HOW I EDIT VIDEOS | workflow, color grading, animations, etc. 🌟

hello wonderful humans welcome back to the bliss  bean and welcome to a video editing masterclass I   don't know if I can call myself a master but I  have been editing videos for a couple of years   I've been using Final Cut Pro for five months  now and people have told me that they like my   videos so I do think I have some knowledge to  share with you I'm gonna tell you pretty much   everything that I can about how I use Final Cut  Pro from how I do handwritten text and car grade   all the way to what I do with footage after  I'm done and the techniques that I use to edit   productively and efficiently so in this video  I will be working with Final Cut Pro but I do   think a lot of the advice applies no matter what  program you're using especially the productivity   tips that I'm going to share at the end so even  if you don't use Final Cut stick around I think   you'll still learn something and if you do use  premier I would also recommend checking out my   previous version of this video where I was still  using premier so grab a notebook and let's learn   how to edit so the first question that I wanted  to answer is something I've been getting a lot   but tree Jay why did you abandon team Premiere and  switch to Final Cut Pro so I used to have the full   Adobe suite which was $20 a month for students and  teachers and fifty-three dollars a month otherwise   so a few months after graduating high school I  decided to downgrade to a photography plan which   only includes Photoshop and Lightroom for ten  dollars a month I could have added on premier   as a single program for 21 dollars a month but  the one-time $300 cost a Final Cut Pro became a   better deal if I used the program for more than  14 months and I definitely intend to be editing   videos for longer than 14 months so mainly it was  a financial decision I'm not super well-versed and   like the backend tech side of video editing  but from what I've read online it seems to   me that the general consensus is that playback  with premiere is a little lag year it tends to   crash more often and as someone who has worked  with both premier and Final Cut Pro on my aging   early 2014 MacBook Air both programs struggled a  lot but I do think Final Cut Pro worked a little   more smoothly Final Cut Pro is also just a  simpler program which might be a downside if   you aren't working with really complicated  projects like one project came to mind was   a freelance video I did where I had to interview  a bunch of people on the street and I asked them   all the same questions and then I had to cut up  all my footage and color-code it by question and   do all this arranging I did it on premiere and I  don't know how I would have accomplished that on   final cut so if you're trying to I don't know put  together an oscar-winning documentary I don't have   experience with that I don't know a Final Cut  Pro will do the job for you but I do know that   YouTube videos are generally pretty simple and  so in my experience working with Final Cut Pro   has actually made video editing a more enjoyable  experience and I do think it has made me faster   at editing as well so I used to film with both my  Nikon d50 200 and my canon g7x mark ii i've since   started using only my canon it's just simpler  to use one camera I love the footage that I get   from it the autofocus works really well the image  stabilization is great it's small and light and   easy to deal with and it's also just easier to  color grade my footage of all of it came from   the same camera for settings on the camera there's  a menu that allows you to set picture styles and   I learned somewhere that you want to use a flat  profile to preserve as much of the information   about the image as possible that will make it look  better once you color graded so this camera comes   with a default neutral picture style which you  could probably use but I went a step further and I   made a custom picture style and if you want to you  can just copy the same settings that I have but   you can see just switching between these how the  custom one looks a lot less contrasted a lot more   muted as for the video settings I always shoot at  1080p 60 frames per second to give me the freedom   to slow it down if I want to for microphone I  just use my phone which is sitting in front of   me right now it is an underrated recording device  let me tell you usually my filming setup is just   a pile of boxes so somewhere within that mess  I'll place my phone with the bottom end pointing   towards me I'll go to the voice memos app and  just start an audio recording for a tripod I   used this bendy thing and I will link it in the  description but honestly I don't recommend it   that much it just worked out really quickly and  it wasn't that stable to begin with also the top   has a tendency to pop off which is really an  issue considering that it supports like 600   dollars worth of equipment so I am looking into  getting a new one if you have any recommendations   let me know I also have this monopod thing which  sounds like something from a sci-fi alien movie   really the only time I use this is if I have some  sort of overhead shot so then what I do is I put   my camera on top of it put the whole contraption  on my desk and then slide everything forward as   much as possible so that the camera hangs over  the edge of the desk as much as possible so then   since it's pointing directly downward I can film  something on the floor or set up some sort of a   flat surface underneath it for the computer itself  I was using an early 2014 MacBook Air for a long   time in my previous video editing video a lot of  people in the comments were like how do you manage   to do this on a MacBook Air honestly I don't know  but I've recently upgraded to a 2019 refurbished   MacBook Pro I love this so much this computer is  like my child now it definitely has made quite   the difference in my editing honestly sometimes I  don't even notice it because once you get used to   it not being gladdy you forget that there was a  point in time when you could barely do anything   without the computer lagging so yeah it's been a  worthy investment so after an exhausting filming   session my SD card is full of video clips and  my phone is full of audio clips I recently got   this adapter thing for my new computer that goes  from whatever this is called to 2 USB ports micro   SD + SD + q XD I think I plugged my SD card into  my computer along with my samsung t5 solid-state   drive a solid-state drive an SSD it works faster  than a hard drive but it's also more expensive   so this basically serves as a temporary storage  space for the footage that I'm currently working   with it has 500 gigabytes which is plenty usually  for storing only the projects that are in progress   so on the solid-state drive I will create a new  folder starting with what the destination for the   video is so YT IG IG TV the date I'm gonna publish  it and then the name of the video and I'm just   gonna pretend that I'm editing my morning routine  a video right now I dumped all of the footage into   that folder and then while it's transferring I go  on my phone and I rename all the audio clips that   I just took for better organization my airdrop  them to my computer and I put them and that   same folder in a subfolder that I usually call  100 throughout the editing process I'll usually   create more folders so any graphics that I design  go in a separate folder music usually goes in the   audio folder if I use old footage from a hard  drive I'll separate that out so then in Final   Cut Pro I make a library I just copy the name  of the folder and then a project within that   library 1080p for the format and then 29.97 for  the framerate and then I import everything so   I'm gonna show you the actual morning routine  folder so that you can see what it looks like   I usually just make two folders in the beginning  so a video for the talking footage and the audio   and then a folder for all the b-roll roll these  aren't called folders these are events so again   throughout the editing process I'll usually add  more events to organize all the files that I'm   gathering so with a few exceptions most of the  videos that I make have one main clip of me just   talking to the camera like I'm doing right now so  that's what I always start with when I'm editing   because it's like the foundation of the house  so remember my video comes from my camera and   my audio comes from my phone so the first thing  I need to do is synchronize those I click on the   first video that I hold down command also select  the first audio right click on that and then   synchronize clips you can tell very quickly if  you accidentally chose mismatching Clips because   if they do match Final Cut Pro does this very  quickly otherwise it spends a long time thinking   about it so I dropped this new synchronize clip  into the timeline there's me fidgeting with the   props so I double click on it to expand it and  take a look at the individual elements of the   synchronize clip the audio from my phone I will  increase the volume all the way up to 12 and then   the audio from my camera negative 15 negative 20  whatever I'm feeling that day once that's done I   click the arrow to go back and then I can use the  blade tool to slice everything up so as I'm doing   this I look at the audio waveforms a lot because  when I'm recording I repeat things over and over   so instead of listening to myself say the same  sentence 6 times I can sort of tell by the shape   of the waveform where I'm saying the same thing  over and over so yeah I just go through the entire   video slicing dicing I was so once I reach the  point where either the video or the audio cuts   out I just have to go back to my footage and  create a new synchronized clip so because the   video cut out I go to the second video clip but  still the first audio clip synchronize those and   repeat the entire process once that foundation  is entirely in place it is time to spice up your   video with some b-roll I think when I watch other  youtubers videos the b-roll is what I notice the   most because it's not technically necessary you  can just have a video where you're talking to   the camera the role takes a lot of planning a lot  of time a lot of effort but it really makes your   video more engaging more professional so yeah my  recommendation is to take the time to shoot some   b-roll I usually record it in whatever order it  was most efficient to record in so my files here   won't be in the same order that they'll show up  in in the video in other words I can't just be   like clip one clip to clip three before because  it's gonna be more like clip 1 clip to clip 3   clip 4 does that make sense so the way that I  do this usually is I'll just play through the   entire video and because I plan my videos out in  advance and I've basically visualized the entire   thing already as I'm listening to the talking  footage I remember what b-roll I intended to   place there so I just go and find it from all of  my footage drop it in easy peasy by the way some   keyboard shortcuts as you're watching this clip  you press I to set the end point O to set the out   point and then cue drops it into your secondary  storyline my computer's being really loud right   now so I hope this doesn't show up in the audio  so anyways once I'm done doing that I go back to   my b-roll and there will be a little arrow next  to the clips that you used so I just checked the   ones that don't have arrows next to them to see  if there's a spot in the video I could place them   because I recorded everything at 60 frames per  second if I want to I can set it to half speed   for that buttery slow motion effect I also usually  silence the b-roll clips and because these are two   actions that I do a lot I actually set keyboard  shortcuts for them so the keyboard shortcut H   does half speed and then asks silence is it a  lot of times if I'm like really getting into   the flow of editing I'll just feel like q sh sh  keyboard shortcuts are really important to setup   so if you notice that you're doing something very  often recommend programming it to an easy key to   press these are all clips where my camera was  on a tripod so it wasn't moving at all but for   footage this handheld like this lately I've been  using the optical stabilization feature because I   have a computer that can actually handle it so at  this point the basic structure of the video is in   place and I'll just play through the whole thing  to make some fine adjustments a lot of times I'll   cut out entire sections of talking if I feel like  I'm talking too much I'll adjust the lengths of   some of the Theal make some notes on edits that  I need to do later I also check up on the audio   at this point so I like to see my audio meter nice  and big and clear so if you click on it right here   below your video it'll show up on the side of the  screen I've heard varying opinions for how loud   the talking should be but generally I try to keep  it around 6 decibels you just don't want it to be   constantly reaching the 0 mark because that's  where it sounds weird so usually my volume will   change throughout the video for example if a long  session of filming is slowly draining the life out   of me and I can't muster up a loud voice anymore  so in that case I will select individual clips or   groups of clips and just go to the volume tab to  bring them to the correct loudness now it's time   to add all the fancy-schmancy stuff so for one I  have to do the intro and usually I already know   what I want to do with it so it's just a matter  of executing my idea sometimes I get creative   sometimes I keep it simple and it's just a title  with some of the more aesthetic clips as a preview   for my titles at the intro as well as throughout  the video as like little section dividers if it's   something simple I'll just create a text layer  and Final Cut Pro usually I just use the basic   title template otherwise the typewriter if I  want the letters to come on one at a time but   there's a lot of customization options here so  you can get most of what you need done without   going into Photoshop or anything you can also save  your settings which saves a lot of time so I have   these two that I use a lot otherwise if there's  something more complicated that I want to do with   the title that I'll go into Photoshop to design  it so for example with my morning routine video I   wanted the writer to have like a scattered effect  so in Photoshop I created a text layer designed it   how I wanted it and then I rasterized the layer  so that I could move individual letters around   yes that did take awhile and then I turned off the  background so it had a transparent background and   export it as a PNG I'll also create all of my  little doodles at this stage so hopefully tech   stuff the illustrations that I do are like stars  or something I will do a more detailed explanation   of the Wiggly text later in this video so stick  around after that it's time for the music step   I only put in music after I feel good about the  structure of the rest of the video because if I   put in music and then I delete a whole section  of the video everything gets messed up because   I really pay attention to how the music pairs  with the video that's playing at the moment so   then I would just have to move everything around  and that's such a hassle I usually get my music   from this channel called audio library they work  with artists to compile music that's copyright   free you just have to include a credit in the  description which they make really easy you just   copy it from their description and paste it into  yours for extracting and downloading the audio I   used this website called YT mp3 C seem I can't  guarantee that it won't give you a virus but it   is a quick and easy way to extract it so once I  have a song I will usually put it into my project   folder as well as this big folder of video music  that I have because I just want to like build up   an archive of songs that I've used in the past so  I imported it into Final Cut Pro drop it into my   timeline generally I'll keep it pretty loud for  the intro and then once I start talking I just go   a little bit before that and I made a keyframe  and then a keyframe shortly after I've started   talking in order to bring down that volume now the  volume of every song is different so I can't give   you an exact number but usually I bring it down to  like negative 12 negative 15 negative 20 I also go   through the rest of the video and if there's any  lick transitions or montages where I'm not talking   I just bring up the music for that part usually  the song is not long enough to last the whole   video so I need to copy and paste it so sometimes  if it sounds natural or just duplicate the song   and have it back-to-back if it has some sort of  a weird intro or outro I'll cut that part off   so that it's just nice till the background music  that you can kind of tune out and almost not pay   attention to I also tried put that transition  point in a spot where I'm talking so that my   talking covers up the fact that the song just  restarted or if it has some sort of a cool shift   then I'll actually use it to maybe like emphasize  a new topic that I'm bringing up or emphasize a   transition or something like that and so now it  wasn't ever desperately I've been getting so many   questions on this first of all a lot of people  phrase the question as like what filter do you   put on your videos to make them all look the same  or to look aesthetic and it's really not as simple   as just dropping a filter on there and being done  it is a different process every time that I do it   it takes a lot of time to do them but I will try  my best to explain how I do it so a while ago I   downloaded this plug-in for a Lightroom that  lets you take a photo that you're editing in   Lightroom and it will take those settings and  convert them into a LUT which is a filter for   a video basically it won't look exactly the same  because photos and videos are just different and   also not all photo settings have equivalent  video settings but it's a place to start so   in Premiere what I used to do was I would make  an adjustment layer stretch it across my entire   video and apply the LUT to that Final Cut Pro it  doesn't really have adjustment layer so I had to   find a workaround I downloaded this custom file  it basically functions like a title except there's   no title it's just blank so whatever effects  you applied to it will apply to whatever is   underneath it on the timeline so I dropped that  adjustment layer into the timeline and then I   go to my video effects and I grab the custom LUT  effect I actually drop it on there twice because   lately I've been mixing two different presets but  I'm just extra like that so the first one that I   have here is called pale skies and then I'm going  to turn this off so you can see the other one the   other one is called film so as you can see these  are both very vibrant and intense so I usually   bring them all the way down to like 0.2 or 0.1  I'll start with this one this one just kind of   brightens it up and then the film one I like  because it adds a little bit of like a green   tint to the shadows so that's what we have so far  almost no difference if you click up here you can   see the color boards and I use the exposure one  a lot to bring down the mid-tones so that there's   more contrast I also use the color board a lot and  I will bring the mid-tones up the right to give it   a little bit more of a blue pink tint rather  than a orange green one I've also been using   the color curves so usually I will bring down the  highlights a little bit bring up the shadows this   is what you call an s-curve just makes the video  look softer overall so I usually mess around with   this for a while I'm gonna show you the original  project so that you can see what my color grading   actually look like by the time that I was happy  with it this is a process I still struggle with   but I think it gets easier as you practice and you  kind of start to find your own style so then I go   through and I stretch that layer across my video  make sure the b-roll is also under it because   every clip looks different one might be darker  one might be warmer for example I often need to   make adjustments to one specific clip so instead  of making the adjustments to that layer I will   click on the clip itself and do whatever it is  that I need to do so for example maybe I want to   brighten this clip up I would bring the mid-tones  up a little bit if I have a group of Clips all in   a row that need the same adjustments for example  let's say here a cloud passed in front of the Sun   and so I need to brighten up all of these clips  in that case I will either copy the adjustments   that I did to this one and then command shift  V to paste the color board effects to the other   clips or undo I will cut out a section of that  adjustment layer and make whatever adjustments   I need to that directly the end screen is that  frame at the end for the youtuber will direct you   to some of their recommended videos or a link  to subscribe to their Channel I designed this   little collage thing in Photoshop about a year  ago and I definitely need to update it but for   the time being I have exported as a JPEG so any  time I'm making a new video I just import that   JPEG put it at the end and stretch it to about 15  seconds I have the music going up where I say bye   and then it goes all the way to the end of the end  screen and then I use this little slider thing in   order to make it fade out finally after hours and  hours you are ready to export your video once I'm   ready to share my masterpiece with the world  I go to file share master file because if you   export it to YouTube it will upload it directly  to YouTube and it won't save anything on your   computer and we don't want that so the master file  is a default option I just add final to the title   quickly scrub through to make sure that it is the  whole video and nothing extra for the settings for   the video codec you want to use h.264 everything  else looks good next and save now you wait while   you're waiting I'll teach you a few more editing  tricks so for all of my illustrations and doodles   I use a graphics tablet I recently got this new  one this is the Wacom s Wacom Intuos s bluetooths   in pistachio I got this to replace my key on 580  because that one was having connectivity problems   and also I just wanted something more compact  like I'm not doing any large-scale artwork so I   just need something that's easy to transport nice  and thin I also really like that it's Bluetooth   because it just makes for a less cluttered desk  area and also because I think the connectivity   problems with that old one were mainly because  the cord was starting to wear down so hopefully   this one will last me a longer time I showed  how to do this in my last video so I hope you   don't mind me reusing b-roll footage but for  those Wiggly doodle animations I will make a   new file in Photoshop and I use the film video  preset because that makes the file 1920 by 1080   which is exactly the size of our video so first  I'll unlock the background and change the color   overlay to something darker so that I can act  see what it is that I'm drawing so let's say for   example I want to write the word hello and have it  wiggle so I make a new layer I write the word once   and then I reduce the opacity of that layer make  a new one and try to trace over it as closely as I   can this will not be perfect and it should not be  perfect because that's what makes it wiggle once   the second layer is done I hide that one make a  third layer repeat the process and usually I only   do three frames of animation because two just  looks weird because it's going back and forth   and four is just more work than we need to do so  three it is I bring the opacity of the original   layer back up to 100% and then export each of them  individually Photoshop by default does not have   a shortcut for this but because I export so many  PNG program command queue for this normally that's   the shortcut for quitting Photoshop but I don't  really know why anyone would need a shortcut for   quitting so there we go I export each layer into  my graphics folder and title them something like   hello one hello - hello three so then I import  those files this is a different graphic don't   pay attention to that I place each one of them  into my timeline and it depends on what speed you   want for your animation usually I'll make them  anywhere from like three frames to 15 frames so   then once you have those three in place you can  just go command C and command V to paste them a   bunch of times alright next I wanted to show you  a couple of my favorite effects in Final Cut Pro   that I've been using this is totally a matter of  like personal style preference but I just wanted   to show you my favorites bad TV makes it look  like a bad TV prism does almost like that 3d   glasses effect with the separated colors you can  apply a frame to your video and there's a bunch   of different styles that you can choose from my  favorite is the 35 millimeter one it looks like   just a shot from a camera and then camcorder is  a fun one if you're going for that vlog aesthetic another question that came up a lot was how I  designed my thumbnails I did do a video on this   back in like the very early days of the Bliss Bean  and so my style has pretty much changed completely   since then so I'll try to give a few pointers for  how I currently do my thumbnails let's pretend   that I'm redesigning my morning routine thumbnail  again I start with a new file that is 1920 by 1080   I usually try to take some photos while I'm  filming that I can then edit and use for the   thumbnail cuz it just looks better than taking a  screenshot from the video so I'll edit that photo   in Lightroom and then bring it into Photoshop  sometimes I keep my thumbnails really simple   and it's literally just one photo other times I  get a little bit more creative and I'll cut out   elements of different photos and make them into a  collage here I'm just doing like a rough cut out   which is a style that I've been playing with but  usually I would do a very precise selection which   obviously takes a lot more time sometimes I'll  put in two images side by side and then I might   just add like a little border in between them  for the text if I want handwritten text then I   will use my graphics tablet but I don't have the  driver currently installed on my new computer so   I'm gonna do it with my hand and it's gonna look  really ugly shoot okay there we go if it's on a   busy background or I just wanted to pop more than  what I do is I will use command J to duplicate the   layer double click that bottom one to open up the  layer styles color overlay to like a dark brown   or something and then shift that layer down into  the right a couple of pixels so as you can see   it just does like a little drop shadow thing if I  want to use a font instead of handwritten text in   that case my go-to like brand fonts are currently  fitara and Georgia used to be effort and Garamond   but I had to change some of the things that I  like to play with are increasing the tracking   or the spacing between letters sometimes I will  do an arch or a wavy thing so for that you just   go up here and for the arch I use the arch setting  for the wavy thing I use the flag setting another   thing you might have noticed that I do sometimes  in my thumbnails is I will have the out of letters   so for that I duplicate the text layer again  command J double click on it to see the layer   styles and then check the stroke I usually set it  to maybe like two or three pixels in a white color   then go back and reduce the fill of that layer  to 0% and then when you move it downwards you'll   see that it's just the outline so sometimes I use  that as a kind of drop shadow by just placing it   underneath the original text other times I like to  do like a repeating effect going down the rest of   the thumbnail this looks kind of bad but you get  the idea another thing I do sometimes is I'll just   add like little white lines to outline elements  of my photos to emphasize them more so one   example is my thumbnail for my journal breeding  video I just use a graphics tablet and a simple   white brush and I went around my body and the  journal a little bit to make it more interesting are you getting tired yet cuz I am just a few  more sections to go this one is a quick little   aside to those of you who are interested  in creating content not only for YouTube   but also for Instagram I've recently started  editing vertical previews of my videos for   Instagram stories so for that I just create a  new project and you have to change your video   format to custom so that you can switch around  those numbers and get a vertical video 29.97 for   the frame rate again then I will just go back  to the original project and copy over some of   my favorite clips from that I might copy in that  entire intro sequence with all of its animations   I also grab the music and the adjustment layer  obviously since you're working with a vertical   format now you're gonna have to increase the  scale so that it takes up the entire screen   and then I command C and command shift V to apply  that scale adjustment to the rest of my clips I'll   also go through each individual clip and move  it horizontally to a place where it makes sense oops so then I just listen to the music and try  to time the clips to the music it's just a short   15 second clip so I don't spend too much time on  it for exporting it's the same settings I've also   started editing out like one individual section  of my video to post as an independent piece of   content for IG TV so for that I want to keep the  video horizontal but I don't want to have that   boring black background so in Photoshop I have  this like where I put in a photo I've added a   color overlay to it that is just at about half  opacity then I put in the title of the video my   Instagram handle and Lincoln bio so I export that  as a JPEG and I break it into Final Cut Pro if   this is a preview that I made for a recent video I  usually keep a little intro and then it moves into   this layout just ignore that the file is missing  so I just copy a section of the full video into   this new project and then for captions I just  make a text layer type what I hear until I run   out of space use the Blade tool to cut it there  again type what I hear and just keep going and   going so because I have kind of a system in place  already for organizing my files from the beginning   of video editing it's usually pretty organized  already the only task that I really need to do   is to label all of my footage for future use this  is something that I do on Sundays when I'm doing   my photo organizing routine so I'm actually  gonna plug in my hard drive to show you what a   fully labeled folder looks like so for the talking  Clips I will label them with the yellow label and   then the b-roll clips are green and then I name  everything based on what's happening in the clip   so I really try to think about what words would  future betray be searching if she were looking   for this clip so for example this is a clip of  me changing the sheets on my bed so I named this   one making bed changing sheets cleaning room  chores this is a video of me answering emails   at my desk so it's called working desk answering  emails this is so helpful because now that I've   been doing YouTube for two years I have quite a  bit of footage built up so I will very often dip   into that archive so that I don't have to reshoot  everything every single time that I make a new   video once everything is named I will take that  folder and move it off my SSD onto my hard drive   currently I have two four terabyte hard drives  just in case one fails they hold exactly the   same files and I will link to both of them in the  description okay last section obviously this would   not be a bliss beam video if I didn't talk about  productivity I think a lot of people view editing   as this like sacred creative process where you  disappear into your room for hours without eating   or drinking and you don't know how many hours are  passing by until finally you emerge from your room   with dark circles under your eyes and a finished  video I disagree with that I think there are ways   to do editing in a productive and efficient  way and I also think that editing efficiently   doesn't mean that your videos will feel robotic  or that they'll lose that special creative   touch personally I think that productivity and  creativity support each other I think I'm better   able to not only come up with creative ideas but  actually successfully execute them because I stay   organized in my process and because I manage  my editing time so here are some productivity   tips for editing first of all I recommend using a  Pomodoro Technique this is where you weren't for   25 minutes and then take a break for five minutes  and then repeat that over and over I know it might   feel weird to apply this to a creative activity  because normally it's used for like school work   writing etc but I think it's just as important  for editing because editing can get quite tiring   and you need those five minutes not only to get  your blood moving and get oxygen to your brain   but it's also a really good mental break so when  I'm editing and I step away from my computer for   five minutes I'll use that time to think about  what did I accomplish in the last 25 minutes   how's my video looking maybe I'll set a goal like  I want to finish all the color grading in the next   25 minutes or I might come up with a creative idea  that I wouldn't have otherwise come up with if I   had just stayed sitting in front of my computer  related to coming up with creative ideas I think   it's really important to have a place to write  things down as you're editing so many ideas will   pop into your head while you work and they'll just  disappear again if you don't write them down so   I have this notebook and I would just set aside a  page to keep near me while I'm editing it'll have   lists like what title frames do I need to design  what doodles do I need to draw what b-roll I might   still have to record etc I'm having this list on  hand also helps you to effectively tasks batch   tasks batching is where you do similar tasks  all at the same time so for example to avoid   going back and forth between Photoshop and final  Pro wasting time exporting and importing over and   over I will just keep a running list of all of the  graphics that I need to design and I'll get those   all done in one go I go to Photoshop I design  check things off import everything put it where it   needs to go in the video and then I'm done okay I  think that's everything I do have work to say yes   it may be hard to believe but I could still keep  talking so I still want to make videos on how I   plan my content calendar how I plan out videos my  workflows for uploading and promoting videos how   I design graphics and Photoshop honestly I just  really like teaching people these things so maybe   someday it would be a fun side project to have  like a separate channel for teaching YouTube or   photography or stuff like that but for the time  being I was getting so many questions about video   editing and I just really wanted to put together  a helpful guide so I hope it was helpful it took   a really long time to make so if you could give  this video a like and subscribe to my channel   I would really appreciate that maybe share  this video with a friend who might get some   value from it I hope you have a wonderful  weekend and thank you so much for watching
