How to Record a Guitar Video with Backing Track for Youtube. With Bias FX & Reaper

hey everyone all right I've been asked about this a lot over the past year and a half or so so I figured it's high time to finally get it done and to make a video to explain some of this stuff to you guys should you want to make your own guitar recordings and/or videos I'm going to try to burn through this pretty quickly as to not make this video two hours long that said I'm going to be glossing over a lot of stuff just basically providing the absolute basics to get you up and recording your guitar and making videos should you want to dig a little bit deeper into the inner workings of digital audio workstations and video editing and whatnot there's tons of in-depth tutorials out there on YouTube for you to look into I'll be pretty much providing you with just the basics because that's all I really know but it's enough to get you started I'm certainly no expert on any of the things I'm going to be showing you so know that going forward I've pretty much just been expanding my knowledge of this stuff as I've gone along up until two years ago I didn't know anything about any of this stuff guitar software and digital audio workstations and audio interfaces and video editing none of us but I've gone from producing videos that were barely listenable two years ago to constantly being complimented on the quality of my recordings within the past year or so so I must be doing something right the setup that I have works and that's good enough for me and apparently for a lot of you guys as well because like I said this is a video I've been asked to make by quite a few of you hopefully it'll help you get started now there are a number of ways to make a guitar recording and/or video the simplest of course is to plug in your amp set up your phone or your camera and record simple but really not very versatile and the sound quality will generally be quite poor plus if you want to play and record over backing tracks like I do a lot it's nearly impossible so if you want very good to excellent sound quality with your recordings coupled with the ability to edit change tone mix multitrack etc you're going to need some equipment and some software your you'll basically need a small home studio now don't let that scare you okay some of the things you'll need can be gotten either free or reasonably cheap my whole studio home studio was less than $800 and that includes my laptop so let's just assume you already have a computer or a laptop that'll cut your costs down a lot right there now we're into the three four hundred dollar range to set up your little home studio and that's not too bad now before we dig into the nuts and bolts of everything in your home studio setup let's just quickly run through what you'll need first the hardware one doesn't actually need a whole lot of hardware to get started the guitar of course that's a given a computer or a laptop and we'll just assume they're both a given what you will need is an audio interface one of these guys or an amplifier with a built-in audio interface some studio monitor headphones or studio monitors speakers if you if you wish to be amplified a camera for the video side of things and that'll do it for you to get started as far as software goes you'll need the drivers for your audio interface you'll need a DAW a digital audio workstation and a guitar software suite if you wish to be software driven like I am and some video editing software to put the video together so let's just dig a little bit deeper into what we're going to need and the cost of some of these things obviously like I already said you'll need a guitar and a cable talent is optional at this point now first and foremost what we need to do is get the signal from our guitar into our computer and you're not going to find a guitar jack input anywhere on your computer we're going to need a way to do that for that we're going to need what's known as an audio interface lots of small amplifiers being made these days built-in audio interfaces like my little black star ID cord that I use a little practice amp so if you wish you can install the software for your amp onto your computer connect your amp to your laptop with a USB and you're ready to go you're connected that's one way but it's not how most of us do it you know including myself most of us use a separate audio interface to get our guitar signal into our computer I personally use this one this is a Behringer euphoria um to a cheap budget interface that works like a charm bérenger is a German company that makes really decent budget musical hardware this one cost about 50 bucks on Amazon and works great this one only has two channels of one for a mic and one for an instrument I only use the instrument channel as that's all I need personally if you so wish you could always record with your amp and a microphone run the mic into the audio interface but that's not the way that I go about it I'm pretty much software driven as far as tone goes now there are more expensive audio interfaces out there some with more channels and a more sturdy build this one's plastic the focusrite scarlett being one that's probably the most popular on the market at about three times the price of this one but I've tried both and I can hear no difference between the two whatsoever so as far as keeping the budget to a minimum I highly recommend the behringer it does the job very well just don't abuse it because like I said it's made of plastic well the only other hardware you'll need is some studio monitor headphones if you wish to play in silence or studio monitor speakers if noises isn't a problem and you wish to be amplified if you don't have an amp I pretty much always use headphones these are excellent lower end audio technica m20 X's and they're about 60 bucks on Amazon now be sure to use studio monitor headphones and not just any normal headphones normal headphones are internally eq'd for whatever music their design four and you do not want that you want the pure guitar signal going to your ears studio monitor speakers are optional but good for mixing your final recording you can always mix with headphones some prefer it actually I do it sometimes myself and the studio monitors are good for amplifying yourself like I said if you don't have an amplifier so you can use suit of your monitors as an amplifier when you're software-driven so anyway now you've got your guitar connected to your laptop or computer now you need something to record what you're playing into it what you need is a DAW a digital audio workstation D aw you know those big studio mixing boards that you see sound engineers using in the studio with all the dials and levers and meters well it's basically that but on your laptop and herein lies probably the steepest learning curve of everything involved but I'll try to give you the basics at least to get you started there are a ton of DAWs out there on the market some are pretty cheap some of them can be fairly expensive while others are free actually I'm not a Mac user for you Mac users out there Garage Band I guess is quite a popular DAW and free to use as well while Logic Pro X is a big step up from that which will set you back a couple of hundred dollars I understand a few of the big-name DAWs for what the window marketplace are Cubase Ableton Live Pro Tools FL Studio 20 amongst many others and again all at various price points if what I use doesn't suit you you can always check out one of those now the one that I use is called Reaper it's $60 and it's actually one of the better easiest and more intuitive DAWs on the market and Reaper has a 60 day free trial for you to try it out which actually never expires if you so choose so you can keep on using it forever and put up with the nag screens if you like but 60 bucks is on the cheaper side of things when it comes to DAWs and so I would suggest paying for it now before we dig into a little bit of a reaper and how to record through Reaper we need some tone and like I said previously if you're using an amp with a built-in audio interface you've already got that and you're pretty well ready to record for those of you who wish to be software driven like myself then we're going to have to get some guitar software onto our computer or laptop I personally use bias FX - professional by a company called positive grid and I'm extremely satisfied with it it's got about 60 different amps a hundred different pedals and effects tons of presets it's really a fantastic guitar suite and it's about a hundred and fifty dollars I think for the professional version it's constantly on sale you can usually get it for much less or you could always opt for the the standard version of bias effects with about a third of the options but it's still a really good suite to get you started and that's what I used for about the first year before I upgraded to the professional version because I found it on sale one day and just like the digital audio workstations there's numerous guitar software suites out there on the market for you to choose from and again some are expensive some are cheap and some are free I think there was one called cakewalk which is completely free I'll be guiding you through a bias effects - Pro but they all have a very similar kind of interface should you decide to go with something else for your guitar software needs so at this point we've got our guitar connected to our laptop through our audio interface our guitar software suite and our DAW is installed on the laptop and we're pretty much ready to record I'm going to show you how to set up everything get some sound pumping through everything a basic run-through of how to use the dah how to load the guitar software into the DA how to download a backing track how to load your guitar suite how to record how to get everything working together basically towards a finished product how to make a video sync the video with the audio so anyway I'm going to pop myself down into the corner here and and then I'm gonna bring up the digital audio workstation Reaper and we'll have a look at that and we'll load up the the guitar software suite first we got to download some drivers for our audio interface and and then we'll get into it so I'm gonna put myself down in the corner and bring that up and then we'll get started all right so I'm going to put links down below in the description for all of this software should you want to use exactly what I'm using but the first thing we need to get on our computer is the drivers for our audio interface each company that makes interfaces prosonic Behringer Focusrite Scarlett they have their own software drivers for their audio interfaces now there is a thing called latency the time it takes from from the signal to get from your guitar down the cable into your audio interface into your computer all through the software back out through the cable back through your audio interface down through the cable of your headphones and into your ears there can be delay and it can be significant to the point where it's unusable you need to get your latency down to nearly zero and software sound drivers that are normal on Mac and on Windows PCs are not good enough you need what's known as a zero for all Azio for all is sound drivers that really kill latency and get it down there specifically made for audio interfaces and they get your latency down close to zero so what you're playing is what you're hearing at the exact same time if you're using an amplifier with built-in audio interface or you're using VST plugins' without a guitar software suite you may not have you know you won't have software drivers that are included with your audio interface so what you'll need is a driver called a zero for all ASIO for all so you'll need that and all of these companies bérenger and prosonic and Focusrite Scarlett they use SEO they use their own proprietary version of a CEO so you're going to want to go whatever audio interface you have you're going to want to go to their website download the SEO drivers from their website for your specific audio interface so I'll link a couple of them down below for whatever interface you choose to use now we're going to open up a reaper so you're gonna want to install reaper on your computer and this is what the reaper interface looks like up here is kind of your your timeline and over here is where you add tracks and down here is your tracks as well so whatever you add up here is going to go down here and this is where all the sliders come in like you see on a studio mixing board like to see this right so now you've got all kinds of sliders different tracks and we're just going to delete these for now now you can go into options first we want to load our guitar Suites so you're going to want to go and install your de tar suite if you use bias effects it'll be down below I think there's a trial for that one as well I think AmpliTube has a simple version of their software for free with just like three or four amps and a couple of pedals and so you can always try that as well that's supposed to be pretty decent but I haven't used it but so anyway we're gonna go into options here and you got all kinds of stuff here that I don't know what it means you know like smooth seeking seek at end of measure and external timecode synchronization and you know ripple edit pre track and show overlapping media items in lanes I don't know what any of this stuff needs I usually work out of here this up here in this top right corner is basically your preferences as well so you're going to want to go in there and when you install your drivers for your audio interface either going this Reaper will look for them and right up here you're going to want your audio system and you're going to have WDM kernel streaming Windows XP direct sound wave out you don't want any of those those are the ones that are going to give you latency what you want is a Zeo so you're gonna click on a zo and then when you go into a co-driver in this panel here you're going to hopefully find your audio interface mine shows up as bared your USB audio so I click on that you're gonna want to enable inputs first is your first channel on my audio interface it's the microphone my second channel is my instrument input that's the guitar so that's the one I'm gonna want to use we're gonna just leave this the way it is for now output range I only see one output on my interface and that's for the headphones though it has two maybe there's one in the back for something but so anyway we've got one two here request sample rate I do not have that checked I have it the sample rate at 44 100 now when you install the software of the guitar software suite it will create a folder called VST plugins and that's where it will put itself as a plug-in so you can plug it into your digital audio workstation now over on the left hand side here plugins you're going to go down to VST and this is the path that when you open reaper it will search your computer for VST plugins and it should find the folder that your guitar soft software created and loaded into Reaper as Reaper loads upon startup if it doesn't you will find that folder and you will plug it in here you will edit you will copy the the the path plug it in this this spot here auto detect and it should find the path through your VST plugins' if it doesn't do it automatically so we're going to just close out of here and so now we're going to load a track so we've got our preference preferences all set here and I think that's there's a lot of stuff over here and I don't know much about any of it and I don't touch most of that stuff so on over here you're going to want to open a track so we just opened a track and when you open that track you're gonna want to armed that track and that's right here that's the arm button and then this that's the first thing you want to do and then this little window here is going to be your input and right now it's on input one which is the microphone so we're going to want to switch that to input 2 which is the instrument input on our audio interface as a couple of buttons here mute if you want to if you have a bunch of tracks open you want to meet one of them this is so low I think this will just play that track and basically mute everything else and you've got your your meters here so which you don't want to go like clipping and whatnot and and that's about it for loading a track and now you just double-click you can load more tracks so now if we want it to load a backing track well let's get some sound going through this first let's just delete this and I'm gonna grab a guitar and I've got my guitar into my interface I've got this loaded and now the tone that you're going to hear is going to be the tone coming from my microphone that I'm using to speak with my studio monitors in front of it so this is not going to be the tone you're going to have this is a microphone home from my studio monitors but so right now we've got no effects so you're gonna want to go into this little button here FX click on that and then all of your plugins are going to be here Reaper comes loaded with a ton of their own plugins and a lot of them are really good they have amplifier plugins pedal plugins you don't even need guitar software but a lot of the the plugins that they do have are they don't have much of an interface they're all very much like this with like sliders and and but you know if you're on a budget you could you could load up your guitar you know a guitar amplifier a bunch of effects and what right through Reaper without even having a doTERRA software suite but in mind I'm gonna just delete that remove effects and hold on let's get rid of that so we're gonna go to new effects and bias FX - so I've gotten all my plugins here these are all the ones that I use in the last six months or so when you use something that kind of goes into a window of recently used by bias FX - if you're if you're just loading all this for the first time yeah just search for it over here it'll you'll probably find it and well you will find it and so I'm gonna load bias effects - right now now when you load bias effects it's going to load up with a default plug-in and I don't know what the default is called American Dream and so this is the the interface for bias effects - and it you can't load a blank signal chain it loads this one and you can just you know you can go down through this through up here down into all the different pop presets blues presets rock presets metal presets insane presets alternative and then you got your banks here if you want to download preset you can go to the tone cloud up here put a search in through the tone cloud and download different presets like Hotel California Solo Boston 1976 so and then you download those and you put them in different banks or different presets that you create yourself like we're gonna change this one and create our own we're gonna do a whipping post by the Allman Brothers Band for our little demo here and we're gonna want you know maybe early seventies kind of Allman Brothers so we're going to you know these your amps this is a dual lamp setup I'm gonna go back to single we've got like a tube screamer here setup we're gonna keep that but we're going to get a Marshall plexi and so anyway you're going to go over here into your crunch amps I've got a Marshall plexi right there replace that I'm gonna get some nice gain on that get that up to a boat maybe in nine take our volume get that up to nine little treble a little bass and we're gonna take our drive and then you can adjust all the get those up here now I'm probably gonna be too loud [Music] Reverb let's replace that with a stereo reverb whipping post has a lot of reverb on it so bring that down this plate reverb which I like a lot will bring that bring that down to 160 and I think that's a little bit coarse going there let's get rid of that chorus [Music] so that's noise noise gate let's turn on the noise gate now our noise is gone okay so now we've got a tome that we can use for a whipping post and that's kind of how you do that you you know you can go into adhere and it'll give you all of the you know your noise gates couple of three noise gates compressor a whole bunch of compressors pitch pitch modulation a bunch of boost pedals a bunch of draw different Drive pedals distortion pedals eq's modulation your chorus your flange who's your phasers your Tremeloes a whole bunch of different delays five or six different reverbs so anyway I really like this software suite you've got a tuner up here you've got a looper if you like to do looping I never use a looper so anyway we've got this and then if we want to call this save as new we want to save it so let's save that as whipping post one and then you select a bank down into Bank one okay so if we ever want to use that again we can go down to bank one these are all of my presets there's whipping post one so let's go back to that let's close this so now we have our track open we have some sound now we're gonna want a backing track so here's what I usually do to get a backing track I have a good backing track for whipping posts that I actually paid for but this is what I would normally do for almost all of my videos we're going to open up YouTube now you can always go to guitar backing tracks calm that is an excellent site for backing tracks let's go to youtube and put in a search for with Bing post backing track and it'll give you a bunch of backing tracks and then you go on to maybe give it a listen it sounds pretty good so you're gonna want to go up here copy that address back to Google go to youtube to mp3 and this site here YT mp3 CC and then you're going to want to paste right in there convert and download and you'll down it'll download make sure you know where it's downloading to this downloads to my download folder but to make sure you know where downloads to and then we're gonna close that and then we're going to go up here in Reaper we're gonna open a new track and then we're going to go up to insert you're gonna want to insert a media file now these these are all my downloads all my media files that I use for the top 100 guitar solos but the woods so if I had have downloaded while I just did download that whipping post it's in here and I would go and I would find it and I would open it but the the the one that I actually have that I paid for is on my desktop right there so we're gonna open that and that'll go into your new track we're gonna layer this we're gonna multitrack this with four tracks so I'm gonna open up four more tracks or three more tracks so now I have no sorry I have too many tracks open let's remove one of those and let's take this down to the bottom so now we've got three three tracks and we're going to want all the same you know maybe you want the same effect so we're just going to take the first one and drag it down to the second one and then by SIF x2 will load into that one and then we're going to do the same thing for track three drag it down to the effects button and it will load bias effects into that track so now we have three tracks open we're only using the first one first you do not want to arm that one or you'll be recording both tracks at the same time so let's give a listen to there's a this is our timeline there is our backing track so let's give a listen to that and there's all your you know for mixing all of your volume levels for each track so let's take our little timeline find your here put it at the beginning and then press play [Music] so we've got a pretty good mix there and so that is our first track so what we're gonna want to do is so our levels are pretty good so we're going to want to hit the record button so let's bring this over to the beginning give ourselves a little bit of time before it kicks in so we're gonna drag that over maybe how many seconds maybe three seconds and then put our our start cursor at the beginning and then we're gonna hit record oh sorry bass starts first on this one you make a mistake stop delete delete yes let's do that again [Music] save if you're happy with your take back that up now while you're doing this which I should have done myself is record so I'm gonna pretend that I'm gonna grab another camera and I'm gonna set this camera up because I'm using my other camera right here and I'm gonna set this camera up to record myself doing the second track that's with that around you know I've got myself so I'm gonna hit record on my camera and I'm going to disarm that first track if I'm happy with it and I'm just kind of happy with that and then we're gonna arm our second track channel two in our audio interface and and then we're ready to go so now we're recording in the second track and I'm gonna record myself this time with my camera so a good thing to do when you back up with your with your video when you move that forward a good thing to do is to make a note it's good for syncing so when you back this up before the music starts hit a note and it'll give you a spike in your in your timeline and it's good for lining up when you're doing video editing so now that we're in track 2 the second guitar part I'm going to hit record I'm gonna make a little spike [Music] [Music] all right my video shut off but we're gonna we'll stop it before that I don't want my video shut off anyway got enough to use I think so and now we're gonna do track 3 so we're gonna stop that one arm track 3 second input on our audio interface we're going to back everything up to the beginning we're going to hit record again [Music] and then we're gonna save that so we'll stop right there at that point just for our demonstration purposes so now we have three tracks of guitar and one of a backing track and so now you can go back and listen to all of those together and mix them now what you can also do if you make any kind of noises and whatnot you'll be able to get rid of that in video editing that little blip that you're using so anywhere where you're not actually playing if your guitar is on it could be making noise so you can get rid of it so you can go to your timeline here just before you guitar kicks in here you can write you can put your cursor right click go down to a lot of my cameras in the way I can't see what I'm doing here go down to split at playhead split item at cursor and then take that first part left click on it and remove item I'm just going to move my camera into the middle and then remove item same goes don't remove the second one while you can actually you can okay sorry about this my camera is in the way there we go [Music] so split item at cursor or there's no guitar you basically want to kill it split item at cursor and then remove and then the third track there's no guitar until this point up your timeline just before you start playing right click split item at cursor right click and remove item so if that's all we're going to record you're going to want to go over here to where your backing track keeps on playing put your go down to split item at cursor and remove item and that'll make your rendering of this a little bit faster so now we have a recording and now we're going to go up here to file so first actually we're going to go to our we're going to mix this a little bit sorry I'm at the end and bring this to the beginning so that's peaking a little bit so let's bring that down it's peeking it right there maybe that's a little loud to bring that down a bit [Music] it sounds better good so then you play with that right that sounds pretty good and so we're gonna get our master up to about zero and then we're gonna render render this up to file render and you're going to if there's going to be output formats here I've got mp3 and flack you want wave because that's the best of the bunch a file name whipping post directory let's put this on my desktop and and then render so you're going to want this peaking somewhere you know you don't want to get into the red that's a little bit too much a little too close to the red I'm actually in the red so you gonna want to back your volume off just a touch and then go back to render again overwrite what you already did let's see where this one is - - that's going to be well loud it's still almost peaking so let's cancel that go back turn our volume down just to touch more and go back to render overwrite what you previously did and that's better you want to be between minus twelve and and like minus three somewhere in that ballpark so this is now rendering and that's done so do you know where that is you put it in the right directory and so now we have a WAV file and and we also have video so what we need to do is sync our video and our WAV file so let's close Reaper save if you wish we'll call that whipping post save and then shuts down Reaper I have to put move the camera back in here I have to put the video on my computer all right so now we need to sync that video with the the wav file so you're going to want to open up I use shotcut as a video editor it's a free open-source video editor and I think it works very well and I'm quite used to it I'll put a link down below if you want to try out shot cut and I'll give you the basics of this as well so we're gonna log shot cut and this is the what the interface for shot cut looks like so down here is your timeline so you're gonna want to open a video file for your video so go down here to the left add video track and now you also have an audio track so you're gonna go add an audio track and this little guy this is going to be your window right in here where your video will play and this little guy here makes it bigger smaller it's going to move that up so you want to open file so let's open our video file that we made transferred from your camera to your computer so let's open that I put it on my desktop right there and again I'm behind my camera so let's open my video file and there it is so we're going to drag that down to video and now that and this this little slider here this is you know expands basically uh-oh magnifier so there's our video now you're gonna want to load your audio the wav file that you made in your DAW so let's go up here and it's right there so let's load that open and now you can hear that playing so we'll move that down into our audio little bit of volume there [Music] pause you can pause it right there pause rewind fast-forward so now we need to sync these two so let's give ourselves a little more room to see and the little spike that we made you can go along the timeline here you can pause you can sorry mute the audio and you can play along until you hear there's our little spike right and now on the audio it should be right there there it is so you want to you want to sync that little bump right there with this one right here so let's move that over there get those sync right together and then you can kind of see everything starting to line up here right and so you can get that to the where your video is so they're equal your audio and your video and then right click on your video split at playhead and then you want to highlight this part here and remove it if you just you can do it this way remove right click remove but it will cause your timeline to shift this way it'll remove it this little guy here lifts it's called just removes it without moving this now you can move everything over and you you should be pretty close to synced so go to here at the start of your timeline and then go up to play [Music] remember this video I was doing the second attire part and I look pretty sink there [Music] all right so we're gonna stop there and so we're pretty well synced so you want to get rid of this little test bump that you use for your timing so just go past it right click on both of these split at playhead right click on your audio split at playhead since these are both already synced together you can remove both of those by right clicking remove right click remove it'll they'll shift both left but they'll both shift the same amount of distance and if you want to do a little fade in you go up to the top left-hand corner here and you can pull that little circle over you know 1 second 2 seconds 3 seconds so let's go to 2nd fade in 2 second fade in on both 2 second fade in go back to the beginning of your Timeline press play see what looks like there we go [Music] now I'm gonna pass that there if you often see sometimes you have picture in pictures so if I wanted to videotape myself doing the sect the first guitar part I could do that and I could put it up here in the corner I could add another video track I could go over to the timeline add video track there I have a new video track I would open it it would come up in this window I would drag it down into the video track and once it's in there then I could go into filters over here and I could add filters I don't have anything there but let's go down to this one and I could go into filters add a filter and I could go into size and position and then I could you know I could do this basically and then I could move it to a different area of the screen see that so I would have my original below and then I would have this one above it and then I could move it up into the corner but we're gonna get rid of that because we don't really want it and so now you're gonna want to render this video if you're happy with it so let's get to where we are [Music] and let's stop there so scroll over to where we are right click split at playhead remove and remove this one on the right do the same with the audio split up playhead remove and then you might want to do a little bit of the fade-out let's say that out two seconds go to our video fade that out two seconds and then get rid of this track that we're not using right click remove track and now our our synced video is made so you're going to want to go to export you're going to want to export this video you can also go in and do like lots of filters right so you got your window here you can go up here and there's all kinds of different filters that you can use fade in fade out gain you can increase the gain if it's not loud enough rotate and scale which I'm starting to learn about you can add text there's video filters you know sepia and old filmed scratches and and lots of stuff to play with and then there's audio filters as well bass treble bandpass delay things like that I don't use those very much and so like I said now you want to go to export and you're gonna want to go to advanced and you're going to want to know what the frames per second you used when you first recorded your video I usually I'm at 24 frames per second you do not want to export and render your video to a higher framerate then you made the video or you're going to get choppiness because it's going to start filling in the gaps of the frames it's gonna start filling in frames with nothing to get to your higher framerate so I learned that the hard way so you're going to want to go frames per second rate in here go to 2397 because that's usually what i record with on my camera leave this resolution is fine aspect six and nine but whatever you record if you record in 60 frames per second you want to go into advanced right here in this export window and change that to you know if you record in 60 frames per second rendered in 60 if you record in 2397 rendered in 2397 so we're going to export this file export will call it whipping post and my camera again sorry about this and we're going to save it to our desktop save and now it's rendering up in the top right hand corner up here this is a very short it's only 20 25 30 seconds this will take about 30 seconds to render if you've got a five or six minute video that'll take you know maybe 15 20 minutes depending on the speed of your computer so this is nearly rendered 24 more seconds and wait for video editing you want a fairly fast computer you know this is a high-end laptop that I use it's it's older it's like six seven years old but it was a very expensive laptop when it was new and it's quite fast and you know not as fast as the newer laptops out today but so that's done a little check mark video editing is very CPU intensive so let's get rid of that minimize and there's our video right there so we'll open VLC and then we'll go have a look at it open file go to our desktop whipping post or there open [Music] and it looks good and and then we're done uh so anyway that's it that's start to finish what this video is probably wouldn't hour long but a lot to cover and like I said the sound that you're hearing right now is the sound coming out of my studio monitors into a microphone so it's not the true the true sound of this video I didn't spend a whole lot of time mixing and whatnot but you get the idea and I will amend the this little 30-second video with the proper sound to the end of this video and you can hear actually how it does sound not through a microphone and a speaker in front of it so that's it and I certainly hope I helped you out with that and you know it was it was comprehensive how to make a video from start to finish but I didn't get into a whole lot of details about everything you can learn that on your own but this is a good start and that's how it's done so you guys take care of yourselves and we'll see you next time [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
