Hey guys, welcome back to day 15. It's Grant Thompson here and today, we're
going to be getting into editing because if you did your homework last night, you've
put a video together and you're probably wondering now how to cut it into a
proper video. Now, if you just do a one take selfie on your phone that's one
thing but if you want to cut it up and make it look professional, it's a whole
different ballgame. So in this video, I'm going to walk you through step by step
how to make a very simple video using an editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro.
Now to get started I just got an iPhone here. I'm just going to hit record and just
record a very terrible video. But this is just proof of concept. I just want to
show you how it works here. So, I don't even know what I'm going to say. We'll
just get this thing recording and now this recording could just be, "What's up
guys, Grant Thompson here with Self Made. I could stop there for a second and then
I might want to get some B-roll. So unfortunately, this is filming in
mirror-image, it's reversed. But we'll just try and make it work. What I mean by
B-roll? It will make sense a little bit later here as we start editing. This is
just a test video to show you what it's like to edit together a very simple
video. And you can see everything's rolling and I'm recording, but I don't
have to worry about the pauses in between because that's going to be edited
out later. Do you remember this little microphone that we talked about before?
In fact, I'm just going to get a shot of that really quick.
Do you remember this little microphone that we talked about before? I want to show
you the difference of what it sounds like if we plug the microphone in. I want
to show you the difference of what it sounds like if we record a video with no
microphone and the difference in quality it makes if we plug the microphone in.
Now, that I've recorded that, I'm just going to say the same thing again and in
the editing we can splice that together. So, you can see I'll loop the mic up
through here. So it's virtually seamless. Since this is still recording, we can
just go ahead and plug that right into the jack. I want to show you the
difference of what it sounds like if we record a video with no microphone
whatsoever and the difference in quality you hear if we plug the microphone in.
And there you have a guy's. A very simple edit. Hope you learn something new. We'll
see you in the next video. Talk to you then. Now, that video has just been
recorded. I'm going to send that through Airdrop to the MacBook and we're going to
start editing. So, you just got this video recorded. It's not very good, you saw me
do it right? But the thing is we can clean it up very quickly using a video
editing software. There's a lot of different software's you could use. I
started out using Windows Movie Maker just on my Windows laptop. I now use an
iMac. With iMac, there's a lot of different options you can use like Final Cut
Pro which is a really great one. You could just use iMovie. I use Adobe
Premiere Pro and that's we're going to be working with here today because
that's what I'm familiar with. But first, we need to get this video into the
computer and the way we do that is we just hit the little share button and
it's going to give us an option to use Airdrop. Airdrop is something that Mac
can use to talk to each other so we can send the file from this phone to this
computer and we'll do that now. So, I just enabled airdrop. It says it's receiving
the video and boom! There we go. I can go ahead and open it or I can locate it. We
successfully got the file onto the computer now we're going to open it up in
Adobe Premiere Pro. I like to do that just by right-clicking on the video and
clicking on Premiere Pro. Now, we use Premiere Pro Creative Cloud which is a
monthly subscription. I pay about $50 a month and it gives me access to all the
different tools. So you've got editing for videos, we've even got programs like
Adobe Edition so you can edit the audio as well. What I'm going to do for you here
is just a very simple edit. I'm going to open up Premiere Pro and just give you a
very small sample of what it tastes like. It can be very confusing to learn it
first. All we're going to do here is we're just going to click a new project and it's
going to ask us what kind of settings we want. We're going to name this '"Grant's
test video." We can choose the location. I'm just going to put on
Desktop. Then we're going to go ahead and click OK and that's going to open up all
this gray area with nothing in it at all. So, we're going to click file, new, sequence
and we're going to name this sequence, "Main". Well, you see that's going to open up a
timeline on the bottom right and then it's got all this library on the left.
Now, we're just going to go to Grant's test video and since there's nothing here,
we're just going to minimize that screen for a second, go ahead and grab the video
we just made off the iPhone and drag it into the timeline. As we do that it
should come up with a video track on the top and an audio track on the bottom. And
it also says that "This clip doesn't match the sequence settings". And that's
because the sequence settings are made for 1080p and the one that we filmed is
actually 4k. So I'm going to adjust that down to match. We're going to change, we're
going to keep the existing segments first of all. Now, if we right-click on the clip
and scroll down, you can see there's an option to set to frame size and so what
that does is it takes the whole video and sets it to the same frame size here.
Unfortunately, the video doesn't match. I wonder what our sequence settings are. So,
we're going to right click on the sequence which is our main sequence here.
We're going to scroll down until we can see the sequence settings. We can see it's
29.97 frames per second which is what we want. I'm actually going to use the DSLR's
settings and then the frame size, we want 1920 by 1080. Okay, perfect! So, now we got
the right frame size for our sequence settings. We got to go back to our video
clip and we got to set that back to the frame size again, boom. And for some reason
that's still a little bit off. I don't know why.
Alright, cool! There we go, we've got our video resized, we've got a at 1080p on
our sequence settings, now we can go through and start doing some edits.
Here's how we're going to do it, we're going to go right to the beginning, if we use the
plus and minus button, we can zoom in and zoom out on the timeline. You're going to go
right to the beginning here and if I press the spacebar, it'll start playing.
"And now it's recording could just be, what's up guys, Grant Thompson here with
Self Made." Cool, so I didn't like that first part because it was just empty
space. So, I'm actually going to zoom into that and I'm going to cut it. If we use the
C button, it'll make a cutting tool. So, if we go ahead and cut that
then we hit V, we can highlight the first part and delete it. So, we've cut off
everything in the beginning now. "What's up guys, Grant Thompson here with
Self Made." And you can see I stopped talking there so I'm going to cut that
again with the C tool and it would select that play. Now, if
you want to go faster, if you want to scrub through this faster, you can press
the L button and it'll go for double speed, triple speed and if you press the
J button you can go backwards. So, right here, I'm going to get this shot of my shirt.
We're going to cut that out and just use that as some potential footage. I'm also
going to cut off the audio track there so that we just have this shot of the shirt
all by itself. Alright, so, if we zoom in here, you can see I start talking. What's
cool is if you look at the audio track, you can actually see where you start
talking because there's little ripples on the bottom. So, I want to select just
before that starts talking. Now, quick cutting tool, I uses the letter Q. If I
use Q it shortens everything right up and really speeds things along. So, those
are a little editing hacks that I use. If you have a mouse, you can just like click
and cut but the buttons I use the most are C for cutting the footage, V for clicking
on and moving around the footage and the L, K and J button for going forward and
backward in the footage. There's a shot of the microphone that we can use for
B-roll as well. Now, B-roll is anything where we're not talking. It's just like
supplemental footage and I like to take that and just bump it up one layer on
the timeline. And by layer, you know, you can see that you can actually add
multiple video layers to this. Which gives you the ability to overlay text
overlay graphics and add a lot of elements to your video. I'm just doing it
very simply with my shirt and my microphone just to give you kind of
concept of how it works. Now it's interesting about this, is the audio is
actually out of sync with the video, they're not lined up but you can adjust
the tracks independently. If you go up here to where there's an
arrow clicking on these two tracks and deselect it, you can move these tracks
independently. So, if I select the bottom layer and use the Y tool, if I press Y, I
could slide that track one way or the other. If I do this here, you can actually
see it's going to or three, four frames this way. And if we test it to see how it
looks. "We record a video with no microph." It still sounds really off. So, if we go back
to the other way, six frames, "We record a video with no
microphone." It sounds even more off. So, we have to find just a happy medium where
it lines up. So, that was an interesting phenomenon that we weren't expecting. But
the microphone audio is actually about three frames off of the video which we
didn't realize until we got it into the editor. And that's something that you're
going to notice if you edit your videos, is there's always going to be minor
glitches or tweaks or things that you have to correct. They're constantly
happening. You just have to find ways around them. But now that we've got that,
we're going splice that clip together, so, you can hear what it sounds like without
the microphone and with the microphone. "So, ever and the difference in... We record a
video with no microphone... And the difference in quality." Alright, cool! So,
we got a basic video. Now, we're going to do is they're going take all these pieces,
we're going to splice them together. We can do that by using our V tool and
deleting all the spaces. "What's up... What's up guys, Grant Thompson here with
Self Made. I'm just going to get a shot of..." Oh now, this clip here, you can see I
actually deleted the audio by mistake but if I press the F key, if I click on
it and press F, there's a little audio track here and I can grab that and I can
drag it back down and if I'm lucky, it'll bring my audio back. So, go to that one.
We'll click on that, hit F, brings up the audio, we can drag that back down. So, if
you accidentally delete your audio, it's not a big deal. "This is just a test video
to show you what it's like to edit together a very simple video. I'm
just going get a shot of that really quick. I want to show you the difference
of what it sounds like...." Now, what you mean by a B-roll is using
those supplemental clips. We can overlay those on top of the lower track. So, the
shot I got on my shirt when I'm talking about Self Made, I'll bring that in. So, it
gives a little bit of supplemental video footage talking about Self Made. "It's
Grant Thompson here with Self Made." Man, that microphone sure makes a big
difference, doesn't it? In fact, I almost have to drop the volume on it because it was
so loud. We can do that very easily as well just by going to the lower audio
track. If you drag that audio track down to
expand it, you can see there's a line running through it. If we grab that line,
we can lower it or raise it to whatever we want it to be. "Here if we plug the
microphone in. And there you have the guys, a very simple edit. I hope you
learn something new. We'll see in the next video.
We'll talk to you then." Alright, and that is pretty much it. If we play that whole thing through,
we've got our first video. "What's up guys, Grant Thompson here with Self Made. This
is just a test video to show you what it's like to edit together a very simple
video. In fact, I'm just going to get a shot of that really quick. I want to show you the
difference of what it sounds like if we record a video with no microphone and
the difference in quality you hear if we plug the microphone in. And there you
have a guys, a very simple edit. I hope you learn something new. We'll see you in
the next video. We'll talk to you then." Cool. And then as my
fingers come out, we won't actually just stop the video right when it hits the
screen so we can find the frame where my fingers hit, boom. And then we can just
cut the rest of it. Now, if we take that video and set an out point. Oh, we don't
even need that. Let's get rid of that. We're going to do now on the timeline, we've
got our video. We're just going to render this out. Rendering means we're going to
take all those editing effects that we've done and we're going to smash them
into one finished video. We're going to take out all the different layers and make
one video ready to upload. We do that by going file, export, media. Now, we're going to
change the output name and the location. We're going to call this test video. It's
going to go to the desktop. And then I like to is to adjust the settings here. From
the format, I like to use h.264 matching the source with high bit rate and then
scrolling down here VBR1 pass with a target bit rate of 15 and a maximum of 20.
At that point you can either cue it up to render if you have more stuff to work
on or we can just go ahead and export it. Since this is such a short simple video,
we're just going to hit export and you can see it's going to take about 45 seconds to
finish this video out. So our test video is finished, let's take a look. We can
double click on it and hit play. "What's up guys, Grant Thompson here with
Self Made. This is just a test video to show you what it's like to edit together
a very simple video. In fact, I'm just going to get a shot of that really quick. I
want to show you the difference of what it sounds like if we record a video with
no microphone and the difference in quality you hear if we plug the
microphone in. And there you have a guys, a very
edit. I hope you learn something new. We'll see in the next video. We'll talk to you then.
Perfect! So, you can see how we took like a long terrible video that we shot
on an iPhone and edited together to make a relatively watchable video. Now, we just
need to upload that to YouTube and you can do that by going to your YouTube
page. On the top right corner you see an arrow pointing up, So, we're going to click
that and then once that opens up the upload page, we're going to find our file on
computer, we're going to drag it over and drop it and it will begin uploading. A
few seconds later, it'll be up and available on YouTube. And then all you
need to do is repeat that process again and again and again and try and make
your videos better and try and make your YouTube page better and do that for the
next five years. So, guys day 15 and homework assignment is to edit your
first video. Get your hands on some editing software. I don't care what it is
if it's a free version or if it's Premiere Pro. You saw me use Premiere Pro,
there's a little bit of learning curve but it's what a lot of professionals use.
So, record a simple video. Just get a little bit of experience cutting your
video, putting it together and having fun with it and we'll see you tomorrow.
