1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:00,990
All right, guys.

2
00:00:01,010 --> 00:00:06,240
So now and talk about why editing software is super crucial for content creators.

3
00:00:06,270 --> 00:00:10,230
I don't care if you're creating courses, if you're creating YouTube videos, whatever it is that you're

4
00:00:10,230 --> 00:00:15,510
creating, it's super important and it's super crucial for content creators for this reason.

5
00:00:15,810 --> 00:00:19,040
First and foremost, it allows you to go in and kind of perfecta your video.

6
00:00:19,050 --> 00:00:24,330
So a lot of times when I used to update videos or not update, when I used to upload videos, you know,

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,330
I would just upload the entire raw video file that I recorded.

8
00:00:27,540 --> 00:00:32,280
The reason being is I didn't understand how to actually go through and edit and cut certain things out.

9
00:00:32,490 --> 00:00:35,910
I also didn't understand, like the beginning, how to cut out beginning videos.

10
00:00:35,970 --> 00:00:39,000
So I you'd see, like, OBSS, you literally see me recording.

11
00:00:39,210 --> 00:00:40,650
This is the software that I used to record.

12
00:00:40,650 --> 00:00:41,520
It's 11 percent free.

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,990
And I absolutely love it.

14
00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:47,670
Now I've paid softwares, but, you know, I find that this is actually one of the best recording softwares

15
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:48,060
out there.

16
00:00:48,270 --> 00:00:50,340
But in the beginning, you would literally see me hit record.

17
00:00:50,510 --> 00:00:51,390
Then I'd minimize it.

18
00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:52,530
And then I'd start talking.

19
00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:54,030
And that just looked terrible.

20
00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:57,660
And then at the end, you would see me go through and you see, oh, stop recording.

21
00:00:57,690 --> 00:00:59,400
And I would also look terrible.

22
00:00:59,420 --> 00:01:00,660
You have to be able to cut those things out.

23
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:02,470
And that is super basic.

24
00:01:02,490 --> 00:01:06,120
When you're talking about editing software, especially with Premier Pro, but that's where you want

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:06,570
to start.

26
00:01:06,930 --> 00:01:11,470
More importantly, if you mess up, for example, if I were to stutter or something or, you know,

27
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:13,770
lose my train of thought about what I'm talking about.

28
00:01:13,980 --> 00:01:15,740
And I was thinking, oh, I wanted to.

29
00:01:17,610 --> 00:01:18,840
And I just lost my train of thought.

30
00:01:18,890 --> 00:01:19,680
Didn't know what to say.

31
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:24,600
Well, normally in the past I would just that would just completely be in there and I would lose my

32
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,410
viewers attention.

33
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,640
That's crucial on you to me.

34
00:01:26,850 --> 00:01:27,840
It's crucial in Skillshare.

35
00:01:28,020 --> 00:01:29,000
It's crucial on YouTube.

36
00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:31,520
It's literally crucial anywhere, any place, any time.

37
00:01:31,890 --> 00:01:36,360
Even Instagram, if you're clipping videos for Instagram or whatever, you don't want to lose your audience's

38
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,090
attention because audience retention is important.

39
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:41,440
So audience attention and retention is what I basically said.

40
00:01:41,460 --> 00:01:42,270
They sound very similar.

41
00:01:42,510 --> 00:01:47,610
You don't want to lose the audience's attention by hurting your audience retention and watch time is

42
00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:50,360
crucial on you Udemy videos and you horses.

43
00:01:50,670 --> 00:01:52,500
It's also crucial on YouTube.

44
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:56,910
And the last thing that you want to do is lose somebodies attention, not on the merit of your actual

45
00:01:56,910 --> 00:01:59,400
content or what you're actually saying and presenting to them.

46
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,980
But because you stuttered or you lost your train of thought.

47
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:04,050
And if I did that now, you would be.

48
00:02:04,050 --> 00:02:05,040
No, none the wiser.

49
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,700
Because what I would do is I would edit that out in the software, like premier pro, like I'm a show

50
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:09,720
you in this course.

51
00:02:09,870 --> 00:02:14,970
So basically, the whole reason and the whole weight reason I'm tying this into this is because it gives

52
00:02:14,970 --> 00:02:19,470
you the creative freedom to go out there and hit record, especially if you're new, especially if you're

53
00:02:19,470 --> 00:02:20,280
uncomfortable with it.

54
00:02:20,490 --> 00:02:22,140
And you think, what if I mess up?

55
00:02:22,170 --> 00:02:23,130
What if I look stupid?

56
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,020
What if I don't like the way it looks?

57
00:02:25,230 --> 00:02:29,820
What gives you the creative freedom to go ahead and record with the full heartedly knowing that you

58
00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:31,920
can go back and edit something out if you don't like it?

59
00:02:31,950 --> 00:02:32,940
You don't have to post it.

60
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,620
You can go ahead and basically create a final cut.

61
00:02:35,660 --> 00:02:37,170
A final product after that.

62
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:39,300
You don't have to just give the raw video.

63
00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:44,610
So I had so much trepidation and so much worry initially when I first started posting things and I had

64
00:02:44,610 --> 00:02:46,310
to get over that fear and just click post.

65
00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:48,210
Even though I knew the videos were terrible.

66
00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:50,440
And that's, you know, there's something to be said about that.

67
00:02:50,610 --> 00:02:52,140
But now you don't have to do that now.

68
00:02:52,170 --> 00:02:53,060
I don't have to do that.

69
00:02:53,070 --> 00:02:58,020
And after you take this course, you won't either, because you can just edit those little things out.

70
00:02:58,110 --> 00:02:59,340
You can edit little stutters out.

71
00:02:59,340 --> 00:03:00,780
You can edit little, you know, little.

72
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,220
Like that out.

73
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,130
If I were to forget something or, you know, a little pause, you just edit those things out so that

74
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,220
other people don't realize that they're in there.

75
00:03:10,580 --> 00:03:11,910
Furthermore, you don't.

76
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,310
One thing that is important in this course is everybody that's watching this course is going to be in

77
00:03:16,310 --> 00:03:17,030
a different place.

78
00:03:17,060 --> 00:03:20,750
If you're watching this course, I'm assuming that the majority of you don't have that much experience

79
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:23,420
with either editing software or premier pro in general.

80
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,520
If you're more advanced, then more power to you.

81
00:03:25,730 --> 00:03:29,810
The key here that I want to say is if you're starting from, you know, a beginner perspective or even

82
00:03:29,810 --> 00:03:33,800
a moderate perspective, you don't have to master everything at once.

83
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:35,180
I didn't learn this overnight.

84
00:03:35,210 --> 00:03:39,560
I didn't take some, you know, tutorial course and just master premier pro right away.

85
00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:40,640
It wasn't like that.

86
00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:45,110
I learned all this over two years, basically of editing content and kind of going through the motions.

87
00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:48,980
So the key thing here is a lot of these lectures that we're gonna touch on and a lot of these, you

88
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:53,030
know, kind of topics that were gonna touch on and things that I'll add onto the course as well, you

89
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:55,070
know, are just like I said, and I've hit it home.

90
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,750
They're just tools in your tool belt.

91
00:03:56,990 --> 00:03:59,090
They're skills that you can potentially adds your arsenal.

92
00:03:59,270 --> 00:04:01,220
You don't have to master everything overnight.

93
00:04:01,430 --> 00:04:03,410
You don't have to master it all at once.

94
00:04:03,590 --> 00:04:07,490
Well, you do want to understand is, you know, the cutting the editing basics that we're gonna touch

95
00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:11,990
on and then, you know, come back to the course if you need to and add certain things and play around

96
00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:12,260
with them.

97
00:04:12,530 --> 00:04:15,110
The key thing I want you to touch on is a don't off to master it.

98
00:04:15,140 --> 00:04:16,810
Like I said, but be you.

99
00:04:16,910 --> 00:04:18,260
You'll learn more doing it.

100
00:04:18,290 --> 00:04:19,520
So watch the course.

101
00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:20,690
Learn everything in the course.

102
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,320
You know, watch it.

103
00:04:21,390 --> 00:04:25,640
Familiarize yourself with different techniques, especially the cutting, which is pretty much just

104
00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:27,710
the Maten, just editing one to one.

105
00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:31,220
But then, you know, you'll try to implement them yourself.

106
00:04:31,250 --> 00:04:33,860
So go on, edit a video and try to implement some things.

107
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:37,520
You will learn more doing it than you will watching this course.

108
00:04:37,550 --> 00:04:40,460
So definitely watching the course is important, but go out there and do it.

109
00:04:40,490 --> 00:04:44,810
The more you do it, the more you implement these things in your own editing software on your own computer.

110
00:04:45,020 --> 00:04:47,900
And you go through the process and actually pump out video content.

111
00:04:48,110 --> 00:04:51,320
That's cut the better you'll get at it in the long run.

112
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:53,720
So I wanted to touch on that because that's very, very important.

113
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,070
I don't want people to feel overwhelmed if, you know, the very first time I ever saw editing software

114
00:04:58,340 --> 00:05:03,440
and I basically saw, you know, like a bunch of an edit built out with, like a bunch of different

115
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:03,880
tracks.

116
00:05:03,890 --> 00:05:06,860
And that's something we'll talk about here in this course as well.

117
00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:08,420
It was overwhelming for me.

118
00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:10,190
And I literally thought, what is that?

119
00:05:10,190 --> 00:05:12,050
That looks like, you know, foreign language to me.

120
00:05:12,140 --> 00:05:14,060
I will never be able to do that.

121
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:15,860
And it was very overwhelming.

122
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:19,310
And one thing that I won't touch on is you have to understand all that at once.

123
00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:23,810
You once you get a little bit more advanced, you start realizing just how easy that actually is to

124
00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:24,140
do.

125
00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:27,110
But if it overwhelms you, just take it one step at a time.

126
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:32,660
Master one lecture and one technique and then move on to the other one and just learn by doing guys

127
00:05:32,660 --> 00:05:36,450
take the action, start getting in there and editing things yourself.
