Together, we'll explore how to choose the right channel form, write viral scripts using AI and edit fast with premiere pro and after effects. You'll create a complete faceless video, ready to publish and set up your channel from start to finish. I share my own resources like templates, shortcuts, and tools to speed up your process and make things easier. I learned the system directly from someone whose faceless YouTube channel reached 3.7 billion views in less than a year and generated hundreds of thousands of dollars. Through special access to him and his team, I was able to study the exact process to use and apply it to myself. Using that same system, I launched a brand new YouTube channel on January 1 and crossed 100,000 views in just nine days. Recommend watching videos in order because every lesson builds into the previous one. You can also control the volume and the playback speed of every video to learn at your own pace.

I'm genuinely excited to help create powerful faceless videos and set up a YouTube channel that actually grows, even if you never show your face. Let's jump into the first lesson. 2. Short-Form vs Long-Form YouTube: Views, Revenue & Effort Explained: Welcome. In this video, let's explore the difference between the YouTube, YouTube long forms, and make a decision which one you want to go for. Probably one of the most important questions when it comes to YouTube shorts and long form is the difference between the pay. So as we can see on the screen, for shorts, the CPM basically costs per meal or how much the advertisers are willing to pay per 1,000 views. For shorts, it's 1-10 cents, and for Long long form, it's anywhere from $1 to 30 plus dollar. And, I mean, this number fluctuates a little bit as well. So these numbers be a little bit higher depending on the niche because if we're talking about, like, finance niche, that can be a little bit higher, but we can see the difference. The difference is like 100 times. And this is very, very important. Obviously, you don't want to do your Faceless YouTube channel for free. You want to make sure you can monetize that. And so this is a very important decision you have to make. Now, the difference between long form and short form is also in how hard it is to create those videos. Obviously, for shorts, just because the nature of the shorts is the videos are a lot shorter, so those videos are a lot easier to make. For long forms, it's definitely a lot harder to make. It takes a lot more time, a lot more planning, and you can produce a lot less long form videos. But once again, the pay for those is a lot higher. It's like 100 times as much. Becomes, what should you go for? I would say that you should go for whatever you already watch. So if you enjoy short form a little bit more, then you should probably explore that. Or if you enjoy long forms, you should explore that. And the great thing about the Faceless channels is that you can try it out for a week, for a month, maybe a couple of months, see if you like it or not. And if you don't, Go ahead and just change it, change the format. For example, I experimented with many, many different faceless channels. The very first one was about a faceless channel, which was long form, but it had barely any visuals, where I just had to put a lot of audio pieces together. I didn't quite like it. It was quite boring, creating that. And then I wanted to short form, where I thought it would be a lot more interesting. Experimented with lots of different styles there, and eventually, I just decided to go for long form. Potentially, I will switch to short form again in the future. But at this very moment, I'm doing the long form. I say that with shorts, it's a lot easier to get started and to stop because long forms they require a lot more time and a lot more effort. And for shorts, let's say you tried IVD once, you don't like the process. Okay, you just stop. But it takes you, let's say, ten times less the amount of effort and time than it does for the long forms. So a task for you right now is to make a decision. Where do you want to go? You feel like you're not sure, just pick one. Doesn't really matter. If you don't know anything at all about this, then go with shorts. It's just going to be a lot easier to get started to get a little bit of practicing. Then once you understand a couple of things, it will be easier for you to make a decision. So just kind of pick a general idea of what you like more, choose that, and then we'll go into the next video where we will go even deeper. See there. 3. Best Faceless YouTube Niches: Health, Gaming, Sports & More: Now that we've made the decision to go with YouTube shorts or YouTube long forms, let's decide about the category. There are different categories, for example, let's take a look at the screen. We have news, gaming, flog, beauty makeup, challenges, cooking, education, animation, DIY projects, fitness, interviews, VR and boxing, product reviews, and so on. There are more categories and it depends on the website that you check it on. Overall, these are the main categories that we should choose. Categories are a little bit bigger. So categories are a little bit smaller. You shouldn't go for a category just for the sake of use just because the category is popular, you shouldn't go for that category. You should go for a category that you can relate to that you will find interesting or maybe you have a little bit of experience in that category. Whatever feels like your niche, you should go there. If you already have something in mind, go ahead and choose whatever option you have a bit of a struggle deciding what category you should go for, then if you have some sort of experience or you watch some sort of content, go ahead and choose that. If you just are starting from zero from nothing, you don't watch any content, then probably Facebook YouTube channel is not going to be the very best business for you. But if you have a bit of experience or you like some sort of content, go ahead and explore those categories. You should definitely spend some time thinking about this, but don't let the step stop you. Like, you need to decide just whatever field you'll be going towards, and then that's it, because in the next videos we'll explore this even deeper. Important aspect is for you to put this information on a piece of paper or somewhere in the notes, let's say, on laptop. Just make sure to have a short form or a long form your decision and then a category of what kind of content you'll be creating videos about. Although I do recommend putting something on a piece of paper, there's just something very real about this. Once you have done that, I will see you in the next video. 4. How to Find Viral Competitors & Channel Formats (Incognito Method): Now that you know whether you're going to do a short form or a long form video, you know, the category, roughly that you're going to do, let's explore the different formats. So we have categories, which is what the video is about, and then we have different formats. Formats is just how this information is presented. There's the same information that can be presented in all sorts of different ways. So that can be AI videos, that can be two DVDs, three D videos, that can be talking head videos. There are many, many, many, many, many different formats. I'd like to give you a couple of examples. So, for example, this is the Deo Globe Tales. This is the channel that I got inspired by, and I tried to take their videos and upgrade their videos, creating the map animations. Now, the way I found this channel is literally in search. And this is a good example of a short form content. In terms of the short firm content, we can also do like Zac D films. So let's search for them. Zack D. If you don't know this channel, get to know the channel. This channel is one of the most popular channels ever that generated 660 billion views. That's a lot, a lot of views. So their videos got hundreds and millions of views you can see on the screen. And for example, this Apes Thetis, or I'm not sure how to pronounce this channel, but this is not a faceless channel that if we take a look here, if we click on more, this channel got 5 million views minus one shorts, which got 14,000 views. But for long prom content, this channel is getting a very good amount of views. And if we use an average CPM or RPM, of, let's say, RPM of $4, so we need to do four times 5000000/1000. So this channel, with an average RPM of $4 generated roughly 20,000 views. And if we come here and see how many views this channel generated billion views, HTPT, how much would the channel generate with 1.1 billion views with average RPM of $0.04 on YouTube? So this channel, Geo globe Tales generated $44,000, roughly. I don't know about the exact numbers because I don't know their CPM RPM, things like that, but we can roughly understand these channels generate these kind of results. You need to find your own competitors in your own niche. And for example, let's say you do sports. Like, for example, like what this channel does, it's about sports like where the app explains how to do, physical activities and how to build muscles, how to get a girl phone, things like that. So I would search for sport. Literally just search for sport on YouTube. And here you just need to search for all sorts of different channels, and you can search both for short form, long form. And what can help, what can really help is by going into the top and going into filters, and then you can search for just shorts or videos. So let's do shorts, and we can try to find faceless content. Although I will say that for faceless content, Zag Di films would be a really, really good example. Let's take a look at this channel. Wise two wheels. Okay, interesting. So let's take a look at what they have 17 million views from 19 videos. Interesting results. Okay, so it's not necessarily sports, but as you can see, we found one of the videos this way. Then we can do the same thing, for example, for the maps. The way I found these videos is I just search for maps, and there you go. That's one of the videos, there you go. That's another one. This is another one. This is probably another one, as well. And it's a good idea to create a list of all competitors in terms of the category and in terms of different form. So if we were to do it on YouTube, we would do it here. We can also search for sport faceless YouTube channels. Okay, so this is a Faceless channel. As you SR, just search for sport Faceless YouTube channel, found one of the websites, clicked on it, and here we have six faceless YouTube channels. These YouTube channels do different things as we can see. So we can open these channels to see what they do to see what kind of views they have. We can kind of tell that they have special formats. For example, you can definitely tell that for thumbnails, they have three different pictures of the same person, so one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. This is kind of their format. We can search their format in terms of the kind of videos that they create in terms of the editing in terms of the titles. That would all be different formats. Or we can go ahead and ask GPT about this. Pay HIGPT. I need you to give me a list of ten different faceless YouTube channels about sport. And let's see what they come up with. Okay. Here's one. LG highlights. They're probably doing shorts, mostly. Okay, so they potentially stopped doing this channel. Take a look at this one, multiversity, three days ago. Okay. So we have a little bit of something here. This probably more about motivation than sport, but in anyway, this is something else. This is in addition to the original video on how to find formats. What you need to do is to open an incognito mode on your browser. Doesn't matter what browser you use. So let's open and let's go to YouTube. And you'll notice that when you go to YouTube in Incognito mode, you have to search for something, and then YouTube P will start recommending you that. Well, this is the super powerful tool that we're going to use because we can search for a specific category of content, and then based on that, YouTube Pull recommend this content that performs really well. That's recent, and based on that, we can find different formats. So, for example, let's search for history, and let's just scroll a little bit, by the way, AI videos right away. So first of all, let's see if there's anything interesting here. Okay, so this is a faceless channel, a completely faceless YouTube channel, which is interesting, fun history. Yeah, another faceless channel. Take a look. Let's see. Hat history. Interesting. Another channel. Very interesting format that gets very good amount of use. Something else. Okay, AI generated content. We just watched a little bit of a video. Let's go to YouTube homepage, and there we go. We'll be recommended a lot of stuff. So a couple of things you can do. You can just go to Incognito Mode, or you can create a channel that's going to or yeah, like, create a not necessarily channel, but like a YouTube account. From where you will search for specific topics and issues. Let's say, I know that Thomas from ST he does that because I did a cohort with him, and he explained that this is the system that he used in order to find kind of ideas for his videos. But anyway, there you go. We have lots of geo fats, for example, another fit this channel. Perfect. Although they stopped posting recently. Okay, you get the idea. You have different ways of searching different formats. For this, I do recommend you spending good amount of time searching for the competitor, searching for all sorts of different formats because once you have all of those, this is the next step that we'll have to do. We'll basically take a format of the competitor. Then we will upgrade it to a format that exists, but a format that's in a different category in a way. And so we will produce content that is new, that is unique, and that doesn't exist on YouTube. And therefore, we know that the format works, we know that the information works, and we just put these two together. To give you an example of what I did with the competitors of the maps for the maps channel, I literally just took their channels and put them in notion. If you don't use notion, it doesn't matter where you have to put it, you can put it in notes, you can put it somewhere in the phone, just make sure to save the URLs to make sure that you can take a look at what they do. So these are the maps competitors. And then if I go ahead, I can just go ahead and open, click and it's ready to be researched. Okay, if you have any questions, let me know. Other than that, I'll see you in the next video. 5. Choose the Best Format for Your Faceless Channel Strategy: Now that we have a list of competitors, let me walk you through the next steps that we will need to take. First of all, we will have this three step process that you see on the screen. We have our format on the left. Then we'll have our own information, basically the category of the YouTube, and then we will have the result. What we want to do is we want to find a format that doesn't have a certain information. Let me give you a couple of examples, and you'll get what I mean. So this was a format which is primate economics, and it was like a monkey explaining things with banana, an unbelievable amount of use, right? Take a look, 1.5 million, 900 K, 1.27, 900 K a ton of use. This is the economics format, right? And then there was a channel that the information is sport. They took the sport information, put it into this format, and it turned out to be Epseics or whatever however you pronounce it. The same we do with Zagti films. This was the original format. These kind of three D blender videos, right? And then there was a channel who came, and the information is war. Everything war related, like army related. And so this channel will see that it has everything related to war. So this is the format, and they just put a new information, like, a new category. And just updated that. Then there's also this Agent floppy, let's take a look. Very good example. Crazy these kind of videos, for example, the worst presidents in American history or every US president's death explained in 21 minutes. They have this very interesting format about like presidents and United States that stuff. And then they took this channel, which is Loony Thorne. They Britanized it. By that, I mean, they turned it into British history instead of American history. And so you can see what kind of results they have, which is just every British monarch death explain 21 minutes. Take a look at this. Like, this and this video, that's basically exactly the same thing. But instead of US, they made it British. And this Nick invests and fastest Fred. So this Nick invests and fastest Fred, very similar thing. It's AI generated character, and here, we're talking about finances, and here we are talking about sport, about weight loss, fasting, things like that. And you can see the results. You can come and check these channels out yourself. Okay, so hopefully by now, you get the idea. We find a format which is unbelievably well. It's doing very well. And then all we have to do is to add a new category to that format or add new information to that format. And by having a proven format and proven information, we just basically create views from nothing. So now that you have your competitors, you can take a look at any of these. You need to select your own format. Obviously, if you think of something even better, while I'm explaining you have some ideas, go ahead and use those ideas. Let me give you a couple of thoughts. So, for example, on YouTube, a big category is cooking, right? But then if we search for this format, which is the ape format, let's search for it, like, for example, AP Cooking. We have none of this. So I think a really good opportunity would be an cooking, for example, this format, although that needs to be a little bit more research just to make sure it works, but I'm pretty sure that can be a really, really big category and a really, really big format because cooking is huge because I watch a lot of cooking. I know, for example, if you search for just cooking, there are huge channels like Max, the Mat guy, then Nick, DiGiovanni, and Gordon Ramsey, these guys, I mean, there's a ton and a ton of people in the cooking space. And now, we know that works, the category gets a lot of views. We know the format gets really good views, and so we can combine those two together. If you can do that, I mean, you'll get an unbelievable amount of use. Okay, so now you have your format and you need to put information, and then this the result, these will be your videos. Now, once you select the format, I will see you in the next video where we will do some magic and create our unbelievably good scripts. I'll see you. 6. How to Transcribe & Upgrade Viral Scripts Using AI: In this video, we will create a script for our very first video. In order to do that, we need to go into one of the examples into the format that we want to replicate, and we need to transcribe this video. There's actually a very easy way to do this. And for this, I will just go to the most popular video to get the most views, and it's actually the latest video, which was posted nine months ago. So I will open this video and then if I go into description, open this up, and then I go into the transcript. Control transcript, and it's going to show the transcript. And technically, you can keep the time samps. But if you want to get rid of them, just click here to toggle the Tsamps. And all you have to do is to select this and literally just press Command C to copy. Then you have a couple of ways to go about this. You can go into Google Docs or you can search for something like text edit on a mac. It doesn't matter at all. All you have to do is just to put the text there and then save it. Let's call it formation, and we need specifically information in the title. And then in the brackets, we can put the name of the video. It's just going to be a little bit easier for us to identify and to go through this process. So I'm going to close this. Now, I actually thought about this would be a very interesting idea to combine monkey with cooking. And one of the examples that we can do is we can use 50 ways to use chocolate or we can choose any other video and then put it into a monkey format. We can search for other stuff, for example, 50 ways to use a watermelon or let's search for something else. Let's see if there are any other great ideas that we can use. Okay, for example, like 50 ways to cook a steak. That sounds like a very interesting idea. So I will open this video and then go into description, show a transcript, exactly the same thing, time sams and then I will just copy everything down. Perfect. I'm going to copy the transcript. Then text, edit, new document, paste this in. So this is the transcript of the text, save. And actually, this needs to be the information. So let's call this one the information and then put the name of the video here. 50 ways to cook a steak, okay? And then let me go to desktop, and this needs to be not information, but format. Reason we're calling this one format and this one information is because we're going to use AI to regenerate the script. We'll give it the format and we'll give it the information, and then it will give us the result. So remember, if we go into notion. So this is format, this is the information, this is the result. So we have the format, the bananas, the information, which is going to be cooking, and then the result which is going to be AB cooking. So these are text files, but many different files can work for HGPT. Specifically, we'll be using ChatGPT you can upload PDF. It doesn't matter, but this format works as well. If you're doing it through Google Docs, then just create a new document and then paste your script here, then go into File, download, and then plain text or PDF, it doesn't really matter. Now, we'll open ChatGPT and then you can use this script that's going to be in the downloadable resources section. Sorry, not script, but the prompt. I'm going to go to HTPT and paste. Go through this together. You are an expert, viral video scriptwriter specializing in high engagement content. Your task transform the information script into a viral short from script by adapting the exact structure, pacing, tone, and storytelling techniques from the format script. So the format script is your structural blueprint. It's attached to this message, and the informational script it's the content to transform. It's also attached. Couple of instructions. Analyze the format script, hook transitions, rhythm, sentence length, emotional bits, and narrative flow. Rewrite the information script to match these patterns precisely, preserve the core message of the information script while adapting it to the format scripts vial mechanics. Sorry, I'm having trouble seeing. That's why I'm not able to. The tone energy level, storytelling devices, questions, cliff hangers, reveals, et cetera. At the end use Rhyme where applicable. I found that when videos rhyme, those videos become just a lot more interesting to watch. Now, all I have to do is to upload these two files here. JDPT is going to analyze both. Perfect. So I'm just going to send it in and then we'll see what results we get with this. So let's take a look. One steak, one pan, life is good. But if Chef gets bored, Chef tries more. Steak and pan, steak and grill, still boring, still chill. Chef says, What if, dishwasher, iron, toaster, fire, laser dryer. Now, steak is rare. Steak is everywhere. When one way equals special, when 50 ways equals mental. Simple ways work, pan, win, grill King, smoke good, sauce white sins. Not sure what that means. But crazy ways rice as ideas multiply Microwave Crist boiled steak dies. Someways rime, someways sin, deep fried fine, iron bean. Okay, this becomes really funny, but you get the idea. Now, you might be wondering, what is this kind of script? Well, it's because if you take a look at these videos of the monkeys, you'll understand what that means because it's just these monkeys speak in this kind of format. Now, of course, you can just go ahead and ask HTPT to customize it even further to make sure it's better or to your taste or whatever, and can work really great. So this is one of the ways to do it. Potentially, it's going to be a little bit better to to use, like, another video because this 50 ways is not 50 ways to just something is probably not the very best thing. Potentially, we should search for something like, mm. How to cook the perfect steak explained by Monkey, something like that. So let's give it a try. I'm going to open this video up and more transcript tocalTsamps, and I'm going to copy. And text edit, new document, paste it in. Save this one is going to be information, how to cook steak. Perfect. So you can see it takes a little bit of time, a little bit of experimentation to see what works best. So I'm going to just go ahead and copy this prompt, paste this in. Okay, these were uploaded and then go. See what it does. It takes the beginning of the video from monkeys. Potentially, we should search for not primate economics, but apsthetics and take one of these videos because these are how to how to get apps explained by. Let's give it a try. Let's take this one. Show transcript. Exactly the same thing. New, safe. This is format. Okay, and I'm going to upload the last two. So how to cook a perfect steak and how to get apps. I think this one should be really, really good in terms of the script. The script has viral potential. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook bad steak, monkey cry. Why? Because monkey, no, no, one word. Balance. Good steak equals two things flavor, texture. Flavor comes from fat. White lines in meat that marbling. Marblin equals more magic. Less marbling. Sat chewing. Monkey, see fancy steak, Wagu. Looks like snow inside meat. Cost like monkeys rent. But monkey don't need rich steak. Monkey needs smart steak. Steak come from cow. Not all cow parts are king, a hero, some are villains. We buy fat, juicy boss. Fillet, soft, but boring, like pillow with no dream. Porta house, two steaks and one. Hard to cook, but fun to flex. Honestly, it feels like a proper style of this video. Because if you take a look at this video, I know for some of you, it might be like, What is this? 620,000 people watch this video in less than a year. If you take a look at other videos, 400,000, 500,000, 1.5 million, and so on. You get the idea. This is a really, really, really good script. Now, once you have this script, we'll need to go even further. Just go ahead and copy the script, and you can put it into a text edit or into Google Docs, or you can put it into Notion, whatever works best for you. In Ocean, you can create a database, and can call this one Video one, and then here, for example, you can add another property which is going to be something like a text. This is not a notion explanation, but you get the idea. Basically, you create another property, which is similar to almost like Excel or Google Sheets. And then here you will have your script just to make sure you keep things organizing, where things are. Once this is done, we'll go into the next video and generate our scripts for free. So see. 7. Generate Natural-Sounding YouTube Narration with AI Voice Tools: Now that we have our script generated, we need to create an audio. And we will be using 11 Labs to do that. With 11 Labs, there's a link in the resources section. If you go there, you will get a 10,000 credit. And with this credit, you'll be able to create a couple of videos for. Our script prepared. You will have your own script, or for practice, you can use this script as well. In the very beginning, we have to go into voices, and we have to find a voice that will work for you. You can find a voice that will be similar to your competitors, or you can find a voice that you want to choose. I will say that. In my experience, I found that people really voices that are easy to understand. I prefer a British voice just because of the pronunciation. I just like the way they pronounce words. If I go into voices, I will search for a British voice, and then I'll just click here and listen. The courage to start is the first step to succeed. Okay, this one is a little bit too serious. Let's listen for something else. The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something. Tonight, we investigate true crime UK, shocking motorway madness and Brits abroad gone rogue. Join me for your next dramatic episode. This is dramatic, but this would actually work pretty well for, like, crimes. And actually, I just had another idea where ape could be like a Sherlock Holmes and an ape that would explain all sorts of crimes solved, potentially a good idea. Welcome to this training course. Hi. I'm Dan. Hello there. I'm a professional British voice, delivering clarity, warmth and versatility. Let my voice fulfill your need. Give it a try today. Mm. This sounds pretty good. All we can do is we can click on add to my voice over here by click on plus, and then it will say that it was added. So you can with the free account, you can add up to three voices. If you want, you can later go into the bottom left corner and then upgrade, for example, like to a starter or to a creator plan. Like that. As you can see, it's not really expensive. So if you want, you can spend $5 and then you'll get a lot more credits or $11. For the first month, get 100,000 credits. We really, really create, like, a lot of different speeches. But anyway, we can go into text to speech. I will go and literally select all of our script and paste it here. You can see our script is 2,352 characters, and the maximum is 5,000 characters. Perfect. So this script is okay. All we have to do is in voices over here, we need to select our voice, which is this one, professional. This is the voice that we chose. We can listen to it. Hello there. I'm a professional British voice. If everything's okay, just click on it. Like so. You can customize it if you want. I found that keeping the original settings is pretty good. And then all we have to do is click on generate speech. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad steak. Monkey cry. Why? Because monkey no no one word. Balance. Good steak equals two things flavor, texture, flavor come from fat, white lines in meat, that marbling. More marbling equals more magic. Less marbling equals sad chewing. Monkey see fancy steak. Wage looks like snow inside meat. Cost like monkeys rent. Let's say we like everything. All we have to do is just click on download here. Or if there are certain parts that sound a little bit off, all you have to do is to click on regenerate speech. And if that doesn't work, you can click on it again. It gives you three attempts to regenerate. And then another thing that you can do is instead of copying the whole script, let's say you can take like a third of the script, copy, paste it in, download. Then do it for the other parts. It doesn't take more credits if you do it this way. If you do the whole script at once, or if you do it partly, it's all the same. Once you are satisfied, just click on Download, and let's open it up. Let's listen. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook bad steak. Perfect. So you can see it's 3 minutes and 4 seconds. And technically, it can be customized, or it might be customized, or if you want, you can customize it or if not, you can just leave it as it is. It really depends on the format that you have to use. But this video, if we were to use Monkey want good steak. This audio would be a video that's 3 minutes long. And if we take a look at the competitors, okay, let's go into an ocean. Let's search for Apsthetics. So these videos are like 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, three, four, three, three, four, four, two, five, three. So once we have that, it would be time to just start editing the video. So this video, I mean, of course, it depends on the length of the video, but this video, in the very beginning, we had 10,000 credits, and now we have 7,648 credits remaining. So technically, we can create overall four videos like this per month because in a month, this number, it will reset, and then you'll have 10,000 credits again. Thing I'll tell you is that if you go into Voices and you search for some sort of, like, special, super great unbelievable voices, although I think the one that we used is one of those, but it's not. It can take extra credits, and then if you use extra credits, you will not be able to create as many videos because it will take more credit. So you can come, you can experiment. You can see this for yourself. I'm just showing you the step by step process on how these videos are created. If you have any questions, let me know. Other than that, let's jump into the next video and start editing. 8. Quickstart Guide to Video Editing in Premiere Pro: Welcome. In this video, let me introduce you to Premiere Pro. And even if you have experience with Premiere, I still recommend to watch this video because I'm going to introduce you in a way where I can pretty much guarantee that you will learn something new. So let's open Premiere. Then let's go into the top left corner and click on New Project. Now, first to choose a location and NMB project. In premiere, people usually use the default folder, which is Adobe Premiere Pro, 25 or 26, whichever one you use, just click there. And then for this one, I'm going to keep it title because later, I'm going to show you how to professionally organize your files to make sure things are just taken to the next level. Go ahead and create I already have a project named like this is going to ask that I want to make sure that I replace it. Yes, I'm going to click and replace. What you have in front of your screen might be slightly different from my screen. The reason for that is because it's workspace, and we can customize workspaces, panel here, panel here, panel here, and panel here. The great thing is that we can move them around, so we can make it smaller, bigger. We can move something, for example, to the bottom if I take this broken window. Click drag to let's say the bottom. It's going to be here at the bottom, and we're not going to have it here at the top, but I'm going to put it back there. It's kind of intuitive. You can see the kind of purple bluish highlight, and whenever you just put something there, just going to put it there. Now, in the top right corner, we have different workspaces here. Depending on type of work you are doing, you can switch between them and you can customize them. If I go into vertical workspace, it looks a lot different. And the reason is because it's just it's a lot more convenient, and I'll show you a couple of ways you can do this in the future. But for now, just remember you can really customize your workspace so that it's very productive and very convenient for you. Now, I'm going to go back into the editing workspace. At some point, you will close one of your program windows. So this is a program window or this is a program window. At some point, you will close one of those, and whenever you close it, just go into Window, and you can see everything that has a checkmark. It means that it is somewhere on the screen here. So if you close it at some point, just go ahead and click on it, and it will reappear. Like, for example, if I want to click on libraries, libraries will appear here, and then I can go ahead and close it and then resize to my liking, whatever you want to do. Whenever you open premiere, it's probably going to look something like this where you will have something like the project files here at left. Maybe it's going to be here at the top. Honestly, at this point, I don't even remember what the origin looks like. But remember, customization is the king In the project panel, it doesn't matter where it's located for you. You need to click on new item and sequence. In Premiere Pro, a sequence is where you edit the video or where you create the video, where you work on the audio, where you create all sorts of effects. And before we create the sequence, we need to set some settings. We need to set resolution. We can set whatever resolution we want, 500 by 500 pixels, or we can make it full HD, HD, we can do it four K it's up to us, whatever we wouldn't do. Now, I do recommend setting 1080 pixels, so it's going to be 1920 by 1080 or 1080 by 1920. Either that or the other way. The reason is because it's going to keep the maximum quality by taking the lowest power of your computer, because if we do four K, that's going to be four times the full G. So it's going to take four times as much power from your computer, and most of the people, they will notice kind of the significant difference. Of course, if you have a super powerful machine, go ahead and use the four K, but just to warn you, that's going to take a lot, significantly a lot more power for your computer, and then editing videos can just become a burden, and you don't want to get to that point. So we have sequence settings, and in terms of the frame rates, obviously, lower frame rates will take less power for your computer because for example, if we take a look at 30 and 60 for 30, it's twice as less than 60. So first of all, it's the power for your computer. Secondly, basically it's how smooth something is on the screen. Example, you're watching this video in 30 frames a second, which means that my movement, whenever I do any sorts of movement, it's not super smooth. But if I was to put it to 60, it would be a lot smoother. We have some presets here that we can click. For example, we can click on this one, or we can go into settings and then set our own parameters. So these are sort of the presets that save time. And if we go into the setting we can set parameters and we can set, for example, set of 29 97 to 30. I do enjoy having round numbers instead of having something like this because it's definitely a lot more confusing. And then when we put things into after effects, it's also going to just make things a lot easier when things are precise. So, 1920 by 1080, now you will notice that there are all sorts of other frame rates, and I will say that if you are going for something specific, you will know if you do not know, you're not going for then just stick to 30 frames a second. And if you're going for something super smooth, you can set it to 60. But for YouTube, what works really well is 30 frames second. So 30 1920 by 1080, and we're going to press on Okay. And we are going to have this horizontal video. Now, for example, I have this file and I can drag it into the project. Literally drag and drop it here. It's going to appear, and then I can drag and drop it into the sequence that we created, and you see that we have our video here. And then whenever I scrap through the timeline, it's going to change here as well. Now, I can go ahead and click on select this video and click on Delete, and it's going to now, I can also delete the sequence, and it's going to disappear from the screen, and I can literally drag and drop this video here and then drag it here. It's going to create sequence. And the sequence that's going to create, it's going to have the same settings, the same parameters as the video. Let's take a look. This video, it is 1920 by 1080. We can see it here, and then I can open the extra settings by pressing Command I mac and we'll see that it cannot see the frame rate here, but let's take a look at what we have in Premiere process. If I go into sequence sequence settings, it's going to be 30 frames a second. Perfect. But if we added the video that was, for example, 20 frames a second or 60, it would create a sequence with those frames per second. Now, let me delete this. And I'm going to go back into the editing workspace because this is definitely a lot more convenient for me. It's super important aspect, and I'll tell you this right away is learning shortcuts. Shortcuts, basically by pressing a certain key, you will create a certain instead of you having to go into, like, for example, here, and then searching for something or, you know, clicking here, then here and it takes so much movement. You can just press one button. It's going to make your life a lot easier. So, for example, you know, instead of going into file new project, I can just press Option Command N, it's going to create new project. Or I can press on Command N, and it's going to create a new sequence. By the way, if you're on Windows, instead of command, you just have to press Control. And I can go ahead and set 30 pres k. So instead of going there, there or I use shortcat somewhere on the screen, and probably roughly in the same space, you will have a list of these tools. These tools will help us to create the video, and you will learn these tools as we're going to use them. I mean, you can go ahead and preview, for example, if you hover over with the cursor, you will see what the tool does, the name of the stool. And then at the end, you will also see shortcat, for example, this is going to be A, and I can just go ahead and click on A, and you will see it just selected it. So and for the cursor, I just have to press V. It's called a selection. When it comes to vertical videos, it's a very similar story. Let me drag that video here. You can see that the sequence that we have is slightly different. So I can go ahead and delete this sequence, and I can go ahead and click on Command N to create a new sequence. And let's put 30 and here 1080 by 1920. Okay, it's going to become vertical, and I'm going to drag and drop a video here. Mm hmm. You're saying that this clip doesn't match the sequence settings. Change the sequence to match the clip settings. We can certainly do that. The reason it's asking is because we have different frame rates. I said 30, but the video is actually 60 frame rates. So I can keep or I can change. And if I change, and I go into sequence settings, which in my case, is Command K. Going to click on it, you will see that just turned to 60 frames per second. Perfect. Now, let me zoom in a little bit by using the slider, so. And actually, let's go into the vertical workspace. By vertical workspace, I mean, I just put this program monitor to the right, and so I just have it big on the screen. It's pretty convenient. Now, in premiere, we have different tracks. At the top, we have video tracks. At the bottom, we have audio tracks. And you can see we have this thicker line that separates the two. So this is the top. This is the bottom. This is audio. This is video. We can create more tracks by just dragging something higher and you can see that the track forge dsappeared. We can move between the tracks by using the slider here or we can do it like so. Now, let's go through the tools very quickly. For example, one of the most used ones is going to be the razor tool, and I'm just going to go ahead and cut something with it. By cutting, I'm then able to move it around. And literally, it's going to be the same pit that stayed here. We'll see that this is the video. It starts with sthly. Then I move it a little bit further. It starts with and suddenly. Perfect. Another useful tool is A. B pressing A, we can select this tool by clicking. I'm going to select everything that's going to be to the right of the tool. Or I can press and shift and select just one track or going to press Shift A, it's going to turn around. And by this, I'm going to select everything that's to the left of the tool. The ripple edit tool is not used that often, so I wouldn't worry about it right now, but you can see that if you click and hold, you will have different options to choose. Now, the slip tool, Little bit hard to explain, but basically, we change the position of the video or the timing of the video, so we have this piece over here, and we can make sure that if I select this tool, I can make sure that we go to the very beginning of the video. So this is the very beginning, and this is the very beginning. It's a little bit hard to explain, but don't worry about it for now. Hand tool is going to be super useful because you can draw something on the screen, you can draw a line, and then we can add a stroke instead of the fill. Make sure it is set to center or the outer or the inner, and you can see that we just created a line. Shape tool is also very useful because we can draw all sorts of shapes. We can set a fill, and we're going to have a shape on the screen. The hand tool, I don't really use as much, but it just allows us to move around, like so or move around over here. And the last tool is the text tool that allows us to create text on the screen. Perfect. If I select something, you'll notice that we have the ex control usually pops up, and we have the properties. The fx control and the properties are sort of similar. But in the effet control, you have these clocks that you can create keyframes with and basically animate something. As you can see in the properties, I mean, you can still create the keyframe, but it's not as convenient as doing here because you cannot move the key frames around here. If I create something, you can see that we cannot see the key frame. But the question is, what is if well, a keyframe is a point, for example, let me move our graphic here, and let's set a keyframe for the position, move a little bit to the front, and then move it to the right by using the position. So by doing that, you will see that over time, we're just basically telling that you go from here. In terms of the position, you go from here to here and it moves from left to right. Now, we can do the same thing with scale. We can set a key frame for scale and then make sure we decreased in size. Boom, there you go. And we can do the same thing with rotation. Now, you will see that we have, for example, the vector motion, we have the video motion. All it is is because this is a graphic, we have, like, graphic properties, and then we have properties of the whole layer. For example, if I select the video that's behind it, we don't have the graphic controls. We only have the motion controls of the layer. But if I select the graphic, you can see we have another graphic. And it means that, yes, we can create another keyframe here and move it a little bit to the front and then move it a little bit to the left, and means that now everything just changed a little bit. And so we can do all sorts of stuff. We can crop it like from the bottom, from the top, things like that. And then whenever we apply any sorts of effects, like I can search for, for example, Gagan blur, for example, something that will allow us to add blur. And I add blur. You can see that our square becomes or the rectangle becomes blur, and then I can actually just keyframe this blur, as well. And it goes now 0-150 like properties, it's sort of similar. If you click on a shape in the properties, it does give you a little bit more, but whenever we're talking about a video, it doesn't give much more than defects control. So if we're talking graphics, we're talking text, then property is going to be super useful. Other than that, don't worry about it. Now, you do have all sorts of different windows and you do have different workspaces. I will say that you don't have to know everything about the software in order to create viral videos. You can do 80% of the work with 20% of the tools, and the last 20% of the tools take 80% of the work. So, what you should focus on is creating videos and not learning every single tool because it's not going to help you. So for that reason, let's jump into the next video and learn about after effects. And after that, I will actually show you how to use all these tools in order to create the video. So if you have any questions, let me know. Other than that, let's jump into the next video. 9. After Effects Essentials for Motion Graphics & YouTube: Welcome. When it comes to after effects it's actually very similar to Premiere Pro. So whenever you open after effects, this is what you have, you'll have a list of your previous projects, and now we'll go into top left corner, create new project. Now in this case, we don't need to put it into specicFolder right away. Whenever, for example, we create something over here, we make some changes, we then pressing Command S. So let's create decomposition. Press Nuka doesn't matter. In this case, we need pressing Command S, and only now it's going to allow us to save it somewhere. And then we would save it in specific folder. But we'll talk about this a little bit later, delete this for now. Welcome to after effects. So as I said, after effect is very similar to premier pro. Instead of sequences, what we have in Premier Pro, and after effects, we have compositions. So we can create new composition by pressing Command N, shortcut or by pressing here, or pressing here. Let's go ahead and press and let's create 1080 by 1920, and let's say 60 frame rates. And what's important here is that whatever settings you put here, it's going to save it. Remember that. And then whenever you create a new composition, it's going to remember these settings all the time. So if I said, right now, it's 27 and 14 milliseconds. That's probably because of the video that I created in the past because I needed to have that link. But let's put 10 seconds and press. So now we created the composition, and you will notice that what we have here, this program monitor, we have exactly the same thing here on the right. This is composition. You will notice that my layout looks very similar. Project here, the properties and things like that over here. This is the timeline, and this is the program monitor. This is the program monitor or in this case, composition. This is the timeline. I have all sorts of effects over here, and this is where I have the project and all the files associated with that. Let's do the same the same video over here, and then I can drag and drop the video here. We'll have exactly the same thing. We have a of tools here at the top. You will notice that they are slightly different from Premiere Pro. Yes, we do not have a tool, something like a CAT tool, for example, because we need to use a specific shortcut to make a cut. In this case, it's going to be command shift D to make a cut, and it's going to cut it in two. You'll notice that after effects works slightly differently to Premiere Pro because in Premiere Pro, we can have multiple things on the same track. But in this case, we don't have tracks. We just have layers. And I cannot put, for example, this video on this level over here, and we cannot put two things on the same layer, pressing command set to undo. And it's a very similar thing where we have window. There you go. These are all the windows that we can create or add. We have different workspace, the top right corner. I can go into horizontal, vertical all, the idea behind this similar is just the way we work with layers is slightly different. And so Hauser effects allows us to create very interesting three D or all sorts of motion graphics, animations, which is a little bit harder to create in Premiere Pro. Let's quickly go through the tools. We have V, our selection tool. Then we have hand tool, which we can activate by H, or we can let press on V to activate this. And then if I hold space, it's going to select this tool. If I get rid of space, it's going to go back to the selection tool. So this is actually very convenient because when let's say I'm going to select this one, pressing Command D many times. And let's say we have all sorts of layers, I'm going to zoom in a little bit here. Instead of, like, moving to the right or to the left, I'm just going to press on hand tool and move like. So this is very, very convenient. And you can press on Option or Alt on PC to zoom in and out here in this time. The Zoom tool allows us to zoom in and we can click over here and then press on fit to go back to the full screen. And you will notice that what we have on the screen, like these map animations, this was created in after effects. Like everything we have on the screen was created in after effects. Okay. These tools needed to use the three D camera, you probably will not use the three D camera because it just takes a lot of time, especially for the faceless YouTube channels. I mean, it depends depends on what kind of videos you create, but if you will be working three D camera, you will use rotation tool allows us to just rotate things. Like so. The pan behind tool is similar to Premiere Pro, where let's say I have this layer that's a little bit smaller, and then I can move its contents around by having exactly the same length. The shape tool allows us to create a shape. If we diselect every so, or if I delete this and if I select this video, we can actually create a mask. Mask basically isolates certain areas and shows only certain areas based on what utility show, and you can do this with the shape layer. Then the pen tool where we can draw something on the screen, like so, text tool allows us to write text. The brush tool allows us to brush, and we have a separate window like so pop up. But honestly, I rarely use the brush, so we will not necessarily need it. In this case. We resize things. Another very, very useful tool we have is a Rota Brs tool, which is this one. It allows us to separate certain things. Let me just delete these parts. Let me double click. By pressing command, I'm going to make and using the mouse, I'm going to make it a little bit smaller. I can select the part of the boy, for example, and pressing space is going to analyze the movement of the boy and sort of like a mask that does automatic selection. You saw that it wasn't perfect at some point. Like over here, you can see the moment became a little bit too fast, and we can freeze this layer. I'm going to press and stop to not do it forever. And if I disable all of this, close this, you will see that we kind of made a selection of just the boy moving like so weirdly. And anyway, this is what you can do in after effects very, very easily. Now, we have interesting tools here, for example, the Align tool. Let's say we add something on the screen, and this align tool, which we can activate by going to Window and align. We can put something right in the middle, which is very convenient. Then the properties tab, which once again, window and properties, we can change different colors. So I can change the color of this part or I can change the roundness of this. The properties panel is super, super convenient. But later, I will also show you how to add even more stuff to save even more time. And I know it might be a little bit, like scary because it's just a little bit too much, but trust me, it's not scary at all. The first time you're seeing Okay, it might be a little bit overwhelming, but trust me, with a little bit of practice, it's not going to be a problem at all. One thing I do recommend is if you go into the default workspace, this is what you get from the very beginning. If you are planning to work to create vertical short form content, then go ahead and customize it to be likeo. In this case, in to grab the composition, put it to the right, put the properties here, align to audio effects, just put everything there, make this one a lot bigger. Preview, we can move it left as well. Actually, close the preview panel. Effect is good. Audio, we don't really need it in after effects. Align is good. Properties is good, effects project. Let's just customize it a little bit. Let's do it like so. So we have the project stuff on the left, and we have all sorts of, like, properties, effects, things over here. And then you can right click Save as new workspace. Like so, give it a name, and then it will appear here at the top, super convenient, and then you will have it just saved to this layout. So this is a quick overview of after effects. If you have any questions, let me know. But than that, I'll see you in the next video. 10. Cut Audio for YouTube Shorts & Long-Form (Manual vs AI Tools): Great. Now that we're a little bit familiar with Premiere Pro and after effects, let's get to editing our first video. I'm going to take an audio that we generated in 11 labs and I'm going to drag and drop it over here. Then I can actually by selecting it, press Shift N and it's going to create a composition from the selection. Now, if we go into the sequence settings by coming here, see that the time base is 25 frams a second. I'm going to set it to 30 and press okay. Now, I can actually make this part a little bit smaller, like so to make sure I don't have this very annoying line that basically allows us to change the audio loudness by just dragging it. So this is the audio loudness. And I'm going to make it a little bit smaller. There are a couple of ways that you can do this, and I'll show it to you in the future on how to just save it as a shortcut and make everything smaller at once. This is our audio, and sometimes you do have to cut the audio a little bit. And in order to cut the audio, I really recommend you to use a tool, and it is a pay tool. I'll tell you right away, but it's called Fire Card. This tool will honestly save you an unbelievable amount of time. You can go into pricing. You'll see that the fire card is $24. If in this video you find this tool valuable, you want to give it a try. Follow Link in description because you will get 10% off forever. So how would I usually do it? I would go, go ahead and select the razor tool. Add a LO, go ahead and select the vital, delete, click Delete. A lot of movement. One thing we can do is we can speed this process up a little bit by having a couple of shortcuts. So if I go into keyboard shortcuts, which we have here, keyboard shortcuts, you can see that the shortcut to open shortcuts is Option Command K. Just remember the shortcut is going to be super useful or just remember to click here all the time. Search for add edit, and you will have some sort of different shortcut here. Just delete it. Press LO, and then add EW. This is going to be add edit, then search for ripple trim. Ripple trim, next edit to play head E, previous edit to play head Q, put E and Q and press on Okay. What this does is with this playhead, we will be able to press on W and it's going to make a cut. So whenever you can see that I'm making a ton of different cuts by pressing W. So we'll make a cut. And then by pressing Q, it's going to cut everything from the playhead from this blue line to the cut. So if you press on Q, it's going to cut everything from here to the left, and then it's also going to move everything to the left. Now, let's say I have a cut here and press on E, it's going to cut everything from the playhead until the cut to the right. Like, so, or if, for example, I'm here, the next cut, where do we have it? We have it here. When the audio ends, I'm going to press on E, it's going to cut everything. So you can speed this process up quite significantly, and that's kind of how you can do it manually. Like, so because these are all the poses and oftentimes we don't want pauses to be in the video. We can do it like so. There you go. So, it takes quite a lot of time, right? Imagine doing it for this whole video, this video is like what it's like 3 minutes? No, I'm going to press on Commands et two and two, and let's get to the point where we have no cuts. Perfect. And now I'm going to use a fire cut, just to show you how much time it saves, because it's truly unbelievable. Whenever you install it, you need to go into remote silences. Honestly, just drag this to do a tight cut and then press on go. This is all real time. I'm not cutting anything. It's how fast it's doing here. I'm even going to move the cursor. There you go. It's done with AI, and I absolutely adore this tool. It's truly, truly amazing. Saves just hours and hours of just manual cutting for me. And you can see that this is where it started. It started 305, and now the last frame is at 2 minutes and 32 seconds. So we cut 33 seconds of silence because we have 33 seconds. Up things. You can do it with razor tool or you can do it with the shortcuts or you do it using the firecut Now firecut if we come here and if I go into back, we don't just have remove silences. We have filler words. We have front repetition, Zooms, chapters, captions, voice over, real music, multi track, highlights, workflows. Honestly, the like, it's unbelievable. I use it all the time. Like, this tool is really, really amazing. I'm sharing this tool because if you want to do faceless YouTube channel at scale and you don't want to just drown in repetition, I mean, you can give it a try. You can go ahead and try doing manually, but you will understand how boring it becomes and how manual it becomes. And so with this tool, you can just save a lot of headache for yourself and a lot of time. Because imagine if you saved, let's say, just 10 minutes cutting every single day, that's going to be like 70 minutes by the end of the week, and that's going to be 280 minutes or 300 minutes, let's say, because 10 minutes per day. 300 minutes per month. That's like 5 hours of just manual cutting. So, you beat the judge of it. Just wanted to share the tool. It's really useful. And another thing is that it is actually by Ali Abdel, if you know this YouTuber. It's a productivity YouTuber who created the stool. If you have any questions, let me know. A than that, let's jump into the next video. 11. Edit Complete YouTube Videos in Premiere Pro Step-by-Step: Welcome. And let's start editing the video. First of all, I'd like to organize things a little bit here. So I'm going to select these, and then we can either drag and drop them here to create a folder or we can press Comanche and delete this. What I prefer is pressing Shift B and creates folder, and I know that we are going to have our sequence and our raw file there. In this case, I'm just going to call it raw to make sure things are organized. Now, when it comes to the video where that's going to be vertical or horizontal, we do need to look at the format, and we kind of need to copy the format in some ways. For example, we have this apsthetics and we have primate economics. Let's compare just the monkeys themselves. The monkeys do look slightly different. This is the monkey, and then this is the monkey. The colors are slightly different. The faces are slightly different. Basically, what we need to do is we need to replicate this style. And that means literally just copying almost like one to one, whatever we do. Remember, we don't copy the conta, we just copy the format. So let's do a quick look. Monkey knows that most monkey have apps already. Even fat monkey has apps, just hiding under big monkey belly, no matter D explanation videos. Okay, if we are doing this monkey, like, for example, how to cook a proper steak or video is Double check. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook bad steak, monkey cry. You can already tell that the audio is very similar. Now, how do we replicate visuals? If you have skills to do this yourself, to draw, for example, this is great if your format is drawing. Or for example, we can ask CGPTO we can do it by hand in premiere or in After effect. So depending on what kind of format you do, you will have to recreate the format. Now, in this case, how would I solve this? Okay, obviously, we need to create a drawing of a monkey. And in this case, I would literally take a screenshot, put it into HAGPT and ask JAGPT to generate a PNG monkey because I don't know how to draw a monkey, or maybe I would try to draw it, but it would take a lot of time. So I'm going to take screenshot of this monkey. I'm going to put it here. And now we just need to ask HAGPT to generate it. Okay. Hey, JAGPT, I am creating a faceless YouTube video that's going to be a long form video, and I need you to generate a two D drawing of a monkey like you see in the example that I'm attaching. Now, obviously, we need our monkey to look slightly differently. And later, we are going to use this monkey to generate all sorts of poses and faces. But for now, I need you to generate a monkey, specifically a chef monkey, because we are going to create a video about cooking. So let's generate a monkey, change a little bit, like the colors, little bit of the face, and let's add a chef hat on top of this monkey. Make sure to keep roughly the same style as this monkey. Go ahead and do that. Okay, great. Now, while it's doing that, let me show a couple of things. So let's take a look at the background. The background is white, the backgrounds white. Okay, how do we do a white background in Premiere Pro? Well, it's actually very simple. All we have to do is come here, click on icon. And then we need to add a color mat. Press now K, and press N K, and then just drag and drop it. Okay, and now we have a white video. And by the way, let's change it to 1920 by 1080. Because in this case, we're creating a horizontal video, and let's delete this mat, delete, and let's create another color mat, perfect, white, perfect. And if you want to create another color in the future, you're welcome to change it. You can either double click here to change the color of this one, or you can click and create another color. So it's going to be different mat which you can dragon drop on top. Like so. Okay, let's check ha DPT. Interesting, interesting. Okay. Let's give it a try. Let's save this image as, and I'm going to just save it to download, and then I'm going to dragon drop it there, and let's see what we have. By the way, let's disable Okay. So another important aspect is that this monkey has a background, and this is a great question on whether we can use something like some sort of effect in Premiere Pro to get rid of that. Or if we want to ask GPT to generate a pinyimageGenerate, a pine Ninja image is definitely going to be easier because there's effect, for example, called color K and after effect. Oh, sorry, premiere, which when I apply, and I select a color to get rid of from. You can see we can definitely get rid of white color, like so, but then we also get rid of some of the monkey parts, like, for example, here. So it's definitely better to generate a PNG image after that JTPT can generate. Because if we do like before and after, before, after, definitely the before is better. So let's get rid of the color key. But this is a very useful effect that you can use in the future. But let's wait, in this case for premiere pro, let's listen. Monkey want good steak, monkey cook bad steak, monkey. You want good steak. By the way, we can go into text and transcript. If you don't have it, you can open it up here. And monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad steak, monkey cry. Mm. Perfect. Generating that. So we need steak. Okay, let's save this image, and I'm going to call it image two. Let's try to put it here and yes, disable the background. Perfect. So this is our monkey. Perfect. Let's put it, for example, like here. All I'm doing is just decreasing the scale, like so and moving it around. Nothing fancy. Okay, Haji Pet very, very well done. Now, I need you to generate also a picture of a steak in the same format as the monkey, like an uncooked steak, and then next to that, a burnt steak to the right in this very same two D drawing style format. Well, I'm asking for two because with this, we'll probably need to use Haji PT quite a lot. And so you can generate two steaks at once, and then I can just cut the image to save a bit of time. Okay, while doing that, let's think of what we need to do next. Good steak. Monkey cook, bad steak. Monkey cry. Because monkey, no, no, one word. Balance. Because monkey, no, no, one word. Balance. For example, for the word balance, I remember from the examples that most monkey have apps already. They have, like, text sometimes, so we can actually do something very similar by having some sort of text on the screen. In this case, let's add the word balance. Balance. I'm going to write the word. It's white for now, and I have to go into properties, and I need to select something like black. Okay, so here in properties, you can select all sorts of fonts. You can put, for example, the text in the middle. You can change its position, change its scale, or you can change the font size. Basically, scale is just the scale of the whole layer, and then the font size is the size of the font of the taxi let's say you create the style that you like, you can go ahead and go to the bottom and click on plus, create style. Make sure to name it, and then click on save to local styles. You don't have to click it here because it's not really useful, to be honest. And then when you click on the four squares, you're going to have your presets. For example, this is one of the presets that I have, and I'd like to use, for example, this text. We know one word, Balan. And we can move this a little bit to the right. Why? Because monkey no no one word. Balance. Let's move it. One word. Balance. One word. See, we have a bit of a pause here, so I'm going to move it a little bit to the right, like so so that the word doesn't appear before we have the speech. We have roughly the same time. Word. Balance. Good steak equals key no no one word. Balance. Let's check the Cha GPT. Perfect. This is very good. Okay, so image three. Now, generate an image of the same monkey that we had above crying. So like having tears. So we have our steaks. Is, it's not Bing, but in this case, we can use the color key. The a color key works, the color key effect is it has we basically tell it like, choose a specific color. For some reason, it's not working properly, but we can just select white and then get rid of disable that one. And I'm going to thin the edge a little bit. Perfect. So the way it works is we select the color, and then we just basically get rid of that color. If the color is similar, it's going to catch that similarity a little bit, and it's going to cut a little bit of this similar color. But if the color is completely different, it's not a problem at all. Now, what we also need to do is we need to crop. So you can see we have these crops. If you're going to effect control, we have crops. If some reason you don't have it, you can just search for crop in the effect and then apply it here, and you're going to have the crop. Let's crop it from the right at first, like sauce that we don't have the burn steak and then move it bad. Monkey want good steak, good steak. Monkey cook, bad Monkey want good steak. Monkey Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook bad. Actually, we can just duplicate this one. I'm going to drag it and press option, and we're just going to duplicate it. Now, in this case, we need to move the steak to the right. And when we go into properties or the effect control, we can we to return this one to regular, to be it back to where it was, and now put it like so. Monkey Cook, bad steak. Monkey cry. Let's see if image four. Sanctoryimages. Steak. Monkey steak. Monkey cry. Why? Because monkey no no one word. Balance, monkey cry, why, Monkey cry. Okay, so we have lots of different layers. And now, here, I'd like to add the word y on the screen. Let's drag the word balance and press Option or Alt ops, and let's write it like so. Go to properties and put it right in the middle. Why? Because monkey, no, no one word. Balance. Good steak equals two things. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad steak, monkey cry. Why? Because monkey, no, no one word. Balance. Good steak the way I've completely forgot to tell you, for example, when I put this monkey here and the way I put it in the same position as this monkey is, I just copy it. If I go into the effects control, I just copied the motion and I pasted the motion here. So literally just select, copy, press Command C, select this copy. And then whenever I click here, if I disable it, put it back to original and then select Paste. Select again, paste. I just put it back in the same position. Y. Why? Because monkey no no one word. Balance. Good steak equals two things. Flavor. So then I'm going to copy the good steak. Balance. Good steak y. And let's put it, a little bit to the left and a little bit up. Good steak y. Then we have the word equals. So let's actually, let's copy the word balance. Put it like so. I'm going to select everything press equals. Good steak equals two things. Flavor. Texturing flavor. And let's add two words. Flavor and texture. Flavor. Flavor. I can actually select one of them and just put it here. Move it around like so. Flavor, and then copy, put it roughly like so and put this one third bit lower. Texture. Things. Flavor. Texture. Flavor come from fat. Flavor come from Yeah, that's fat monkey has apps, hiding under big monkey belly. No matter how many crunches monkey does, if monkey doesn't lose the belly bun, the apps will never shine under the jungle sun. So monkey go on a diet, eating fewer sweet, long bananas and going after shorter ones. Training, monkey, do not do apps workout with high repetitions. As monkey know that this is similar to cardio, it doesn't build blocky monkey apps. Monkey train apps like monkey train every. Let's look from the very beginning and see what we have. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad steak, monkey cry. Why? Because monkey no no one word. Balance. Good steak equals two things flavor, texture, flavor come from fat. Put this in the middle roughly, like so. From fat. White lines in meat. Let me go to transcript marbling. I'm not sure how to spell this word, so I'm just going to copy it. And I'm going to marbling. Put this word a little bit to the right. And we need to draw White lines in meat fat. White lines in Let's draw something like an R, maybe. I'm going to draw it using the pentel, so surely let's make it a bit smaller. Like, so, then I go into properties, and I'm going to disable the fill, enable the stroke, make it black, put it into center, and make it a bit thicker. Perfect. And then the same graphic, I'm actually going to draw another thing. Okay, so that should be it. I come from fat. White lines in meat? That marbling. More marbling equals more. We got to 14 seconds and you get the idea, right? This is just it's just the way you have to do it. Obviously, if you want to make it slightly different, you can definitely experiment with that. And if you want to do it different in your own ways, you can definitely experiment. There's no, right wrong. It's just whatever works, and a lot of the stuff is just experimentation, seeing if it works, if it doesn't. As you can see, these videos are not very long. So if we were to create this video that's 3 seconds long roughly, it's not a problem at all. So that's how you do it in Premiere Pro. I hope you understand the idea. Now, I'm not going to go through the whole video because it's the same repetition. You get the idea. You just have to experiment a little bit, think, Okay, how do I use their format? How do I put it into this video? Because you'll probably do something different and there's just no way. There's just no need in me showing you the stuff that you already know how to do and repeat it for like 1,000 times. So if there are any specific questions, please let me know. Other than that, let's jump into after effects and see how we can work between Premiere Pro and after effects to create these videos. See. 12. Enhance Your Videos in After Effects: We got to a point where, let's say we edit the video in Premiere Pro, and then we want to take this video into after effects How do we do this? So first of all, we need to understand that if we take this whole video, it's going to probably take a lot of ram of your computer. Basically, it's going to take a lot of power for your computer because after effects is a little bit more power hungry, I would say. Would actually recommend if there's a specific part that you want to take into after effects, select that part and take it into after effects. For example, let's cut it here and let's take this part into after effects and see what we can do in after effects with this. So I'm going to select this part. I'm going to right click Replace with After effect composition. But later, you can actually create a shortcut for yourself. Remember, the present Option Command K or control old K on Windows and search for replace with after effects composition. In my case, this is the shortcut, which is option A on a Mac if I click on option A, it's going to open after effect. Now, I do need to save it somewhere, so I'm just going to save it in a test folder and click on Save. We can actually change the name of it to, let's say, test at the top. Perfect. So if I go into Premiere Pro, there are a couple of things we can do. We can either keep it as after effect composition. And now, whatever changes we do in after effects, it's going to be reflected in Premiere Pro. So I can disable this one, and you will see that it disappears from here. So this part is just this whole composition from after effects. And if I enable it back, it's going to reappear. Or let's press on P to move it around move it to the right, it just moved here as well. So we can press command yet and it's going to go back to not having after effects. Although here, it's going to be kept the same. And later, you can export the video from here and take it into Premiere Pro, or we can keep the after effect composition here. There are two ways to do it. I would say that this one is a little bit more power hungry because it has to render things in real time. By the way, you can see, we had a couple of things go, but we'll solve this not a problem. So this part is definitely power hungry. If this lags quite significantly for you that gets to a point where you cannot edit, then I do recommend pressing Command at having this on screen, and then editing the video here, and then I'll show you how to export from here. Basically, it's just going to file export at Render Queue and click on R. Export that video and then put it into Premiere Pro as a video and not as an after effect composition. That's exactly what we can do. Actually, let's keep it like this for now, and let's do some changes in after effects. And, okay, we need to find this image. Oops, I just closed the window. Interesting. What's the name of the composition? I'm not even sure. Let's search for it. Okay, this is the one. And I'm going to actually rename it to Main Comp because this is going to be the composition that's going to be over here as well. Now, let me double check that this is the one. Yes, so this is the steak. And let's apply an effect called let's search for We can search for crop edges as well, and I'm going to apply it. Now, everything that is red, it has some sort of expression. Expression is basically like some sort of code that's used or some sort of, like, connection that's used. So if I increase the percentage of the crop, you'll see that it crops from all sides, and it's just something that after effects does. So in order to crop for you from one side, for example, I have to let's see. I need crop from the right. So where's crop right? It's this whenever we have expression and expression, we can get rid of that. All we have to do is click on our layer and press on E and E twice, and it's going to open the effects. And then we have to scroll down to the expression. You can see these kind of codes are the expressions. We can easily get rid of that. It's not a problem at all. So I'm going to get rid of this crop write expression. I'm going to click on it and delete. Now you'll see that instead of red became blue, and now I can actually crop it. And you can see that it actually happened the other way. We can get rid of the crop on the left. So this is going to be delete and now we need to just crop it left. Oh, I see what happened. It's because of the wipe angle. So if I change it to -90, basically put it to the opposite way and now increase the transition, everything worked perfectly. Now, what we can do is we can select all of these effects, starting from crop here, and we will put to everything that has a steak. Where was the steak? Perfect. So there we have the steak. And here we have the steak. You want good steak. Monkey cook, bad steak. Okay, interesting. A couple of because we had some halves because we had some stuff happen after effects it became a little bit weird. We just have to play around with the settings a little bit. And once again, once you create this video once, you will know how it works, and it's going to be a lot smoother, a lot easier. You'll how to do certain things. You'll remember how to do certain things. And in the very beginning, yes, it is definitely a little bit hard. But then with practice, it's going to become a lot better. So let's do reset here and crop this, like so. Perfect. So now, basically we have everything exactly the same as we have in Premiere Pro. All we have to do is just to shorten this up a little bit until the text appears. It's not always perfect, but you just have to play around a little bit. Why? Monkey, no, no, why? Because monkey, no, no one word, balance. Good steak equals two things flavor. Texture, flavor come from fat, white lines in meat, that marbling. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook bad Perfect. So some of the effect, let's say we can do after effect. And once again, this will always depend on temper video that you cad. But for example, what can we do here? Why don't we create some sort of like a glow around our steak? And I would actually like to create a glow. Let's just double check that this is the stake, perfect. So I'm going to duplicate it by pressing Command D or Control D, and the one at the bottom, I'm going to apply an effect called fill to make sure we fill it with a very specific color. In this case, we can make it yellow, something like gold. And we can also apply an effect called glow, and then we can increase the radius so that it looks like this. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad steak. Monkey cry. Monkey want good steak. We can shorten this up a little bit to have this effect. Like, it's starting to glow. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad steak, monkey cry. Or let's keep it from the very beginning. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad steak. Monkey cry. Why? Because monkey no no one word. That's one of the ways that we can do this. Then, for example, for text, there's a bit of a problem with after effects and text. Whenever you take text from premiere into after effects, it creates a composition for that. So now we have a composition within the composition, and we have to find balance. This is the word balance, and if I click on it, you'll see that this is where it is. I can actually just go ahead and click on it, press and command X to take it, and then paste it here. Word Balance good. And then we need to press some P, for example, to open the position, move it a little bit to the right. Obviously, something you create in premiere Pu, it's better to keep there. This is just as an example. And that's why I have to recreate a couple of things. Let's say you take, like, a video to after effect and you just do it there. You don't have to recreate all the stuff. Another important aspect is, let's say you want to take just audio to after effects, you will right click and you'll see that it does work. That's because you also need to select some sort of from the visual. So whenever you select a color mat, or you can add just some sort of shape, whenever you select it, right click, you can replace it with after effects composition. So just a tip. Now, we can also animate texts. For example, we can search for like a typewriter effect and we can just double click on it. Press on you to reveal keyframes, and I'm going to move keyframe here and here. Balance. Steak and let's make sure that the text appears when the word is when the person is saying that. Balance. Good steak equals two maybe hear him a little bit so that it stops typing a little bit earlier. Word. Balance. Good steak equals two things, flavor. Texture. Now, in after effects, there are a ton of effects. If you open, like, animation presets and then you open any sort of, like, presets we have so many different effects. And honestly, there's a ton. So there's, like, some specific effect that you're searching for a really, really good idea is to run it through HGPT. So let's say you are going for some sort of like style and sortive effect, movement, animation, just tell it to GPT, and TPT will help you identify which effect you need to search for. And it will actually help you with the animation itself because it will tell you, like a step by step that you need to press. It's not always perfect. You do have to go a little bit back and forth, but once again, once you learn technique. Then you don't have to search for it next time. You can just remember that. And it's like a compounding effect where the first time you do it, it's like, it's very hard to start moving the car. Then once the car moves, it's a lot easier to keep it moving than to start it from the ground up. I will also say, if there are any specific things that you're looking to do in after effects, just let me know in the Q&A section below. If needed, I will record the separate video on this. Other than that, it's just trying to replicate. So let's see if there's anything else that we can replicate in after effects or in premiere pro. Like, for example, this color, you can easily create this both in premiere pro or in after effects. And other than that, there's honestly not much to do here. You just have to generate a lot of images in enjoy it yourself. So in terms of this color, it's actually slightly different to do in both premiere and after effects. So if we were to do it in after effects, I would just select the layer, and then I would apply an effect called lumetri color, and I would change the color, for example, change the color slightly to, let's say, red. Maybe we need shadows or highlights. Potentially, we might need everything else. It's just one of the ways to change color. You can apply a fill color or you can apply all sorts of different ways. And now what I would do is I would create a mask. Create a mask by using the shape. As I told you before, we can use a pen tool. Like we can create a mask, for example, here, and it's going to create a mask of everything. But then if we go into effects, glometric color and then compositing options, click on Plus, it's going to select a mask. And then we can also press on M to reveal the mask path, and then we can customize our mask if we want to make it sound like that. So that's how you do it in after effects. In Premiere Pro, let me just take a monkey from the very beginning to let's can be pretty similar where we can apply something like lumetri color. There you go. Or we can go into lumetri color panel, which you can activate by going into Window and Lumetri there. And then we can do exactly the same thing. Color will make everything red. And then let's say we go into effects controls, which you can activate by pressing this button here as well. And then you can create a mask. This is a mask. Create a mask. Like so. And there you go. So there's one way to do it. There's another way to do it. If you want slightly different colors, of course, you can go ahead and customize it even further. There are many ways to do it. Whatever solution you need, just go through HAPTs going to create a technique that's going to work specifically for you. And then once you have that, just remember that and then replicate it next time. And by doing something ten times 100 times, you will know what works best. There's no kind of one solution fits all, but this is just kind of the easiest way to do this. That's exactly the process that I use in order to create these kind of videos. And I'll show you my own examples and the videos that I create later in a couple of videos. So if you have any questions, let me know. A than that, let's jump into the next video. 13. Sound Design for YouTube: Music, Voice, and Mistakes to Avoid: In this video we talk about sound design and pitfalls to avoid. By sound design, I mean, sound effects and music. And let's take a look at the screen. One of the videos that I posted was actually blocked because of the sounds that I used. This is a channel that as you can see, I started in January 1. And so you can take a look at the views. So the views got like 25, 24, ten, nine, and then one. And this is the video that was blocked. It was blocked for very specific reason because I used music with copyrights and didn't I didn't have rights to use that music. And you can see that whenever when I re posted that video with a different song, get 37 views. So YouTube knows that this video, basically, that I reloaded this video, and it limited the reach. Although this video had such an incredible potential. It was the biggest video that I used, the longest video with the most animations, things like that. It was like this video had, I think, the most potential for this channel, and it didn't work. So it's really, really important, and this video is going to be super super important. Now, I will say that let's say you're not going to use any music in your videos, then you can probably get away with something free, for example, like Pixi Babe, so they have sound effects. And if I search for Well, let's search for, like, UI sounds. Great. You can just go ahead and download, and then whenever you download. Okay, we didn't really have anything here, but let's say we're going to music, download any kind of song. Okay, and then it's going to this window is going to pop up and you can read the licensing here. This is super important because if you want to make sure if you want to monetize the videos, which is basically the end goal of this, you want to make sure you really understand the issues. Now, when it comes to music, whenever you download music for free, basically, put in description and in other places the mention of the author of that song. Long story short, it's way better to use something that doesn't require you to do any of that. And basically, you pay, like, very small amount. But you know that it's just you will not have any problems with that. And great place to do that is epidemic sound. Once again, if you use something for free, without music, you can get away with Pixel but if you want to make sure you use music, and most of the time you do need music because it's just the format that you use has music, it makes the video a lot more engaging than epidemic sound. Honestly, I've been using epidemic sound for, like, I don't know how many years at this point, a ton of years, at least seven years at this point. And they have music. They have sound effects. It is under subscription. But if you use a ink in the research section, you get a 30 day free trial, so I really recommend you to explore this. Obviously, the choice is yours, but I'm telling you that one of the videos got blocked, and imagine if one of these videos, if this channel was monetized and it was bringing money, and it was, like, a very significant video, then it would be a big problem if that got demonetized. And if VD gets blocked or you use music from here, depending on the long form or the short form, there are different rules, but overall, it's better to use, professional music. So Bemic sound, I'd like to give you a quick overview. Whenever you get your third day free trial in the Link in description, you'll be taking to the homepage. This is what it looks like. So it gives you recommendations on your most recent downloads. Then if you go into music, obviously, we have music here and we have different genres, moods, and my favorite one is themes. And if we were to use cooking, like, for example, for this video, we could go into cooking. But something I would also love to know is what kind of sounds? What kind of music do the forms that we trying to learn from? What do they do? Most monkey have apps already. Even fat monkey has apps, just hiding under big monkey belly. No matter how many crunches monkey does, if monkey doesn't lose the belly bun, the apps will never shine under the jungle sun. Okay, let's use monkey economics. Let's search and take a look at what they do. Monkey want to own home, but how does Monkey buy home? There are a few options. Option one, be rich. I'll really want my own place. I don't understand. If you want the house, just buy it. Okay. Your card was declined. Option two, Inherit monkey parents' house. Monkey's parents have a home. But monkey's parents are still alive, and taking them out would be financially unwise. What? I was just kidding. Kitting about what, son? Nothing. Option three. Monkey Gets a loan from Monkey Bang. Okay, so in terms of the music, for this format, we don't necessarily have to use the music, but for the sound effects, there was a sound effect here. So when the payment got through, then when it was declined. Now, if we were to use, obviously, we don't need to use the music, but if we're going into sound effects, I'm going to use it from Epidemic Sound once again. In terms of our video, if we were to use something, I think we can use something like grill sound here, and even if they wanted to. Because they don't collect it. Cape defends against Sim swap attacks, signaling hacks, voicemail theft, the works. Even new features like Mm hmm. So for the ad, they actually have some sort of music, which is interesting. Rotation, making it far more difficult for anyone to track monkeys movements, just like monkeys your first six on dice. Inspection fees. Yeah, they crawl through the plate looking for termites, trying to eat your spake. Origination fee. That's the bank little cut. Making you loan so your deal don't but. Credit report fee, they digging your past. Checking if you pay your bills slow or fast. Title search fee. It looked deep in size. Can also apply for So you said there was some sort of music as well? In anyway. Let's start searching. So Pansar what happened, pan sear Pan Sear pan sear. Okay. Frying pans. So I'm just going to download the very first one. Come into Premiere. Then let's go into project, and let's drop. I'm not going to do the crack. Let's start from here. And these videos they're kind of abrupt, most of the time, so we can actually get away with very abrupt sound. Let's give it a try.y Cook bastak Monkey crack. Why? Because then whenever we select the audio, we can press on G, and we can do something like -15 to -20 to -30 in terms of the decibel. Basically just how loud something is. Usually, it's close to 0 decibels, the original, and then you just try to lower it. In terms of the music, you can get up to -30. You just want to make sure that you can clearly hear the voice in the background. And if you can, that's great. So let's give -15 try by pressing on G, -15, pressing on K. Let's listen. Monkey Cook, bad Monkey cry. Why? Because monkey no no one word. Balance. For balance, we can also use some sort of like a UI sound, like a success sound, success. Let's search for that. I actually like this very first sound. Okay. So, let's put it in. This is our sound. Let's put it here. One word. Balance. Good steak, equals two thing. Flavor. Just made it lower by minus ten. Oh, one word. Balance. Good steak equals two. Let's lower it by minus ten further. No, no, one word. Ballad. Good steak equals two. Let's listen from the very beginning. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad monkey cry. Why? Because monkey, no, no, one word. Ballad Good steak equals two thing. Flavor. Flavor come from fat. White lines in meat. That marbling More marbling equals get the idea. You just want to support the visuals with some sort of sound, but not all the time. Depending on the format that you use, you want to just kind of see what they do. Now, in terms of the music, we had a number of different music musics. And you can just go ahead and explore, but with cooking, let's actually still see what they do here. So home cooking, dining out. I actually like the song. This is really good. I think it's going to really suit what we're doing here. So I'm just going to add our music here, and then I'm going to double click on it to see what we have. And with in and out points, I'm going to just select it. Okay, great, Let's see where we can put it. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad monkey cry. Why? Because monkey no no one word. Balance. Good steak, equals. Okay, let's try to put it here. One word. Balance. Steak. Flavor text. We. That marbling. More marbling equals I'm going to select it and press G -20. And I'm also going to go into the Effects Control panel and search for this effect called Lower music for voice. And you are welcome to copy these settings. So it's a simple parametric Q. You don't have the lower for voice. You need to search for simple parametric Q, drop it over here, and then just copy these settings, right click, Save Preset, give it a name, and you will always have this efect. It just basically lowers some of the music to make it so that the voice in the background stands out and makes it a lot more clear and it doesn't compete with the voice. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad monkey cry. Why? Because monkey no no one word. Balance. Good steak equals two things flavor. Tech flavor come from fat. White lines in meat. That marble. Me marbling. You get the idea. So just have to play around. Another very useful tip that I can give you is, let's say you like a video, just copy the URL and search for download YouTube video. And then you will have different downloaders. Just go ahead and click on one of them, paste the link. Click and download. Not you have to wait a little bit, and then click and download again. Sometimes you do get an ad or something like that. Okay. And we just downloaded the video. One. Monkey knows that most monkey have apps already. Perfect. And by doing this, you can actually compare the video. You can take a look at the sounds that they use. So I can drag this video here. So the video doesn't work because it needs to have a different different profile resolutions. So like that, sometimes it doesn't work, so you just need to download another one. Let's see if the next one is going to work. Yes, the next one does work. Perfect. So if it doesn't fit the screen, just make it a little bit bigger to 150 in our case, but you might require to set a different scale parameter for yourself. And here we can watch this video. Monkey knows that most monkey have apps already. Even fat monkey has apps, just hiding under big monkey belly. No matter how many crunches monkey does, if monkey doesn't lose the belly bun, the apps will never shine under the jungle sun. So monkey go on a diet. Eat monkey and wrap 90 and build it into the mirror at banana. Okay, another music at the end there, so we can actually take a look at when it starts. Bananas. Okay. And you get the idea. You can take a look at exactly how big the size of the monkey is compared to like ourselves, right? And you can take a look at the audio at what they do. So you just compare see what works, see what doesn't, and that's it. Now, once again, to recap, if you use music, use something like epidemic sound, Link in description for 30 day for trial. If not, use Pixabay for sound effects. Take a look at their licensing. It is really important for you to understand all the aspects. Just post the videos. And if you do not do that, one of your videos will be blocked because of the copyright. Now, the copyright issue with this video specifically was that actually I used the song from Pixabay. But because my short was longer than 60 seconds, it's not able to use that. And with shorts and long forms, in terms of music, the situation is slightly different because with shorts, you can technically use as I understand, you can use all kinds of music. And you will not get demonetized for that. However, if you use long forms and use a music from some artists that you don't have the rights to use, you will have to like a video will not be monetized or it will, but then all the monetization will go to the artist. So if you want to give the money into something like epidemic sound. If you have any questions, let me know. But than that, let's jump into the next video. 14. How to Export Videos Correctly for YouTube Uploads: In this video, we'll learn how to export in both after effects and in Premiere Pro. So in after effects, whenever we have our composition, we need to go into file export at the render Q, and whatever composition we're in, it's going to get the composition into the render queue. Render Queue is just a place where you have different renders. Now, in to select high quality with Alpha, if you don't have that, in to go into templates, render settings. And in order to always have this because you will have something different in the very beginning, you do need to set it here or do we have that? Module. Yes, so into set high quality with alpha, it's the best settings. You just put it there once, and then you don't have to touch it ever again. And then all you have to do is to set the output two, which in this case, we are going to do the test, and let's just do it here. Click on Render is going to render and the S video. Monkey want good steak. Monkey cook, bad steak. Monkey cry. Why? Because monkey no no one word. Balance. Good steak equals two things flavor, texture. Flavor come from fat. White lines in meat. That when we come to Premiere Pro, all we have to do is to drag this file here and then put it in the very beginning where we had it, right? And then if I enable or disable, because we have the same overlay, if I enable or disable this video or even delete it, nothing changes because it's in exactly the same position. So that's how you do it. You just put it here and then you'll be ready to export. Now, if we delete this, in order to export, you need to come to the very end of where you want to export. Once you edit the whole video, you just need to come to the very end and press on shift in order to kind of stick to the very end. But here's one thing you'll notice. You come here, you get to shift. And then we need to set the out point of when we need to end the export. And when you press on O to set the outpoint, you will see we have one very annoying frame. That's just something we have to deal with in premiere. We have one very annoying frame at the end. It's supposed to be like this, but then when we get to this very last, it's going to be black, and we don't want the black frame there. In order to get rid of that, what I do is I click somewhere further away from the endpoint. Then I have to press on arrow up like so. It gets us basically to this very end point. It's the same as pressing shift. And then I press arrow left because we get left by one frame, and then I press on O. In this case, it's going to be a very precise here part at the end. So we're not going to have an annoying black frame at the end. Once you do that, you need to go into Export, or you can press Command M, and it's going to get you into the Ex. Here we are going to customize your settings. Let's open the video and press more. So here you can press some match source, and the export is going to be the same as the size and the frame rates of the composition. You want to make sure you put rendered maximum depth, use maximum brand equality, frame sampling, hardware encoding, high, 4.2, 2.3, sorry, 203. Go a little bit further down. I put it 19. Basically, it's how crisp your video is going to be and the size of the video because the higher you put this, we get different numbers. Let's say we go from four oh one to let's put it to 60, 12, 90. You can see it became a lot bigger. So this is what I put. Then I go into the effects and I click here. And I set a Lumetri L lot, and then you click on here, select. And then go ahead and download it from the resources section. You'll get this file, which is QTo Compensation. Select. Go ahead and find it on your computer. In my case, it is located Premier Pro Color Experts. I just have a folter for it, and then I have to select it. Click on difference between this is that when you export in Premiere Pro, there's a bit of an issue with the color export, and Adobe was aware of that, and they created this lot. Basically, it's compensation because whenever you export the video without it, you can see it becomes a little bit less saturated. And when I click on it, it becomes a little bit darker. So the colors will be slightly different if you don't use it. If you do use it, then this is what's going to be. So go ahead and click on that set all the video settings in terms of the audio. These are the settings. If you have any captions, you can go ahead and click on Export captions. This is not the text that you have on the screen. It is captions. If you generated that, if you went into transcript, click here, create captions, we can create captions. If you have, these captions in the screen, then you do need to set captions here. Other than that, once you have all the settings, right, just go ahead and save preset, give it a name. In my guess is flat Slav Slov QT Gamma, for example. I click on Okay. The name, honestly, doesn't matter just for you to remember. And then whenever you want to export the video, you can click here, and then you can give this video a name, for example, like test, video, PR, Export. And let's save it in the same space as we saved our After Effects video, and let's click on Export. It's going to take some time to export because we have pretty significant video in terms of length. Let's just wait until it exports. Take a look, make sure that everything is okay. If it is, then this part would be completed. Let's take a look at the video. Monkey want good state. Monkey Cook, bad state. Monkey cry. Because monkey no no one word, balance. Good steak equals two things flavor, texture, flavor come from fat, white lines in meat, that marbling. More marbling. Perfect. So if we are ready with the video, then we are ready to move on to the next steps. But before I show you how to post this video, let me show you how to save a lot of time. So that's what we're going to get into the next video. How to save a lot of time with lots of different tips and tricks when creating these videos. So if you have any questions, let me know, than that let's jump into the next video. 15. Real Examples: How I Edited Viral Videos Start to Finish: In this video, I'd like to show you a little bit behind the scenes and literally the projects that generated tens of thousands of views. So this video, for example, generated 25,000 views, more or less, and I'd like to show you behind the scenes. So first of all, the project organizations had After Effects Premiere Pro. I didn't put any Mujis here because I didn't have a template at that time. I wasn't sure which folders I was going to need, but this is the very first test project. Ported the audio here, which I actually recorded myself, cut it using fire cut, and then took all of the stuff into after effects. You can see this is the export from after effects, just the final composition. I then added the sound effects and then added the music in the background. Now, when we go to after effects, we have a lot of stuff here. Take a look. These are all the layers. This is all the stuff that I had to do in after effects to create this video. No, I can close some of this stuff, and it's going to be a little bit more tidy. But, like, this is all the layers that I had to do in order to create this video. You'll also notice that it takes quite a bit of time to load each frame. Takes like 50 milliseconds to load each frame if I play it. And this is a third. So if I put it into full, it's going to take 2 seconds to load one frame, roughly. What I did in after effects is let me kind of show you the video quickly. Basically, it's like, how to go from Africa to Alaska without touching a plane, like, actually walking this is the animation. Basically, you have to go through Russia and then go through the Bering Strait and you'll be able to go to Alaska because the sea freezes in winter because it's so cold there. I had a number of challenges with these kind of videos, but then once I created the very first video became a lot easier. I had to get a huge map so that when I zoom in, I keep the quality. How do I do that? Well, it was a bit of a challenge. But it turns out that NASA actually has, like, super high quality images. And that's what I did. I went to NASA website, downloaded a very high quality, and that's why when we zoom in, if I put into full, we have a good quality. But the original file, if I show to you, yes. So this is the original file that I downloaded from NASA. It's relatively good quality. I mean, if we really zoom in, of course, it's not going to be super good, it gets pixelated, but this one is not super super high quality. You can download like ten times the size of this one. And then another thing is that I needed to know, like, the countries to create this kind of glow. How did I get that? Well, I need to get an SVG map. Basically, a specific format where you can separate every single layer through Adobe Illustrator, which takes like 5 minutes. It's not hard at all. So you can learn this approach as well, very, very easily. And then I created this video. I just put them together. The problem was that there are different maps in terms of their form because this is like a specific form of the maps. But there are different names for different maps. And so I had to, like, search for specific ones, like, long story short, and anyway, I was able to finally solve it to finally create this video. In terms of what I did, I did just a little bit of animations. Honestly, it's quite simple because I just have like one guy, one plane. These are just images. And then these countries are from the SVJFle. And then these paths that you can see on the screen is just a simple path animation using the Pentl and then animating that, customizing that. And that's it. Yes, and then we have a bit of a text pop up. In terms of the colors, it's quite simple. You put like a fill on top of the layer, or you can customize the layer itself. Let's just double check where we have, for example, Russia. We need to find it on the screen. This Russia, yes. So let's see what's animated. We just animate the color, which is within the layer itself. It's super easy to do. And we want nothing more interesting. That's how this video was created and then just went to to File Export, or I added a shortcut, which is my case option E, and it adds it to drain to Q, and that's it. And then this video was just ready to be taken to Premiere Pro, add a little bit of sound effects, and then post it, and that's it literally nothing more. Now, here's an example of a long form video, and let me show you the file organization. Ignore this image, image, image, and this one. So take a look at thumbnail, script, downloads, then PR, AE, Exports, and voice. So kind of similar, just the organization still wasn't perfect, where I was trying to figure this stuff out. And this is what this video looks like. Unfortunately, I cannot show you kind of the whole video and what the video is about the thumbnail and give you link because I'm testing something out. Basically, there was a guy who I've been following kind of had the same issue where he had a channel in one language, then he went into USA and tried to start a channel in another language. But he told these people to watch content in English. So these people watched that content, but then the content was recommended to the original audience, and those were, like, Russian people. He was trying to build an English channel. So what he had to do is he had to not show this channel to anyone, the English one. He didn't show it, and then that channel got the results. So that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm not showing to anyone what this channel is. It's just one of the things that you can see on the screen is I'm going to show it to you without scrolling down. So I have very specific type of editing and videos, and have overlay from 11 labs, sorry, not overlay, but the audio. And then I have music here, lots of sound effects, and captions, and then obviously a ton of visual overlay. This is what this video looks like. The way I organize in the raw, I have the sequence and the 11 labs. In the bin, I have all the visuals. And then I add sound effects right in the very end, so I don't put them in the folder, and this should be here. Like so that's kind of it. I didn't take this video into after effects, even though I created a folder for after effects, it's empty because I thought maybe I'll take it to use some of the stuff, but actually, I didn't really need. It's all done in premiere. So this is kind of the process that I'm testing out right now. We'll see the results in a couple of months, but this is where I'm at with this right now. So, if there are any specific questions, let me know, other than that, I'll see you in the next video. 16. Organize Project Files Like a Pro for Speed & Clarity: Welcome. In this video, I want to talk about file organization. There are a couple of things that we can organize files. We can organize the files themselves within different folders, and then we can organize folders. Let's talk about both. First of all, whenever I create a video, I have this template folder, which is, for example, it's an empty template. And whenever I want to use it, I just press in command D or Control D and going into duplicate it. And here, I have a number of different things. I have download thumbnails, voice, voiceo from 11 Labs, Exports, after effects, Premiere Pro, and Script. Oh, the first thing I do is I put the scripts here, and then I go to generate the voice. And the reason why I have it organized like this because if things are not organized, you might lose one file, and then it will take you like five, 10 minutes to find one file. And that five 10 minutes that can cost a lot in terms of mental effort, in terms of financial effort, time effort as well. So I always try to keep things organized. And a couple of tips on organization. I use emojis, as you can see, it's very easy to do on Mac. You just have to press Control Command space, and then you can add an emoji. On Windows, I'm not sure if you can add emojis, but you can definitely use colors, which is something you can do on Mac, as well. And in some of the folders, I use something like, for example, like a red color by pressing command. So you have shortcuts on Mac, Control one, two, five with different colors, and when you're going to find your settings. So this is going to Control one, Control two, three, four and five. This is just for Mac users. For Windows users, if you don't have it already built into Windows automatically, it's going to be definitely a feature in the future. But for now, you can download third party apps that will allow you to customize your folders. You can also put certain icons on the folders, as you can say I have something like it is here, like this flat folder. You can do that with third party apps on Windows, as well. Now, another important aspect is the a folder called downloads because whenever I download something from the Internet, I will just keep it in the downloads folder. But whenever I'm finished with that project, I will put all of that stuff, all of those like 100, 200 files in the downloads folder. Why do it in this specific ways? Because if I have to move every single file to this folder first, it's going to take too much time. It's too. Let's say you are in Premiere and you move certain file, it will ask you to redirect the path to that file because Premiere will lose let's say it's going to be in the downloads in your original downloads folder, and then you move it to another folder downloads. Premiere will lose track of the folders of the files. You'll have to direct it. And because you have to direct it to 100 different files, you just put it in one folder and it finds all the other files automatically. So super convenient another super important aspect is when you go to Premiere Pro and you create a new project, for example, automatically, you put it to something like a default folder, documents premiere Adobe Premiere Pro, and then whatever this is for you. I put it in a very specific folder, and I know that the project files associated with the project are going to be in the folder. Let me give you a couple of examples. This is one of the examples where this is Premiere Pro. This is the project file. I have all the auto saves here and motion graphic templates, everything here. Do it in the default folder because I'll show you the way it's organized. This is how it's organized. So you have your project files at the bottom, and then you have auto saves. I have 29 auto saves for the project that we worked on. This entitle project is the one that we worked on with you. Imagine you have 100 different files here. First of all, it's going to be hard to find them because they're going to be all just in one dump. But then you'll have all autosaves in one folder as well. And if you're looking for specific autosave, if let's say premier crushed or you just want to go to specific autosave or just the saved file, it will take you forever to find that. Trust me, because I had a problem before. I used the same approach, and at some point, I had over 3,000 autosaves and imagine searching for a specific autosave, which is organized in a way where it's like the name of the file and then some numbers, and then the dates, and it is so inconvenient. So that's why I really recommend you to just organize it. Like so save premiere project file here, another one here. Then for the exports, it's quite straightforward. So that's how I organize my files to keep things consistent and organized. If there are any questions, let me know. But other than that, I'll see you in the next video. 17. Essential Premiere Pro Presets to Save Editing Time: Welcome. In this video, let's talk about presets. Presets is basically saved effects that will save you a ton of time. Because instead of applying certain effects and then putting certain settings every single time, you can just apply once, and then instead of doing once again, you can just search for the preset applied and it's going to apply those. Let's say you save ten effects, it's going to apply ten effects with the same settings that you saved. Let me show you how to do it in a premiere. So for example, this is going to be our video, and we have this color mat, and we can apply all sorts of stuff. We can search for effects for something like transform. That's and search for it. And then if I go into Effects Control panel, I can click and transform and I can, for example, skill down a little bit. We can skew it up and what else? Let's not sure if we have something like rain. So we have noise and grain, and let's increase the amount. Perfect. Okay, so this is what we have. And in order to save any sort of preset, we have to go into the effect Control panel. Select the effects that we want to save. This is really important. So if we want to save the transform and the noise, we can save that. But if we want to save the motion and the opacities well, we need to select that as well. So to select two at the same time, we want to press transform and then press command, and it's going to select one and two. I want to select this as well. Once again, remember to select it. If not, just click Wt again, it's going to deselect it. This once we have the effect selected, right click Save Preset, let's call it untitled preset test. And I'm going to press nk. Now, whenever I go into presets, we are going to have it here entitled preset test. So let's come to our color mat that wasn't touched, and let's just apply our preset and perfect. It's just going to have exactly the same oh, that's how you do it in premiere. As you can see, I have let's take a look. Not all of these are mine. For example, this ISAC is not mine, the mosaic, don't think it's mine. Motion presets is not mine. Other than that, everything is this is not mine as well. Other than that, these are all the presets that I saved for different things that I needed at the time. Sometimes you may want to delete presets. So right click, delete and just delete. It's simple sometimes when you save presets, specifically with keyframes, it will ask you, or you can set this parameter to start the keyframe based on the beginning of the video or the end of the video. So let me give you a quick example. For example, I want to take this video, which is going to be just me kind of preparing to record the video, and then I have one of the presets where just shrink from big to small. And you will see that it's just kind of a transform animated with, I believe it's like a mask or something like that. So if I right click and then preset properties, it will ask about the time. So it's good. You can set scale, anchor to in point, anchor to outpoint. And because I have this one set to in, let's double check. So this one is set to in. It means that it will place the key frame based on the very beginning of based on where the video starts, basically. And you can see here that on the very first frame, we have a key frame, and then after that, just decreases in size. By the way, you see this effect all the time in the very beginning of the videos when I start speaking to the camera. And then let's say I cut this, and then I want to remove attributes and then I can set it to grow and preset properties. This one is set to outpoint. It means that it's going to paste the keyframe, which is going to be here, these keyframes, it's going to paste those based on the end of the clip. So you can see, there's nothing in the very beginning. It's just going to be based on the end. And at the end, I'm just growing back in size to fit the screen. And if there are any specific questions, you can always let me know, but it should be straightforward. And if you cannot really get it from the first try, just play around with a little bit, try to understand the system. It's going to really help you because in the future, you'll be able to use it. But of course, you are always welcome to reach out. Now, going to after effect, it's a very similar thing. Let's say we apply an effect. Let's see what we have here. So let's apply something like black and white effect onto our steak. There you go. Became black and white. Now, I'm going to select it and then come to the effects and presets, right click Save emision preset, and then you need to save it in a folder. So the process is slightly different. All you have to do is to save it on the user presets, but I think this folder is opened automatically. If not, you can just always search for it on your computer. If not, just ask JGPTTGPT is really going to help you out with this. It's a very similar process, then you press and save. And whenever you go to animation presets, user presets, these are going to be the presets that you save. Now, the process is very similar. Once it's saved, just go ahead and, like, apply or let's try this one out. Okay, so this is like a glow. If you want to delete sermPreset from after effects, all you have to do is selecting preset and then right click here once again and then reveal in finder and it's going to reveal that preset in finder, go ahead and delete it from there or like in folder, not in fider. Depends on if you use Windows or Mac, and it's a very similar process. So if there are any specific questions, please let me know. But other than that, let's jump into the next video. 18. How to Use Templates to Speed Up YouTube Video Production: Now another believable tool that will save you a ton of time when creating these videos is templates. Specifically, I'm talking about mogurt. It's motion graphic templates. You can create these Mgarts in both Premiere Pro and in after effects. But here's an important thing to keep in mind is that a mogart that you create in after effects can only be used in Premiere Pro. And the mogart that you can creating Premiere Pro can only be used in Premiere Pro. So we can only use Moorts in Premiere Pro. Having said that, let me show you how to create it. So let's say we want to create some sort of graphic. I'm going to draw something on the screen, and then I'm going to create something like a circle and another circle. And I'm all drawing this all within graphic layer. I'm drawing different shapes. And let's create maybe let's use a pentel to create, like, a smile or something like that. Now we just have to find and move all of these things around, and let's have the eyes strike click Export as motion graphic template, give it a name, save it in your local template folder, and press new game. It's going to take some time because I'm recording this video. I'm not able to show you how to save it in real time, because it just doesn't love some. If you going into graphic templates, which you can find by going into Window, graphic templates in the local templates folder, this is the folder, and then you'll have your templates here. Everything you see above, everything that's highlighted in blue and above, that's from an extension called captioner that helps create captions in Premiere Pro, like animate captions. So it's not something that I created. But what I created is arrows, super useful. So instead of me having to recreate arrows with this specific yellow color, I can just drag and drop it. Then rectangle stroke just to highlight something. Then we have a highlight, which is actually animated. So there you go. And then if I want to, I can just make it a little bit smaller, like decrease the scale, for example, and then it highlights the text on the screen super, super useful instead of me having to recreate every single time. Then this was for a series where I was creating a business from scratch, so I had to create a mogart to reuse every single time. And an arrow animation is just a black arrow appearing on the screen. This black arrow, it's actually a video that let's say you create a graphic. So you can create any sort of graphic just here, and then let's go into properties. So just select the shape, delete it, press and delete. And then you can add a new layer from file and then search for the video file, and then it's just going to appear as simple as that and then save it, and then it's going to save. And you don't have to have that file on your computer anymore. You can completely delete it, but premiere is going to save it in premiere file. It comes to after effects, it's a little bit more complex, but it's not rocket science, so let's quickly do it. I'm going to create new composition very quickly. Let's create some sort of animation. So I'm going to text animation, and I'm going to put it right in the middle. And I'm going to let's search for effect, I'm going to show you what this is a little bit later. Let's search for glow, make the text a little bit bigger on the screen. I'm going to put it right in the middle. Perfect. And let's apply something like a typewriter, fact, text animation. Perfect. So in order to have this sort of animation happen in Premiere Pro, need to go into essential graphics in this panel, and then we have to just drag all sorts of properties in this panel. And whatever properties we drag here, we will be able to customize and premiere pro as simple as that. So if we forget something, we will have to do it again. It's not a problem at all. It just takes a little bit of time. Let's do the text. So for example, source text, let's drop it here. Mm hmm. So one of these is going to be a name and the other one just the name of the property. The other one is going to be like the actual text on the screen. So let's try. Okay. So if I change this text, it's going to be different. Yes, perfect. So the right one is going to be the actual text, text. Open the transform. So let's change the position, the scale of the text so that we can scale our text later in Premiere Pro. So for this, it's going to be text and then position and scale. Yeah, it should be good. Actually, I'm not sure if we'll need it, but let's drop the start. Like so. Let's give it a name. What should we call it text. And let's export motion graphic template. We to save the file. Let's save it on desktop and click on Okay. Potentially, it's not going to save because I'm recording this video, but let's see if it does. It did. It saved the Mogod to to the local template folder. And now, because I'm premiere, I can just drag and drop it here. It's going to take some time to load it, and we should have it on the screen, but we don't probably because we need to change the resolution to 1080 by 1920. See if we have it, we don't is interesting. That means something went wrong. So potentially let's get rid of that. Save local templates folder file already exists, we will replace it. Perfect. Now, let's give it a try here. Mm hmm. I see. So because we have keyframes here, it's going to do exactly the same text animation. And now, if we go into properties which where we can customize the text itself, let's just say not animation, but like clouds, for example. And it's going to spell the word clouds. And if you're going to di properties, enable font, font size, and you can enable styles, you can actually just customize it here. And if we do it again, person K just saved it. Let's come to premiere, come to six and put our text animation or new text animation, and let's go into properties. Now we can select the font, can select the different boldness of the font and things like that. Now, the interesting part is that you cannot put this mogart into after effects or these Mgarts and after effects because in after effects, there's really no Mgarts to use. It's just the way the system works. But it's very, very useful in Premiere Pro. If you have any questions, let me know. Other than that, I'll see you in the next video. 19. Keyboard Shortcuts That Make You Edit 3x Faster: Shortcuts. This is something we've already talked about and I showed you how to set shortcuts, but I'd love to dig a little bit deeper into this because it's such a huge topic that we didn't spend a lot of time talking about it. So whenever we are in Premiere Pro or After Effects, there's a number of shortcuts. In Premiere Pro, the shortcut to open shortcuts is Command option K on Windows, it should be very similar, which should be Control Alt K. So just go ahead and click that and you're going to have your shortcuts. You can search your own shortcuts or you can search for specific shortcuts. And one thing you do recommend is try to find patterns in the work that you do. If you find patterns, if you find things that you repeat every single time, then you can just press a button instead of doing a number of movements, then go ahead and search for that, set that, and it's going to save you a ton of time. So in order to search for a specific function, let's search for let's was properties, for example. Pro properties. So there's, like, a shortcut, properties window, right? You don't have that. I know for sure because this is a custom shortcut that I set for myself. You have something else. Potentially, it's like different camera angles by having different numbers. So if you click on like, one, two, three, four, five, you'll be able to change the different color the different angles of the camera. No, I don't port put cameras, so I don't really need that. So I just get rid of that, and then I put 44 properties. And then if I search four, let's double check. Effect, control, Effects, effects, window effect that's going to be for these effects, actually, and then effect controls, five. And then for effect, I have Command two. Let me quickly show you what all of this means. So if I present four, it's going to open properties. I five, it's going to open Effects control. If I present six, it's going to open graphic templates, seven, ometri color, eight, text, nine, essential sound, and zero, it's going to open this audio track mixer. Option one is going to open the project, if I present option two, it's going to open effects. So all of this is custom set over here. All you have to do is to search for a specific function or ask the GPT. Not all functions exist, unfortunately, but a lot of the things do. So go ahead and explore and try to find patterns. Now I want to show you one very important shortcut that I create for myself, which is that's probably what you have when you open Premiere Pro. You have these sliders here. In my opinion, it's like, unbelievably annoying. And so in order to not do this for every single track, I just have a shortcut, K, and then everything becomes just a lot smaller so that I don't have this very annoying line that influences the opacity. So let me show it to you here. So how do you do this? Well, you have to press in the very beginning, you'll have Command plus and shift plus. So when you open, you have something like this, you have to press in command minus and minus, literally command and minus the same with option or with lt, minus. That should be the size. Click here, Save Preset, give it a name, and then assign a keyboard shortcut. Or you can do this a little bit later. But you can set it to track height presets one. And when you come to manage presets, you can set a specific preset to specific shortcut. And then when you come to keyboard shortcuts, track height presets, search for specific height preset and then put a shortcut. In my case, it's K, J, and H. So K JH, and I can just switch between them unbelievably fast saves ton of time. There are small forcats here and there that I created, for example, if I want to get rid of all the attributes instead of right clicking and then I'm not even sure where this is at this point, remove attributes. So if you did some changes and you want to just revert back to zero, everything, you can remove attributes and then thing that you want to remove here, so you will remove motion, opacity, and time mapping. Again press in my case Control A, it's going to do the same thing. Or for example, setting different colors. Take a look I'm changing things with different colors. Just come here, search for purple. So Command one, then Command two have another color. It's like small shortcuts here and there, but honestly, it's my workflow. You should pay attention to the kind of workload that you have. Once you have proper workflow, you see the patterns, go ahead and use the shortcuts. When it comes to After Effects, a very similar situation, but in this case, you have to press Option command and then upper comma or just search for keyboard shortcuts. There is your shortcut. So there's a ton of very, very useful shortcuts and After Effects. For example, I will draw something and then I want it I want to fit it to the screen. I'll press Shift Option Command H is going to fit it horizontally. Shift option command G, is going to fit something vertically. Or in order to, for example, create something like a solid, it's going to be command Y, and I'm going to create a solid. Let me set another color so that you can properly see it. Option command Y, adjustment layer. Shift option command Y to add a null or Shift Option Command C to add a camera. It's like these small shortcuts, imagine like right clicking somewhere new, solid camera null, shape you see where I'm going with this. It saves so much time. It's a little bit absurd how much time it saves. And imagine using shortcuts, templates, presets. How much time does it save? Honestly, a lot. So really recommended to explore this. Obviously, if you have any questions, let me know, but other than that, I'll see you in the next video. 20. Use Premiere Composer for Faceless YouTube Videos: In this video, I want to introduce you to Mr. Horse. It's a website. It's like a specific product where you have two products. It's animation composer and then premiere composer. So one product is for After Effects, another one for Premiere Pro, super convenient. It's an unbelievable product. I have no affiliation with them. They're just really, really great. So just come to their website. Link is going to be in the resource section. It's very easy to install, whether you have Windows or Mac, go ahead and install it. Let me show you how to use it. You install it in Premiere, just go into Window Extensions Premiere composer. This is going to be the one. Also, motion deck is pretty good, but it's very similar to composer, and I think Composer has a bit more. If you want to install this one or take a look at it, it's really good. Anyway, premiere composer, click on it. It's going to appear somewhere, and I'm going to show you how to use natural effects as well. So you start to park. By the way, it's also free. You don't have to pay anything. There's a paid version, but on stage the free version is so good, I don't use the paid version. So we have all sorts of sounds. We can open this up. These are all the sounds that you can use. You're not going to hear any of the sounds because I'm wearing the headphones. But for example, if we were to select something, something like this, click on AD. It's going to add a sound as simple as sound. We have shape elements. If I click on it, like so, we can preview it. Social media stuff, a ton of all sorts of animations that were created after effects, a lot of them and then put into premiere. Transitions really good. Text presets fantastic as well. Take a look. There's a ton. Just explore this in your free time. I'm not going to go through every single one of them, but it's pretty straightforward. A ton of stuff here. Whatever you like, just click on AD. Select the Click on AD and then you can customize it. A lot of the times you can also customize it in the properties tab. So for example, transform, you have the exact same transform at the bottom, or at the top, you can change the text you can do here. In terms of the color, we can see it's pretty similar. It is a little bit better, I would say, to do it in premier composer just because it was created through the premier composer. So it's just a little bit better there. Sometimes you don't have some of the options in the property. No, this saves honestly just once again, an unbelievable amount of time. I use it every single week. For sound effects, I use it mostly for sound effects. Sometimes I use it for other stuff, but it's really, really, really, really, really good. In after effects, we do the same thing, Window extensions, or in this case, there you go. Animation composer, you can see it has some other stuff like ink point, more keyframe actions. We click on it. It's going to this thing is going to appear basically. Now, with premiere composer here or in this case, animation composer, it's a similar thing where we have transitions. Have typography, animation presets, graphic templates, sounds as well, although people who do sounds and after effects if you do sounds and after effects, good luck to you. I prefer to do it in Premiere Pro. Nothing gets that. I just don't do it. It's way easier to do in after effects based on my workflow. And anyway, if you like something that's added onto the screen, let me and there you go. The text just appears. Let's delete all the other stuff. Text appears, super simple. It's kind of similar. Some of the things are slightly different between this one and one in Premiere Pro. So like, most of the stuff is similar, so you can reuse it in just a really, really useful tool that I want to mention. If there are any specific questions about it, you can let me know, or you can explore the website a little bit more. So if we scroll down, this is what we have. We don't have this in the free version. I believe this is paid version with all sorts of stuff here, but you should definitely explore yourself and see what works with your workflow and what kind of videos you want to create. So if there are any questions, let me know. Other than that. I'll see you in the next video. 21. Speed Up Your Workflow with FX Console in After Effects: This video, I want to quickly mention another super useful tool, which is an Effects console by VOC palette, another free tool. This tool is specifically for After Effects, and it's basically like this panel that appears on the screen that you've already seen use. And instead of having to search for effects by going into, in this case, horizontal effects and then search for specific effect, all we can do is just click a specific button combination and then search for a glow and we are going to have some sort of effect appear on the screen. It's that simple. Also, this kind of takes a bit of space. This ex and press panel. You don't have to have it. Like, I can even close it from here. This tool is free. Once you install it, I do recommend you to go into I don't even remember where it's located, but let's search for Effex Console. So it's located in Window and Effex Console. There you go. Let's click on settings. You can set a shortcut for yourself. In my case, it's shift and space. Then you can set a dark mode or a light mode. You can also save screenshots if you want to. But I don't really use this feature, to be honest. All I use it for is to search for all sorts of different just effects. With the presets that you save, let's see here. So I have my user presets. Let me delete this glow, and I will search for glow for text, and other stuff. And this one is also mine. As you can see, it's in the presets. So if I apply it, it adds the effect glow with very specific numbers. So 655, and it's just one of the things that I had to do for one of the clients that I had in the past. Some other tools that are paid, but will be super, super useful. If you do any sorts of text animations, this one is actually for free. You can search for text Evo. You will see that it says that it's paid, but you can actually set your own price of $0 and add to card. This one is free by A E script, and then another one is depth plugin AE. This one is free as well. It basically allows you to place things in three digging After Effects. You can research this tool. It's like a quite niche tool, but it's super useful. Another one is called flow After Effect. This tool is pretty good because it basically allows you to control the smoothness of the keyframes. It's this tool here. Basically, you have two keyframes, you can just control the movement, and then you can customize it to your liking to whatever you want. And then you can go ahead and applys really, really cool, really fast. If there are any specific ones that you'd like to share, please share them in the Qin section below. Other than that, if there's any specific questions, you should also let me know. Other than that, see you in the next video. 22. Congratulations!: Congratulations. If you're watching this, it means you've made it halfway through the course content. I know we've covered a lot, so congratulations to you for making to this point. And there's a lot more valuable content coming soon, but before we get to the next video, I want to simply ask you if you found value in this program up until this point, it takes 60 seconds to leave you honest review. Of course, I will immensely appreciate this and feedback will massively help future students in deciding the best program for them. So leave you feedback now. And of course, if there's anything I can help you with, please let me know in the Q&A section below. You're doing great. Keep going. And without being said, let's get to the next video. 23. Create Scroll-Stopping Thumbnails Using ChatGPT + Canva: Now that we've edited our video, make sure we can systematically create it, let's go ahead and create it thumbnail. And there are two ways that we're going to explore one with Canva, the other one with Photoshop. The system is very simple. All we have to do is to generate main parts using AI, using GPT or Hicks field AI, which I'm going to show you both and just put it together in some like Canva. Although the AI tools can potentially generate it from scratch and until the very end. I still think that putting it together and making sure things are precise what matters with ALS. So first of all, let's take a look at our examples, our competitors, and what exactly they do. So we have a couple of examples. This is about sport. This is about economics, and this is about sport, as well. This is a new channel that I actually found today that I didn't know existed, but it turns out it does. From what I've seen here, it seems to me that the very best example would be this one, which is a monkey showing the banana. The reason is because if we take a look at our video, we have a monkey, and then we have something like a steak because our channel is about cooking. Now, if I was to do it through Canva, I would, first of all, just go to canva.com. Go ahead and create your profile. It's super simple. Then go ahead and click on Create. Then let's search for YouTube thumbnail, and it will give you, like, a blank Canvas. And here, a couple of things we can do. First of all, obviously, we can just drag and drop things here, like, drop the monkey here. We can select the monkey, make them a little bit bigger, place it on screen. We just want to make sure it's kind of similar to what we have from our competitors. However, we can see very interesting pattern here is when the arm is going a little bit up, and this is what I want to generate with AI because if we take a look at this fist, it looks slightly different. So let's go ahead and ask ChatGPT to generate it or regenerate it. Hey, ChatGPT, this is a monkey that we need to recreate for a YouTube thumbno. Specifically, I will send you an example. This is a competitor example. Take a look. And you can see that the monkey is holding a banana. That's the competitor. You can see their arm is almost like going up. So what I need you to do is to do not touch our monkey, which is our monkey chef with the chef hat. Do not change it aside from changing its arm. So you want to make sure that the arm is going up, and it's right next to its face. Like, it's on the same level as the pace. Go ahead and generate that. Okay. This one is sent, and we'll see which one performs better. Recently, I discovered Hicksfeld AI, which is a very, very powerful AI tool. And one thing you can do here is if you go into image, create an image, all I'm going to do is to drop our image over here, and then let's tell it what to do. We can actually just copy this prompt, and this looks a little bit weird. Let's give instructions, et between then jump into Higgsfield. Okay, you've done a great job. Now, instead of a banana, we need a stake in the hand, or, let's say, not necessarily in the hand, but above the hand. And we need it to be placed roughly in the same way as the example monkey is because we're going to zoom in and it's going basically it needs to be, like, the face on left side and the arm on the right side with a stake. Hand drawn hand drawn steak. I'll send you the steak example as well. Make sure to use the red steak and make sure to have it on a white background. Not sure why generated this weird color. But anyway, let's come back to Higgsfield. Let's copy this prompt. Instead of ChatGPT, we're going to delete it. Let's make a screenshot, like so, and go to Higgsfield upload the screenshot. Let's just add generate generate the mank holding a steak. And let's give it a try. So we are going to use nano banana Pro. It's really, really good for generating really realistic images. So this is what I generated in the past. The quality is just unbelievably good. Anyway, while doing that, let's check with ChatGPT what is done. Actually, this isn't bad. It's definitely very different from this one in terms of the style. It's like this one is sort of like three D, almost like too good looking. But I love to see what kind of results we generate with Higgsfield AI. Well, Hicksfeld just in case, if you want to explore this, Hicksville is basically a platform that combines lots of different AI solutions into one. So it has if we go into images, I'm pretty sure it has HAPT somewhere over here where we can generate through HADPT. But it has all sorts of other AI models that work really well. I definitely know that for video, it has Sora too. SR two is a platform by Open AI. So by ChatGPT it's connected to ChatGPT. So, for example, it has this here, but then it has lots of other stuff, as you can see on the screen. So if you want to check it out, there's going to be a link in the resource section. Okay, here's what we have. Let's see which one we prefer more. This monkey is definitely very different from this monkey, even in terms of the colors. Like it's a lot darker around the face. Hmm, give me a master prompt for this thumbnail. Okay, there you go. I'm just going to copy, pace it here and click on Generate. Basically, what master prompt is whenever you want to use it is whenever you've completed something, you can ask for a master prompt of something, and then it will tell you, instead of, for example, me combining these two messages, AI just combines everything I told it and it generates a prompt that will generate this final result by just having one prompt instead of two. Let's wait and let's see for the result. Comes to thumbnails, another thing I'd like to share with you is what I like to do is, I like to take a screenshot of the page, for example, and then I will go to a thumbnail. I will upload it here, make this fit the screen to make sure it's full size. I like to, let's say, go to ChatGPT, save image as it's called in image. And then I can go ahead and upload the image here, make it a little bit smaller in size, and let's do it, like so. Then I put it as if it is a thumbnail and I see, is it clickable? If it is, then that's great. If it's not, then I need to change something. In this case, it actually looks pretty good. Like, what ChatGPT did is really, really good. If we zoom in, I like it. I really do. Also, I think it becomes a little bit interesting and it's slightly different from these ones because the edges do not the monkey doesn't touch the edges, and so it's almost like floating in space. There's no connection left or at the bottom, which is great. Let's check with Higgsfield AI. Let's download this one, and let's come here and load it. Let's make it smaller. Something like so. Okay. And here we just need to decide whichever looks best. Obviously, it's slightly different. We can see the difference in the marbling and the colors, and the monkey's all slightly different. Great question. This one does seem a lot more professional. I cannot even tell why, but there's one thing YouTube, which we can do is like thumbnail testing, and we can test which thumbnail performs better. And so with our title, which we will generate in the future, we can just which everyone's going to perform better. If we were to add some sort of text, for example, we have a couple of texts on the screen sometimes, like, as you can see here, for some of these videos, or if we go into this one, we have some text, as well. It's super simple. If we were to do it in Canva, so let me delete this one. Put this one here, for example, let's make it full screen, and we can add text, add a text box. Let's write steak, and let me close this. Let's make it a lot bigger. And let's say, put it something like so. So you can easily add text, and based on your needs, based on what kind of taminos you create, I recommend you exploring some of these tools. It's very simple. It's very intuitive. I just recommend you to spend 5 minutes familiarizing yourself with the tools. But this looks really good. If I was to change font, I would go here, and I would search for something like actually we can search for hand drawn fonts, Canva. You should probably have like yes. So like an article 0N their website. So handwritten, and we can search for hand steak. Yeah, this is kind of in the style. This This looks good. Maybe we should make the monkey just a bit smaller pops and then move the steak here. Can try it like so. But this looks pretty good. We can also check in the future if the word is worth putting or we should just do as simple as monkey with steak. Then all you have to do is to go into Share, download, and download. If you have a free version of Canva, you can only download in 1080 by 720. But because the thumbnails are so small on YouTube, it's actually not a problem at all. So just go ahead and click on Download and it's going to download, and there you go. This is our thumbnail, which we are ready to use for YouTube. If there are any questions, let me know, other than that, I'll see you in next video. 24. Recreate High-CTR Thumbnails in Photoshop with AI Help: My software choice is Photoshop. And if we were to create some Photoshop, we would open Photoshop, click on New file, and then what I do is I usually do 1920 by 1080300 PPI, and I'm going to click on Create. So this is the resolution. This is the proper resolution of YouTube thumbnails. It's exactly the same process where we generate some sort of, like, an image, or if we go into TPT here, just generate an image, then drop it in Photoshop. So let's just drop it like so. And let's lower it down a little bit because it's not necessarily perfect 1920 by 1080, but it's not a problem at all. Photoshop is quite straightforward, very similar to Premiere Pro and After Effects because it's by Adobe. And so we have a list of tools here on left, which is very convenient. For example, if a present T, it's going to open the text tool, which is, once again, very similar to After Effects and Premiere Pro. Then we can write some clique. Text, steak, and then we can change the color to that was black. We can make it, let's say, a little bit bigger, steak. Perfect. And why don't we make it just a little bit smaller, something like that? Put it there, and then we can change the font to whatever we like from the fonts that we have. Now, what I like about Photoshop is that it has a lot more functionality than Canva, and it is on computer, so you don't necessarily have to have access to the Wi Fi. One of my favorite things about this is having like layer style. So if I double click on the layers, it gives me all sorts of different style options that I can customize. If we're talking about the steak, for example, we can add a bit of a stroke or like, inner shadow or we can add some sort of pattern or we can drop shadow or we can do an outer glow, which can be in all sorts of different colors, you get the idea. We have a number of tools on the left, which are unbelievably useful. These tools are also straightforward and very logical in a way. So, for example, we have this rectangle marquee tool or like a selection tool. Basically, I can select something with it. Like, I can select this monkey, and then I need to select the layer with the monkey, and we can layer via copy. And then I can disable the monkey at the bottom, and we just kind of copied this monkey to the top. Very simple. Then we have a selection brush tool which allows us to select a little bit more, and we can create, for example, like a mask by pressing this button, another quick selection tool where we can select certain parts and select it based on, like, based on the patterns. So once again, regular copy and just copy it in this very specific way. So just different ways to select certain things. Then we can crop and do it like so super useful. And there's also like a pen tool, like a brush tool, like a gradient tool. The gradient tool is also very interesting how it works in Photoshop. Obviously, this isn't like a proper Photoshop course. And if there's something very specific, once again, I really recommend ChatGPT HGIPT and Photoshop is like with Photoshop, it's unbelievably good. You just tell it to, Hey, this is what I'm going for. This is what I need to achieve, and it'll tell you step by step on how to do it. I use ChatGPT with Photoshop probably every couple of days because I need to create something in Photoshop. And there's oftentimes something new that I have to create. So I just use ChatGPT as my personal assistant all the time, especially with Photoshop. Then whenever you want to export into going into File Export, export Quick Export as B&G will make the file bigger, but we need to go into Export As, and then just make sure to click smaller because YouTube requires thumbnails don't have a very huge size. So click on Export, then just save it somewhere on the desktop in my case, and let's double check. There you go. This is our proper thumbnail. So if there are any specific questions, let me know, but other than that, I'll see you in the next video. 25. Create & Optimize Your YouTube Channel (Step-by-Step): After we create our video, and create our thumbnails, we need to upload our video, but before we do that, we need to create the channel. So let me show you two ways that you can create your channel. If this is your first channel, then when you go to YouTube, somewhere like a homepage, I'm not using this account. That's why it's empty. But all you need to do is to go into the top right corner, click on YouTube studio, and it will ask you to create an account. It's good to become a YouTube channel where you can post because right now you can really post. If you click on Uploaded video, it's asking me to create. Channel. What happens if you already have a channel? Well, that's slightly different story where we to click on our profile and then go into settings. Here you need to click on add or manage your channels. And from here, click on create a channel, and here give it a name, give it a handle, and then click on Create. By the way, if you don't have YouTube account, just go ahead and create like Google account first, and then you will have access to what I've just shown you. So if you have any questions, let me know that I'll see you the next video. 26. Design a High-Impact Avatar: Now that your channel is created, we need to upload a proper Avatar picture. It's basically this one in the top left corner or the one that you see when you click on the profile. So if I click here, this is the one that we need. In this case, we need to go into customization at the left, and we need to change this picture Avatar picture. Well, in order to generate that, you can ask ChatGPT to help you with that. In this case, we can actually go ahead and click on change because I already have one. And for example, we can use the monkey that we generated in the past. We can make this pace a little bit smaller to fit it to the screen. And actually, let's double check what our competitors do. Mm hmm. So that's the one. And then we are going to have something like this. Click on Done, and that will be complete. If you have any questions, let me know, and that's you in the next video. 27. Create a Branded YouTube Banner: Next step after the main picture would be this background banner picture. And it is slightly different from what you see over here, because if we opened up in the same space in the customization of our channel, we have one picture for computer, for mobile, and then for TV as well for three different plays, and the size of this picture needs to be a lot bigger. Well, you can also ask AI to generate that, and I would recommend you to go to your competitors and get inspired by them. What do they do? So Epstetics is comparing themselves to Arnold Schwarzenegger. We can also search for app economics to see what those guys do take a look. Monkey business. Okay, very simple. So whatever you like, just take a screenshot, upload it to ChatGPT the same we can do here. And then once you upload, just upload one of the images. In this case, let's do Lo you will see that you will need to customize what is viewable on what device. So this is on all devices, this is desktop, and this is TV. So whatever you like, just go ahead and select, click on Done, and the step will be complete. If you have any questions, let me know, let's jump to the next video. 28. Write a Strong Channel Description: When it comes to description of a YouTube channel, which is if you click here, it's this description, for example, this is what Mr. Beast has. I found that it needs to be pretty simple and it can be customized to your liking. There's no specific format that it uses, for example, this part, you can get rid of this part and you can get rid of this part as well and just leave subscribe for a cookie. It's going to be enough because if we take a look at primate economics, for example, explain money with banana. And then oftentimes when description is used to get access to you, to get to your links to more of your content to your emails for, like, sponsorships, fan mail, and for mystery Bess as well, we can scroll down, find their email or find links to other channels as well or to the Linktree. Anyway, you get the idea. So you can also get inspired by your competors ask HPT to generate it or just write something for fun. What I did for both of my Faceless YouTube channels is I just wrote what this channel is about. One channel was explaining geographic videos in, like, simple animated videos or explaining geography in simple animated videos, something. That one. I'm not able to share with you guys yet. Overall, we should just think, Okay, what purpose does it serve? In case of Mr. Best, we can see that he has his other social media platforms just advertise there. Advertisement is a great way. You can put affiliate links in description, and if we were to do it, all we have to do is to go into the same customization. And then in description, just go ahead and put whatever you want to put there. And then for the links, for example, like a 30 day free trial on Skillshare, and then just put a link and just going to appear on the page. Let me show it to you. Here. So this is one of the links that I have here, for example, on this channel that I don't use anymore, but it's just something that I did in the past. Specifically, why I put this one here is because I have a referral link to this website, and whenever people click, it's just one of the ways how this channel can be monetized, for example. If there are any specific questions, let me know that I'll see you in the next video. 29. Verify Your Channel With Phone and ID for Monetization: In order to use advanced features on YouTube, like uploading a thumbnail or relating your video to another video, like, you know, there's sometimes an option to relate your video and put a link to another video. In order to do that, you need to verify your channel with your mobile phone. In order to do that, you need to go into settings, channel, feature eligibility, and let's take a look here. So whenever you create a channel, this is what you're going to have. But then in order to go further, you do need to verify with your phone. With shorts, you don't have to verify it right away because you are able to upload shorts without any limitations. However, if you want to upload custom thumbnails or as I told you before, relate to another video, is verified with the phone so. All you have to do is to click and then put a specific number of your phone I will say that sometimes this doesn't work for some phone numbers, and what you have to do is to ask your friends if it doesn't work or ask people that you know in other countries, and it should work. I did have a couple of issues with my phone number with my primary phone number, and then I had to use a phone from another country. And it's important to know that you can verify up to two accounts with one phone number per year. So if you want to do more, you will not be able to do that. Limit to two. And then once you verify this, you know to use advanced features, like all of the other stuff, you need to verify with video, with ID or with channel history. You can definitely go ahead and read the explanation by YouTube. In order to verify, it's very simple, just record a video yourself or take a picture of your ID with yourself. They explain step by step exactly how to do it. But in order to have this done, you need to have this done first. So verify it with your phone and then go ahead and do this video or ID verification, and then you'll be able to use all the features from YouTube and Perfect. If you have any questions, let me know that. See you next video. 30. Generate SEO-Friendly YouTube Titles with AI Tools: Now, when it comes to creating titles, it's a very similar story where we need to take a look at competitors. In this case, we can see a very good pattern, which is the topic explained with bananas. The topic explained with banans. All you have to change here is the name of the topic. How to buy house, explain it with bananas. So whatever your video is, we should use that. In the case of our video, it's like, how to cook a steak. In this case, it's not explained with bananas, but explained by an ape, for example, because if we take a look at let's search for apesisEplained by explained by ape. In this case, you can see the format, right? It's different channels, different people, but the format is the same for the title. Topic explained with bananas or explained by ape. In this case, we can use explained by ape or if we take a look at Monkey Explains. We have another one, like a gorilla. Take a look at what they do. Interesting. So we have an ape explaining all sorts of you different stuff. Using bananas. So this channel is, like, very well, look, it's like, all over the place and weird, but you get the idea. They still use, like, explained with bananas. The Microsoft MonopolEplaint with bananas. If I was to use, I would actually use the previous example, which is this one explained by Ape because we have an ape on screen, and or you know, explained with steaks. For example, that could be another one. In the case our video, it would be how to cook a steak explained by Ape. That's all. That would be the name of the video. Take a look. Analyze. If you are having struggle to analyze the title, you can ask ChatGPT about this. Just take a screenshot. So, Upload it to ChatGPT. Analyze and find patterns in titles of these videos and tell me the findings. Let's see what it does. Two, specific desire explained by Abe. Yeah, exactly. How two, how two, how two? Perfect. This one's a little different, but it's very similar still. So this is a pattern, and then you can ask HDPT to generate that. Okay, JTPT, where are creating video on how to cook a steak? Can you generate a title based on your findings? Don't ask, can it? Just tell it to generate a title based on your findings. How to cook the perfect steak explained by Abe or the opposite, talking about the negatives, how to never ruin a stake. Perfect. Once you do that, let's jump into the next video and start uploading our video. 31. How to Upload a YouTube Video the Right Way (Metadata, Tags, Description): At this point, we have all the puzzle pieces to finish this puzzle. That would be to upload a video. So whenever you are on YouTube, on Desktop, to go into the top recording, click on upload a video, and then we to upload a video that we export it, for example, this video, let's go ahead and upload it. Then here, we just put our title how totally let's look at the formatting that they use aesthetics. So they do use a title case. It's when every single word starts with a title case. So that's what we into do as well. How Let's yes, how to a perfect steak in B? Just go ahead and copy it from JTPTHo to cook the perfect steak explained by Abe. Now, here, we need to upload our thumbnail. Order to upload the custom thumbnail, we need to verify it with the phone. The channels not verified, so I'm not able to do that. And obviously, for Shortfm content, you don't even need to do that. For Shorto content, it's actually a little bit better to upload it from your phone because on a desktop, you are not able to choos a thumbnail. On your phone, you are able to choose a frame as a thumbnails. Can also do AB testing. In order to do that, obviously, we need to verify phone number. But the AB testing is basically when we can compare different thumbnails. So remember, we had a number of different thumbnails. We had one generated by PT, another one generated by Higgsfield, and we would be able to compare whichever one performs better by just uploading the two, and then YouTube will automatically test it out, and it will give us the final result and tell us which one performs better, and then whichever one performs better, it's going to automatically use that one in the future. So that's how you can test it out. Just click on AB testing and then upload the second and in the very beginning, I do recommend you to wait until you get all the checkmarks. So you have no issues found. So it means that there is no copyright issues. The video is processing up to HD, it's completed. So the video is now in good quality because if you post it in bad quality, it's going to be in bad quality. It's like in 360, so it's going to be bad. Then you should say whether it's made for kids or not. Usually, it's not made for kids. Then you can go ahead and explore all the other settings. Pay promotion, if you have one, you can click on it. You can invite a collaborator. You can add different tags. Tags are not as important as they were before. As you can see, it's only useful if somebody is commonly misspelling it. Otherwise, tags play a minimal role in helping viewers find your video. If there are any specific satings you want to say here, it's welcome into going into video elements, and you can add video elements. For example, like the video at the very end so that people can click on it. And I would just add it to some like the then shorten this up as much as possible so that it doesn't compete with the video, and you want to make sure it doesn't appear just like randomly in middle of the video. You want to make sure it's just the shortest part there at the end and just click on Save. And if you customize it, so this is going to be like best for your and it means that YouTube will automatically decide which one is better to shop. And then this is just like a subscribe button. If you want, you can add your own element like video playlist, subscribe channel or a specific link. And then at the end, if this one is still in process, it's going to be best to set it as unlisted because once you get monetized, YouTube will check if the video can be monetized or not. And then once all of this is complete, you can click on Save for now to keep it as unlisted all the checks are completed, go ahead and make it public, if not unlisted, and click on Save. And then you can close this. Then you go into content, and you will see that the visibility, it says that it is unlisted. So you just need to make it public and click on publish, and that's it. The video is going to be shown to people. And then all you have to do is wait for the views to come and then post another video and then another video, and then another one until you start seeing the results. So if you have any questions, let me know, and that let's jump into the next. 32. YouTube Monetization Basics: From Zero to Revenue: When it comes to monetizing YouTube channels, there are a couple of ways that you can do that, and let's see it right on YouTube. You need to go into Earn on your YouTube channel and scroll a little bit down. And there are two ways that you can monetize it. There's a faster way, which is start your journey and then continue to grow. So the very first one is when you can monetize with Superlks or with shopping, and the other one is when you monetize with YouTube partner program with Shorts ad or watch page ads. And this top one. These are the requirements. You need to have at least one thousandscribers, at least three video uploads in the last 90 days, and either 3,000 watchtime hours or 3 million short views in the last 90 days, this one is in the last 365 days. And if I score a little bit lower, I'll see that we need to have a bit more. Here, we need to have 4,000 time hours or 10 million short views. Now, in terms of the public watchtime hours, let's say your video is 10 minutes long, and on average, people watch five basically to divide 4,000 wast hours by 5 minutes. In this case, it's going to be 4,000 ort hours, divide by actually, let's say, just for the easier maths, people on average watch 6 minutes of a video. And just to do the math, we need to divide by 0.1, which is going to be 40,000 views is what you need in order to get monetize on long form videos just because of the wast hours. Or an easier way to explain this would be with TBT. So as you can see, 40,000 views. I just did a little bit of a shortcut of a math in order to do that, but need 40,000 views, and you'd be ready to monetize. The shorts in to get 10 million views, and shorts get definitely a lot, a lot more views with both of the ways not to get monetize with this one or this one with shorts or long forms, consistency is what really matters. And there's a couple of other things that I'd like to share in a couple of videos that's basically a requirement in order to make this a success. So if you have any questions, let me know. But than that, I'll see you in the next video. 33. How to Stay Motivated and Avoid Quitting Like Most Beginners: This video, talk about mentality and how not to quit like everybody else. Well, this is not like get rich, quick scheme. It will require consistency for a significant period of time. Now, I will say that the harder something gets, it means you have an opportunity because the harder something gets, the less people will do it. And this is not a very easy opportunity, but at the same time, it does require a lot of investment and a lot of the time and for. And of course, if you have a lot of money, you can invest money, but this is just one of the ways to do it. One of my favorite quotes ever is by Alex Romose which is volume negates luck. Volume is just doing it so many times that it would be unreasonable for it not to work. And another quote which kind of supports that is don't stop when you are tired, stop when you're done, which is by David Goggins. Still sort of that very hard mentality on just doing things doesn't matter how you feel. But it really really helps, especially with this one because oftentimes you can get a little bit boring. You might just be a little bit too lazy. So do unbelievable amount of volume. So post like crazy, post consistently. And then don't stop when you are tied. Stop when you are done. Stop only when this becomes a success. It doesn't matter that you have to just do it blindly, and if things don't work, you should just continue doing things that don't work. No, it means that once things start working, don't give up. Don't give up too early, too soon, continue doing the stuff. If the stuff doesn't work, be smart about it, try to identify what exactly doesn't work, why it doesn't work. If you tried it for months and months and months and, like, you have zero results, then yeah, maybe this opportunity is not for you. But honest will get results. The result you get may not be the results that you expect. Because once again, this is a very it's not a get rich quick scheme. It's how to consistently post content. And then once you consistently post, with time, you will have some growth, and that growth may be steady, may be exponential. Once you have growth for a long time, then you will see some results. But like, nothing in life, you have nothing in life that happens like that. It's like it's years and years and years of putting the work. And unfortunately, and even still to this day, sometimes I fall into that trap of expecting things to work out very quickly, but there's nothing that works super quickly. You need to put effort consistently for at least some time for some things just remember that it's not going to happen overnight. You do have to work on it, practice, and you will get results. Another quote that I like is that if you do all this stuff, it's not guaranteed that you will get results. But not doing any of the stuff that I told you guarantees you will not get any results. So if you stay in one place, you do nothing, it's guaranteed you will stay in that place. But if you gave it to try, there is a possibility of you succeeding. There's nothing guaranteed in this life, unfortunately. But it's just something we have to live with.
