Online Course Creation Masterclass: Create your Course in 7 Days

1. Introductory Video: Hello everybody and welcome to the seven-day course creator challenge, a program which stakes in diameter with no experience whatsoever in the field, and transforms him into a complete course creator in just seven days. So for those of you who don't know, my name is lambdas. And about three years ago, after learning about the emerging market of online courses, I decided to create my first online course to see it is worth the time and energy investment fast-forward three years after. And I have accumulated more than 10,000 enrolled students across my 20 different online courses that I have created after developing a unique framework, which enables me again to create a course in seven days that's 50 times faster than the average online course grade. This ladies and gentlemen, is the exact framework that I'm going to be revealing and we're gonna be analyzing in this course, the seven-day course greater challenge. The seven-day course greater challenge consists of 25 lessons in which we are going to be analyzing everything from all of the gear that you're going to need and how to spend cereal box if you want on this gear to researching and scraping topics for your courses 20 times faster while utilizing the power of artificial intelligence and judgment D, how to shoot and edit your course lessons and their thumbnails in five very basic steps that anyone can follow, some storytelling tips and how to create powerpoint presentations to lengthen your videos. Finally, we have a whole day dedicated marketing and search engine, optimizing the title and description of our horses to boost our enrollments. So this model right here is by far the fastest and easiest way for a complete beginner to enter and dominate the online course market by creating his first course in just seven days. And I know exactly what you're thinking right now that I'm not qualified to teach a course or I don't have the experience yet to teach other people. You see, this was exactly my concern when I was starting out creating courses three years ago. But the reality is that you only need to be one step ahead somebody to teach him. And people are actually much more likely to learn a topic from someone like you in which they can actually relate to rather than a cold professional in this field, this node is exactly what helped me reach the point that I am today. So again, welcome to the seven-day course creator challenge, and I'm gonna see you in the first lesson. 2. The Goal of this Course: Hello everybody. Thank you very much for enrolling and I would like to welcome you to the seven-day course creator. Now in this first introductory video, we're pretty much going to outline why the framework that we're going to be following the seven-day course, grader works, how it's gonna work for you, and how we're going to be teaching those lessons in order for you to absorb the information and produce the optimal course. Now, how is this framework working and why this framework is better than other course framework? This is what we are going to be analyzing in this lesson right here. Now, the industry in which the seven-day course creator works the best is by hosting our online courses in online course marketplaces such as Udemy, Skillshare. Why do we do that? Well, we need to analyze what I like to call the online course equation to solve that question. So the Online Course equation is the following. What do we need in order to create an online course? We need to know how to shoot videos, how to edit videos, had a script courses, okay, how to outline courses, how to promote courses, how to manage courses, and how to market courses. Now those are seven points. From those seven points, if we decide to launch our own website and wholesale courses in our own websites, then we need to complete all of those seven points. But if we utilize the power of online course marketplace is again such as Udemy Skillshare. We can bypass one very, very important point. And this is the marketing. And the marketing could be one out of the seven points that we mentioned, but it takes a huge amount of time and skill to successfully market your courses. This is why the seven-day course creator framework applies into us uploading our courses are online course hosting platforms such as Udemy Skillshare. This is where this framework is going to thrive. Now, what does it take to actually succeed after following the seven-day course creator? First of all, the seven-day course creator has amazing success rate. Many people actually succeed. The goal, which is to actually create a course and make more than 500 bucks a month from the scores. What differentiates people that succeed with this framework and people that don't succeed with this framework. Well, it all comes down into how you absorb the information that I'm gonna be delivering you in those seven days. Now, as you can imagine, you're starting from a complete beginner, or at least I am assuming that you're starting as a complete beginner. So I'm going to take you in a step-by-step process and teach you a wide variety of different stuff. We're gonna be talking about cameras, composition, lenses, editing, all of that stuff, how to create them and just how to create thumbnails. This is a lot of information and many different subcategories of information you're gonna be analyzing. Now, I don't want you to be overwhelmed with all of this information. I actually wanted to be underwhelmed, which pretty much means that I want you to absorb only the essential information. I don't want you to become a camera expert, the lens expert, a live expert, and a composition expert, because we're going to be overwhelmed and you're not going to be able to complete this challenge in seven days. I want you to absorb the information that I am going to be delivering to you, which is gonna be the absolute essentials to be able to create a course again in those seven days. Also note the sake of the fact that we are going to be uploading those courses in an online course hosting websites and hosting platforms, again, usually SkillShare, Udemy, I'm not going to be teaching you how to market your courses. It is very simple. Why? Because we actually don't need to market our courses once they're up on Skillshare and Udemy. Now, maybe, but we'll compare the seven-day course creator challenge with hosting again your course in your own website. And trust me, there are some pros and cons when it comes to building your course in your own website. The biggest pros, of course, that you set your own price, right? And you can charge as much as you want for your course. And potentially in the long run, you can make more money. But 100 per cent, the easiest and fastest way to reach 500 bucks a month by uploading an online course is to actually uploaded online course hosting platforms such as Udemy and skills are. Why do I say that? Because at this stage that you're probably are right now K complete beginner want to create a course. You probably don't want to be investing money, investing thousands of dollars in domains, websites, Google ads, Facebook ads, all that stuff that applies to hosting a course in your own website. Do you want to pretty much test this out and invest perhaps some time or some energy. So this is one of the biggest assets of seven-day course creator. I'm not asking you to invest any money more than the money that you spend to enroll in this course. This is the last financial investment that you will do. If you will. The only thing that I'm asking for us to invest, time and energy. And this time and energy can be transformed in an amazing way through the seven-day course creator into money. So this exactly what we're doing. On top of that, the course is we're going to be creating once they're uploaded in the Skillshare in Udemy, they stay there forever. You're not going to be charged to keep your courses up there. So we're literally going to be creating video assets, which are going to act as passive income streams for months or perhaps years after this course. So they're pretty much the differences between hosting our courses into our website and hosting our courses in online course marketplaces. This is the reason why I'm the seventh day goes better. We're going to be choosing to host our courses in again, marketplaces. And in the next video I'm going to analyze again the framework in more detail regarding focusing in this challenge. So thank you very much, welcome, and I'm gonna see you in the next lesson. 3. Our Strategy: Welcome everyone again to this second lesson of the seven-day course creator challenge in which we are going to be outlining the framework that we're gonna be following in order to understand how to create courses in those next seven days, it is very important for you to actually understand what will be taught in each day to make sure to focus more on the parts in which you think that your insufficient and perhaps Watts through without taking notes, the part that you already know, again, the scores is created and outlined for a student that has no idea about videography, no idea about courses, just has a vision and something that you wants to teach. Let's dive into analyzing the framework again of this seven day challenge. So this right here is the general outline. As you can see, we have day one, day two, day three, day four, day five, day six, and the seven. And you can see that right here. We're going to have a ready course by D7, as I promised you. Now, we are actually in day one and in this day, in day one, we're going to be analyzing two or three different things. The first thing is that we analyzed already the model, okay, The framework, if you will, that we're gonna be following in this course. This is this one right here. In the next lesson of day one, we are going to be actually analyzing a very important part, which is the year, the gear list. So in the next lesson, I'm going to give you the year list with the most value for money gear pieces that you can use, again to create this course. And again, keep in mind that I'm not asking you to invest any money to buy this gear. I will also give you completely free solutions that I promise you you have lying around in your house to create these courses. Now, considering the gear list, we're going to subdivided into hardware. Okay, so we're going to need hardware and software. And of course, software also with free trials, so we don't have to worry about the financial part of day one. So this pretty much following in the first day, we outlined the model, the framework, and again, the gear list, which can be highlighted in the next episode. Now, in the second day, we're going to take the gear. Do you analyze in day one? And we're pretty much going to set up everything. So setup the hardware, setup the software. This means camera composition. We're going to set up a perfect composition just like this one right here, in which you can confidently film your courses without having to Reagan non-rigorous add up every time we're going to set up the software so it runs flawlessly. I'm going to introduce you to a screen recording softwares, editing softwares. Everything that you're going to need is here. I'm going to also perform a tutorial to how to use a software called to use again in this course right here. And now we move into D3, in which pretty much here is where we actually start to create our courses. Now in D3, we're going to discuss about outlining our course. We will discuss about scripting, our course and especially the scripting part. We're going to say insane amount of time because we are going to use chad GPT descriptor course is faster again, this is a time-sensitive time frame rate here and framework. And of course, we're going to use again ai and Judge with the both for both the outline and the scripting of the course. Then we move into day four, which is filming day. So filming day is the 4D, this is where we start creating. So you're going to expect to have your first lessons out on day for considering the fact that you understand the framework, the software, the hardware, everything is set up by day two and we have an outline and script Gore's by day three, which you probably will have. Now when it comes to filming, we're going to talk about storytelling. How to tell great stories. We are going to talk about presentations, the gray bar Point presentation, and use it as an outline perhaps to help you in the filming process. We're going to take it about having the best camera settings and all that stuff. And then we're pretty much going to film our course in day fulfilling the different lessons of our course in the four. And I know this sounds very, how am I going to fit a whole, how I'm going to feel my whole horse on one day. It is completely possible considering the fact that the course is usually its duration is one-and-a-half to 2 h. So you can sit in a chair for 2 h and Dr. camera, the difficult part is to actually have everything set up and outlined and organized, which again, we're gonna be covering from day one to day three. So considering that it is successful, your day to day three is successful, then your day four, in which we are going to be actually creating the content, isn't going to be anything very, very special. Day five is of utmost importance, and I'm going to actually magnify blue because I want you very, very focused on day five. Why? Because on day five, we're going to be creating the introductory video. You, the introductory video will serve as a bromo for our course. And this introductory video is very, very important. We're going to talk about recording a successful introductory video, as well as editing as successful introductory video. And this is the only editing tutorial you will have in this course right here, how to edit your introductory video. Because again, we're not going to work with marketing. And this course we're not going to talk about Google Ads, face of God's funnels, all that stuff. But I need you to have a great introductory video for all of this thing to work. Now, on day six, after we have our introductory video ready from there, five, it is time to upload. So this is when we're actually going to upload, upload. On day six. This means that we're going to also be creating thumbnails. Thumbnails shoot and edit. So I'm going to show you how to shoot and edit thumbnails very easily with your editing software that we're gonna be discussing again in this part right here. And then the V7 lesson of the course is going to be 100% dedicated, which is this color, into getting students. So we're going to have a seventh lesson of this course, talking about enrollment. How to make students actually enrolled into a course. And this, we're going to talk about the title, of course, the description of our course. And anything search engine optimized that will make the students enroll into our courses. So this is again the framework, the general outline, which we're going to be following for the next seven days. Again, right now we're in day one. Of course, as you know, we discussed about the framework, the model, and we're going to be following now a year list which you are called to choose if you want to invest or not. I'm going to give you free options, don't worry. So we're going to talking about hardware and software data again, how to set everything up, how to set up the software, how to set up the camera. D3, we're outlining and scripting our course with charge. It'd be in artificial intelligence and it's gonna be extremely painless. Trust me, day four is actually our filming day. So we're gonna start filming in day four. Day five is 100% invested in creating a successful introductory video again, and actually editing this introductory video to be very appealing and sell your course to your audience. They six, we shoot and edit our thumbnails and D7, we actually search engine optimized our course again to help with our enrollments. So this is the framework that we're gonna be following. And I'm gonna see you, as you can see in this framework here in the next lesson, in which we're gonna be talking about the year list. So thank you very much and I'm gonna see you there. 4. Gear: Hardware: Now one of the biggest limiting beliefs of a person that's thinking of launching his own course. Okay, I'm starting to shoot and edit his old Gore's is the fact that he isn't equipped with the correct year, right? Things that in order to produce a course you need. The best camera is the best lenses, the best microphones, lights set up, all of that. The truth is that and the reality is that you can actually create an amazing course for free. You don't need any crazy year to pay it. And amazing course. In fact, if you have a message to communicate and something that people are really interested do. And but the time that you're engaging when you talk, you really don't need to invest in year. In other words, you can pretty much bypass your way through expensive gear if you have great storytelling skills. So it will be much rather to invest and actually learning storytelling, how to communicate with your audience rather than spending thousands and thousands of dollars in year. So I want you to know from this lesson right here that it is a completely false limited beliefs. The fact that you need expensive gear to launch your own course. And we're going to be bunk this myth in this lesson right here. So welcome everybody to the gear lesson of the scores in which we're gonna be discussing about the hardware, the actual stuff that you need in order to shoot a course. In the next lesson, we will discuss about the software. What software you need, again, to edit the course and upload the course and all that stuff. So obviously we're going to start with some value for money options and some completely free options in every single gear obese category that we talked about. Now, when we're starting a course, the first thing you're going to need an absolutely is essential is a camera, right? We all going to need a camera. And camera is pretty much subdivided into two categories. The camera, body and the lens of a camera can give an example of this. Right here is an example of a Gamma. Of course this is a film camera. It doesn't shoot video. But to give you an example, this is a DSLR camera. This some of the best types of cameras you can have in order to shoot a course. Now, the camera is subdivided into the camera body and the camera lens. And there are many different bodies you can buy in many different lenses, you can buy the most value for money, in my opinion, camera body that you can buy. And by the way, every camera body that is capable of shooting full HD video after 60 frames per second is going to get our job done. It might be the best value for money coming up body to buy right now is this of the canon 200, 100 d is a DSLR cameras. So again, it looks like this one right here. It's a big, bulky camera with amazing camera photo and video capabilities. It suits Dan Eddie, be full HD video in 60 frames per second, which is more than enough for you to show the course and you can buy it used from eBay for about 200 bucks. Now, obviously, if you don't want to mess with cameras, lenses and enter that market, you can obviously suit with your phone or mobile phones, have amazing camera capabilities. And again, from the time that you have something to communicate with your audience, they don't really care that much about your camera quality. All they care about is a decent video image and a great audio source. Now that I have shot personally courses with golden rules, which are those small cameras with building lenses, okay, you just press and record. And if you're shooting a course in which is going to be e.g. a first-person view course, which you want your audience to view what you're demonstrating any first-person view. A GoPro is ideal for that. Now, if you don't decide to go with a free option, which is a mobile phone which promotes all of us have a mobile phone, which you can totally do that. Again, it will apply to the software lesson we're going to discuss in the next lesson of this course. If you want to go with a camera and you're actually buying body, there are countless of lenses you can bear with that body. Now, in my opinion, the best value for money lens and I'm just giving you this information because I've learned it through the hard way through many years of actually researching and buying lenses that were not worth it and all that such conceal my year right there. I've bought a lot of gear. The best value for money lens, this lens right here, the 50 millimeter F1 0.8. Now the 50 millimeter, if 1.8 is a lens that costs about 80 to 100 bucks. This is extremely cheap for a camera lens, by the way, Specialty a DSLR lens, and it produces an amazing blurry background. Now, if you've had a bit of a space in your room or in the studio that you're shooting a course, I would 100% recommend you to buy this lens right here. Again, 50 millimeter f of 1.8 is pretty much the only lens is going to need if you buy a camera body to shoot, of course. Now another lens you can buy, and it's actually the lens that I'm shooting this course right here is for more close-up shots, e.g. that I have my camera above my computer screen. It is located about 1 m away from my face. So I can really use this lens because it is more of a balanced in zoom lens. I'm shooting with the canon 242105, F4 Mrs. again, an amazing less blends option. It pretty much looks like this lens right here. It is a bit heavy, a bit more pricey. But again, if you are a complete beginner, I again recommend you to go with the canon two-hundred D with a 50 millimeter F1 0.8. This whole gate, if you bite, used from eBay, will cost you about 200, 250 bucks, which is absolutely recommend it. In my opinion, a very valid from any price point for AD SLR camera with an amazing lens. So this is when it comes to cameras. By the way, all of the good is going to mention in this video, I'm going to be linked below in my Keith, Michael's question, Keith link. So you can take it out from there. Now moving on from the cameras, it is time to actually stabilize our camera somewhere and okay, let's be honest, we can actually put the camera in front of some books e.g. to keep it stable like I have it right now, or actually go with a tripod and you're pretty much going to need a try, but they're very cheap. There's an example of a dry but didn't say gorilla bold that opens like this. Okay, and, and pretty much stay stabilized or gamma. In any case, you can buy a very cheap diverged from Amazon, eBay phase of marketplace. You name it. In general, tables are very, very commonly seen and found. So I'm not going to stress enough the importance of a tribal do pretty much all know the importance of a tribal. So I'm going to move in our next category of gear, which is the microphone. Now, investing in a microphone, in a quality microphone is as important as investing in a great lens or a great camera. People will sit in general through a bad video quality course or a bad video quality video, but they will not sit. If your audio is not good, your audio needs to be on point, especially for monetizing our courses in Skillshare, in platforms like Skillshare, which we're going to be getting paid based on the amount of minutes that we accumulate. This means that we want our audience to actually be consuming a big amount of our courses. And this is why we are going to be investing in a great microphone setup. Now to give you an example, this is a dead guy filter for a microphone to filter some of the wind. But there are many, many microphone chosen choices that you can have. I don't encourage you actually to shoot with the built-in microphone off your DSLR camera. Encourage you to buy an external microphone, invest 100, 200 bucks to buy a great microphone. These tend again to last for years and years. I bought this microphone for about 100 bucks, I think two years ago, and it still works perfectly. Okay, they don't get strikes. They're just amazing, they work. So please invest in a grade quality microphone. Or again, the free option is to using the microphone of your volt. Now, moving to the next category of external gear again, we discussed about camera body, the free option, camera lenses again, the free option which is the phone microphones. And the free option again, it's very phone in general is a very value for money earpiece, right? Because you got like a body. They microphone builded lenses, everything. Most homes have more than two lenses now, so it's, it's really worth using a phone. Now. The next category is, of course, lights. And you can see I'm a big fan of those studio lights have one light source right here. I got one light source right there. And we're going to be discussing in future lessons where you want to be placing your light sources. Now in general, those to realize that I have in my setup look very professional. They look amazing. And the thing is that they are actually very, very cheap. Again, I'm sorry, they're very cheap. I bought a pair of two from Amazon for like 30 bucks, which is 15 bucks for each light, was extremely cheap. Considering the fact that I've taught many commercials with them and actually many, many courses. Most of my courses were shot with those two lights, which cost me about 30 bucks, which is not that expensive. I would actually encourage you to invest in one of those lights. Now, if you don't want to invest in lights, the best light source and all of us will make yours. No, that is actually the natural sunlight. The sun, the light of gums from the sun. If you had a big window in your house, in your room, in your studio, this is optimal. Or only problem is, of course, when we depend on the light to shoot our courses, we have a specific timeframe, okay, a time window Within Datasheet our courses, which means that we can show that night we have those limitations. Perhaps the day, you know, it's cloudy. We don't have them as light coming in and we can't have constant settings in our camera. So again, if we have a light would be to actually use the sunlight. But if you want to spend 15 to 30 bucks, you can buy a pair of those two lights for very cheap from Amazon. And again, you can find the link in my description. Now, we discussed about key lights, right? This e.g. a. Key light, the light that lights up the subject of your frame, which in this case is me. Now we also need, if we want, this is not an essential obviously, we can also invest in background lights and darks and lights will make our image more interesting, Let's say, okay, I have those LED Macron lights right there. Those are my background lights. I didn't also buy one of those small light gets from Amazon doesn't have better right now in which we can pretty much light any part of our room we want behind are subject to add depth to our image to just make our image more interesting, let's say. So again, this concludes the part of our lives we discussed about key lights, background lights again, using the source of the sun as a free light source. And now it is time to discuss the last hardware piece that you're gonna need. And this is essential. Despite obviously a computer, or if you don't want it, you can actually use the computing power of your smartphone. We are going to meet some type of external storage, right? Because we're going to be sitting big videos and a lot of gigabytes, perhaps some terabytes, if you said a lot of courses and we need to store those videos somewhere, please never delete it. I want you to remember this from the beginning of this course. Never delete your courses once you fill in them and upload them, okay, Always keep your courses. You never know when you're going to use them again. You never know what you want to monetize them again. So please always give your courses stored in one or do external hard drive. This is what I do. So please invest in an external hard drive to store all of your raw files and ended videos. Very, very important regardless if you're shooting with your phone or with a camera, I would really, really encourage you to invest in an external hard drive. In addition to that, if you have a phone, again, you don't want to invest in an external hard drive. You can actually invest in Cloud Storage. Cloud Storage, pretty much automatic storage in which we store our clips from our phones internal storage to the Cloud and we can use it that way. But this is going to add a lot of friction to the game. And we don't want to have a lot of friction when we're getting, of course, in seven days, right? We need to be fast, frictionless, and our efficiency needs to be up there. So I really encourage you to actually invest in an external hard drive. It is very, very important. Also in addition to that, if you don't invest in an external hard drive while shooting with your phone, your phone storage will actually become full very easily. And this will implement an impact the actual computing power of our phone. And if we want to also edit videos from our phone, we actually need that computing power. So please take care of your phone if this is where you're shooting your course from and please invest in an external storage device, you will make your life simpler, way, way, easier. Now, to conclude with the hardware of the year day the hardware is going to need in this year lesson, the final one is a, B, C, or a maximum. Okay, We need some type of computing power to actually edit our courses. Now, in my opinion, MacBooks work better because I added with final that bro Watson editing software was we're going to discuss in the next lesson. If you have a BC, we're also going to be discussing which editing software you can use. And in my personal opinion, MacBooks are a bit easier to navigate through. And I, it is my, let's say system of choice. If you don't want to edit for your Mac. And also the MacBook acts as a mediator between our files and an external hard drive. We use our Mac to store our files to the external hard drive. So just works flawlessly. In my case, if you don't want a MacBook or a BC, we can actually edit our courses from our phones. And we will be discussing how we do this in again vi, editing lesson. So again, if you don't have one invest on a MacBook or ABC, and if you don't want to invest in one at all, you can keep watching this course and actually implement this doubled when we're talking about from your phone. So thank you very much for sticking up until the end of this video. This concludes the hardware part of the gear that we're going to need to complete the seven-day course, bigger challenge. And in the next video we're going to be discussing about the software, what software we're going to need, how they use the software. All that will be discussed in the next video, then you very much, and I'm gonna see you there. 5. Gear: Software: So now it's time to discuss software K, we're talking year, but this time software will discuss about the hardware k cameras, lights, all that stuff. Now it's time to discuss about what actually is going to be happening inside our computing programs. Now, what becomes the software? Let's subdivide this into two major categories. Okay, we have recording software and editing software. Recording software could actually also be considered our camera and our lens. But more specifically, when we're teaching an online course many times we actually have to demonstrate what the point we want to come across from a PowerPoint presentation. Where we're presenting something with a PowerPoint presentation, we are absolutely going to need a screen recording software. So again, when it comes to video recording, we may have building video from our camera, but also screen recordings. So when it comes to screen recordings, in my opinion, the best value for money software which you can use. And there are many, many different softwares in which you can record your screen, okay, There are free softwares, e.g. VLC. Another quick time has a built-in screen recording software. My software of choice is called Camtasia, and it all applies in both Mac and PC. It is very easy. And with some hotkeys, you can actually stop then start again the recording of your screen. So in my opinion, if you want to invest some money in the screen recording software of your choice, go with Camtasia. Again, some free options is VLC, QuickTime Player. Those are the two quick screen recording software that come up to my mind right now. Okay. So when it comes to screen recording again, go with Camtasia and we are going to be screen recording a bigger portion of our courses because again, it's easier for us to communicate our points through a PowerPoint presentation, which again, we're going to analyze how you're going to create a barbarian presentation for your course. Now it is time to move to the second type of software, which is video editing software. Now, as we said, video editing can be done with a MacBook or a PC or your phone if you want to go with a completely free version, when you're editing with a Mac. In my opinion, the best value for money editing software that you can use, and the perfect pretty much editing software you can use that I also use Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Pro ten gives us creators a huge creative advantage. It lets us manipulate our courses, add titles, do all of that stuff, and make our courses look professional. So I really encourage you, if you have a Mac book to actually download Final Cut Pro ten. A free option when it comes to editing your course with a MacBook could be e.g. iMovie. We can definitely shoot videos from our iPhones and import them to our MacBook and edit them in iMovie again, the editing principles that we're gonna be discussing in this course right here aren't that advanced? So you can follow along with any editing software of your choice. Okay, So again, let's recap. If you have a MacBook, go with Final Cut Pro ten, if you want a premium video editing software and if you wanted to completely free version, go with iMovie. Now, for our Windows users, the perfect premium video editing choice that you can go with is Premiere Pro. Premier Pro is as good as Final Cut Pro. But for PC, now again, there are some free editing choices. Again, for PC, many, many editing choices. I know that Sony Vegas Pro, I think, is free or gives a 30 day free trial which you can use of course, because we're gonna be grading course in seven days. And again, many, many different editing options for PC. If you're editing with your phone, I encourage you if you have an iPhone to actually go ahead and download iMovie, it is completely free. It has actually great features. Most of the features that we're gonna be using again going to be using titles, some very basic transitions you can all do with iMovie. So I really encourage you to actually go with iMovie. If you're shooting with an iPhone, you don't like iMovie, you can download pretty much anything else from the App Store, but it's going to have some in-app purchases. That's gonna be a bit not that great if we're trying to optimize our way, integrating the scores. And if you have an Android phone, you can again download any video editing software that is free from Google Play Store. It's going to work. Okay? I'm not saying that it's not going to work, but if you actually invest into a Mac or a PC and have a better editing software, it's going to have, it's going to make this process frictionless. Okay, we're going to create courses without that month's friction. That being said, it is absolutely Okay to create a course just from your phone again by shooting it and uploading it from your phone. So these are pretty much the three different types of software that we're gonna be needing. Again, a screen recording software and an editing software. When it comes to screen recording software will go with Camtasia if we want to invest actually money into this game. If you don't want to invest money, you can go with VLC or QuickTime player. They have built-in screen recording software. And again, I know that actually PowerPoint you can record, I think PowerPoint from the PowerPoint app. So again, many, many different choices. And when it comes to editing from a Mac go with Final Cut Pro, editing from a PC, go with Premier Pro. So this, ladies and gentlemen concludes our first day of the seven-day course creator challenge. We took it a bit slowly in the first day. Trust me, the next day is we'll have more information for us to cover. And on the second day, as you know from the framework lesson that we had today, we are going to be setting up everything. So the next lessons are going to be very, very exciting. And I'm gonna see you there. 6. Creating a Studio in your room: Welcome everybody to the second day of the seven-day course, creator challenge. I hope the first day was useful. We outlined many, many stuff. And now in the second day, we are going to be discussing about the setup of all the year that we discussed in the first day. So in this lesson right here we are discussing how to set up the hardware gate, where to place the camera, where to place the lights in proportion to your home, your studio, to your bedroom. I don't know what you're shooting the course. And in the next lessons we are setting up our software to be ready to script on the day three and actually shoot our courses on day four. Now, other seeds limiting belief when it comes to core creation is the fact that you need a huge studio space to create courses and you need editors and expensive stuff all over the place. And this couldn't be further from the truth. He is the I upgraded more than 12 courses from this very small bedroom of mine. I know it might seem like weird, don't get a big on-camera, but it's really not that big. It is actually a very small bedroom. And have created courses here, commercials. I've made a lot of money from this room. And this is pretty much proof that you can also do this in any of your spaces. It all comes down into placing the hardware in key spots which we are going to be analyzing in this lesson right here. So please don't be discouraged by your small space. Again, we are going to solve this problem in this lesson right here. Now this data is gonna be a screen recording to give an example of how most courses go from gonna be screen recording my screen, and outlining where every part of your hardware should build. So let's begin. This right here is our room, okay, so this big rectangle right here, let's say that it is our room. And this rectangle is going to be art desk. Okay? So you can navigate through this sketch. Now let's say that if this is our desk or get our chair is going to be right here, just like my chair faces my desk. And in the middle of our desk, we're going to place our monitor. Okay, So this right here is going to be our monitor. Let me just mention right here. So why do we want our monitor to be in front of our chair? Obviously, this is very self-explanatory. Did the fact that we want to be actually handling nodes, the slides of Barbara and presentation and e.g. now I am teaching you something and I'm also seeing what I'm reporting in my monitor. So this is a very essential part of the setup. Now, where should we place our camera? Let's say that the camera is with this yellow color. We have two or three placements of our cameras. The first one is right here. So the camera could go right above our monitor. So as you can see, the camera films us directly and this is exactly the setup that I am implementing right now. I have the camera above my monitor filming me in this shot right here. Another place that you could perhaps place the camera. And this is if you remember in the first day for you using the 50 millimeter F1 Bernays, which is a more zoomed in lens, if you will. You will also place your Gamma right here. So your camera could also be placed right here on a tripod. Now as you can see, the distance from ourselves is actually bigger. What does this unlock as well? This unlocks us the bigger distance between ourselves, the subject, and our Gamma, and locks us a bigger depth of field. This means that you have a bigger foreground and perhaps a bigger background. Let's measure the foreground, e.g. in this celebrate here that I have, this is our foreground and this is our background. In this case, the foreground is actually way bigger. As you can see, the background stays pretty much the same or it's even bigger. So it is actually more optimal to have the camera in a diagonal position of yours. But in this diagonal position, as you can see, I don't have the Mordor in front of me. This is why I choose to actually sued in this setup right here with a camera in front of me, I sacrifice a bit foreground and background, but still I have my notes in my monitor, so it's fine. These are the two potential camera placements that you should have. Now, if we move on from our camera, we're going to need lights. And of course, the setup of lies that you are positioned right here. This red belt is you. Now let's discuss about lights. Where should we place our lights? Lights in general, I'm going to do a small introduction to you when it comes to lighting. Again, the very essentials for which you need to know. I have a whole course into videography and how to navigate through composition, lights and everything. But to be very, very short in order not to discourage you, lights shouldn't be placed. We have two types of light, the key light and the background light. The key light should be placed in a 45-degree angle from our subjects. So if we think that this is our subject today, this is us. We should place our lives in a 45-degree angle. This means that if we're shooting with this gamma right here, the key lights should be placed in a 45-degree angle from us, which means that the elide should we placed somewhere here. This is going to be our key light. And let me mention this to you. By the way, I'm going to have a screenshot of this slide right here when we're done with it, so you can use it and actually use it as a guide. So there's going to be our key light and it's going to shine this part of our face, Michaela, e.g. is located right there and shines the right side of my face. Now, we could also have a smaller light, perhaps right here. And this is not as strong again as the key light. This is called the filler light. So again, filler life. The filler light pretty much fills the left part of our face that is not lit by the key light. Just to not seen that dramatic. The filler light is not an essential part of our lighting setup and also shouldn't be in 20% of the power of our key light. So that's gonna be our big, big light. Now, considering that we have a key light, a fill light, the next we want to do is have some type of background light. Why do we need it back on a light? Background lights are absolutely essential because they add depth to our image. In my case, I have this big darker light right here. This background light of mine shines at the bottom. So it pretty much shines at the floor. And from the floor, it pretty much bounces back in my Mac. So you can see that they just shines a whole room with light, especially the floor. And from the floor, as you can see, it adds depth to my image ended at this data. I have also some LED lights right here, which also add some kind of interesting note. So again, this is remark on like micron light. And those are again, some LED background lights that you can have. In general, these are not essential, although I encourage you to have some guide, some type of background light because it just adds more depth to your image and makes it more interesting. Now let's just erase these because I think there have been misguided in unlisted that your rooms should look kind of interesting. You can see that in this part of my room, I've also added those small sound insulation system. They don't really isolate sound, but it looked, they look cool in camera, so it's pretty much they do get the job done. Now, the next thing we're gonna be discussing about is our microphone and our microphones position is very, very essential to consider right now. I'm not actually shooting with this microphone right here. I'm shooting with another microphone which I used for my screen recordings. Now the microphone should we connect and obviously to our camera? And this is the first microphone setup. You can hook it somewhere here from your desk, e.g. and have it point at your direction or the other microphone service you can have is actually hang it from above the camera right here. So these are the two microphone positions that you can have them eat. I mentioned that this is the mic. Obviously, depending on where you place the camera, the light and the microphone should also change position, e.g. if our camera is placed right here, then this is the frame that we're looking at and the key light shouldn't be placed here, e.g. this should be our key light because we want to be on a 45-degree angle from the camera and our subject. So again, please note that the key light should be always in a 45-degree angle from our camera and our subject. And the bigger, the bigger the distance between the subject and our camera, the better is going to be for the quality of our video. In our case, we pretty much choose this setup right here. Okay, so we want that camera to be above our monitor because we want to be looking at our notes loony, looking at our slides from our monitor. So pretty much, if you remember, that's your camera needs to be above your monitor. Your key light needs to be 45 degrees from your subject as well as we need some background light, then you are set up and this is pretty much how we are going to be setting up our gear and the hardware for a very basic course. In addition to that, obviously we need our laptops somewhere close. This is going to be our computer our computers monitor. So we pretty much want our desk will probably BC to be here or a Mac. So that's gonna be our PC again, or a Mac. And this is obviously going to be connected to our monitor and perhaps to our camera. So I really hope I didn't scare you with all of this information. I know that this diagram that we outlined right here, it looks a bit intimidating, but trust me, everything makes sense and I will actually grabbed my camera and show you my own setup of how I do this in real time. So you're actually going to visualize what do we discussed in this outline part of this lesson right here. So this ladies and gentlemen is pretty much my setup right here. As we discussed. This is my desk. Okay. This is the chair in which the subject rests. Are both my monitor. We have my camera. Now. This camera directly films, as you can see, the subject which rests in this chair. And as we discussed, we have the microphones. I got two microphones. This microphone which is connected to my camera, and this microphone which is connected to my MacBook and my screen recording software. Now, from that, I didn't film with this microphone right here, as I mentioned to you in this lesson, we filmed with this microphone right there in my camera and also have connected an external monitor which rests above my speaker. And from this external monitor I can view what I am. So guessing in my camera. This right here, as we said, is my key light. Don't have a filler light right now I'm actually have this slide which could be used as a filler like but this is my key light, which lights again, as you can see in a 45-degree angle, the subject. Okay, so this pretty much my course creation setup. It is very simple. As you can see, my room is fairly small. The monitor is huge, but you don't really need a huge monitor. This right here is my background light, as you can see with those cool background LEDs up there and the gear that I have back there. And this is the background that I'm using, those sound of using fingers. This is a setup. Okay. The other camera placement that we discussed about is the place the camera right there. So place the camera in this angle right here with the subject. But this also means that we also need the key light to be right there because we want our camera to be there, are subject to be here. So we would face the camera like this. And our key like to be right there to be shooting in lighting our subject in a 45-degree angle. So pretty much I want you to recreate this setup right here in your room. You don't need this big monitor. Again, all you need to do is pretty much stabilize your camera above your monitor and have a light in a 45-degree angle. All of the other are not that important. You don't need a specific monitor for your camera. If you buy the 100 D, you have a flip screen and also a very basic microphone to connect with your screen recording software could also be very much appreciated. So that's pretty much concludes the hardware setup lesson of this course. In this lesson right here with this customer to place the camera, where to place the lights, when to place the background lights. That with the fact that we want our camera to rest above and monitor because we want to be viewing our slides in our notes that are binary representations in our mortars. And now it is time to actually discuss how to set up our software. So this is what we're doing in the second lesson of the second day of the seven-day course, greater challenge. And I'm gonna see you there. 7. Camtasia Setup: Now, ladies and gentlemen, that we have concluded the whole setup, the hardware part of the secondary of the seven-day course greater than it's time to discuss about software. And as we discussed in the first day, we are going to be manipulating two types of software. The first one is a screen recording software, and the second one is a video editing recording software. Now, before we move on into this tutorial and this video right here, I want you to note that you really don't need to have the best editing software as we discussed, or the best screen recording software. Honestly, anything will do for the sake of this course, I will be editing from Final Cut Pro. But again, the principles that we're gonna be discussing apply universally to all editing softwares as well as all screen recording software. Now, that being said, I really encourage you to download actually Camtasia. This is the screen recording software that I'm gonna be demonstrating in this video right here. And Final Cut Pro, if you have a Mac, which is again the video editing software that I'm gonna be demonstrated in going through in this video right here. This is not going to be a complete video editing tutorial. We're going to have a how to edit your course video later on in the next days. For now, I just want you to know the very general principles of an editing software. So again, if you don't own Final Cut Pro, what we're going to be analyzing in this doctrine right here also will apply to you and it's gonna be very valuable information also for you. So enough talking, let's launch actually another screen recording software. What's going to be quick time so I can demonstrate how to navigate through Camtasia, which is gonna be the screen recording software of our choice. This pretty much the interface that you see once you launch Camtasia. So we've got this window right here and now we have those choices to start a new recording, to open a project, or start a new project for the sake of this video right here, Let's actually start a new project and let's see what Camtasia is going to present to us. So this is the basic interface of Camtasia. I also wanted to note that by purchasing Camtasia or Biden obligate for it for free, you also get access to some actual video editing principles. You can also edit videos from Camtasia and the basic things that we're gonna be discussing again, the basic editing principles that we've been discussing in Final Cut Pro also applied to Camtasia. If you're on a budget, you can literally just by Camtasia and edit your courses from Camtasia. Now, this is the timeline that we have in every single video editing software. And the button that we are very interested in is this record button right here. So once we press the record button, this panel will open up and we have those different choices. Again, we can select the portion of the screen that we want to record. Let's select e.g. this part to record, we press Okay. And then we have all of those other parameters to choose. A camera. Right now, I don't have a camera connected to my laptop to choose a audio input. So basically your microphone. Okay, I got this razors Irene, we do x, which is my microphone of choice. We can check how loud or how low our voice will be from the microphone. Again, if we want to export audio from the software. Now, the big thing is that we can actually start and stop recording with Camtasia with a hotkey. And this is actually very, very important. The hotkey of my toys which I used to start and stop. I think Camtasia and I think this actually applies to you. Don't have to tweak it. It's pronounced when you download Camtasia, you can have this hockey so you can start and stop recording without actually pressing this just from your keyboard is command shift two. So when I hold Command Shift and press to, the recording will stop. I will do this right now, e.g. okay, I'm going to start recording from here. So once you start recording, you can see it has a countdown 321. And now this portion of our screen is being recorded. Now, obviously in this portion of our string, we're going to have a PowerPoint presentation, anything. So let's say that now we're recording part of a PowerPoint presentation, e.g. once we're ready with what we've got, we press again, Command, shift to the recording stops and we can name our recording, e.g. screen recording, just one. You have all of those choices to start over. Delete resume again. So again, you can see command shift into the resume recording. This is the whole key that I'm using. So e.g. right now, we'll resume right now about the whole thing again, we stop. Once we're done, we press complete and we have this screen recording in our timeline. You can see that we've recorded the portion that we want. Right here. You can see we have the video that again, we have recorded with our voice. So if I press Play, now we're importing barley. You can see that my voice is actually recorded in the screen recording. So this actually very helpful because you both record your voice and the screen. It is very easy actually to manipulate them, the clips from here. Now, some very basic editing principles in Camtasia is the fact that when we have a, let's say, a part in which you don t talk and you want to remove it. You can go here, right-click and Press split at play head. Again, the same thing we can do here, split at play head. Then we select this clip and we delete it. So now when we bring those two clips together, there is no pretty much a space in which we don't talk. Now these are again, some very, very basic editing principles. We're gonna be discussing these for Final Cut Pro. But for now you can tweak many parameters in Camtasia. How big the clips will be, how small the clips will be, e.g. if you want two clips together, you can make this clip small and move it in this part of your video and then have another clip play from behind. So many different things. But again, we're gonna be using Camtasia pretty much just for our screen recordings, not for our video editing would much rather to Video added from Final Cut Pro, as we said. But again, there are many other brands you can tweak again, the scale of the video, the opacity of our video, the rotation of our video. You're going to transitions, okay, many, many, many different things. Let's actually bring the scale back to 100%. And now let's talk about exporting our clips with using again Camtasia. So how do we export with Camtasia? You have this button right here. We press Export once we're done with our screen recording and we have applied some basic editing principles that we want from the software. So now we press Export local file, and we name our file. It's very important to actually name your files correctly so you don't get lost because we're going to be accumulating a huge amount of files by the end of this seven day challenge. So let's name this camtasia tutorial test. One. Always number your clips. You can choose what you want to export it to. So when before QuickTime movie all that, usually pretty much all the ways we do it. We export an MP4 and explored, okay, wait, camtasia has very, very fast exporting speeds. So now it is exported. We can press Close and we can either save or not save this Camtasia panel, let's say just don't say because they don't care about it. So now if I go to my movies, you can see that I can open it. And as a QuickTime Player file, we have this screen recording that is done with Camtasia. And this exact screen recording we're going to now be importing in Final Cut Pro to apply some very basic editing principle. So now we're done with Camtasia or screen recording software. It's time to move to our video editing software of choice. The video links of Roadshow is that we are going to be editing videos or will I am going to be editing videos for this course is going to be final cut. But again, the principles will apply to most or if all, if not all video editing software is available. So let's actually launch Final Cut Pro and let me guide you through what we're going to be manipulating and what to rigs and video editing tools we're gonna be needing for the completion of a seven-day course. Greater challenge. 8. FCPX Interface: So now we're done with Camtasia for screen recording software. It's time to move to our video editing software of choice. The video links are for choice that we are going to be editing videos are, well, I am going to be editing videos for this course is going to be final cut. But again, the principles will apply to most or if all, if not all video editing software is available. Let's actually launch Final Cut Pro and let me guide you through what we're going to be manipulating and what tricks and video editing tools we're gonna be needing for the completion of the seven-day course creator challenge. This bacteria is the Final Cut Pro interface with edited day one version of the software there's going to be needed. So again, if you can remember, this is the video that I told you yesterday, and this is the edited version. So by demonstrating how I edited this video over again, day one, I will show you what are the essentials of your video editing software. So pretty much what you're going to need to have in your video editing software, even if it's, even if it's not free. So the first thing is a timeline. Obviously this part right here is the timeline which in which our clips rest. And we can see pretty much our audio and visual elements. Rather than a timeline. It is also recommended for you to be able to import some kind of titles in your video. So it's very important for us titles because title is pretty much outline the course better and they help with engagement a lot. So e.g. this right here is a title. This is how much I added the title, just drag and drop thing. Depending on your video editing software, there are many different ways to add or remove titles. Then we can mathematically titles right here so we can change it to anything we want. We can change the size of the title. So pretty much you need to have titles. So the next very important fact that you're editing software needs actually do have, is the ability to trim down your clip in Final Cut Pro with pressing the Alt key B, we have this blade tool and we can actually trim the clip, the proportion that we want. I can then select the clips that I've trimmed and delete them to have the outcome that I want in my course. So what I need you to do is pretty much have the ability to add titles, have the ability to trim your clips, and also have the ability if you want to add music, e.g. ion, this boss Alonzo, short clip. Okay, there's a music label that plays when my pretty much lessons start. So again, it's good for you to be able to add music. And on top of that, it's also good to be able to add images and other elements into your timeline if you want to demonstrate something new. Now, this all comes to drag and drop. It is fairly simple how to do this stuff. And again, those very basic editing things can be done in any editing software. I encourage you though, to purchase Final Cut Pro. It is a very useful software. And even after creating courses, you can also use this software, e.g. do great commercials, YouTube videos, TikTok videos. So everything is a very, very useful software to have an uncombined with Camtasia. We have this beautiful, again combination of screen recording and video editing software. So this concludes our lesson with this software overview. We talked about screen recording software again, Camtasia, video editing recording software, Final Cut Pro. And we dig deeper into the basic outline and the overview of those two useful software and you can use to create our courses. Now again, the basic principles that we're gonna be discussing, how to create the course apply to many different video editing and screen recording software. I just wanted to demonstrate with the most value for money, in my opinion, screen recording and video editing software, which is again respectively Camtasia and Final Cut Pro. Again, everything, all of the principles that we discussed can be done with your phone still. Okay. Your phone has the ability with iMovie e.g. to import titles, to trim down our clips to add songs. You can do this with your phone is just more easy to do it if you have the access to this software. So this concludes our second day of the seven-day course, greater challenge. And now that we're done with the fundamentals of year, the placement of our gear, the software, how to set up everything. Now we've done that, we're done with all that stuff. Then it's time to move to actually outline in script our course. So the third day is gonna be very, very exciting and very, very fundamental for the creation of a successful course. By the end of the seven days, I'm gonna see you in the next day. 9. Introduction in AI and Chat GPT: Hello everybody and welcome to day three of the seven-day course. Greater challenge. I'm very excited that you made it up to day three and now is where the real fun begins. In this day right here we're going to be outlining and scripting our courses. And we're gonna be doing this with the usage of artificial intelligence and AI, more specifically, chat, GPP. So it's hard to believe we're going to actually be inserting some Brahms, some, let's say, pre-designed questions to ask this artificial intelligence tool, which is going to massively help us with scripting and actually outlining our courts. Now why do we want to be very specific and very careful outlining our course? And why do I have a whole day of the seven-day course guide your challenge, in which we're very tied with our time schedule. Why did I assign a whole day into outlining and scripting our course? Well, the answer is actually very, very simple. We could create the best course. We could create the best course with the best gear, the most beautiful edited course. But if there's no appeal from the audience, no one's going to watch the chorus. No one's going to buy the course, and we're not gonna make any money from the course. So it is very, very important to conduct the proper research, the proper audience research, to script our courses using marketing Greeks, which we're going to analyze in this day of the seven-day course, greater challenge. Then outline again the correct lessons in the correct sequence in the correct order. So this is exactly what we're doing again in this day. This day is gonna be subdivided again into two lessons, the outlining, the course lesson and the scripting lesson. And I want you in general to pay close attention in the outlining lesson. Why do we want to do this? Because based on our course curriculum and based on the number of lessons and how lessons are structured, we're going to be creating descriptions and titles, which are going to be search engine optimized. And it is very, very important to have search engine optimized styles, especially when we're uploading our courses into Skillshare Udemy. As we said in day one of seven-day course credit challenge, we are not going to be conducting any marketing for our courses. We're not going to be paying any Google ads. We're not gonna be hosting the courses in our own websites. We are going to monetize our courses through Skillshare Udemy. This means that SkillShare Udemy will take care of the marketing of our courses. But in order for them, in order for us pretty much to make their life easier. So to have our courses pop up in search results and actually gain a lot of traffic and students and traction and monetizing our courses. Eventually, we are going to be needing to have search engine optimized titles and search engine optimized descriptions which need to fit on our target audience. So it's very important when outlining our course to actually write down who is our target audience, who are the people which we want to serve with our courses. And then create the course based on the target audience that we have brainstormed through chat GBD. Now in a district that the final thing before we start to lessons in day three, I want you to know that I'm gonna be using a artificial intelligence prompt tool that I have created, which is called course GBD. And it's pretty much a list of more than 500 prompt that you can input to charge a, B, D, and then charged with they will give you results based on those questions. I know this might sound a bit confusing, but it's, everything's gonna make sense in those lessons. If you want to have access to core CBD, which is a very, very interesting and very useful tool for course creators make sure to send me an email and I will be in contact with you. I'm gonna send you gourds, GBD. So enough talking. Let's move into the first lesson of the third day of the seven-day course creation, which is going to be how to, how to outline our courses with DVT. So thank you very much and I'm going to see you there. 10. Outlining the Course: It's time to outline our course again, we're gonna be applying our course using gourds, DBT, this artificial intelligence prompt that I have created specifically for course creators, which is going to be extremely helpful again, for our course, outlining through towns would be the, again, we're going to be generating all of those relevant information about our courses. And we are going to be mentioning everything and keeping track of everything in a Word file that I've created. So this is how I like to set up everything in my desktop when I'm outlining a course. Okay, On the left we have coercivity, this artificial intelligence prompt that I have created, which again, you can find emailing me, I'm gonna send you, I just don't want to release it completely. The public send me an e-mail and I'm going to send you to LGBT coercivity. Then we have charged with the middle of our frame pretty much this is going to help us, again acquire relevant information from the Internet, which we could help in our course outline. And then on the right, we have a Word document which we're going to be pretty much based in everything from Judge be d. So we have all of the relevant information that we want in a Word document. So pretty much how to navigate in coercivity. This is the problem list again that I have created. In every single category that we want to analyse and digging, we have a completely big list, pretty much of prompts that we need to use. These are the categories that we want to use when outline our course, okay? One, a general course theme, a topic research, target audience research, the course title, obviously we need to brainstorm a title, brainstem a description and braced on the course, outline ventrally. So let's start by thinking of a course theme. Let's say for the sake of this tutorial that I wanted to create a course around smartphone video Griffin, which I have a course in smart and videography. But let's say that I want to again create a course on smartphone videography. So we're going to topic research, part of course DBT. We've got all of those different course topics and prompt to use e.g. if I prompt them, we can input in charge, but these, this one, my online course page offers. So you input pretty much what your online course page offers to help customers achieve their goal benefit. So let's copy this and paste it in charge with it. So my online course page offers, let's say, smartphone videography courses to help customers learn how to shoot videos with their smartphones. So we are inputting this in charge be d, and we're letting this artificial intelligence tool pretty much know what we're about. So don't pay attention into the answer that charge, but it will give us in those first prompt that we input. Because again, we just want to let the program know what we are about. Charge with it is a very helpful from a by the way, I have a complete course on how to use judge buddy for YouTubers. And the cool thing about this is that it remembers the conversation, the conversation that we have. So the more you talk to in a new chat with somebody, the more helpful it will be. So e.g. in the course theme now we write smartphone videography. So smartphone videography is going to be our course theme. Now, we can actually add more prompts and discover more things about this industry. E.g. act as a market trend analyst and provide insights on the future of and then you ride your horse nice. So act as a market trend analysis and provide insights on the future of smartphone videography. Now, based on the answer that charge video will give us, we can actually compromise basically the type of course that we're going to be graded. So let's see, there is an increasing demand for smartphone videography. Okay? We have a growing importance of video content and advancements in smartphone camera technology will be much benefit. This nice. Okay, in a distant we have emergence of new trends and integration with other technologies. So many, many, many advancements. Okay. The most important prompt in my opinion that I have created in the topic research part, of course CBT is this one right here, suggests then course topics in the niche off and then you've pretty much based your nice. So let's go ahead and paste this suggests then course topics in the niche of smartphone videography. And let me tell you back in the day before, a judge with this was extremely hard actually to brainstorm all that stuff. But this is like a cheat code. Again, using chatter between artificial intelligence has massively helped course creator because graders in pretty much brainstorming and outlining their course. So all of these now, our course topics in the initial smarter and videography. So introduction to smartphone videography, a beginner's guide to using your smartphone to shoot videos. Advanced smartphone videography techniques, lighting and composition for smartphone videography. Video editing with your smartphone, sound recording with your smartphone, create, creating engaging video content for social media. That's good. This is a good one. Creating and editing time-lapse videos, creating a 360 degree video with your smartphone. So let's actually choose this one, creating engaging video content for social media. A course that focuses on creating video content specifically for social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. So we copy this and pretty much based it in the course theme part of our Word file. So this is the course team creating engaging video content for social media. Of course, that focused on creating video content specifically for social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. This could also go in the topic research park, by the way. So it could go here. This is pretty much the same thing. Of course, theme and topic research is pretty much the same thing. So now it is time to research the target audience. So why do we go? We go again to course DBT back and we go to the target audience research part. And the target audience research part. As you can see, we have more prompt to use to actually see which people are interested in this type, of course. So first of all, let's actually let charge, but they know that we choose this file. So let's say I am going to create a course titled. We're going to change the title, but I just want you to know that I'm grading this course. Okay? That sounds like a great course. Okay, cool. So not Saturday pretty much knows that from all the courses that it's adjusted as we choose this course, pretty much create an outline and target audience research and all that stuff. So now we're done with this. Let's actually input some target audience research prompt so we can know our target audience better using artificial intelligence. So, which people do you think would benefit more from this course? Copy paste. Which people do you think would benefit more from this course? Let's see. This course will be beneficial to a wide range of people, including business owners and marketers, influencers, and content creators who want to create engaging video content for social media platforms. Let's see. Business owners, marketers, influence on content creators. We copy this, paste it here. So this is our target audience, okay, marketers can use social media to reach a broader audience. Business owners want to promote their brands or products, influencers and graders who can use this course to learn how to create more engaging with your content that resonates with their followers. Many, many stuff. Now, once we have a broad idea of our target audience, it is time to actually be more specific and nice down to one type of people. We're all those, so we need to choose, do we want the scores to appeal to business owners, marketers, influencers, or content creators. So let's pretty much choose to go with influencers and content creators. So we're gonna do this, act as a market researcher and provide insights on the media consumption habits of my target audience. And now our target audience is going to be influencers, again on content creators. So act as a market researcher and provide insights on the media consumption habits of content creators that could be interested in this course. Let's see. Again, from all of those, we decided to rule out business owners market is and influencers and only use content creators. So let's see, social media is a primary source of inspiration and consumption for content creators. Most common creators are on social media. Video is the most popular content format alone. Graders short-form video again, is becoming increasingly popular among comic creators. Again, the majority of conjugated use smartphones to create their content, many convenience or self-taught and rely on online resources to improve their skills. So again, content creators is a very, very hot audience to structure this course around. So we know that Kunqu radius use short form video content, videos or more most popular content format. And again, they learn their skills through social media. So how could we use all of these things to create a course title, a description, and an outline. So pretty much let say that again. Content creators, we're gonna, we're gonna focus in content creators. So how are we going to create a core style now, of course, the more prompt by the way, we use, the more specific we're going to be on, the more information we're going to get. Again, I encourage you to use as many problems as you want from coercivity. The more you interfere with artificial intelligence and the more things you ask, the more information you're going to get obviously. But for the sake of this tutorial, just don't want to waste all the time. It's going to course titles. And pretty much those are some titles, templates that I have, but we want to focus on a course. Title suggests then search engine optimized title for an online course about this, the best prompt, we copy this, paste it here. And we say suggest then search engine optimized titles for an online course about, again, smartphone videography for content creators. Okay, Let's get a bit more specific here that focuses on creating video for social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Okay, so now we're going to get ten search engine optimized titles. And the key here is the fact that those items are going to be search engine optimized. This means that they're going to rank on search results, and this is extremely important. We're in publishing our courses into Skillshare and Udemy and online course marketplaces. So these ladies gentlemen, are our ten titles that artificial intelligence brainstormed for us. Let's take them out. Mustering smartphone videography for social media, a Complete Guide, creating engaging social media videos with your smartphone. Smartphone photography one-on-one, how to shoot high-quality videos for social media. Now, from all of those, the next prompt immediately after this brown that we added right now, let's just then ten search engine optimized for an online course. The next problem is this one from the above-mentioned titles, keep the most search engine optimized one, we copy this, we paste it. And now pretty much charge would be D. Analyzes those ten titles and lets us keep the most search engine optimized, one, which is of key importance. So this is pretty much the most search engine optimized title, mastering smartphone videography for social media. A complete guide. This is what we're keeping. And we are going to copy this. Paste it right here. Let me do this. This is our title. And now guess what we do. We go back in time to brainstorm our description. We could, of course descriptions. Okay, and we are pretty much going to copy this first prompt right here. Based it created description for a course titled with Copia title. Okay, we paste it right here. Great, Let me fix this, which elaborates on core theme of the course. Let's say elaborates on smartphone videography. Principles for content creation and targets, obviously, content creators. It's pretty much it fill in the blank game at this point. Make sure dimension five key points and search engine optimized description. Let's just say make sure to search engine optimized description. Okay, so we press this button right here and now we wait for our beautiful description to be generated. And this is first of all going to be search engine optimized. And this plays a huge role because we want our descriptions to be search engine optimized and drag this so that it's going to adhere to our course topic because we asked pretty much artificial intelligence is its activity to create inscription that adheres to our course topic. So here's the search engine optimized code description for your course. Description. In today's digital age, concretion is all about engaging video content and social media is the most effective platform to reach your audience. If you're a greater looking to step up your game and social media video creation. This course is for you. This Complete Guide will teach you how to master the principles of smartphone videography for social media. Again, as you can see, this is an amazing course description. We copy it and paste it right here. So based absolutely gold. Again, this would take so much time back in the day you, you can't even imagine. And this again is search engine optimized, which means that the keywords are there. And the search engine algorithm will run our course up there because we use artificial intelligence, which pretty much is a computer. We can't go wrong. This is the most search engine optimized description for a course titled Mastering smart videography for social media, a Complete Guide. I'm very, very excited about this because again, back in the day we didn't have this. We need to brainstorm all that stuff. But now we've got this luxury trades within artificial intelligence then especially those prompt list. So this is very, very interesting. Now time to outline our courses and guess what we do. We say, or we can just go from here from course TBD actually, let's say creating a course, course outline. Okay, So let's say provide an outline of a desired number of lessons scores around your nice title, the course that we have. So provide an outline of a, let's say then less than Coors around, around. Smartphone. Videography for content creators. Titled We just base our title. It's very, very simple stuff, honestly. Title. And we based our title. So let's go and now guess what? There's gentlemen, we're going to have a literal than lesson outlines. So it says less than one introduction, the smartphone videography for social media and the key points that you need to govern its lessons. So covered the importance of social media video content, overview the course continent structure, overview of smart videography equipment than less than two, we discussed about the fundamentals of smartphone videography. Lesson three, we choose the right equipment. Less than four we should we do with our smartphone again, tips and techniques for shooting high-quality videos. How to use your smartphone cameras and videos for settings for video. How does it B-roll footage? And then less than five, we discussed about advanced smart videography techniques. This is extremely, extremely, extremely useful. We're going to start going to copy everything. We copy it, and we paste it in our course outline. And it's done. And it's done. And this is our course outline. You can make this Word document prettier, but this is gonna be our guide. And the thing that I usually do is that I print out this Word document so I can have it. I can actually write notes above it in each lesson and make sure to actually keep this course outline. Because based on this outline, we're going to be scripting our courses in the next lesson. So ladies gentlemen, I hope that you enjoyed this lesson right here. It's gonna be extremely beneficial for you if you again, that download course DBT and this prompt list and use it in chat. This is by far the most optimal way to alpha. And of course, the most important thing here is again, I can't stress the importance of it enough. The fact that we actually created search engine optimized descriptions, search engine optimized titles, then again, then Lesson course, which is not going to lose due to the fact that this is graded by computers is created by artificial intelligence. Now I don't want you to stress about the fact that the outline is graded by a computer and it's not going to feel, let's say human. It's going to feel human because we're gonna be delivering the information in a human way by adding our personality, again, trades into the scores. I don't want you to be stressed about this. This is a tool, again, it's not going to replace us, but it is a very, very, an extremely useful tool. So thank you very much for sticking up until the end of this lesson. Now let's go ahead and actually script the course and be ready to shoot the course in the next days, then you very much and we're going to see you in the next lesson. 11. Scripting our Course using AI and Chat GPT: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the scripting lesson of day three. This is where the fun begins again. Now that we've done the outlining of our course, we know the different lessons. We've mentioned everything in our Word document. It is time to ask for GPT-2 actually scraped our course. Now scripting our course is pretty much we have two ways of doing this right? Scripting are gorgeous. A word by word format. So pretty much every single word that we're saying, it has been scripted, so we pretty much copy what we see in our screen. And the second type of scripting is scripting by bullet points. So we must have bullet points in which the freedom, the greater freedom, if you will, to elaborate on them. In my opinion, the best way to script your course is through bullet points. We don't want to follow word by word, everything that is dictated to us by an artificial intelligence program. But if you're about that, There's no, absolutely no problem. We are going to be scripting in both ways. In my opinion, I again, scripting bullet points. So I have some bullet points in which I know that I want to elaborate on. I just elaborate on them freely. But if you're a beginner, many times it is much more rather do script again, then a word by word format so you don't lose your work. So again, let's launch our setup. The setup is going to be following is exactly the same. We've got again, coercivity charged with D and our Word document. And let's just move into the last page of our Word document and be ready for our script. So we're going to be scripting lesson by lesson. And right here in touch with you, we have our different lessons regardless in one lesson to lesson three, less than four, less than five, up to less than ten. So before we scraped word by word, let's just choose a lesson, e.g. let's start with lesson one. Doesn't one introduction to the smartphone videography for social media. And we have three bullet points. The importance of media video content, overview of the course content and structure, overview of smartphone videography equipment. Now, based on that, let's go with CBT and actually on the scripting a course part. So i've, I've made courses within a way in which we have general scripting, prompt, scripting word by word, and scripting in bullet points. So with general scripting branch, again, we asked e.g. what are the key concepts and theories that will be covered in lesson one, just to help us escape, Let's say by ourselves, we ask artificial intelligence and charged with the two pretty much let us know about the key concepts and then we'll go ahead and actually scraped by ourselves. This is not what we're gonna be doing in this section right here. Let's actually directly asked for touch every day for a script. I'd go pretty much in bullet points. Script, desired lesson in important talking points. Make sure to mention some important stuff. So obviously go here, script desert lesson in important bullet talking points. Copy this with based. Okay, So script less than one when there's alveolus and one subscript less than one in important bullet talking points. Let's see if it's going to recognize this many times. Okay. Let's see. Okay. So these are the bullet points in which child to be debris months introduces us and wants us to elaborate to have a successful lesson one. So again, let's go to script here. We say less than one. Okay? Of course we can make those better, bold like bigger letters and stuff. But for this demonstration purposes, Let's not focus that much on the aesthetics of our Word document. Okay, so less than one introduction to smartphone videography for social media based this, again, let's change it to here and now it's time for the script. And this is the bullet points script. We copy this, paste it here again. This is our bullet point script right here. Okay? So less than one interaction model, the regression social media, social media, video games is becoming increasingly important for businesses and individuals. So elaborate on that smart videographers and affordable accessible way to create high quality video conferences on media. Elaborate on that. This course will cover the fundamentals of spawning videography equipment and accessories needed during techniques, editing, post-production and optimizing videos for social media. So this is not exactly the script that I'm looking for, especially if we're doing a bullet point script. So let me actually do this. Let me introduce again less than one charge between because obviously there's not a perfect program. Let's say. This is going to be the first lesson of my course. And we based lesson. Okay? So now, but again, touch it with the wind, form it again about the first lesson of the course. It provides us with a square root. What we don't need that much at, at the moment. So let's press stop generating and now create. Mentioned, better mentioned. Then. Talking points. To be covered. In this lesson. So let's see. Here are ten possible talking points to be covered in lesson one. So this is very important. This is what we're looking for and this is what starts with a good and give us with this problem that mean booted. This is the pretty much the bullet points scripting method that I'm talking about. So elaborate on the rise of social media video continents impact on business individuals elaborate on the benefits of creating video content for social media, elaborate on understanding the target audience and how video content can help you connect with them. So pretty much these are the bullet points that we need to elaborate by ourselves if we don't want to script word by word. So these are the talking bullet points. This is extremely valuable information and extremely valuable stuff. And very, very interesting because again, we just look at the bullet points, elaborate for 5 min, look at the next bullet point, elaborate and five-minutes. And this goes on and on. And this is a very cool process. Okay? If we don't want to script in a bullet point format, we can again script word by word. So now we go word by word script. Okay, Let's see. Provide a script for lesson one. Let's see if it remembers less than one. So it remembers, welcome to Lesson one, introduction to smart for videographers, social media. In this lesson, we'll cover the importance of social media via Content, an overview of the course content and structure, and an overview of smartphone videography equipment. Then how we literally start with the script. Imagine me talking to you with this group that is totally doable. Say the rise of social media, video content has transformed the way businesses and individuals connect with their target audience. Video content is one of the most engaging and effective ways to convey your message and share your story. Whether you're a business owner, influencer, or content creator. Creating video content for social media platforms is essential to reach and engage your audience. So again, it looks good, right? It looks good. It looks good. And this is the beauty of artificial intelligence. This is the word by word script that we have for this course. We can keep the text only. And if you literally want to create a course and convey to your audience in a word by word format, you can actually buy an accessory that goes in front of your camera or in front of your smartphone. So you don't actually look at your computer. You look directly at your camera and you can see the words of your script, just moving and moving and moving. So that's pretty cool that this is pretty much how you script the course and you can do this with every lesson of the course obviously, then we move to our outline. We pretty much go again to our outline, let's say less than two of our outline, we copy it. This is the fundamentals of smartphone videography. We asked for testability to elaborate more and less than two. And then we ask that to be the again to suggest then talking points. If you want to script our course in a bullet point format, or to script less than two from the beginning to the end. And this lens gentlemen, is how pretty much in ten to 20 min you can have a completely scripted an outline course with a title, a description, a target audience overview. We know that it's gonna be search engine optimized and this is of extreme importance back in the day. This would take weeks and weeks to actually gather all this information. And by using coercivity, artificial intelligence, and preventing noting tool, you can do this in ten to 20 min. Now that we have completed everything behind the scenes to create our course, we know our gear, we know our software. We have set everything up. We've done the outline, we've done the scripting, our course is ready to be sold. It is time to move to action and clear your throat. Because in day four we are going to be shooting all of our course in a single day. So I can wait for that. I'm going to see you in day four of the seven-day course creator challenge. 12. Storytelling Basics: Welcome everybody to the fourth day of the seven-day course. Greater challenge in this day right here we're discussing about storytelling tapes, were discussing about tips on how to structure your PowerPoint presentations to help with shooting. And were also discussing about camera placement, lights placement, how to serve the perfect scene to suit your course. Now this small introductory video of the fourth day before we actually start and dive in and start scripting and shooting our course in this day right here, this is the day in which you will be shooting your course. I want to discuss about the importance of storytelling and one or two things that a beginner doesn't know and an intermediate to Pro Course Creator definitely knows. I don't want you to know them from now, from the beginning because those things took me a lot of years, let's say to master and to understand. So in my opinion, for you to know them right off the bat is of key importance. So in order to understand storytelling, we need to take a step back and actually think as a course consumer. So why does someone enrolled to our course? Why doesn't somebody just want a YouTube video or Google something to find out okay, to learn about it. Because they're not interested in the information that we're giving them. Very interested in the transformation that we're presenting. Okay, People don't want exactly to be educated from online courses. They want to be transformed. This is the biggest, the biggest difference between an online course and a YouTube video. Youtube video can give information to an audience, but the online course presents the opportunity to someone to be transformed from point a to point B. So we've got people that are in point a and they want to get in point B. And this is exactly where our courses are going to fit. Our courses is gonna be the vehicle of people to move from point a to point B. So to give an example, one of my most successful online courses is a smartphone videography course for beginners in which I teach people how to become a pro that say with videography, with just their smartphones, how to understand suit composed videos with their smartphone. Now, why did the scores sell so well? Because a lot of people are in point a, which means that they have a smartphone, but they don't know any videography principles and wants to get to point B, which is to be a competent videographer with their smartphones. This is where the vehicle to get them from point a to point B. My course comes into play. Now, where does this stand with storytelling and why do you need to know this information when filming your course? Well, due to two factors. The first thing is that when delivering the information, when talking to a camera, I don't just want you to give them facts and give them information because they can find those facts and they can find that information online. What it wants you to give them is transformative information. And this transformation that has been applied to you needs to also be applied to your audience. So give them your personal experience, give them your personal Vault, give them your personal tips and tricks and disagreed segment to my second point, which is that when we're talking to a camera, you don't wanna be talking like you're talking to 1 million different people. Again, your course might have 1 million enrollments, and I always said you have 1 million enrollments. But this relationship between a teacher and a student from the other part of the PCR, wherever you are watching this course, is a deeply personal relationship, okay? It's not like we're talking to 1 million different people or thousands of people in an audience. This is a one on one type of communicates where I want you to treat it this way. The best thing as an online course creator is when you're looking at the camera, I want you to think that you're talking to your younger self. So again, when we're teaching something, we have been through this transformation. We have underwent this transformative experience, but their younger selves didn't do so. Okay, So please talk to your younger self. Give your younger self tapes, rakes give your younger self story. Don't just deliver information because this information can also be found on line. Okay, you're not the first one to reinvent the wheel or something. So please talk to your younger self. Talk with tips, tricks, personal examples, and people will watch your course throughout. If you start sounding like a robot or just delivering information, people are gonna get bored and they're gonna look at this formation way faster, okay, from another source. So that being said, welcome to day four of the seven-day course created challenge. And in the next lesson we're gonna be discussing about how to structure a PowerPoint presentation and actually record longer lessons for Skillshare Udemy and other online course marketplaces. So I'm gonna see you there. 13. Creating a Powerpoint Lesson: So depending on where we want to upload this course that we're creating in those seven days. Again, we need to have the scores of different lengths. And again, we need this course to be engaging. So what is the sweet point to create a lengthy course that is also very engaging. I've tried many techniques and many different approaches to this problem, which is the main problem pretty much in course grades and I get degraded because that is engaging. Now, despite storytelling, which could be really helpful if we're talking in a one-on-one abroad in your camera. The first thing that I did when I was grading course in the beginning is that I would make them scene and look like a YouTube video. So I will look at the camera and explained the camera and then hiring an editor or edit them myself, like in create those engaged in courses. But it took me hours and hours of editing and hours and hours of shooting. And it wasn't very fluent talking to a camera. So I was facing problems that I couldn't create a course in a week. I could create one of those courses every two to three months. So then I was introduced by a fellow YouTuber. There is also a course creator in this approach in which you pretty much create a PowerPoint presentation. So you brainstorm all the points you're going to be explaining to your audience in a PowerPoint presentation, which is going to be very, very basic. We don't need extreme staff transitions and stuff. We need This PowerPoint presentation to just help deliver the information. Because again, our audience is here for the information on your personal experience which can be transmitted to them through a PowerPoint presentation. So we grade those PowerPoint presentations Then, depending on how lengthy we want each lesson to be, pretty much add more slides and more slides. And we record ourselves and our screen as we elaborate on those PowerPoint presentations. And this is a very amazing way to create big lessons with the minimal amount of effort that are also engaging boost students are listening to you and they're looking at the slides, so they're getting the information, they are engaged. And this pretty much the golden rule. Because again, if we're uploading those courses on Skillshare and on Udemy, both of those applications, both of those online course marketplaces need lengthy courses that are engaged in, especially in Skillshare. We need our courses to be engaging. And in Udemy, we need our courses to be lengthy so they can justify the amount of dollars that they pay to buy those courses our students. So this is why I created this doesn't right here. In the seven-day course. Greater challenge, especially if we're trying to create a course in seven days. We pretty much need this life hack in which we create a PowerPoint presentation and we go through the slides with our audience. So this is what we are focusing in this lesson right here. In this lesson, I'm going to show you a PowerPoint presentation that I have created and how I would navigate through it and how I would explain this presentation to my audience. In addition to that, it is very easy to create PowerPoint presentations if we have scripted lessons using charged with D, because we can pretty much asked dotted with d, the grid bullet points of the important stuff that we need in each lesson and then just copy paste those bullet points in a PowerPoint presentation. This means that in an evening other so you can script your entire course and all the lesson outlines using charts to be the copy paste the key points in a PowerPoint presentation, which again is gonna be very, very similar. I'm going to show you how to create the most simple PowerPoint presentations that work. And again, keeping your audience engaged in your videos. Okay, and then pretty much be ready to shoot a course in the day four of the course gated channels that we are right now flawlessly very easily without remembering the script, without meaning to improvise. Because again, you've got your PowerPoint slides right in front of you. So this is a ground breaking lesson right here, and I'm very happy that you're here and I am here to explain to you this lesson. Let's dive into actually how create, how to create again, lengthy lessons which are very engaging using Barbara and presentations in our course. So the first thing we're gonna do is pretty much I'm going to launch screen recording with QuickTime and I'm going to show you how I would screen record my PowerPoint presentations using Camtasia. So as you can see right here, this is the interface that I have if I would be to launch Camtasia. And again, we have those four options right here. New project, new product from template open projects, and new recording. So the first thing we're gonna do is I'm going to press new recording again. When we press new recording, we have this panel which is going to pop up and we're going to choose the region. Let's choose e.g. this region right here. Okay, We press Okay. And then the next thing we're gonna do is after we have created a PowerPoint, is going to show you what a paper that you should create. It looks like I get the first thing that we're gonna do is to open our PowerPoint. And let's open e.g. this script Barb hundred here in a course that I have graded on how to use data bidding for YouTube. Okay, so go here. Okay. So very important thing. We won't be opening PowerPoint. After we've done with our PowerPoint presentation, we're going to be exporting PowerPoints as PDFs and we're going to be opening those PDFs. So if you have a Mac and you open a PDF that you have created from PowerPoint, it will look like this. We go up here, we press at single-page. So now we have every single page sewn. We make this as big. As it can fit in our computer screen. Then the next thing is that we all become Daisy again. We'll go here, choose region, and we choose to screen record only the part in which each slide is shown. After we press Okay, we've got our presentation so we can move this conveys your palate right here, and now we're ready pretty much a screen record our presentation. Now when we press record and Camtasia, we're actually going to be pressing record in our cameras. So we're going to be filming pretty much are screened with Camtasia and ourselves with our cameras. Then we're going to import both of those clips in Final Cut Pro and pretty much aligned or the clip that we saw with our camera to fit in this window right here in the top left, e.g. of our Camtasia screen recording. Now I want you to focus on how basic in-house symbol this PowerPoint presentation that I have graded is. But still, it looks great and it looks minimal. So in general, just keep it black or a white background. It really doesn't make any difference to our audience. We could go with colors and stuff, but honestly, black background with white text, looks professional and it works in engaging the audience. So the first slide is gonna be pretty much the title of our lesson gave is gonna be an outline on how to create this part rooms. Additionally, we're going to talk about, so the first line is going to be just the title of our lesson and the number of our lessons, e.g. this is lesson number four, create engaging with new scripts with Judge, with the first slide is going to be a general, Let's say, overview of what we're going to be elaborating on in this lesson right here. So why to use the LGBT, okay, for scripts e.g. due to its natural language processing capabilities. Okay, and then four points that we are going to be elaborating in this lesson. Now, in the first slide, this right here is gonna be the title of our video. We don't stay for more than ten to 30 s. In the second slide, I want you to elaborate the gate before you start explaining to your audience everything. So every point y, how do we gather relevant information? How do we input the information? How do we generate description? How do we find an optimized? I want you to explain to them the thought process behind it. Because again, remember that we're delivering information with our PowerPoint presentations, okay, but no one, no one likes. Someone. Looks at the PowerPoint slides and just reach out to them. The information is there. People can see the information. But I want you to talk about the transformation or your experience on how to utilize this information. So e.g. if I were to present this slide right here, I would say that there just isn't going to be examining why we're gonna be using charged with the four scripts. And again, I would start with a story, e.g. on how I came up with charge a, B, D, and how I used it for the first time in my course, and then how I gather relevant information. Why is this helpful for a beginner course grader, e.g. or a YouTuber, then why do we input this information? Because against LGBT is an artificial intelligence model in which it needs to happen to know information, okay, to give you the best answers. So more specific information you give it, the more specific answers you're gonna get. So pretty much explain the points that you have created in this slide. And then after that, we pretty much start by elaborating on each key point that we analyze them. The second side of our presentation, e.g. the first key point is gather relevant information. So we're going to have a section of the PowerPoint again on gathering relevant information. And then this section has subsections asked for the topic, target audience, key points to be covered. Now very important, we don't want to bore our audience. So please do not add excessive amount of amounts of texts. No one is going to read them. No one's going to read like a huge textbox in your slide. The best things you can do is the thing that I did right here is to add screenshots. So I added screenshots. I don't even read those screenshots. I just elaborate on what was my thought process behind this. If someone wants, he can pose and actually read what is happening in the course DBT program and the charge of the program. But again, what I'm doing here is that the elements that I've typed out are very, very simple. E.g. I. Just died out. Ask for the topic or optimize, then target audience. Very simple stuff. Combine it with screenshots and just make sure to elaborate on every single slide, urine, e.g. this you can see right now because it's outside of my screen recording. Also, you can see it seven out of 13. And this is pretty much a 15 to 20 minute lesson. I've created this PowerPoint presentation with a script from charged with D in about 10 min. So in 10 min, I created and scripted apron much less than of my course with 13 slides that gave me 15 to 20 min of video lessons. So this is absolutely amazing. Again, as you can see, we are in the first subsection of the PowerPoint, again with discussing the key points that we covered. So the third subsection of the first category of abandoned presentation, and then we move to the secondary degree, which is input the information. Again, we elaborate, elaborate, elaborate. What I want you to get from this lesson is the fact that our fiber and presentations don't really need to be fancy. We don't need a lot of colors. It is just, you need to find a simple way to convey information to your audience and combine the information shown in your PowerPoint presentation with transformative information and personal experience of yours, this is the optimal way because the final thing, the thing that we really don't want to be doing is that we don't want our audience to just be posing a video, copying what we've written in our slides, e.g. and then exiting our course, this is the absolute nightmare. We don't want our audience to make sense of our slides without us elaborating on them if this makes sense, Okay, we want our audience to be there and be watching our courses because they want our personal experience, our personal touch in the stories that we communicate in our online courses. I hope this makes sense. This is pretty much what we're doing when we're done with the Barbara presentation, we're done with the screen recording again. We press well, usually I have breast started recording AND gate. Let's say that we press Start Recording. Okay, we elaborate, we elaborate. We go through the slides. And when you're done with all of the slides, we press Command Shift D, which is the hotkey to stop the presentation. We name it some summaries, e.g. its name it. Scripts. There's two. Okay. Let me press complaint. And this panel will open up of Camtasia. This is the Camtasia panel again, as you can see, this is the timeline. This is the clip that I've recorded. And if you read in, you already have like a movie e.g. if we have recorded ourselves, we then stop recording in our camera. We grabbed the SD camera, put it in your computer, and then once we have our clip, let's say that, um, let's see. Let me find just a random video so I can help you. Let's say that this is our clip. We drag and drop like this, the second lesson of the course, by the way. But let's pretend that this is a clip that we have from a camera. We grab it right here. This is the clip. Let me zoom out a bit. So let's say that this is the clip that we saw with our camera as we were explaining the Camtasia setup. Okay. As we're explaining the Barbara institutions through Camtasia, we're going to grab this clip if we want to add it again from non-visa because this is gonna be done in Final Cut Pro. And I'm going to explain to you in the next lesson, how do we added those clips? In Final Cut Pro? We make, we select this clip, we'll make it smaller. E.g. let's make it about the size and we can move it in the top left of our clip. This, as you can see, is us in the top left of our screen and our screen recording plane, which means that the audience can also see us and the screen recording that is behind us. And this is again, the optimal way to keep people engaged, to deliver them your personal touch in the information that they want to consume and also the information in the PowerPoint format so they know what we're up to. So this is a pretty much okay, this is not a, let's say, a complete tutorial on how to edit those videos. We're going to have an editing tutorial in the next lessons. But again, this is a pretty much presentation tutorial, a presentation guide on how to create, let's say, Powerful Presentations combined with your personal touch to keep your audience engaged for the biggest amount of time. So thank you very much for sticking up until the end of this video and now let's move into a netting tutorial on how to edit all of the clips that you have created with your screen recordings and camera recordings of the fourth day, seven-day course, greater challenge than you very much See you there. 14. Editing our Lessons in FCPX: Welcome everybody to the video editing lesson. Now, we've discussed again everything on what happens before we start filming. How to film and actually tell stories and your audience so to keep them engaged. And also how to screen, record, and create PowerPoint presentation that keep your audience engaged for a prolonged period of time while also delivering information and keeping them again, watching your videos, it is time to discuss about video editing. And in this video I'm gonna be showing you exactly how I would edit the previous lesson that we have created in Day for. I'm going to show you exactly how I edited in Final Cut Pro, a step-by-step process, 0-100. So let me launch my program, this Final Cut Pro right here in a previous projects, I'm going to zoom in my timeline. Okay? And this is pretty much the keys and the steps that need to be following if you are going to be editing your course again with Final Cut Pro. The first thing is that I opened my pretty much SD card that I have imported in my computer, and I go to look for the file that we've shot in the previous video. So those are the two files. Okay, I pretty much drag and drop them in my Final Cut Pro program or get them drag and drop this one also. So these are the two files, these long files of me just talking to a camera and pretty much they're useless by themselves. But if we also have the screen recording, they are not useless. Up here you can see that Final Cut Pro is importing those files. So you can see we're importing media right now and it's importing fairly fast lane. And the final clip that we're going to be importing is a screen recording. Okay, so we're going to be dragging and dropping the screen recording, which is automatically saved in my desktop. Okay, we drag and drop it right here. So now we just wait for Final Cut Pro to import both of the files that we dragged it up for my camera and the screen recording. Now, as Final Cut Pro is importing the very important thing that we can do, which doesn't stress the computer, because again, we don't want to be stressing a repeat it that much when we're importing eclipse is to pretty much match the screen recording with ourselves. So how do we match the screen recording with the timing of our video recording? We do this by watching the sound waves. The sound waves is pronounced the sound right here in the middle, in the bottom part of our clips. And we want the sound of this recorded from the screen recording software to be exactly the same as the sound recorded from our camera or microphone in this case. And how do we do this? Well, pretty much grabbed the screen recording software and we check out okay, where the gaps in the sound waves are the same. So I have a feeling that if we zoom in a bit, let me, let me bring this bigger. Let me increase the size of the clips. So as you can see right here, the sound waves are exactly the same. This means that the screen recording software and the Gamma regarding match. And we can zoom in even more. So we can see we have a gap here in both of the clips and then I start talking. Again. Obviously, you can just play the clip and see if the sound is the same, but I don't want to just misguided with all the sounds everywhere. So now we grab this part e.g. and we just drag and drop the screen recording software to be exactly the same. Because you can see right here with our camera recording software. So the sound waves are exactly the same. This means that those two parts are on tune. The next thing we do is that we completely silence. We completely silenced our screen recording software. So we want audio only to becoming out of our camera, obviously in our microphone because the screen recording software is recording audio through our MacBook, which obviously is not the best source of audio. Now the next thing we're gonna do is that we are going to be trimming our clip x exactly where the sound of the screen recording software requirements. So here, e.g. okay. Because we know that before we started screen recording, it was just me explaining to the camera what's going on. So we don't want to have a screen recording behind that. We delete that. We also delete this part. Sorry. Yeah, sorry about that. It's a problem with Uncle bro. So we also delete this part. Okay. And how again, do we pretty much show the screen recording and ourselves in a panel. We do this, we select our clip. We go here and we make it smaller from this panel right here. Make a clip smaller than other thing we can do is I would go to Crop and actually grow bar clip, do our desired length. And I mentioned, so let's say here transform. And we can grab this clip. Again, put it in the top left, right here. And this is very simply how, okay, we have a screen recording and a camera recording and me elaborating on how I should my course. Now, these clips, as you can see, we don't have a recording. I'm just talking to a camera. Again, almost talking to a camera right here. So what I'm gonna do is that I'm going to trim those clips in which during this part and we suggest open. The camera and prepare myself with the recording drum diameter in the mouth. And the next thing that I'm gonna do is I'm going to crop in the clip and I'm going to color grade it. Very, very simple stuff. How do I call a greater clip? We can do it manually or automatically. The manual way to color a clip is we go here in this panel right here, which is the Color Grading panel. Again, if you want to learn more about fungal prohibit complete Final Cut Pro tutorials like 2.5 or 3 h of me discussing every single parameter of this program matures. You can check it in my course profile. But the basic things that we want to choose is we need to increase our mid tones, increase our highlights a bit, decrease our shadows just a bit. Again, just increase pretty much every parameter of the situation because the clips that came out of my camera really the saturated. Now after that, obviously we can see from the odor that there's nothing going on in these parts. I can just trim this down to here. Let's say the next thing we're gonna do. Oh, sorry, the highlights are a bit too high. I think this better. The next thing we're gonna do is that we're going to punch in a bit because this is a bit zoomed out. I liked it more bunched in. So let's say here. Okay, So let me zoom out. So as you can see, we have this part in which I elaborate in the introduction of the video, what's gonna be happening in this video? Then the next part that you can see this is not that we haven't called a graded or cropped in this part. We have done it in this part. You haven't done it in this part. So what I'm gonna do, very, very simple. Oh, sorry. You can see the microphone up here, so let's just trim it up a bit more and let's drop it in here. I think this is better. I think this is actually better because we could see the microphone right here. And how to do the same thing exactly. We press this clip command C to copy command F to paste the effects. And as you can see, we paste the effects of color, board, position, and scale. And once we press paste, this clip becomes exactly the same as this clip right here. So zoom out again. And we also want this clip, e.g. to have the same color grading profile as these clips right here we again copy command F, but we don't want our position and scale to be the same with those clips because we want this clip to be smaller. So what we're gonna do, we're just going to pick out position and only the color board. So now this clip right here has the same color profile as these clips right here. Now, at some point, at some point, our recording, I didn't stop the recording. I kept recording, but as you can see, I'm elaborating to the camera. Okay. So right now I'm elaborating to the camera, the recording part. And here I think I started elaborating on the camera right here. So what are we going to do? We're going to trim this clip right here. We're going to end the screen recording right here. So again with a blade to dream, and we delete clips. And now we want this clip right here to be the same as in the scale, again in the format like this clip right here. So when we do, we're going to copy this again clip based it right here and will not replace the color board because this clip is already called graded, if you can remember with the previous clip. So we're unchecking color board and we're checking position and scale. So when we press again based this, we're going to have n. This video is also cropped. We just untick the crop bar, and this is our video in which we elaborate on the camera again in a cropped version. Okay, so right here, I'm just losing my words, so let's cut that off. We got it off here. We got it off here. And then as you can see, I'm just elaborating on the camera in the Thank you very much. Parked at the end of the video, I want to say thank you very much, we'll see you at the end of the video. I'm just going to crop here. Delete this, zoom in a bit and add a transition. Growth is often decision, so it just pretty much fades away smoothly and not very abruptly. So cortisol drag and drop this transition right here. Again, I have a complete lesson on how to use transitions and utilize transitions. But these are very, very, very basic stuff and you can see the next thing that we can do, like it when editing, of course, lesson. For, by the way, what I have right here in the beginning of the video is the style that I have created, which is pretty much an introductory title in the name of the day and what we're going to be explaining in each lesson. So this is not that relevant. You can do it very easily. Let's just change it for this lesson right here. So it's day four, cores shooting. Let's say that this is the with capital letters PowerPoint recording. Again, this is going to be, if I'm not mistaken, lesson 11. So less than 11, we also have this file right here, which is the audio. So this will look like this and will sound like this. Let me increase the oldest ligands hear it. So depending on where we want to upload this course, we're creating those seven days again and again. Cool. So you can see that the introduction looks good. Then I start talking again. After I start talking for the first 3 min, the screen recording gums in place and I just elaborate on how to screen record with our PowerPoint after the binary point is done. Okay, we also have the outro, which is me again talking to the camera and elaborating. And then I'm say, I'm gonna see you in the next lesson. So I don't want to bore you. This is pretty much a structure when we're reading and videos. You can do this also in Camtasia, but it is better and faster to do it actually in Final Cut Pro. And what I want you to focus on is this. We have three sections when editing our clip. We have the introduction, the mid part, and the outro in the deduction would be much out there. And what's gonna be happening in our video or get in the middle part, we deliver the information and it's gonna be heavily backed and it's also going to have our personalized touch on personalized don't. And again, in the alto will pretty much summing up what happened in our video. And parents pointing out some key points that we want our audience to be delivering. So let's see time. We pretty much edited a whole course, a whole lesson of our course in 10 min. And I did it also as I was explaining to you how to edit this. So you can imagine that I can do this myself very, very faster if I didn't have to explain to you how it's gonna be done. And the other thing is that another thing that I would do if I were alone, I didn't want to bore you, is then also I would add some titles. So let's say basic title will go and titles panel search, basic tidal, drag and drop a basic tile right here, or in any place that we want, e.g. to point out one of our points even more. Let's say that I mentioned the word Udemy, right then I want to point out Udemy eight, right? Udemy. Select a title that is good. E.g. my best font is impact, will make this bigger. And we can add this in any part of our video that we think that we need, again to add more value. So let's say you didn't right here, this title appears, and then I can just trim it down in the length that I want. Obviously, this is not relevant to this video right here because I don't mention the word Udemy that much. But you get the point. I know that with this method that we discussed in this video, I am able to shoot and edit a whole course in about a day or one-and-a-half days. So you can 100% do it by yourself. If you suit 30-minute lessons, that you can edit them very fastly and you can have this coarse salt and edit it again in 1.5 due dates. Now I don't want to bore you more in this fourth day of the seven-day course. Greater challenge because we've got a lot of suiting to do today. But the final lesson that I'm going to have in again this fourth day is some tips and tricks that I have learned through the hardware again, through trial and error when creating those courses, again, which could literally help you tie your hands. And we'll make this course creation process very, very fast and very, very painless. So in the next lesson we'll be discussing some shooting tips and tricks again, some kind of reputation tips, some composition dibs, some Pretty much time efficiency tips that you will want to know. And then I'm going to leave you alone to suit your course in these days, I'm gonna see you in the final lesson of the fourth day. 15. 5 Filming Tips to Shoot High Quality Videos: So ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final lesson of the fourth day, the seven-day course, greater challenge. And again, I'm going to leave you alone to record your courses in this davis the day again in which we record our courses. And I think that you've actually learned a lot of things in this day. Now in this final lesson of the day for I'm going to actually give you five tips that I've learned again through trial and error after many, many courses of the creation of many, many courses. Again, back in the day, I used to create a course every three months and now I'm teaching you guys how to create a course in a week. I also create right now courses in a week, e.g. the seven-day course, greater challenge is created in a week. So in this video again, we're saving the five mistakes that I did that I believe that will help you massively when creating your courses. Now let's move to the first mistake that I did. And I think you're going to be benefit a lot from it. And it's the fact that I didn't have a fixed camera setup, at least throughout the whole days in which I am shooting a course. Imagine how much time you're saving, but just have a fixed camera, fixed night, and a fixed microphone. Trust me, it is. You're saving many, many hours, if not days. Again, in order to set up a composition, in order to put your camera on a tripod, set up the lights, the cameras, everything. It usually takes. We're from 30 min to an hour. So please find a way to stabilize your camera to have, let's say somewhat a permanent camera setup. So you just make this process frictionless. You open, you sit in your chair, you press record, and then you start recording. You need to make this course creation process frictionless. Because imagine sitting in your desk one day and you're going to have days like this in which you're just not feeling of like creating a course or you're not feeling like recording. Imagine how easier it is to say, okay, today I'm not recording, I'm bored and just go away. If you also need to set up everything, set up your camera, set up your lights, that'd be a microphone. It's gonna be almost impossible to create to complete this challenge in seven days. Whereas if you have a setup like mine in which the scripts are ready, the camera is there. I just press two buttons and I start recording. I start producing lessons and creating courses than it is way easier for you to just produce more and work more involved more in this field. So please have a fixed setup, at least during the days when e.g. the weeks in which you are actually in the course creation process. Now when you're done with your course, of course, you can just unmute your setup, store everything, clean, your gear to reflect before you create the other. The next course. This was the first duplicate. Have a safe and stable setup when you're creating a course. Now, the secondary don't have to give you is actually not go for with perfection. The fact that people are buying our courses doesn't mean that every single word that we actually set our camera needs to be perfect. You can see in this course right here, this course isn't perfect. But by the time that you actually give your audience your experience in addition to information, your course doesn't have the need to be perfect. People are here for your experience, people are here because they want to be transformed from point a to point B. And they saw that you have underwent from point a to point B. So it really doesn't matter the vehicle in which you get your audience from point a to point B, which is your course, doesn't need to be Perfect, Okay, when someone needs to go from point a, let's say the point there is a deserted island and point B is a city, and they want to get from point a again to the city. The vehicle doesn't play any role from the time that you take them from point a and you get them to point B, even if this is a rocket ship or just a simple bold, they don't really care about it. All they want to do is get to point B. So if you help your audience at the end of the day and they understand what you're saying. And they can evolve and they can actually create what you're promising in your course, then it's gonna be valuable course and it doesn't need to be perfect. E.g. this is the seven-day course, greater challenge. It is not perfect, but I'm giving you the information, I'm giving you the tips, I'm giving you the tricks, and it all comes to you utilizing the information properly and actually taking action. Now, the third point that I'm going to elaborate on is not that important than not that crazy. It's a small detail, but it's gonna be very helpful for you, especially in the sorting process, because I've sought hours and hours of video I have experienced in shooting videos. And I know for a fact that as content creators, as a rule of thumb, we shoot during the day, especially during the morning. And we added during the night. Don't switch that up. Make sure to shoot during the day and edit during the night. Because when we add it, we don't require, let's say that much energy, that much brainpower. When we're shooting a video, we need to be 100% here. We can check our phones. We need 100 per cent to make sure to give our audience most valuable began when we're editing, we're going to have a drink we concealed, we can check our phones and we can also add, this applies better to nighttime again, when we're more chill, we don't have that much energy, but when we're shooting, okay, you need to be energized. So make sure to shoot. Let's say after your breakfast or you can wake up, go for a run e.g. and then immediately suit. So you need to be fresh, you need to be energized when you're shooting a video. This is very important because the energy that you're conveying your audience will actually receive and they will act proportionately. So please be energized, shoot in the morning and edit by night. The fourth divided the five steps that have to give you in this lesson right here, is to focus again on transformation rather than information. Again, as we discussed in the second point, people want to get from point a to point B. The Internet is just an open-access source in which people can pretty much learn what you're teaching them about their board. And the means to learn this information is not, let's say, exciting enough for them to stick and actually analyze it. Now you no, the information that you're teaching to your audience, but you also need to deliver it in a way which is energized. So again, as we said, we deliver the information. You need to deliver the information from the gradient, of course, but focus on the transformation. Focus on adding your personalized experience. Focus on, again, personalizing this information when giving it to your audience. Focus on the transformation. Because if people were just interested in information, they would just perform a simple Google search or a 10-minute YouTube video. But why are there wanting your lengthy courses? Because they want to be transformed, not informed. So this is where when, this is the market gap that we need to feel with our courses, the market gap of transformation, not the market gap of information. Now the final point before I leave you alone, they're actually suit your courses is to make sure please do save all of your lessons on hard drives. Okay, You might think that it's just a video. It's cool, I don't need it. I upload the course so it's cool. Please save your lessons into hard drive. You never know when someone's going to ask to buy your course, let's say you never know if you're going to blow those videos, e.g. on YouTube, you never know what you're gonna do with those videos. I want you to remember that what we're creating here are digital assets. There are videos that once they're out there, they're gonna be generating us money month in, month out, month in, month out. So please respect them and treat them as assets. What we're creating here is literally video assets. So please is the final point to read your videos and respect your videos like your stocks, e.g. like your Bitcoin-like money assets. So then you very much for sticking up until the end of this video, and I'm gonna see you in the next one. 16. Creating an Introductiry Video for our Course: Welcome back to the fifth day of the seven-day course. Greater challenge, not we're done with actually shooting our lessons of our course. In the fourth day. In this fifth day, we're focusing and we're investing our whole day into shooting and editing the perfect introductory video for our courses. And I can't stress enough the importance of a great introductory video back in the day when I was starting to create courses. Okay, I would shoot the course and just shoot fastly and introductory video because I really wanted to upload the course and start generating revenue from it. So we'll just spend half a day during an introductory video was about 1 min. We'll just do it off script without scribbling it without nothing, just saying stuff to sell the course without knowing anything about marketing, about scripting, about storytelling, I would just talk to the camera for 1 min, edited down and upload it. And this is one of the biggest mistakes that I could do because literally the introductory video as well as the thumbnail of your course, or just do marketing elements that you need to pay attention as a course creator, if you're uploading a course in an online course marketplaces such as Udemy and skills. Here again, we're not going to be focusing on marketing and this is one of the biggest assets of uploading on those online course marketplaces. But the only thing that we need to pay attention to is literally creating a great introductory video and a great thumbnail for our course. So please pay close attention In this day right here because this will pronounce, make, or break the enrollments of your course. Now, in order to help you understand and digest information than delivering to you in this fifth day of the seven-day course, greater challenge. I have also created a PowerPoint presentation. So again, this is going to be a PowerPoint lesson type of day. So one of the fifth day of the seven-day course, greater challenge. And let's dive into our PowerPoint presentation on how to create an edit introductory videos for our courses. So let's actually now dive into how to create an introductory video for our course that will double up as again, a marketing tool to get more enrollments and more revenue. So the biggest question that we get when creating those introductory videos, to spend a whole day on it, okay, We have seven days to create a course, and we're spending one of those seven days in solely this one to five-minute introductory video. So why do we spend a whole day on it? Well, first of all, it massively affects sales. It massively affect ourselves, especially in Udemy. The only two factors that will determine if your course will sell or not are the thumbnail and your introductory video like it is as simple as that, it massively affect sales. So we need a Dr. video to be absolutely perfect. On top of that, it massively affects enrollments and reviews of our courses. Not only sales, but also enrollments, especially in Skillshare. If you have a great introductory video, you're going to have more enrollments. And as we said, more enrollments bring more reviews, more positive reviews, and more positive reviews bring more enrollments. And this becomes a vicious cycle. In addition to that, it sets the ground for a healthy instructor and student relationship. If you establish yourself as an established instructor in the introductory video for your course, then the students will actually learn from you and positions you in a place in their minds in which you are deemed to actually teach themselves. If you don't position yourself in this hi, state in which you can actually teach your students something from your introductory video. They will not listen to you. They will get a refund or they will leave your course if we're talking about Skillshare. This is, there are some reasons why our introductory videos need to be absolutely perfect, obviously. Finally, the introductory video are pretty much a snapshot of our courses quality. If you have a quality introductory video with great audio, great video, great editing, this will intrigue our students to actually enroll more because they see it as a snapshot of our course. They see that it's snapshot of our work. They see it as a snapshot of our teaching skills. This is why we need to find, tune and perfectly create the perfect introductory video. How are we going to do this? Because this sounds like a lot. Okay, we need to create this preference, another video, but we don't know how to shoot cameras out. Well, we don't know how to edit videos that well, we're not that good at storytelling. We're doing this thing in seven days. So this is why, ladies and gentlemen, there is actually a blueprint on how to create introductory videos. And the blueprint comes from this book right here, Expert Secrets by Russell Brunson. And it's not only an introductory videos, it is pretty much a sales streak. Again, we're going to be following it in this lesson right here. So the information that I'm going to be delivering you in this fifth day of the seventh equals greater challenge is absolutely golden and it comes massively from this book right here, which I 100% recommended view to read. It's called Expert Secrets again by Russell Brunson. So this is the blueprint that we're going to be following the seven step Introductory, the four-step, sorry, introductory guide again for introductory videos of our courses. We'll start with the origin story, then remove the vehicle story, the internal belief story, and the external beliefs story. So this is gonna be the theoretical part that we're gonna be focusing again in this day of the seven-day course, greater challenge. We're going to have one lesson in the origin story, one lesson for the vehicle story, one lesson for the internal belief story. In one lesson for the external beliefs story, trust me, everything's gonna make sense. There's gonna be a very valuable lesson to you. And if you actually nailed every single one of those stories, if you nail the origins story, the vehicle story, the internal belief store in the external beliefs story. This is going to be the crown jewel gave the ultimate introductory video of your course. You're going to have the biggest amount of enrollment, the biggest amount of revenue, and the biggest amount of Peer-review, which are the three things again, that we're gonna be focusing on when creating the ultimate introductory video for our course. So enough talking, Let's move to the actual delivery of the information with your cold digest. Please take notes. This is gonna be one of the most valuable lessons of this course and we're going to start with the origin story. Thank you very much and we're gonna see you there. 17. The Origin Story: If you follow again, the fourth step introductory guide, you can see that the first step is as sharing our origin story. So in this video, we're gonna be covering what is an origin story and how to share a successful origin story. So pretty much during the origin story, you share your backstory, your journey, and how you discovered this new opportunity. And this new opportunities is pretty much the fact that thing that you want to sell, again, your course, it's pretty much the new opportunity, this opportunity that moved you from situation to situation B. Where situation B is the place where your viewers and your potential students want to be in situation a is where they are right now. And you used to be this new opportunities, this new opportunity, this vehicle to bring your audience from situation to situation B. So you need to share your backstory, okay? Tell him a story in which you wear in situation a. Okay? And your journey to how you came up with this framework, if you will, to become a person of situation, be very, very important, is to actually analyze how he discovered this new opportunity. So the given example, okay, please screenshot this or write down a note that this is what you need to be following in your introductory video to give an example. This is my origin story in which I will present in my introductory video for this course right here, the seven-day course, greater challenge. I will start by saying that I loved teaching stuff and wanted to start gaming revenue from it was very good. I wanted to teach stuff and I wanted to make money from teaching stuff. Then I started teaching on YouTube, but the environment was more entertainment oriented rather than learning oriented. Okay, so this again is my backstory. Then I heard about the online education industry. This starts at the start of my journey. I started uploading online courses, but it took two to three months to create them again, this is my journey, how I tried to go from point a, which is The fact that I knew that I wanted to teach online, but YouTube wasn't really working for me to point B, which is what I revealed right now, which is then I released that I realized that I created more courses that could generate more revenue. And now I create a course every week and 20 x my revenue and my enrollments from it. So again, my backstory is the fact that I love teaching staff and wanted to gain revenue from it. Then my journey started with just pretty much done. I started teaching on YouTube, but the environment was more entertainment based rather than information-based. Okay, then this new opportunity came up, which is the online education industry, which I found out. Again, this new opportunity is my, the fact that I started uploading courses, but it took me too much time to upload a course, two to three months again. And then gums my framework, my secret recipe in how I pretty much achieved this, which is that I created courses, that I created more courses and I learned how to grade one course every week. So this is your origin story and you can apply pretty much these principles, the principles of backstory, journey, new opportunity framework, and achievement into anybody much industry or any type of online course that you're selling. Just like you need to remember that people want to get from point a to point B in your course is going to be this bolt, this vehicle that will, that will transform them from a person of the point a, three-person of point B. Now the final part is that when you're ending your origin story, people should think that your opportunity is the absolute best way to achieve what they need. So this is very, very important because then we're moving into the vehicle story. And in order for your vehicle story to stand by itself, you need to actually complete this goal right here. Which again, that when you're ending your origin story, people should think that your opportunity is the best way to achieve what they need. So again, let's move into the point of the origin story. First. Step one, you share your backstory with a story obviously. Again, I mentioned the word story too much, but you need to create a story to guide your students through your backstory, then through your journey in this new opportunity. And finally, how you discovered this new opportunity and what this new opportunity gave to you. This is the successful origin story and this is the first step again, of a successful introductory video on our course before we start actually selling our course and discussing about how important our courses and what they will benefit and analyzing the curriculum of our course and the lessons of our course and the staff that we have inside our course, we need to actually check those four steps. The origin story, the vehicle story, the internal belief story, and the external belief story. So now we're done with the origins story. Literally move into what is the vehicle story of how are we going to persuade our students to enroll to our courses by analyzing our framework in a brief fashion again, during our introductory video. In the next lesson, we are discussing about the vehicle story. 18. The Vehicle Story: So again, our origins story ended with the people knowing that our new opportunity that we presented in our origin story is the best way for them to achieve what they want. After a successful, again, an origin story. This is the result that we have in our audience psychology. The next story that we need to deliver them in the introductory video of our course is our vehicle story or our framework story. So this is what we're analyzing in this lesson, right here. In this lesson, we are analyzing the correct vehicle story. How to structure a correct vehicle story, which is pretty much going to be our course, outline, our process outline, but we need to elaborate on our process outline without actually giving the secrets. And how did this right? Because no one's gonna enroll in our course if we just give all the secrets out from the introductory video. So we need to be very careful and very strategic to reveal the correct parts of our framework. To pretty much get people to enroll without revealing everything. So people don't actually find value in our course. So this is what we're analyzing again in this distance right here. Welcome to the vehicle story. The people again know the new opportunity. It's time to let them know about the vehicle to get there. And this vehicle is going to be our framework. This is why I have highlighted this in yellow. So during the vehicle story, we need to share how we learn or earned this framework I'm going to be presenting in our course and finally, share the strategy that led us again to learn this framework. To get more specific here, in my case, I would share. How did I manage to create a course a week after creating more than 12 courses, I produced this framework in which we outline and scraped our courses with official intelligence and present it to our students using advanced storytelling principles, basic videography skills, and PowerPoint presentation. So now I can create a course every seven days and gain 20 times the revenue that I gained before. So let's break down this vehicle store right here. As you can see, the holiday managed to create one course a week is pretty much the transition between my origin story and my vehicle story. Okay, So I present them the fact that I managed the greater course a week. Then I ask them how their amounts do this and this is where I introduce my vehicle, my framework. So again, after creating more than 12 courses, I produced this framework in which, okay, So this is the introduction to my framework. And again, remember, this is how I learned or earned this framework. Again, I learned it by producing more than 12 courses. And then I get into details about my framework, but I reveal just, let's say the headlines of my process, of my framework, not how to actually do this. So I say that I outline and scrape my courses with artificial intelligence, but I don't actually teach them in my lecture video, how and what prompts to input in GDB or course DVD, which I'm gonna be giving you with this course. So you see that I give them the headline but not information there. People know that there is value here, but they don't know how to act on it again and present our students using advanced storytelling principles. Again, I'm telling them that we're going to be teaching advanced storytelling principles in this course. So they know that they need to teach advanced storytelling principles and against script with AI, but they don't know how to do this. They got the title of the framework, but they don't know the actual framework. And then again, basic videography skills and PowerPoint presentation. So again, I give them the recipe, but I don't tell them actually how to act on it. And this is pretty much how we're going to be delivering our framework in an introductory video of our course. And it makes absolute sense. Imagine that in the introductory video of our course, I will be like, okay, so you download course TBT, you input those, those prompts in touch with T, then read this book for a dance storytelling principles, then videography skills you can learn from YouTube normally would enroll. Because we explain our framework, we don't wanna do this. We just want to outline our framework. So after again, explain to our students the transition between our origin story and our vehicles story, which is the first line right here. Then how I earned this framework, which is the second line right here, after creating more than 12 courses, then in the third line we outline our framework, our framework in detail. And finally, we need to present them the achievement that we achieved after implementing this framework like it, because they need to see themselves achieving the same achievement as us. So now I can create a course every seven days and gain 20 times the revenue than I did before. So these are actually two huge goals. The first goal is that they drastically decrease the amount of time that they need to create a course. And the second one is that they gained 20 times the revenue, which again, very, very helpful. So again, you want your audience to visualize exactly what you're telling them. You want your audience to feel like they have created more than 12 courses and they learn this framework. Then they want you want your audience to feel how it is to script with AI how to present your students using advanced storytelling principles. And then you need to make your audience feel how it is too great, of course, every seven days and gain more than 20 times the revenue. So this is the vehicle story we discuss again after the origins story, our framework, how we'd see this framework, the achievement that comes with this framework, which in this case is revenue and saving time. And finally, we present this to our audience in a way though, in which we don't reveal everything about our framework, we just outline the basic principles of it. So now we're done with the origins story in the vehicle story, it is time to move to the most important part of our introduction, which is actually the internal belief story. So more information on that in our next lesson. 19. The Internal Beliefs Story: So welcome everybody to the third out of the four lessons in which can be analyzing in how to create the perfect introduction introductory video for your course. Now, this is a very unexpected lesson because when I was a beginner like you, I didn't believe that audience actually had an internal beliefs, internal belief problem, and we need an internal belief story to debunk that problem. Now, this is pretty much sounding very weird to you right now. If you don't understand this, but let me introduce you to why you need to add the internal beliefs story in your introductory video. And this is why this is one of the most important things that most beginners creators actually fail to again, present to their audience and this is why they miss a huge percentage of their enrollments. So what is the internal beliefs story? So as soon as people listen to your origin story and your vehicles story, okay, and this is a fact, they will immediately start doubting their ability to execute on this. This is human nature, this is basic human psychology. Once you present people and opportunity, they immediately start to doubt their ability to execute this. And this is why there is an internal belief story and an external belief started. We need to deliver it to them. In this video, we're gonna be analyzing the internal belief story. So what do we need to do? What does the internal beliefs storied need to again, delivered to our audience to debunk this internal belief theory that they have, you need to identify the false belief that your audience has and break them with a story. This is very general, so I'm gonna be giving you specific examples on how to deliver the internal belief story. But I want you to really understand the fact that as soon as you present again your origin in the vehicle story, people will start doubting their ability to execute on this. This is basic human nature, basic human psychology. People are lazy, okay, so we need to create stories to break this myth out of their minds. So how do we break those internal beliefs? We set our backstory, our journey, and we actually emphasize the part in which we weren't in the same level as our audience and discovered that there are no Actually problems and we can actually execute on what we promised in our courses. So we need to rewind the tape, bring through a story ourselves in the same position that our audiences right now and guarantee them that there is no problem and show them actually how we were able to do it. Now I'm gonna give you some examples of internal beliefs, especially in the type of course that I am grading right here, if the seven-day course greater challenge. So to give an example, okay, some unintelligible leave that one of my, perhaps students could have is that he's not a good storyteller. So how can I teach a course? How can integrate? Of course, if I'm not a good storyteller, if you identify this internal belief, what you need to do is to create a story, to actually tell them that it's okay and you actually weren't that good storyteller in the beginning. So the story that I would create to debunk the internal belief that people are not good storytellers is this. I would say, listen, I was the worst. And public speaking back in the day, I was afraid to go and share a PowerPoint presentation in front of my classmates. But then I realized that talking to a camera was completely different and way easier rather than talking to like say 2030, 100 people on stage, okay, you can talk to a camera on your bedroom. You don't need to dress up, you don't. You can press, pause and record. You can edit out the glyphs that you don't like. It. It's completely different. So this is the internal beliefs story that I would use to debunk this belief, this internal belief of my audience that they are not good storytellers. Do you understand what I'm getting there? Another internal belief, e.g. it would be this one. I don't know how to shoot good videos. They have problems. They don t think that they need to shoot good videos with their cameras. They can shoot videos with their cameras. So what story would I share to debunk this internal beliefs, fear that they have and actually have them enrolled in my course, I would say, listen, I wasn't good at shooting videos either. But once I realized that all you need to do videography wise is to stabilize your camera in some books and press record and then suddenly create courses, grade those video assets that make you money. Then there was a game changer. You serve the story, you bring yourself, you rewind the tape, and you bring yourself back in the position in which your audience is right now. So you bring yourself in state a. You might be in state B because you're the instructor, but you need to bring yourself in state a, like I sold the audience, can actually see you and be like, Okay, he used to be like me and then you explain how you debunk this internal belief. So again, they don't know how to shoot videos. I was like, Okay, yeah, I didn't even know how to use a camera, didn't know some basic videography principles. I just had my camera and some bookstore, my camera and created a course. So this is the final Durham believe started going to be analyzing is that I'm not good enough to teach. This is a very big one. In people that want to create courses. They don't feel like they are, let's say, educated enough or confident enough to teach something. And I would say listen, one day a friend of mine asked me to teach him how a great courses. And I asked him, Why do you want me to teach you and you don't seek information by professional e.g. filmmakers. And this friend of mine told me, this friend of mine told me that he felt closer to me rather than those faceless professionals that teach online courses online. So again, share those stories, share the fact that if someone has a problem that he's not good enough to teach, e.g. I. Will tell him that, Hey, look, you might not feel like you're good enough to teach, but you can teach someone that is one step behind you. You don't need to be like 20 million steps above him. If he's one step behind you, you can teach him how to climb a simple step and also, when you're smaller and you start teaching e.g. you don't need to be that professional. You can be unprofessional because people can relate with you. And if we will relate with you, they will listen to you and pretty much examined and digest the information you're giving them in a better way than actually receiving information for a big professional guy. So you get the point that this is how I would debunk this integral believes story. Now the big one than other big one is how do we identify the internal beliefs? Because if we haven't launched a course and people actually we can to know their internal beliefs. So how do we identify what internal beliefs have, what people, what are the internal beliefs that people have regarding to our course, regarding to what we are presenting in our course. Well, there are many ways you can go online and actually ask on reading e.g. or foreign pages, you can ask your friends e.g. you can go to one of your friends who you can be like, Hey, I'm thinking of teaching how to create a course in seven days. What do you think are some internal beliefs that make you doubt that you could execute on this and the friends would be like, I'm not good enough to teach. Okay. I am, I don't know how to shoot videos and I'm not a good storyteller. So then you need to find a way to create stories, to debunk those internal beliefs. So I hope this made sense. This was the first chapter of limiting beliefs of people, internal beliefs. Now, it is time to move to actually external lives. So this would be analyzing in the next lesson. 20. The External Beliefs Story: So now that we debunk the internal believes that their audience should have, now it is time to move to our external beliefs. And trust me, there are many external believes that our audience have before enrolling in our courses and we need to actually deliver stories again to debunk those external obliques. So this is one radicalizing in this lesson right here. What is the external belief? Now remember, after breaking turn their beliefs or gay, people will start thinking about external forces that keep them from becoming successful. People really don't want to put effort and time into things that easily, okay? They have internal beliefs and they have external leaves. And it is our job through stories to demand those beliefs. So you need to break those false beliefs about external forces that keep them from achieving their results. So exactly the same thing that we did with internal forces that keep them from achieving the results we need to do with external forces that keep them from achieving again, those results. So what could those external beliefs be? E.g. I. Don't have enough time. This is an external force that keeps them from achieving the result of enrolling intercourse. I don't have enough human lifetime. So a story e.g. that I could say in this case is that I've been gradient courses in parallel with my medical student studies. And honestly, it just feels like a good break from work while doing this online course thing. It doesn't take that much time. And again, I did this in parallel to my medical school studies, which actually take a lot of time. So this e.g. the story that I could say to break those external beliefs. Another external believed that people could harvest e.g. that I don't have a good camera. So the story that I would say is that I feel my first four courses with my phone and then managed to buy a camera with the revenue. So you don't need to have a good camera. I didn't have a good camera when I was starting out. But then again, the revenue and bought like a better camera and a microphone and all that stuff. So again, rewind yourself in which the time in which you were in state a. Again, remind your audience that you were actually in state a and thought you had to actually compensate for those problems that were occurring in state aid to become a person in state B, which in this case, state B would be the creator course in seven days. So that's pretty much concludes our lesson again in the origin story, the framework story, the internal belief story and the external beliefs story. V4 steps to create the ultimate introductory video for your course. Again, by the time you end with your external beliefs, story, your audience, the people that have actually seen your introductory video should have no doubts whether or not it's worth enrolling in your course. And they can actually execute on what you are calling them to do in your course. Again, this needs a lot of thought, that needs a lot of time. And you can actually develop your own story safe if you will. Some stories that you're always going to be saying when, when someone has an externality, e.g. or an internal beliefs. Because after some point, you know, the external believes that people have regarding your course and you know, the interval is that they have. So you can have those stories ready to be told, e.g. in other cases, rather than just your introductory video, if you're pitching the scores into an audience or stuff like that. So it's good to have ready external believe stories and internal belief stories. Now, this concludes the theoretical part of our introductory video, and now it's time to actually shoot the introductory video. So take your time. Please structure your introductory video correctly sued in another video. And in the next lesson we're discussing some basic editing principles in theory that you need to know before we start editing the introductory video. And then after that, we're going to be diving into the editing process. You're going to see how I will add my introductory video for this course right here. So again, the next lesson is going to be a full editing tutorial in theory, again, the principles that you need to consider while editing the introductory video of yours in theory. And then we're diving into action, which I'm going to be demonstrating to you how I'm going to edit my introductory video. So thank you very much and we're going to see you there. 21. 5 Essential Editing Tips for your Introductory Video: So welcome everybody to the lesson, to the editing lesson in which we are going to be outlining some basic theoretical stuff that you need to know when editing your introductory video of the scores. Again, V, adding principles that we're gonna be following for the application of editing. Again, in the introductory video of the scores are completely different from the building principal and the editing approach that we have on editing our lessons are introductory video again, needs to be perfect. And his wife have two separate lessons on how to edit your introductory video. So this is the first lesson and the next lesson we're going to be editing my introductory video with you. So I'm going to be showcasing again my thought process behind again, editing the perfect introductory video that they made you enroll in this course. So let's move into this lesson right here by analyzing five essential editing tips that you need to know for a successful introductory course video. So the first tip is regarding the length of our introductory video, depending on the course and the product will be presenting in our course, our introductory video. Remember as a rule of thumb should be about one to 4 min long. So I've broken down all of the sections of our introductory video. So make sure to actually screenshot the slide or just note this in one of your documents to have it when you're doing your introductory video. When we're shooting an inductor video, we usually have a 10-second introduction which would go something like this. Okay, welcome everybody to this course. This course is about this and let me tell you about my origin stories. So then you move to your origin story and our origin stories in general or about 30 s to a minute long. Make sure to mention just a story and also makes sure that the script, word by word what you're saying in your introductory video, this is very important. Again, we script our introductory videos because we need to make the best out of them, then our vehicles storage should also be 30 s to a minute. Then we move into our internal belief story, which should be again 30 s to a minute. And our external beliefs story should have the same length. Now, if you want to make your introductory video sorter, okay, and you don't have the time. Let's say that you don't want, like a four-minute long introductory video. You want a one-minute longer, a two-minute long introductory video. Depending on again, the course type Azure grading, you could actually remove from this equation the internal belief story and the external belief story. So you should 100% have an introduction, an origin story, a vehicle story, and un altro, those are absolutely non negotiables. Now the internal believe story and the external belief story should be added if you're presenting something in your course, in your value proposition of your course, that perhaps the audience isn't very sure if they want to follow and actually enroll in the course. But if you're teaching a course e.g. on how to edit Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Pro for beginners. This means that the ordinance searched for this topic and want actually to learn how to edit in Final Cut Pro, so they don't have any internal or external beliefs in the first place. So again, please implement the interim lead story and the external believe story. You're presenting your audience with a value proposition that they're not sure that they can follow. E.g. the seven-day course, greater challenge is a great example. In an introductory video, goods needs unintelligible even an external belief story because many people who have doubts, they will doubt if they can teach, okay, those are enduring beliefs. Again, they will doubt if they have time. Those are external beliefs. So we need to debunk those myths. This is what I had to mention regarding the length of your introductory video. Now let's move into the cats. The cats in helping you will see me cut. My Eclipse is pronounced when we played our clips and remove the middle part. So pretty much we need fast-paced cards, okay, this needs to be fast-paced, edit with no pauses, so you keep pauses inside e.g. when you stop to think what you're gonna say, this is absolutely non-negotiable. We remove the bullets from unpacked derivative is needs to be very fast paced. And it also needs to kind of feel like commercial, like you're trying to sell something. So don't be afraid if your introductory video fields commercial like this is absolutely all gay. Again, keep the absolutely needed stuff in there. Don't deliver too much information in your video. If the people like your vibe and the introductory video looks professional, they want to enroll and they will learn the information from your course. So again, keep the absolutely needed stuff in and make it feel commercialized. And again, very important point and we mentioned in the previous slide, make sure to script word by word your introductory video before delivering it. This is absolutely very, very essential because when we're spending a whole day of grading a one to two minute video at the end of the day, we need it to be absolutely perfect. There is no room for error. This needs to have a lot of thinking behind it. So please make sure that the script word by word, and I wouldn't even script with AI. I would just sit, sit down, brainstorm and script again, word-by-word. My introductory video, moving on to music, all of the introductory videos, well, most of the instructor videos have music or music you can download from YouTube again, makes sure. To not use copyrighted music. This is extremely important because with your courses, again, those are valuable assets that we're creating. Those courses will give us, and we'll be making money for months and months and months. So please don't take the risk, don't use copyrighted music. You can search if your video, if this music track is copyrighted. But usually if you go to YouTube and you took the description of a video, it lists if this video is free to use or it is copyrighted. So please don't use copyrighted music. We don't want to have any law problems. We don't have need to have any copyright strikes in our courses. Let's make sure that our videos are 100% safe and 100% could be extremely profitable. Again, used fast-paced drugs in your introductory video, this needs to be fast-paced, but obviously this depends on the course that we're trying to pitch a new trying to sell. So if we're selling a course, e.g. on how to play the piano for beginners. I won't add that much of a fast-paced music. I would just add piano. But if we're teaching a course on how to utilize the power of artificial intelligence to make the best out of our YouTube channel. We need this to fill futuristic. We need fast paced music in her introductory video, and we need to hype our audience to the fact that they're gonna be enrolling in our courses. So don't overthink the track, please. Music, isn't that important? We're going to silence or track anyways, you're not gonna hear that much of the music, but please don't overthink it because people spent gallons of virus thinking, visit the correct drug or this the correct track. Just use any track that fits the vibe and the tones jointly deliver with your course. Now finally, another thing that you're gonna be seeing me implicate actually in the next lesson is that I'm carrying the music in the parse. I want to emphasize what I'm saying in the video. So e.g. I. Would be saying, Welcome to the seven-day course, greater challenge than I would get the music and I would say, your ultimate chance to create video assets and start monetizing your content for months and months after you upload without doing nothing. So I cut the music where I want to emphasize what I'm saying, and then I continue the music in the more casual dogs of my introductory video. Moving on, sound effects. Okay, We discussed about music. Now it's time to move to sound effects. Sound effects. They're not essentials, okay, you can download sound effects from YouTube or from other online sources. There are always appreciated, okay, they make videos look more professional and you can add sound effects if you add transitions, e.g. an effect, you can also add sound effects in those transitions. You're going to see what I'm talking about in the next lesson. But please, The only thing that I have to say, welcome to sound effects is just make sure to not overdo it. Don't overdo it with sound effects. They can get very exhausting with the viewers if they all, they all the time they're listening to sound effects. So please make your sound effects complimentary to your music track. Don't make them like the major event of the introductory video, if you will. Moving on to our final point, which is pretty much the titles, this is extremely important. We're going to be using a huge amount of titles to visualize our key points in an introductory videos. And also, if I were you, I would script, I would mention in my script that part in which I want to actually add titles. So people need to visualize the important key points of your videos. And we're gonna be doing this with titles. There are many fonts to choose. The font that I'm using in this PowerPoint presentation are usually the font that I'm using when editing is called impact. So please use titles to visualize the key points of your introductory video. You're going to see how usually I actually use titles and mandatory videos. Also makes sure to add subtitles to boost your conversion rates. This is extreme sauce that I'm delivering a great Now adding subtitles, people unconsciously focused on the subtitles and absorb, digest more of your information. So by adding subtitles, you have extremely higher conversion rates. I have tried it to my courses and I know that subtitles work and they actually help with the student enrollments. Finally, consider also added emojis in your titles that this could just let you know, is set a more chilled and laid back down and it goes all feel a bit professional located. This guy isn't always just adding text. He also adds emojis. You can feel more organized. Again, people can feel the vibe you're delivering with your introductory video. So again, when we're analyzing all of those points that got the music, the sound effects, the titles. It all comes down into the vibe that we are trying to convey to the people that are interested in enrolling our course. We want our vibe to be the same as the perceived vibe that they want to have when reaching state B. Again, the name of the game here is that we're trying to move people from state a to state B. So the vibe that we're trying to convey with our edit is the person that is on state B. If you achieve this, people will trust you. They will enroll in your course and use your course as again, the vehicle to move from state a to state B. So enough with the theory it is time now to open our editing software. I'm actually going to show you how I edit my introductory video and how actually edited an introductory video for the seven-day course, greater challenge. So thank you very much and I'm gonna see you there. 22. Introduction to Thumbnails: Congratulations everyone for making it today. Six in the seven-day course creator challenge, I'm very happy that you made it again today six would have shot our courses. We have scripted our courses, outlined our courses, learned everything behind the course creation process. We have filmed and edited our introductory video, and now it's time to work again in this second aspect in the marketing strategy of our course, which is going to be our thumbnail. Again, let me mention that due to the fact that we're uploading our courses in online course marketplaces such as Udemy, Skillshare. The only thing that we need to do marketing wise is to create a great introductory video and a great thumbnail. This is why we're spending the whole six days of the seven-day course. Greater challenge in shooting and editing the best possible thumbnails. And arguably, thumbnails are even more important than introductory videos because no one is going to enroll to our course if he doesn't see our introductory video and no one's going to see our introductory video if we don't have an awesome thumbnail to promote our courses. Button day when I was creating courses, trust me, I would shoot a course. It will be ready after three months of shooting. And then I would see the thumbnail in like ten or 15 min, edit the thumbnail and upload it. And this was a huge mistake because again, the thumbnails are very, very important and usually they're very boring to make. So as course creators and YouTubers, we don't really think that much behind thumbnails, but please, we need to spend time, we need to create amazing thumbnails. So this way again, we're spending the whole day in our thumbnail creation process. Now before we start with suiting our thumbnails, I need to introduce you to the three types of thumbnails that we can create for our courses. The first type of thumbnail doesn't require any type of shooting with our camera. We actually are going to be sourcing pictures and elements from the Internet. And we're gonna be creating 100% thumbnails out of our computers. Again, we don't need cameras or any of that stuff. Again, those aren't 100% thumbnails created by online sources. So this is the first type of thumbnail. Again, those are a bit more professional. You can you don't need to show your face. Perhaps if you're creating a thumbnail to sell an online product or in some online courses. Again, this also applies to just download an image from the web and add some titles. I have done this in the past in mono my courses. Now again, this is not the optimal way, but it always depends on the type of course that you are creating. So again, first category, thumbnails are 100% sourced from the Internet. Second category of thumbnails. Our thumbnails in which we combine pictures that we have taken with their cameras, with photographs sourced from the Internet. So it's pretty much a combination between again, pictures we have capsule with the cameras and online source photographs. This means that we need to actually shoot pictures with their cameras open on cameras. Go through this process again in which we are going to take a picture from a video and I'm going to show you how to do this in this day right here, and then combine it with an image sourced from the web. The third type of thumbnail is a thumbnail that is completely and only made from a picture that we have taken from our camera. So perhaps we take a picture we edited slightly, we add some titles, and this is it. These are the three types of thumbnails. And I'm gonna show you how to create all of those three types of thumbnails in this video right here, and in this day, the sixth day of the seven-day course, greater challenge. The final thing before we start is that I need you to combine your thumbnails with the titles, okay, This is also a principle that applies in YouTube videos and YouTube creation. The thumbnail needs to complement the tile and together the title and thumbnail need to dance this amazing and delicate dance to intrigue the viewer to actually click on what we're selling them. So please make sure to brainstorm a title. And then based on the title of the course that you have brainstormed, create a thumbnail that compliments this. This is why we brainstorm the title in the third day of the course. Grade your challenge. And this is why we're creating thumbnails. In the sixth day, we need to have a brainstorm them ready titled to start tackling our thumbnails. So that being said again, welcome. In the sixth day of the seven-day goes greater challenge and let's move into analyzing how to create online thumbnails 100% without actually having to shoot with our cameras. Thanks very much and I'm gonna see you in the next lesson. 23. Generating Thumbnails form the Web: Welcome to our first chapter of the thumbnail Grayson, which again, we're going to be sourcing images and text from the internet and creating thumbnails without actually having to open our cameras whatsoever. In this lesson right here again, we're starting with our Final Cut Pro editing software. But again, the principles that we're gonna be discussing applied to any video editing software available. So this is the interface right here. I'm going to show you how to download the element from the web and edit them with Final Cut Pro. But again, you can edit it in any pretty much video editing software. It doesn't matter. I just edit my thumbnails in my video editing software and I'm going to show you how. So. The first thing is after we have opened our editing software, usually at the end of each lesson. So let's say that this is a lesson right here, okay, This is a video that I have for you too, but let's say that at the end of the lesson. Okay, I just leave space so I can import the photographs in the videos that I have downloaded from above to create the thumbnail. Now let's brainstorm. Let's say that we're grading a course on how to edit videos on Final Cut Pro. And I want to create a thumbnail for a course on how to create videos on Final Cut Pro. I'm going to open, okay, Google and I'm going to search e.g. Final Cut Pro. So this is the image that we have for Final Cut Pro. Let's see what we can use for the thumbnail. So obviously, I'm using the Final Cut Pro logo. So to actually have the logo, let's say fun Cut Pro logo. Png. Png files are transparent images that can be used again without their backgrounds. So you can see that this background right here means that this is a PNG image. I can drag and drop it into my desktop and I can automatically download it. Okay, so now we've got our PNG image. Let me drag and drop it into my editing software. So you can see that right here, I've got this PNG image that we take in from the web. Now the next thing that we're going to do is that we are going to need a background. So let's say, let's say colorful background. I want a background. I gave this kid work. This could work. This is a nice color, so I might even grab this right here. Let's see other, other backgrounds we could use. Let's say I'm going to write digital background. We're pretty much looking for a background to use the half behind the Final Cut Pro logo. So this doesn't work there, too futuristic for me. Let's say video editing background. This could work, this could work, this could work. This could work. E.g. I. Like this right here, which shows those video editing elements. So we can grab this. Okay, Let's see what else we can find here. This could also work, but you can see it has this stock image watermark so we can use it exactly. This is also cool. This could work. This could work, but it's not finally got bro, it's Premier Pro. But we can also use this. Let's see, Final Cut Pro background. So pretty much we are searching again in the internet to find the most appropriate elements. Do download. So k this array that don't just doing it very fastly for demonstrating purposes to show you how it's done. So okay, let's not use these and we got those elements that we download it. Let me import them right here. So we got this, we got this. Again, we also got the scholar. Okay, so we've got background one, background to background three, and we've got this, which is the Final Cut Pro logo. We're going to stay in the foreground. So how are we going, ingredient thumbnail exactly. Let's see. So first thing is that going to be, we're going to increase the size so it captures the whole frame right here, e.g. let's create three different thumbnails. Okay, So this again, we can increase the size so it covers the whole frame. And this will increase the size so it covers the whole frame. Now let's see how Final Cut Pro looks in each one of those thumbnails. Now what I want you to know is that in Final Cut Pro, the clip that is above plays first. What do I mean by that? If I grab this clip and I said above, PNG file, a final project can see that it covers it. Okay, So this clip plays first. If I grab this clip though and I put it below the front Cut Pro, you can see that that becomes the background. This is a very basic and simple Final Cut Pro editing principle. So again, here we have our first thumbnail. Here we got our second thumbnail, and this is our third thumbnail. So 123. The first thing I'm gonna do is I'm going to decrease the size of the Final Cut Pro logo. Okay, So let's put it here. The second thing that I'm going to do is then we're going to actually set these out-of-focus. So I want those to be out of focus because I think it's pretty destructive. And you can't even, it's kind of distracting, but I want them to be out-of-focus. So what I'm going to do is I'm gonna go here and select focus, drag-and-drop focus here. And you can see that they're automatically out of focus. Out-of-focus. We're gonna tweak those. Tweak it to here. I think this is perfect. And the same thing is going to be done here. So again, let's label the softness. Let's play with the amount. This, I think in my opinion is perfect. I don't like this. It looks very basic, so I think we can delete this. Okay. So we've got one thumbnail, one thumbnail due, and out of the two thumbnails, I got actually decided which is better. Both are looking very good, so we're going to keep them both and we decided in the future. So I'm going to show you actually two ways that we can make this thumbnail even better. The first one is to copy this PNG file. So we go to Command C and Command V to paste it. Again, we paste it above. So we got these two clips. Now, the below one we select and we are going to increase its scale here. Then we're going to our color grading panel and we're going to increase the exposure. And what you can see is that pretty much what we did is that we made a white outline very fastly in our final Cut Pro logo. In addition to that, we can actually pull focus. And with a focus you can see that this outline suddenly becomes a glowing outline. So this how you pretty much can very simply add the glow effect in the Final Cut Pro logo. So this how we did, we just added the glow effect in this way, we can increase the size of it like this. So now we can create a compound click, one of those with pressing C on your keyboard. And we have the spinal got broke compound clip. Now this could work. This is a great logo, but actually people don't know exactly what pretty much what we're referring to. Okay, so what are we going to do now? Let's go here in our titles and search for basic title. We love those basic titles as you know. So let's just write here Final Cut Pro then. Okay. Editing course or ultimate editing course, because we can see that the Final Cut Pro logo right there, so we don't need to write it one more time. So ultimate editing course, or pretty much anything or anything else that complements your title will change the font. Impact is one of my favorite fonts and you can download it from the web. We make those letters being right here, e.g. and we can change pretty much the font size. Okay, this is pretty much irrelevant. Let's go here though. This is my favorite part. This is a great tip that will make your thumbnails pop out even more. Go to distort and you grabbed the title and you just make the letters a bit sideways. This is very appealing to audiences, so you make it sideways. We increase the size a bit. Ultimate editing course, we have final cut here. Okay, again, read the title. Now let's add some perhaps drop-shadow. Drop-shadow. It's pretty much this. Like an outline but not exactly will make black behind. Okay, we pretty much color black behind the letters that will make the letters pop out even more. So there. I think this is better. Okay? And one trick that you can do is you can actually search for the contrast in colors. So what colors do we have behind the style? We have blue and we have purple. Okay, So let's search for the opposite color of blue. So what is the opposite color of blue? Let's see. What is the opposite color of blue? So the opposite color of blue, as you can see, is yellow. So what do we can do is that we can change the face of the style to yellow. Look at this, look how much, how much it pops out. Now, how useful is this deep to actually search for the opposite colors in the color spectrum and add this color to your titles. This is extremely important. Can you see how much it pops out from the background? Okay, because these are two completely different colors and I like the fact that this yellow actually the same with this yellow. And to make it even more, okay, what we can do is to actually go here, grab this, and select this yellow. So another tile became the same yellow as the yellow in the Final Cut Pro logo. This in my opinion, is an amazing title. Okay. We did it without actually having our face. We have shooting without nothing. When you need just delivering information in the course. And it's not a personalized course. But one of the best things you can do is to actually create one of those titles in which you just download elements from the web. You can do them in less than 10 min. We created this title, this thumbnail, and it's absolutely amazing. And you can see that we have it in this background right here, but check this background. We have different colors in this background, so it is not pumping as it is in this background right here. So this, in my opinion is a better thumbnail. Okay, Then this one, but we can also tweak again to make this Nominal. Good. So let's say for this thumbnail, let me save this. I'll go Command, Save Current frame. And let's say we're going to title this Final Cut Pro X, Gore's thumbnail. One, let's say. Okay, so I save it. Let's create another time it alright, here, for the sake of the scores in this thumbnail, I am going to place the Final Cut Pro logo in the middle of the frame. Okay, And what I'm gonna do is I'm going to grab again a basic title. But it up here and right in the title e.g. and we press down so the fungal per logo stays in the middle of our frame. So right here and now the title I'm going to write, let's say ultimate. Add the font that we want, which is impact, increase the size. Okay, perhaps in Greece also the tracking. So right here, then we have the fungal growth logo right here. Cool. So guest checkout, what we're gonna do now, ultimate, okay, let's add some drop shadow, exact same thing that we did in the previous thumbnail. So drop-shadow, drop-shadow, drop-shadow. Let me see the opposite color of pink. So we got magenta or pink. Green is the opposite color as you can see. So let's actually change the face to green. So this is like, wait, let's see. This is a good green. Okay, to add. And we're gonna do here is I'm going to press C to create a compound clip and we're going to mask it. So draw mask, drag and drop it right here. And what are we going to do? Let's decrease the opacity of the battle and mask around the Final Cut Pro logo. So what's this? The letters of our title will rest behind the Final Cut Pro logo. So let's press invert mask. And as you can see now if we increase the opacity, it is like our letters rest again behind the Final Cut Pro logo. So this is very, very, very cool. Okay, the same thing we can do with the course. So let's say, let's write another data was we'll say course, go to impact. We put this right here and we also increase the tracking here. Okay, and again, let's see, we've got green. So what is, what is the opposite color of green? Obviously, it's going to be purple. Okay, so let's change the color of this course to purple. Here, we select purple. This is the thought process behind the thumbnail. And obviously you can make it way, way more symbol of what we're doing now. But I just want to show you all of the different options that you have when creating of a meal, especially in Final Cut Pro. Again, right here, of course. We're going to compound the course clip mask. Let's decrease the opacity of course, and play of course. And let's just mask around the Final Cut Pro logo right here. So then Invert Mask, increase the opacity and look at this. We've got our new thumbnail. So how does this look? It is cool. It's cool. It's cool. If, if I wanted to spend more time in this, I will just rest the course a bit below because you can really see and read what it's saying in the last word. But again, I think that our other thumbnail, so this one that we created, let me just import it again. I feel like this nominal is the best. Honestly, I feel like this is an amazing thumbnail. And if I was grading Final Cut Pro, editing course thumbnail, this thumbnail that I would choose. So pretty much we did one thumbnail thumbnails number one, number two, and we're done with the thumbnails that have been sourced from the internet. So this concludes our first video on how to create thumbnails. Again, we discussed about sourcing thumbnails directly from the Internet and not switching our camera onto either face in the thumbnails. Now, in the next lesson we're going to be discussing how to actually create thumbnails with photographs and videos of ourselves. So more on that, on the next lesson. 24. Shooting and Editing your Thumbnails: Now, ladies gentlemen, let's actually move to the fun part which is filming ourselves and then grabbing those videos, subtracting the thumbnails, the images of those videos, and then adding those videos elements from the web to create the ultimate thumbnails for our courses, there's gonna be a very interesting lesson right here, and this is the way that I shoot most of my thumbnails, and this is the way that I create most of my thumbnails. So if you're interested in again, thumbnail creation and learning how to create thumbnails for your courses. This is the lesson which you need to pay the most attention. So before we start by launching on reading software, I'm going to show you again how to do this 0-100. I'm going to explain to you how you can actually sued thumbnails. And this is gonna sound weird, is going to look weird, but this is the only way to do this. So we get two approaches of shooting a thumbnail. The first one is if you want to grab an image of the best resolution in the best quality, is to actually have an interval ometer, which is a remote controller to control your camera. Bose, both in any poses that you want for your thumbnails. One bowls could be e.g. this right here. And we can just show something in the screen and then we're going to edit it out. Another pose would be for you, e.g. being excited. So this could be another pose, something like this. Okay, so you block both and then you press shoot with your hand and your camera grabs a snapshot, okay? And you've got this high resolution image of you for it you can use in the thumbnail. Now this is not the best way to do this. And I'm going to show you why. Why don't you don't need a high resolution image for your thumbnail. It is very simple because by the time that we export this image, the thumbnail that we are going to be created is going to be compressed in a way in which people are not going to appreciate the extra pixels in your image. So pretty much nobody suits thumbnails in this way. Everybody shoots themselves in a thumbnail. But k by pressing recording the camera as I have done right now, and then trying many different poses in a video format so you don't have to click always to grab pictures because just bowls. Then import this video to our editing software and grab the screen salts are from this video. Did you understand what I'm saying? So let's say that right now we're gumming a video and if we want to create a thumbnail from this video, I would sit right here. I will do this. Okay, and then import this video to my final editing software, grabbed the snapshot that I want and then combine it with some video elements. So right now, after you can pause this lesson, you can grow head and actually shoot this video. And when you're done with looking at those lessons in the sixth day of the seven-day course, greater challenge you can pose, okay, grab your camera. Create a video in which you pose in many different poses for your thumbnails. And this thumbnail is again, the good part is you can use over and over and over and over again. So after you're done with the video, after you have subtracted again the screenshots from your video, which could actually work at stimulus. It is time to take those images, import them into editing software, and use them as thumbnails. So this is what we're doing in this lesson right here. So let's launch running software, and let's dive into combining thumbnails with our elements and elements from the web. Okay, So this is the interface that we had right? Previous interface from the first lesson which we discussed about thumbnails missed the first time. They'll visit the second number that we created. And now let's move into importing all of the images that we've taken, the screenshots from the video that we sought to create the thumbnails. So let me just drag and drop them from my hard drive. These are the ones right here. So again, I saw the video and from this video, I grabbed this screenshot, The screenshot, The screenshot, this one, this one, and this one. So depending on the type formula we want to create, okay? And depending on the type of course and the vibe when conveyed to our audiences, we're going to create different thumbnails. So this could be one, this could be also one. This is one, this one, this one, and this one. So these two are for more serious again, course topics. We don't need them right now. We can delete them. Okay, this could work. This could definitely work for our final Cut Pro course. This could also work. This could work and this could work. So I'm thinking of the leading, this one and this one. And we've got again this one and this one. So let's delete this one and now we have this thumbnail. So what are we gonna do with this thumbnail? There are many, many, many different approaches. The first approach is to again, grab the Final Cut Pro logo, paste it here, and paste it above our thumbnail. And just put it in this place right here. But this doesn't look so cool. And why doesn't this looks cool? So cool, because when we're using elements that we have captured with our camera, we need to color grade them first thing we need to change their position and scale. So it's time to move into color grading eclipse, how we gonna do this? We're opening our color grading panel and we've got all of those options, color saturation, exposure. So let's tweak the exposure. And as a rule of thumb, we increase the shadows. We increase the mid tones when it actually decreases shadows a bit right there. Okay, the mid-tones. I think this is better. The highlights could stay up. So again, we need to light our thumbnails. Okay, and now let's move into actually dropping it. We can also increase the saturation. This is also very important. Situation goes up. Great. Now let's move into actually changing the scale of our thumbnail in general, in thumbnails going to punch in. People like to see faces and the thumbnails. So let's go here and we can move ourselves in the right part of the image of our thumbnail. Why do we move ourselves in the right part of the thumbnail? Because usually we add text on the left side. You can see that I'm painting in the left side of the image. But here we do this because the human eye naturally goes to the left side of an image. Again, just as we read a book, e.g. this is why we add ourselves in the right side of the image and text in the left side. So now we can move this Final Cut Pro logo in the left side of our image right here. So you can see this looks great. We can make it bigger, we can make it smaller. Just like that. E.g. right here, we can make ourselves actually even bigger. So we can move again our image more to the left. So right there. Final Cut Pro logo here. Again, let's say that we can also add a title, basic title, and let's e.g. right. In our title, let's say editing masterclass. Okay, editing masterclass. I'm thinking of actually having the word masterclass below editing right here, let's say impact, okay, we increase the size. I think do here, this would be good. K. Or perhaps what I'm thinking is having the word editing above the Final Cut Pro logo and the leeward masterclass below. Oh, no, well, I actually think this actually works great. So let's increase the size again if the word masterclass, okay, The Final Cut Pro logo can go a bit below. So let's say they're okay. So now let's move into actually adding some drop shadow to the muscle class. So here, opacity here, blur to blur it. Distance right here. So this looks good. This e.g. could it be a great thumbnail? Okay, we have ourselves, we combine it with our own an element which is the Final Cut Pro PNG. Again, let me go ahead and actually save this thumbnail so we can compare it with the other times that we have created. Okay, so let's name it. Okay, Final Cut Pro than logo too. Okay, Great. So this is one way to actually combine your video stuff with elements from the web. Now let's take it a bit. Let's take it a step forward. Okay, so we based again the standard which is called weighted by the way. Okay, and let's decrease its scale so we can actually perform the mask, but I wanted to perform. So let's actually mask ourselves out. Now, we go here in our Effects panel and we searched for mask. We drag and drop the mask effect in our thumbnail. And what we're gonna do now is I'm actually going to detach ourselves from this image so we can change the background from, into any background that we want to. So with this band, we're going to select ourselves, as you can see, and you can spend many, many hours to master how to mask things. For the sake of this tutorial, I'm gonna be very fast. So there's a very basic mask I'm doing now if you want to zoom in from the mask batteries, you can go here 75 per cent. You can move this right here to mask perfectly, okay, as you can see around my hat. Okay, please don't spend countless hours in masking, but for your final thumbnail, makes sure to have a perfect mask actually. Sorry, here we're masking again around our head. And this is, I know this is time-consuming, but this is the only way to actually perfectly mask the subject of your thumbnail. It takes some time, but at the end of the day, it's okay. We spend like 4 h filming this course. So we might as well spend thirty-seconds masking ourselves. So, okay, here, here again, it doesn't need to be perfect. Okay, right here. Press fit. Let's conclude our mask. And as you can see here, we pretty much have a mask ourselves out. The next thing we're gonna do is that we are going to feather again with a feather you can see we can actually tweak the masker bit. Okay, So let's have it e.g. right here. And as you can see, because my background is white and even if we feather it out, you can still see some white spots. I would like to have. I would like to source some kind of a more brighter background from the web. So let's see now, let's search for right, colors. Colored background. Let's say bright color background. You can see we've got all of those colors. This is good, but it's very low resolution as you can see, so we can actually download it. So we've got this, which again, I think we downloaded it before. There's actually cool, Let's grab this. We could actually do this. We could actually use one of the backgrounds that we have already downloaded, e.g. this background right here, Let's actually paste it here. And this background we can also use, it's actually based also this one here. Let's grab them. And now as you can see, because we have masked it behind this clip, it's pretty much nothing. So anything that we drag. Behind this clip, it will actually stay behind me. So this is a very easy way to again, change the background. And in this way you don't also have, need to have a perfect studio background. You can pretty much use any background that you want. Okay, so we got this and let me copy this actually based here. And we also got this thumbnail, one thumbnail do which looks better to you. I think this one actually looks better because it's the same color of the background with the color in my eyes. So let's actually keep this one, okay? And now the background is set. We're set, we're going to actually place ourselves right here. We can also increase the size of us more, even more so here, e.g. let's decrease it a bit. So how about here? Cool. Now let's also add the Final Cut Pro logo. We can add it here. So this actually looks amazing. It's absolutely amazing. And you want to see something very cool. We can actually increase the size of the Final Cut Pro logo a lot. And if you want, finally click on Final Cut Pro logo to be behind us. As you can see, we have three layers of subjects. We got Final Cut Pro logo, we got ourselves and we've got the background. So if you grab the Final Cut Pro logo and we place it behind ourselves, then you can see that right here, automatically The Final Cut Pro logo rest behind ourselves. So this is actually very, very, very, very cool. Let's actually decrease the size of the particle pro logo. And this is an amazing Final Cut Pro editing masterclass logo. I'm very proud of the stomach right here, if I would choose a thumbnail, and between this and this, I would 100% to this terminal right here because again, it shows her face. It is the most busy, more personalized thumbnail. So this works perfectly. Another tip that I have to give you is this. Let's grab those three clips, press C and you compound clip. And we've got this new compound clip. So the three layers, again, we made it into one layer. So what are we gonna do now? We're gonna go to color grading and we're going to call a grade the whole thumbnail together. So we're going to change and tweak the colors of this thumbnail. And what are we going to do? We're going to increase the saturation and I'm going to go here and go to Sharpen, Sharpen bracelet right here. And this is pretty much going to increase the sharpening of our image. You can see, you can just overdo it if you want to, but a bit more sharpened image is always great. So let's just add the amount to 0.1. So again, we sharpened our image a bit. This makes it feel better to the eyes of our viewers. Another thing that we can do is to add contrast, but I don't think that it's going to look great. So let's add contrast. It doesn't look great. It doesn't look great. So let's just decrease this. And this is some of them are graded. Okay, So how easy was it to combine again, the elements from our cameras. We sought this image right now with the elements that we have from the web. So we've got the background, we've got the image regardless thumbnail. And now it is time to move to create thumbnails 100% from images that we have sorted. So this will ridiculing in the next lesson. 25. Creating 100% Original thumbnails: Now I might be a firm believer that actually combining again, elements in which we have shocked with our camera, with elements from the web can create, can help us create the ultimate thumbnail, which in my opinion, we created yielding my thumbnail in the previous lesson in many occasions, again, due to copyright issues, you will be called to complete thumbnails for your courses completely from gamma elements that you have salt. So your videos are 100% original. This is what we're tackling in this lesson right here in this class, I'm going to show you how to take an image screenshot, if you will, because we discussed about again, sharing a video and capturing screenshots from this video to have a wider variety of thumbnails in this video right here, I'm going to teach you pretty much can explain to you how to take a screenshot. From this, we'll tweak it, color graded, change the exposure, add some basic titles and gradient 100% original thumbnail. Because the thing is that many times when we're grabbing screenshots from the web, we don't know the origin of those images. And I have heard facts and things that cause traders have actually had problems with using copyrighted backgrounds in their thumbnails. So this is why again, in this video right here in this lesson, I want to be secure and I want to teach you how to create 100% original thumbnails from again, screenshots of your videos. So let's launch our editing software and let's dive into this lesson. So this right here as you can see, is the formula we have created thumbnail one, okay, thumbnail to thumbnail three. So what are we going to do is that we're going to grab again our thumbnails, that there are screens or the thumbnails and let's drag and drop one right here. We're going to close this window. So this is again the screenshot that we dragged and dropped. So what we wanna do here, we're going to change the scale and the color of this clip. So we go here. Also, we can go to Window Workspaces, color and effects to open this color panel right here, which I usually like to open. This is our color grading panel. So here you can see the exposure and some colors, and here you can see the saturation, the luma and the vector scope in the luma. What we're gonna do is we're going to open our color grading panel and we say, wait to call a videoclip to perfect AND gate with calculated computer perfection. If we go to exposure, again, we can tweak the master, the master bar, the shadows, the mid tones bar and v highlights bar. So those are four different bars that we can tweak. What are we gonna do based on the luma window? We're going to tweak the following. We want first of all, our shadows, which as you can see, when we move our shadows, the lesser part of those lines right here, okay, move, we want them to touch zero. So let's move this down until those lines, dots zero, somewhere there. Anything below zero will be completely black. As you can see, we're starting to lose detail here. So we want this to just be touching zero right there. Then our highlights, we want them. This obviously as you can see right here, is where we're starting to lose information. I need you to the light that is completely white. But if we don't take into consideration this part right here, which again, extremely wide deep to the light, the highlights we need to increase them until again, they start touching 100s. You can see that they're touching 100 here. So let's decrease them to there. So then we need our mid tones, which is this part right here. Again, the shadows is a lesser part. The highlights is the upper part, the midterm is the middle part. We want our mid-tones to be about 50 at about 50. So let's grab our mid-tones bar and let's raise it, as you can see, about to about 50. This is the ultimate way to color grade and actually tweak the exposure of your clips with again, computer values. So this is the ultimate exposure settings for this clip right here. Now let's move into saturation. And as you can see, when I tweak the saturation bar, this is going to change the vector scope, okay? We don't want those clips if this e.g. is oversaturated, as you can see, how we can tell this, because the lines of the colors go way, way, way far off in this circle. So let's bring saturation back. We would like my clip to be saturated at about there. So we saturate again the highlights, the shadows, the mid tones, everything. And this is a correct saturation for this clip. Now we're going to go ahead and actually close this window to default. And we have this, this right here, this result. So now it is time to actually apply some changes. And what changes can be applied to this clip? Well, a lot of them. First of all, we can punch in. We can actually make, we can zoom in a bit. So this is the first one. Let's actually zoom in more. But before we zoom in, we're going to do something else that I always do in my thumbnails. Right here, copy this and paste it. So we have two of those thumbnails. We grabbing this one. Okay. And let's see if it's the same one. Actually, I'll get the same one, but I don't want this. Okay, so let's see. This is in my opinion, I think this is the perfect size from this picture, so let me drop it in. Let's actually conclude in this size right here. So I pressed down, okay, let's copy this now. We paste it right here. And the first clip, we're actually going to mask. But what are we going to mask? We're going to mask ourselves. Okay, So let's meet, but let's say 25%. So we're masking ourselves again, but we're not going to remove ourselves. You're going to see what we're gonna do. Well, we are going to remove ourselves, but we're not going to replace the background. We're going to keep the exact same bucket and then keep in mind that when you're masking in this style we're demonstrating in this video, you don't need to have the perfect mask. So let's mask ourselves out and create artificial blur. So you can see that we're masked away now. Now let's grab this clip which the exactly identical without the mask. We drag it below this clip. And as you can see, this is completely the same clip as before. If we disable this calibrated against it, we have a mask in this clip right here. But again, if you enable it, you can see nothing. But what if we go here and we press focus, and we actually add a focus effect in this clip right here. Then we can decrease the softness, and now we can tweak the background. We can make the background actually more blurry, completely artificially. So this is very interesting, as you can tell, we can see how blurry the background. So let's actually blurred the background a bit. It will look like we're more professional. We're using a more professional camera. Let's make those two clips, a compound clip, so we select them press scene or keyboard. Okay, and now we can punch in to both of those clips, like nothing has happened. So this is very, very cool. Now we bring this right here, e.g. okay, And another thing we can do, this, Let's say that I want my, my face and my body to be in the left side of the screen. And here I'm going to write Final Cut Pro tutorial e.g. how are we gonna do this? Well, here you can see it's blank and I don't want it to be black. Another trick that we can do is that we can copy this, paste it right here, and then bring this clip on top of this one. Then go to Crop and crop the first clip to here, e.g. okay, crop it to here and here. And if I, if I disabled the second clip, you can see that all we have from the first loop is this one right here. So we enable this. We grab this clip and we go to distort. And now we can distort this clip. And as you can see, we can just add this blurry background even more. So this is just a way to do it from them. Yeah, So this just a way to again, add to the background. So if we don't want this, we can just go Command Z and it brings us four or five steps below. So Command Z, again, when we press commands, I didn't like keyboard, it's the undo button, so let's press undo, undo, undo, and we have, again undo this the first bit, but we started. So now, let's now have blurred the background. Let's go to here titles at a basic title, we drag and drop the title right here. We can close this panel. And now in a very common fashion, Let's write e.g. Final Cut Pro. Then choose the font. Impact this the best font. Again, increase the size. So right here, Final Cut Pro. Then, okay, and then let's write Dorian. So finally that proton, I copy and paste the title. So now I'm going to write tutorial. Okay, Let's bring tutorial right here. So we're going to make tutorial smaller actually so we can fit right here. Let's actually decrease the size of Uncle Ben. What fungal productive door to being the same size or we can delete so we can place them on top of each other. So right now we have Final Cut Pro than tutorial. What else can we do to actually make this thumbnail even more interesting? One thing that we can do is to add a shape behind Final Cut Pro ten behind it all because you can really see tutorial right now. Okay, we need to add contrast. So what we're gonna do is I'm going to go here. Generators can type shapes, shapes, weight shapes. So right here you can see you can drag and drop the shape. And we change the CEP, do a rectangle. So let me get this rectangle right here. And after we do the black, you can see that we can tweak it to the size of the Final Cut Pro font. So right here, e.g. you can change it to here. And now we bring it below the two titles and look at this. Now we got this Final Cut Pro part that's highlighted again because we added this rectangle, we can change obviously the shape of it and the size of it. So right here, this is what I would do Final Cut Pro, Let's just change the X axis. Again. We can actually distort it even more to here. This looks good. Here are increased the size a bit. So here again we copy this shape, paste it right here, below this. So we got to duplicate it shapes. We grabbed this one, the transform, we bring it to tutorial. So this we can also increase its size. And this we have now Final Cut Pro e.g. tutorial and they're kinda highlighted again. This is all original stuff that we created with Final Cut Pro. Okay, So finally approved tutorial. You can tweak many parameters as you know. So let's just actually change when it got to a more straight, let's say concepts. So right there. You can play a lot with it. You can play with different colors and stuff. Let me just make this bigger, so it just balances out. So this one, let's change it also tutorial to make it a bit, a bit smaller, so they're cool. Okay, So this one is a very simple and basic way to create a thumbnail using one of your images without actually using elements from the web and without risking any copyright issue or any stuff like that. So now we're done with again, the three different types of thumbnails that we can create for our courses. We're done with thumbnails completely sourced from the web. We discussed about how the ship thumbnails with your camera and had a screenshot from those videos to add fraught with the resources from the web to create mixed dominance, let's say, and those are the thumbnails that we're usually going to be using for our courses than innocent right here we discussed about how to 100 per cent create thumbnails again, 100% from your camera, and this is original content from your video editing software. Again, the most used one is the second option in which we combine elements from our cameras with elements from the web. This is going to have the biggest enrollment rate from our courses. So now that we're done with the thumbnails, I am very happy because we can move to the final day of the seven-day course graded challenge in which we're going to be actually uploading our courses. I'm not gonna be discussing about the Udemy algorithm, the skills or algorithm and what you need to know when uploading there. So I'm gonna see you in the seventh day of the seven-day course. Greater challenge. 26. Skillshare Uploading Tactics: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final day of the seven-day course, greater challenge day seven. I am very happy that you made it up-to-date seven, and I hope that you have actually follow the curriculum up until this day. Now this day is gonna be very more chill than the rest of the days. Okay, we're going to be analyzing the Skillshare algorithm and the Skillshare upload page. And then we're going to be analyzing the Udemy upload page. I'm going to share some tips and tricks that I have found in some problems that I have faced after uploading all of those courses, again on Skillshare Udemy. So I'm very, very excited. Up until this point, you probably are done with all of your lessons. We have planned degree loom square root outdoors is short. Our courses edited our courses. And again, we have done an introductory video who scribbled it, outlined it word by word. Again, edit an introductory video together, and we are now ready with the thumbnail of our course to start off course, uploading it on Skillshare Udemy. So welcome to the seventh day and let's start by analyzing the skills are uploading tactics. So this again is going to be our Skillshare interface and inorder to upload a course right now I'm logged in by the way, from MySQL to account and in order, but of course is gonna go here in Teach and in a CVI, create a glass panel. Now undegraded class boundary. We got all those white teach in Skillshare. This is the new window that applies, okay? And you can actually apply again to new. These are programs, they have a very good community. And again, if you are a trusted member on the Skillshare teacher community, you're going to enter the beach corpse program, which is a slack. Slack is an obligation which you can chat with other like-minded individuals and other people that work in your business pretty much. And in the Slack community, you get some bonuses and also you get to network with other teachers, which is very, very important. So pretty much in this palette right here. It explains to us how teaching works on Skillshare or you can create a first-class, grow your following, start earning. And then again with the earned more new panels, new pages load in which we pretty much get more information on how the promoter stuff and all that stuff. This is not what we're up to. We're up to this button right here to recreate the class boundaries can also see right here. So after we press Create a glass, okay, we shouldn't be navigated into this panel right here, which is the barrel, which we're going to be again processing our glass. Now, what do we do here? We drag and drop videos. We drag them from our desktop and drop them right here. This is how we upload videos. And after we started blowing, you can also press, by the way, this button right here. And then it opens up your desktop document itself from your MacBook. And we drag and drop our videos to here you can see those are the guidelines we need to include at least 10 min video content. Couldn't start low introductory video that explains the class is about, again, meet the standards of Orient video quality. And after, again, following the seven-day course coding challenge, you are 100% going to be following those standards and self-limit promotion to first and last video lessons. So these are the four pretty much rules that Skillshare wants you to follow and obey to when uploading lessons on Skillshare. We're gonna discuss about Udemy. And Udemy has a more strict rules. But again, it is very, very simple. You just upload your lessons right here, and then you add a thumbnail to each one of those lessons. But the most important formula you should add is the thumbnail in the introductory lesson that you would add. Okay, so makes sure the introductory lesson is going to be the first lesson that we're going to add right here. Above every other lesson, you need to have your introductory lesson. And the thumbnail in your introductory lesson is going to be, remember, the thumbnail that is going to apply on your course. The course nominal is going to be the thumbnail, but we're going to have in our introductory lesson. Now enough with this interface, let's move to the class details. And this is the button which I wanted to focus in this lesson right here. Because in the class details, especially in Skillshare, which is a very served based platform. Okay, we need to have search engine optimized content and this is going to make or break our Skillshare enrollments. As you can see, they also encourage you to review all of the elements of your glass to ensure it is optimized for discoverability and search engine optimized, they can't stress that enough and I can't stress it enough. And you need to remember that your content needs to be search engine optimized. That being said, we did this with judges within artificial intelligence. So we know that our titles and descriptions are search engine optimized, and also we know that they don't have spelling or any other errors. Now let's read right here. I'll Class Details helps you discover your class on the platform and better understanding what to learn, what they'll need, what to expect. So of course, we select our language okay? Based on dialogue, we have again brainstormed and copied to the Word document in the third day of its seven-day course, greater challenge. And then we come up with a description. Again. Usually this description we have brainstormed, we have created together the description with Judge EBT. Again, you put pop up this Word document that we created based on the description right here. Again, makes sure that the description is minimum 100 characters, as it says right here. And you can actually review the class description tips they hold. They always have again, dibs on class tidal, class description, project description class merchandising and search engine optimization and all of that stuff. So please make sure to go through all of those again, tabs, e.g. Here you pretty much tell you what they need and if you follow, again, each one of those, you will create the best last for Skillshare to give you an example, give you a classic dial, Okay, So pretty much it in this article right here, they go into how to get specific, how to test some titles and what resources you can have. You can get to have the best title. So again, gets, gets specific. They literally tell you what they need in order for your course to be successful on Skillshare. So again, this specificity is key for making sure your class discovered by the right students, e.g. instead of hand lettering in general and vague dialogue doesn't get into specifics. A better title would be hand lettering, basics with a brush pen. Okay, So all of that stuff, then they give you some examples. Obviously, these are some very good examples in course creation titles. And then again, we give you some title strategies. So again, the first strategy is a broad to focus title. So you say e.g. creative Golding, animating SVG with simple CSS code. So again, from broad to more focused, this could be Final Cut Pro editing. Let's dive into color grading specific. So again, you start from a broad spectrum to more focus spectrum. Then we have the second title which is project-based, how design sports logos, create your own, the mosque or graphic design for good design, a personal manifesto, e.g. the seven-day course, greater challenge could be a project-based course. It is a challenge. The challenge is to create a course in seven days. Then we have a skill level title, e.g. introduction of designing a repeat patterns in Illustrator or advanced video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro 2020. So again, many, many, many different titles and we also have some resources, e.g. title capitalization, dual, glass merchandising and SEO again, which can then be an article for Skillshare teachers. Also very important beats at skillshare dot coms and amazing email in which they reply to you and they can give you information to help you with your courses. I want you to remember that people on Skillshare really want you to upload courses there and really want to help you because this is how skills or stays viable and stays relevant. Features make skills are viable and makes skills are relevant. Okay, So they need teachers, so they're glad to help you upload your first course. Again, moving onto description, we have some class description Thebes, which we can just take a look if you want. Okay, we're going to talk about best practices for glut descriptions, best description example, and some resources. Because they also have a YouTube video in which they pretty much explain to you how to teach on Skillshare. But again, as you can see for a great class description, you can have a class overview. What you will learn, why you should take this class. Who is this class for? And materials and resources. So as you can recall, we have a complete description done in our Word document. But right now you can see actually the best practices that they asked for. They need a class overview of what you will learn such an AY you should take this class, section eight, who this class is for section and the materials and resources section. So the simplest thing that you can do is to input those things into dP dy. So provide e.g. in a class overview on a course that teaches people how to create courses or provide an outline on what people will learn from this course. This could be Brahms that we can add into tragedy to make the best optimized description for Skillshare or provide five reasons why someone should take a course on how to create courses on Skillshare Udemy. So this is very simple. This could, coupled with charts would be D. This could give you insane amounts of value. Okay? So you can also add images with after you've based in Britain material description. And again, we have some description example right here where you can check out by pressing those links. Again, they have a complete SCO and class merchandising page, which can be very, very helpful. Now after that, keep in mind that Skillshare asks you for a project. Usually when you're creating a course and skills, are they going to ask you for a project? So what is going to be the project? Because Skillshare is very consumer base than student base, they need to keep those students lagging the courses and engaging with the courses that they're enrolled into. What kills her does is that it asks for us teachers to create projects and project videos are also very helpful for the Skillshare Algorithm and in general to keeping a great, Let's say, friendly thing with the people at Skillshare. So what are skills or projects? When you're creating a course, you need to assign a project. Usually it is not mandatory, but it is good if you do so, you need to assign a project to your students. E.g. I. Might have a course on how to edit videos on Final Cut Pro. After my introductory video, I usually introduce my students into my class project. So e.g. I. Have an introductory video which I edited again in the principles that we haven't discussed. And then the next video is the class project description. And that would be like in this video. It's gonna be a one to three minute video. You're gonna be like, Hey guys, welcome to the scores. And it's mostly in the small lesson right here. Or you can be like, Hey guys, thank you very much for enrolling in this course in this small lesson right here, I'm going to explain to you what the class project is going to be on. The class project for this course is going to be e.g. the creation of a five-minute and using Final Cut Pro if you're teaching, finally got broke in your course. So again, you don't exactly need to have a class project in your course. But if you don't have a class project video mixer to have a glass description, a class project description. So again, it is minimum 100 characters. We have some project description dips. Those project description Tips, e.g. good with choosing a project idea to assign to your students, writing your project description, adding some project resources. And again, some glass box examples. And you can go further so they have decent video that can help you with that. So again, how to choose project ideas. It is very simple and very self-explanatory honestly. Then how to write your project description. So you summarize the project and your first sentence. Then clarify the steps that they need to focus and follow. Then maximize the readability of a project. And then finally define the final deliverable, what they need to deliver in their projects. And this also obviously can very easily be done with GBD. I always used as within my courses because they give me the most search engine optimized results. So this is very straightforward and you can also add some project resources, e.g. in my Final Cut Pro at any course, I have also added some plugins, some links for people to download plugins, and again, some class products examples which you can consider. So after we're done with our class time or class description and our class project. In the project description obviously, we hear is where we add files, so we base pretty much all descriptions. We can have all those keys to bold, again, our letters to make them italic, underline them and all that stuff at a bullet list. All these are important because it just make your course more visually appealing, right? So make sure to actually do all that stuff. It's very important. We spend a whole week grading this course. It is okay to spend 5 min to make your description more beautiful. Here you can attach files, actually an add media to help them with your class projects and resources that could help them move your class project. Now it's time to choose Categories. And let's say e.g. that in my case and the seven-day course, greater challenges are gonna upload on Skillshare. Let's go with, let's say creative. It is a great integrity and it is a film and video. The subcategory of k, So many, many categories, many, many sub categories and subcategories depend on the categories that we choose. E.g. mine is again, Film and Video. Okay, the level is going to be beginner. So because I'm taking a complete beginner to, a person, can teach a course in seven days. And then we need to add some glass skills which are going to be search engine optimized. Because again, class killed dogs helps people find your class. So treat the class skills as tags for your course, e.g. some glasses skills could be course creation. I get calls creation, and then online course creation. Okay? And then it suggests you again more, more keywords that you can have, e.g. online teaching, creating a course. Let's say, what else, what else? What else? What else? Online sports marketing, all of that stuff teaching online. So these could be keywords and the more keywords you out obviously the more keywords have to suggest to you. So very, very important again, you can have all of the resource that you want to watch, a video resource that I'm giving you right now. But all of the different resources you can find them. This banner right here we've got glass titled Tubes, blood description, the class project, Thebes, class merchandising and search engine optimization tips. So we can check this out. E.g. how to, how to select the category skill and a skill level for your course. So again, this is how you today figuring this out, the peccary language, all of that stuff. Okay, But let's focus now on the class merchandising and search engine optimization. Because I know and I'm sure that this is the best way to increase enrollments in your course. So how such an organization and merchandizing e.g. work together. Okay? Again, he always a process of improving web-based content so that ranks higher in search engines. We discussed about this and we solve this, how we can combine tragedy with our knowledge to create search engine optimized titles and descriptions. Again, how to optimize the class and lesson titles. We know all that stuff. We did it with sides a, b, d. So make sure just to keep an eye and actually give them a look and follow this. Those are very important and resources that skills are actually gives to our teachers because they want actually more of their content to be consumed. So now, when we're done with Skillshare and one will have uploaded everything in our video lessons. So because I grew up and press, submit and actually launch the scores and have it online and start generating income from this passive income stream. Now that we're done with Skill Server, it's time to move to the second lesson of the state, which we're going to be analyzing the uploading tactics and the uploading techniques when uploading and course on Udemy and trust me, it is completely different. Uploading a course on Skillshare and uploading a course on Udemy is completely different because they have a completely different consumption strategy. So this is what we're analyzing in the next lesson, how to upload a successful course on Udemy. 27. Udemy Uploading Tactics: Welcome to the second and final lesson of the seventh day of the seven-day course creator challenge in which we are gonna be analyzing the Udemy algorithm and in general, the process of uploading our courses in Udemy. Again, the courses that we have designed, prepared outlines scripted in salt in the seven-day course grading challenge are meant to be uploaded in online course marketplaces. The two most important online course marketplace and the two most popular online course marketplaces are SkillShare, Udemy, and this is why we're covering the uploading mechanism of those two marketplaces. Now that being said, SkillShare, Udemy have a completely different business model in a completely different way of operating. Now, in this lesson we're gonna be discussing about Udemy. And if you compare to the Skillshare, okay, you will see that skill, certain skills or instructors are getting paid based on the amount of time that they accumulate. This means that you're not getting paid per enrollment. You're getting paid by the amount of time each enrollment spent in your course. This, why wouldn't we are creating courses on Skillshare? We need our courses to be actually edited amazingly, and we need to have a certain amount of flow when our courses. So we will stick around for the whole course on Udemy. It is a completely, completely different story on Udemy. The only factors that affect our revenue are the thumbnail, the introductory video, and the reviews of our profile and our course. Obviously, if we have a quality course and if our course is engaging, whelmed, filmed, well scripted and well edited, this will lead into good reviews and the reviews will bring more enrollments. And then again, this becomes, this becomes a vicious cycle. So in general, as a rule of thumb, in both skills here and Udemy, we need to have quality courses, okay, we can't trick anybody here. But on Udemy there are more marketing tricks that can be going apply and in generally have more creative freedom as creators to upload our courses in Udemy, you can play more with search engine optimization, we can play more with descriptions. We can actually attach more files into our curriculum to help with the digestion of our content to our students. So this is what we're analyzing in this lesson right here enough, it's introduction. Welcome to the final lesson of the seven-day course grade and challenge. And let's actually upload our courses. Do Udemy. Now when launching Udemy and when actually arriving to this page in which we are going to start uploading our course. Okay, this is step one out of four when it comes to building our courses. Again, in Udemy, as you can see, we can actually choose if we want to blow the course or a practice test. Obviously we're going with eight cores. So let's press Continue. And then we are going to brainstorm our titles here now those are the titles of some of my other courses that I have uploaded on Udemy. And again, you can just copy and paste the title from Skillshare or you can brainstorm and other titles. So let's see. I'm going to create the seven-day course creation or creator challenge. This is the seven-day course creator challenge. Okay, then choose a category, obviously, market degrees, probably photography and video, but we have many categories just like Skillshare. Okay. We press Continue. And then you are going to determine how many hours per week you can spend in creating actually your course, because this will pretty much so SkillShare. Udemy, if you're a dedicated professional or just a beginner or an amateur, so it knows to which people it's going to recommend your content. So here are their law firm. Always, always press. I have lots of flexibility because actually again, Jeremy believes that you are more of a professional and we'll take your content more seriously, let's say. So this is ladies and gentlemen, the draft, let's say, of our course, seven-day course grade, It's only because the title right here and we have all of those boxes to check and all of those boxes to manipulate to have the best enrollment rates. So let's start with the first one. You can see you have three subcategories. Planning your course, creating your content and publishing your course. Not all of those boxes need to be ticked, but there are some which absolutely need to. So we're gonna start with intended learners. Okay, again, you can have some questions, e.g. what will students learn in your course? And you can just have again, at least for, as you can see, learning objectives or outcomes in your course. So you can go ahead and write your learning objectives, those objectives or outcomes. How are we going to make those learning objectives search engine optimized? Well, first of all, you can just copy them from Skillshare again, because we have mentioned our learning objectives on Skillshare so we can go ahead and actually copy them from Skillshare and base them on Udemy. But if we want to get more specific and more search engine optimized, we can do this with charge if dB and artificial intelligence. So you can actually tell, excited to be here, I'm creating a course title, the seven-day course credo challenge. You will already have, like brainstorm the description of our course using such a beauty. So you can actually, in the same chapter in which we actually brainstorm the description and the title of our course. You can actually ask, dotted with d, e.g. what will, what Our four learning objectives or outcomes that students can learn from my course. So we base those outcomes and again, we can search for search engine optimized outcomes. So asked to do the before, search engine optimized outcomes, again, makes sure your content is search engine optimized. It plays a huge role on Udemy. Now moving on, we have what are the requirements or prerequisites for taking this course? You ride no programming experience needed or you need a computer, you need Wi-Fi connection, you need to know how to use Final Cut Pro. You write them here and you can add more. Okay, Then who is the scores for? So e.g. this course is for people that want to learn how to create courses and generate passive income in seven days. So again, all of these, the information that you input right here, Udemy will take and it will frame them in a way in which they want pretty much to help you sell your horse. Because again, you don't means taking 50% of our courses. And this is why they pretty much want you to sell your course and you're going to help you sell your course if you input the correct information here. When we want to course, structure again, gives you some tips on how to structure your course. This is not just an optional, as you can see, subcategory, it's already checked that when we just saw it. So then again, some tips into setting up and testing our video and audio. So again, mega studio light the scene in your face, reduced noise and echo. Be creative. So again, those are some tips, some shooting tips on how to shoot courses and shoot videos. But you have enrolled in this course, so you know how this should courses and you know how to do those videos. Again, some requirements, they need your readers to be ten ADP or 720 be so HD obviously, and the older should come from both the left and right channels. Okay, cool. So now it's time after the course planning again, this usually should be done before our course, but we have blender course in a very, very better way than the generic way of getting me. Now it's time to create our content after the film and editing part again, those are some tips to film and edit again, take breaks and review frequently build rapport. Being a camera takes practice, set yourself up for success. So all of that stuff. Now that we have discussed in this course, we don't need to learn them right now. We have a read, of course. Now it's time to move to the curriculum. And this is where we're gonna be spending most of our time when structuring our course on Udemy. So as you can see, it is a completely different uploading curriculum, then Skillshare in the uploading curriculum off Udemy. As you can see, we have sections, section one, section two, section three, and we can create sections. We can also name the sections. So e.g. in my case in which I have the seven-day course creator of javelins and say that the sections are big categories and then our lessons on those sections are going to be subcategories. So e.g. section one. Okay. I will name it. They want we've covered a lead. They want section two is going to be they do. Okay. And then I'm going to have seven again Add section. Then I'm going to have seven different sections for my curriculum, which again, it is outlined in a daily theme. Again, in each section, again, you can just write the objective of this section. It is not recommended and it's not well, it is recommended, but it is not essential to do this. You got actually not right what people are going to learn by the end of the section. But if you want to, you can write cancel or safe section again, let's say you saved section. And then we're starting, we're starting to add content. And as you can see, we have lecture one, e.g. what's gonna be introduction to course Business, Online Course business. And then let's save lecture. You can see that we can start adding content. Content can be video, video on slide, mashup or an articles. And as you can see, this is again, another thing that Udemy has. That skill set doesn't have been scaled. So we can only upload video lectures, but still we can upload video on slide mashup articles or just videos. Again, we can also add the description of the first lecture. So we can actually have descriptions. And in addition to that, we can also add quizzes, coding exercises, assignments. So you can really, really, really add to your days. So this is again, very briefly how we're going to start. We're going to be structuring our curriculum again, we subdivided into sections. Each section has different lectures, e.g. in my case, each section is going to be a day. So in very simple terms, this is how we get restructuring our curriculum in Udemy. We are going to sub-divide our curriculum in sections. Again, each section is going to have subsections which are going to be our lectures, e.g. in my case it was, I have the seven-day course greater challenge. Each section is going to be one day and each subsection is going to be a lecture that I have on my day. Again, I can add quizzes, coding exercises, assignments, all of that stuff. Okay, and a useful tip is that if you don't want to be dragging and dropping every single one of your lessons, again into the curriculum of Udemy, you can just press bulk uploader. And bulk uploader will drag you in again, a Google file so you can select files from Dropbox, Google file box, mongoDB Link, or Facebook to upload them as a bands rather than just again drag a doping every single one of your files into the lectures. This is what I do. I actually drag and drop every single one of my lectures and videos into the curriculum format right here because I actually want to add more information and sometimes read descriptions and stuff and give out more useful stuff to my students. But again, you can use bucket Florida if you're gonna be creating one course or we can just board every week will be dragging and dropping your lessons. So this was the Udemy curriculum in the create your content subcategory. Now let's move to the captions. Captions are absolutely option allocated. You can pretty much just import your captions if you want. And if you have a course in another language can actually import English subtitles in English captions. So this course will actually sell also in English audience. But again, you need to have the captions pre-made and actually exported in your computer it again, to import them back into Udemy. That's pretty much concludes the create your content subcategory. Now let's move into the publisher course of integrity, which is pretty much very, very important because this is the marketing-wise tactics that we discussed in the beginning of this lesson in the course landing page. And we need to pay attention here, very, very heated engine. We need to add the, again, of course title and we have a suggestion of watercolor style should look like save. Your data should be a mix of attention grabbing, informative and search engine optimized title. So again, make sure that it will be attention-grabbing, informative, and search engine optimized. So this is again, we have done this stuff which adds it to be, so we're cool with that. Again, then we choose a subtitle. So again, it's closer. We didn't have subtitles, but here in Udemy we actually have subtitles. And again, remember, it also adds your use one or two related keywords and mentioned three to four of the most important areas that you've covered during your course. So why does it ask us to use one or two related keywords? Because you didn't meet once our subtitle to be search engine optimized because you didn't meet, wants us actually to sell our courses. Then, after choosing a title and a subtitle will move into choosing a description. And again, we can paste the exact same description from Skillshare, or we can choose actually a completely different description. After that, we can select the basic information of our academic goals, e.g. the language is going to be English from the US English skill level, it's usually beginner, again, are more nice area of expertise subcategories on that, what is primarily taught in your course. It is pretty much the keywords that we have also added in Skillshare. And here comes the cool part. This is ladies gentlemen, when we are going to be adding our thumbnail and our promotional video, what's gonna be our introductory video? So if you can recall in Skillshare, our introductory videos, the first video on the lesson curriculum slide, but here we actually have a completely separate page to add our introductory video. So again, this is a quick, Let's see, introduction on what you Remy wants us R&D activity to look like. So it says your promo video is a quick and compelling way for students to review what you've learned in your course. Students considering your course are more likely to enroll if your promo video is well-made. So again, a huge attention grading your promo video and drag and drop it right here. Then we drag and drop our course thumbnail right here. And again, we can check the instructor profile. I have only one instructor profile. And after that, it is time to move to the pricing part. And as you can see, there are not that many variables to change here. We can change the current tree of k from US dollar pretty much to any other currency that exists. And finally, we can select in which tier we want to subscribe our course do so we have tier one to tier 29 to 21 is of $199.99. The one is $19.99. So the cheap best that you can have your course is virtually free. Now, the cheapest option is actually 20 bucks. And the most expensive option to list your course on Udemy is 200 bucks, which means in the best-case scenario, you're going to be making 100 bucks for each enrollment of your course. If you have a tear, 29, let's say gore's. So again, you select your price and the price. So justify what is inside your course, e.g. if you have an editing tutorial, a thumbnail tutorial, and you know, a, let's say strategy, YouTube strategy tutorial, of course, you will list your course more expansively. Finally, we're going to move To course messages, and this is the final segment of this Udemy lesson. And again, you can add on Udemy welcome messages and congratulations messages to the people that enrolled in your course. Again, you can say, Hey, welcome to the seven-day course, greater challenge. I'm very pleased that you're enrolled. Thank you very much. And let's move into actually analyzing how you're going to do the course in seven days. And again, congratulations message or get a message that will show up in our students when they complete them on the walls, the whole of the curriculum, in addition to that, Udemy also has a mode in which they give out certificates in your courses. You can also apply to become a instructor, which actually gives certificates to their students after completing their courses. And this pretty much concludes everything that we need to know about Udemy. Again, the most important thing that we need to focus on is in the curriculum part in which we're gonna be adding all of our lessons, the descriptions of our lessons, and more resources that can be useful to our students. So thank you very much for completing this lesson and the seventh day of the course creation challenge, I'm gonna see you in the final thank you message.
