Transcripts

1. Introductory Video: So let me guess. You know that video editing is an extremely useful skill and you would actually like to start learning how to do so. But you just don't know where to start from. Do you know that more than 388,000 YouTube channels have more than 100,000 subscribers and are currently looking for, and those two higher, there is a literal shortage of digital editors, a real gap in the market. And I can actually tell you that from personal experience, I was actually looking to hire an editor for marketing channel for more than three months and I couldn't find one. So ladies and gentlemen, this is exactly why I created this course right here, you have come across the ultimate guide that bakes a complete beginner, no experience on Final Cut Pro whatsoever, and transforms him into a complete, experienced YouTube video editor ready to hit the market. So my name is lambdas, and after owning two successful YouTube channels and actually generating millions and millions of users through my YouTube video editing skills, I decided to shift my focus towards online education and actually teach people how to do the same. In my journey, I have thought more than 10,000 students I have generated regardless of cause the reduced sign, very positive that you can enjoy this course right here. So in this course, again, in less than 4 h, we're transforming a complete beginner to an experienced Final Cut Pro editor for YouTube. And I would actually like to emphasize YouTube here because we're diving into specific terms, specific tactics, which will make you irresistible to this market in general, this course is further subdivided into two big categories, the theoretical part and the practical part. We will start with the theoretical part in which we're going to be analyzing the importance of audience retention and tricks to achieve up to 70% audience retention, which by the way, is extraordinary and totally possible. If you follow the guide and the scores, then we're moving into actually discussing different tricks that YouTubers use that you don't know about to subconsciously emotionally charged their audience and keep them watching the whole video. And then we're launching Final Cut Pro and actually diving into the practical part of this course. During the second part, I will guide you through the interface of Final Cut Pro, everything that you need to know the different tools, how to import clips, how to change the speed, how to add B-roll, how to add a row, all of that stuff. How to download and use videos from the web into our projects. How to download music, sound effects, how to actually download an app plugins to our programs to boost our final Cut Pro editing software. And on top of that, on real-time, we're going to be editing one of my videos together. So you get to know how unexperienced YouTube video editor thinks on real time. So thank you very much for being here. I'm gonna see you in the first lesson of this course. 2. Theory - The Successful YouTube Edit: So welcome ladies and gentlemen to this first fuel radical video of the scores. In this video right here, we're gonna be discussing about what makes a successful you do better than first of all, before we dive into this very important lesson, who's gonna get a lot of information? Trust me, I would like to congratulate you for not actually skipping to the practical part. Okay, keep in mind that during the practical lessons of this course, yes, we are going to be analyzing in extent this editing software. You're going to be learning a lot of stuff. But there is no point on learning on all of that stuff without knowing why we're implementing it, without having the correct mindset behind all the information that I'm gonna be delivering you. Again, the practical part of this course. So welcome again to the theoretical part of this course. We're going to start with this lesson right here in which when we're analyzing what makes a YouTube edit successful. So enough with the introduction. Thank you very much for being here. Let's launch this presentation and let's go. So what legs determine makes a YouTube video successful? Well, it is a five-step process. It is a five-step process that it all comes down into keeping the viewer engaged, achieving a seamless flow and pace of the video and obviously understanding our target audience and delivering emotion. Now, all of that five staff, I know that your average YouTuber knows that he should keep his viewer engaged and he should aim for his viewers to watch the whole video. The one thing that absolutely no one talks about enough is the delivering emotion part. And we're going to have a complete different lesson on how to actually deliver your motion to your audience, because this is of importance, and this is pretty much the most important thing that I want you to get from this theoretical aspect of the scores, we need to deliver a motion to our viewers. This is the optimal way to keep them engaged and have them watching our videos. And trust me, if you find the correct combination of actually making some onclick on your video with a great thumbnail and a great title and keeping them on your video up until the end. So having them watching the whole video, this will make you a billionaire to this is the ultimate gold from wealth and fame on YouTube. So this is what we're trying to achieve right here. So now I want you to play a game with me, right? We got those two graphs. And if you have uploaded a video YouTube before, you know that on YouTube Studio, we can see actually the internals of our videos. I want you to try to guess which video was more successful again on those two videos. So we have this vector right here where they 13% average percentage viewed. And we can see that this is a 22 minute video, okay, with average view duration of 3 min and 6 s. You can see this is how the graph looks. People start with 100% and then they start declining. And we reach a steady point around here, which I would say as minute number four. And then gradually viewers declined up until the minute 22 in which we have close to 0%. I will say this is about 5% of people watching the whole video. Now let's compare it to this video right here. In this video you can see we have a higher engagement rate, right? About 28%. I feel if people watch the whole video, this means that 28% of people watch 20 min of video. Now those two graphs look similar, right? And the truth is that it is actually not that hard to bring your engagement rate from here to here. Both of those graphs are from two of my videos. So those are my personal graphs. So I have seen how it is to have a close to 10% engagement rate and how it is to have a close to 29 to 30% engagement rate with small tweaks. You can get your video from this to this. Can you guess what's the difference on the views that this video versus this video? God tried to take a guess. I'm going to tell you right now that you are not correct. This is the difference between those two videos. The video, this video right here with this graph and look how similar two graphs look. The dark blue graphs look really similar. This video, that 77 views. This video with 29% engagement rate, got 1.7 million views. I got 50,000, 15,000 subscribers. Just from this video, just from this one video. And if it was monetized, I would've made easily, I don't know, 12000 bucks easily. Okay. So I want you to understand that if you really, hey, take the information, I'm going to be delivering you in this course and implemented in your videos. You can easily achieve this. It is not hard. People do this. Many videos have more than 1 million views and it is pretty much all about capturing the information that someone delivers to you and putting them into practice in your videos. This is why we do this theoretical lessons and this is why you, which is right now watching this video will have a huge advantage over someone that has clicked away and started implementing the practical steps from now. So again, this is the difference between an editor that edits the video with 10% engagement and an editor, the editor video with 29% engagement. 15,000 subscribers more. So How do we keep our viewer and engage? To do that, we need to understand why the viewer clicked our video on the first place. And this we're gonna be discussing on how to perform actually target audience research. But I need you to know that there are four reasons why someone wants and has clicked on your videos. The first one is to be informed. The second one is to be entertained. The third one is to be educated, and the fourth one is to be inspired. Now obviously, all of those categories can cross with each other. So we can have, for example, information and entertainment together or for example, entertainment and education together or inspiration in the diamond together. But in general, those are the four reasons why someone would click on your video to be informed, to be entertained, to be educated, or to be inspired. Now, depending on if those people know us or if they don't know us. And we're gonna be discussing later on this lesson right here. What is gold audience, what is warm audience and what is hot audience? And those are terms that are very specific and digital video editing into using 100%? No. Okay. In order to do that, we need to deliver on what we are called and what we promised and our viewers in our thumbnails, in our title. So if we promised, for example, that this is an informative video because we have, for example, a title that says five best places to visit in Greece during summer. This is an informative video. Then we should deliver on what we've promised fast, and we should keep delivering on what we have promised throughout the video. Okay, this is of key importance and the easiest way to do this again, and many people don't talk about this, is to actually do this by delivering emotion, by emotionally charging our audience and emotionally target audience doesn't even have to be only to make them happy, right or wrong, to make them proud. We can make them angry, we can make them jealous. Those are all tactics to keep viewers engaged throughout our videos. Why do you think that YouTube is a good start beefing with each other to make the viewers watch their whole videos and being engaged and make more money and be more successful. So now let's talk about what is easy to do and what is harder to do. So everything's gonna make sense now. Now, information, for example, we're going to discuss on all of those four aspects regarding on how easy it is to deliver them, okay? And how easy it is to retain our audience. So just like everything else in life, there are easy ways to be successful on YouTube then there are hard nieces and hard ways to be successful on YouTube. When it comes to information, I want you to remember that information is very easy to deliver, but it's very hard to retain your audience once you have delivered this information. To give an example, if someone is looking for a specific information, for example, I don't know how to fix this broken controller. It is easy for us to deliver this information. It is easy for me to create a video and tell him, Hey, this how you do it. You press the buttons and its controller is done. But it is hard to retain those people, right? Because once they know, do this, once they have captured the information that they're looking for, they're out. And once they're out, this means that your engagement drops. So you need to be very creative to actually deliver information which these apart, but also keep your audience watching your whole video. Regarding entertainment, entertainment is actually harder to deliver. People are not easily entertained, especially these days. But once we have started entertaining people and people know what we're about, then it is easy actually to retain the audience and it's easier actually to, also, to build a community. On top of that, if a video is entertainment, then if a video is very entertaining, the editing doesn't need to be that hard. Now, when it comes to education, education is actually a very, it's an amazing, nice to dive on YouTube and in general on the Internet, right? Because educational content is easy to deliver and very easy to retain our audience. Look at the scores right here. This is an educational video visits and educational course. And it is easy for me to deliver the knowledge because I know that I'm good at talking to a camera. And you are interested in this video because you're constantly, constantly getting new datasets and unlocking new information. So there's a difference between information and education. Information would be, for example, how to fix this controller. But education is about a process. And again, delivering a process, explaining a process to someone, if you know what you're talking, isn't that hard? And people actually sit down and listen because they find value on what you're saying. Now, regarding inspiration, inspiration is very similar to entertainment. I would say that inspiration is entertainment and education together, it is hard to inspire someone obviously with your work. Again, as an editor, it is twice as hard to inspire someone with your editing. It is possible. We're gonna be discussing how to do this in the practical lessons. But it is also hard to retain our audience once they're inspired. We can do this across many videos, consecutive. So I wouldn't suggest you do dive in this inspiration, nice of YouTube. The best needs to start this 100% education, okay? And again, whatever we choose, we need to deliver on that and fastly. Okay, So now we're gonna discuss about the difference between cold audience, warm audience, and hot audience. And there is a, this is why I kept a whole slide on this and I need you to remember that we are brought up differently. Gold audience, warm audience and hot Orleans. Now I can hear you through my screen. You're asking what is called audience, what is warm audience, what is pod islands? And we're gonna discuss a bit about this right now. You need to know this, okay? You need to know this if you're about to start learning how to edit videos. Because if you don't know in which audience you are referring to, how will you understand your editing style of editing style to choose? So please stick with me right now, what is called audience, called audience. I want you to know that as audience gets hotter, they get to know us more. This means that cold audience are people that they don't know us. They do not trust us, and they're here to get what they want and leave for our videos. Again, a great example of a video in which I would be, for example, cold audiences. This video of this guy which says how to fix a zebra that's come off one side of the track, right? I'm called audience to this Guys. It's called gilding bolt. I didn't know him. I don't trust him. I don't know what he's about. I'm here to learn how to fix my zebra because I can unzip, let's say my shirt and then I am leaving. The harsh reality is that if you're a YouTuber and you're not known or can probably if you take this course right here, you're an editor of a YouTuber or you're trying to edit your own YouTube videos. This means you don't have an audience and the harsh realities that all of us, we start with every single view that comes to our channel being cold. And we need to make them know us, we need to make them to trust us. And we need to convert them from cold to warm and from warm to hot audience. So let's discuss an hour. What is, for example, warm audience, okay, warm audience. Those are people that have seen our videos before. So perhaps they see your first video on scold audience. Then they, they're amazed by your editing skills. And then the big arm, warm audience. Suddenly, they have seen our videos before and depending on the video that they solve hours, they might trust us or they might not trust us, okay? It all comes down into our editing style and how you deliver information. And then after that, they're here to get what they want is the primary thing because again, they search for something in your video popped up because they have seen a previous video of yours. But perhaps if we provide value and if our videos engaging, they might stay. This is the name of the game and this is the point in which we need to convert those goals, people, to help people. And this is done through warm audience. A great example of warm audience would be this video of Bill Gates. Okay, we all know Bill Gates. Okay, We have seen him before on the news or we have heard of him before. We might may or may not trust him, okay, But in our minds because we know that it is Bill Gates, we are here to take, for example, his word on artificial intelligence because I search for a video on artificial intelligence. But if he's engaging, if the editing is correct and I'm getting value from this video, I might perhaps stay to say, see what he has to say. Let's move into the most important and the coolest audience you can have. And this is hot audience, okay, Hold audience is the dream of every YouTuber. These are people that are subscribed to our channels. This means that they trust us and their fans, okay, there are fans, and if someone is our fan, this is the ultimate luxury, in my opinion, in the 21st century. Hot audience will watch anything you release just because you release this and you are a part of this video, they trust you, they know you, they love you, your fans. And this is an amazing example of been recognized as one of my favorite YouTubers. He has learned, she has taught me how to use cameras here, stolen videography lenses, everything that I'm teaching you in those courses I have learned through Peter McKinnon and trial and error. And this is why I'm a huge fan of Peter McKinnon. I am part of pyrimidines hold audience. This is why when he released this nine minute video of silently back in his camera bag? Just pretty much an ASMR video. I watched all 9 min. Okay. I watched all 9 min because I know, but I love it. I love his work, I support his work. Anything that Peter McKinnon releases, I will see because I am his hot audience and how they become his audience, to his editing, due to his storytelling, due to the virus that you deliver. And this is the holistic approach that we need to take when analyzing the aspects on succeeding on YouTube. Now, we talked about keeping the viewer engaged. This four-step process that we're discussing in this theoretical part of the scores, we discuss now how to give the viewer engaged. Now let's move into actually how to achieve a seamless flow and paste. This is of key importance and I need you to pay close attention to the next example I'm gonna give you. What's common. Do you think that it's the best to receive on a video? This is a very weird point to make, but I want you to stay with me here. The first comment is a comment of a person say, Wow, what an amazing at it. As an editor. As an editor, what do you think is the best common to receive? Wow, what an amazing edit. Or I absolutely agree with the points on your video and on top of that, and then he continues to edit something. Our ego, our ego wants us to receive those comments. Wow, what an amazing editor or editors did a great job. Wow, I love the B-roll of the arrow, or if they know what virile and error list. The truth is that this right here. Okay, Wow, what an amazing night. It is actually the wrong answer. We want. We don't want people to acknowledge the editing. We want that read it and it will be so seamless and want to flow in such a seamless way that people don't even realize that this video is edited. They don't pay attention to the edit we want are ready to be so good and so seamless that the 100% pay attention to the points of the person or whatever is happening in the video. So there's actually a mistake. I should have colored green this part right here, because this is the correct answer. So what I'm going to make it very easy for people to watch the whole video of hours without even thinking of clicking away and without even realizing that this video is edited to perfection. And how can we do this? We do this by choosing the correct analogy of those terms right here. Arrow B-roll, pacing using storytelling, sound design. If you find the correct way to combine those six elements, then you have the ultimate recipe to again, keep your viewers engage the inner videos. So let me introduce you to those terms now because these are gonna be very important for you to understand them know, for the rest of the scores. Okay, so what is a role? A role is those stockings shots of you or the person iterating your videos for talking to a camera. We're talking about pure fats, pure just sitting down talking to a camera. This is the first clip and the primary clip of our video. Arrow is further subdivided into visual parts and auditory parts of the URL. So for example, I could just voice over my a roll over B-roll, which we can discuss right now what Beatle is. Or I could just have this footage of me talking to a camera as a role. As you can imagine, if it's not a course and it is a YouTube video and you know, people on YouTube and in general, in social media in 2023, they have very, very low attendance bumps. We need now to combine a role with B-roll. And what is B-roll and gentlemen, B-roll are a visual aspect. For example, B-roll could be videos. There could be photographs that play on top of our aryl to help us visualize the point that we're delivering to our audience. For example, right now, I could be talking to you and if I would add B-roll, bill, could be, for example, a stock video of someone doing what I am describing in the Arab. I hope that this made sense, it will make sense when we added this on the practical part. But I want you to be introduced to those terms because they're very, very important. So arrow, it's me talking to the camera. The main video, the main YouTube video, and B-roll are extra videos, extra photographs that we add on top of that, okay, to help with our viewer engagement. Obviously here we're talking about the correct analogy of April and bureau. And we can only have a role, we can only have barely can't only have pacing, we can't only have that stuff. This is why we need to gain experience. This is why we need to edit a lot of videos. This is why we are having those theoretical lessons. Now the next thing is pacing. I have placed it in the middle of our frame because pacing is what connects the visual, correct pacing is the correct connection of our visual and our auditory aspects of our video. Once visual and auditory aspects are connected in the optimal way, this is the correct basic to how Bayesian could be the tempo, for example, of a great song which matches the vibe resigned deliver for our visual aspects of the video on double-dot, emotionally charging, our audience is a form of pacing. So in general, pacing is a term that you hear a lot editors talk about, and I want you to be familiar with this term. Obviously now, music is very, very important on YouTube and we're going to have a whole lesson on how to download tracks from the Internet, where to find drugs, how to choose the correct track for your video. But what I want you to know superficial right now from this lesson right here from the beginning of this course, is that music is just a way to communicate the emotion that we want our audience to feel. It's like telling our audience what to feel. So if we add sub music on RBD, we want that wonderful years to get emotional. If we add action music, what we want our viewers to be pumped on what we're telling them. If we add, for example, educational music, we want them to be interested in what we're telling them. So music is a great way to an consciously okay, balance the brain of our viewers to absorb the information that we're giving them through our videos. Of course. Now we're moving to storytelling. And storytelling is combined with a role and it is not in the hands of the editor to actually deliver great storytelling and to have great storytelling skills. But it is on the hands of the editor to choose the correct B-roll to add on top of the arrow that we're going to suit. And B-roll can actually help in storytelling. So again, we need the correct combination of all of those. And finally, we got sound design. Sound design. Most editors would say that it is optional. But I say that it is 100% essential in 100% recommended. We're going to see in the last theoretical video in which we're going to be analyzing different viral videos from YouTube, how many sounds they have added, and how many sounds on top of the music they have added. Sound design is of key importance. Storytelling, music, pacing, Arab Bureau. So ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the first two steps of this four-step process of creating the ultimate YouTube video, edit. Again, investors right here we discussed the importance of keeping the viewer engaged in how this could have a huge impact on your numbers on YouTube. And finally, how to achieve a seamless flow and seamless base. And why we don't want our viewers actually to acknowledge that a, it was great. This is the paradox that we talked about that your final work, when your work is done, it looks so seamless that nobody actually acknowledges you for the beautiful work that you have done. So in the next lesson, in the next few radical lesson, we're gonna be discussing about how to understand our target audience and how to actually target our edit based on the people that we have against us. And finally, we can have a whole lesson on how to deliver emotion before launching our final Cut Pro editing software and diving into this course. So thank you very much and we're gonna see you in the next theoretical video. 3. Theory - Understanding your Target Audience: Ladies gentlemen, welcome to the second installment of the theoretical part of the scores in which we're gonna be discussing about understanding our target audience and pretty much targeting a specific group of people with our editing tactics. As you can imagine, depending on the person that we're referring to, our editing is going to be completely different. So this is exactly what we're discussing in this lesson right here. Pretty much how to understand who we're referring to and how to target our editing to those people. So welcome, Let's launch our slides and let's go. First of all, why should we have a target audience? Why should we take a step back and analyze, sit down, open a Word document, write notes, and analyze who were referring to. Well, we're doing this because how are we supposed to use all of the tricks that we're going to be discussing in this course right here, to keep someone watching throughout our whole video, we discussed about the importance of keeping someone watching our all of our video without knowing who we're targeting. This is almost impossible. And this almost impossible due to the fact that most of the tricks that we're going to be using is gonna be basic human psychology tricks. And if we don't know exactly who we're targeting, it is almost impossible to utilize the correct techniques and have this amazing Waldstein graph that you can see right here. Our graph is more going to be like this graph right here. And we discussed in the previous lesson with how this video has 1.7 million views and this video has 77 years. Okay, So again, we need to have a firm understanding on who we are editing our videos for. And when I say a firm understanding, I don't only mean okay, are we editing, for example, a baby are waiting for a teenager or are we referring to people, you know, by experience that VD is a target, for example, younger kids. How a completely different editing styles from videos that target teenagers, and a completely different style from videos. Target, for example, elderly people. Yes, videos overlap. A video can target, for example, a wider range of people. But in general, we need to get extremely specific. We don't only going to need the gender, let's say, or the age. In this lesson right here, I'm going to show you exactly how to get extremely specific. And more specifically, there are three ways to pretty much target a very specific group of people. The first way is to create your ideal target Avatar. The second way is to ask artificial intelligence, and we're gonna go through this in this direction right here. And the third way is to actually refer to your past self, which is a way that people don't discuss about a very underrated way and a way to pretty much make sure that you're gonna be successful targeting those people because you know that you're targeting your past self. Don't worry, everything's gonna make sense in this video. So let's go. First thing is creating your target after this, ladies gentleman, is your first important actionable step of this course. Take a Notepad, open a Word document, and please write down those questions. You should be able to answer those questions before even opening Final Cut Pro. Okay, we need to get those answers, those questions answered, okay, and get very specific on creating our target outer. In the next slides, I'm going to give you those questions. Okay? And when we're done with answering all those questions, you are going to have a very specific person in your brain. And I know that some of my YouTube editor or friends actually have named their target avatars. They have Photoshopped a picture and have created this person. They have branded those pictures and have them posted in their walls. So when they're editing, they're thinking of this target avatar that we're going to create together right now. So the first subcategory is demographics, Okay? Those are very, very important points that we need to have. Target. What is the age? The age range, at least of your target audience? Are they male or female? What is their gender? Where are they located geographically? Imagine how different our L is going to be if we're, for example, referring to an Indian good, an American kid, a kid from the UK, a kid from Africa. Okay, so we need to know their age, their gender, and their location. After that, we get, we're getting more specific as we move with the questions. We need to know their interests and hobbies. What are the main interests and hobbies of a target audience? Are there specific topics or activities that they're more passengers about? What types of content are they already consuming on YouTube in this is a huge one. Okay? You need to be able to answer those questions even if it's not your YouTube channel that you're adding four, you can answer those questions. For example. The third question, again, knowing the content that they're already consuming on YouTube is of huge importance because we can copy the style of those other YouTubers that they're consuming for implement those tactics that we know how they applied them and they know what they use and they know that it works because they're keeping those people engaged in their videos, in our videos, and still some of their orange. So this is what we're getting. Now. We're getting into the emotional part about their interests, their hobbies, their passionate activities, and other consuming Other videos that are consuming on YouTube. So after their interests and hobbies, we're going to move into a very, very, very important point. It is their pain points and their challenges. What are the common challenges or problems that our target audience faces? When those people are on YouTube, they're there to solve one of those. The problems that they have under problem could be lack of information, lack of entertainment. All of that stuff we discussed in the previous lesson is a problem for those people and we're here to solve those problems. So how can my YouTube channel provides solutions or support for those challenges? And more specifically, to get more specific year, how can, via my editing, how can I provide solutions for those challenges? What information or guidance can I offer to help those people overcome their obstacles? And more specifically, how can I implement them in my editing? I want you guys to answer those questions. And more specifically, reform move into actually the next questions to answer when creating our target. Either I want you to notice this. Let's see the broader subcategories of the questions we're asking. We're referring to paint points, for example, in challenges. We're referring to interests and hobbies. We're referring to their demographics. But more specifically, what's this? The second subcategory is interests and hobbies. And the third category is pain points and challenges. Can you spot what is common in both pain points and challenges? And Hobbes. The one thing that those categories have in common is that both make our audience feel something. Both are emotionally charged. Again, you can see that it is very, very important to add emotion. So we're trying to find what is my target audience passionate about and what makes them pain, what makes them angry, for example, what are their challenges? So we can capitalize on that emotion and keep our viewers throughout our whole videos. Then, what are their goals and aspirations and other very emotionally charged subcategory. Okay, what are the goals and aspirations of our target audience? What are they trying to achieve in their personal and their professional lives? How can my content help them progress towards those goals? Again, a very emotionally charged subcategory, which we need to answer those questions. Now, the next, for example, is, what is their preferred learning or entertainment style? How do I target audience prefer to learn or being detained? Are there visually in the Dane and learning are their auditory or interactive? Do they prefer concise, bite-sized content or in-depth comprehensive videos? If we're referring to younger generations, for example, we're going to have bite-sized content if referring to earlier lead generations and more mature people. Okay, we're going to have in-depth comprehensive videos. What level of expertise or knowledge do they expect from the content? If you're looking to hire, for example, fix the problem on your PlayStation, you're not going to see if your instructor has any certifications. But if you're watching a video on, for example, the stock market or something, I don't know. You would perhaps want your instructor to have certain certifications. And I'm going to show you a way pretty much to bypass all of those questions that we're going to answer right now. All of the questions that we have to answer when creating our target avatar, I'm going to show you later in this lesson right here. How do pretty much completely bypass them, okay? And don't even have to answer them. Okay, moving on, we're going to analyze their social media and online behavior. Which social media platforms does your, does your target audience frequent? Do they prefer TikTok to do prefer Instagram, YouTube there before Facebook, we need to know that how do they engage with content and interact with graders in line? How many influencers guild channels do they follow? And do those influencers that they follow a line with my niece. Very important questions. Finally, we're going to answer a question about feedback and engagement. So how receptive is my audience to giving feedback and engaging with graders? Extremely important point and very, very unspoken about and very underrated. Because if my target audience is actually engaging with graders, they're gonna leave comments are going to boost my channel. This is extremely important. Why are specific channels or platforms where they actively participate in discussions? Are there any specific channels or platforms actively in discussing how can you encourage and incentivize engagement from your target audience. Again, this all comes down into answering their questions, highlighting their comments, make them feel part of your community to keep your numbers up. So this was the first way to identify our target audience, OK, to create our ideal outer, every single YouTuber. I can guarantee you that they have created their until ideal after. Because if you didn't do so, how can you know to who you're referring to? Now? Another thing you can do is to ask artificial intelligence about your target audience. This is a new thing because this course is updated is E2 and E3 course. So I'm going to show you how to ask artificial intelligence. We know, well no charge BP. We all know the power of artificial intelligence. And this is a great way to utilize the power of artificial intelligence in your YouTube channel. I have a complete course on how to use judging me to boost your YouTube channel. I have done this in my YouTube channel, and this is how you can do so. Now, the thing is that in artificial intelligence, we have this search bar, right? In the search bar, we input some questions and we ask artificial intelligence. And we know that AI has all of the knowledge on the web. So it all comes down into us asking the correct questions. One thing is that we don't know what questions to ask. So if I just gave you a die for example, and told you, hey, understand your target audience, you wouldn't do so because you don't know the correct question to ask. This is why me personally, I have created those questions for you. Okay. After trial and error and interfering with AI for hours and hours, I have graded this so-called prompt list and this gold, gold GBD. In coercivity, I have all of those subcategories, which pretty much inside of them. Okay. I have prompts that are used to help you in all of those subcategories. Of course, DBT, designed for online courses. But it's very, very useful also for you. For example, we're going to focus, for example, in the research bar and the research, but as you can see, is subdivided into three categories. Topic research, target audience research, online funnel ideas. Now, I'm going to give you an example, for example, from the target audience research, I'm going to give you three or four prompts that I have added in the target audience research part, of course, DBT, which can be linked and is linked in this course so you can access it from a lender have, once you buy this course right here. And it's pretty much things that you copy and paste in charge of the day to get the answers that you're looking for. These you can have completely for free. So you copy this as, act as a market trend analyst and provide insights on the future of and then you add your knees. Okay. So after you have decided on your knees, for example, and you do you ask Judge Billy to act as a market trend analyst and provide insights on this niche or act as a market research. Market researcher and provide insights on the compensation in this nice or act as a market trend Alice and provide insights on emerging trends on this nation. So obviously, to do that, you need to know your niche. You need to be certain of your nice. But once you have identified your broader nice, it is very easy for you to get insights on this niche. The provide Intel, for example, in the combination of this, this, and this is gonna be very, very useful for you. So now we're moving into the third way to understand your target audience. My personal best way to do so, the way with the least failure rates and the best results. Ladies and gentlemen, the best person to refer in your videos and refer with your editing. If you have the luxury to dictate to who you're referring with your YouTube channel. So if you're becoming an editor for your videos, this is a bit harder if you added for other people that, but don't worry about that, is to refer to your past self. This is extremely important and it is pretty much the biggest life hack, okay, when it comes to YouTube, video editing, either if we're giving information from our videos, either if we're entertaining with our videos, either if we're educating or inspiring with the videos, the absolute best target audience to do that is our past selves. Why? Well, think of that. We absolutely know everything about our past selves, right? So we've, we've literally been that person. We know our problems, we know our hobbies, we know where we live. We know exactly if we would click on a video, if this B-roll, the sound, the music we were using would appeal to us because we know ourselves better than any other person in the planet. This is why this is a very common tactic for YouTube to refer with your video editing and the general nice that you're choosing fraught with your channel. To your past self. This is the best and by far the easiest way to 100% identifying great this avatar. You have created this avatar, you are the avatar. You can get a picture of you, for example, from your living room and have it in your role because this is your younger self, is your target avatar. You know everything about your younger self. You have experienced the pains and challenges. So all of those, all of those questions, okay. The Hobbes, the pains, the challenges, the goals, aspirations. You know them because you are them, you have them, you have experienced them in first-hand, right? So you know exactly how to sell a video and how to keep your younger self watching the whole video. Because imagine how hard it is. For example, people do this. People do this and people have succeeded in this. But imagine how hard it is to actually basic video for a person that's 60 years old, or basic video and editing videos successfully for a person that's five-years old, you need to have a huge amount of trial and error to do this successfully. But it is very easy to refer to your past self and have good news, good news for you. Your past self could be yourself, for example, one week before day, one year before they, ten years before today. There is no such thing as old past self or new past self. If you have discovered something that you can communicate on your videos, then it is worth doing so. And also, more good news for you. If your past self has faced a problem which you can solve with your YouTube channel and with your YouTube video editing. This means that millions and millions of people around the world have the exact same problem as you. So it is worth sharing, it is worth adding, and it is worth putting it out there for audience to come to yourself. This is what I have done in both of my YouTube channel and it's worked perfectly. So ladies gentlemen, this was the way, this was the lesson, okay, to understand your target audience. And now that we have a clear image in ourselves to who we are targeting, it is time to move to the final and arguably the most important theoretical lesson of the scores, which is going to be on how we're going to emotionally charged our audience. Because an emotionally discharge audience is an audience, for example, that searches and information something in forward that you want to know, they learn it and they leave. But then an emotionally charged audience, they won't only watch your video, they will watch all of your other videos and it will come back with more videos because you managed to make them feel something. And this is one of the most powerful things that you can do in the 21st century. And guess what, making your audience feel something is 30% regarding how you communicate it with your camera, and 70% how you edit the musical YouTube, the sound of the bill, or you choose how much you edit from the a role. So we have a huge creating advantage, creative advantage as a doors on making our audience feel something. And this is what we're discussing in the next theoretical lesson of this course. Thank you very much and I'm going to see you all there. 4. Theory - Emotionally Charging our Viewers: I want to welcome everybody to this theoretical lesson of this course in which we're gonna be discussing the importance of emotionally charging, deliberately emotionally charging our viewers to increase our retention rates in our videos. And before we start on the actual presentation, before I start giving you all the different tips to do so, I want you to recall a major event in your life that perhaps a good many years ago. Okay. Once you to recall it in your memory and I want you to perhaps the record one or two of those events. And you will see that as you recalling those events, all of the events that you recalled have some type of emotion associated to them, right? It could be, for example, I don't know, a very happy moment, a birthday of your tile, the birthday of your brother, in which we have very, very emotionally charged because we're very happy for them. It could be, for example, the loss of an important person or lives, right? Because we're already very mostly charged and we tend to remember everything that is happening in those dramatic occasions, right? Or it can be a very cool moment. We're driving like a sports car or something. All of the huge memories that we form as human beings are associated with actually emotional charging. And this is one tip that they actually teach us in medical school, right? In medical school, we have to memorize a huge amount of information, in large amount of information, chapters, images, stuff that make no sense. And a tip that they give us is to actually try to associate what you're learning with Emotion. Because Emotion, when we're emotional as human beings, we tend to remember everything that is happening around us. How are we going to capitalize on this emotion to drive our viewers towards our whole video. It is very, very simple. When we get emotionally charged, it is on our human nature to keep doing what we're doing. We, as humans, we are emotional creatures. So when we see motion, we usually tend to stick there. And this is y. Let's gentlemen, we have this whole presentation in this YouTube video editing course with Final Cut Pro. So let's begin with our slides. So once again, ladies gentlemen, if you're to get something out of this lesson right here, is that emotionally charging our viewers is our way to hack into higher retention rates. This is extremely important. Watch every successful YouTube video. They emotionally charged, they're viewers. So let's go with this presentation. Right now. In order to be able to successfully emotionally charged our viewers, you need to have successfully identified those two things. We need to know who our broader niche is. Obviously, if you will, point number two should be in point number one. And we need to identify our target out or how how are we supposed to emotionally charged someone If we don't even know him, I'll get because different people obviously are emotionally charged by different events, different words, different sounds, different music tracks, different B-roll, different URL. So we need to know our broader niche. This is step one, and we also need to identify our target avatar, which we did in our previous lesson. And then really, I really, really encourage you to actually go ahead and answer those questions on a piece of paper, print a picture named him somehow and have this person as your target avatar. This is extremely important and I want you to have completed those two steps before we move into this lesson right here. Now, I need to know that depending on the type of video that we have, there are different emotions that we can culture. And as we said, those are the four different broad categories of dipoles, types of videos that you can have, right? We use could be informational videos can be educational, videos can be entertaining, and videos can be inspiring. So we can actually cultivate different emotions based on the key characteristics of our videos. What do I mean by that? For example, in informational videos, we need somehow, if we want to hack our way into higher retention rate, Right, We need to make our viewers passionate about at least the information that we're giving them. It is actually not easy to charge emotionally someone on an informational video because the character of someone that seeks for information, he's not that open and invested to be emotionally charged that easily. So informational videos, I want you to know that there are big harder for us to charge. A muscle is someone. Thus, it is harder to retain higher retention rates right up on the video. When it comes to educational videos, some of the best chances and shelter we have to actually increasing our retention rates when it comes to emotionally intelligent or audience is doing tweak them. So we need to intrigue our audience to make them curious about what we're educating them about. This is actually not that hard. Because again, it all comes down to the profile of the view hierarchy and how the viewer enters our video, how the viewer clicks on our videos and what expectations are of you has when he clicks on our video, when someone clicks on an informational video, usually wants to acquire this information and leave when someone clicks on an educational video, this means that they're entering the video A curious mind and it's not actually that hard to intrigue them. I, if you will, they're open to be intrigued. When we go on in entertaining videos, videos that are meant to entertain people. We need to keep them at the edge of their seats. We need to keep those people at the end of the edge of their seats because they're here to be entertained. They're not here to be educated, they're not here to be informed. Again, we need to do that when it comes to inspiring videos, obviously people are looking for motivation, so we need to motivate them. Now this sounds and looks straightforward, but I want you to think of something a common, if you will, action that applies to all of those trends sold been informational videos, educational videos, entertaining videos, and inspiring videos. What is a way to emotionally charged our audience? What is actually the best way to emotionally-charged our audience? There are many ways that we're gonna be discussing in this lesson right here. But what is actually the best way to do so? Well, the easiest way to dictate the motion that you want someone, ladies gentlemen, to fill is music. And I want you to actually read this paragraph. Again. It is the easiest way to dictate the motion that you want someone to feel. Okay, because us as editors, right? We will sub, consciously be dictating what emotions we want to calibrate it to our viewers. And this we do with music. If you and you can try to test it by yourself at home, right? Try to watch the video. Okay, and there are many examples you can find on YouTube. For example, try to watch a video with two completely different music tracks playing behind this video. Music subconsciously programs our audience and subconsciously dictates how our audience should feel. The same movie scene with funny music will deliver a completely different field in a completely different emotion to our viewers, rather than the same music scene, the same film scene, perhaps sad music. So music is going to be the biggest weapon that we have in our army, okay, to manipulate the motion of our viewers. For example, in those videos, we can tweak the different music tracks. We can choose. Passionate music, for example, for informational videos, intriguing music for educational videos, perhaps action music for entertaining videos, and motivational music for inspiring videos. Music, I want you to know that again, is the best way to dictate the motion that our viewers want to feel. And different tracks will deliver different emotions. And if we match, okay, if we match the motion that a delivers with the motion that are viewer wants to feel. Because when someone clicks on an inspiring video, they want to be motivated. When someone clicks on an educational video, vague want to be intrigued, so they're already open to those emotions. It is our job to give them their emotions through music. So this is the first huge realization that you should follow in this lesson. Now, as we talked about, those are the different musics and people from the rest of it is, for example, want to be passionate about them. In educational videos. They want to be intrigued in entertaining videos that they want to be kept at the end of the ideas of their seats, inspiring videos, they want to be motivated. Okay, now, the next big thing that we need to talk about and needs to be talked about very much is the combination of music and sound effects. Because it is only music is music and sound effects and sound effects and actually enhance not only the perceived quality of your videos, but also the motions that will be delivered through music. So first of all, let's go through our points, okay, obviously, correct music track can really increase your engagement. This is proven Evidence-based points those are, and maybe we'll have done this pretty much. All of you, the videos have some music tracks playing behind because music is proven to increase your engagement, there is absolutely no reason as an editor for you not to add music or sound effects in your videos. Now that can be nation of music. And sound effects are really sells and emotion the best way. And I want you to know that. I want you to remember that sound design refers to as adding sound effects on top of our music. To again, not only increased the perceived value of our video, but again, to sell the motion that we're trying to subconsciously program our viewers to have. Don't be afraid also, to use multiple music tracks and guide your viewers through an emotional roller coaster. This is of key importance and we actually learn this in psychology. This is a very common psychological trick when if we're able, if we're able to make our audience feel something and more. Most importantly, make them go through an emotional roller coaster, for example, make them sad, for example, or make them very happy. Again, make them sad, make them in drink, make them passionate, make them happy, make them sad. If we managed to make our audience feel, go through an emotional roller coaster. This is gonna be extremely beneficial for our video's performance. This is of extreme importance and I want you to think, for example, that, and remember some of the best movies that you've seen, right? Action movies, James Bond movies, Harry Potter movie, Star Wars movies. They're not just, they don't deliver only happiness. As an emotion. The goal, the main character goes through hard stuff, then she thrives, then someone, something devastating happens and ask the viewers go through emotional roller coasters. The same exact thing should apply to YouTube. And we, the superior editors, because you have enrolled in this course and you get to know all that stuff. We need to deliver on that promise. Trust me, if you make your audience go for an emotional roller coaster, you will win and you will have extremely increased audience retention. And we've talked about the difference between low tension and hardness retention. Five, 10% more retention can get your video from 77 views to 1.5 million views. Now how do we do this? How can we guide our viewers for an emotional roller coaster? This again, all comes down into achieving a seamless flow and base with the correct analogy of a road, B-roll pacing, music, storytelling, sound design. Okay, So let's give two examples here. Let's give an example of, for example, a sad video. I have a video. Of course, there's no such thing as a sad video or have video. But I will tell you, for example, what I would do if this was a serious with your right eye, more sad, Let's say we use the arrow would be a dark scene shot by the creator. Or if you're the greater by you with one light focused on us. So we already preparing the motions of our viewers from the visual stimuli. The B-roll, perhaps it's gonna be very low because we want this to feel more serious to build would be something describing as the arrow describes some very subtle stuff or something from the past, the pacing would again be slow. It would be a bit more calming. Music would be also coming, perhaps piano or something like that. The storytelling needs to match the a or the beetle, the pacing of the music and the sound design. Again, need to match this more. Let's say loci, dark vibe. I think that by now you have realized and understood the importance of emotional recharging our audience to keeping our engagement rates very, very high. That being said, now we're going to slightly deviate from the theoretical part to the practical part. But before that, we have the next lesson in which we're going to be analyzing two very successful YouTube videos and some common characteristics that they have regarding the editing. So thank you very much for sticking up until the end this video and I'm going to see you in the next one. 5. Theory - Reacting to Top Edits: So welcome everybody to this hand on analysis of how a successful editor edits a YouTube video. Now, in this lesson right here, we're going to react to two completely different YouTube videos edited to perfection. How do I know that those videos are actually added to perfection? Well, I know this dude. The fact that both of those videos perform extremely well, and they're both from two different channels of two different niches. But they have common editing principles that apply to both those videos that made them so successful. So in this lesson right here, we're going to break down those videos into some simple characteristics that they share. We can also apply to our adding to perfect our editing in pretty much a freeway. This is the fastest and easiest way to gain knowledge, which will help you brainstorm again, tactics on how to edit your videos better. So these right here are the two videos, the first video that we're going to react to, and we're not going to react with this video obviously to its contents. Going to be reacting to the editor's choice of B-roll, a roll, sound, sound effects, music tracks, and all of that stuff. And I'm going to explain to you the theory behind how these videos were added. So this is going to be the first video that we're gonna be reacting to. It's called $1 versus $1,000,000,000 yard gates from Mr. Beast. It currently has 99 million total views in seven days, which is absolutely amazing. It is also trending. And the second video that we're gonna be reacting to is this video from Matt Armstrong, which is called Dr. indirect Porsche G23 to the place it was crashed. Why am I reacting this video? Because those video, for example, I was uploading, it was uploaded two days ago and has 1 million views in a channel with 1.48 million US, which is actually a video that is performing amazingly. And why did I choose this bit right here? Because Matt Armstrong is not one of those YouTubers that has huge editor team and spends millions and millions on editing like Mr. Beast does. So let's actually react both of those videos and compare some editing principles. Let's start by watching the first minute of this video right here, and then we're going to break down what is happening. So let's together. What's the first minute of this video? Million dollars super young and it's big enough to hold tyrosine on the wire. Humans build this stuff. I'm going to say the difference between this movie, inDollar, Maggie, yup. $50 billion, DVR, all the way down to this $1 yacht. Why didn't you tell me this boat for $1? The storage is just kept breaking up. Yeah. In thousand dollars. It's cause you're 18 grand a year to store this, correct. Interesting. Yeah. Thank you. And after stepping on board, it was pretty clear why this yacht only costs $1. Now that we're on the water when we're working with are they supposed to do that? I don't know if that's worth $1. We're actually saying literally started seeking Bible, we put it in water. In this video, we have a million-dollar yacht, $300 million billion-dollar super yacht. Okay, How crazy was that? This was 1 min of this 14 minute video. And what happened in the first minute is absolutely insane if you think about it. And this is why Mr. Beast obviously is the most subscribed YouTuber. So we've got the introduction of this video, which is less than 10 s. After the introduction, see pretty much goes through, let me, let me mute this. He pretty much then goes through what is going to happen in this video in the first 800s seconds. Okay, so in the first 18 s, okay, he introduces us what is going to be happening in this video, we're going to go through this $1 billion super yacht. He gives us a sneak peek on this one billion-dollar super good without revealing, obviously everything's going to happen inside there. So we are left with this huge question mark to as rewards the rest of the video. Okay, then after this introduces the rest of the video, we're going to see $300 million Super yard, 25-year-olds reality 50 million super yard and all of that stuff in at this dot. And this all happens in the first 20 s. So this is what we said in the introduction of the scores that the first 10/22 are extremely important. And in second number 17, right, he already proceeds to buy the first super yacht. This is absolutely amazing. Then it sinks, right? And when listings and this chapter of the video ends, okay, he introduces us to the rest of the content, which is pretty much what is going to be happening in the rest the video. Now, what do I want to emphasize in this video right here, the first thing we're going to emphasize is the thing, the thing that we broke down at the beginning of the scores that every single video, no matter if it's edited from Mr. Beast, from us or from Matt Armstrong is divided into April, B-roll and sound design, a role in this case. Okay. Are two things This video right here in which he's pretty much talking with his friends in this $1 billion super yacht. And another thing that serves as a role in Mr. Beast video, especially this video right here is just the sound. So the first 20 s to a minute is just full of different B-roll shots. So this is B-roll, right? This is B-roll. B-roll again. So he just voice over in bureau of this point, this is how heavy Mr. Beast is with B-roll. And as we said, B-roll is just complimentary foods, but pretty much visualizes what you described with your words. So just B-roll, B-roll, B-roll, as you can see, only different shots. Okay. The next thing that we can absolutely agree on Is that Mr. Beast doesn't use this caption, right? It doesn't use captions, but he uses titles to emphasize what he says, especially the monetary parts of the video. So for example, right here, if you use a title as well as this video of money flowing to emphasize the fact that this bolt cost 1 billion. Let's see the next style that uses what emphasizes, right? Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. And again, the titles the next I'll use emphasize again the monetary aspect of the video. So he doesn't choose to use captions, but it uses titles when he wants to emphasize the price, okay, again, titles emphasize 50 million, entitled to emphasize one, a bug. Okay, the next thing that I want you to realize is that first of all, he used an arrow here and red arrows, especially with this right here, white outline, are very, very common on YouTube. And now let's focus into the sound design of this video. But I'm going to watch obviously the first 40 min just to watch the first minute. But I want you to realize that some basic editing principles applied to every single different video that's out there. So let's focus now on the sound design for a minute. Million dollars super young. First 2 s. Okay, first 2 s, what are we hearing in this video? We're hearing Mr. Beast coming in very huge voice saying, this is a $1,000,000,000 super yacht with epic music playing behind. And I'm gonna play it again. And once you see this $1,000,000,000 title popping in, we hear this sound effect. So let's see here again, Mr. Beast, epic music, gas and defect in the first 2 s of the video has gone on time. Billion-dollar super young, and it's big enough to hold on the wire. So again, he uses Mr. uses music every time that a chapter on his video begins or another chapter. And what do I mean by that? This is the introductory video, right? And this is where they'll say the introductory chapter of the video start. So we've got epic music. Epic music, epic music. Okay. As you can see, when we're decreasing the amount of dollars spent on the super yet the music, Let's say that unwinds and it becomes lame OR gate to match the tone is trying to deliver with his voice. I need you to remember we discussed this in introductory course, that music helps, Let's say, enhance the tone that we want to deliver to our audience. So we started with epic music introducing the billion-dollar yacht. And then the tone just decreased because we went to introduce the lame duck $1 yachts. And as you can see, when he says $1 per yard, he doesn't even have music. He Pause the music just to emphasize how lame it is. So let's listen to it one more time. All the way down to this $1. Why didn't you sell me this boat for the storage? Did you listen to that? When the yield owner title popped up with the arrows? You can hear this pops on the fact this and this bulb sound effect is very important and very specific to YouTube and it actually helps with the viewer engagement. And we're going to analyze how to add this pop sound effect yourself. So all of this is going to be done in the next lessons. Now enough with Mr. beasts video, I think that we're not going to react to all of those 14 min, but I can guarantee you that this video is heavily edited and with the same editing principles pretty much apply to the whole video. But again, I just want you to do to realize how much thought process goes behind the meter like that. Now let's go to another YouTuber that actually has way less subscribers and a smaller budget, but has created this very, very interesting and viral series of videos in which he pretty much repaired this car and drove it into place in which it was classed in the first place. So it's actually, what's the first minute of this video and then break down the editing, which is way more simple. Just got the all clear on the G23 that I'll just rebuild. But now we're about to attempt 100 mile road trip to finish off what Adam LZ started. Hey, Porsche. Take me to tell it the dragon. So I don't know, say crusty TC3 on a road called tail of the dragon in Tennessee, fiercely total Saturday. After buying and rebuilding the g2, g3 all wanted to test out. I'm finished the story of where it started, but not without a few stops. First, Will I ever drive the tail the dragon again? This is the probably the most obvious place I've ever been to some audit I prevail, I'm out. I don't know why he's gonna be outside is impressive. This place is called the Concord School. Located in Miami is a private club, members only, which just so happens to have a race track. Okay, So this was the first minute of the video, right? He goes through the story in the first minute of the video. And you can see that the first seconds of that minute are of extreme importance. Why? Because this is a video which is part of a series. And you can't, you will, you can, but it doesn't make sense to watch this video by itself without having any contexts with the previous videos that have occurred in the series, right? So what Matt Armstrong does is that by using intense B-roll, right? Pretty much describes what has happened in previous episodes. So if we just watch this video without sound, you can see that we can see B-roll footage again, this is heavily edited with B-roll footage of the car being damaged. Then this man in the pores center rating it an eight out of ten based on the rebuild that he did. Again, then he just goes through the process of them driving around up and do them the dragon, which was the point in which the scar actually grasp. So what's happening here is that Matt guides us through the story and this story is combined with visual aspects. Now regarding the auditory aspects of this video, they are not that crazy. As you could see. We had some violin playing, some very basic sound effects, and that's pretty much it. And I decided to compare these two videos, gave this extremely extra video, which is called $1 versus 101 billion-dollar yacht. And this video, which have completely different budgets regarding editing to prove the point that once you have the voiceover or a role and you start adding B-roll and titles and music and sound effects. Okay, you can really upgrade the production value and strike a gold videos just like this video that Mike strike right here with no, Not that much budget. All you need is to know the fact that B-roll and visualizing what you're saying in your video will help with the audience engagement. And at the end of the day, we have hired engagements. You will recommend our videos and again, they are going to go viral. Remember if you make your, your viewers click on the video and stay up until the end of the video, then your video is going to go viral. You are going to have this amazing recipe of virality and you're gonna become a multi-millionaire from YouTube. So again, you can see very basic captions, okay, If the important stuff, and then again, just a backstory of what has happened before in the previous series, in the previous videos of this series before this video has occurred. So ladies gentlemen, these were just two very simple and short examples of pristine YouTube video editing techniques and principles that we are going to be discussing in our course right here. Now, enough with the theory, I know that you are very eager and want to start to learn how to read those people. So let's launch our final Cut Pro editing software. And let's dive into how to edit YouTube videos like professionals while utilizing the power of this amazing editing software. 6. FCPX Interface Overview: Hello everybody to Final Cut Pro ten, this is the editing program we're going to be using. And this is the interface of the editing program in this video right here in this short lesson, it is very important that we cover each and every aspect of what you see in your screen. So you're comfortable with it from the beginning of the course. And it is very easy for you to follow along the steps and the complicated stuff we're going to be doing in order to drive us to our videos. So let's start with the very basics. As a complete beginner, what could you do to understand this program right here? Now as you can see, this right here is my interface. And the interface is further subdivided into 12345 different areas. This area right here is the so-called media area. This is the display in which we're going to see the videos showing this right here in the inspection menu. This is the part where it's going to find transitions and effect. And this is our so-called timeline, the worry, everything's gonna make sense. We're going to go through everything in this lesson so you're completely done. You don't have to stress about it in the next lessons. So how do we start with Final Cut Pro? How do we start editing videos? I can see no videos here. So inorder to start with Final Cut Pro, we need to create a project. So we press this button right here, new project, and let's name this project for example, YouTube video one. Rest. Okay? And now this new project is generated. How do we know this? Because right here it says YouTube video one. And as you can see, the timeline is generated. You can see those numbers here. Those numbers are the different frames and the different seconds that path. And as I can move my cursor right here, you can see, for example, that I mean 2 min and 25 s right here. Now, in order to make it more easy for you, I'm going to import a video. Again. Let's actually go through how we import videos in Final Cut Pro, there are two ways to import videos, either from the media panel right here. We press this and we access our hard drives from here. But the easiest way, the most straightforward way that I like to do stuff is to pretty much just open a folder with files and drag and drop a video in my timeline. Once I drag and drop a video, as you can see, it's great. We can move the folder away. And you can see this is the video right here, and we can see it in the display panel, in the middle of our screen. If I zoom in a bit and there are two ways to zoom in or a video from this button right here. As you can see, we go through, we press this button and then we move the cursor from the minus to plus. So this how we pretty much zoom in. Again, this is our video in order to play, we press Space, and as you can see, the video is playing space. Again. The video is stopped. Now, what are the different parameters that you can tweak and video and how does this apply to different panels that we have? So if I select the video and go ahead and click on the video, you can see the inspection panel pops up right here. And especially panel is further subdivided into those three categories. The media panel, the Color Grading panel, and the sound panel. For now, let's focus on the media panel. So when I press again on my clip and I move into this panel right here, the inspection menu, I can open the media, recall reading or the sound panel. In the media panel, we can tweak all of those different parameters are on how our video looks. For example, we can change the opacity of the video. This is 0% opacity. This is 100% opacity. We can change the scale of the video, okay, to scale it, to make it bigger or smaller. When you want to reverse something that you have done in Final Cut Pro, we use a very, very important hotkey, which is Command Z. So I can do whatever I want. Okay, if I press Command Z, it goes back to my previous step. We can also crop our videos from here, left, right, top, bottom again, just Command Z to bring those where they were. We can distort it, we can stabilize it, and we can add all sorts of different stuff from here. So this is how we tweak the visual parameters of our videos. A very simple parameters such as scale, Grob, and distort. Now, in the next subsection of the inspector menu, the Color Grading panel. This is where we change the color of our clips. And this Color Grading panel is further subdivided into three different categories. Exposure, saturation and color. Changing exposure makes the video brighter. As you can see, we can tweak the highlights, the shadows, the mid tones again and the highlights. So again, Command Z to bring everything back. We can change the saturation by pressing saturation here. And pretty much this makes the colors more vibrant as you can see makers scenery more vibrant. And here we can directly color so we can literally change the master level, the shadows, the mid tones, and the highlights, what color each one of those shows. In addition to that, the color panels you can see by pressing this button right here changes. Then we can actually choose between a color board, color wheels, color curves, and a hue and saturation curve. So for example, if we press color wheels, you can see that this panel pops up. And again, we can change with bigger precision, if you will, the shadows, the mid tones, the highlights, all that stuff. So we're going to go into detail on how to color with goods. But for now I just want to show you where everything is. Again, Command Z to bring everything back where it was. And finally, we're moving into the audio part of inspection menu in which From the audio part, we can pretty much tweak the volume of the video. This video to get doesn't have any volume, so it doesn't have sound, so it doesn't apply to this video. But you get the point. You can tweak many parameters such as the equalization, the loudness, noise removal, harm removal, all of that beautiful stuff when it comes to audio. And we're going to be diving into how to use all doing our YouTube videos is going to be tweaked from here. Let's say that for now we're done with the inspection menu. We're going to revisit it so many times it's going to be an expert in inspection menu by the end of this course. Don't worry. Okay, so now let's move again into this menu right here, which is the media menu. As you can see, all of those balances, as we said in the inspector, in the inspector menu, change in different subcategories. So the same will exactly apply into the media panel right here. You can see we have three different buttons. This button, which is the button which we imported lips and we don't really use because as we said, we import clips by dragging and dropping them. We have this button right here. As we press it. This is the media, but all the media buttons. So you can see this is how we source music for our video that we have already downloaded. So I couldn't go ahead, for example, and drag and drop one of those clips in my timeline. And as you can see now, I have music that I have downloaded and I'm going to show you how to download glyphs, don't worry, how to import them. I just want to show you where you can find your music. The same thing we can do with sound effects. So all of those sound effects are important and we can actually drag and drop them into our timeline. Very important to know where to find them. And the same thing as we did from the media panel, we can do if we have a folder with downloaded music and sound effects, we can also drag and drop them from a folded directly to a timeline. We don't have to actually download them into the program. Now, finally, we're going to move into the third button off the media battle, which is titles and generators panel. This is where we source titles and generators to the video. So as a complete beginner, if the only thing that you want to learn from this course is how to add titles. You're good, You videos. This is the place to go. You go to the media panel, you press this button titled, Can you search for, for example, basic dial? You press this, drag and drop it above your clip. And as you can see now we have a tile right here. To tweak those titles, we can select the battle and look at that. The inspector menu opens up to inspect the title. So now we have different subcategories here because we have selected the title. As you can see, this is the text. For example, let's write lambs. Now we can tweak the size, the lining, tracking very many different parameters, the face, we can change the color of the title as you can see from here. So again, as a rule of thumb, we select the clip and we inspect it in the inspection menu, can add drop shadow. We're not glow to the titles outlined. Going to have a complete lesson to how to add titles and how to add subtitles and captions for videos, but are now again, I want you to know where these things are. Finally, from this panel right here, we also Source Generators and we're not going to be diving deep degenerated because they're not that important for the purpose of this course right here, which is pretty much a YouTube video editing. Okay, so now we're done with the Inspector menu and the media panel right here. Now let's move into the timeline. So this again is our title right here, and this is where our clips rest. You can go ahead and drag and drop another clip, for example. You can see that it rests right next to the first clip. And if I press the space, you can see that it moves that say that this cursor right here is the time, how time passes in our movie, okay? And when I press the space, you can see that with time we'll pass in a steady rhythm. So whatever I have in the timeline, resting in the timeline will play accordingly. For example, I have this clip, this clip, and I want to press the space. You can see we play the first clip and then the second clip. So everything will play like this. If you want to zoom out to see the whole groups. Again, we go here, Okay, and zoom out. So this is how we tweak the parameters of the timeline from this button right here, you can tell which can change how big or how small are clips are shown in the timeline. If we see the thumbnails, for example, or if we just see the levels, if we also see the audio, this is pretty much how I like to Eclipse. And then other thing is that if we zoom in, you can see an eclipse. We have this bar right here. And when I press play and when I hover my mouse on top of this bar, I can tweak something and it says -5 db. So what do we measure with decibels? We measure sound. So this is how I change the sound. If I don't want to select the clip and go to the audio panel of the inspector menu. I can just do it the sound from here. And this is very helpful and very important because it's all about optimizing time and being more fast when you're editing. So this is again the timeline. And now we're gonna move into the final panel of day before we start analyzing the tools of Final Cut Pro, which is V. Again, transitions and effects panel. So this, this beautiful pattern right here is where we find our transitions and our effects. Now I want to transitions what are effects we're gonna be discussing in later lessons. But I want you to know that in this pressing this button right here, we find that different effects. And we can see we have, for example, this effect. This is '50s TV effect. And when I select it and hover my mouse on top of it, it actually automatically applies to see how it is in the clip that I have my cursor on. Okay, How many, many different groups? For example, the Add Noise globe, the aged paper affects so many different effects, huge different effects. We're not going to be using most of those effects. We're gonna be using very targeted effects. But I want you to know that this is where they're located and this is where we see our transition will refine that transitions. Again, insane amount of transitions in Final Cut Pro. And we're gonna be discussing how to download your own transitions. This way we find them, we drag and drop them between two clips. We're going to press Create transition, as you can see now. We can transition, for example, from one clip to another. So this is how we apply also transitions to your clips. This is how your plan, where you find effects to your clips. And this concludes the very basic overview of Final Cut Pro, pretty much where everything is located. Now we're going to dive into more detail into different tools and how to actually utilize and optimize the tools for video editing. So this is what's happening in the next lesson. 7. Manipulating the Speed: Welcome everybody to the second lesson of the scores in which we're gonna be going through how to change the speed and actually dream the scale of our clips manually. This is extremely important obviously when it comes to YouTube videos because we are going to manipulating, to be manipulating speed. And we are going to manipulating the size of our clips. This is very, very important, especially for the introductory part for the first 10 s of my video. This is our most important. So let's dive into Final Cut Pro and it's actually analyze aware to manipulate speed from and how to change all of those parameters. So this is, as you can see, the project that we have created in the previous lesson right here we've got clip one, clip to our different panels right here. So we got to get the medial panel, display panel, the inspector menu with all of those subcategories, we got the timeline. And if I press those two buttons right here, you see that we have our effect than our transitions. Now, also note that by pressing again, okay, this is multip, again, the button to open transitions. And in fact, we can close our panels, and panels can actually also close from here. So this, for example, is the button to close the media panel and open the media panel. This is the button to open and close, for example, the inspector menu and this dependent open and close our timeline so you can manipulate all of those parameters very easily. Now, let's move to actually changing the speed of a clip. Again, this is extremely important. How do we do this? First, we select our clip and we access this button right here, which as you can see, is pretty much a speedometer, right? So we press this, and once we press this, we have all of those parameters that we can tweak. And this is very, very important. Again, we can slow down our clip. We can make our clip faster. We can bring our clip back to 100% speed, hold, blade speed, all that stuff. Very, very complicated. If you want to dig, to dive deep in all of those stuff, speed round bins and replay, rewind all that stuff. So what should we known? What should we remember when it comes to YouTube video editing from this panel right here, which again is extremely important. The first one is the slowed down. So by pressing slow, by moving our cursor on slow, we can choose to slow it down by 50, 25, or 10%. Let's press, for example, slow down 50 per cent. You can see that the clip is now slowed down by 50 per cent. And how do we know this? It extended in our timeline. If I press Command Z to bring me to the previous step, you can see that the clip was, would extend from here to here, right? But now if we slow it down, it extends from here to here, so it doubled in size. Because remember that when we press Space in our timeline, this cursor right here moves in the same speed every time as time passes. So the clips become bigger when we slow them down, they become smaller when we make them faster. So as you can see, this is a clip that is slowed down by 50 per cent. If we wanted to speed it up, we'll go here fast times two, and now it is 200 per cent fast. Okay? Those two times faster, and we can do this, okay, again, fast times eight, you can see the game even smaller. Okay, so let's actually select our clip now go here and press normal speed. We can also tweak the speed of our clips by grabbing this part of our clip and making it bigger, as you can see, or making it slower. So this is like a manual way to, for example, slowed down your equilibrium. We have it slowed down 44%. We can do this, slowed down by 30%. So again, the change the speed of our clip very easily through this band right here. And I'm just going to make it fast, normal. The final thing that I want you to know from this panel right here because we don't want to mess with automatic speed speed ramps, all that stuff are pretty much more advanced than our level here. We're not going to be needing it for YouTube video editing. The one panel though that I want you to remember is the video quality panel. And when we press in video quality, three subcategories per bulb, normal, flattened frame, blending, and optical flow. When are we going to use optical flow? Optical flow is a very useful tool of Final Cut Pro. And what are we going to use this? So check this out. We've got this clip right, and it's on 100% speed. If we play it, you can see that this is normally how I felt this clip. Okay. Now let's slow it down to, let's say 45 per cent. Okay. Do you see that my hand is choppy, so it isn't very smooth because I haven't sorted in a frame rate in which can be slowed down by 45 per cent. These other hand, its job, it's not very smooth. Okay? If we want to do it smooth, we can do it with artificial intelligence, building in Final Cut Pro, which pretty much analyze the different frames and adds more frames to the frames that you already have to make it smoother. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is optical flow. So optical flow, we press Our video go here. Video quality, optical flow, and as you can see right now, it analyses for optical flow and up here, okay, this is a panel which it pretty much says as the process of Final Cut Pro is going through is for example, when we're exporting it clip, it says sharing. Now it has analyzed for optical flow. And if we press Play, you can see that the hand is smoother. Now. It is smoother because we added optical flow. So let's see it again with optical flow. And if I copy, paste this clip right here, and I disabled optical flow, let me disable it. I think from here, normal, you can see that this is normal. You can see choppy, right? And this is with optical flow. Look how smooth that is. This is Lenin gentlemen, Just a small tip for you to know. If you don't have a video slowed down perfectly, you can use optical flow to make it even smoother. More of those tips will come as we move on for the lessons. But now let's start with the very basics. Now, we've analyzed how to change the speed, right? And we check this panel right here, which again is very important and very cool. Would you don't need to know anything else? Just slowed down fast and video quality, optical flow, those are the most useful things that you should know. Now, let's move into actually changing the parameters of our clips, like making it bigger, making it smaller, cropping and distorting it. And we said that once we select the clip, you can do this from the inspector menu, right? So right here we can change the scale, for example, make it bigger scale, x scale. Why? But there is also another way to do this, and it's from this button right here. And this is, for example, the way that I like to scale my clips. So I press this button right here. Again, if you press this small arrow, you can see that we have those three subcategories. Transform, crop the stored. And where else do we find those three subcategories right here, Transform crop distort. So this is just another way to access the inspector menu, but it is a more manual way to do so. So this, why I like this, Let's press Transform for example. And now you can see that we have those different, let's say, blue buttons right here, which we can select and make the clip bigger by ourselves. Just drag and drop, drag and make our clip bigger. And as we're dragging, you can see that the values change in our Inspector menu. So this is a way, for example, to make your clip bigger from here. We can also crop a clip from here, go here, grew up. And we can move those parameters again to crop our clip to the dimensions that we want to click Command Z again to bring clip clips back and can also distort a clip. We don't usually use the store that much in a YouTube video editing, but it's cool if you want to just, It's for advanced editing pretty much, but okay, you can use this, reset, bring it back, and we're also press down right here to move out of this panel right here. Okay. So this is just another way to move and change. Let's say how Eclipse look from these buttons right here. These are three buttons pretty much in the display menu. It's very important for you to know them. We talked about the speed button, we talked about the Transform crop and distort button, and we're pretty much done. This is the color, the color button from the display menu. It's increments helps us color grade eclipse fastly, but it's not that good. In fact, that is why I'm not going to get into detail about this button. Okay, so now we are completely done with the Display button and we're, we're able to move to analyze a very important chapter of Final Cut Pro, which is actually the different tools. Again, we need to know the different tools. We need to know the different hotkeys to access those tools because it is very important for us to edit videos efficiently. So this is what we're tackling in the next lesson. 8. Introduction to The Tools: So welcome to the third lesson of this course, in which as we discussed in the second lesson, we're gonna be going through the different tools we're going to use in Final Cut Pro. And what do we mean tools when we're discussing about the editing language? Because I know all of those terms can get a little bit weird. So tools are pretty much, Let's say, the different things that your mouse cursor can become. So right now, our mouse cursor is a normal mouse cursor and this, for example, is called the Select tool. So where do we find all of those different tools and how do we change all of those different tools? As always, it is a button and guess where it's located. It's located right here. So when you press this button right here, you can see that it's actually a cursor. We press this and we see all of the different tools that we have. Let's go through them. So to select all the trim tool, the position tool, the rain selection tool, the blade tool, the zoom tool, and the hand tool. And as you can see, all of those tools are, let's say, represented by something that represents them in real life. So the Blade tool, for example, is a razor blade. The Zoom tool is a magnification glass, the hand to lose a hand. Okay, Pretty cool stuff. How do we access those tools? There are two ways to access those tools and this is a great point to actually explain to you something when we're editing videos and I have edited hundreds of videos, nor at it is all about time and speed, efficiency. Okay? So we want to be fast when we're adding videos in general. And how are we going to be faster? Let's say we're here and I want to access the blade tool. There are two ways to do so. I can either go here and press blade tool. And now as you can see, I have the Blade tool. Or if I have again the select tool, I can just press B on my keyboard. And this might have saved us a second right now. But during our big edits, we're gonna be doing this hundreds of times. Those are hundreds of seconds. So this comes down into decreasing our video editing time quite a lot. So I want you to know that this is the place in which we changed the tools, but it really wants to remember the hotkeys, hotkeys, Our this Select tool. We press a on our keyboard to him too. We press T position to WordPress be P, range selection tool, our blade to be Zoom, hand eight central lines, the first letter in which each tool starts from. What are the most important tools? I never use all of those tools. From all of those tools, I pretty much use two of them. Can you guess what we'll do over r? The first one is the select tool. Here we all use the Select tool because with a selector we can, for example, choose many clubs, manipulate them, all that stuff. The second tool that I use is the blade tool. And this is pretty much the basic principle of video editing, right? We got and connect together two different clips. So how do we cut a clip using a blade tool, we bless Being or keyboard. Now we have the blade tool and we go through just if we hover our mouse with a blade tool, you can play the clip. So let's say that I want to cut the clip when the knife is done cutting the box. So right here, we find this frame and I click on my video. Now that I clicked the video and press a again to access the select tool, now you can see that I clicked on the video. The video was split right at this point right here and have 12 different clips. And this is pretty much how we blade, how we got the ecliptic generate two different clips with a blade tool. It is very important we can do this in all of our clips, will pretty much do this in order of Eclipse. I say that this clip is, for example, a little bit bigger than I wanted that Let's blade it. Got it right here and press B on my keyboard. Click here to access the Select tool. Select this and I deleted. So now I have trimmed down my clip, but there are many ways to do the same thing in Final Cut Pro as we discuss. For example, you can change the size of a clip from here, okay? But you can also change it from here. The same exactly. The same exactly applies in the trimming down Eclipse. Because again, as we said in editing, we're going to be trimming down Eclipse very much. So we can either do this by selecting the clip, pressing B to access blade to clicking, Okay, and then again a, select again the clip, delete what we don't want, that there is another way to do so, and the other way is to pretty much select the clip with our Select Tool and grab the end of October when I hover my mouse up the end of the clip, you can try it in your own editing software. When I hold my mouse at the end of the clip, you can see that it changes to this tool right here. And once we click, we can actually extend our clip to its full extent. And once this bar right here becomes red, that means that we have actually extended as far as it comes. This is the end of our clip. This is just a fast way to change, let's say the length of our clips. By grabbing the last order first frame, we see and actually changing their duration this way. This is not obviously a very, let's say, optimized way to do so. I like to edit my clips and trim my clips down with the blade tool and the select tool. So in your keyboard, I want you to have one finger of yours in Bhutan B and one finger of yours in Bhutan a, because we're gonna, we're gonna be doing this one red in Eclipse. We're gonna pressing Space, stopping where we want to edit and cut down or clip, then be to access the blade tool, click a two axes, Select Tool, select, delete, then getting space. Okay, Stop, be with, trim it down. Select Delete space, okay? For example, be again, trim it down a to select the last part, delete. So this is how we're going to be editing our clips and guess what? Okay, let's add this sound right here that I can source from the media panel, for example, let's add the sound and drag and drop it right here. Okay? Now, the very important thing that we're going to discuss in front, because brown we can discuss in next lessons. Let's say that we imported this sound right here. Again, we press the space. What's going to happen? The sound is going to start playing, but we have nothing on our media banner on display panel. Why? Because in Final Cut Pro, that is above the rest in the timeline, obviously plays always, it always plays first. What I mean by that, you can see that lets, you don't want the sound to be playing, let's say next to this clip. Okay, So as this clip plays, we have this sampling. We need to drag and drop this down below or clip. So now we have the clip playing the sound, playing with the clip. What I mean by that is that again, in Final Cut Pro, the clip that rest above in the timeline place first. For example, if you grab this clip right here and rest it above this clip, you can see that this clip is going to be playing. This clip plays now, but when I drag and drop this clip above it, this clip plays. So I need you to remember that when we're adding a sound, okay, we're gonna be adding it below our clips on the timeline below or clips. So just do a small test in your Final Cut Pro editing software, we want music to be playing. We have three clips right here, right, for its clips and our music. So once music that we're playing only in the middle of having him do this. We're going to press a to select tool that we have right now. Grab our track and drag it below our middle clip. And then there are two ways to trim down our clip, our sound, okay, to just have an applied the middle clip, the first one is depressing, be blade tool and bleeding or sound right here, then select all selecting and deleting. So as you can see right now, we've got sound only in our middle clip. Or if we were in this case right here, there's another way to do this. Select the sound, got the end, and just drag it down so we change its duration manually. So let's, let's gentleman was a very simple and basic introduction into the different tools and how to use them in our timeline. Now we're done with the very basics and I think that we're ready to start importing our clips and actually editing our YouTube video step-by-step so you understand everything in the process. And that's exactly what we're doing in the next lesson. 9. Editing the A Roll: So ladies and gentlemen, now that we're done with the introduction to the interface Final Cut Pro, as well as the different tools that we're gonna be using. We discussed about the different panels, how to change speed, hurricanes duration, where to find everything that we're going to be needing to trim our YouTube videos. It is time to actually dive to importing our first file that comes right off our cameras. And I'm going to introduce you to the first thing that you need to do when editing a YouTube video. So without further ado, we're going to dive into this together. Let's actually drag and drop the file that came right out of our cameras in our final Cut Pro timeline. Okay, So this is the file right here. And immediately when we imported, you can see that this becomes blue right here. I have already imported before I started shooting. But normally when you import a new virion Final Cut Pro, you will see that this importing media section right here is going to have a percentage. And as a rule of thumb, before we start actually manipulating the clip, we want to wait until this percentage reaches 100%. This means that the clip is successfully 100% important and we're ready to start editing it. You can start editing before this percentage becomes 100%, but it's just better for the health of your computer to just wait for it to become 100%. So now I've got this video right here. What is the first thing that we do? The first thing we do is that we're going to zoom out on our timeline to see the whole view. Because right now we can see only the first, let's say 15 s. As you can see that the video is 10 min and 53 s. So how did we say that we zoom out. There are two ways. The first way is to either press Minus on our keyboard. And as you can see, this zooms out. This is the whole key that we talked about, the k, It is preferable for you to actually zoom out and zoom in using hotkeys. So we're zooming, pressing the plus button, we zoom out pressing the minus bottom. But you can also do this from here, as we said, with this sliding cursor right here. Okay, so now we have the whole video and gentlemen is where we're gonna be discussing. And we have discussed very much an introductory of this course right here. The difference between a row and B-roll. This right here is me talking to a camera. First, as a rule of thumb in a YouTube video, we added a role and then we go ahead and actually add B-roll elements and videos on top of that, and motion graphics and titles on top of that. In this lesson right here, we're going to be editing very basically and briefly, the role of our video. Now how are we gonna do this? It is very important to make our lives easier, okay, and what do I mean by make our lives easier? Let's optimize how we view this editing software for the editing of our April. This means that we don't really need the media panel, right? Because we're not going to be importing any other clips. So let's close it. That we're not going to need the inspection menu because we're not going to be manipulating this clip. So that in this video right here. So let's close also the inspection menu. And as you can see right now, we have our video and the display menu, which is perfect. Now, let me zoom in a bit. I want you to remember this when it comes to a role. Okay, we need to trim pretty much if you play this clip, Let's play that clip and you're going to find out what I'm talking about. Let's play the clip. Okay? For example, this part that I'm not talking is going to be just gonna get rid of it, right? And the video starts right here when I start talking. For example, right now I'm talking right? If we let it play a bit right here, you can see that I have a pose and when we are editing a role, the first thing we're gonna do is diminished those pauses. How am I gonna do this? We're going to trim, trim the parts when, suppose start and when the poles and, and believe the space in-between. So let me zoom in a bit. For example, you can see we have this bowls right here, right? How do we know that there's a pause here because you can see the audio. Because the audio right here we have sound waves. This means that I'm talking right now, right here we also have sound waves, but right here we don't have sound waves in this part. This means that no one's talking, let's hear it. Okay, so we basically don't even need to watch the video because we know where we have sound waves and we know that normally we need to press the blade tool. Okay, blade where the sound, the pose of the sounds start. Blade where it ends. Press a Select Tool, select Delete. So what's now? So really the first step when editing B-roll a role, I'm sorry, is to take out the sports in which we just have Oreo and we don't have audio pretty much. And nothing is happening where we can find those pods again, by looking where we don't have sound waves. And to make our lives easier, we can press this button right here. We can change the timeline. Look at this. We can almost not have any image in our clip because we are only interested in the sound waves. Okay, so let's do this. For example, look at how easy our life becomes here. We can zoom in a bit, zoom out, and with the blade tool, we just delete the parts in which we don't have sound. Then select tool and we close the gap. So as you can see, this is just mechanical work at this point. We're gonna do this. So right here, if you're not sure, like for example, we have this small bump right here, just trim it Without even listening to the video. Okay, listen. We're not even playing the video back. We're just trimming and trimming and dreaming and dreaming. Okay? So here, for example, here we delete, delete, okay, blade tool. So this again will, we discussed in the previous lesson where it's very important to know how to navigate fastly between the blade tool and the select tool. Again, blade too late, too late to if we zoom out, we can pretty much do it in a bigger extent. But this is how I do this. It's pretty mechanical and every editor has his own way of doing this. But just make sure also when you're editing down and you're deleting stuff to just state right at the border when this pause starts and right at the end where it ends, we don't want to have any poles is because the slightest poles will actually exhaust our audience. So no poses, and this is pretty much how we roll. Okay? So right now we've edited the first, let's say 3 min and 20 s. Okay? The thing is that when you're shooting a video and you probably know this was going to be the week pretty much. Sometimes we repeat ourselves, right? It's not like flawless in the first stake. So now we actually need for the first time to listen to a video, listen to what we say and the parts that repeat themselves, we are going to trim out. So let's actually increase the sound and let's go ahead and play the video. So as you can see, the first two clips, we're fine. But listen to this. As I was shooting this, as I was shooting this sequence right here, which I say, I thought to myself. Afterwards, I decided to shoot it again. So right now in this clip right here, I actually read this. I then read it again. So this is completely garbage. We can delete this and we're going to pause when we listen to I felt myself because as you can see again here I say one, I thought to myself, I don't myself. Cool. And right here I also say I felt myself. So what are we gonna do when we expect we're going to play, we're going to play the video. When we expect me to say I thought to myself before actually saves, I'm going to press pause. And we're going to lock this pin exactly where I should start saying I felt myself. Then edit and delete the part in which I talk and replace it with the other. What I mean by that, check this out. Places that I've uploaded $0 spent on advertising. Okay, so now I would say, I thought to myself, now, blade tool right here we have set the pin because we boast exactly what I'm going to say. I felt myself blade with the blade tool, a select, delete and watch this now, watch how those two clips should blend together. And they didn't learn together because we haven't trimmed down exactly. There's a small gap in which we have silence. So how are we going to gap this gap? We're going to press the plus button. We're going to zoom in our timeline and look at this. If we zoom in, there's actually a big space which is of silence. So let's actually get, trim this down. Okay, trim this down. We zoom out. And let's go ahead and listen to how the audio transition sounds. Advertising. I felt myself is great, but I also heard a small noise. So this right here is also not that we don't need. Let's delete this. Let's zoom out and let's listen to this transition again. I taught myself, isn't this flawless? Let's go one time and listen to it. Spent on advertising. I thought to myself, this is actually a flawless and this is a great way to transition the audio from one clip to another course out of scratch. $0. So completely no budget to start generating money on a monthly basis with an online course? Well, the answer is, surprisingly, in this video we're going through the resources, the tools. So this pretty much ends the introductory part of my video. Then I go into details on how to create a course with $0. But let's say that this right here is the introduction of my video. This is the first, let's say, part of the video before we enter the main theme of the video, which I actually go through the different steps that we discussed about this. How do we know the length of it? Wechat right here, 35 s, and five frames. Okay. And as you can see, the video was 10 min, but if I were to write it down now it is 8 min and we haven't even dreamed down the whole video. As you can see if I zoom in a bit, you can see that here, for example, we haven't dreamed down this video, but because we're going to be following the same principles across the whole video. You got the point. I think in the first 30 s, we don't have to do this for the whole like 10 min of the video. So let's actually, let's actually focus on those first 35 s. Okay, let's focus on those first 35 s. We're done, right? We have trimmed our arrow, we have dreamed the gaps on the audio. And now let's identify the first 10 s of the video. So let's see the first 10 s waiting more than horses and having more than thousand enrolled students across all of my courses in all the different domain course marketplaces that I've loaded. $0 spent on advertising, sold this pretty much the first 10 s after, have created the many cores and have the all those enrollments with $0 spent on advertising. And we know, as we mentioned Introductory of discourse that these 10 s is first and seconds needs to be heavily bombarded with B-roll motion graphics titles and all that stuff. So in this fashion, this is how we pretty much edit a role. And you are going to follow the same principles that we discussed in this period here throughout your whole video. I'm not gonna do it in my whole video because again, you get the point. It's going to be a bit boring. I feel if I do it in my whole video, but I'm gonna do it off camera. So we have a radically in our next lesson. And now after we done, we've done in how to actually edit our role, we're gonna be discussing on how to add titles, how to add captions, how rotten motion graphics, and how to move into B-roll when it comes to editing the introductory part of our videos. So this course again is going to be further subdivided into three divisions. How to edit the introductory part, how to edit the main body, and how the output of our videos. So now we're done with the general a rule that applies to all of those categories. It is time to move and dive deeper into the first subcategory, which is how to add it with B-roll and motion graphics. The introductory part of our video which extends is gonna be the first 35 s. And more specifically, the first 10 s is gonna be very heavily edited. So thank you very much. I hope that you learned something from this video and I'm going to see you in the next lesson. 10. Adding Captions: So let us determine in our previous video we discussed on how to pretty much Edit and trimmed down the air. Alright, so we have imported this clip and we tried to edit and cut down the parts in which I don't talk. Or there's, for example, some bloopers in which I repeat myself. Now that we're done with this, it is time to actually go ahead and start adding the bureau. So what is B-roll? We discussed this in the introduction of this course, but B-roll is pretty much elements that go on top of our April to increase the engagement of our audience and make our videos look, sound better. And pretty much just keep our viewers watching our videos for a bigger amount of time. This is pronounced the goal that we want when it comes to YouTube video editing, what is the best way and the easiest way to add build your videos are good B-roll as we, as we discussed. It can be photographs, it can be videos, it can be sounds, motion graphics. But the easiest way to add video to your videos is with text and more specific titles and more specific actually, captions. Captions has been noted to increase hugely the Waldstein of our videos in this lesson right here, this is an extremely important and useful lesson because I'm going to teach you how to add captions in your YouTube videos completely for free. Extremely fast. Okay, we haven't discussed about titles yet, but I'm going to show you back in the day what it took for us to add captions to our videos. Okay, so let's try to listen to what I'm saying, to add captions. Sorry here I say, for example, after creating more than 12 courses back in the day, what we used to do is go here, again, go right here in the title bar, then search basic, basic tidal, drag and drop a basic tags right here. And pretty much then start manipulating the title and manually writing whatever. I've, I'm talking in my video. This is completely outdated and I don't want you to add captions this way. We're gonna be adding titles this way. Again, the point of the video, which are very important, we want to emphasize, but just let me show you how easy it is to add captions to our videos. So what are we gonna do is I'm going to use an application which is called Gap cut, cut, cut and kept cat looks like this right here. This is the icon of cat. Cat. Cat. Cat is a completely free application that utilizes the power of artificial intelligence and pretty much transforms the words from our videos to read the captions, let me show you how to take a video from Final Cut Pro imported to tap that. And pretty much add completely automatically and completely free titles. So let's go. The first thing I'm gonna do here, okay? So the first thing I want to do is pretty much to export our video before it is ready. We need to export it, to import it in cabinet. How do we export videos and Falcon Pro? We go here, press this button right here, and then master file. Now we need to name it somehow. Let's just name it. Gap gut, let's say captions. Okay, Next, and we choose a destination, let's say Desktop for example. Now, you can see this bar right here starts loading because we are sharing this video. So you can see the VSD exploring times that is usually talked about in Final Cut Pro. Relatively fast as this is exporting. Let's go ahead and actually open gap cut. Okay, So right here for example, we're opening the abdomen. By the way, this is the completely free version of gap gut. Okay, So start grading. Again. We have this new CAP Gut Project limit. Bring the leader right here. Okay? So we've got now this cap, cap project. We press Import or it's pretty similar as you can see, the Final Cut Pro, right? Like the basic things are similar. We get the Import button right here, then visit the inspector menu. This is our timeline, it's just a bit different. Then we normally import and drag and drop our grip right here, we place our clip and as you can see, this right here is pretty much a similar interface with Final Cut Pro. What do we have? We have our display area, our immediate area, and our inspector menu, and of course, our timeline. Now, if you're using the paid version of gamma, you can actually add dialogues this way. But I'm going to show you in this video right here a, let's say, unethical way to do this and to actually utilize the free version. So when we add captions for videos, it's gonna come with this huge gap, got a watermark. So listen what I do as a tip to remove this watermark very easily when I'm adding my Titles. Okay, So what's this? We're not actually going to import this version of our video. We're going to import a video, our video from Final Cut Pro without image, just the sound of it. So let me delete this and let's go again in Final Cut Pro, what we're gonna do is I'm going to zoom out our timeline. We're going to select everything on our timeline. We're going to press right-click copy, right-click on our mouses and detach audio. So what did we just do? We detached the audio from our video elements. So check this out. Now, we've got video, we've got audio video, audio clips in the clips are detached Two different versions and we can just grab the audio and place it wherever we want. Right, but why did we do this? Because we want to disable the video part of our project right here. So let's actually have the Select tool, select all of those. Again, once we select this, we press V on our keyboards, check what this will do. V disables the image of our videos, right? So what do we have now if we increase the audio, okay, listen, we can just the audio. So now we have just the audio, no image whatsoever. So check out what we're gonna do now we're going to export just the audio, video one, let's say audio, right? Save to the destination. And let's see if we're exporting. We're actually exporting. So once we start exporting, we're going to wait until it's 100% exported. This is a very important step of this tutorial, and this is just the easy way to do this completely for free and everything is gonna make sense. I promise you, I'll get so let's just wait until this goes 100%. Okay, 68, 73, it's just relatively fast as you can see. A 5.9. Let's see 94, 100%. Great. So we close this and now we need to actually have our video and the previous state that it was, how are we going to do this? We're going to press on our keyboards Command Z, Command Z to undo Command Z. And this is what exactly we want. Now, ladies gentlemen, we have the completely blank video with just the audio. So let's open again goblet and let's import this video, the new video that we just created, drag and drop it right here. As you can see, we have obviously a blank space and with just audio, Let's press Space and listen to it. More than absolutely amazing. So what are we going to do now in capcom? We're going to select our video. So click on our video and go to text. From text. Let's make this bigger for you. Go to the texts from text. We're going to go to press this very useful button right here, which is called auto captions. Okay, we check the language and we press Create. What's this gap gut is automatically while utilizing the power of artificial intelligence, creating automatic captions for videos. So this is pretty much going to generate us a completely automated gaps and flow, which is of extreme importance. Again, physically, I can describe you verbally how hard it was back in the day to do this. But now we'll just wait while utilize the power of artificial intelligence and just look at this. Look at this. This is the final video we got. So if you press Space, What's this course? Enrolls students across all of my courses. Marketplaces. You can see that we now have literal captions for videos. Like if you want to change those, we can do this. We can select them, right? With the select to select, just select them, drag and drop our mouse in front of it, and we can change the size of the captions. Okay, the color of the captions are going to want to change everything. It's brought deep. Don't make the size huge. And how, why don't we want our size to be huge? Because once we remove the watermark on Final Cut Pro, you're gonna see the size of the captions is about this. This is the biggest size that we can. Let's make them bold. Let's make them yellow. We're going again tweak, of course, as much as we want. So let's, let's have it right here. Let's see. Yeah, that sounds great. That looks great. Now let's export it. And what, what have we created exactly here? We have graded it completely black. A black pretty much video with audio. And again, captions for the sodium. So this is a caption file of a grading right here. Now let's export this and let's name it. For example. Video caption file format. It's mp4, right then AD. So everything's fine. Export and we wait for this print statements percentage to be completed. This is legitimately is the fastest way to grade it for free captions for our videos, trust me, I've done it in thousands of YouTube videos and it works every time, and it's absolutely amazing. So let's wait for this to export from Kafka. And this is pretty much how we are going to utilize God, God for our usage in you do video editing. So let's wait for this. Once this is done, we can just can completely close cab cat. We are 100% done. Okay, So this is done. We press Okay, we close this, okay, and we don't even want to save it. So what do we do now? If everything went correctly? We have a completely duplicated project, which is going to be black with just the captions. So let me grab it from the desktop that I exported it, drag and drop it into my Final Cut Pro editing software. And just like that, you can see I drag it up above the other tip that I have. So this is why it plays first, obviously. So check this out. Let's zoom in our timeline and watch the sound waves. Sound waves of this video and this video are completely on the same, let's say line. This means that if I press Space, we should listen to the same sound from both clips and the thought and the captions should be sync with the audio of the second clip. Let's say more than two. Well, great, So we don't listen to anything crazy. This means that there are sync, which means that if I disable the audio of the first clip, the audio of the second clips that we have should be sync with the captions. So let's press space here. As you can see, it's completely correct. But one thing you might noticed is that, well it is black. You might ask me, is black? I can see myself. How do we change this is very easy to change it. So we go to our Effects panel, and this is the first effect that we're gonna be using in this program because it affects panel and we search for luma. Here. You're going to search in this search bar of the effects luma year. This is the effect we're going to use to remove the black part that gives us shadows from the first group to reveal the clipper threats above without actually removing the captions. So let's drag and drop blue material to our first clip. Okay, and look at this. The block is removed, and now we have captions for videos. Let's close this panel and watch this. All of my courses. Marketplaces. How beautiful is that? We literally did this in, I don't know, five-minutes and the tutorial, you can do it very fastly by yourself. And if we go in, whichever is part of the video, for example, here, we have now added captions to our video. We didn't even add captions to the first 10 s are the first thirty-seconds. We have added captions across our whole video. So how beautiful is that? This was the first step in adding B-roll to our arrow. This again is our aryl which is edited. And now we're going to be start, we're going to start to add B-roll. So this was the first lesson on B-roll and I'm very happy. I hope that you actually managed to understand what we did here and do it yourself. Cabinet, the cabinet is a very important program. So now that we have added captions, it is time to discuss on how to download stuff from the web, download music, sound effects, and how to combine them in our video. So this is what's happening in the next lessons. And I'm going to see you there. 11. Introduction to Titles and Generators: So before we dive into how to download footage, motion graphics sounds, music from the web, I want to get completely done with this program and I want you to know how to source every B-roll aspect that you can from this program right here. And it is very important for you to know actually how to add titles and the so-called generators in our video, titles. And generators again, are under a category of B-roll acids that are called motion graphics. And motion graphics are of key importance. Obviously, we will be downloading tiles, we will be downloading generators and shapes from the web. But I want you to know how to do this from Final Cut Pro. It is a very important and of course part of this course. So obviously, we know how to add captions, those backyard captions, right? But what if we wanted to actually add titles? A title is different from a caption because a tile can be manipulated in a completely different way and you can pretty much, I didn't write whatever we want in that dial, right? So let's see how we can add titles and what's the difference between, for example, adding a title on top over video or besides the video. So let's go ahead and actually analyzing this lesson right here, how to add titles and generators to our videos. So first of all, where do we source title generators? We sort them by pressing this button to open up the media panel, navigating into this third button right here, which is titles and generators panel. And obviously, once we press stylus and search here, we are looking for titles. Once we press generators and search here we're looking for generators. So let's start with titles. Now. Once we press right here, you can see that all of those titles appeared. And we're talking about three basic titles. 3d cost them three titles really. Atmosphere, bond, feign, boogie lights, chapter, all of those different titles. Final Cut Pro has millions of different titles, but I'm going to save you some time here. The only title that we're gonna be sourcing is called basic, right? And it's pretty much the basic title search basic asic, such basic in the search bar. And this is the title that we want to import. So press this, would click on it and drag and drop it on top of our clips. Okay, so sort this out. Now, if we press this tile right here, obviously we are called tweak it. And how do we tweak it, which we get from the inspector manager enclose the media pound because we have sourced our title and open our inspector menu. Like as you can see right here, this is the inspector menu with for completely new subcategories. But because we're talking about a title, we're talking about a video entitled to have different subcategories in the spectrum menu. As you can see, for example, this pretty much does nothing. But right here, we can change the text of the title. So how do we change the text of a title? We click on the title, go to the Inspector menu on the text subcategory and write for example, lambs, which is my nickname online right now we can do weak. We can tweak what we wrote our texts from here. Gates or change the size, change the tracking, change the spacing, all of that stuff could change pretty much all of that stuff. And especially the face. We can also change the phase, change the color of the title to make it yellow, for example, make it red and blue. So all of that we can change and we can blur it out. All of those parameters can be tweaked from here. If you blur, for example, the title, we can outline it. And if we press show right here, we can change the outline color to black. For example, this is a very common thing, but one of my favorite things to do, for example, the title is to add drop shadow. We enabled drops out from here and we press show. I like to add a black drop shadow just as it has right here. Okay, blurry changed somewhat the distance and the opacity to the max. So this is pretty much how I like to add my titles. That we can change the different fonts from here, right? Right here. When we add the basic data, we have the Helvetica font, but we can change it from regular oblique light, light oblique, bold, bold, oblique bold in general is going to be like a good font for YouTube videos and other great fun of mine that I absolutely love is called impact. Than the impact bond is very, very useful and very common amongst YouTubers when we discuss about how to download fonts. Because for example, the impact bond I have downloaded from the web, it is not building in Final Cut Pro. And we can change the size from here. Now wants to remember this. How did we also change the size in our videos, right? There are two ways to change the signs of a video, if you can recall. Right? So the first one is from here and where is the second way it is from here? If you remember this button right here, let me open the media panel. It was located right here, right? So we press this button right here. Look at this. Now we can tweak the title as a clip. Where else can we do this from here, from the third button and the inspector menu. So now we can change the size again, we can trope, crop and distort our title just as we do on eclipse. So we can further increase the size of the title this way, okay, When also crop it, okay, crop a title. So this can also be done from here. Okay, With our hands. So for example, we can drag to increase it from here or we can, for example, distort our tidal to however we want. So this is pretty much how we manipulate titles. And it is very, very important to know how to do this stuff because we very, very frequently add titles or videos. Let's say we want, for example, to add a watermark. Right? At a watermark, make it smaller. You add your watermark right here, so nobody steals your clips, for example. This is a fast way to add titles. Now, let's see what Let's talk about the length of the title, right? So the title is going to play if I press planar time other mute this play in my timeline, you can see that the title is there in the title is going to stop being there once. This, which represents a double end, right? So now that obviously is not there. Now, how are we going to make this style of bigger? Two ways. The first one is the extended. Like this. We extended throughout our whole clip and as you can see the title now it's extended throughout our whole clip and it's going to be there. And the second way, it's pretty much not useful at this case right now. So let's just focus on the first way we extend the title. If you want the title to stay for the whole clip, or we dream our title down. And how do we dream titles down? Very simply, the same way we trim any other clip down repressive be to access the blade tool. Click Okay, from where we want to start cropping it, clip where we want to end again cropping it, then press a for the select tool, select the part we want to trim away and press Delete. So now for example, we have got this tile here, we got this title here, and this is how we manipulate titles. Now what if, for example, this was a question that I had back in the day. What if I want a black screen with just a title showing, right? So I don't want like title above my videos. I want just a title, just a basic title being seen in my videos. How do we do this? This is very simple. To do this, we only need to have a title bank, right? So this, for example, this right here, I copied and pasted this title. For example, let's have this title. We want it at the middle of our frame, playing without music, without nothing. Okay, how are we going to do this? We need only are titled to be right here on our timeline. So what I'm gonna do is that we're going to take this title again, for example, try to press it. You can see that we drag and drop the style between two over clips right here. And now look at this. This style became big because the style now captures spacing are a roll, another B-roll, right? And if we want to have nothing on top of this title, we can also press B to dream. Dream the text of our captions, and move this caption right here where it will continue to caption again, this clip right here. So now look what we got. We got a title playing all by itself. So again, if we have the title in a role next or clip with nothing on top of it. It will play alone. Okay, So right here, for example, the title plays alone. So press Space. Let's increase the sound of it. With an online course. You can see now this is a wave, for example, to add a dye. Let me just press Command Z because we don't need all that stuff right now for our edit. Okay, so this is ladies gentlemen, how we add tiles. It couldn't be more straightforward than this. Okay, Now let's discuss generative. Let me just delete the title because we're not going to need for now. We're just done. Now let's discuss actually generators. So let's press generators here. And you can see that again, all of those different generators, generators are pretty much already clipped and we can manipulate from our inspector menu, already sourced from Final Cut Pro, just like the titles, okay, there are many different generators and we're not going to be using 99.9% of generators, but that 1%, 0.1% is extremely important. Can you guess what generator it is? You won't get it because you don't know it, but it is the shapes generator. And this is how we add shapes in foreign Cut Pro if you want to do it intrinsically for our program. So we drag and drop the shapes generator. Again, this is our first Bureau motion graphic element that we are going to discuss how to manipulate, right? So we press on this generator. As you can see in the Inspector menu right here we are on the video part. So this is again when we change the scale of the crop of it. So let's try to actually change the elements of the generator itself. And how do we do this? We do this from this panel right here. From this panel you can change, for example, the size and the shape and what different shapes we can use as generators, you can source a square, a rectangle. But most importantly, the one that we're going to be sourcing most of all is the arrow. So this is pretty much how we add arrows in Final Cut Pro in a very fast way, if you will. This is just a fast way to add arrows. And let's just, as it were, as you can see, you can tweak the outline, make it just changed all the colors I usually go with a red arrow because it's eye-catching if I want to point something out in my video. So as you can see this, how we pretty much change it. We can do all sorts of stuff change like how fat it is or how long the arrow is, all that stuff. Now let's discuss about actually rotating the generator because of k, This is an arrow and we pretty much need to know how to manipulate the narrative, want to it for example, let's say right here I say I felt myself. So let's actually make the arrow pop-up as I say the word myself and point at me. Alright, so let's put this to practice. First of all, we're going to listen to what I say. Dollars spent on advertising, I thought to myself. So we're going to press space, balls it exactly where I start saying myself. So this is the positioning in which I start saying myself and we have the location. Okay, so what are we gonna do now? We're going to select, Okay, we're going to select the arrow and we are going to trim it down exactly where I have the pinpoint. So press here, select, press, Delete. So let's see if the arrow is going to be going to appear. When I say myself. I taught myself, great, it does not. Now, I paused again when I stopped saying the word myself. So right now let's just dream the arrow again. Delete the rest, and then we have right here, what do we do? We created an arrow that pops up when I say the word myself. So now let's make this error actually pointed me. We select this arrow, go right here. And from this point you can see this small blue ball right here. So we can just change this, and this is how we pretty much change the rotation of the arrow. So let's make the arrow actually rotate. For example, right here, change the position of the arrow, decrease the size a bit. This now we have an arrow that points exactly at me. If I want to make the arrow bigger, we can actually go here, distort and distort the arrow to make it, let's say longer. Now we'll press Done and let's see what I've graded. I felt myself so grateful. Now this is how we pretty much created a title generator just like this. Now it's actually drag and drop this because I want to see a new generator, which is the cycle generator, right? The circle generator. Let's actually drag and drop this above the arrow, and let's disable the arrow. Let me trim this exactly where we say myself because we know that this is the exact same location or a timeline with our arrow and we're going to select this. Then I'm going to show you how to add circles in universities. And this is very simple. We pretty much disable the fill, so we don't have field. And as you can see right here, we have a circle. From here we can tweak where we want to add circle or we can press this, for example, transform and change how big we want the circle to be. And let's say that I want the circle myself. So now we're going to distort and I can actually change the parameters to fit exactly. Let's say my face. So let's say here, we can also change other aspects. As you can see, we press Done and now look at this. I felt myself. So now we've created just this circle. Okay? So this is a pretty very, very, very, very basic introduction on how to add titles and generators, the two most basic motion graphics for our B-roll aspect of pharmacotherapy. And delete this because we're not going to need for now. And this concludes everything that we can add from this program, everything that we can add from Final Cut Pro. But now the real fun begins when we start downloading and sourcing stuff from the web to add to our workflow and add to our timeline as B-roll graphics. So this is what we are going to be introducing you, what I'm going to be introducing you in the next lessons. In the next lesson we're gonna discussing about how to download stuff from the web and add them into our final Cut Pro timeline as B-roll elements. So I'm going to see you there. 12. Downloading Stock Footage: Ladies gentlemen, welcome to this lesson which we're gonna be discussing how to download videos and sores, videos from the web to use as B-roll in our videos, this is extremely important because of course we can source Bureau, as we said from Final Cut Pro beacons or styles generators, we can create a lot of stuff, but the true fun begins when we start downloading assets from the Internet to use as B-roll for our videos. This is also extremely important because sometimes you might not shoot a video with your camera, but you want to use it in your project because you know that it suits this occasion. This is how we source it from the web. Now, a small parenthesis here. There are many sites and many destinations. Dogs will download barrel in the load videos to use for our projects. Now, if we're going to go for a free route, okay, for a free and a budget version, we're going to be downloading videos from YouTube. Now, if you're using Final Cut Pro to edit commercials for big companies, you might want to license those videos. That means that if you're using them just uploaded on YouTube, because okay, this is a YouTube video editing course, then you're absolutely fine by using footage from other YouTube videos. Okay, If you're creating videos though for big commercials in companies, you might want to license your footage from stock footage websites. But in this tutorial, I'm gonna show you how to do this and how to download assets from YouTube. So let's go right here. We have our project, right? And as we said, we have added, we have added captions, we have edited the arrow, and now it's time to choose which videos we're going to be downloading for the web to add as B-roll. So the first thing we do is we bring our cursor right here and we actually listen to our video to brainstorm which videos we should add as bureau. So let's go ahead and listen to it. More than 12 courses and having more than 10,000 enrolled students across all my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that. So right now I said, for example, after creating 12 courses and having more than 10,000 enrolled students. So now, after reading this, okay, I'm trying to think of a video that would suit to play as B-roll right here. When I said 10,000 enrolled students, the first thing that comes in mind is footage of planet Earth perhaps being connected with lines, which pretty much indicates that I connect with my courses, 10,000 different students. So I think that this is definitely a video that we are going to be downloaded, downloading. Okay, Let's continue listening to it. Thousand enrolled students across all of my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that I have uploaded with zeros dollars spent on advertising a protein for you when you mentioned the word dollar is very easy actually to find stock footage or perhaps a person counting money online. So it is very easy to actually download and source the video for a person counting dollars and also advertising. Okay, so let's start actually by trying to download a video of, for example, the planet Earth being connected by lines and a video that indicates dollars being counted or perhaps advertising. So what do we do? Okay, so check this out. We bring out YouTube and we search on the search bar. For example, let's say global network stock footage. Okay, remember, we typed type the keyword. And then besides this stock footage, stock footage in videography and video editing has been used as B-roll, which we can use in our edits. So look at this. This is pretty much what I'm looking for. Let's see it. Yep, Exactly. It's the lines connecting many areas of the world. This is exactly what I was referring to. So we click on the video. And the first thing we do is that we see the quality of it. So we have it in the Navy. That's absolutely amazing. Okay, we will also consider description if it is copyrighted or not. You can see if this video is not copyrighted it, which means that we have absolutely all the rights to use it. Now you can see we have the Suggested Videos, many other similar stock footage, okay, so you have many choices to choose from. And once we find the video that we want to source, what do we do? Go ahead and copy the link. So Command C to copy. And then a new tab with IPE YouTube to mp4. Okay, remember, MP3 files that come with audio. Audio files and MP4 are actually video files. So at this point, we have many choices to go with. Those are all the website that we're going to use. I don't know if the first website that we choose is going to be legit. But for example, this is one converter that I found online pretty much. If you try two or three websites, we're gonna do this. Let's go, let's go and paste. Okay, the link that we have copied from here to our YouTube them before converter and we check format mp4. Start. Again. This is our video. We can download it in 720 three-sixths. Obviously, this is just HD. It's not full HD, but it's fine. Let's go ahead and click Download. As you can see, it is downloading or can we go, going to go ahead and drag and drop this to our desktop. Okay, So I just drag and drop this to my desktop. So now we have this website that we know that actually we can actually download videos from here. So the next video we're going to be downloading, as we said, is someone counting cash. Okay, So let's say, Gosh, counting four So cash counting, MP4 or let's say gas counting, for example, stock footage, that's better. Stock footage of a person counting cash. I think this is absolutely amazing. We got our ad obviously here. And let's just check the description here. Okay, we got a lot of keywords, and this is a free video to download. So that's absolutely amazing. What are we gonna do now? We're going to copy this, but makes sure also, if not before your video, not copy the link of the ad because it's going to just burn the whole program out. Okay, this is also great for just more money. So I'm going to copy the link from here and paste it right here based and converted. So as you can see, we have this video right here, we downloaded in 720. People close the redirect tab and this is right here. Drag and drop it into our desktop. Okay, Let's see what else do we got? Let's see. I also mentioned the word ads. So let's actually go ahead and write some, some, some online ad, for example, stock footage. Let's see what we got. We don't have a lot of different Socrates found this could work. This could work also makes sure do not download like huge videos because this is, for example, 6 min, okay, 7 min. We don't need 7 min of footage to do that. Let's see for K scrolling on social media free stock video. That's good. Sorry about video that's unloaded. So Paul's click on the link, copy. Paste it here. Great. Start. This is the video we downloaded 720 P. We close their direct AB. And this is a downloaded drag and drop it into our desktop and were great. In a similar fashion. We're gonna be doing this in the whole video that we're going to add B-roll. So we're watching for keywords that we mentioned. Once we mentioned housekeepers givers, go ahead and download the videos from YouTube. You get the bunny. Don't have to do it for the whole video. But this is pretty much the fashion that we are going to be working with. So let's actually pressing in. Reading more than 12, isn't having more than 10,000 enrolled students across all of my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that So great, great, great, great. Let's go ahead and actually now drag and drop the foot itself be downloaded to our timeline to reveal and start editing. The first footage we're going to drag and drop is the 10,000 enrolled students video downloaded with the glow being connected with different lines. So what are we gonna do now? We press, drag and drop it into a timeline. This is how we import it, as we said, in a very simple manner. And now you can see that we added above the other clips that we have in our timing because we want it to be shown first. So I think this is actually a great part to start this video, and I want this video to start from here. What do I do? I either have the Blade tool, so either press B and blade down or either grab it from here and move it to this part. Where do I want this video to be? To start playing? I want this to be the start playing when I mentioned the word 10,000 enrolled students. So I'm going to press play. And when I'm starting to say the word, then I'm going to press pause. And exactly in the location in which this pin has stopped, I'm going to drag and drop this video right here. So let's go ahead and do that. Of course isn't having more than ten. Okay, Let's see, one more time courses and having more than, so right now, I was about to say 10,000. So I paused it. Drag this video right here. And let's actually see it one more time. Wealth courses and having more than 10,000 enrolled students across all of my courses. All the different online course marketplaces that great. Let's see One more time, more than 12 courses and having more than 10,000 enrolled students. I think this is better than thousand enrolled students. And as I'm saying, 10,000 rolls students, this video plays and then this beetle is done. So let's see one more time from the beginning, started reading more than 12 courses and having more than 10,000 enrolled students across all of my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that I think this is actually amazing. Let's continue watching the video to add are the other bill that we have downloaded, uploaded $0 spent on. So with $0, when I say $0, I'm actually going to play the video of downloader with the person, you know, counting dollars. So let's go here and pause again before I start saying $0 marketplaces that I have uploaded. Right here, I say zeros, so I drag and drop the footage from my desktop downloaded right here. Okay. And let's see it one more time. Places that I have uploaded with $0 spent on, spend on this is where I finished this clip and immediately I'm going to start the other clip, which was about advertising this video scrolling through social media. So I'm doing this. Let's see, I think this is great. Let's start this video from kilo to do it with a blade tool right now. So blade click a to select click, Delete. Let's put it right here and check this out. We're going to say $0 spent on advertising. And I know that advertising stops right here because this is where my next clip starts with, which I open a new paragraph. So what I'm gonna do without even listening to the video, I'm going to have the Blade tool right here. Okay, I'm gonna play this clip just when this clip of me talking. And I'm going to delete this. So right now, let's watch what we graded marketplaces that I have uploaded with $0 spent on advertising Myself. How cool is that? How cool is that? So let's walk through that beginning. Actually, the video elements that we have downloaded started reading more than 12 courses and having more than 10,000 enrolled students across all of my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that I have uploaded with $0 spent on $0, I felt like it started after, after I said width. Okay, so let me zoom in the timeline. And I felt that because I have experienced in video editing, but check this out. $0, this video right here. Let's say that the $0 stock video didn't start when I started mentioning this paragraph. So what I'm gonna do now, I've zoomed in my timeline, I'm going to grab this. And as you can see, this is where the video actually begins. Hi, I'm going to extend this. I'm going to bring this right here, okay. When I start talking and I'm going to extend the end of it right here. This is a prototype, okay, with it. You don't have to do this. It's, it's, it's too much, but I think it works perfectly. So let's actually go ahead and watch this again. Online course marketplaces that I have uploaded with $0 spent on advertising. I thought to myself, is it really possible to create them? So how good was that? We could keep on downloading more and more videos. But I think that I don't want to waste your time at this point, but this is let me just mention let me watch the video. Mentioned some other videos that I would download to add as B-roll itself possible to create an online course out of scratch with $0. So we completely no budget. For example, right here I said completely no budget, right? I would just download a stock footage of someone like opening their wallet and seeing that they have no money. Well, let's actually do that. Let's actually do that. Look how easy it is. Let's say empty wallet. Okay. Empty wallet, stock footage. Empty wallet stock footage. You can see how this video, okay, We got this video, this video, this video. Let's find a video that it's actually of quality. This is royalty free, okay? Okay, okay. The introduction is too much. Okay. So how about, how about this one? How about this one? 15 s, that was the video. So I'm not going to download this video read because it says preview here. And we don't want to have a watermark in the middle of our video. Let's say this one. This is not about video. The quality is pretty bad though. So definitely not. Say anything else. That's right. This video right here. Now again, we have a watermark. So pretty much this is like experience makes you choose videos that you don't have. For example, watermarks, right? Because we don't want to be using videos with watermarks in our YouTube edit. Let's see this one. This could work, for example, this could work. The quality is not that good though. You probably get the point though. So this is a live like how I would go through this process if I was editing this myself. Again, watermark. This is why people, this why stock footage websites exists to don't have watermarks and make your life easier. But if you're going to want to go with the free version, this is pretty much a hassle. You gotta go. So you get the point. I'm not gonna waste your time more with this. You get the point and just download videos from the utility. Find that fit pretty much the editor we're doing. This turns gentlemen is again how we added videos, have it downloaded and sourced videos from the web to add to our projects in Final Cut Pro off keep this extremely important of key importance because B-roll and stock footage from the web helps our audience visualize what we're talking about and actually helps with our engagement. Now we're gonna be discussing how downloading source music from the web and sound effect from the web and how to combine them actually with our stock footage. So this is what's happening in the next lesson. Thank you very much and I'm gonna see you there. 13. Downloading Music and Sound Effects: Welcome everybody to the eighth lesson of this course and arguably the most important lesson when it comes to optimizing and taking your video editing for YouTube into literally the next level. Why is this lesson so absolutely important? So we discussed the importance of B-roll, adding generators, dials, downloading videos from the web, and actually adding them into our project. But in this lesson right here, we're gonna be discussing and actually implementing the tactic of downloading music and sound effects more importantly from the web, then actually combining them with our footed in Final Cut Pro. Now, as we know, music sets the tone for our video, it is of extreme importance to choose the correct audio track to match the feeling that we're trying to deliver with the video that we are editing. And sound effects, especially when we're editing YouTube videos, are also of extreme importance. In this video, we're going to give you, I'm gonna give you an example on how to utilize sound effects to optimize viewer engagement. And again, make your videos just look and most importantly, sound better. So enough of this introduction, let's launch our editing program, and this is exactly where we left things in the previous lesson, we added those videos right here. Very simple. We discussed how to download them, how to source them from the web, and how to combine them with the captions that have added in previous lessons. Now, it is time to choose the music, the audit track, and I'm going to go through the process of how I brainstorm which music they use for my video together live. So let's actually go ahead and listen to what I'm saying again, in this video, there's a lot of playback obviously going on to try to brainstorm which audio track we are going to use. So let's go and actually listen to the music to the video. More than 12 courses and having more than 10,000 enrolled students across all of my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that I uploaded. $0 spent on advertising. Okay, So pretty much I am describing a process. This video is like a story video in which I am describing a process we don't wanna want, like action music or emotional music. What we want is, let's say focused music or what I'm thinking more is to use like this old school techno music. I think that it's going to match the vibe will try to deliver with this video. So let's go ahead and actually again launch YouTube. And let's write, for example, it's tried to search for focused music. Okay, So let's go. Focused music, electronic. Okay, Let's see. So this is mostly sound starting music and we don't want, you don't download a three-hour MP3 file, 1 h, 1 h, 1 h 3 h. So it's going to actually filter under 4 min. Those are all live streams. So focused music is not just not going to make it. Well, let's actually change what we're searching for. And let's write, for example, '80s deck, no music. I think this is going to better fit my video. So let's go under 4 min, right? Um, that's, that's, that's, that's a great drug. For example, this, the vibrance won't give some old schools old-school vibes, okay, and we've got more of those, Let's say Maverick, let's try this. My ammonites want 90, 84. I think I've listened to before. I wasn't going to listen to the track right now. See if it's I absolutely love this track. And I think that it's going to fit perfectly into our videos. When you see me smile, you know that it's gonna be a great feeling about this. And I hope that you read, say, level and your video editing journey in which you literally smile when you feel you've got a good feeling about this. So let's us right now, YouTube to this time, not mp4 but MP3, because we're trying to download the audio files and audio files are downloaded via MP3. Let's check the websites. We don't have to nail it in the first strike paste the link, converted first before we unload it and download it, perhaps close the pop-up. The file is downloaded right here next to the other journals that we had. And we're actually go ahead and drag and drop directly the file from our browser into our font color editing software. And what's this? When I'm dropping it? I'm not going to draw it up here, ladies gentlemen, because this is where we have our B-roll and integral. We are going to drop it below. We're going to drop it down here because this is pretty much the line that separates audio from video. So we want are pretty much audio track to be behind our videos, below our videos. So now we got this and the thing is that Our audit tract is represented through sound waves. This is just a huge sound wave. We don t have image as we have here, just a sound wave. So we can imagine pretty much you see this disordered data downloaded, for example, starts pretty subtle and then the beat starts and it gets like this more Tambo vibe. So let's blindly, without even tweaking the audit tract. Joe Duck, press Play from beginning to actually listen to how it sounds as is without decreasing the sound without nothing. Let's see what we're working with. More than two forces in all the different places. Loaded myself. So what I really, really like how this audit track starts, I really liked that it's subtle and then the big drops and we know that the beat starts right here. So I'm going to give you a huge, huge dip right here. I paused. I pause the video in which I say Surprisingly, yes. And why did I do this? Because when I say Surprisingly, yes, this is where another chapter on my video starts, and it's the shutter in my video in which I actually explain how the grid a course with $0, because it is a new chapter of my video and a new chapter, let's say in the story that I'm guiding my audience, I want this to also be new chatter in the audio track that I'm using. So what's the best way to actually start a new chapter with the other track. To combine this, let me zoom that timeline a bit to actually start, okay, to have the audio track drop. And we know that the drop is here. We know that the job is here because I can see it in the sound wave. You can see that here the drums come in, whereas here it's more subtle. So we want our music to reach its peak when this new chapter begins, how are we going to do this? You might ask, because we can actually drop it. We can drag the clip, so this comes here. But what we can do is we can actually trim the audio, trim it down to as much as we want, and then grab this and synchronize it with this pain. So this is again the part in which the drop of the song is going to happen. So I'm going to click on my song and I'm going to drag this to synchronize the drop of my sound wave of my music with the part in which I say Surprisingly yes. And you might ask me now, so what's going to happen here? We're not going to have any music. Of course we'll have music. Let's just grab this and open the file again to reveal music. But now of course, we don't know how it's gonna sound at the beginning. So let's zoom in and listen to this. Once again, of course, a lot of playback is going to happen when we are editing videos to precision. So let's go salted, meaning more than two. Well, I think it started pretty well. Actually. I have no problem with how the video, the audio starts right? Started meeting more than 12 courses and having thousands of students across all my courses in all the different marketplaces. But I, myself. So cool. There's absolutely happened. But we have, we're facing an issue right now. And the issue that we're facing is that the audio and the music track that we have actually added is do them loud. So how are we gonna fix this? Two ways to fix it, two ways to decrease the audio of a music track. As a rule of thumb, I've edited again many videos, so I know that we want our music track to be at -20 db. Okay, So usually we have it right here. Let's listen to the video again. Not all the video, but to check how -20 db sound started reading more than 12 courses and having, trust me, it is enough. Let's go where the beat drops. Yes. And I think this is the best way to do so. So how did the Greeks, the heart decrease the volume of Eclipse? We then go here and we either increase it or decrease it. So it's hard to -20 right here. The other way to do so is to actually click, click on audio tracks, go to the Inspector menu right here. And as you can see, we can also tweak the volume from here with more precision or we can just write -20 Enter and now it's on -20 db. So this has been lost. What do we do with Audit track? Okay, and let's actually zoom out and check this. So this is a great thing to check. For example, you can set the audio track is bigger than my video. How are we going to fix this? The first way is degrees, the audio Okay to here. And now for example, when the video and the audio ends, but this is something that we're gonna do in next lessons are not going to waste your time right now with focusing at the end of the video. Let's focus at the beginning of the video. Okay, so the next thing that we'll discuss about how to add another track is we really need to focus on how to add sound effects, because music is here. We added music with tweak the volume. We've combined it with the different chapters of our video. Now it's time to move into sound effects. You might ask me, what sound effects should we add right here. I mean, I don't see any particular reason to add sound effects. What sound effects should we add like a doorbell sound effect, they, dogs and effect. And there's one sound effect that as a YouTube video editor, you absolutely need to know about. And this is gonna sound weird, but it is going to be the bubble sound effect. Okay, We call this bubble sound effects. So it goes like, I don't know if I did it correctly, but this bubble sound effect is extremely important when elements are popping, especially photographs. When photographs are popping in the video, we usually use the sound effect and sometimes we also use it for titles and captions. So let's actually go ahead and download this bop sound effect. Okay, It's, it's extremely important, pretty much downloaded and habit in your laptop. So let's see, bulb sound effect, bob sound effect. We've gotten many of them. Okay, This 1 s, Let's go ahead and hear it. Listen to it. This is exactly the sound effect that I'm looking for. So we're gonna copy this, go to here, convert next, right, paste it, convert. Okay, great. Download. Clip, close the pop-up and this is the pop sound effect. I'm not going to use it. Okay? I'm not going to use it right here because I don't want to have a pop sound effect when a video pops. What I definitely wanted to have a pop sound effect when photographs bulb in my, in my timeframe. To give an example, Let's actually press Play and listen to where I can add a photograph or a picture to play. More than. So, I say after creating more than 12 courses, something very cool that we could do here, for example, and actually combine it with a pop sound effect, is to just add a big title that says 12 courses. So I don't want caps and I don't want image, just want a big die, let's say, says 12 courses. I'm gonna, gonna go here to titles, such basic, basic title, and I'm going to drag it. Okay, What I'm gonna do now is that I am going to detach the audio from here. So I detach the audio from my video. And the next thing we're gonna do is that we are going to press blade here to trim down my video because I want to replace my video with title. Okay, So what's this? Let's see, For how long is it 12 courses? More than 12 courses and reading more than 12. 12 courses and courses stops here. So I'm going to replace this with this. So let's see. 12 courses. Delete this. Delete this, and let's actually listen to it. More than 12 courses and having more. Do you see that? You see that? So we completely blacked this part out and I will have more than 12 courses. When I say 12 courses, you can see this tidal place. So let's go ahead and actually, first of all, disabled the captions. So we don't want this. We can either delete it or we can click on the caption and press V to disable it. And now we select the style and I'm going to write 12 courses. 12 courses. Let's change the font. The font that I like to use is usually impact. Okay, let's make this bigger right here. Okay? And the other thing that we do, for example, is to first have the word 12 and then the word Courses. Bob, how are we gonna do this? Watch? So I paused where I stopped saying the word 12th and I start saying the word courses. How do I know this? Well, first of all, you can see the sound wave right here. This is the part of it. I said 12, this department which I say courses. So right here, which is the middle of those two words. I can blade, okay, can I can trim this title into pieces. The first piece, I just want to write 12. So I'm just going to delete courses. Again here. I can delete 12th. So let's zoom out and our timeline and listen to this again, waiting more than 12 course. How cool is that? Now to combine with the pop sound effect, this is the bumps anaphase, you can see the sound. This is exactly the part in which the pulp happens. And we are trying to synchronize this with the beginning of our clip. Okay, So here for example, there is where the bulb needs. This mountain needs to happen. So we've got right here, I think it's the best. Now let's duplicate this. Bulb sound effect command copy, command, paste. We duplicated this pops out perfect. Bring our pin right here and synchronize the beginning of a mountain to here. So let's actually see what we've created now. Let's actually play, press play Started reading more than 12 courses. And how cool was that? Let's actually decrease a bit. This pops and effective. I think it was too loud. Now let's go ahead and listen to one more time. Started reading more than 12 courses and having more than 10,000 enrolled students across all of my courses in all the different online course marketplaces. That was, of course marketplaces that all of my courses in all the different, Now I say in all the different online course marketplaces. And this is a great time to demonstrate the different online course marketplace, to visualize different online course marketplaces. So I know different coordinate goes. Marketplaces are, for example, Skillshare. So I'm gonna write Skillshare logo right here. Go to images and I'm going to walk, I'm going to see for the Skillshare logo, preferably a PNG file. So that was just the right. Skills are looking, for example, icon. Let's see if this is a PNG file. A PNG files are pretty much transparent images that we can import the Final Cut Pro without having their background. With the background being completely transparent. So this right here, those squares indicate that the PNG file is transparent. Let me drag and drop this to my desktop. And the same thing I'm gonna do with Udemy with another online course marketplace. Again, pictures just to visualize to my viewers what I'm talking about. So this is not actually transplant and file. Let's see this. This is a great transparent file. Let me drag and drop this into my timeframe. So right now I say online course marketplaces. Let me drag and drop again, Udemy right here, and let me drag and drop Skillshare right here. So as you can see, complete chaos. We have the skewed skills here in the middle of my frames. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna click right here, and there are two ways to decrease the size of it. The first thing is through the spectra menu here would decrease the size of this image. Again, after we decrease the size, we can press this right here to change its position to here. And the same exact thing we can do with Udemy would click right here. We decrease the scale of it and we drag and drop it to where everyone in our frame. And as you can see now, let's press Done. Okay, so now we've got those two images that are going to play for as much as we need them to let see how much actually we want them to play. So let's actually go ahead and play the video again. Students across all of my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that. So when I say the word marketplaces, I need those two vectors to be done. So let me pause again when I stop saying the word marketplaces, online course marketplace is right here. So now we select this would have been the point in which I stopped saying marketplaces select this will make it smaller to here, same with Udemy. And what's this? This is a perfect, For example, let me just make the timeline bigger because we're actually going into depth now when it comes to editing. Now this one, I'm going to add another pop sound effect. So I don't want to be dragging and dropping pop sound effects every time that I use one, I'm just going to copy the previous one that I used. Paste it right here. And let me add the paint to wear skills on Udemy. Start playing those two images. And I'm going to add this pop sound effect. And if I want to do it with more precision, I can zoom in timeline and place it right here. Zoom out the timeline with minus. And let's see what we created. Let me just make this bigger. Of course is in all the different online course marketplaces. So ladies and gentlemen, this wraps up this lesson in which we discussed on how to download music and sound effects and how to combine them with the visual parts of our video, on our timelines. To make our videos promotes more engaging and better for our viewers to look at, which is of importance for us when we're editing videos for YouTube. Now in the next lesson we're going to focus in a very important aspect of Final Cut Pro editing, which pretty much opens our horizons into unlimited possibilities, which is downloading effect and transitions from the web on our Final Cut Pro editing software. And in the lesson after that, we're gonna be discussing on how to download different titles and different fonts. So enough talking. Let's move to the next lesson in which I discuss and actually help you download assets from the web into your fungal pro program. This is going to be of key importance and it's very important for you to know how to do that. I'm gonna see you in the next lesson. 14. Downloading Plugins and Supercharging FCPX: Ladies gentlemen, welcome to this installment of our course, which is arguably going to be the most valuable lesson that you're gonna get from this course. Why is gonna be the most valuable lessons you're going to get from this course. Because Final Cut Pro, as we discussed, as we demonstrated in the previous lessons, comes with some pre-installed titles, transitions affects all that stuff come pre-installed into our final copy editing software. But what if I told you that with utilizing the power of the Internet, so many people have created all of those motion graphics, you know, those templates. They have created transitions. They have graded effect, they have graded titles and generators which we can download from the web and utilize into our editing software, if you will. It's gonna be like having our fungal broadening software on steroids. Okay, it's going to boost our editing process hugely. And there are specific titles and specific transitions which can be used just specifically for YouTube videos and we can be downloaded from the web for YouTube videos. So again, when we discuss on how to install them into our fungal parenting software, this was something that I had traveled, for example, as a beginner. Then afterwards, how to apply them into our videos before I show you actually how to download transitions. Okay, let's solve a quick question that I, for example, had when I started editing out, you do videos, which is, where should I use transitions and effects on my videos? And more specifically, where should I use transitions on my videos to transition from what all of my videos just me talking in filmmaking and in videography. And I have a complete course on that. We use transitions to move from one scene to another. And cool transitions can be eye-catching and help us with the engagement of our audience. So here, for example, obviously we can transition anywhere on a roll because the URL is there and there's nothing to change the scene. What changes the scene though? It's B-roll, right? So this is B-roll. It is a completely different scene from our a role. How can I transition from my arrow to B-roll? First of all, let's analyze what is transition Transitional found right here, right? And in fact, as we said, are found right here. And there are many, many different transitions across this whole transition that I haven't unloaded. Light leak transitions, you know, all that stuff, 3D transitions, post-transition. How are we going to utilize them in our videos? So let's not waste our time and I'm going to actually show you right now. Let's say that I want to transition, for example, from this video, which is me talking to this video, which is this network that we added as B-roll, What are we going to do? I'm gonna have my press B on my keyboard and I'm going to pop up the blade tool. And in the Blade tool, I'm going to trim my a role in the exact dimensions of this clip right here. So using this clip as a guide, I'm going to click on the beginning of this clip to bring this pin right here. And just across this pin, I'm going to click in my arrow to trim down this video. Then I'm going to also click at the end of this video right here. And in this pin again, click with the blade tool on a roll, okay, then a to select, click, Delete. Sorry. Let's bring this back because now I also deleted the B-roll because you can see this line connects, can see the small line that connects this B-roll clip, this clip right here. Let's grab this clip, bring it right here, and then we delete the row. And as you can see, this is preserved now. Now everything's gonna be out of sync right now. Why? Because we deleted video without deleting its audio. So everything's gonna be out of sync. And this is exactly why we did delete the exact dimensions of this clip right here to bring this clip on a roll and now watch this. Let's see if everything is sink. So let's see before we trimmed down having more than that, this is sink. And after it's across all of my goals, this is sink. So now watch what we're going to do. Transitions are applied on, let's say, a roll bar, which is this bar of clips right here. So I moved B-roll to my a roll bar, as you can see, to apply transitions. And how do we apply those transitions will not drag and drop them. Now I'm going to drag and drop it. Very cool transition that I usually use. And this is the smooth zoom in transition. This right here is the transition. I'm going to show you how to download and look how smooth it looks. It looks very cinematic. So I'm going to grab this, drag and drop it between those two clips, right? Between this clip of me talking and between this and this clip off the network that we downloaded. So let's watch what we have created now. Well, course isn't having more than 10,000. Did you see that? It was very soluble, but it is a zooming transition right here, more than 10,000 enrolled students. Let's also add a transition right here. Let's try to add a, let's say, how about the way we zoom out transition? It's also very cool. Decrease its length of it. So that's what's now having more than 10,000 enrolled students across all of my courses. And how cool did that look? And on top of that, before we actually start downloading transitions, I want to show you something very, very cool. We can also add sound effects when we actually apply one of those transitions. And the sound effects look at this region again more than the sound effect that we're going to use. Just like we use the pop sound effect when a image Bob's in Garvey, the sound effect we're going to use when we apply a zoom in or zoom out transitions is called the whoosh sound effect. Ladies gentlemen, let's go to YouTube. Again. Search for loose sound effect. Okay, very, very common sound effect in filmmaking. Let's listen to it. Yes, ads. Let's listen to the sound effect. On what time. This wasn't the one that I was looking for, but okay. This is why we are here. No, no, no, no, no, no. How about, let's say, let's say loose transition. Sound effect. Okay. Sound effect again for edits. Let's listen to those. Yep, Those are the facts that we want. So let's click Copy. Okay, YouTube to mp3. Okay, open the program. Just as we did before, the exact same thing. We paste it right here, the paste the link. Okay. We download sound effect for edits. Let's download for example. This one. It should start R loading. Here it is. So now what are we gonna do? Once it is downloaded? We're going to drag and drop it into our timeline, like a drag and drop it right here before we do anything else. Okay, Let's wait a bit for it to import. It has important before we do anything else, check this out. We have a lot of whooshes right here, but we only need one. So we're going to zoom out in our diamond and bring this right here at the end. Okay, So we can inspect it and pretty much trimmed down to use only the transition that we want. So let's actually listened to some of those sound waves is actually perfect. So let me trim after and before it. A select, Delete, select delete. And we have just the part that we want to use, Command C to copy it. Okay, and let's go to the point of our transition which is right here. This is the transition between this clip and this clip. So now the middle we paste this and check this out. We've got this transition. Let's listen. Let's listen to see if the audio matches the video courses and having more. Did you hear that using that, let me let me increase the sound a bit. More than two courses and having more than thousand enrolls. And also copy this, paste it and we now have it on our zoom out part. Enrolled students across all of this, I think it's very, very cool, but in order for you to apply it to your edits, we need to be able to download those antigen because those are intentional. I use right now the smooth zoom in and smooth muscle are not downloaded into your Final Cut Pro editing software. So let's dive into how the Lord actually transitions from the web after this short demonstration, the first thing we're gonna do is it's going to open a new tab and search for ryan angle. Selfie, Final Cut Pro transitions. And I'm going to have this link below them. Don't worry about it. You don't have to type all that stuff. Okay. Ryan angle is a very established individual in the space of fungi, grow, a very well-known editor. And he has created this store, this online store in which you can pretty much go ahead and purchase some of these transitions, some of these effects, okay? And this is the part in which we either pay or download some for free. You can see this, for example, costs nine bucks, 18 bucks, and this is for free. So it has many things listed for completely free, for example. Now, you can see from here you can navigate through by online course of his Lightroom fact that Pro titles, sound effects, effects transition lots of Go, for example, in sound effects. And this is an easy way. For example, glitch sound effects you bond or transition sound effects. What exactly we did from YouTube. You can pay 18 bucks to do it from this man's online store. Of course, those are gonna be, gonna be higher-quality and way more effects. So let's go now to Final Cut Pro transitions. This is where we are going to navigate. And as you can see, those are all the different transitions. Box eight, inbox and inbox 30 bucks. At inbox 30 bucks. What's this bill? As we go ahead and scroll down, you can see we're going to find some free. We got Free, Free, Free, Free. I have downloaded all of them. And download them. You can actually click here, okay, you can take press continue for free and you're pretty much okay. Once you purchase this and again it's completely for free, you're going to have a link on your scent, on your email inbox. Okay, with the files. So I'm going to cut through this and I'm going to show you what to do with those files and how to import them actually in your Final Cut Pro editing software. So ladies gentlemen, here we are, and this is the zip file which I have downloaded. Again, my order is confirmed that I have downloaded this. So let's actually press and open this zip file. And as you can see, what we're going to have is This file right here, let me close that browser real fast. Okay, so once we have this travel transition back, okay, this is the only thing you need to have as a folder. So how do we actually install this into our final Cut Pro editing software? The first thing that we need to do is actually close Final Cut Pro. So it's actually go ahead and close this program. Okay, the next thing that we're gonna go to home, go home. And actually other thing we're gonna do is I'm gonna go to our downloads and grab this travel transition back and drag and drop it into our desktop. I think the best way to do so. So after we drag and drop this into our desktop, we go, Go home. And after that, we're going to see we have all of those files right here. So we're going to access the internals of Final Cut Pro to actually install those into our final editing software so ago and then two movies. Okay, and as you can see, in motion templates, in motion templates. So again, let me do this one more time for you. Go home. Movies, motion templates and in motion templates, ladies and gentlemen, you will see those folders right here. Transitions, Titles, Generators, effects. If you don't see those folders in your Final Cut Pro editing software, once you press motion templates, I want to create those folders. I wanted to create a folder named transition, a folder named Titles, Generators, and effects. And you can guess what is the next step? The next step is that in each folder, depending on what we download from the web, okay, we drag and drop the file with everything we have not loaded in each folder. For example, right now we downloaded the travel transition pack, okay, and I see I have already dragged and dropped it right here. Again, drag and drop the file that we just downloaded into one of those folders. If you downloaded it, transition like we did in this tutorial, dragged and dropped it in the transition folder. If you download the title and the title folder, that generator in the generator folder, effects in the effects folder. And this is essentially how we download assets from the web. But let me show you some of the conditions that I have downloaded because it's extremely cool, have many, many transitions and you can find also other places to download transition drain angle isn't obviously the only online destination, but it's the one with free, very high-quality transitions that I choose. So what some other transitions that I have, okay, I got this wavy zoom out transition, which looks absolutely amazing. The spin transition right here. The way we slide transition, the role world that transition smooth zoom into adjusting. I obviously use very, very frequently. This is the TV glitch, zoom in Flickr, which as you can see, delta has this glitter effect with looks absolutely amazing. And of course, what some of my favorite, the light leaks transition, which pretty much the transition with light leaks. And these look absolutely gorgeous if you asked me. So this is a very easy way again to download and source transitions from the web into our projects. And also I want you to know that sky's the limit in when it comes to how usefully and how frequently we're gonna be using those transitions. So let's watch one more time. Okay, let's, let's watch one more time. What do we have created and how we combined the visual elements of a downloaded transition from the web with sound effect to create this awesome project, Let's go more time. Started reading more than 12 courses in having more than 10,000 enrolled students have lost all of my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that this looks actually very, very decent. I'm very proud of what we've done here. And I think that you've learned a lot in this lesson right here. Now, in the next lesson we are going through together my hope, my hope. Now in the next lesson we are going through my thought process on how I would edit this unreal diamond. What else would I add? Okay, What other titles I add? Whether transitions would I add, two other effects would I add? And in general, because now we know how to add all that stuff and where everything is located. In fact that bro, how to download stuff from the web. Now we're gonna go through my thought process on what I think fits together. What does it fit together? The music, the sound effects, how to combine everything together to make this video as optimal and as beautiful as possible. So the next lesson is going to be of utmost importance again, for you to understand what goes behind the thought process of a YouTube video editor. So thank you very much for sticking up until the end of this lesson, I'm going to see you in the next one. 15. Edit the Video with me: Ladies gentlemen, welcome again to this tenth lesson of this course. And during those first nine lessons, we discussed about pretty much everything that you need to know when it comes to editing videos again, and I didn't get you VDS in Final Cut Pro. I don't have to go through everything that we've analyzed up until this point. But I think the time a very great understanding on how to use this program. The one thing that you're missing 100% right now is experience. So I decided in this tenth lesson of this course to actually go through the thought process that I am going through when I'm editing a YouTube video and I'm going to be thinking out loud so you can still some of my experience this lesson here gonna be of key importance because again, you need to have a creative idea. You need to develop a creative, I integrative sense on how to deliver the perfect YouTube video. So let's launch right now our YouTube, Our Final Cut Pro editing software. And let's go through my thought process. For example, as if I was editing this video for YouTube. So again, the first thing that we're gonna do once we have opened our timeline right here, is to go ahead and actually watch our video. So let's go ahead and play actually what we have added up until this point, started reading more than 12 courses and having more than thousand enrolled students and lost all my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that I loaded with $0 spent on advertising. So the first thing right now, as I'm watching this video that I thought that we could change it. For example, this small balls that I have right here when I say with $0 spent on advertising, you can see in the audio we have a small balls. Let me fix that right here. Right now you can see that we made the clip slower. Again. We trim this clip down a bit so we can pretty much see if now it runs a bit smoother. Of course, marketplaces that I have uploaded with $0 spent on advertising. I thought to myself, is it really possible to create an online course out of scratch with $0? So we'll complete no budget to start generating money on a monthly basis. Let's see this one more time. Let's, let's see this one with lemons playback this part one more time because we haven't added B-roll here. So let's play it back with part one more time to see what we can add advertising. I told myself, is it possible to create an online goes out of scratch with $0? So right now for example, I say, I felt myself. Is it really possible to create an online course out of scratch with $0, right? So for example, we could add a B-roll. I'm thinking right now here, someone using his camera to execute on the part ways I say, to create an online course. So let's see again one more time. Online course out of scratch with $0. So this is the first thing we're gonna do. We're gonna download B-roll of someone's shooting with his camera. That's the first one. So okay. Except let's see. Person shooting. No person talking to a camera. Okay. Stock footage. Let's say we got this. I think it's perfect. Let's see, we've got a watermark here. I feel like we don't have watermarks. I didn't say what am I going to thumbnails? Let's go ahead and actually check this out. Absolutely amazing. So this is exactly what we're looking for actual, let's copy this link. Let's go here. Youtube to mp4 based in great. Let's, I think this was the previous one we used. Yes, that's based this year. And before start. Great. Download, 720 P, click their direct link and it should be started on it here. Great. Drag and drop it into our desktop and from our desktop right here. So let's actually trim this down to fit the part in which I say this possible graded online course. Let's go. I'm going to start this bureau when I start saying to create an online course. So let's, I just bought them before I start saying create an online course. So let me just drag and drop this right here and goes. Great, blade tool. When I stop saying the word course, click a to select, select, Delete. Now as you can see, we're facing a small problem. And the problem we're facing, if you make this display area bigger is when I have this part playing. You can see that below our clip. Okay, we have those barriers. And those barriers are this clip pretty much right here because this video is downloaded, is not full HD, so it captures a smaller space in our display layers we're going to do, we're going to press here and scale it a bit to here. Perfect. Goes out of scratch. And how about we actually implement the same thing that we did in this global B-roll footage right here, which is pretty much to add it to this part and have its transition from me talking to this video right here. So how do we do this? We press this ok, Right-click detach audio. And after we've detached the order, we press B to access the blade tool. From the blade tool, we click on the beginning of the B-roll and with trim our arrow to the exact dimensions of our B-roll. Once we do this, we press a We take the Bureau out of here because we don't want it to be attached. As you can see to our ALL put, let's say right here, select, delete this. And now that we have deleted the exact clip with the exact length of our B-roll. Go ahead, drag and drop our B-roll right here. And whatever happens, you see that we have detached or audio. So whatever happens in the visual part of the video, the audio stays the same. And now let's actually see it makes sure that everything is fine. And online course out of scratch. Yes, it is. Everything is sink as you can see. So now let's go to our transitions, right? And let's add, for example, a lightly transition right here. Let's see how that looks. For example, an online course out of scratch. This looks absolutely amazing. And I think that perhaps let's see some other transitions that I have downloaded, traveled resident back the spin. We've got the way we slide, the way we zoom out, the real-world up and the smooth zoom in. So let's try to smooth zoom in for example here. And it's going to change the length because, okay, let's just delete this. Okay, let's see actually how this transition looks. Perhaps we don't even use a smooth zooming. Let's see, Let's play back things. To create an online course. No. Because let me let me let me pause two steps behind to explain to you what happened here. Okay. So as you can see right here, as you can see, when I press, when I press and try to make this clip, because you can see that we have this red line right here. And this red line indicates that the clip has nothing has to give us below. And before this point, this means that this is the start of the clip, right? When we have the start of the clip, usually where we tried to add a transition here, okay, Final Cut Pro and let us add a transition. If we insist and drop the transition follicle, parents going to ask us if there is not enough extra media beyond the clip edges to create transition. And if you press create that transition, everything is going to go out of sync. So as a rule of thumb in general, makes sure to actually have trimmed your clips down before adding transitions. And if you don't trim your clips down, you need to know that found that row. We'll trim the clip, we'll click trim the clips down for you. So keep in mind that some things may go out of sync when you do so. So when you got this message right here, okay, Again, let me show you this message again. When you get this message, makes sure to either press Cancel or if you press Create Transition, know that your video is gonna be a bit out of sync and you need to fine-tune, okay, when you apply this transition. For now, we don't want to mess with this, okay, so we only have the light leak transition at the closing of this bill. So let's see what we have added right now. Create an online course out of scratch with $0, so with no budget. So for example, right here I say zero, I say $0. And I really need to emphasize the point that we have $0. So we've got two options here. The first option is to completely replace me talking with, for example, a title that says $0 or actually add as a tile right here the word $0. And I'm thinking to do the second one actually adding it as a word. So the first thing we're gonna do is when I start saying $0, I'm going to pause, okay, and then I'm going to add titles from my title panel. So let's see how that goes. Scratch zero. That's going down. Once more on sparse grass with $0, I'm about to say 08 years of good titles, basic, basic title. And we're going to drag and drop it right here. So now we've got this basic title. Again, this is gonna be the title in which I'm going to say, I'm going to write zero. Okay, So let's see. So this is where I stop saying the word zero, blade, tool, blade are titled Down, Delete. And let's actually select the style right here and right, either zero or we're going to literally write the word zero. So I'm thinking of actually just writing zero like this. Okay, let me increase this in size. We can change also the fonts. Okay, the impact, for example, is a great font. And right here, let's just make this even bigger. I think this is absolutely perfect here. Okay? Let's see one more time. $0. And I think that actually zero should extend also in the dollar because I'm going to add $1 sign next to zero. So let's actually extend this title also as I'm saying, dollar. So let's go $0. So this is where I stop saying the word dollars. We extend this and now check this out. We said and we discussed on how to download images from the web, right? But what if I told you that you actually download, you can download symbols, you can download numbers, letters. So this exactly what we're gonna do right now. We're going to download the dollar sign. So let's go dollar sign. Okay, PNG for example. And I want to research this. We can go to images and refined all of those Dollar sign. So let's see this for example, it is a PNG file because you can see it is transparent due to the chessboard, let's say interface. We drag and drop this into our desktop, and we drag and drop it from our desktop into our final Cut Pro editing software. Once I drop it, you can see that it just pops out right here. So the first thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to make it start. Okay, I'm going to drag and drop this clip where I say the word dollars. So let's actually listen to this again and pause when I'm about to say dollar zero, right here, I'm about to say dollars. So we drag and drop this right here. I know that I stopped saying the word dollar right here when I stopped The title. Let's trim this down to here. So I know that this dollar sign is going to start when I'm saying dollar, I'm going to end when I'm done with the word, let's make sure that happens. $0, so great, it does so, so now click this and we need to make this smaller to wait to do so either from here, we can change the size either by pressing this and actually trimming it by ourselves. So this is what I'm thinking right here. I think Let's make this same size. Okay, Those are some small tricks you can apply. And now they are of same size, right? But what if I wanted actually to have zero in the exact same color as this dollar sign. How can we do this? Check this out. We need to press here to access this title. And we're going to go scroll down into where it says face on the face. We're going to press, Show and open the color menu. And under color menu, we can either try to match it from here, but this is actually hard. Okay, now I know how to do that because I've done it 1 million times, but it's actually hard. If you're lazy, you can just press this button right here. And this is going to pop up. And from this you can search actually the color that you want. Let's press it right here and you can see that they completely match colors. Okay, Another thing that we can do, for example, is to also add the drop shadow, which I absolutely love. Let's press show here and we can change the opacity, for example, the blur and the distance of the drop shadow. It's fine. Let's just add drop shadow. Okay, so let's see what I've done here. I think that dollar sign should be a bit bigger, right? A bit bigger. This I think is perfect. And when zero pops up, I want to add now this pop sound effects. So let's make this timeline bigger and let's go and actually search for our pop sound effects. This, for example, is a pop sound effect. We know that it is because I can see it first of all and I can read the title. So I'm going to click Command C to copy the sound effect. And I'm going to paste it exactly where zeros start. Let's press right here to add a pinpoint. And wherever I add the pinpoint, if I press paste, this pop sound effect will pop up. Now note that the pop sound effect starts when I've entered the spin, but I want to actually this mountain to go immediately where the title begins. So I'm going to drag and drop it to here. Let's say, let me zoom in a bit to add it with more precision and drag and drop it to here. So let's actually go ahead and listen. If the pope applies to where zero is found in our image. And if we are to do this correctly, great. And for example, we have this pop sound effect when zero comes up. And something creative that you can do when it comes sound is to actually go ahead and download this money clink, sign, for example, to add when the dollar pops up. So let's go here. Let's go and add money. Sound effect. Again. Now, let's listen to some sound effects. Cash, money sound effect 5 s. Let's listen to this. We've got an ad rate. So let's listen to it. Exactly, this is exactly what we want. So let's go ahead and copy this and we're not going to paste it into the YouTube to mp4 converter. Well, we can, because we can change the format to either MP3 or MP4. So we can do this in this link right here. Let me paste it. Okay. Again, based MP3. Start. Let's see. Yes, right here. Download this MP3, close this pop-up button and it should start downloading. We have downloaded it, so now we can just directly drag and drop it into our timeline. So this is how simply will literally downloaded the sign from this sound from the web. And you can do this very much faster than I did in this tutorial right here. So the next thing I'm gonna do is that we're going to actually synchronize the sound with the dollar sign. So let's actually, you can see that I have added a pin where the dollar signs start using this as a guide. We can actually pretty much seeing it too here. Let's decrease the sound of both. And let's listen to, Let's actually watch playback. It's out of scratch. Zeros. Okay, So I think that the dollar sign was actually a bit loud. So let's actually decrease it a bit here as $0. So with gum, I think this looks and sounds perfect. So let's actually see it one more time. Okay, edit those first 10 s heavily, meaning more than 12 courses and having more than 10,000 enrolled students and lost all my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that I have uploaded with $0 spent on advertising. I asked myself, is it really possible to create an online course out of scratch with $0? So with completely no budget to start generating This is a great part in which we can add B-roll, start generating monthly on money on a monthly basis. So let's actually do this. Let's go here and search for passive income stock footage. By giving them stock footage we'd get definitely have passive income stock footage, money counting machine, stock footage. How about this one? Economics? There's actually not bad. Yeah, this is actually not bad. It looks like an investment. So let's go ahead and copy this copy, okay, right here. Based MP4 start. We don't lose those tabs because they're very important for us, because we are using it all the time. It is downloaded already, as you can see, drag and drop it into our desktop and from our desktop we drag and drop it into our timeline. Now we zoom out and just hover our blade tool to see which is the perfect part of this video to trim down. So I feel like this was a very interesting part of the video. So let's actually go ahead and trim it from here to, let's say here, select, delete the other parts, and let's actually find where to drag and drop it. Drag and drop this clip that we have. So we said that we're gonna do this where I say money on a monthly basis. So let's press Play button to start generating right here. Money on a monthly basis. Let's see how that looks. No budget to start generating money. I think I'm going to start this when I say generating. So let's go more time, no budget to start, to start generating money on a monthly basis. Grades in an online course. Absolutely amazing. I don t think that we can add actually a sound here. We could gobble this bill with sound. And let's actually go ahead and also add this as a transition. So we again trim the a role right? Delete VA role with the B-roll right here, right? And then with some transitions, Let's see what we can do. Let's, for example, do is smooth zoom in. Let's see budget to start generating money on a monthly basis with an absolutely amazing, I know that we don't need to have transitions both at the beginning and the end of our bill would just can have only the beginning or at the end or like in this case, both in the beginning and the end of a barrel. It is absolutely fine. So let's watch someone with diamond just brainstorm, try to brainstorm what else we can add, because this is where prevents the media becomes very interesting in the video editing process becomes very fun when you actually have started adding it and it's coming out perfect. And you just add more stuff and more stuff and add more stuff to make it cooler. So let's say I started reading more than 12 courses and having more than thousand enrolled students. All my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that I have uploaded with $0 spent on advertising. I thought to myself, is it really possible to create an online course out of scratch with $0? So we've completely no budget to start generating money on a monthly basis with an online course. You know, I really like it. I just don't like, I just don't like that. The captions, the captions we have added actually play when some of our B-roll is seen. In these B-roll right here footage that we have added. The captions don't play because as you can see, the beetle is above our captions, but here B-roll is below our captions. And the thing is that you see Bureau plays with the captions. And in this case, it actually fits because we have this dark part of this B-roll footage. So those yellow captions actually, I feel like they fit, but I think that in this case, for example, they're a bit distractive. Okay, so what we're gonna do is that we're going to actually trimmed down our captions and delete from here to here, I think. Yes, delete the captions and see how that looks. Advertising, I taught myself, is it really possible to create an online course out of scratch? $0 completely no margin. Okay? The other thing that I'm thinking is that we also have a caption saying $0.00 dollars right here. So what if I just completely deleted the captions in the part in which I say $0 and just drag and drop those two parts to replace the captions. Okay, So this is what we're gonna do and to do our lives easier, I'm going to select those two clips have now cobbled as this motion template right here. I'm going to press C on my keyboard. And now it's going to ask me to create this compound clip and to name this compound clip. And once I press Okay, you can see that our title and our image became a new compound clip. This is a clip in which I pretty much have both my title and my image because this is the new compound clip that we have created. It just messes up two or more glyphs to make our lives easier. So let's actually go ahead and replace this part of the caption which starts with $0 with this part. So let's go ahead and listen to it from scratch. Scratch Okay, So this is the part in which we're going to say $0. So let's actually delete this $0. Delete, delete. And we got those sound effects that are sync with the previous part of our video. Let's actually select those two sound effects, bring them a bit to the right. Delete this part of the caption and replace it with this part of the caption. Let's make this a bit bigger and let's see, $0. Great, great. Let's actually now drag those two parts together right here. Let's see if the start of the pop is sink nodes not so let's sync actually started pop right here. And now both the pulp and the cash money sounds should be sync because we are actually drag and drop them together. So let's actually see how that looks like goes out of scratch, $0. Great. Another thing that I want to do is that I'm going to want to sell this as a caption. So what we're gonna do is I'm going to press here, here, make this smaller and put it just here at the middle of our frame where the captions would normally be. Let's press Done. Let's zoom out and see what we have created. Possible to create an online course out of scratch, $0. So with completely no budget to start generating money on a monthly basis. This actually looks very, very good in one. Another thing you wanna do anything that we're done with this video is to add this whoosh sound effect on our transition. So I'm going to copy this will sound effect from here. Let's listen to it again. Great. And I'm going to add it to this transition right here, which is zooming transition. Okay, So let's actually paste this right here. Okay? No, this is not sinks. So let's just move it right here to listen to it again. Started degenerating. I think this is absolutely amazing. So now let's actually works together the introduction of the video that we have created through those then the courses. So after grading more than 12 courses and having more than 10,000 enrolled students across all of my courses in all the different online course marketplaces that I have uploaded with $0 spent on advertising. I thought to myself, is it really possible to create an online course out of scratch with $0? So with completely no budget to start generating money on a monthly basis with an online course. So let's them. I hope that this video helped you understand the brainstorming process behind how we edit YouTube videos and Final Cut Pro and how we add more templates, more B-roll, more sounds, more tiles from the webinar K know that we brainstorm as we watch this video again and again, as we play back again and again to make it look even cooler, I want you to remember that Sky's the Limit and there's literally no sitting on how creative you can become, what those videos and with video editing. But I think that this is the most optimal way to become engaged in and actually make your videos engaging and increase your audience retention. Thank you very much for sticking. Up until the end of this lesson, I'm going to see you in the next one.
