today we're gonna do something a little bit different I'm going to show you the entire process start to finish of how I edit one of my YouTube videos now since this is the entire process the video is going to be rather long and the audio on this is just going to be live I'm not going to go back through and cut or edit anything on this video just because of the extreme length so what you've seen so far during this process as me taking the raw clips from my camera which is the Panasonic gh4 that I used to film most of my cell phone durability tests and my tear downs and I'm going to take those clips and drop them on to my desktop now I personally have two SSDs inside of my computer those are two different hard drives I have my operating system and my program which is Adobe Premiere CC on one and then I have all of my footage and files on the other SSD so that the SSDs don't have to all be recording off of one hard drive it distributes the load across both of them evenly and you know Adobe is supposed to run smoother that way anyway so now that I have the files transferred from my SD card to my SSD or my hard drive I'm going to take them and just drag them and drop them into Premiere I imagine I've never used Final Cut Pro or any of the other professional editing software's so everything that I go off of today is just going to be strictly from Premiere now all the files are dropped into Premiere and I can take them and if I right-click on any one of these files I can create a new sequence this means that it's going to set the format of Adobe Premiere to the exact same size and frame rate as the files that I shot with my camera normally I shoot in 4k at 30 frames per second so that's just going to build the sequence or the format around that one nice thing about Adobe Premiere is that I can adjust any of these windows and rearrange them how I want so I'm going to take my timeline and drop that down into the bottom right hand corner and that's where I usually keep all of my clips that's all so you know where the storyline is going to be in that bottom timeline so if I double-click on one of these little boxes in the bottom left-hand corner these are all the clips that I just dragged in it's going to pull one of the clips into a source window which just shows me what's inside of that clip this is like the preview window of each individual clip that I can take and I can take and choose which portions of the clip I want before it goes into my actual program window which is going to be more of the final copy so the video that I'm gonna be working on today is from the LG and it's a pretty easy phone to take apart mostly held together with screws so I figured it would be a good video a good simple video to use as part of this instructional how I edit my videos video it's kind of like the inception of video editing here the mic that I'm recording on is a samsung meteor mic I'm going to talk about that more later in the video as I explain how I do my voiceovers so what I'm doing right now is I have my first clip in my source monitor and I'm choosing which parts of that clip are important obviously I have about 25 minutes worth of footage with the LG g5 and most people don't want to sit down and watch a 25 minute video on how to fix it so I take all of the important bits which usually ends up being about five minutes and condense it and condense it down into one short little video that more people are interested in watching the most important hotkeys that I use during this program are the JKL I and period keys and the O key so they're all over there on your right hand side of the keyboard so the J is like a reverse the K is a stop and the Elza forward and I use those while navigating inside of the source monitor and program monitor and on the timeline so I can choose which clip and then the I sets an end point and the O sets an out point and I can use the period to drop that down into my timeline so it's important to use as many hotkeys as possible because that really does speed up your video editing and I'll kind of mentioned a few of the other hotkeys that I use as I do this video editing video so what I'm doing right now is I have a few little templates set up during when I you know set arrows and everything to my videos because you know people don't want to watch me take out 20 different screws it is one see where the screws are at and if they really want to pause the video they can I'm all about you know streamlining everything and make everything as simple as possible on my youtube channel ain't nobody got time to watch super long videos so I have this template set of four arrows I am just these arrows I got from a font I think it's called wing-dings three or webdings three you can see that on the right hand side of the screen there if you want you can make this video fullscreen it'll be a lot easier to tell what's going on since you know there's a lot of little details all over the place I had counted the screws on this phone during the teardown and I'm just taking each of these little arrows and lining them up with the holes of where the screws came from and this is important obviously for the viewers in the future we're going to repair this phone I'm making this video showing how I edit my videos to kind of give back to the YouTube community I'm not super you know nervous about sharing all of my secrets online because you know I really doubt there's many people interested in making cell phone repair videos on the level that I make them but when I look back as I started my youtube career videos like this helped me out a ton I remember watching a few videos exactly like this one from Ben Brown and also from one of the editors over at Linus tech tips they made the full walkthrough of how they edit their videos and I learned a ton from them so if I can help out and give back a little bit back to the community you know I'm all about that I will link both Ben Browns video and the Linus tech tips video that I mentioned earlier down in the video description and I will try to keep on top of the comments below this video as well but you know I do get a lot of comments on my channel so things are kind of falling behind at this point I'm a one-man band as far as editing and comments and all of my other stuff goes so it's hard to keep on top of all the little stuff but either way hopefully this helps and if you have any tips for me also leave those in the comments I like how the comments section usually turns into like a community forum for people who are attempting the same projects YouTube is a fantastic place for do-it-yourself projects I will speed up some of the more boring parts of this video like now that you've seen me organize quite a few Aeros we're going to skip on to the next part basically I'm just you know using my mouse to drag these little arrows around and the font is the wing-dings or the webdings 3 now that's done I can drag that little title page over onto my timeline and line it up where you know generally where I want it to be later in the video right now I'm just doing a really really rough edit taking the important bits that I want to use in my final video and laying them all out I think I have about 30 minutes worth of raw footage I'm taking my mouse and just kind of scrubbing through the initial timeline right there in my source monitor because that gives me an idea of what's inside of the clip then I can just use those hotkeys again the JKL to play pause and reverse or rewind and the in and the out key I and the O and the period to drop it down to the timeline again now normally I have four computer monitors set up on my desk so I have you know the source monitor on another screen so I have more room on my main monitor for the program monitor which is kind of like the preview and the timeline you know things spread out it was just a little more organized for me it's how my mind works but since I'm doing this screen recording I'm taking everything and putting it in one window it's a little bit you know tighter spaced but you can make this video a full screen if you want to see like little details and the words and everything that I'm using so once again still taking my mouse and just grabbing that little blue icon and scrubbing through the footage to see what I have to work with usually I edit my videos right after I do the teardown so I you know it's fresh in my mind and I know kind of have I kind of have a general idea of what I want to say during the tear down video so at this point you can see me trying to remove the back obviously people don't want to watch the many failed attempts at me opening a phone and usually I'm one of the first people on the planet to ever open up one of these devices so there's not often that I get to watch someone else do it first sometimes you know on YouTube there is people who get to the phone before I do especially if it's one like the LG g5 and I have other phones that I'm working on in the mean time so I will use other videos to watch and get tips on how to of them and I've talked to I fix it and a couple of the other guys you know we have a pretty tight-knit community as far as cell phone repair goes and you know they all do the same thing if I get a video out before I fix it they watch mine if they get a video up for me i watch theirs it's just you know community we're all friends and we're all trying to accomplish the same thing which is to help people repair their devices that's how communities work I chose the LGV 20 to make this video on because it's so simple and easy and you can get a basic idea of how I edit my videos usually the timeline is much more complex than this especially if I'm working on an iPhone or a samsung phone which has a lot more screws and you know there's a whole different process using like a heat gun to separate that back glass panel from the phone so luckily the LGV 20 came out and I'm able to use that phone the simple phone to make this video with so for this clip I finally figured out how to get removed the back and pop off these two top pieces and bottom pieces and so I realize that that's the important part of the clip that I need in my source monitor so hit the I key and the O key to do the in and the out points and that marks it on the source monitor timeline that you can see there and I do the period to drop it down into my timeline you can also take your mouse and grab you know C in the center part of the source monitor you can grab just the video or just the audio from that clip and drag those and drop those down into your timeline as well so still just watching from my source monitor finding the important bits and we're just going to do you know a rough cut and drop those all down into my timeline it's a pretty monotonous process you know this is I've made over 400 videos now on my youtube channel so I do you know phones once you've been inside one you've been inside pretty much all of them they're all relatively similar just a few minor variances here and there with each new model anyway so I finished all of those clips on my first little tiny clip down there in the bottom left or you know keep everything organized is like my little library the camera that I use the Panasonic gh4 only lets you record in four gigabyte files so you know a video like this where it's 16 gigabytes there's quite a few files and plus I'll stop and start the camera a couple times during the video you know to answer a text or because I'm bored or if I need to you know see something up close or research something I'll stop I'll have a few extra clips to work with so when I finish one clip I'll double click on the other one which opens it up in my source monitor and then I can do the same thing scrub with my mouse find the important parts and use the I the oh the JK and the L to navigate you can use your mouse because you can see all of those keys down there at the bottom of the source monitor you know the stop the play and you can use those the only problem is when you're using your mouse a whole lot you're slowing down and you're wasting time because you know transferring your hand from your mouse to your keyboard or clicking on things just you know takes longer and you want to streamline the edits as much as possible especially with YouTube when you're trying to create content daily you know like a vlogger or any type of content like that it's just the least time the least amount of time you can spend in front of a computer the better honestly editing video is the worst part of being a youtuber it's so time consuming and you know it's just it's just not the most fun publishing content is fun creating the content is fun editing the content is not as fun so you can see while you're watching the source monitor sometimes I'll reach up and adjust the focus of my camera because my camera is not autofocus I want to be able to choose what's in focus at any time with my lens that I'm using it's the Sigma 18 to 35 I'll link that down in the video description and the gh4 has something really cool called focus peaking and I talked a little bit about that in my studio set up to where of 2016 I will also link that in the video description and all of that extra you know that footage where I'm adjusting needs to be cut out I am pretty lucky doing these cell phone repair videos that all of my lighting remains constant in the same and so there's not a whole lot of like color grading or lighting the screens that I end up doing all of that is done in camera I have my white balance set just with the computer inside of the camera internally Adobe Premiere does have an effects panel where you can get in and do some color correction I'll just if my white balance seems off I can just jump into the fast color corrector use the eyedropper and click on the background automatically correct that to white but since my camera does a pretty good job with the white balance I don't need to use that very often inside of the effects panel as well if you're doing color correction you can also brighten it sharpen it you know there's anything that you can do with your Instagram you can also do with Adobe Premiere change things to black and white luckily with my line of work I don't need to work with that stuff too much which helps streamline the process so the screen record that I'm doing right now is on my desktop PC which is a pretty powerful machine and I'll show you the specs of that at the end as we do the render section but my laptop which is actually what I'm doing this voiceover and this particular video on of how to edit isn't as powerful because it's a laptop and so if I need to I can jump in on the source panel and the program panel which is the center and the top right and I can drop those resolutions down from full to half so I can edit 4k footage on my laptop but since my laptop screen is 1080p it doesn't need to be displaying 4k because that's just not possible so if I drop it down to half it uses less of my computer's resources to display the image as I'm editing so keep that in mind if your computer is not the most powerful you can still work with powerful footage using Adobe Premiere just drop the resolution down while you're working with it and then when you render it you can render it out at full quality not a problem the lower you drop your resolution the less choppy the playback will be so now you can see I am reassembling the phone I did a couple videos way back when I started you know my first 30 or 40 videos some of them I didn't put back together again and people started complaining about that a little bit because you know reassembling the phone is half the process so I make sure to include that part of the video in all of my videos you know in the future because my whole premise about being a youtuber is to make life easier for other people when they're attempting repairs of their own I'm pretty I'm an environmentally friendly guy I enjoy you know not I enjoyed not wasting things and so when people throw away a phone that still has value or that they could have sold for money like that kind of stresses me out a little bit inside and so it's important you know the easier I may the repair for people the more likely they are to do it themselves which you know makes the world a better place in general less phones end up in landfills global warming slows down basically by repairing your cell phone you stop global warming it's as simple as that so you saw me do right there as I took that same arrow title that I used before and I went to the top left corner of that title panel and I did new title based off of current title which basically just duplicated those arrows so I didn't have to redo them all as dragged and drop that back into my timeline with the new title so basically I have two identical title screens and I can just them independently of each other without you know disrupting the first one it just makes life a lot easier and it's a little trick that you can use when you have titles that are similar to each other and you don't want to create the new one from scratch you can either choose a template or you can do that button I just showed you which is create a new title based off of the current title each time I finish scrubbing through a clip and getting the pieces that I need I can just drop down into that bottom project window where all of my little clips are and I can just double click and then start a new clip in the source window and repeat the same process over and over again until all of my clips are used up and I've gotten all the important footage that I need out of each of them so right now it looks like I have successfully put the phone back together again and the phone is functioning that's always a good sign so I'm going to take my screen and I'm going to work on the I don't normally do this but in this particular video I lined up the phone and the tools to make a thumbnail because it's always hard to get an interesting thumbnail from a teardown video sometimes with my durability videos I can get a good thumb or you know like an explosion video where I was working with air bags or something there's always a good thumbnail you can use with that but in this thumbnail for this particular video I staged it which you know is obviously fine I'll make another video about how I edit my thumbnails later you know making the background white and everything in Photoshop this particular video I'm just going to be talking about video editing so I did take a screenshot with adobe premiere of that tile right there my source monitor and I save that in the same folder and the same SSD that all my program files are on to kind of keep that organized so the rough edit is now complete I have all of the little tiny clips that I want from my you know footage I have about 30 minutes worth of footage and I've taken all the important bits out of that and stuck them into my timeline and during this whole time during you know the teardown itself and this rough edit I've had these ideas coming into my mind of what I want to say during the actual video how I want to explain things any stupid jokes that come to my mind you know I don't actually we Matt for the most part during my during my voiceover so I have this little script that I set up in this video the LG g5 I didn't have a whole lot of ideas coming to me during the process so I'm pretty much going to write the script from scratch as you see it right now so I'm going to rewatch the video from the beginning and just explain you know word-for-word what is going on during the video this goes back once again to just making the videos as short and to the point as possible when I first started making youtube videos I would go and you know I was Nate I was repairing cell phones before I was a youtuber and I would go and watch a YouTube video on how to repair a certain cell phone you know back when there was you know eight screws and it was relatively simple to take apart and these videos would be like 30 minutes long and 40 minutes long and I'd have to like you know scroll through them and like find the most important parts and these people would be talking about their lives forever and ever and ever and it's like whoa dude I don't want to see your dog I just want to see how to repair this cell phone so I make it a point in my videos to be as to the point and concise as possible it no one wants to hear about my life they just want to see you know their phone fixed and I feel like that's pretty important for you know any do-it-yourself video so by creating the script there's not a whole lot of you know um Xan repeating myself over and over again kind of like what I'm doing right now with this particular voiceover because I don't really have a script I'm just kind of explaining things as I go along so I hope you have your popcorn or your cereal or whatever you're doing because yeah anyway back to the important stuff in some professions there's always this like general idea that you don't want to share your secrets with the rest of the world because you know hurt your chances of success but like really with YouTube it's the exact opposite you actually get more from the system as you share more with the system it would always bug me when I would go to college and see you know I'd be paying thousands and thousands of dollars to go to my college classes I actually graduated in business but I would go to class and my teachers would pull up a YouTube video to explain the subject that I was paying them to be teaching me and you know obviously the YouTube video explained it better than they could and so it was good for them to use you know the best resource available but it was annoying because you know I can go find that video myself I'm pretty good at googling things it's just like why am i paying my professors thousands of dollars to be teaching something that I can learn for free on YouTube so I'm pretty stoked to be part of this super awesome free system which is YouTube that benefits the world on so many levels the more I can contribute the more I get back from it so it's a win-win for everybody plus I've literally talked to about a thousand people about starting their own YouTube channels and maybe one or two has actually started one and been serious about it most people don't realize how much work and effort goes into making YouTube videos and how much time it takes out of their day and so they'll quit you know after the first couple videos but in reality being a youtuber is actually a pretty awesome job and you really do make time for what you want most in life so if you want to become a youtuber you can you just have to spend the time and you know the hours to do it and there is an incredible amount of time and hours required most of them is sitting here editing videos like this so a couple more things I can mention as we're finishing up writing this script the camera mount that I use the tripod I mentioned it in my 2016 set up to her video which I will link in the video description is actually a tripod that the legs extend and there's no bracket holding the legs together so I can make them as wide as possible and the camera of the Panasonic gh4 that I'm using is actually attached underneath the tripod so the legs are spread and the tripods facing straight down onto my desk the camera is facing straight down out of my desk the white background is G is just a white piece of paper and it's a wooden desk that I'm working on so that'll won't bend or flex as I'm using my screwdriver or prying on the screen at all which you know was a problem I had when I use a plastic desk in the past you know one of those Walmart desks that you get those flexed and they made the video quality not as good I also used a camera with autofocus previously and that to a would get annoying for people watching the video as well it would be constantly going in now to focus basically I don't improve my video quality until I start getting complaints about different things and I'll mention that as I go along I didn't go to school for video editing or anything all of this stuff I learned on my own or by watching youtube videos you know like VIN Browns or the line is tech tips or any of Adobe's free videos that they have online as well basically if you have any question about anything and you know how to word it you can find the answer to it a lot of learning how to do video editing is learning the vernacular you know which words like what scrubbing means what editing all the terminology used for editing so I'll try to use those same words as I do this video so now that I've completely watched the video and I've written the script for the entire video I'm going to go through and read it just one more time obviously speed is an issue in trying to get these videos up I don't want to spend too much time you know reworking something over and over and over again it's better to get content out that's slightly imperfect then spend an extraordinary amount of hours trying to make it perfect time is money and you don't want to fret over the little tiny things plus my voice over isn't going to be perfect at the end anyway the script is more of just like a general idea of what I'm going to say it's also important for the closed captions because part of Google system you know how it scans your videos it obviously the Google algorithm has no idea what is inside a video so it's really really important that you try to do closed captions whenever possible not only it does not only to to help the people who can't hear they can read your video but it also helps Google's algorithm so it knows what's inside of the video and it can rank it accordingly so if you want your videos to rank higher and do the CC or the closed captions for your video some of my videos are shot live so I don't have a script written up for it not my tear downs are my durability test but like other videos like when I worked with Brian's mobile one the guy who got me started with YouTube four years ago and we exploded some air bags that video was shot live so in that case when I don't have a script I'll have my older sister transcribe the video for me after it's done and so she's actually transcribing this video because I don't have a script for this one either and I apologize profusely for it being so long and boring but huge shout-out to her even though she doesn't repair cellphones she is fantastic at transcribing and I appreciate it because it helps people who can't hear like I mentioned before and it helps the video rank higher because Google actually knows what's inside of it due to those subtitles so now that I have proof read my script and made any slight adjustments that I want I'm going to jump into the actual voiceover itself now the mic that I use is called the Samson meteor mic and I will link that down in the video description this is the same mic that I use to record the voiceover on the LG g5 video as well as the sound that you're hearing right now on this how to edit a video I usually have four monitors spread out in front of me so I have the script on one monitor I'll have the source monitor on a different screen and I'll have you know my main video editing on a third screen and then I'll have like a research screen on my fourth monitor so everything you know spread out in front of me does help considerably but as you can see it also works just fine on one screen it's just more consolidated so you don't need a huge studio to get started when I started my youtube channel I was recording everything with a cell phone which is like the old Evo 4G way back in the day that only recorded at 7:20 and then I was editing on a laptop so my first 50 videos or so our shot with a cellphone and edited with the laptop not even now you know I have a nicer laptop but still some of my videos are shot with a cell phone I see so many youtubers who are like oh I need this nice camera before I can get started or I need a really nice computer before I get started and like those are the dreams you know it obviously everyone who wants to start a business wants these nice things in order to run their business but these nice things are not a prerequisite to running your business you need content before you need things to run the YouTube channel you should start your YouTube channel with what you have and then let your YouTube channel pay for the nicer equipment once you've proved that you have content worth watching then you can spend it on the extra toys ok so jumping into the voice-over itself I'm going to mute that first track just by hitting a little M button and then I'm going to hit the microphone button which will start the recording I usually have this script on a different screen but for the purposes of this video so you can see everything I'm going to drop it down in front of the program monitor and the Adobe program so you can see what's going on so I'm reading through the script right now just word for word and then adding anything that I you know come up with off the top of my head as I'm reading it it's not super important to line this up with the video just yet I'll be doing that all with the editing process after the recording is done while recording all of this there is going to be quite a few mistakes but I can always edit those out later on when I streamline the video and drop it down you can see that the video currently is about five and a half minutes and I'm going to shorten it down quite a bit after I get my voiceover finished one thing that I like to do is I don't want to destroy any of the original footage so you see that the original footage has you know it's video timeline and it has its audio timeline I'm leaving that audio timeline there just in case I want to use any of the screwdriver sounds or the unclipping sounds or any of the sounds you know of the phone breaking during my durability tests so I'll leave that intact and I make sure to do the voice-over you know the recording in that second audio stream so that the original audio doesn't get damaged it's always nice to keep the original never destroy something that you might need later especially since it's so easy to keep it intact the first time around okay so you can see that the voiceover is now done you can see all the little audio peaks and the spaces between the audios where I've taken a breath or I've paused for a second during the voiceover them and I'm going to edit all of these out to streamline things so I'm just going to do I'm going to press the C button which pulls out my razor tool and I can just clip the audio wherever I want to and then drag and drop it to delete segments as I jump in so for this video I am going to use my original audio so I'm going to jump into the audio track mixer and go to my first track and drop that down a few decibels usually about 4 to 6 depending on the video that way the video from my camera that Panasonic gh4 is going to be less prominent than the audio from my Samsung the voice over might so people can still hear the sound of the screwdriver and the phone moving around but my voice over will be way more prominent so I'm still using this C button which is the cut or the razor tool and I'm using that to cut out all of these extra spaces remember YouTube has a very very short attention span usually about 3 to 5 minutes for my type of video so I'm going to cut out all the extra junk so they don't have to sit through that watch time is also very important for YouTube's algorithm lately so if a person is watching my video and they only watch 20% of it YouTube is going to think my videos not very important so if I make my videos short and consolidated and important to watch the whole thing people end up watching 60 or 70% and a good watch time you know is obviously greater than 50 so the more I can get people watching my video the better that's why I only leave in the important things during the rough edit I took out all the parts that I thought I might need for the final edit and now that we're doing the final edit since the voice-over is done I can shorten the video down quite a bit so this is the intro section of my video so I'm going to shorten it to the clips that I want just right clicking and then click you can also use the Delete key to delete anything you want now this is the intro I'm going to do a video specifically on intros here in the next week or so on how I make a video intro like this and you can't do for your YouTube videos in the future this one's at 1080p so I'm going to right click and scale to frame so it fills up the entire 4k sequence that I set at the beginning of this video now if I hit alt I can drag the video side of the clip down and leave the audio intact because the audio actually goes longer than what I want the video to be a little bit of black screen that I got rid of there I'm also going to drop down the audio of that intro because some people were complaining that it was too loud drop it down for decibels or so and you can do that on the actual audio clip itself just by dragging down or on the left side in the effects panel as well you can drag that and I'll show you how to do that in a minute so now this part of it is going to be a lot of rewatching the clips that I'm editing just to make sure that things flow smoothly and I have the clips in place that I want I'm going to be scrolling in and out of the timeline with my scroll wheel but you can also use the plus and minus buttons up on the top of your keyboard above the letters this is different than the numpad those keys the plus and minus don't work you have to use the plus and minus above the keyboard itself also during this voiceover you can hear the sound that my lips make when I talk I had someone complain about that as well and so I usually clip those out you know during sentences you know what happens to every youtuber during it you know when you're recording on a mic even on the super nice mics I'm using a relatively nice mic I believe it cost like 360 50 I don't know cost like 60 bucks maybe so you know it's not a thousand dollar mic but you know it sounds pretty good even the thousand dollar mics don't cut out all of the unwanted sounds so you can see a little peak right there so I'm just going to drag the clip over and hide that peak and hide the breath that I took right there as well people lose interest when you take breaths so I'm going to get rid of all of the unnecessary ones and these parts are ones where I stuttered or said something wrong or I didn't like the tone of my voice when I said it so I just reset it and then I can click and drag and just erase the clip that I messed up on if you've ever wondered why youtubers always say you know leave a comment or like and subscribe all that stuff it's because the viewers don't remember to do those things so right now I'm explaining that they can find the toolkits in the video description because in the video description you know there's a lot of ways youtubers make money you know whether it's through affiliate marketing or selling their own products I send people to the description so they can find the products that I'm using in my videos and at the end of the video will always tell them to LIKE and subscribe where I'll mention it throughout the video so they don't forgive you know even me I'm a professional youtuber and I don't like the videos that I enjoy on YouTube unless I get reminded sometimes so it's always good practice to slip it in there not excessively but when it makes sense so to streamline this video a lot of the times I'll just cut the clips like I used with that C button I can also right-click and adjust the speed of the clip so right click speed duration sometimes I'll do one hundred and fifty percent sometimes two hundred percent rarely will I go up above that because it starts to get choppy with the footage and so you know one hundred fifty two hundred percent is about as fast as you know it looks good on my computer screen and in my opinion so you can also right-click in between clips and do a ripple delete which just gets rid of the blank space between clips and also on the timeline I have that little snap icon clicked which means that as I'm dragging dropping these clips it'll automatically snap to the clip that's closest to it so it won't you know overwrite it or leave a little bit of black space or blank space in between them it's always annoying when you render your final clip and you find like two seconds of blank space in between two clips and you have to go redo the whole thing because the snap wasn't enabled and the clips were butted right up next to each other so there's two ways of listening I can just hit that play button and play it and listen to it naturally or I can speed it up with that L button then when I press the L button the faster it will play forward the more I press the J button the platt the faster it'll play backward or I can also just click that little blue I on and drag it is called scrubbing through the timeline and I can listen to it there's you know there's a ton of preferences and stuff you can set up like if you go to edit and preferences you can get rid of the sound that it makes while you're scrubbing but I actually really enjoy that I can hear it very quickly and get all the information that I need it's also very important to brand your videos at the end of this video I will show that I drop a water market at the bottom left corner of jerry-rigged everything it's weird but I have a lot of people stealing my teardown videos now I'm not sure why someone you know would want to steal a very boring teardown technical video like this but it happens a lot and so with that watermark it's very easy for people to notice that it's my video and come and tell me because I don't always see them first I usually have you know someone shout out to me on Twitter or send me an email saying you know hey this guy stole your video and YouTube is incredibly good about giving credit to the person who posted the video first so I'll get in there and file a copyright claim and is usually taken down within one or two hours not a big deal at all the filing copyright claim only takes a couple minutes you know hardly three minutes you just have to link the offending video and your own video and you can even file multiple complaints in the same complaint form so huge shout out to YouTube for making that an easy process for creators like myself I really appreciate that so there's probably a hotkey for changing the speed duration I don't use it I just find right clicking and then going up but for the speed duration is you know fast enough for me and the speed duration boxer is also a clip that if you're changing the speed of multiple Clips it'll automatically shrink them all together not leaving that black space in between them all so you just have to find what works best for you and your workflow whether you want to use you know a ton of hotkeys or if a mouse works just kind of like how I'm doing it on my computer like I mentioned before I didn't go to school for any of this stuff this is all stuff that I've learned you know from trial and error or from YouTube or Adobe's free videos on how to you know create content you can really learn anything you want on YouTube is pretty incredible so for this clip I did throw in a political Donald Trump joke you know which happens every now and then general Trump is an easy guy to make fun of and so I just grabbed a little PNG file off of Google Image Search and then I can drop that down into my playlist just like you would with a title take that title image and drag and drop it right down into my timeline there's a whole huge controversy over like the fair use and stuff like that I haven't had any problems with using still images like that I just make sure that you know if there is a watermark or branding on the picture I leave that intact when I post it into my video or you know if the website has specifically stated that they want credit for their picture or if they want or if I don't want to use their picture at all obviously respect that but as long as you're not claiming someone's creation as your own fair use usually is pretty fair so I'm still using my mouse wheel a ton while I'm editing this timeline I'll he'll done that Alt key and scroll in with my mouse and scroll out with my mouse to focus on these little tiny intricate details that I'm adjusting when I drag and drop that timeline to eliminate a breath I'm usually just eliminating like Oh split second or two now these don't seem important if I'm just talking about them but in a video where a youtubers attention span is so short these are very very important and that's why you'll see some of the most popular youtubers doing these jump cuts to you know where they cut out all of their breaths to keep people's attention longer one of the best ways to learn how to YouTube is just to you know not copy the guys who are on top not copy them as in like their channel and you know their videos word for word but their style like their editing you know figure out how they do their cuts and their zooms and you know all of these different little tiny things that most people wouldn't notice unless you're in the actual business and I'll explain some of that as we go along so you can see that I'm using my mouse to start and stop the timeline a lot and I'm used you dragging it all along the screen and this is actually probably pretty bad practice you know it's slowing me down the more I use my mouse if I was able to use more keyboard shortcuts it would speed things up considerably now if you jump it up into the edit you can scroll all the way down and see a list of shortcuts that adobe has and I would recommend learning those as you're beginning and using them because it will speed you up later on I wish I used more keyboard shortcuts and I'll probably try to focus on using them more in the future but this video right here is just showing how I you know edit now I could technically be using the spacebar button to start and stop the video as it's playing I think it's because I'm you know just using my mouse to drag and drop so many Clips my mouse is already you know in motion so I use that just to start and stop them as well as I'm dragging and cutting things all over the place the way I got my timeline to look the way it is you see the audio graphs and you can see the peaks and the low points I just hovered my mouse over that left side and use my scroll wheel to expand that particular section of the timeline whether it's the audio or the video if you expand it you can see more detail and this helps a lot when I'm using that audio timeline to splice different mistakes that I've made together like let's say I start saying a sentence and I stop halfway through and repeat that same sentence over again I can take the correct part of that and splice in the corrected part of that into the correct part and it makes it easier when I can see the actual timeline and what the features look like in the audio visually so earlier in this video I created that second title using the same title as the first one that just kind of duplicated it and allowed me to create a second image of it so I can edit the second one and it won't change anything on the first title and that'll allow me to get the screw locations matched up to where I was as I reassemble the phone since it's not going to be the exact same position as it was when I took the phone apart so I need the arrows to be in a different spot anyway so I'm dragging that second title into place during this second rough edit of the footage I usually do the first edit which you saw where I get all the important bits out the second edit which I go to I match it to the voiceover then the third edit is when I do like my zoom ins and my crops and I you know make sure everything is streamlined and that didn't miss anything and then I usually watch it through a couple more times just to make sure that there's no mistakes and then render it and I'll walk you through all that stuff right now and as you can see you know I make a lot of mistakes when I do my first voiceover for the video whether I don't like my you know intonation as I'm recording or if there's just different mistakes different mispronunciations there's a lot of editing that goes into the voice-over itself and you know that adds you know a lot of time to the actual video editing process if I was able to just record it live and post the video it would take a lot less time than it does but one of the reasons that I am the most watched and viewed cell phone repair channel on the Internet is because I can take a lot of information and consolidate it into a couple minutes so these extra couple hours that I spend editing my videos you know they pay off in the long run so for this final clip of the voice-over I notice this myself as I was watching it on my phone one time is that if I just stopped the audio it'll make kind of like a popping noise and if it doesn't fade off its its abrupt and people notice it so I can set a keyframe right after the audio stops and then I can drop the audio gradually with a second keyframe at the end of the clip and you can set the keyframes as you saw in my video just by clicking that little icon and then moving the timeline a little bit farther on and setting the second keyframe and that's how you do it there what I'm doing right now is I'm setting the in card screen so the in card is something that YouTube has recently started and it only goes for the last 20 seconds of the video so I'm going to make my endcard screen just those last 20 seconds I added the it's free part because a lot of people on YouTube don't know that subscribing to a channel is free especially someone who's only coming to YouTube to learn how to fix their phone they're obviously not on YouTube a whole lot you know not usually sometimes they are but they'll think that oh if I hit that subscribe button is going to charge me like a monthly fee or whatever I found that I did get a large increase in subscribers once I started mentioning in the video that it doesn't cost anything to subscribe so that's why I do that and then I also do the shout-out you know with the Instagram snapchat and Twitter if I didn't mention you know hey follow me I wouldn't have any followers over there on Instagram snapchat and Twitter because people just you know don't do anything or don't realize that you want it unless you tell them specifically that you want it communication is really important I find that my subscribers and my followers are directly related to how many times I tell them to follow me and subscribe so it is important now I did have a screen preset a template preset for that title this is my watermark in the corner you can set the opacity of this watermark to whatever you want since my screen is white and my watermark is white and there is no border around the text I leave my opacity at 100% because it just blends right into the white background anyway it's not obstructive and it's not too large but it is definitely there so people can find my video if it's ever stolen and come and tell me about it which I super super appreciate so I locked that top bar you can see the video timeline up there I locked that so I can click and adjust anything below that because if I click on the pro Grahame monitor its going to only select the one screen that's on the top the top layer of it which is the watermark and you know I'm mostly going to be adjusting the video and I don't want to touch the watermark so since it's locked I can accomplish that so in this particular run through the video I'm going to adjust the volume so right there there was something in my main audio footage from my Panasonic gh4 that I didn't want so I just clipped it and then drop the audio down all the way so it's out and people can't hear it anymore I'm also going to be going through this footage and zooming in on things that I want to focus on or draw attention to or show one thing I learned from the behind the scenes channel of Devin Supertramp is that you want to show something in a way that people haven't seen before that makes it interesting to them that's what keeps people around and so I will zoom in on things because normally people don't see things that close up as they would with a 4k camera also you see right here that I'm doing just a super super quick zoom in on something and you'll notice that it logic a lot of huge youtubers do this as well when they want to emphasize something that they're saying they'll crop in on themselves just ever so slightly so I'll click on the frame and then go over to my left side on the master panel there where it's suggesting the clip and I can adjust the scale so if I'm doing just like a general zoom in i'll usually jump in you know like to 125 or so but if i'm going to do a massive zoom in on something that I need to show specifically for a repair i can go all the way to 3 or 400 percent since i am working with 4k footage here zooming in super far with for kake footage you don't lose very much image quality which is awesome and one of the main reasons why I have a 4k camera in the first place is purely for that zoom feature most people don't have 4k monitors to watch things on but anyone can appreciate a good zoom without that catching so after I've zoom in I can double click on the monitor and since I have that top watermark locked it's not going to move and I can move just a screen underneath it or the layer underneath it is better said still using my alt button and my mouse to scroll in to the timeline so I can see those little intricate details and the timeline sound that I'm zooming in on looks like my joke is placed correctly along the side and the most important component and scrubbed through it a couple more times just to make sure my headphone jack would be like having a president a lot of planning goes into these jokes so I zoomed in about 300% on that one and the image quality is still pretty darn good a lot of these second third and fourth run-throughs is just a lot of watching to make sure that the timing is correct between the voiceover that I did and the original footage because you know that's what video editing is if you want to move the effects from one clip to another like let's say I've cut a clip and I've zoomed in on half of the clip but I want to zoom in and arrange the other half of the clip the same way but I left the cut there in the center you can just copy the attributes and then paste the attributes to the other one or any of the other clips on the timeline that you need to so right click copy and then right click paste attributes and that'll you know change the speed of the clip as well as you know the crop of the clip and the zoom of the clip any of the attributes that had changed on the first one will then copy over to the rest of the clips I'll go to that new place I fake it that's a good way to not have to change each clip individually now I'm going into that second title screen where I you know just duplicated the first arrow screen and I'm making sure all these arrows are lined up back to keeping people interested in your video you know using those subtle crops you'll find that a lot of big youtubers use it when they're you know making a joke or when they want to emphasize something I notice mkbhd usually does it a couple times during his videos it's super super subtle so you won't notice it unless you're actually paying attention to it but as you watch his videos watch for that it'll be showing him just talking and then it'll zoom in for just a couple seconds then zoom back out just you know a quarter of an inch or so but it'll happen and that keeps you interested subconsciously go robbing hairdryers and little ladies open is filling up like you would a Samsung those are much more difficult for their funny like you so we are reaching the end of my video you can see the end card up there with the Instagram snapchat and Twitter icons those are all PNG files which means they have a clear background which is nice also side note if you use that snapchat icon on your snapchat will actually direct you straight to my snapchat so it's specifically designed for my my snapchat so now that I've done the third walkthrough which is just kind of you know taking all of the little different clips and setting those you know doing the zooms and making sure that it all flows smoothly I'll usually watch it you know a couple more times just to make sure that there's no other mistakes or errors and everything is the way that I want it to be and then I can move into the actual exporting of the file and uploading it to YouTube which is a whole new ballgame all by itself it is always a good idea to save your project a ton of times as you're you know working on it also set your auto saves do you know every 15 or 20 minutes just in case something bad happens to you during a project okay so what I'm going to do is I'm going to export this right now I'm going to click on the little file name right there little part in blue and then I can save it as whatever I want to this is how you get your video you know stitch together into a viewable format for YouTube so I'm just going to name it the LGB 20 tear down I think I called this the LG g5 a couple times during this video I will LGV 20 is what I meant to say and so I'm going to save it as that and then as far as the export settings goes I'm going to do the h.264 which is what YouTube prefers and this matched source high bitrate crap is a big mistake on Adobe's part because this high bit rate is only rendering it at 10 megabits per second which is completely way too low for what YouTube uses so I'm going to take this and adjust it up because my camera is shooting at 4k 100 megabits second and this is just something I pulled off of Google's website talking about what bitrate your footage should be as you upload it so if you're doing 1080p you should be at 8 megabits a second or you know 12 if you're using those higher frame rates and if you're doing 4k there's no way you should ever upload something at 10 megabits per second you need it to be you know I the minimum that I would ever do is 50 but since my camera is doing 100 you know I might as well render it at that the way that the h.264 is like encoded though it'll end up being about 80 megabits per second and that's just how h.264 converts the image into h.264 and I'll probably make a video about that in the future but it is very important so rendering at maximum depth is talking about the color whether it's 8-bit or 10 bit most monitors can only do 8-bit so you don't need to worry about the 10 bit or rendering at maximum depth and then the maximum quality or maximum render quality is talking about blending frames together and that's important if you're doing a lot of special effects but since I don't do a lot of special effects I'm going to leave that unchecked so yeah I think that hits all of the exporting settings when I though I learned about bitrate and stuff when I was doing my Nexus 6p video and a lot of people are complaining that they couldn't see the Nexus 6p logo on the back of the phone when they were watching a 720p or lower and that's because of YouTube's compression since I uploaded that at 10 megabits per second that particular camera I was using was 50 megabits a second I was losing out on a bunch of that quality and YouTube was just crushing the video at 10 megabits per second people weren't able to see the detail anymore unless they were watching at 1080p which is extremely frustrating so from then on I made sure to use the higher bitrate on every single one of my videos and so if you want your videos to look crisp or clear use the higher bitrate when exporting at h.264 so my computer at home is a beast this desktop because I'm rendering it that higher bitrate it's using less of my CPU during a render if I was using a low bitrate my computer CPU would be thinking a lot more about the transcoding process I'm not sure why it does this this is something that adobe you know has their own issues with but you know it is still pretty fast and I usually use the Adobe Media encoder instead of using Adobe Premiere to encode it and that just frees up the Adobe Premiere so I can use that when I'm setting up my thumbnail I can do my screenshots and everything Devin Supertramp has some good behind the scenes stuff and the line is tech tips video that I mentioned earlier also is fantastic as well as Ben Brown has to how I edit my videos and I'll link all of those at the end of this video and you know if you have any tips for me also leave those in the comments and you know because that will help out other people as well not only myself and YouTube is a fantastic platform for sharing tips and tricks and and that's the way you know education is going you can learn everything you could possibly want to for free online and that's the way it should be so hope you enjoyed this thanks ton for watching and I will see you around
