hey everyone Greg here with science studio and yes this thing is kind of in the camera while you're facing this way you usually face over from over there you're facing that way but the cameras a little different because the video is going to be a little different but this is the blue Yeti microphone that I reviewed a few videos ago I do have that hooked up currently to a knee where I guess is how you say it a microphone stand and then I have a pop filter in front of that so that's what's that's what you're listening to currently and I will be using this from now on of course you won't be seeing this in most cases the video camera will be over there and I will make sure this is a bit higher and the gain I'll turn up a bit more so that the sound is still fairly clear but with that being said this video is a bit different a lot of you have complimented me in regards to my video editing qualities and you know how things look very professional when I upload them you know being that we only just started out three months ago and I really don't have much to my disposal really just this is really all it in the studio and I appreciate this compliment I do want to pay tribute to those comments that I've received by showing you how I edit videos so let's go ahead and get started so the first thing I want to point out here is the fact that I will be using shadow play Nvidia shadowplay to record all of this going on it does use a bit of CPU horsepower but not too much you do notice it takes forever to load because I have cpuid installed on my hard disk drive and on my cell estate drive but you can see here that my temperatures are relatively stable and while shadow play is running in the background we're getting around 10 to 15% CPU usage among all four cores on this 6600 K so I want you to keep that in mind while we go through this entire tutorial the video editing software that I use if you didn't already know beforehand is Adobe Premiere I highly recommend Adobe Premiere I do what I wanted to say though about Nvidia shadowplay the fact that this is going to be recording in 21 by 9 so this is my LG ultrawide monitor the problem with that is most of you only have 1080p monitors or at least monitors in the 16 by 9 aspect ratio so what I'm going to do is basically cut off the entire right side of this video from now on I'm gonna try to edit everything over on the left side of the screen so if things are cut off or you know something doesn't look right it's because I'm cropping this to just sixteen by nine for the sake of most of your I guess video sources so with that being said I we can go ahead and start a new project and we can name this project SC ST and then I always select capture format HDV and just that just make sure make sure videos look a little bit better go ahead and click OK and then it's gonna throw us into okay this is what I was talking about here I'm gonna drag this I hope that's about 1080p it looks about right guys right here this is the blank canvas this is where the magic happens ladies and gentlemen and this right here is pretty much where everything goes down here in the studio all in this application right here so we have Adobe Premiere Pro and first thing that I like to do I'm gonna slide this over just a little bit someone get this science - to your folder here first thing I like to do is drag in well most of my my stock footage I don't have much currently because I don't have the space for at all just to be stored I don't have an ass or anything like that so most of my data is you know upload and then dump I dump all the data that I previously use just because the videos are already on YouTube and I'm not really concerned with keeping a lot of my footage so what I'll go ahead and do is throw in a little bit of a mix of Clips here these are from the original skylake PC bill the RGB ville they will build we're gonna throw in let's throw in two or three these clips somewhere I'm very quick at all this is a clip of the screen for some reason okay so yeah so now we have basically our core clips and you can see right now it's streaming in full now if your CPU is not very powerful I recommend dropping that to half or a quarter what that's going to do is basically reduce the resolution of the image as it plays so you can see right now it's actually playing at 480p for a denote 540 piece excuse me it's playing at 540 P right now and then if we drop that again to 1/4 it's gonna play it whatever 1/4 of 1080p is when you drop this resolution down here you're gonna save yourself a lot of trouble if you're using an especially weak processor no offense there you know that's just if you have a weaker processes what you got to do I usually stream in half but for the sake of this video I want you guys to see everything in full detail I'm gonna stream it at full CP you should be able to handle it one way to test how strong your CPU is is just scrub do something like this here if you're getting a lot of like lag and delay well that means that your CPU is having a very difficult time keeping up with what the heck you're doing here in the application so you can give it a test or to try it out now if I drop it to one half things are gonna be much more responsive of course because the CPU is only rendering effectively half the video quality and I have to have the detail so I'm gonna go back to full now I have these clips here right and they're usually they're usually accompanied by an audio set but this audio set is from that's well it's from my camera it's the the shotgun mounted a microphone atop my nikon d50 100 so this is kind of like my backup now because i have the blue yeti microphone currently but in most cases i will just use the stock audio or I will use audio that I have made myself through audacity now you can see here I am currently recording what I'm doing so audacity I would use to record my audio footage and then I would that I would save this so I'll go up here and I would hit export audio I would export it as a dot WAV document which is a very high bitrate document music file and then I will drag that over here into Adobe Premiere under a two and then once it's over in a two I will basically synchronize everything so you have to align all the different voices but I keep a one here so that I know where to start that way I hear an echo and as long as it's a pure echo that means that I've overlapped the audio successfully then I can just mute this audio and then later on towards the end of the editing process I will delete this line altogether of course by locking this one first that I don't delete that and then yeah bring that over so that's what would happen if I had audio audio footage I was gonna say but if I had an audio file that I would overlay here if I was just you know talking if it was narration voiceovers effectively now but I don't have that so what we're gonna do is just put some music over it but that's really beside the point of this current point in time so uh my transitions my effects here I really don't do editing editing very much I just there's I just stay in effects cuz it's pretty much all like I like to do um we can have it I fade in from black over here no it's gonna just fade in yeah very nice and pretty I should probably that way you can see so this is this is how long the transition will take place you can of course extend this and it will take much longer for that transition to elapse you can see it's slowly fading in from black so you can do that and then we have other transitions over here between stock footage so okay this is this is what it'll say when you don't have enough media in between clips to fade that's not a problem though it's gonna say the same thing it's just gonna manually do it itself you can see here it's gonna bake it on over and then don't do the same thing over here hey you don't over there we go nice cameras all Rocky usually I would just edit that stuff out all right so let's go ahead and do that right here we have my pretty still clips so what I'll do is take the trim tool and I'll trim it of course we're gonna lose that fade to black transition but that's not a big deal go ahead and put another one in there okay get a lot closer you can see that okay so it's gonna fade in from black and it's gonna be pretty still and of course at this point I would be talking about the computer blah blah blah blah and then at some point I'm gonna cut it so I'm gonna pause it and I'm gonna slice it and then I'm going to determine what's good so this is a still shot too so we'll stop it right here then we're gonna right click and ripple delete all that good stuff actually not good stuff at all and then now we have another still shot still film of computer fans turning and we'll stop it right here don't need too much actually start to wobble at me in there and we'll scrub it a bit to the left okay trim that let's check to see if we got anything else over here it's worth include now one's nice but I want the one with a graphics card where's that at there we go okay right there delete all this good stuff when you hit ripple delete by the way it's gonna pull everything into the area that you just deleted that's quite nice and up to right there it's pretty good now we're to delete this remaining clip I'm gonna throw that cross-dissolve back in okay now you can see that once we hit play we're going to have a very smooth well not smooth but it's just gonna split between clips it'll look much more professional than it did when we just were editing the raw footage so the end result is much cleaner and looks much more professional and of course you wanted to add cross dissolves there you could do that I like to use cross dissolve so you could all see use film dissolves either one my personal opinion they look great so I'll just mix it up really one cross from one fade this is the original clip look at that fade yeah look at that pretty nice huh and then the film dissolve I believe it's the second one look they look almost the same in film dissolve actually looked a little better in my opinion the crosses off but yeah it's it's just up to you so yeah that's that you'll have another fade it's a little rocky we're gonna cut that out okay no no we're gonna have this one's what's the pull out so we're gonna have that edited crop that out and then we're gonna slice this back in let's see oh yeah look at that not the smoothest fade away but it'll do now that screen is rocky so we're gonna say yeah that's good okay that film is all back over there so it's gonna fade from here and yeah yeah the computer shut down I guess this is a clip of the computer shutting down how interesting okay so let's assume that what we have currently is is what we're satisfied with this is what we want to put this is the bulk footage of what we want in our upload and our Youtube upload so with that being said what I like to do next is typically I'll hop into our in studio folder and I will import some music now this music is uh this is the more recent music I've been using in most of my videos beat your competition is the name of this this song here that I pulled off of the YouTube library I'm gonna edit it on at it I'm gonna crop it right here you'll see why it's second I'm gonna go ahead and delete the rest of that then I'm gonna come up here to my audio effects but audio transitions crossfade constant power this is gonna let our audio fade in and out okay and then I'm gonna slice it right there again and I'm gonna do another transition you'll see why again in a second so what I like to set my audio to is about it's not gonna let me do it right here all I can just do this manually about 31 about right and then it's gonna of course transition up so this is basically going to time up so once we end once our last piece of footage ends it's going to increase an audio volume just by the way we set it up there are other ways to do this this is just the way I do it and then we're going to pull all of this over we're gonna make room for something special and that is our science studio intro this is the intro that I've been throwing into all of the most recent videos of mine on the channel you're open Dilys we can pull out all back together and then let's go ahead and give it a listen shall we yeah not bad huh yeah so that's that not too shabby eh and if you want this to fade longer we can just stretch that out just like you would with any other transition up here or effect I guess is what they're called so you can make that last longer so that fade out will take longer yeah so much more steady fade in that case not too bad so with that on in mind and all being said we're going to do one final thing and that's create an ending title I don't like to do anything very complicated at this point because to be honest most of you probably don't even watch the videos all the way through you probably just stopped recording or something like that so all I put here is just an sc/st and center it up I always use the same font preset it is case you're wondering one second here it's not technically center because this box goes down a bit further a little higher okay right there yep so that's good now but the font preset I use is this one right here poplar black poplar sometimes it's Rosewood black but whichever one's usually it's the first one it looked almost identical I really don't know why they're two different font types but yeah that's the one I always use that's the one I use for my title Clips my little title thumbnails for the videos and also what I tend to use most of the time within videos if I have access to Adobe Premiere and then once that title is created we hop on over here to our project and we'll find our title and we'll go ahead and drag it let make it stretch the length of our ending little split here and then we'll do a nice and steady dip to black right there and then another dip to black towards the end let's stretch that one out a bit more so it's not too quick yeah we'll go ahead and do it for this one too so there we go now our ending credits all right so that's all said and done okay now the last thing I like to do is start doing some image overlays on top of our source video footage so let's say we want to throw in a graphics card into the video itself let's go and type in graphics card now be careful here some of these pictures will be copyrighted or you know you'll run into some problems with ownership rights all that good stuff so be careful what you put on YouTube videos and whatnot okay okay so we have this one right here this is an ASIS what is this Poseidon gtx 780 so that's republic of gamers very nice one this isn't the newest but it'll do let's save this into our so we have science studio folder and we have picture folder sub folding throw that into there pull up our full nerves okay so it's right there now this is what I like to do with these photos because I don't like the white backgrounds and on top of that most of them aren't in the sixteen by nine format so I will open this with paint.net if you don't know about paint on it and go ahead and check them out a very safe user-friendly painting application select this magic wand tool here and click that white background go ahead and hit the delete button on your keyboard and then take out any of those extra white spaces that may have lingered around and processed here over there sneaky thing that and that seems to be at that little section right there I'm not gonna worry about that's too particular okay so we have that now if you have deleted a background from an image and it's so it's basically not a square or a rectangle what you're gonna have to do is save as and then you're going to want to change your save type to PNG if you save it as a jpg your background will remain white not blank as a PNG file the background will be removed and all you will see and whatever source whatever application you inject this image into will be the graphics card with no background at all and that's exactly what I like to do with with Adobe Premiere so this image right here this is the original jpg file you know hey and delete that don't need that anymore and we're gonna drag this image to the v2 which is one step above our base value and you can see boom there it is now this image is way too big takes up too much space and ultimately has nothing to do with this video but that's ok because we're going to shrink this graphics card by using the scale tool under the video effects control tab we can shrink it check it out we can rotate it yeah we can slide it up and down left and right you can actually do this with the clicking - why I don't like using that though I like using these tools over here and then uh let's see we'll just roll rotate it that looks pitiful let's do it like that yeah okay I'll have it right there and then we're gonna put it over in the corner okay and now pay attention to this bar right here this is going to tell the program how long to show this image so if we just played it with where it is right now right it's gonna pop up and then disappear now the cool thing is you can actually take these effects overlays and you can apply these to second third and whatever tier the video footage you would like to add into your into your final product so we'll just do a film well that's not just on let's do a crosses off crosses all fading in and then let's slide it further back so we can extend a little bit and then crossed is all fading out now at this point look at that and that pretty cool and then the last thing you could do in this case is go up here to the titles tab it's like new title default still just like we did with the with the ending title and then go down here and select the science to do approved poplar font and then let's type in gtx 780 okay we're gonna want to scale that way up so people can see it cuz that's a really nice graphics card we're gonna put it right there okay I'm gonna drag it on top of the two video clip so it's right on top v2 and we're gonna do the same fading cross dissolve in and out we're not going to bother changing the lengths of those effects and here's the final product yeah not bad if you want to extend it boom use that boom is is that they're gonna still be synchronous isn't that cool okay so let's go ahead and watch the final product and also remember to save everything that you do after every big step I recommend come up here and hit English Save Adobe will Auto Save as you just saw but it's it's periodic you can change that when it when it saves but you know if you have it save every 15 minutes or so you'll be okay these projects usually take me about an hour to two hours to edit and upload YouTube so that's pretty much everything of course there's much more there's much more footage and there's there's an extra layer of audio that goes into the actual videos that I'll upload especially this one this one's gonna have a few overlays but that's pretty much it now let's go ahead and watch the thing all the way through once more so you can see I don't know the end result of what we've just done here exciting right that's a video that's a science studio video in a nutshell that's how I edit so appreciate the compliments thank you for letting me know that you think I've done a good job I hope to only improve with my Adobe Premiere Pro skill so if you have any tips for me in particular go ahead and let me know in the comments below one more thing before I go though however I want to show you the presets that I use to export my media so I go into the media tab and the format's you know default h.264 maybe for me it may not be for you but I recommend h.264 click on that thing and then drag yourself down here to well you might not want to do this I do it just because YouTube's gonna compress the crap out of whatever video you upload regardless so I just choose the YouTube 1080p HD preset now you can change things like your frame rate if you want just hit the you know hit this little checkmark here and then you can drag it to 60fps say if you have a 60fps 60p camera but I just say it 29.97 effective because I have a 30 30 P camera so that's what that stays that if you have 4k whatever of course it would you would just select the 4k preset or whatever resolution video you have in your workflow I always select to use maximum render quality because it makes your pictures look a bit crisper render at maximum depth for the same reason I don't touch audio or any of this other stuff this is just extra stuff if you want to get fancy you could change the overall look of your video if you want changing these lumetri looks and whatnot I don't touch any of that cuz it's not really what I'm about and then I click export and the computer does it doesn't jazz so depending on your cpu horsepower however powerful your CPU is this could take anywhere from a minute for a one minute video file to 10 minutes for a 5 minute video file at various course depending on a lot of things but your CPUs the the primary determiner determiner God why do I keep okay you know what I mean your CPU is is gonna determine this this length of time mostly you see mine was I don't know how long the video was it was 52 seconds and has taken about 35 seconds to to rent that's not too bad for us for core i5 and then once the video is officially rendered and whatnot I really picked up speed very quickly I could hide an exit out here and all of my Adobe files save to to my Adobe folder so I'll go over to YouTube and then I will select upload you see some of the videos I was watching I click select upload you guys probably already know this why am I doing this I have no idea I want to be comprehensive Adobe Premiere Pro 9.0 and then where's the video this one right here I rendered to 816 p.m. which is the time it is currently while I'm filming this in Lafayette Louisiana select this video click open of course and it will begin uploading boom you're welcome
