I'm no pro KZfaqr, but I have been making videos for years and years, I have multiple channels. A little tip of my own, if you finished a video and it's uploaded onto KZfaq, I recommend uploading it to some sort of online drive account rather than deleting it. I've heard a lot of horror stories of people's KZfaq getting hacked and all of their footage getting removed from KZfaq and they no longer are able to access it. For some videos maybe this isn't so important, but especially if you're a vlog channel it could be extremely heartbreaking to lose all of your videos. That way you just have it so even if you don't re-upload it, worst case scenario you still have it for yourself

I completely agree with this. Get an external drive and save it.

@thiagogregory1 2 ай бұрын

videos are really really heavy, so if you're a youtuber, your videos will fill your drive storage really soon even if you buy the max storage, so what do u suggest?

@RyanKorea Ай бұрын

@@thiagogregory1 use the program Handbrake. It'll turn the video into a fraction of the size with practically zero perceptible loss in quality. I turned a 60gb video into a 1gb video and couldn't even see a difference on my 4k monitior.

This video has given me a whole new perspective on the amount of work just the editing part of creating content is, let alone the filming.

I’m a fellow editor and I’m newer to Final Cut after switching over from windows so I’ve been watching other people’s editing workflows, and I have to say you did a great job, explaining how you put yours together! I was curious about a couple of things. What did you use to actually record the screen and how did you get the really nice circle for over laying yourself over your edit?

I edit different from you in FCP. When I trim a footage I use the Event Viewer using "I" mark to in and "O" to mark out the footage than I add it to the timeline. I like two monitors. One for the Source and one for the Timeline to watch the footage. KZfaqrs edit in FCP, Davinci, or Adobe Premiere. But I like to edit in Avid Media Composer. Have you tried to edit in any of these software's?

What do you think about music with vocal singing? Am I the only one who hates it? It's like the KZfaqr is making me listen to their taste in music and I'm usually not in the mood for it. I watch a lot of crafters/artists vlogs and quite a few of them use singing as their music. I usually mute it but then they quickly come back on and start talking again. It's a back and forth game of muting and unmuting and I'm actually getting really tired of it. I hope this phase goes away soon! What do you think?

@tinaw.6178 Жыл бұрын

recommendation: edit using headphones. then you will hear the static/hiss that made me unsubscribe. i came back hoping the audio was finally addressed but alas :/ edit: okay i got to the audio portion. so i have to say, i appreciate you taking the feedback into consideration, but you still didn't get it solved. i don't watch your vlogs so i never heard anything there. in my very uneducated opinion it's because your camera/mic is so far from your voice you have to turn that up sooo loud to hear your voice? again idk.
