Some questions that I missed/forgot Can there be a work life balance as a KZfaq editor? - Yes and no. You can do this as a normal 9-5 job if you have enough clients who upload regularly but if you're trying to succeed in the industry then you will need to put in tons of hours. For the first 3 years of doing this, I had no life, only work and even right now that I have people helping me out, I still work a minimum of 2-4 hours every single day, even if I'm on "vacation". Is sharing a revenue split with the creator a good way to earn money? - If the creator is smaller and you're only doing the revenue split then you won't be earning any money, this mostly only works if the creators are getting 100k+ views per video. And even in that case, it's a hard thing to pull off because if you're not the only person who is editing for them or you haven't personally made all the videos, searching for your specific edited videos every single month takes so much work that you might need to hire a separate person just to calculate it all. It works in my case as I'm a channel manager, I don't only deal with editing but literally everything that happens on the channel without the creator having to do anything at all and my position is to calculate how much budget I have for editors. You can be overqualified for KZfaq editing - When I started, I knew After Effects quite well and doing more basic editing was way easier so at some point I felt like I wasn't being paid enough for the hours that I put in but the fact is that I was overqualified. If you're a content creator, you don't need to hire some industry veteran who costs a ton when the same work can be done by a person who is just starting out because the quality isn't on such a high level on KZfaq. When I figured that out, I stopped trying to learn cool new effects and started trying to improve my editing speed instead. Within 3 months, I had gotten 50% faster but since the payment was project based, I was still getting the same amount of money. During the editing section, I throw in constant power transitions between clips, I didn't explain clearly why I was doing that. It's because when you make cuts and the audio waveforms don't line up between clips (so the previous clip is louder than the new clip) then there will be an audible pop and to remedy that, I add a 2 frame long audio transition just to smoothen it out. Premiere has a shortcut (ctrl+shift+D) to add a transition between the clips you have selected. It will use the default transition unless you change it. The same can be done for video, a shortcut (ctrl+D) will add the default transition to video clips (which is just a fade transition unless you've changed it)

describing Max0r as “artistic shitposting” and likening his work to Impressionism is perfectly spot on. 10/10

Bro made a 2 and a half hour course for free ?? RESPECT 🔥

As an editor, I'm super excited to watch this and learn new things for my videos. I'll come back with another comment to talk about what I learned from this XD

He COULD make this into a 200 $ course, but he uploaded it HERE so we can watch it for FREE. HUGE RESPECT MUDAN! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

My mans casually dropped a full-on 2 and a half hour editing course, filled with the most genuine advice and tutorials, FOR FREE. Legitimately could have made THOUSANDS off a course like this but he gifted us this for free. Mad respect Mudan, mad respect. Even if you have no interest in becoming a YT editor, there's SO MUCH good information here about freelancing, plugins, etc. that anyone that edits can use.

Bro I've been working as a freelance editor for couple of years. I knew most of these things but still this is a god send man! You legit made the best video on this topic ever.

I completely agree with your take on Thumbnails! In a limited space you want to convey to the audience a mini story, a quick tease of what to come. When Mudan give me a prompt / idea, I would consider the Rule of 3s and having a focal point for each thumbnail. You don't want to make it too busy otherwise our eyes tend to look away from it. Gotta make it clear and straight to the point. Also, if anyone hire an artist, please don't send your editor one thumbnail and call it a day. There's times they want to suggest a different idea etc. Work with your editor, give them more than one sketch of the idea. It helps to iron out the concept and both make a mutual agreement on the thumbnail. ✨✨✨

WHAT? This thing is on a full paid course level, thats amazing

Noticed you don't have a custom keyboard shortcut for Keyframe Temporal Interpolation, also known as Ease In and Ease Out. In Keyboard Shortcuts search for: - Keyframe Temporal interpolation - Ease In - Keyframe Temporal interpolation - Ease Out - Keyframe Temporal interpolation - Linear Making shortcuts for these was one of the best speed and quality of life hack I have done recently. (I do a lot of custom keyframing.)

Gigachad Mudan. Love from Lithuania

THANKS MUNDAN

thank you mudan.

This is excatly what I need in my time of trying to improve. That's my goat right here

wow, thanks for this course. so much value, this is why I love youtube.

Many thanks for the Thumbnails section here, this is actually super insightful - it sucks you need to play the game for SEO stuff on KZfaq but you've clearly studied it and understand it on a deeper level

thank you Mudan, I love your instructional videos, I've learned so much to use on my own stuff 😀😀

Thank you for this I’m gonna take hardcore notes

this video is incredibly helpful! so hard to find genuine content that includes some great resources. thank you!!

Thanks for dropping the knowledge. I love the classic KZfaq mentality. 🐲

Ngl, You were one of the reasons I wanted to start editing and I did, I've always find myself watching videos you edited to see what kind of stuff you use and it legitimately help me. Thanks for the making the video mudan 😁

Thank you for this video, I've never accomplished or tried any video editing course and just self-learned my way to get where I am today. But hearing all these stuff really expands my understanding in this career. You earned my subscription.

I’m so grateful for this you have no idea and with what you said so far you really made this with no alternative motives other than to help the community thank you 🙏

You are the goat, thank you so much. I’m already a video editor but this helped me so much

Cant stress out enough how much we appreciate this video. Sharing all the knowledge and experience for free. Thank you

As an editor, I cannot thank you enough for such a great, cohesive video over how to handle yourself as an editor, from start to finish. Taking notes and making changes here for sure!

This was so insightful! I really saw how useful excalibur is when you were editing and making smooth animations

Oh boy, I’ll grab the popcorn 🍿

this is such a neat glimpse of old KZfaq where you would get the most perfect amount of knowledge about every little thing that you could ask for and more for absolutely free literally out of the passion of the creator's heart :)

love the video man

you are actually the goat 🙌🙌

Literally his Magnum Opus! Kudos to Mudan.

Thanks. Huge beginner resource. Much appreciated. 🙂

Man this would be so valuabls. I hope it gets viral because mudan did everything right for the thumbnail and title.

Mudan this may seem simplistic and lackluster but thank you. The past few years I felt like giving up on making videos because my editing skills are not up to par. But after seeing you go through the process so full of passion while sharing your wisdom, it’s bringing back the spark I once had. I am now ready to just edit what ever the hell I want and grow from there. Mahalo Mudan ❤

mudan i love u for this

thanks for the vid man very informative

Really informative, even when I know nothing about editing

I don't know how to put it into words but this is like getting a lesson from the greatest legendary master of anything you can think of directly and thanks a ton Mudan for putting so much into this and helping so many peeps out there 🙌 cheers to the 🐐

I'm an editor myself and I am a huge advocate of using adjustment layers and making presets. They are by far one of, if not the most fundamental tools available in any editing software, and is the reason why I despise using vegas pro as it did not have adjustment layers until very, very recently. I do almost all of my zooms and transformations on adjustment layers as I can easily copy them around the timeline, and for repetitive things I make presets so I don't have to remake everything from scratch.

Pure gold.

thanks for the insights! :)

As a video editor for a +1mil subbed KZfaq channel, I can confirm that the information in this video is valid. However, Mudan doesn't handhold you in any way, so it's probably not the best guide for absolute beginners. Feels more like the information you would hear from a conversation between two established video editors sharing tips and ticks. As such, I fucking love this. Picked up couple of quality of life hacks that I totally need to add to my workflow. Thanks mate. 🤗

Thanks alot truly...... This was very informative

3 minutes in and got the best knowledge any video can give you

May the universe bless you for your guidance

this is FIRE

Thank you! so much! for this I learned new things! I edited mostly using with songs as the focus but last year started editing youtube videos it's so much different than a wedding videos that I've editing for years and (I'm using almost the same editing phases as yours) I'm still slow for my standard compared to editing prenup videos and weddings but I'm getting there.

Even as someone who doesn't edit videos, but, is doing 3d models-scenes, it helped quite a lot. The thoughts and ideas that you shared, helped a lot, so.. I don't think that only people who edit videos would only get benefited by watching it, or people who are using the sa,e programs as Mudan. Thank you for sharing!

Dude I've been wanting to learn more about video editing and you couldn't have uploaded this video in a better time. I absolutely love your work and I'm so excited to watch this video. I really really want to thank you for your work and for your help to the community!! P.S. I'm that dude that first noticed the trash taste Mudan easter eggs and twitted you about them :)

I definitely needed to see the workflow portion right now. I've been so bad about trying to perfect a scene (from cuts to color grade), then moving to another scene. I've gotten burnt out so fast and hardly have anything to show for it. I'm going to try doing multiple passes and stages going forward. I appreciate you putting together this video!

the goat posted

the absolute goatttt

Ngl, I have no intention of becoming an editor, but this video is super insightful! 😮 Especially the part about how ppl get into the industry was something I always wondered about 🤔 Mudan did an amazing job with this one! 👌

Great video talking about different areas belonging to video editing! Editing video with 4x speed reminded about scene from Sherlock Holmes (US version) where Watson visits Sherlock and Sherlock is watching and following 8 different TV screens at the same time...

Excited to watch this video cause I remember I dabbled in editing when I was younger in Sony Vegas and wanna improve on it as a hobby using Premiere and AE. Will prob add future comments to ask some questions.
