I agree.. Doing rough cut prior before doing anything else saves a lot of time and makes editing 10x faster

@JulianSteve 2 жыл бұрын

I agree with you. Right now I am editing one of my videos and since I was adding images/rough cuts, it felt like I was slowing down. I’m going to follow this technique once I get back to editing💯

Thank you! This video has literally changed my whole way of working... I was exclusively using iMovie to edit all my videos and it was so limiting but the jump to Adobe Premiere Pro just appeared too hard. I have been using Final Cut Pro for several weeks now and I am so glad I made that leap of faith, it's like photoshop for video and I can be so much more creative with editing style now! I have also created an account with epidemic sound for my music and sound effects, which I am loving, when before I would be searching 'royalty free music' on youtube and taking it from there. I have also bought new hard drives and transferred all my files externally rather than store them on my iMac and my computer is way faster now! Another tip is not to shut down your computer at night but just put it on sleep as it allows updates and maintenance to take place at night and not while you are working. Thanks Cathrin for being a reputable source of information and recommendations that I can trust. :D

how long does it take you to edit your videos?! EDIT: I misspoke in the beginning when I said you don't want a copyright strike! I meant you don't want a copyright claim. obviously you don't want either, but when it comes to music it's a claim, not a strike 🤗 if you want to learn more, check out this article cause it goes over blocking, muting, monetization impact, etc. - www.safemusiclist.com/can-use-copyrighted-music-youtube/

We find this to very real and candid on what it is TRULY like as a KZfaq content producer. M A N Y hours behind the computer screen editing (that is in addition to the time it takes to write up a good outline for video content, and then filming the clips you need also). So, anything you can do for yourself to have templates and quick go-to's to make you video's in your editing software is a very good idea! Well done being real Cathrin. You did great here. :)

I appreciate the video. Although my time spent editing takes longer than I wish it did, your style mimics how I edit my videos as well. Cutting out the fluff and creating rough drafts of 2-4 segments of my videos, then sticking them all together has helped with the editing process. Adding titles and music last works well too. Thank you for sharing your process. Best wishes

No judging yo work flow but wanted to share my experience for a channel that is the size of catherines a desktop pc is a great investment due to the fact it edits, renders faster and also avoids having to create proxies. I understand some people prefer final cut so going for a desktop apple might just be way out of budget. As well editing from an external hdd slows down alot of your processes . A good idea might be edit from your internal drive and just save your export on the external. Great stuff Catherine :)
