In this video, I’m finally spilling all my secrets about how I edit aesthetic vlogs, from filming equipment, to my complete editing workflow including rough cut, adding music, color correction, to my most used ~aesthetic~ fonts, effects, transitions. I share editing techniques to make your ordinary life engaging stories for the audience, and tips to save time so that you can consistently put out vlogs even with a full time job.
I edit w/ Final Cut Pro, but feel free to adapt the workflow + time saving tips for any other editing software (Premiere Pro, CapCut, iMovie etc.)
Putting ourselves out there is hard, and editing can feel like such a daunting task. I hope this video helps make it easier to get your story out to the world✨

Evelyn, why don't you make a course on skillshare about vlogging?. You mentioned you do scripting before filming. You could cover all that and do a complete walkthrough from beggining to end. Show the filming along with the script you created. Then the editing part, etc. I would totally watch your course

@tapiocapress 3 ай бұрын

I have been toying with this idea actually! *Everyone* please like this comment if you would like to learn more about vlogging from me (from a course). If so, what specific topics would you like to hear about?

@@tapiocapressnew subscriber here, I don't typically watch vloggers at all as most feel very fabricated, but after watching a few of your videos about quitting your job in tech (I did the same a few months ago) I was hooked by your very authentic and relatable style. Keep up the great work! :) To answer your question about what courses would be interesting, the bit I struggle the most with is scripting. And where to start in general. You do storytelling very well and I'd love to understand your process - how do you decide how to structure your videos, how you then script it, how you plan/select the footage to go with it etc. Also, this video was super informative, thanks for recommending the tools and methods you use!
