Day 10 - Creator Breakthrough Series (Editing Made Easy: The 3-Step Fast-Flow System)

18d (edited) • Accountability & Goals

Okay, I went ahead of myself in Day 9, Part B. Oh well. Anyway, Day 10 is DONE & notes attached!

Here are my answers to the questions in the workbook of this section:

My bullet-point outline:

-Intro

-Step #1

-Step #2

-Step #3

-Step #4

-Outro (w/CTA)

B-Roll - I will record these as I prepare for designing, teaching, and filming my gift basket content.

In my editing, (I use Descript) I will remove filler words, retakes, and more. I recently learned what retakes were. I'm ever learning with this YouTube journey. I also need to learn how to zoom in and out of the video. The support from Descript is swift and clear so I have not problems getting the info I need to learn this. Now, "How will I know a clip is clear enough to keep?" Humm, I need to check this out. I think it would be by feedback from my viewers' comments.

Now about the polish, for now I will not add background music. I do not want any copyright issues of any kind and I have heard of horror stories. When I decided, I will have a music jingle or tone created for me. I want to have my own music, not what others are using.

For the onscreen text, I have to learn how to do this too. I had Descript's Underload (their AI) do that for me in two videos and I was relieved! That does not excuse me from learning how to do it myself so I will learn.

I plan to use 4K because I learned that YouTube positions these videos first and they show better on television which most people are choosing to watch YouTube on.. I understand because the video is bigger and clearer. I even watch 90% of my videos on TV.

The easier part of this editing process is the workbook exercise of answering these questions and giving me explanations to consider. I am learning. The part that seems confusing is the rules for myself. Once I rewatch the video a couple of times, it may click and become clear.

I see that I will need to dedicate a lot more time to learn editing which I will do after I complete this challenge. Then, I will know what to tell an editor when I hire one again.

Gratitude Note: Thank you to everyone who read, comments, like my progress. It is encouraging and shows me how my views will see this content. You have taken your time to think, provide feedback, and push me along. I am truly grateful for you!😃💞
