— Aesthetics, that is graphics, text, etc.
Storytelling for Video Editing!🍎
The story is about a character pursuing a goal with obstacles in between.
The viewer should feel the same way as the person on the screen.

We were in a big hurry, so the video was made in the shortest possible time.
I did the foundation and Hayden gave it a great polish.

My video didn't get any views!🍏

Captured emotion.
Showed his journey.
In a word — told the story.
There's a piece of each person that we can show.
I use this Structure to save myself hours of work.🍎
— It will be more convenient to divide the video this way by tracks when cutting.
Perfect > Useful > Unneeded
And Extra to spare If the Perfect footage runs out.

How does a video editor respond to criticism?🍎
— They only criticize the work, not you specifically!
It's hard to separate yourself from the project.
Make changes, maybe the client was right.
After all, criticism is the most valuable tool for growth.
YouTube Bingo Clishe be Like:
"MrBeast Font"
"This is Me"
"Today we're going to be..."
"What could go Wrong"
"But unfortunately"
"Cricket noise"

Content creators, I'll tell you how to improve your videos🍎

This is a Trick that the Biggest YouTubers use when Filming🍎
How can you transition to another scene without Editing?
— With the Intraframe editing!
This trick can be used in both clips and YT videos
Think of it as an upgraded version of a match cut
That's why Content Creators stop using arrows🍎
An arrow is an indication that the audience is unable to find what's important in the shot.
— Do I look like an idiot? I won't look any further!
It's not trusting your audience that they can't find the information in the frame.
Why do some Content Creators ACTUALLY rarely release their Videos?🍎
— If you're doing 2 videos a week without results - try to do one!
When you release a lot of it all the time, people get used to it.
Your content may be devalued (depends)
Less videos, but better quality.
Can Video Editing become a full-time job?🍎
Most people are sure that no, because this job does not look stable.
I want to tell you that there is career growth in this field.

This technique is used by
@Casey
and others.
People look at the point where the lines connect.
If our background is the corner of the room, the lines will focus on us.
Try this if you're a content creator.
3. Sound
— Use more than 1 melody (add more), add many necessary sound effects.
You won't believe it, but SFX works wonders, just trust me.
The music should match the theme of the video and the emotion.
Video Editors, Happy New Year!🍎
— I wish you success in the new year!
Interesting projects and happy customers.
Thank you first and foremost, my followers.
I would like to personally congratulate my colleagues.

Why do Video Editors burn out?🍎
Many content creators and freelancers burn out quickly for this reason.
— "I live in balance, work and rest whenever I want."
Emotional swings are exhausting.
Learn to work - when it's required.
Learn to rest - that's part of the job, too.
How long does it take to learn a new Skill?🍎
In the beginning you will be terribly bad.
20 hours is the average of how quickly you can learn something.
— How do I learn to make YouTube videos?
Break this task down into simpler ones, and solve them.
The more tasks you will
2. QCE - Quick Change Edit
This pattern can be used in many tense contexts.
Great for documentary videos, blogs, and intros.
Fast frame changes grab attention and also utilize the Kuleshov effect.
4. Be specific
— Don't say "I drew a cool picture," say "I drew a green cat."
If your point is specifically shown and said, the audience won't have to guess what you meant.
We don't know what our audience knows, so they interpret the information any way they want.
I've finally finished my new website!🍎
— I want to say thank you all for your support!
We have made great progress with Video Editing.
In honor of this, feel free to ask almost any question in the comments and I'll try to answer it.

Why video editing is important?🍎
Content creators often write me a similar message.
I'll answer that.
— It helps you tell your story more effectively.
— It helps you get your audience's attention and create a professional product.
The better your video is - often, the more
Almost 90% of Content Creators get it wrong at the Ideation stage🍎

If you know how to use Storytelling and Motion Design, you'll be a monster
🧵/4 — Special Breaks
Listening to a person for a long time is pretty hard.
You need to pause to give the audience a rest.
Show a graphic, a meme, a clip from another show, etc.
Increase the volume of the music between the speaker's words.
This secret shortcut saves me 10 minutes an hour!🍎
- In Premiere pro you no longer need to manually resize in the Preview Window.
- All you have to do is bind "Zoom monitor" to the keys you like!
And zoom won't be a problem.
Where does a good Story for a Video start?🍎
Most often with a few questions:
— Why are they doing this?
— Why am I interested in it?
— Are they showing the truth?
— Are they really making a something new?
Analyze why you watch a particular video, what attracts you to it?
97% do not succeed, and only 3% succeed, how?🍎
Many say that the secret does not exist.
You have to work, and you will be successful.
— In fact, we know it, this secret to success.
Try to ask successful people about it, I'm sure they won't tell it to you.
I really love "The Pattern System", how to look for it and implement it.
This is my personal technique that I would like to share in the future.
Let me know if you are interested in it!
Your YouTube intros are killing the whole video.
How?
You edit a very energetic intro with fast cuts and effects.
Then after 15 seconds, you change the tempo to a lot calmer.
Viewers go away.
If they like the intro, they want the whole video to be like that.
Don't overedit.
That is one of my storyboards!🍎
— What do you think? It looks pretty nice
I like to make storyboards in Photoshop, so it will be easier to show the customer what the animation will look like

How can you increase viewer retention with Video Editing?
▪️ Show the viewer at the beginning what to expect from the video.
▪️ The beginning of the video should be as interesting and short as possible, to keep the viewer.
▪️ The sum of the video should be at the end so that

Finding a good Editor is very hard, I mean, really qualified one.

So becoming a highly-skilled Creative Partner, is valued more than just a Video Editor.
5. Creating a riddle
You watch even terrible movies when you wonder what happens at the end.
Create a video challenge, a mystery, and the viewer has to wonder what will happen at the end.
I advise you to analyze his blogs, I'm sure you will highlight many interesting things.
