 We asked what you wanted, and you said editing tips. This week might cover some editing tips and tricks to make your editing process easier than counting to one. Check it out. One. I'm done editing! Results may vary. What is up everyone? My name is Estie Mike, and today we're going to talk about editing tips. Last week I asked you guys what you wanted to talk about this week, and most of you guys suggested that we should talk about editing this week, so here we are in talking about editing. Basically, editing is a huge part to any YouTuber, so today I'm going to try and touch on some different tips and tricks to help make your editing life a little bit easier. First before we dive in, I edit in Adobe Premiere CC, however you can use these tips in pretty much any editing software. You just have to tailor it a little bit for what editing software you have. To start off, whenever you build a new show, or series, or even video type, build a template. Include your intro, your outro, whatever different assets you might use and even music you might use in your video, and then click save. Next time you go to edit, things will be much easier for yourself. Take today's impulse episode, for example. I open up the project and already have the music imported. Rick's section with intro video, then it transitions to my segment, bottom third is already imported, topic bar is already there, and there's also color correction, which I slightly tweak each time for each video. Now when you get to the outro, everything's already aligned, laid out, and all you have to do is go to your file, right-click, then click replace footage, select the video you want, and it pops up in your featured slots. Now all I have to do is chop down my footage, and everything's done. Look into assigning your own hotkeys, or simply look at the hotkeys. The more clicks you save, the quicker your edit will be. For instance, when I'm editing, I often have at least four layers to slide through. So I assigned a hotkey to slice through all the layers just by hitting C. So now instead of switching to the razor blade tool and cutting each layer one after another, I can slide, click C, delete, snap to close, and keep editing. This one hotkey probably saves me about five minutes of editing per video. So if you go and assign other hotkeys that will make your life easier, you can start saving tons of time editing. Now lastly, this might be a no-brainer to some, but often people overlook this. If you're in a pinch or a time crunch, you don't necessarily need to wait for all your footage to start editing. You can start editing without having all your footage in place. Simply go and edit what you do have, place everything down that you do have, chop it all down as much as you can, and then leave slugs or blank black pictures where you want footage to go. So that way when you do get the footage, you already know where it needs to go, it's already pre-edited, you place down those videos, and you're done. This will save you a lot of time and keep your weighting down to a minimum. Unfortunately, there's some things that are out of your grasp. For instance, if someone shows up late or can't make it on this particular day, then it pushes your whole entire video off schedule. So if you can keep this time and keep editing and keep things in a forward momentum, this will look better on you and make things easier on you as well. But anyways, guys, that's it for me today.
