 I haven't done a Caden live video in a little while and I still use this for my workflow. I have been determined not to use any other thing but an open source product and run it on Linux. I know that a lot of people sometimes give up on there and besides me and I believe the Linux gamer, I don't know a lot of people that are quite as determined to only use Caden live to edit our channel content. This is what edits probably 90% of my channel content. The only other tool I use maybe the other 10% was the earliest videos I used open shot. That's what I started using and I kind of I don't know if the word outgrew it or it just didn't have all the features I want. Once I learned Caden live I was really happy. Now for those of you going but it crashes all the time it has gotten substantially better over the years so for if you would try it a while ago yeah you dealt with a lot more quirkiness versus has become extremely stable. Well extreme is okay. Much more stable than it was. Extreme stable maybe would not be the right attitude to use for this but it has become substantially better and they are still as the popularity of this goes grows it has become better and better with each version so they're good at quashing bugs and the only way it's bug squash is report those bugs by the way so you can't just say it crashes and move on. If you really want to help an open source project sometimes you know creating the scenario documenting scenario and submitting a ticket to how that scenario came to be helps the developers understand what needs to be fixed that's been an important aspect to improving the product. Now that being said I am running this on Linux I am running this on currently I run Papa OS that also being said if you want to try it on Windows I've had a lot of problems on Windows with it maybe they've improved it it's been only a few months since I last tried it but I just found it to be very glitchy on Windows. I think they put it on Windows less as a use case more as a to gain popularity of the product but unfortunately I think it may be hurting their brand a little bit because I've I've just had trouble with Windows on it but then again I run Windows very little and I'm not the best at troubleshooting all the different things you have to do. It works great and if with Papa OS you can just install it directly and no problems like I just use their the the pop shop to install and it works so that being said let's get rolling into this. Now I'm going to get my head out of the way and for those of you wondering I'm still using OBS Studio to do the record on this so we're going to show you how I do a multi camera edit so it's not just editing it's the multi cameras a lot of people isn't just one thing they want to cut and put in here maybe they want to have something else in there and that may present a little bit of a challenge so I'm going to show you how I create these videos now I've turned on a little tool called screen key so you can actually see what I'm typing and that's going to be very helpful against you here so we're going to go ahead and first we'll just look at this project this is the edge switch video so this video is published already done and you can see like it has an overhead track it has the main track and I'm pulling audio from the main track this one's muted we're going to show you how I created this this was a really simple example of one of how I edited and shot this video so we're going to go ahead and start a new project my default is 1080 at 30 frames a second this does have an option of editing in higher resolutions like 4k I just don't my camera's not 4k but it does it does go up there and I believe the Linux gamers talked about this tool and he used he shaped some of the stuff in 4k so it does have further support just not what I'm doing so now we've got a blank project here now this is very slightly different than my normal workflow and I'll just cover that real quick load layout this is my one screen layout versus three monitor layout you can read changes around and normally I stretch the editing across multiple screens so I have more screen real estate but it doesn't present well on YouTube so functionally it's the same but layout is a little bit different it's a little bit tighter here so let's get the files dragged in so here's the project files it's the ones that recorded you should probably name them but when there's only three of them and I named one of them overhead they're not hard to figure out so the first one is the non overhead shot the second one is the combined shot where you want to jump back and forth between the two of them all we have to do is take these now that we have them here and drag them down now we're seeing at the bottom is what key presses I'm doing the x and s is choosing between the select tool and the razor tool so we're going to go ahead and hit x and I just know as I can watch the video here I have to hit record and walk over to my seat because I do a lot of these videos by myself I don't have a cameraman not that fancy yet so we hit x so we go into cut mode I know if I cut about right here then I hit s highlight this press delete key and it deletes it and then we just drag it over now we've set an easy beginning of the video so I can go here and I can see that the video is starting I have the audio turned down but normally this is where you listen to it and figure out you know what parts are there the other thing you do is you notice how you can see the sound wave sound here at the bottom if you hold the control key I wonder why it's not displaying the control key I guess isn't the screen keys isn't displayed a modifier it's only control key and rolling the mouse back and forth let's you zoom in and out of the timeline and once you zoom into the timeline you can then go here and see things and if you want to zoom all the way in it gives you a frame by frame basis nothing we're doing is so frame by frame technical but if you had something you want to remove you can then you know zoom in that far and remove things you know in those finite little details so this is the first part of the video where I unbox it I talk about it I'm talking to the camera and then I say at the end hey let's take a look inside so we go to the end of this part and I know I say it about right here like I said I normally listen to the audio but that's not relevant get to the select tool and just before I get up zoom in a little bit drag it over I know that's where I say hey let's look inside cut press s to change it from cut to select press delete to get rid of that extra little piece now something I do think is important I'm going to go ahead and save this real quick I don't know why I capitalize it doesn't but I do recommend saving it and that way you can just hit control s as you're editing and this goes for any editor I've seen people lose their minds with some of the other commercial editors the same way where it lost something if you're doing a lot of edits and cuts I just keep my fingers on the keyboard and I hit control s a lot to make sure I'm saving because that's important now here's comes the tricky part now I know this is my main camera and this is my overhead camera as I named it overhead and I just know this is the main one so we're going to drag it here and before we do the trimming and cutting I hit the record buttons approximately the same time but not exactly the same time so there's going to be a slight variation here but because the overhead camera does have audio on it it makes it easy to line up other tricks to making them line up would be like you know having both cameras looking at the same thing and like clapping your hands together and then timing the noise to be exactly like that because I'm asking you can't see my face in here to time it that way but even without that you can see the peaks starting now because the camera the main camera has the good audio track and this has a local quality audio tracks it's just the on camera mic we're going to go ahead and choose mute mute te and then you just drag that over to here and this is something that's really handy for when you're doing this being able to just go up here and drag now you can also the effects are all right here and there is a ton of different things you can do color corrections and stuff like that I did apply in the final video a color correction which I'll show you real quick but we're not going to leave it applied for the demo here but if you need to apply a color correction because for example you notice it looks a little bit dim you may want to just go here to color correction gamma and now you can see we're brightening it up so it's not hard to apply those but I will say you may want to wait till the end to apply them depending on this video your computer because if you apply the color correction effects prior to the editing it's it can be a little bit more taxing on the computer because it will show those in the preview now we've got these two things synced up as you notice we moved them around and we say okay this is where the audio syncs and we know it's the same now so we can see it together we'll actually zoom in a little bit closer and I feel that's pretty aligned and it doesn't need to be perfect unless you're trying to sync up someone's speech then you want to make sure if I was you could see someone's face because there's nothing more annoying than you're being out of sync it just it's unsettling to watch I think but now we want to group these together to make this easier so we just hold on the control and click on each one of them and by doing this control and pressing edit then we say group clips that kind of makes them for the moment act as one clip now we don't want this for all time but we want this because now I have to figure out where the talking part begins because this is obviously nothing going on here I'm just adjusting the cameras so we want them to start here and I'll do the control s because after I do something you like to click save so now zoom in a little bit and I'll say the talking part starts right here hit x so we have it in the cut mode and when they're grouped they cut together so then we'll delete this drag this over and I'm going to ungroup them because now I want to apply effects separately now if they are grouped one nice thing will happen is the effects will be applied simultaneously to the group that's why did the mute before grouping that's an important procedure and then for the other part here we want it to occur simultaneously for cutting but now we want to apply the effects individually I'm also going to make it easy on myself by taking these and dragging them both also it was a control and select both of them and dragging them up and we'll move them back a little bit and I probably should have done this before I cut but by having a slight overlap and then I go like this and now we've created a dissolve so now it will just dissolve into the next frame but you don't see it because this is on top this is the part where uh figuring out because I want to cut between the two cameras I want to make this easy and this is my editing trick for doing this so hit control s to save again before we start applying effects like I said I get in the habit of doing this and I think this is anyone who's worked on computers for a long time control s to save in a multitude of programs you want to make sure that you are doing this all the time so now we're going to go over here position pos position and zoom and I'm going to change the size here for the top video to just 50 for now and now it's moved over here now once you do 50 you can actually go ahead and just drag it and make it smaller now what I'm doing here now if you wanted if you wanted to show the two shots simultaneously you could do it this way now the first part I'm talking about what I'm holding so I want the main camera shot so I just leave this over here until I actually start looking down so I'm still talking to the main camera now I want to start talking about the components about right here now the easy way for me to do this I just know and you know if you listen to yourself sometimes I'll accuse myself by pausing leaving a gap and looking up so what you do here and a couple things we can do if I want I could cut this little pause out we're not going to do that here we're going to just go ahead and select the top layer and we select this now I don't need this little piece in the corner but by doing this now I can select it hit delete and now I just have me talking then I decide how much of the overhead do I want and I'm going to choose an arbitrary amount for the purposes of the demo I actually did most of this with the overhead but let's say I wanted to start talking to the camera again here I hit x again now I take this piece and I just hit delete on the position zoom now we start here I switch here and I switch back here and let's say there was a part here and we'll just pick an arbitrary point again you know let's say I wanted to cut back to the main camera and I just don't need this piece so then I select it out but by having them just small right there I'm able to without having to read drag it back in each time and we'll cut this piece in to be the full camera so we do this and we take this and we're going to remove the effect so now as it plays out it's here I switch overhead I switch here I switch overhead because I'm never changing alignments the audio would always stay in sync and this is how you can do very easily a multi-camera edit now the same rule applies I generally like a hard cut when I switch between cameras but if you want to do a soft cut it'll fade between there this is personal preference the default is a dissolve it does have swipes and all the other things and I see some people love and I you know and remember reminiscent of the 80s videos where we swipe to the left or to the right or up or down or dissolved in weird patterns like diamonds you can do all that if you want I I don't uh it's an editing style preference but you just click the corner and it automatically adds a dissolve and you can just drag this transition but then you can also and sorry my color layout changed so it's not showing you which one it is but then this is how you can change all the different interactions if you needed to for how the dissolve works but you know no big deal it is like I said sorry about the missing I was playing with my colors and I didn't fix them before the video I'm not sure what I changed I was customizing things but you can darken soft light value and then you can control the type of transition here so alpha add blend like I said these are all these little fine details if you care about those things and playing with it that's more advanced and I don't really use it much so I'm not an expert on that but by doing this you can now go back and forth it switches the overhead it fades back or in this one without putting that we hard cut back and forth and then in the end I just talked to the camera again so we'll just go ahead and eliminate this entire second track with just select it press the delete key and we're done and then I put the put the thing back together so we'll go ahead and trim this off wherever I think is right here where I stopped talking x whoops s for select and then hit delete I delete those extra tracks and that's it hit save I can go ahead and render this video and now I have the video for this now there's one actually if you watch the final video I also drag in and I can just show you real quick because I'm using OBS I just drag in the OBS video that was with it that saves to a different folder by default just the way my workflow was set up but it's pretty easy to get going on here and drop in a couple files and away you go now one other thing I'll comment on and I screwed this up the other day as as many of you pointed out is if you do have to obscure things that is common for there whoops I'm in the transitions you got to make sure I'm on effects a lot of people ask about obscuring stuff as well and if you want to blur something that is something absolutely can do now by default it blurs like this so you can see the little blur going on here we make it a little bit bigger and you can select where it is this little box here is lock aspect ratio in case you don't want to because you don't want it to be a rectangle a lot of I don't know why it's locked by default but now you can do this and you know obscure something that's on there now maybe I'll do another video on how it can do tracking with obscure but I will admit it's not wonderful there are most their ability to track and do object tracking to obscure it I've used it for things like I've obscured a license plate in a video that I uploaded once as the car moved the the pathing on it's a little bit tricky I'm not very good at it I could probably get better at it maybe I'll do a video but I just hardly ever use it most of my time if I'm obscuring something I'm obscuring like an IP address or a serial number or a windows license whatever it might be something I don't want shared so you just do that and drag that obscure on there now the nice thing you know we'll cover this because this overhead shot repeats of course here let's say I wanted to you know obscure the serial number of this you go to this and it's not on here you go here drag and now it's obscured on this one as well so once you create an effect the effect can be dragged over and we'll also add because I noticed that this is a little bit dark and in the end video I really did color corrected a little bit by going here and go color correction gamma and brightened it up and then of course now it looks faded so now we went here color correction and because I have a background photo editing and things like that I'm generally comfortable using curves the baser curves and understand how to use them so we're going to go ahead and make that a little bit more contrasty you know you fine tune it but now you're going okay how do you apply that well there's two options here because this is all in video three track there's two ways I can do it I can apply it to the track itself and now everything on that track gets it or control z so we didn't want to we'll undo that I can take this adjustment and drag it over to this one so this one was not adjusted and now it is but we didn't drag the gamma over so now we got to drag the gamma over to and now we've applied those same effects to this or you can drag them to the track once you've tuned it on one particular clip then you can either drag it to the track but everything on that track will get that effect and there and also someone has pointed out before in my editing like hey I drag the mute directly to this clip you can drag it to the track the only reason I don't usually drag things to track is because when you start getting to the more complicated edits with a whole lot of things in here you'll you may have forgotten and I've done this before I render like why is why is audio cutting out oh that's right I drag the mute to the one track but then later I move something up to this track that was had the audio track in it and you know it caused an issue that being said that's the video editing workflow for a two camera setup with Caden live I guess it pretty simple and when you're done you just go ahead and hit render oh and for some of you that may have noticed I've added a end roll so the way I add the end roll this is actually how we end it as I just go here and that and that'll get added to this video now that I'm editing and it fades into the end roll and away we go thanks for watching if you
