 Ah, I just lost everything I've been working on for hours! Hey, this is JR Fisher and this is part three of the series of the pros and cons of using your iPhone for YouTube videos. Now, you can actually make great videos if you just do it right and you make a few little changes here. Now, I've sold millions of dollars of products online, both physical and digital products. And I want to share with you some of the tricks in the secrets that I've learned along the way. And I've used my iPhone a lot to record videos. So you can do it, you can make some stunning videos, you just got to know what to do. Now, if you missed either the first or second video in the series, you'll want to go back and watch them first because they are a series, you're supposed to watch them first. Go do that, okay? Now, once you've done that, you want to continue to this video right here. Now, if you don't know where those videos are, I'll put a link below, calm down, it'll be there. Just click on it and you go back and you can watch them. Comment, let me know what you think of the series. If you like it, let me know. If you don't, let me know. That's fine too. But do comment there. Have you been making videos on your iPhone? If so, what kind of success have you had? What kind of problems have you had? Let me know in the comments below. Now, in the previous videos, I showed you how to make the actual videos and what to do with the videos. And this one here now, we've got a file. What do we do with the file? So in this video, by the time we finish this video, you're going to know exactly what to do with the file, how to edit the file, what to do when you edit the file to get real success. And don't forget, at the end of this video, when you stay to the end, I'm going to give you free access to my $97 course, absolutely free. The only requirement is that you have to click the subscribe button and I'll tell you about that later. Okay, so let's jump right in. Now, the first obstacle you're going to come across is you've got a file on your phone. How are you going to get it to your laptop and edit it? Now, you can do some editing on your phone, but I would recommend that you do it on a laptop. It's much easier and you're going to have a whole lot more options. So what do you do? Well, if you have an iPhone like I do, I have a couple options. But if you don't, you're going to be limited. You can't really text it. The file is too big. You can't really email it because the file is too big. So what do you do? You're stuck, right? No, you're not stuck. There's a couple of things you can do. Now, I bought this little gadget right here and it's pretty cool. I found it on Amazon. It actually plugs into my iPhone and it will transfer that file immediately to this little zip drive. So that's pretty cool. But if you've got an iPhone, the best thing to do is to actually use AirDrop. AirDrop's awesome. Here's how you use AirDrop. Just follow along. And as you can see here, all I have to do is pull up the picture, hit the little button. It's going to go to the area where I want to send it. I pick AirDrop and boom, see there? It just sent it to my computer and it's already there. So that's pretty cool. Okay. So now you've got the file on your computer. What the heck do you do with it? You've got to edit it. You can't just shoot a video and not, I mean like, see, okay, so, see, I should have edited that, right? Don't leave that kind of stuff in your video. You've got to take your video and edit it properly. But what do you do? How do you edit this video? Now, there's a couple free programs first I want to tell you about. If you've got Macintosh or Apple, you're going to have Apple iMovie and that's going to come standard on your computer. You can use that and it's great. It's really good. It doesn't give you all the options of some of the paid ones and I'll get into that in just a second. Now, another free one you can get for Windows is Movie Maker. That's going to come free on your computer. Now, the only problem with both of these is they're limited as far as your options. So if you want to put text and pictures and music and sounds, that's a lot of tracks. And neither one of these will let you put a whole lot of tracks there. But you don't have to buy anything in the beginning because I certainly used them. And I think most people do in the beginning they use the basic editors. So you can certainly do that. Now, the best paid ones I would say are going to be Final Cut Pro, which I have and it's a good one, and Camtasia. I really, really like Camtasia a lot. Camtasia is probably one of the best ones out there. And quite honestly, I use Camtasia for editing pictures too because you can do so much with words and graphics and that type of thing. I almost use Camtasia more than I use Photoshop. So if that tells you anything at all. So both of them are good though. If you want paid ones, I would recommend Camtasia. I like it better. It seems easier for me to work within it. Now, when you're editing your videos, the whole point of your videos is to get rid of useless information and keep the viewer's attention. If you don't keep their attention and they don't continue to watch your video, then they're going to click off and that's not going to be good for your algorithm. If they're not completing, you know, a lot of your videos, then they aren't good. So we have to do something about that. So how do we make them good? How do you edit these videos where people want to continue to watch? Now, there's several things you can do. You can zoom in and out. And I used to think in the beginning, people were doing that with their cameras. They would do like this, or they would do like this, or like this, or like this. And the thing is, they weren't zooming in and out at all. All they were doing is cutting that particular section and zooming it in on their movie editor and then zooming it out on the movie editor. Simplest way to do it. You could also do things like adding logos when you talk about a particular thing. You can add music like this, like this, and you can change colors. So you can use color or you could use black and white. That gets people's attention too. You can also use sound effects and you can even do crazy things like I did in the beginning of this video. But all those things are going to keep your viewers watching and coming back for more of your videos. So where do you get free music from? Where do you get sounds from? Where do you get all this stuff from? If you go into YouTube in the Creator Studio, they actually have all kinds of music you can get out of there. And you'll want to sort it by usage. And you'll want to read the rules on that because they do have really strict rules. And if you think you can put music in your video and that YouTube won't know it, they have an algorithm that actually listens to your videos. And if you've got one in there that's got copyright infringement on it, you're going to get in trouble. And if you get too many strikes, they'll actually cancel your account. So you don't want to do that. If there's an attribution that you have to attribute to that particular artist, make sure you put that in the video. Keep you out of trouble. I found this site here called freesound.org. Pretty cool. You do want to read all the usage rights, but just about any sound you can think of is in there. If I wanted a dog barking right now, I'd have a dog barking. It's really that simple. So you'll want to check that one out to really good, really useful things.
