10 Video Editing Mistakes EVERY Editor Should Know!

[@DrivenToXplore]

Might be one of the most important videos that us new youtubers should watch. Thank you very much!

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Avoiding these 10 mistakes will massively improve your edits! A lot of this is knowledge rather than skill so all really easy to apply 💻👌

[@maidamattey]

Great tips! Keeping this as a memo: 10 VIDEO EDITING MISTAKES EVERY EDITOR SHOULD KNOW 1. Overusing transitions 2. Poor organisation 3. Flow state editing 4. Not using B-roll (cutaway footage) 5. Using shots for the sake of using shots - not adding to your Story 6. Poor music choice 7. Not using sound effects 8. Poor colour grading 9. Cheap looking graphics 10. Ignoring the 180º rule

[@prophetofhorror]

Thank you so much Steve. I started my KZbin channel in February, and thus far I have created 35 videos. Even though I have produced quite a bit so far, I am still very much the beginner/amateur. Your tutorials have been so valuable in my learning curve. You reinforce that it is all about fundamentals first before breaking rules and so on. Watching this video, my biggest mistake is color grading. I have definitely gone haywire in a few of my videos, so that is something I must improve upon. I'm looking forward to more learning!

[@milesandhikes]

Steve, you are my number one go-to channel to learn editing and shooting, and I have learnt a ton over the past year, and will probably keep learning for years to come. So big THANK YOU! Keep 'em coming :)

[@trueself8954]

I enjoy your videos! No babble just straight to the point. Thank you so much.

[@BrettsThoughts]

I'm in the middle of my biggest edit yet. This video could not have come at a better time! Great tips, Steve.

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Thanks Brett, I hope these tips help with your edit. Good luck my friend :-)

[@Mahadspeaks]

Since the time i landed on your channel, i literally started making notes and learned whole lot of things, the way you explain things, make it easier for us to learn, God bless you, THANKS!!! KEEP POSTING!!! RESPECT, YOU ARE A AN AMAZING GEM! LOVE YOUR WORK!!!

[@JamiedoesWildBikepacking]

Great vid, giving me a few ideas for future vids. When I load my footage, nothing is too precious that I don't feel like cutting it to a watchable length. After multiple views during editing doesn't bore me, then I feel the viewer isn't put through a laboured clip. Hope in turn this results in a growing following. ATB, great vid AS ALWAYS

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Hey Jamie, this is a great mindset to have whilst editing! If I could re-shoot this video, I would add 'TIP 11: Nothing is Too Precious'. Excellent video editing advice, thanks.

[@JamiedoesWildBikepacking]

@@LearnOnlineVideo Brilliant, thanks for your reply, it means so much when a channel as big as yours takes the time to not just like a comment, but reply with a comment that has meaning to the posted message. Keep up the good work, much appreciated 👍

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

@@JamiedoesWildBikepacking You're very welcome my friend. Thanks watching and commenting.

[@MomentsUnfoldTV]

We want to learn more things like this. I really like your teaching knowledge and videos. You have a great skill. Seeing your art makes me jealous 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@EmpoweredTravels]

I love these videos! As a creator just starting out, I can see where I've been making mistakes and how I can take my videos to the next level. Thanks. I'm excited to apply what I've learned here.

[@ScrappersDetailing]

Great video. I’m trying to really improve my videos with some of these techniques. My niche is quite a bit different in how it is filmed but I think I can use some of these. Color grading is a big problem for me because I don’t understand how to do it in premiere. Honestly I just click auto for every clip right now.

[@stewvlogs5084]

This is great advice. It is really going to help me thank you. I used the slow mo editing tool too much in one video and in another I put too many quick cut scenes together. Comments were, way too much slow mo and, 2 minutes of my life wasted. Yeah I’m still learning.

[@HoneyandMe]

A puking rainbow!! Lol! Lots of great tips here, Steve! I have found your videos so helpful in my YT creator journey! A huge thanks! -Sue

[@hedley.bradstone-unbridled]

"Puked on by a rainbow" was brilliant.

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Thanks Honey and Me! Great channel by the way, I've subscribed :-)

[@HoneyandMe]

@@LearnOnlineVideo Thanks so much, Steve❤️

[@englishwithmaria]

Steve, the scene with the two fighters has made my day

[@cleannorganizewithme]

Always learn something new from you. 180 rule is new to me. Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@asiaminddynamics]

I am the first to comment. Hurray! And what a great video :-). Flow state is the one tip which I appreciate the most. Or, is it the one on transitions. Heck, all is good.

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Thanks Andreas, I appreciate your comment. Flow State editing is a game changer and will massively improve your edits. It’s easier said than done but definitely worth ‘Getting in the zone’ as much as possible 💻👌

[@BadMonkeyFinger_Audio]

05:39 That is funny as hell. By the way, I'm very happy to see that you stress the importance of sound and its impacts. Not everyone realizes just how important the sound aspect is, but it's 'make or break'. I've even noticed that good sound can at times make up for relatively poor video footage. You know, as a recent subscriber, I've been watching your vids of late, and I'm finding them very helpful. They're inspiring me to up the ante in terms of my own video production (which I should have been doing already, tbh). I like that fact that they are straight-forward and utilitarian. The examples of techniques, comparisons, et al... all very, very helpful. Great stuff~!

[@lhvost]

Many thanks for such an informative and useful presentation of the material! Although my English makes me sad, but I watch videos with subtitles with auto translation, and what do I want to say.. You explain everything so simply that I just wonder why I couldn’t understand it from other videos before. Wild like and subscription. Thank you!

[@johnclay7644]

great tips, have a assistant (aids the workflow) purposeful editing is a good tip. Useful filmmaking / video content.

[@hassankeeyeditor8815]

Please talk about the new gimbal hohem steady m6

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

I have this gimbal but haven’t had chance to test it out yet. I will do this week and if it’s good I’ll feature it in a future video 👍

[@sloop24]

Simple tips but it surprising that many people don't talk about this stuff. I needed to hear this. Thank you so much!!!

[@judy_inabudhabi29]

thanks for the tips..because of you i was inspired to start being serious in cinematic videography

[@aidd1938]

One of my pet peeves that people do is to add a paragraph of text to a video and not allow enough time for people to read it.

[@TrollMeister_]

It's what the pause button is for.

[@smokingkippers1173]

Nice trolling! 😂​@@TrollMeister_

[@pinToable]

You have some great content! I have learned so much watching your channel. You gotta upload more often!

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Thanks, I’m really glad you enjoy the videos. I’ve been spending a lot of time working BTS on my first online course this year but it will be released soon so more regular content will be uploaded 👍

[@TransplantHelper]

Great video! What plugins are you using for you main point text??

[@HavalKurdistanBaşûr]

Which video editing apps would you recommend for Android? Many thanks 😊

[@papisbigpodcast2268]

Steve, I am trying to download your black bar, and the free LUT, but I am having problems. What do I need to do to fix this problem? I am a big fan of your videos. Keep them coming.

[@monaparko]

Where can I buy the Tripod you are using? Can use Bluetooth as well?? Thank you for watching your videos and learning a lot.

[@dronemagic2023]

Hi Steve, Fantastic tutorials. So I'm about to use your Epidemic sound link , but what editing platform would you recommend? I've been using caput as a complete beginner, but think I need to move to a better editing platform. Thanks for the footage and Tips. John 👍

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Personally, I use Final Cut Pro on a Mac, but this cost around $300 (a one-time payment). I find this program incredibly user-friendly, but with all the professional features. Many others use adobe premiere pro but for me. It is not as user friendly requires a monthly subscription (costing around $30 a month) Once you start to create projects using this program, you kind of have to stick with it as your projects will be within Adobe which you would need to pay for to access Da Vinci Resolve is another great editing program. There is a free and a paid version, my recommendation would be to start with the free version and upgrade to pro once you were happy with how everything works. Hope this helps. Thanks, Steve

[@dronemagic2023]

Hi Steve, Thanks for taking the time to Reply. I was looking at Da Vinci Resolve, so I will now give it a try thanks to your advise. John 👍

[@Bru_Indian]

Thankyou so much sir.... for giving us a wonderful need's video....🥰

[@The-1729]

Fantastic explanation. No nonsense, straight to point , like it

[@Worldgeopolitics72379]

Steve I want to know which one will be best for video editing?

[@MaiElizabeth]

The no 2 is in my opinion the biggest mistake I do and still doing. Glad you mentioned it. I will try not to repeat those silly mistakes. You should get more likes for this video alone. Extremely spot on and useful to be pointed out at.

[@scottwestern]

What do you recommend for stock B-Roll clips? Thanks

[@Finn_Dutch]

Really great tips, thanks for sharing!!

[@tajanakolarec2304]

what camera to yuse for youtube indor? i was looking maybe a action camera? because of the stedi problem

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

I use the Canon R6 for all my talking head shots (with 16-35mm lens). I use this set up as it’s great in lowlight and has a flip out screen. It’s possible to get a similar shot with an action camera but just be mindful of the cameras lowlight capabilities. If you’re using an action camera indoors then you’ll need a lot of light to avoid a grainy image.

[@tajanakolarec2304]

Thank you for the reply,, im planing on starting a chanel and found out that my b roll fotage is wonky like im drunk 😅,, first i thougt of shoting with my mobilephon.. but its a 5 y old model .. will do more reserch 👍🏻

will you please tell me about best android app for video editing

[@黄豆豆-e6u]

I think sometimes when you not use certain music type for some scenes and replace to some opposite emotional music can make some interesting comedy effects....

[@LearnOnlineVideo]

Very true! Always experiment with music, sometime using music that feels the opposite to the visual can work really well 🎵 👌
