EDIT A YOUTUBE VIDEO WITH ME | music, color grading, sound, final cut pro, b-roll & more

[@amethyststreasures]

I'm no pro KZbinr, but I have been making videos for years and years, I have multiple channels. A little tip of my own, if you finished a video and it's uploaded onto KZbin, I recommend uploading it to some sort of online drive account rather than deleting it. I've heard a lot of horror stories of people's KZbin getting hacked and all of their footage getting removed from KZbin and they no longer are able to access it. For some videos maybe this isn't so important, but especially if you're a vlog channel it could be extremely heartbreaking to lose all of your videos. That way you just have it so even if you don't re-upload it, worst case scenario you still have it for yourself

Well this is a wise advice girl ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ thank you so much 💖

[@karmen1265]

Thank you so much for mentioning this, that's so wild I never knew!!

[@thepragmatist]

I completely agree with this. Get an external drive and save it.

[@thiagogregory1]

videos are really really heavy, so if you're a youtuber, your videos will fill your drive storage really soon even if you buy the max storage, so what do u suggest?

[@RyanKorea]

@@thiagogregory1 use the program Handbrake. It'll turn the video into a fraction of the size with practically zero perceptible loss in quality. I turned a 60gb video into a 1gb video and couldn't even see a difference on my 4k monitior.

[@SeanzViewEnt]

compelling i learned alot from ur edits thanks

[@jessssalemme]

I really want to upgrade to Final Cut now that my channel is starting to gain some momentum, so this is super helpful, I’ve been wanting to watch a video like this!

[@Courtney-Alice-Gargani]

I don't know how to do video editing but I like to watch how people put their videos together. Thank you for sharing this.

[@alexiseldredge]

[@caffeinatedreader_]

Never realized how much goes into editing a video, thank you for a behind the scenes look! 💖

[@BrielleJuliet]

Congrats on the epidemic sound sponsorship!!!

[@katrinhalookca]

This video has given me a whole new perspective on the amount of work just the editing part of creating content is, let alone the filming. I appreciate the passion you put into every aspect of providing us with quality content. Even though I'm not a youtuber I really enjoyed learning about your process, thank you for sharing ❤

[@MG-ji8mt]

I’m loving having videos more often!! 🎉🤗

[@pixiedusteddays]

Thank you so much for this video! It has literally been my reference for learning to edit! I have watched it back so many times!

[@julyssa._p]

Oh my goodness Alexis, I love your process of how you edit your vlogs.. with so much attention to detail and the time/dedication you put into doing this consistently is absolutely phenomenal. Keep up the great work Alexis, this is AWESOME!! 🙂🙏💯

[@agnese72]

One of the best edited videos every week ❤

[@karmen1265]

Holy moly thank you so much for showing us how you edit!! This was so helpful to compare iMovie to Final Cut Pro. I can't. wait to see what other styles you experiment with!!

[@thepragmatist]

I'm starting a KZbin channel and this is very helpful. You're a great editor and I really like how you use music in your videos. All the best to you.

[@Billy33753]

[@Cherurei1109]

Yay! I’ve been wondering about this! You said that you enjoy the editing process, so I’ve been curious about your process. Thank you for this video

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️❤️❤️

[@caytlyncole]

Newbie here, literally exactly what I needed! Thank you! I’ve been trying to edit the same vlog for the past like 3 weekends, because I can’t seem to find time during the week. Long story short, thank you.

[@BilingualCoco]

I've never watched anyone edit a video but I loved this! I'm going to start blogging soon and I'm so glad you shared the music and color grading resources! Will def be using them.

[@thatgirlthatgrows]

I always love your style of videos and it’s so interesting to see how you do it! Thanks for sharing!

[@Celinelikedion]

[@alexiseldredge]

thanks for watching! ❤️

[@JoshRazauskas]

I’m a fellow editor and I’m newer to Final Cut after switching over from windows so I’ve been watching other people’s editing workflows, and I have to say you did a great job, explaining how you put yours together! I was curious about a couple of things. What did you use to actually record the screen and how did you get the really nice circle for over laying yourself over your edit?

[@daviddaviedavidson]

One for the algorithm. 🎉

[@jadeeeeemily]

Oooh so many good tips! Going to make my life a lot easier with the pre saved settings in Final Cut! Thank you so much for sharing 💕

[@LSChestersMom]

[@anulaluna]

Thank you so much for all this information. I take so long to put a video together and you've totally inspired me to get a different perspective. Also, about working off an external harddrive. Also, I love your vibe! 🩷

[@rodyinjapan]

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT!

[@Jibril_Abdulkadir]

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Good job, Alexis!❤

[@Williamhand436]

I enjoyed the video this was fun to watch Alexis

[@lexyeliserichars]

This was exactly what I needed 😌🙌

[@jeanniepeters6917]

That was so informative and so helpful!

[@cooking_the_books]

Thanks for sharing this! Have you always used Final Cut to edit your videos, or did you start out on iMovie? I've been using iMovie for the last couple of years...trying to decide if I should make the switch.

[@mzzbevcreates]

What do you think about music with vocal singing? Am I the only one who hates it? It's like the KZbinr is making me listen to their taste in music and I'm usually not in the mood for it. I watch a lot of crafters/artists vlogs and quite a few of them use singing as their music. I usually mute it but then they quickly come back on and start talking again. It's a back and forth game of muting and unmuting and I'm actually getting really tired of it. I hope this phase goes away soon! What do you think?

[@michaela3874]

Great concept for a video! 🎉

[@AngelaMaryMagick13]

👏 👏 so good! Thanks so much xo

[@thecrazyToolfan]

I saw "guide to music" and saw this sponsorship before I clicked on the video.

[@audeliajeanine]

[@rhensb]

[@alexiseldredge]

🤍

[@monicamourad]

thank you so much for this video

[@Jessamine90]

It's a great video, thank!

[@reapersphantomofhell]

Me known understanding when you say “I’ve been editing this video for 4 hours”…me I’d be like I’ve been editing this video for 3 months, you’ll see it soon. 😂 You have mad skills.

[@ruebennomura9143]

Wow you did good on how to edit on KZbin

[@GroovyKnees]

Thank you so much for sharing your secretttssss

[@alexiseldredge]

❤️❤️❤️

[@VideoGameRoom32]

I edit different from you in FCP. When I trim a footage I use the Event Viewer using "I" mark to in and "O" to mark out the footage than I add it to the timeline. I like two monitors. One for the Source and one for the Timeline to watch the footage. KZbinrs edit in FCP, Davinci, or Adobe Premiere. But I like to edit in Avid Media Composer. Have you tried to edit in any of these software's?

[@MrCookie710]

I love your background music. Do you have a Spotify Playlist, with all the tracks? :)

[@alexiseldredge]

it’s all through Epidemic sound! I’ll have to make a playlist soon and share it with all my favorite sounds!

[@HeyitsDeirdre]

I wish I new how toed I have Final Cut Pro

[@HeyitsDeirdre]

where do you get your music from

[@alexmak97]

What software do u use to record this video?

[@MelanieJosephine]

How can you edit on the hard drive? I don’t understand this

[@JoJoEdits]

That’s not an external hard drive! It’s a solid state drive! There’s a difference 😂😭

[@tinaw.6178]

recommendation: edit using headphones. then you will hear the static/hiss that made me unsubscribe. i came back hoping the audio was finally addressed but alas :/ edit: okay i got to the audio portion. so i have to say, i appreciate you taking the feedback into consideration, but you still didn't get it solved. i don't watch your vlogs so i never heard anything there. in my very uneducated opinion it's because your camera/mic is so far from your voice you have to turn that up sooo loud to hear your voice? again idk.
