As a general rule of thumb, the more chill you make your videos, the older your target audience is.

[@BitsOfInterest]

Completely agreed. It works the other way around too. If you already have an older audience, don't do a hype edit.

Are you saying my friend Casey's audience is old? LOL I feel attacked, because I watch more Mrwhosetheboss than Casey videos. But generally I watch more LTT, JTC and GN.

I love how the golden rule "show, don't tell" is the same in writing and film. ♥️

[@Divine_Knowing_3]

One of the hardest things for me to overcome right now is comparing myself to others and trying to be as good or better. really I should just be focusing on what I enjoy doing and how I enjoy to edit. if I’m always doing what other people want it won’t feel authentic and it won’t last.

[@ThriveTools_Eden]

True, how are you feeling you're doing so far ? :)

[@brian_video_editor]

I recently entered freelancing video editing and I swear to god I have stumbled upon a gold right here. You my guy really made me learn quite a lot for Free I never usually comment on videos whichever platform But I'm in the process of life where I wanna learn to express my gratitude to people like you who provide quality values! I wish I found this channel wayyy sooner haha

[@darian.explores]

I think the most important thing is that you lean into what comes most natural to you. If you are a quieter, possibly introverted person, don't edit like you're a loud extrovert. You'll be unsuccessful and you won't pull in an audience that you relate to. Remember that YOU ARE INTERESTING ENOUGH and embrace that instead of doing what you think you have to, to get views!

[@thedislikebutton1907]

this is the real advice here.

[@Jonnelss]

I love your content. I went from 0 to 3k subscribers in 10 days, because your videos are game changers. I watch your videos daily at this point and study as much as I can about KZbin. Thanks for making what you make!

Rlly?! Wow congrats❤

[@Ashishtariyal123]

What did you do? Can you point out some key things that you changed or did?

I am so so SO happy you made this video. because seeing so many editors think that hype editing is THE only thing to do when it's not

U R Welcome 😉 1. Use text 2. Bring characters 3. Show - not tell 4. Sound 5. Movement

Loved the editing strategies shared in the video! I've been using some of these tips along with boost app social that helps with content creation for my socials. Has anyone else tried it?

Oh yeah! Boost app is dope! It's a massive value!

[@FilmBooth]

Dear viewers I wanted to give you all an update on what's been going on with me lately. As some of you may know, I've been moving around, hopping from one Airbnb to another so that I can travel and exploring new places. The downside of all this is that I'm traveling super light and don't have a lot of my usual equipment with me. In fact, all I have is a tiny light, my trusty camera, and a mic. It's been a bit of a challenge, to say the least! In my previous video and this one, I had to work with what I had, and the sound quality suffered as a result. Unfortunately, Airbnb listings don't tell you how much echo there might be in the apartment, so I've had to deal with some less-than-ideal acoustics. I know some of you have mentioned that the sound quality in my remote videos hasn't been great, and I just want to say that I hear you . I'm always looking for ways to improve and make things better, so if anyone out there has any tips or tricks for remote soundproofing, I'm all ears! The apartment I'm currently in has marble floors and a pretty minimalist vibe, so I can't really hang anything on the walls to help with sound. But hey, where there's a will, there's a way, right? Thanks for sticking with me through all of this and for supporting me on my travels. You all are the best! Until next time,

[@PlayfulCrafts]

Hi Ed! All my voice is voiceover, I must record it separately when the house is silent (when my little son and his dad aren't at home, minutes a week). I record on my bed, so the bed lining absorbs ambient noise. I use a lav mic with my phone, I record as video with the OpenCamera app. I'm not helping sorry 😆

[@RealJustinZiegler]

Dude sound quality sounds fine and i'm at the :40 second mark.

What the hell is syle @ 10:46

@@Krish-10 I was thinking the same thing 😅! ...All I know is that it's a very "stylish" word. haha!! "syle"... classic!

[@Mike_Costello]

The TubeBuddy guys mentioned a audio software tool that removes room echo. The guy who sits on the floor in his apartment and records there mentioned it because his room is rather echoey. He played a on and off version and it made a big difference.

[@Attickk]

retention is not about editing, it's about how you package things!💜

[@MrRic716]

Well said.

[@OffscreenkillVA]

Indeeed.

[@thedislikebutton1907]

So in other words editing? It's the main factor in Mr.beast's huge viewership.

[@judymyers1934]

I feel like today it's pretty easy to be genius on KZbin or any other social media. You can ramp up your numbers using some tools fairly easy. Likes, views, subs, anything you want, and since I have been using one tool I am having almost no trouble to keep up in loop every day (also a little bit of Famester helps along the way as well). Before it was a hassle to keep up with changes in their algorithms, I don't understand why they have to change it constantly...

Legit tactic, I might need to use this as well

[@RodHerzstrom]

Natalie Lynn is pure gold with the storytelleing and vintage cinematic look. Love that girl 👌🏻

[@Falk4J]

At the end of the day it's about being you. It's about being authentic. If the viewers perceive that it's about your passion doing videos how you do them, I would believe that that's the main element to get a certain viewership hooked. And of course different KZbinrs target different types of viewerships.

[@Yoyoadventure]

Exactly!

[@FinanceFlywheel]

Excellent... "Know thyself"... "There are many roads to success"... Thanks for sharing this, James

[@francisbaranski]

Perfect point. A lot of advice is contradicting the other. Two opposites styles say "This is the way" and it's easy to be confused. But you outlined it perfectly, making me calmer that success depends on the right style. And the right style = your style. (I mean - mine)

[@TomGregoryTech]

This comparison format is really interesting. Text, characters, showing, sound, movement. I will plan more of these into my next videos. Great work. This video was hilarious!

[@pampierce]

Impressively amazing! Love how you show the differences when other KZbin teachers just talk about the differences (yes, I'm talking about you, huge competitor with 10x the subscribers this channel has). This is a keeper video if you are a KZbin creator, probably the best I've seen from any of the creator teachers. Thank you, Ed.

[@ocuix]

Love this advice. Focussing on the strategy rather than deploying specific tactics. Bottom line is make videos which are authentic to you and your style (once you kinda work out what that is! LOL!) and you will attract a likeminded audience.

[@MusicAsWeMakeIt]

I'm finding it's about content and what your subs like to watch. It's like figuring out the thumbnail. Editing is definitely part of retention but the hook is ultimately making viewers "turn the page", which is quality and engagement.

[@rahulkamath]

This video was a unique one for Ed. But what styles that he mentioned do you think he used in this video? That’s where the secret is. Use Ed’s videos to pretty much learn everything he teaches, and everything he learns. This guy needs some big time appreciation!

[@emilyesnyman]

He's a good of example of "show, don't tell"

[@BlissOn47]

Gawx art is such an underrated creator. His videos look like they're straight out of a netflix special show

[@DanCreaMundos]

There are basically 2 kind of KZbinrs, the ones like mrwhosetheboss, who extremely edit their videos to make sure you pay attention, and the ones like you, who actually have useful information to say and add less effects because you trust in your own words to be enough. Nice work as usual.

[@jimhalpert0]

I actually respect MWTB and I feel he really likes his audience

[@OffscreenkillVA]

At the same time this is implying that people who edit ALOT don't have anything useful to say, which is IMO a really unfair thing to just assume.

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

This guy edits a shit ton 😂

[@m.hreels9822]

As a professional editor that has been doing this for over 10 YEARS You blew my mind. THANK YOU

[@GrahamMediaLLC]

#5 is where I am struggling developing my channel right now, I love the chill aesthetic, but I also am an absolute psychopath so I feel like my internal self and how I want to protray my channel are at war with each other. That and I'm still getting used to being in front of a camera, not behind it. 😅

[@thehealinghiker]

You should rank yourself with the top editors because you are one of the best in my opinion!

[@giulianogirelli]

I completely understand and agree with the fact that editing has an enormous narrative power in itself. It is the key to the success and failure of many films (I am a documentary filmmaker and have my own KZbin channel). However, I notice that the function of editing is transforming for the worse, no longer at the service of a more engaging and profound storytelling but functional to capturing the spectator's superficial attention, almost stealing seconds from him in a furtive manner and not linked to a truly profound interest. . I don't know, it seems to me that it's important to sometimes give up overly instrumental editing and let the content (always well edited) capture the audience that likes it on its own, just my little opinion, what do you think?

[@JocobsComments]

Yes. I agree. But the issue is KZbin discriminates. And they won’t send impressions your way.

[@zfdfilms]

Great video, watched the whole thing btw. Also I was gonna agree before ou said it, using all techniques and just form your own style is best.

[@guprovasi]

Natalie’s videos are pure art 🔥

[@bushnj8748]

Not only was your video very informative but it kept my attention the entire time without me cringing or wanting to leave, which speaks to you knowing the stuff your talking about. You would be surprise how many boring beginner KZbinrs videos there are out there. I think I am just anxious because I want to just start my niche channel so bad. Sometimes just starting and executing is the most important thing as much people overthink it and talk themselves out of it. My main take away from your video was stick to your audience and grow and build from there.

[@FilmBooth]

Are you team hype edit or team chilled edit?

[@lucaaig]

Hype edit definitely Also I love ur videos!

[@LearnRunes]

Is there a middle team?

[@AsianSwagMstr]

Hey man thanks for everything as ever. I always wanted to know where the best place to find those little clips that youtubers use etc its hard to find everything on youtube itself

[@lorawaloski]

A bit of both. I love doing motion graphics maps, etc, but generally go with more of the chill style otherwise.

[@dudethedude1220]

I prefer chill editing since that will increase the quantity and not only does that mean more experimenting but also more of my ideas and opinions out there. Chill editing also makes it easier not to accidentally steal from anybody’s creation. For example, in one of my videos I just used trailers so that way I don’t have to steal hard worked edited personal gameplay from other people.

[@boneless70]

I dont even want a KZbin channel, byt this guy uses his own points so well i just cant stop watching

Your editing also uses a lot of nice tricks I notice. It's good, I like it.

[@b2bgrowth]

Editing in and of itself can be a powerful narrative device!

[@BitsOfInterest]

You should start by looking at your audience demographics. Older audiences (let's say above 35) can't stand hype edits more often than not. I accidentally attracted an older audience with the topics I cover and my lack of editing skills 😜 I've gotten compliments for not using music, no busy editing and just showing and explaining things they are interested in.

5:04 LOL NICE ONE 😂😂😂 i really learn something useful with this. anyway, can you give tips for viewer / niche that have a reaaally short attention span (average 10 seconds)? my channel is focusing on shorts video, but if my video is passed the 10 seconds safety net, it always perform badly. my strategy for now is just to make sure my video is bellow 10 seconds 😅

[@Asty__]

There is no niche or audience with a 10-second attention span, simply because these people watch movies in their entirety, TV shows and series, and KZbin videos when they are consciously or unconsciously hooked by the content or format or approach they are watching.

[@Konusu]

For those still torn on which editing style you should use, analyze your niche. Look at the average age for that niche, and fit the editing style that bests serves it. Is it minecraft challenge videos? Then moire or less, hype editing is gonna be your choice. Is it a serious survival lets play? Odds are, it's going to be less editing. Look at your niche, and the tone you want to set in your videos. Then, you'll be able to decide which style you'll want to use. I hope this helps.

After years of trying to improve the hype editing of my videos, my most successful videos have been from a recent experiment where I effectively did 20 minute one take videos doing a deep dive into products - it’s what that audience wanted and it took me a fifth of the time to edit!
