I've been dreading editing a Collaborative video with 3 perspectives. The Multicam clip tip is something I didn't even know about until now! Great stuff Sam!

[@zipstix]

Great video Sam! Hope to see more videos around editing gaming videos from you in future 🙂

[@TheTallGuyGamer]

Good stuff Sam! Improving editing is my next goal with my channel as I slow down with video releases and try to maximize the quality (without going overboard and wasting too much time). Tips like these are helpful. Honestly, I appreciate the "text pop" effect the most. That's an easy way to add some visual flair that I haven't been doing.

[@yourdailydoseofsalt9021]

This is wicked man, I really appreciate the help. I've got like 10 different videos on boil and just got stuck with all of them. The music option you showed is especially helpful ❤

[@SamWoodhall]

Happy to help!

[@amandaaplays]

This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve ever watched, thank you!

[@WaywardEko]

Hey Sam - been watching your stuff for ages and believe this is a hugely underserved area on YT. Tons of gaming content, but very little about editing and producing gaming content ... which leads to a lot of poorly edited gameplay! L cuts, J cuts, a second PC for camera angles, music for dramatic flair have been some of my most common. I would also say B Roll for gaming helps a ton. Looking forward to you doing some more advanced stuff on gaming!

[@Arcurath]

Watched quite a bunch of your vids back when I played 7DTD regularly, thought you were a cut above the rest quality wise for sure!

[@WaywardEko]

@@Arcurath Thanks kindly!

[@PayZet]

ohh man, I'll be rewatching this, So many tips in one video on how to be more efficient and more organized. Thanks Sam!

[@JJSEvolution]

You made some super good points in here that I had to re-watch to catch exactly what you showed haha. The major takeaways I found were the How to keep your zoomed in screen centered and How to nest or net zoom effects so you don’t have to redo this every time. Great video thanks!!!

[@estebangardila]

This videos are so informative but you gotta watch them like 5 times at different speeds to really soak it all in because the info goes by so fast hahaha. Thank you for another great tutorial, Sam!

[@capp00]

Very cool information Sam, thank you. Now, since I don't use any of that software, gotta figure out how to do all of that within the software I do use.

[@SamWoodhall]

You’ll figure it out. The video was less of a tutorial and more of a guide.

[@capp00]

@@SamWoodhall Most definitely, and thank you for that :)

[@MissFedor19]

Great video, and super useful tips, continue the hard work! More people should take your advices

[@Pubcrawler644]

Not gonna lie when watching your prep on twitch I kinda thought Mozambique was a cockney slang for peaks in audio haha Great video, Sam. Gonna pick some of these tips up

[@CalmAndCollecting]

I was in on your most recent Channel Critique stream and I really appreciate these tips! I'm going to be trying to consider more of these things in my newer videos. Thanks as always Sam!

[@staceyellis4840]

Great video Sam! I'm really looking forward to applying these editing tips to my videos

[@cozyninjaytcrispychicken722]

1:59 the S cut made my video’s finally flow before the sounded choppy at points

[@RPDevotee]

Good stuff Sam! Learned a few techniques I didn't know about, I always look forward to your videos.

[@IAMSOLID]

best editing channel. I dunno why but its the only ones i can watch all the way without clicking through!

[@JayTwoMedia]

I mainly am a sports videographer/editor, so the gaming space is still new for me. I appreciate all these tips, incredible stuff here!

[@CruXM85]

I‘ve learned a lot thank you, Sam!

[@OttawaWelshman]

Honestly, I wish I knew this stuff 1 year ago. Great video Sam!!!! Really clean production and great info for newer people!! Just feels bad most of it is only a refresher for me :/ wish I found you sooner!

[@mysidia]

This was very useful, I love how you share where things are in multiple editing softwares. Thanks Sam!

[@DragonCrimes]

Amazing tips in the video Sam, great stuff as always!

[@cipela193]

It's been years since I've seen your content! Glad a video came up in my feed

[@GamesWithNobodies]

These were awesome, thanks for sharing! We're new to the KZbin platform and are trying to learn a lot to get better and these really helped. I'm already clicking the next video tagged for faster editing :D

[@Genxade]

This was a very nice well put together video. I throughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

[@smolenbyy]

Thank you SO MUCH for these tips!! I have so many video ideas and some done but not edited and been dreading it because I just don't know where to start. Subscribed!

[@CheddarFox]

Woah. That's a level of editing I have never seen before on this scale, and downloading music as layers so you can compose its intensity!.. that's insane! I Guess its because my favourite KZbinrs have a more simple style due to there extreme upload schedule and editing it themselves. With that said though I do want to do more of that less flashy more grounded stile that they are doing but I do see the advantages of the tips here and will definitely consider more often when to do stuff like this. Especially that music layer trick that's crazy.

[@anaircondicer]

slowly trying to incorporate these in my videos

[@serbrendz]

this is tutorial is what i am looking for the whole time! thanks for the multi cam trick sam..

[@crosscountertv]

Super helpful, thank you!

[@SHivuc22]

You Are Humble sir and I see your all video

[@stickgaming4056]

Great tips. I learned something that helps

[@jellyfishwb233]

Hello! Just came across this video. I have finally decided to do more with my gaming, mostly apex. So I am learning to edit. I have been following Itemp, soxfar, rag tag and jankz, and now you. Trying to soak up all the knowledge here! Thank you for going in to detail, it will help me alot!

[@SavageSquad4Life]

thankyou good sir appreciated learnt some good tips here

[@inkesan]

Great video!! I had been doing some of these tips already, but in much less efficient and roundabout ways, specifically with the text popping and nesting~ I am definitely saving this for reference later. I do wish there was more specific Resolve instructions, but tbh, I'm happy you included any at all! As a side note, your sponsor for this video moved to elgato marketplace (as you noted in the description), and try as I might, I cannot find where on elgato the social pop-up animations are, it seems to now be all overlays and sub alerts for streamers... do the social pops for youtube videos even exist as purchasable anywhere?? If anyone knows I would really appreciate some guidance!!! Thank you :)

[@truxhful]

The music part genuinely helped. Original music got hit with a copyright “partially blocked” and I used just a generic beat and it skyrocketed my views🙌🏻

[@AlmightyJb]

this video was very helpful. showed me a bunch of tricks i'm gonna start innovating into my content👍

[@maplefoxx6285]

pro gamers going to be asking composers to score their clip compilations.. i mean why not, Mr. Beast recently got Hanz Zimmer to score for a video for him, that would not be cheap. I compose music and am a gamer, This might be fun to try for edits in the future, I am just learning video editing now slowly so I can have game stream edits and better shorts, good tips, thanks!

[@YoJRich]

Great Video!! Thank you for sharing this.

[@PaulDespawn]

great video as always. wasnt aware of the compound clips option. That should make it super easy to work on multi-cam footage!

[@JahGamiing]

this helped so much

[@sellenesilvana]

So many great things to know. Thank you, Sam!

[@Blikku]

This video was very helpful! You brought up some very good points that I never considered. Thank you Sam! 😊

[@ShadyFoxGG]

Great stuff Sam! Your videos deserve 100k+ views. I wish more gaming channel would be subscribed to your channel and start creating quality content.

[@Mrgregles]

I worked in VFX for nearly 10 years and didn't know Multi cam clips were a thing.... WELL THEN!!

[@rebellionx420]

This video was a great help, thank you

[@ZenfulHaze]

Thank you ♥

amazing video will be using every tip in this in the future, thank you so much! new subscriber here!

[@rhoskanobi]

Some really valuable tips here. Cheers

[@DonXKalibur]

Love it. Sam always got the best tips.

[@cdplayz]

this should be pretty helpful for me

[@TheBattleStar]

That was a good video with some cool ideas. Thank you for making it.

[@ProtoLeague]

Thanks kindly for the tips love it

[@AzizMakerEXTRA]

Thx

[@SixxTimeDad]

I needed this more than you know Sam. Sometimes I need to be reminded that video editing is easier than I make it out to be and there is no excuse to not start today

[@casedistorted]

I hear ya, I’m about to turn 37 Dad. Need to learn this for my wife and her kids tiktoks and YT stuff they want to do one day lol

[@Sneaky2x]

Sam, you never disappoint, always with awesome and richful videos!

[@HumanShieldz1]

@SamWoodhall great video as ever. I am sure i have seen it in the past, but can you link any videos regarding "L" and "J" cuts. Still dont really understand how they work or how to incorporate them

[@VanquishReaper]

were you editing this video with davinci resolve?

[@casedistorted]

Dang this has some amazing tips in here Sam, and I’m only 3 minutes in what the heck..

[@Gregg2G]

Love the tips. Always top thanks Sam. I have the Ears of a Hawk though and I had to mute and swap to captions because of all the audio artifacting. It happens to the best of us

[@SamWoodhall]

Audio artifacting? I've got no issues on my end and no one else has complained of audio issues.

[@Gregg2G]

@@SamWoodhall Hmm yeah most people are hesitant to criticize their teachers. Heck I was, but perhaps this is just KZbin compression at it's finest again. I've got some AKG K240s that are only about 6 months old just for reference. Not some Turtle beach overpriced garbage or anything. I'm also a bit of an audiophile 🙂

[@dexanexa]

@@SamWoodhall I am not an audio expert myself, but I actually noticed something a little unusual with your audio in this video, and looked for someone else mentioning it in the comments, just to see I am not going crazy. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@SamWoodhall]

I did find some audio issues after your comment! Thank you for pointing it out. Made some updates to my audio set up and this should be resolved in future videos!

[@TerminalLanceGaming3051]

What editing software are you using? (Sorry if I missed this). I’m using (learning) Vegas Pro 18 mainly because I was given a free key from a buddy.

[@Legend_Dale]

i was using clipchamp and for some reason my clips are bad quality while editting but if i watch the clip straight from the file its clear 1080p as it should be so been looking for a new software to use

[@ruffrunnerhttyd3]

Hitfilm Express is a good start for beginners and DaVinci Resolve is good for very advanced editing

[@thei3igtasty572]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

How did he separate the music like that? I’m talking 4:00

Seems they got rid of the "super" feature on the site?

[@kirstenharris6287]

My fiance want me to edit his videos for him and hes asking me to take clips of him just killing, looting, and talking about the game. The issue im having is he wants really small clipc of him looting and small clips of the battle, the issue is the app i have it makes it really hard to move or click on the clip once it gets to small. Whats a good editing app for PC i could get for free or a free trial till he gets paid. Rn im using openshot video editor.

[@EazydayTV]

you know what i thought would be cool for viewers if it actually existed, is your webcam for instance the viewers can see your webcam on the stream and whatnot. but they can pause your camera on their owns terms not actually freezing it for everyone. they could morph your webcam or make your face look funny something like that to where they can physically interact with the stream. idk just something i thought might of been cool if it actually existed lol. or they could put funny hats or funny filters on your face i guess it would be cool if the other viewers could see what their doing also but thatll prob never happen haha

[@Shock3m1]

what editing software is this that you’re using?

[@SamWoodhall]

This is Final Cut Pro!

[@baconburger5840]

what game is this

[@SamWoodhall]

Apex Legends

[@JPole__]

We gonna ignore the shade in the video? “If you’re STILL using Premiere” 🤣🤣🤣

[@MattEatsMochi]

If this is your first time hearing of an L or J cut you wont be able to stop seeing them in Sam's videos.

[@SamWoodhall]

I may overuse them a little bit...

what if I cant good content and everything sucks?

Same lol😂
