How I Edit My Videos

[@robertc.9016]

Ryan actually edited my wedding footage back in 08! It was kind of weird how he replaced all of the footage with clips of himself talking to himself though

[@RCassinello]

But for an editor of his skills, it was super easy.

[@MrEvers]

[@FerroMancer]

Hello, hi there

[@madalinam6183]

Same.

[@caspiansfriend]

try it. It's awesome! a super cool way to get in on the story telling thing. I have been into it for a while, and even quit my "day job" to do it more. The amount of free editing tools out there is crazy. More than just Resolve. Resolve has become my tool of choice, but there are easier tools for starting out.

[@georginatoland]

I hate video editing so much I do everything in one take. But Ryan makes it sound super easy, barely an inconvenience.

[@j42productions]

Highlight all clips with gaps > Sequences (on top bar) > close gaps. That changed my life. I know you said you dont care to know but once i learned that I vowed to tell everyone I know. Ive done that so now I'm telling you (who I don't know)

[@notyrpapa]

Thanks, also edit in Premiere and this is useful. Like Ryan, I just cbf to look it up

[@EMurph42]

This channel is really kicking butt, which gives me faith in humanity. I am so happy I’m not the only one whom enjoys behind the scenes stuff & seeing this side of you. “….Revised” is a special kind of awesome & an interesting precursor to this. Keep up the awesome Ryan.

[@EditingByAndrew]

[@SomeUniqueHandle]

wow this process is so streamlined im obsessed with the time saving

[@estefencosta1835]

I'm just proud I understood everything he was doing based on my own somewhat limited video/audio editing experience. He does it so much I'm sure the time optimizations like programmable mouse buttons end up being a big deal.

[@caspiansfriend]

for real!! I have two mice like his, a little bit older. But still, I'm looking at that and (palm slap! ala Jean Luke Picard) I am so inefficient compared to Ryan... er.. George... or is it... oh, anyway! that dude! 😎

[@yan-amar]

@@caspiansfriend Oh nice! I have a little rat, but it doesn't edit videos yet.

[@breathingunderwater]

Ryan. George. Seriously. This is a game changer for me! Though I'm sure I could've figured it out on my own eventually, I'm an old school editor like you (I started with Final Cut Pro 4 back in the early 2000s) and up until now (like, today--after watching your video), I've been manually editing out all of my pauses, which, for like a 2 hour podcast recording, took me hours/days/weeks/eons. But with your helpful tidbits, it's now super easy, BAREY AN INCONVIENCE!!!!! Seriously. Thank. You.

[@IndelibleAndy]

Seriously, your well hasn't run dry. It's impressive the amount of quality content you have produced. I do think the demand for an in depth look at humans pooping like dogs would be very high, and it could get you that elusive IDA Documentary Awards ... um award.

[@BillAngelos]

I love how when I made videos a few years ago the editing was 4-5x longer than it actually was to record the video.

[@estefencosta1835]

Depending on your source material editing can take waaaay longer than filming. I made a couple mini-documentaries in college and when you're not dealing with a script and know exactly how you chronologically expect a video to go sorting through hours and hours of footage and hundreds of photos to cut into a 15-20 minute video is a lot of work. In that sense workflow hacks aren't necessarily going to save you a huge amount of time compared to the time you spend choosing and organizing what goes in and what stays out, then iterating on that until you get something you like. It's a lot of work but I loved doing it.

Holy crap, you edited on flat bed?! What a relic! I was in film school back in 2002 through 2004. My class was the first at my school to transition from editing on a flatbed to using advid. The first half of The semester was on the flat bed in the second half was on the computer. After that semester, they switched the entirely to non-linear editing. Even when we shot on film, it was sent to a lab in digitized. A former student bought one of the flatbeds for nostalgia sake. But that's cool that you got to use one! Really makes you appreciate our current technology.
