[@toniesolomon]

Hey think media is there other website like epidemic sound without the subscription price tag

[@ndinfos2466]

Merci c’est gentil 😊

[@iggyblitz8739]

This is all great, but would love a more technical idiot proof step by step of the editing process so I literally know which buttons to press if you don't mind ?

[@Africanhome7235]

🎉

[@somycolleaguescantfindme]

Tough times don't last, but tough people do. For those who think they are stuck, just keep going. You got this

[@lexiconlover]

thank you

[@seancannell9003]

Yes! You Gotta Just Press Record

[@ThinkMediaTV]

For sure! Tough people last, they are comprised of the tough situations they went through. You got this!

[@KarlaAfterDark]

Thank you!

[@nicoleellie]

Needed this🥹 thank you

[@MariaAndersenCrypto]

Editing is a long process, especially if you’re a beginner! Don’t stop guys!🚀🚀🚀

[@seancannell9003]

Don't Stop !

[@ThinkMediaTV]

For sure! Its a lot process, but its worth it for sure!

[@lowlowseesee]

that name is hilarious

[@berenice072298]

It is 😭

[@authenticallykyle]

I won't! Totally get how that initial learning edit curve can be discouraging but time will increase your skills

[@RealQuietOne]

Thanks for the info! I've learned to not beat myself up when I make mistakes or when something didn't turn out "perfect". I try to see everything as a learning experience and go from there 😊 I get the "big" edits done first... The not-so-fun stuff completed, so I have something to look forward to when I'm done with the "boring" edits 😄 Good luck, everyone 😀

[@ConsciousVee]

Your video just solved a huge issue I was having.. THANK YOU. I watched 30+ videos.. and your 1st step seems simple and basic.. but dayum.. it saved me.

[@spanishblueprints]

I really like the idea of adding clips from your video to the beginning of the video! I use to think it would be too hard and require amazing editing skills but it only takes 5 seconds! Thank you!

[@sumdaybecame2day]

OMG! You started the video out with all of the emotions. You put me at ease out the gate. I appreciate your channel.

[@GardenHands]

This was a great overview, even if it's not your first video! Going through and cutting out the extras really helps. I try to do it multiple times.

[@ithinkaboutthings9052]

That’s definitely something I feel I need work on.

[@jhopperboi]

I'm literally watching this for the first time, new equipment. Butchered my first video so bad that I've had to resort to looking up this, I hope that this will give me the confidence to overcome my insecurities on making videos.

[@rubylimey7614]

I feel your pain...its a lot to learn🙏🙆

[@nepalisite]

I think step 8 - color correction should be towards the beginning, after you put your clip on the storyline (before you split the main clip). That way you don't have to adjust each clip later. I know you can just copy the attributes and apply to sub-clips, but can be cumbersome if you have many sub-clips.

[@malaysiaaunyia]

Agree with this !

[@OliverHoffman-wd4pi]

You are right

[@SloRush]

A great fix if you forget to do this in the beginning is to 'Nest' all trimmed clips in the time line and then you can color correct everything at once. Its also non destructive to the edits you've made.

[@SpanishWithLiliana]

Thank you so much! This information is great. It is overwhelming when first starting out especially since I don't have any previous experience on editing. Thanks for the vid!

[@Bobex63]

Thank you for the sound tip - I wish more creators followed your recommendations! We usually watch KZbin on our TV, with soundbar and subwoofer. In a Condo. I can't count how many times I've either quite out of a video to save the work from switching back to the TV speaker. Especially for the bass on 'urban' music. Sounds great in a car, on a phone, but not with good TV speakers w/ Subwoofer!!!

[@TheJFam993]

Thanks so much! I have some trouble editing my videos and after watching this helped me so much! And for beginners don’t give no matter how hard it is just keep going!

[@karatjuicepodcast]

These videos are so helpful and have helped me immensely this past year. I always learn something new from these breakdowns. Great vid with helpful info !

[@Shayla_Joelle]

Thanks for watching ! Good luck with your channel! - Think Media Team Member

[@OliverHoffman-wd4pi]

I’m going through that right now

[@RealEstateIndulgence]

Extremely helpful video, thank you very much. Will put some of these into practice!

[@malaysiaaunyia]

Also if you have an iPhone but not a Mac book and need to transfer footage you can Mail drop the video to yourself by emailing yourself (when the file is to big it will say mail drop) but if you edit on your phone (iPhone or android) VLLO and InShot are great for editing and have amazing features like green screen add your own music pip vip etc plus nice filters

[@simple_naildesigns]

Great tip! Are VLLO and InShot free editing apps? I’m currently using my iPhone and edit on iMovie.

[@Iliveforpancake]

CapCut also works well.

[@portsidedestinations7315]

This is exactly what I needed today!!

[@meLinhoTV]

Just another great video! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 🇧🇷

[@lenurbatalov6445]

Bro sending a lot of love. I’m begging and you help me a looooot. May you be happy

[@Socheatkhusa]

Thanks so much for the tips, you make me feel like I go in the right path now...🙏🙏🙏

[@OhJennifer20]

It’s like you all were reading my mind! I have moved from editing on iMovie on my iPhone to editing on DaVinci Resolve on my laptop! I have been looking for videos to simply explain in what order to edit in. For example, on iMovie, I know better then to add text until the very end after making all my cuts otherwise I’ll end up with issues if I notice I need to add things later! I would love to find a video that breaks this topic down a little better! I found one on how professionals do it with a team, I need one like that, but for someone working solo! Breaking down the timeline, like Video 1 for your A roll Video 2 for your B roll, Audio 1 for mono/dialogue…. Thank you all for everything your doing!!! Thank you!

[@SouthernRedOnline]

I love the “coming up” idea, I’m going to have to try that

[@TheCreativeIncomeLife]

Keep up the great work Think Media! Let’s go!

[@michaelakenworthy6317]

Brilliant video and so informative! Thank you, this was just what I needed right now! 🙌

[@gammaechofoundationproductions]

Hey Nolan, thanks for this video! 👍 I've been editing for a few years and even though I have already been using the same video editing tips you've provided, I still find them refreshing. I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber and friend! 😎

[@ANYAlasanya]

Tips #4 and #9 are crucial!! Sometimes, I re-watch my videos again even after exporting and still find things to fix 😅 That's probably the perfectionist in me but it doesn't hurt to check several times. Also, helps to ask someone else watch it before you make the video public :)

[@africanprincessrams]

This is really helpful my dear, thank you so much for sharing with us this amazing video

[@theedonn]

thank you so much for this tips!

[@MariahFlipsFurniture]

I just want to say, your video was by far the clearest and most helpful tutorial. I’ve watched! I’m finally uploading my first video tomorrow, and following your step-by-step tutorial was a huge help!!! I’m definitely subscribing, and I need to binge your other videos!

[@TheGrandUnboxing]

Saving this for this weekend. It’s not my first video but I’d like to learn a better way

very helpful

[@sasha_nivar]

4:48 love this! 😁

[@chrispel84]

Dude I felt like you were describing my life at the start...parents migrated from Spain to Australia and only spoke English at home in fear I would be 50/50 in each language. If only they knew our minds are like sponges when we're young and that's the best time to learn languages. I recommend "language blend" to learn Spanish...for $10 a day or less you can have 1 hour convos with a native everyday...best way to learn IMO. Good luck to everyone on their language learning journey!

[@reign6409]
