HOW I EDIT B ROLL & SOUND DESIGN

[@EverydayFamilyFL]

This may be my favorite PM video in the 2 years I've been watching. This, all of it. The Behind the Scenes, the thought process, the actual timeline breakdown.... All of it... Just Spectacular Peter. From a struggling creator just trying to learn, a heartfelt THANK YOU for this video

[@breaksteel]

Just keep at it. Grind out those videos. Keep improving your skills. I've been grinding out videos for over a year, for the past 6 months its 2 a week. About to break 200 subscribers. Don't let the numbers discourage you. Find the tools that work for you and use them!

[@violahero4life]

Still grindin'?

[@Andrewdeitsch]

15:17 you described this so perfectly. "Little things like that usually go unnoticed. Those types of things take a long time, but they do make those projects a lot nicer. When you put the love and the extra attention into little things like that." NEVER SMASHED A LIKE BUTTON SO DAMN PASSIONATELY AFTER THAT SENTENCE

Please keep making this kind of video! You have no idea how helpful they are. Your teaching style is easy to understand, yet you are teaching very technical topics. Thanks so much Peter!

[@StillIt]

Great work Peter, I TOTALLY apreciate these videos. I really need to do some work on sound design. I have been neglecting it a lot.

[@knabberpause2280]

same. I need to do more

[@corynorell3686]

Like other people in here in the comment section, I think videos like this where you explain why you did things each step of the way is infinitely valuable when trying to learn. Thank you, Peter. On a related note, who else was trying to dissect the sound design of this video throughout the course of the video to try and immediately apply what Peter is teaching us?

I got so excited watching this. Not only because it’s a PM video, but because I felt excited hearing and learning more about sound design, and the process.

[@medredabouaassoul7783]

Hey peter, just a thought: can you make a video about how you created the intro for your videos ?

[@cjdaniels5042]

Please

[@daoquang900]

That's just a template, you can buy and download it and change it with your own footage. Very simple

One of my favorite PM tutorial type videos... seeing the video, with the timeline, with your commentary... Wow. Super generous of you to give such an in-depth look behind the curtain. Thank you!

[@T3GMedia]

Sound design is something I've genuinely been scared of going into, fearing the depths I'll get lost in. This is a great video.

[@JohnnyJamesJamrock]

Yessss...I'm right there with you

[@marcusgrip]

It's fun as hell once you get the hang of it!

[@waynosfotos]

Yep it ads real feel to the clip, but it takes a long time, I use storyblocks, and sometimes you need to make you own sounds, fiddle with them, speed change them and then place them right in sequence with the clip, like you do with music. Peter Lindgren did a epic sound design on a drummer clip he did, check it out, unbelievable work.

[@ASYLUMCUSTOMWOODWORKING]

Peter is taking YT to another level. so many people doing neat stuff and giving Peter the credit for the inspiration. proud to be Canadian!

[@HeyItsTara]

You sir are the king of B Roll!!! At this moment my fiance does my B Roll, hopefully with practice I can start doing my own! 🤞🤞🤞

[@Scojoin360]

I don't think I've ever disliked one of your videos, but as a guy who started in music/audio and has built much of his reputation on sound design, I LOVE this one. It's such an underappreciated art that makes all the difference in the world. You're still killing it brother.

[@Iamsaifsalah]

When you said you love to choose the music first and get inspired by it hit me in the spot because this is the way I make videos first is I listen to music and then I get an idea

[@ForceMedia]

Peter, I think I speak for everyone when I say THANK YOU!!!!!! I've only owned a camera for 3 years and your videos have helped me every step of the way. This video has taught me more in 20 minutes than some courses I've taken. You're the man!

[@elizabethdarla]

This was such a refresher for what I learned in one of my Animation courses years back, except we used After Effects. It felt great to watch, thank you!

[@calototube]

You are my best entertainment (and photo/video understanding) in my retirement. I admire you. I wish I could have been like you thirty years ago. Greetings from Spain.

[@jamesroblee986]

your comment about hearing a track and editing to that track was so on point for me....I can't make a video without music as a template. Thank you for putting it into words!

[@FilmAshton]

SONG LENGTH TIP! If you have Adobe CC, you should take your audio and load it into Audition. Once you're in there open your track in Multi-track mode and right click on the song. In that drop down menu there is a button that says "Enable Remix". Click that. On the left side of your screen you'll see there is a duration option. Drag that to fit your video length and it will MAGICALLY edit the song to fit that new duration. Thanks Pete, for the constant inspiration to grow in video creation!

[@-Dragonfyr-]

18:05 I am exactly the same. I listen to any music track, sfx, whatever, and my mind instantly imagines creating a scenario it would work with. Another great video, Peter. Thanks

[@icedalpha5794]

I am a very new videographer, and I'm learning so much from your videos and other vloggers. Learning about sound effects, and color-grading was the highlight of this video for me. I have many ideas I've written down, however, knowing how to shoot them has been a challenge, so thank you for your videos.

[@TechNuovo]

Some great tips here that we'll try out! Much love Pete!

[@wolvesonfire1]

I like how just removing the music totally sets a different mood in the video. It takes it from emotional to eerie! Love it!👍

[@DavidWeder]

Now these are the kind of uploads I want to see in my recommendations...

[@prairieskycam]

Love these kinds of videos from you! The behind the scenes stuff and your thought process. What you said at 18:10 is exactly what happens to me too. Music and sounds create stories and images in my head. I could watch these videos all day! 👍🏻

[@CAMSRUNCLUB]

This is actually really helpful! Definitely worth having the BELL NOTIFICATION ON so I get to see everything! I appreciate all the content and help you put out, you’ve actually inspired me to set up a KZbin channel and start putting out my videos from my travels and events!

[@ginnywilliams8159]

Yes! Need this video! Always wanted to see how you work it. Thank you so much for helping me with my channel! Love youuuuu💖

[@Paddleheads]

Choosing the music first - I've been finding that is definitely the key. Multiple times, I've gone through editing a video and not feeling inspired and not knowing where it's going or what it's doing but then I find the right music and it's as if someone has numbered all the pieces of the puzzle for me. Sound effects are certainly a spice I need to be adding. As always, your videos rock my inspiration, thanks a ton dude!

Peter McKinnon is living proof that anyone can take an ordinary photo and make it amazing in post editing.

[@kisherefilm]

I stand by my words in saying Peter has been the most influential filmmaker to me on KZbin. This platform offers a lot of talent and we are all spoilt for choice, this means if we are going to invest our time we need to do it wisely. I am yet to watch a McKinnon film where I feel like I have wasted my time. He has nailed it in being both informative and entertaining whilst maintaining a private life. Keep it going Pete!!

[@cedharb1899]

5:10 with headphones thought i was trippin or smthg lol nice vid bro

[@xSF141x]

I really love the idea at 18:05 of starting with the music first. I enjoy listening to different tracks that give off moods or feelings, they inspire me a lot. So starting with music and working around it is a great idea and I'll give it a shot.

I believe he will be part of making a feature length film some day. He´ll just have to commit to one roll at that point. Now he's doing everything, wearing every hat. I guess that is impossible when making a feature length film. But then again now he's teaching. And now I understand how this channel has this many subs.
