About Shameless Maya
"What would happen if I shamelessly promoted myself for 365 days?" My channel started out as a social media experiment, and now it's a lifestyle. I hope my journey from shame to shameless inspires you and others not to be ashamed of who you are and to share and celebrate that shamelessly. Here on my channel, you'll find videos on lifestyle, inspiration, fun transformations, techie vids for aspiring geeks, beauty, fashion, and so much more.

[@royalsenrich6552]

Lowkey Jane ❤

[@hiimamara]

i've been editing for a long time , and i can really appreciate this video . because it just reassures me that i need to stop being lazy, im not the only one whos doing this . thank you boo

[@ETANI83]

me too, I always be feeling like it's easier for others than me...I can see everyone has the same stuff to overcome ie...laziness.

[@BriaVerina]

Before I even watch the video I want to say THANK YOU! No other youtubers say how they edit their videos or what they use because they think it gives them some sort of edge over the smaller not so popular youtubers or something. I don't know... But anyways, thank you for not being selfless. you're awesome! Wow, I'm so excited to watch! :D

[@DelsOgun]

You say shameless, I say selfless! Thanks for this video Maya, very very useful! x

[@legacy2k1]

This video helped me get an A+ on my video pro class thanks so much i love you a fan since day

[@legacy2k1]

Thx keep being shameless

[@legacy2k1]

You really commented a whole year later to say something is fake you no way in knowing....this is what makes the internet fucking annoying is you ignorant ass trolls

[@yetundemitchell]

I have to honestly say you have one of the most informative channels on KZbin when it comes to sharing your knowledge. I thank God for you and all of your help :0)

[@aruytpadyugf]

wow this amazing. By far the best tutorial. Thank you so much Maya!

[@MissDarcei]

Thank you for this! I do not have Final Cut Pro but when I get enough money I will definitely invest in this

[@s4ify]

did you?

[@DebErney]

Lots of information, very cutely presented. I've watched a few of your videos and you always seem to be having a blast.

[@ShanellePersaudMUA]

Maya, You are soooo selfless. You give sooo much. Youre not selfish about your skill at all, your lighting video and photography videos help me so much and this one has as well!! I bought the ring light you suggested and its wonderful! Thanks a ton and keep being the wonderful shameless that you are! xo

[@BeeUtifullyMade]

Maya, you are such a doll for sharing such awesome tips! Looking forward to your lipstick vid! :)

[@TheHershee]

You're so humble! Most YT ppl wouldn't dare share this for whatever reason. Thanks & i don't even have this program!

[@mikaoliveri]

I don't usually comment on here, but I had to thank you for the super considerate and helpful links. You always go the extra mile, Maya. Subscribed! :D

[@RemediosJTongol]

Just watched this right now. I edit the same way. I always watch from the beginning over and over again just to make sure the footage goes to the beat of whatever I choose. I have not started a KZbin channel yet but have been thinking about it. I'm a filmmaker and wedding videographer but I'd love to a lifestyle channel including makeup tutorials too. You've been one of my inspirations and I always look forward to watching your videos every week. ;) Much love from LA.

[@RemediosJTongol]

I sure will! And I'll get to hashtag #beshameless :)

[@KelyrinYourSafeSpace]

This was sooo cool, I needed this video !! I look forward to the video about music, because when I edit my videos I look for houuuuuuuurs to find a music that suits to my recipe... And it's very very frustrating !! Thank you so much for sharing what you know :)

[@shiriisy]

I've waited for so long for a guru to give a tutorial on how they edit their videos. I AM SO THANKFUL RIGHT NOW

[@shaaanxo]

Super helpful :) I need to look at more features on iMovie haha I WANT BOKI! :P

[@riteasrain]

Snapping is great. It's surprising how much I use it. Always nice to see how other people do their vids :)

[@abbieamavi]

I still have so many questionssss but this video was super 🌶

[@jouelzy]

Yaaay, this was great! You can copy + paste your title from previous movies

[@PiecesofNika]

Awesome video!!! I'm so glad you shared your secrets with us!! You're grown out blonde has turned into ombre`!! Cute!!!!!! Thanks for sharing! xoxo!!

[@lissawatchesyoutube]

Thank you so much. I've wanted to start a KZbin channel for so long, and had no clue where to start. These series of videos have helped so much.

[@buanyohanda6168]

You know what?? Your AWESOME!

[@KaleiLag]

I edit to music too! I edited music to a lot of videos so it's the only way I know how! It also keeps my videos under the 7 min mark. Hehe! LOVED this, LOVED those headphones and you! Always sharing your amazing skills! Huge influence to me girl!

[@Mizosoop]

I am a tech geek, so gadgets, apps, and I used to teach Hip Hop. I love dancing. And I'm a designer and writer. Lol. I gotta' get Final Cut Pro. This Adobe transition is driving me crazy. I have yet to switch to the subscription. Thanks for the tips.

[@Mizosoop]

Lol.

[@trentongurltrusdale9204]

I think it's really nice how you show the process of taking photos and of editing. I'm going to turn my nephew on to your channel. He gets all geeked up about this.

[@mrsbeautyosauruslex]

I have how you said that there is a lot of self involvement involved, haha! I just started making videos and get sick of editing because I have to hear my voice over and over, haha :)

[@abeershauk]

Saw this months ago, and had totally forgotten the channel name. Was only able to remember the "yo home girl.." and random facts about your ethnicity/childhood. Needless to say, after a plethora of random keyword googling I am here, an official subscriber, and hope you continue to make more exciting editing/how-to tutorials. We all know you tubers get paid, but still, so grateful for the helpful content. Thank you Maya! x

[@musi109]

Do you film things in chunks or as one big ongoing long film that you then split in to parts and then edit as was done here? I just don't understand if you have to film things in separate parts or if you can just film for an hour straight for example and then proceed to divide?

[@shamelessmaya]

musi109 oh it depends, but i usually film in small bits. the longest i'll film is 10mins straight but that's rare...usuallly when i'm talking straight to camera like in this video

[@kitty-em7de]

What computer do you use?

[@MegaSole85]

+JoeGamer 360 It looks like Final Cut Pro

[@oneliamoreira32]

+Sole Fab op

[@41cookiesbabe]

+jocyfromwalmart its a mac

[@DamonAndJo]

The key to life is to have fun! I love this!

[@AmberHelena]

is there any other editing sites that doesn't need mac or apple computers?

[@LegacyBuilder2024]

Omg i love this girl! Always good content and a joy to watch. You go girl!

[@amirahgourde]

So if you use music by Beyonce how on earth will you be able to ask?

[@annarasmussen9197]

OMG exactly my question, I love Beyoncé but how Dafuq do I use her music?

[@Beautybydora]

Anna Rasmussen u can use like a cover someone did of her music

[@LOLODAMOURR]

***** if you get the remix you nees the permission of the person who did the remix?

[@LOLODAMOURR]

thank you that's really helpfull

[@Ebonybeauty20]

I geek out on Photography, music and getting the latest games via Xbox360..I love you videos! You are my inspiration!

[@SeanaSparkle2]

how long does it take you to get a video edited? I been filming and editing now for the past 5 yrs and I even go to school for it now, but it takes me so many hours to get one video edited. I put so much time into it. It's fun but the editing takes so much time. I had a video project for school and I was so behind because i took so much longer to edit my video than everyone else. Although I did feel that my video was edited a bit more professionally than everyone else's lol, but hey

[@AnoniMArtShowPhotography]

***** make videos in smaller rezolution ... like 720p ... and export it at the same ... keep audio at 128 kbps ( for youtube is enough ) ... and export AVI or Mp4 ... Also depends of your pc performance ... the rendering takes a lot of time ... try to use another software ... Adobe Affer Effects ... or Adobe Premiere ...

[@ModMINI]

DeeJay AnoniM It's not the export/rendering that takes hours, it's the actual editing and creative work - sorting through all the footage and making artistic decisions.

[@TheDrumergod]

DeeJay AnoniM is adobe affter effects a good software to edit videos for youtube?

[@ITSDXINX]

yes! it takes me 9-16 hours to edit!!!! sometimes i do it over the course of 2 days lol

[@Shineldove]

Same. I have so much respect for youtubers now that I started my channel.

[@johnmaldonado5520]

I've been obsessed with you Maya, can't stop watching your super entreating videos.

[@ChantalTheeDoll]

Shameless you are sooo positive. I've gotten some bad news and your videos truly help me

[@victoriachantelle9897]

Thanks for this video... I really needed some help when it comes to lighting.

[@tyratakes1]

thank you so much.. i use this software in school but i learned a little more from this video..i also love how you help us instead of hiding it because you dont want anyone "copying", i hate youtubers who are like that.. love you maya

[@solelysentials]

This vid was so useful Maya, thank you. Thanks for taking the time out to share - final cut here I come. Can't wait to vamp up my channel x

[@sarabham3309]

[@queenkezie1770]

Your Tech Talks are SO helpful it's womansplaining and now I feel super prepared to start my channel

[@justgirly09]

I've been geeking out on anything to do with photography and videography I really want to start getting into it either as a hobby or work watching your videos have been helping thanks maya :)

[@10v34b13]

when you started singing over the beat i was jamming right along with you! lol You're so awesome, fun, and EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE! i cannot stress that enough because some videos will speed through and I'll get lost and give up. So glad i found you girl :)

[@tiffanyjean110]

I geek out on running, I run when I'm stressed or frustrated or even when I'm overwhelmed with excitement, I'm on a soccer team and cross crountry and run a lot every day:)

[@MsRoshPosh]

Thank you for this video Maya...I'm switching to a Mac so this is really helpful

[@Angela-ny9di]

It is really awesome how your teaching your techniques, as I had to teach myself editing. I wish I had this video a couple of years ago but I love how your sharing the wealth.

[@Sarah7MUA]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. As well as being helpful to those who use such tools, I hope it also makes certain people (who criticise and bash youtubers for the tiniest details) realise how much time and effort goes into making these videos.

[@nikkhalia]

I geek out over smart phones. Love watching phone reviews, learning about the hardware and software and specs

[@xoxreese]

So useful Maya! Keep up the good work boo.

[@Lifegemswithslm]

I love editing!! Its a tedious process, but that finished product is all worth it. Somtimes there is a vision in mind, other times you just get it as you edit the footage. Just got the urge to edit something lol. Great work.

[@phedorahdouyon5425]

I am very interested about photography and I am glad that I can learn a lot of things from your videos. I love all your videos, you are such an amazing inspiration for all the people out there. I extremely admire you and thanks to your video I am a better person and I more confident to confront my fears and my dreams. Whenever I feel down I will go expecially on KZbin to watch your videos. I love you and thank you again for being so kind.

[@NatO-lg1mi]

[@chandraredd4229]
