Ah, no you spilled the secrets. xD Kidding of course. I'd say your level of editing is higher than a lot of people from our community, I'm not trying to bash anyone and certainly not trying to undermine anybody. Your colour sense is quite developed. You use a mac and that's really excellent for colours, better than windows. Also you put a lot of effort into research, something I'm very lazy about :P Maybe try giving reaper a go for audio editing, it's probably the most complete pro software out there that's free. Sigh, masking and I have a long history lmao, not my favourite thing to do, especially while rotoscoping you have to do it frame by frame xD I don't find it at all strange that you did engineering and work in IT. It's good :D I do all this fundubbing stuff to relieve my stress as well.

[@Meirenyu]

Thank you so much! that's so encouraging to hear, especially coming from you a professional animator 😃 I'm loyal to Mac & Apple and there's that saying "once you go Mac you can't go back" - so true 😂 though I have noticed that the graphics are better than a (standard) Windows computer. Putting 'research' is purely because I'm actually very un-creative! I admire people who have the skill to just envision things and make it happen - my only choice is to plan it out neatly 😅 What's rotoscoping? I find animation super interesting too so would love to hear your explanation of these technical concepts! Okay will give Reaper a go, thanks for letting me know! oh my it looks so professional 😲

[@AvengingArcher398]

Oh wow, thank you so much! I am planning to make some rankings of my own, and this is a nice insight on what it'd be like! Congrats on so many subscribers!

[@Meirenyu]

Please do! did I mention rankings are always my videos to watch 😃 so it would be amazing for you to start trying making them!

[@marij.8642]

Fun ! So interesting to how others work ! 😁 Congratulations with being so close to 7K ! I’m sure it won’t take long until you’re there😍

[@Meirenyu]

Thank you! 🥰

[@arjunabetta4572]

Congratulations for reaching 7K subscribers! Wow tbh, I really appreciate that some people create these kind of videos. Anyhow, I forget that Pinterest does exist lol. I am going to use it on next time because I have been struggling to create a theme that is standard for my videos. Totally can relate with all the engineering things because I do take engineering in my university -although I don’t want to do it but typical Asian parents- Being immersed in too much technical things is nauseating for me. So this is one of the only ways to escape from that XD Anyways, thank you. I hope that I can improve my content better with your help here. I really appreciate it 🥺

[@Meirenyu]

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you found this useful 😌 Pinterest is the best I'd highly recommend it! and haha I don't intentionally create a theme it's just that this is my 'taste' 😀 ohhh what field of engineering do you study? hope to see more videos from you!

[@arjunabetta4572]

Meirenyu Currently I am taking Mechanical Engineering 🤨 I hope that I could create more content. I am trying my best to do so XD

[@Elysianyt]

So this is how the magic happens! 😄 I've said this before, but your videos are truly a work of art - regardless of how embarrassed you are of your older work, I enjoy every piece of it :) Nice to see I'm not the only one getting artwork from Pinterest! Your board seems lovely ❤

[@Meirenyu]

awww that's so sweet! thank you dear 🥰 And can I say, the same goes for you, even though you're new (you're a wonderful addition to this community btw 💕) I'm already LOVING all your videos! If you don't mind, what's your Pinterest board? Would love to check it out as we seem to like similar aesthetics 😌

[@Elysianyt]

@@Meirenyu Thank you so much! That's honestly very encouraging to hear ❤ My board is called "- artwork (disney)", though I must warn you, it isn't nearly as complete as your, as I haven't been saving Disney artwork until I started making videos 😅 Prior to that, I used to get everything from my feed

[@Meirenyu]

​Try typing "kamio" after your searches (not just on Pinterest), so for example "rapunzel kamio" - it's a Japanese stationery brand that collabs with Disney, and makes hands down the prettiest designs 💕 looking at them is like looking at honey! www.kamiojapan.jp/brand-character/disney.html

[@AmberBasti]

Congratz!! I always wondered what the best way was to make multilanguages I love to make them but wasn't very good at it. I am going to give it a try with audacity I think!

[@Meirenyu]

Thank you! hope these tips help you with Audacity - let me know when you do try making a multi!

[@ClaudiaBronte]

Thank you for the "behind the magic" trip, as you may know I love your videos, so this was pretty interesting! I also love and use Pinterest all the time for inspiration, and we have many items in common xD Also congratulations for almost 7K subscribers! Everyone la deserved and I hope you'll get more and more!

[@Meirenyu]

awww that was so sweet dear! and yes Pinterest is absolutely the best 😍

[@natasharomanov7565]

A prototype idea and it was really interesting! Congratulations for your subscribers, I wish you to multiple them soon!! 💞

[@Meirenyu]

Thank you! and glad you found it interesting 😌

[@diokles]

Hi 5 for Audacity! Hands down the best yet the simplest software for audio editing out there imo :")) We have such different way of masking photos in PS though, interesting interesting :o Thank you so much for sharing this, always a pleasure to see what's behind your wonderful videos 🥰

[@Meirenyu]

Your multis seem way too good to be created with the humble Audacity 😆 and haha even though it looks old & clunky, I'm loyal to it! oh I wonder how you do your masking! sure there's heaps of ways though, so it's interesting to see others' methods 🧐

[@abeda.7692]

This was incredibly interesting & enjoyable!! I've always known how useful Pinterest is in many reagrds, but somehow I never found myself diving into it x) Your profile definitely looks inspiring though! A fellow engineer around here; yay!!!! :D Tbh, making multis using Audacity seems exhausting XD Especially when the songs are so long! But I might also be thinking that because Vegas Pro offers a simpler process for editing multis. I knew how to use PS once upon a time (9-ish years ago), but I have no memory of any of the tools mentioned in the video hahah. I do know how much of a treasure it is though; very useful indeed! And lastly, I'll most definitely add these songs to the list of songs I listen to while I study XD so soothing!

[@Meirenyu]

Thank you very much! I'm so relieved you found it interesting & enjoyable - I was afraid it would be like watching a droning engineering lecture lol 😓 oh that's so cool! woohoo! I feel like we are in the minority here, most study languages/arts, which makes sense. Which stream of engineering do you study? :) Everyone has been saying that now about Audacity (I didn't even realise there was a simpler way!) but unfortunately Vegas Pro doesn't work for Mac 🙁 I love the entire Adobe suite! their programs are such top notch. And aw glad you like the songs! this is the type of music what I listen to outside of Disney :') there's lots of playlists on Spotify for those hard study sessions!

[@abeda.7692]

“Watching a droning engineering lecture” - that’s pretty what online learning has been like for the past month >< Tbh I feel that minority only includes the two of us lmao. I study Electrical Engineering; Power systems, machines & control systems are the major focus of the courses I take ^^ I assume you study Computer Engineering if you work at the IT? Listening to some Disney songs while studying is also great indeed!

[@Meirenyu]

yep... 😴 oh wow didn't expect that! I studied electrical engineering too! high five! I thought you would do something like mechanical or civil for some reason. And I've also done those courses on power & machines stuff and didn't like them, networking & computing was what I preferred. But I'm awful at engineering lol 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@abeda.7692]

Woohoooo high five back!! Machines courses are dull indeed.... control systems and power system automation are most likely my favorite! My knowlegde of computing stuff is limited to logic design and microprocessors; while I do like those topics per se, I wasn’t exactly a fan of the courses (which is possibly because of the instructor’s method of teaching those courses). I’m sure you’re not awful at engineering! Sometimes it’s easier to think that you are XD

[@FlamSparks]

Well, I stopped using audacity years ago to make multis because I didn't know these tricks....I think I'm going to try them now, I wonder what's gonna turn out this way 🤔

[@Meirenyu]

Yes give it another try & let me know how it goes! ☺️

[@AnnieFrozenHeart]

Oooh, this was a very interesting video to wake up to! :D Congrats on (almost) 7k ! ❤ Seven is also my favorite number btw ^^ I love seeing the methods and ways people have to edit. Your videos - and channel overall - are so aesthetically pleasing, so it's nice to see what goes inside the whole video making process! I edit on a phone so I'm not familiar, at all whatsoever, with the whole audio waves thing and editing audio that way, but I may take up on these tips if I ever do get a computer 😂 Beautiful video!!

[@Meirenyu]

Thank you so much dearie 🥰 I would say the same about your videos actually, I really vibe with your aesthetic too! and I'm interested to see your methods with a phone editing program (which to this day I still cannot believe you create those masterpieces on your phone 🤯)

[@poisonivyYT]

Oiii that was interesting to see! Doing the audio like that on Audacity looks very difficult and time-consuming, I would lose my mind XD It was so nice to see how you work on your videos, our ways are very different haha. I never considered Pinterest a place for inspiration, but that board of yours definitely looks super nice and inspiring!!

[@Meirenyu]

Thanks! you are definitely one of those people where I'm super curious about your ways for making videos 🧐 it would be cool if everyone made something like this to share & try new ideas :') Do you make your multis on Sony Vegas? I've never tried using that program but I know a lot of amazing videos come out of there! but I also know that I'm too stubborn to switch 😂 which is not a good thing haha. Pinterest is the best! (far better than Deviantart) you should definitely try it if you have time 😌

[@MirkaKaroliina]

@@Meirenyu I once made a video like this but it was in 2014 so times have changed a lot since then 😄 but I still do my videos similarly, just with better editing. Watching this old video now makes me cringe a lot 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWPEeHpqp79oas0

[@Meirenyu]

​@@MirkaKaroliina ohhh I remember watching this back in 2014! actually even now, I don't find that video of yours cringey at all (if you call that cringey, I don't even know what my 2014 videos would be 😂) I think I understand most of the process you showed, but that only works when you can sync up the audios exactly? Anyway, I'm pretty sure you can do edit audio in Premiere too but have yet to try! the result would probably be better

[@MirkaKaroliina]

@@Meirenyu The audio part in that video is okay but the rest isn't 😅 Syncing the audios in Vegas is really easy, that's why I have found it the best program to edit audios. I usually zoom in as close as possible so I can see the audio peaks. You can also move the files so smoothly whereas when I tried to edit audios with Premiere it was a nightmare cause the program is meant for video editing and not audio 😄

[@Meirenyu]

@Mirka Karoliina that makes a lot of sense, yeah Audacity is so clunky and syncing up audios by the peaks - such a nightmare 😂 Okay now I feel inspired to give Vegas another try!

[@MirkaKaroliina]

I have never used Audacity for making multis 🤔 Really interesting video! Gongrats!

[@Meirenyu]

Using Audacity for multis goes all the way back to Windows Movie Maker days ahaha 🙄

[@MirkaKaroliina]

@@Meirenyu damn I remember making multis with movie maker 😂

[@Meirenyu]

Too throwback, now that’s cringe 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Kocisaurus]

As the story goes, the One who will be able to resist the temptation of Pinterestorum will be the worthy King of Camelot... Well, it seems that you can't aspire to that, as almost everyone else fell in the rabbit hole 😂 And I loved how you made the Photoshop part a piece of cake when it's actually AAAAH Hellfire Darkfire Anyway, this was really entertaining: 8 minutes flew by! And congrats for your almost-7000 subs!! 😊

[@Meirenyu]

haha yes Pinterest is one of those things you can unintentionally scroll on for ages 😂 but I think it's a much more wholesome version of Instagram so... :') Masking with Photoshop, sorry to sound so repetitive, but it really does get easier with time! and you'll be familiarised with the tools. For example the tolerance, I can look at a picture and know roughly what number to put. If you ever want any help with masking I'm more than happy to assist ☺️

[@Kocisaurus]

@@Meirenyu Yeah, Pinterest it's just as wholesome as your soft&pretty™ design style! You're one of the people I'd picture drinking from a porcelain teacup while sitting on a puffy sofa in a shabby chic apartment (if you don't know how this style is, check it out on, guess where, Pinterest because it showcases some serious inspiring interiors, and it's no surprise 😆) As for Photoshop, I admit I tried only once back when I was still in middle school and I was never interested in learning how to use those tools and practicing it, but If I ever were to need to use it I'd gladly enjoy your help. ☺️

[@Meirenyu]

awww thanks lovely! sadly no I wish, I'd love to have an apartment (a country cottage actually!) that's furnished with shabby chic though, that's the dream 😍 What about you, what kind of home style do you like? ☺️

[@Kocisaurus]

@@Meirenyu Thinking about my The Sims 4 houses now I'd go for shabby chic, especially if influenced by a beach style; then everything that could make me feel like popped out from a 50s/60s Sci-Fi fiction would be great and I also love the style that mix different textures, fabric, modern styles and patterns, I believe this is the "electric" one! And a traditional-influenced design would also be spot on for me. 👌 All that I know is that, as a low-key compulsive hoarder, I would stay as far away as possible from all the styles in which I wouldn't be really free without turning them into something else, so no Scandinavian nor minimalistic. 😂

[@Meirenyu]

Electric style, never heard of that one - but a traditional Italian cottage would be bliss 😍 I heard that there is an Italian village selling houses for $1 - surely that's a rumour :o ahaha! Scandinavian designs do look so neat & clean, but not IKEA furniture, no thank you 😅

[@ajayrall]

What a great video! I have just started using Audacity and it seems to be cooperating with me at the moment. I do have a question though, being the expert you are, I presume you know how to change the pitch the right amount of semi-tones, right? If it is no problem, do you think you could explain how to change the pitches correctly, please? :)

[@Meirenyu]

Do you mean changing the between DVD and Bluray/original pitch? if so, Effect > Change Pitch > Frequency > +/- 4% It's easier to change the frequency over the semitones, hopefully this helps 😀

[@ajayrall]

@@Meirenyu Thank you so much, very helpful, indeed. After a while of tinkering and tampering, it turns out messing with the semitones was useless haha.

[@Meirenyu]

No problem! technically it's 4.1% 😉

[@ajayrall]

@@Meirenyu Ah, thank you so much :)
