[@basilks]

[@electrusmagnitus550]

Ivana Alawi. She's a Filipino-Moroccan Vlogger.

[@DannySabraArt]

Did anyone else notice how he literally used ALL of those editing tricks in THIS video? Pretty slick :)

[@shutterbuginfinity]

Yes

[@nolanmolt]

I did, glad you noticed! 😆

[@liebethegoldenmalinois]

Yes pretty Slick.

[@ChristianChoreowithChrishendo.]

Lol right

[@IevaKambarovaite]

This was so freaking good that I subscribed without even being asked 😎

[@JamesKerLindsay]

J- and L-cuts can make a huge difference. I have taken to using them even on a talking head video. It picks up the pace enormously but eases the transition as compared to jump cuts, which can seem really abrupt.

[@GrowYourWealth101]

For anyone out there who don't feel confident enough. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Don't let others define the world for you. Get up and grab the opportunities. Have an awesome day! 🙏

[@GrowYourWealth101]

@Amritsar English Academy Thank you my friend! 🙏

[@zenandtwowheels]

Amen!

[@JenniferMowan5]

I'm definitely going to try some of these tips. My channel has been gaining new viewers very slowly. After I hit 100k last November I've been at a standstill. Thanks for the tips

[@CamilleTylerbrand]

Me too

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Same here.. growth was fast and consistent until I hit 100k. then it slowed to only about 800 new subs a month and some months my count actually went backward. it makes no sense.

[@unreleasedcontent9316]

I made a KZbin channel cause i lost my job wish me luck!

[@femkebeernaert]

Jennifer, I checked your channel out. The thing I noticed that might be limiting your subs is that you have completely US focused titles. Your video's might be of interest to me but that focus on shop names that I don't have where I live... it's difficult to get non-US citizens past that. I hope this might be helpful for you. Good luck with growing on YT!

[@romeored901]

Close to 40 vids and only 3 subs... something isn't right!

[@CamberFilmSchool]

Don't forget that they most likely use editors as well. It's amazing how many of these little things that you might never think of can be added by someone else who is looking at your footage without your preconceived ideas of how you want it to go.

[@nolanmolt]

Very true!!

[@oregonhomeswithmariahcrawford]

Yes so true!!

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

The *ONE* thing that most people underestimate when making videos on KZbin is engagement. When you talk in front of a camera, you want to be genuine, friendly, and likeable. If you aren't these things, practise talking in front of a mirror to improve your charisma because it's crucial when wanting to build an audience.

[@GreatAmericanNosh]

Have to get through the nerves to let your personality shine through

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

@@GreatAmericanNosh Exactly! My first few videos were so poorly done but it shows how far I've come. We all need to understand that it's always gonna start off bad. Once you know that, the rest becomes easy! 🔥

[@GreatAmericanNosh]

@@ThreeTwentyTech It is getting easier to edit them now but it does take time and it can't be rushed. I am learning!

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

@@GreatAmericanNosh That's great to hear! I used to be so slow and horrible and editing but after a year of doing it, I've learnt the ins and outs and have developed a much more refined process! How is your channel going?

[@doomdrew4772]

This is the main thing for me, as soon as I hit record I start stuttering, blinking, lots of umm and errs. Going to start practicing talking to mirror and hop no demons get summoned haha

[@somycolleaguescantfindme]

Every pro was once a beginner too. So if they can do it, SO CAN WE. To those who just started out, keep creating and trust the journey!

[@JayJanePhotography]

These are really UNTOLD SECRETS since almost every beginning KZbinr just cut the video and audio together and don't have any idea what an L cut or J cut is!

[@Chandler-Lyles]

If story is king then editing is queen. You've got to have great core content BUT if you can't trim the fluff away from that thing and make it make sense then you'll never take off.

[@LihimSidhe]

great analogy!

[@SweetAustaTv]

Wow! One camera 3 shots in one open scene. The power of music, L and J cut. Thanks for all these amazing tips. I need to inculcate all these into my videos.

[@SuperCars-World]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ2qlpWrabCjrbM

[@GMAceM]

It’s funny how a lot of people think content creation is so easy and don’t realize all the editing that goes into it. It’s like “oh but it’s just a 5min video” but yeah there’s probably 24+ hours of editing on that video lol I’ve been working on trimming the fluff from all my videos, making them get to the point faster and removing the umms and ehhs so that way it’s much more seamless. I also love adding sound effects whenever possible. It’s all been a learning experience but I feel like I’ve definitely gotten much better along the way. It would be great to see some analysis of MKBHD!

[@GreatAmericanNosh]

I am learning that for sure!

[@zenandtwowheels]

Yep editing takes longer then recording!! About 3 times

[@LisaCulton]

24 hours of editing for a 5 minute video is excessive, though.

[@GreatAmericanNosh]

@@LisaCulton about 4 hours for me

[@LisaCulton]

@@GreatAmericanNosh that's about right

[@fromdonwithlove]

You can double click the audio waveform to expand it and create J and L cuts without detaching the audio. With the expanded audio, you can trim the video without trimming the audio.

[@TuomasKivioja]

Holy damn this video was PACKED with quality advice, I picked up at least 4 things that I will be implementing STRAIGHT AWAY for my next video. Keep it up Think Media!

[@This1LifeWeLive]

You know this is a great analysis. I've been upping my editing and everyone around me keeps saying more videos, less editing... but what I find is my sub count shoots way up on the better edited videos. Talking 100 subs instead of 10. Many channels I follow take this approach too. They do 1 video a week and it's a fun video. I didnt know that about the 60 fps for good slo mo.. ill also add that buying a good transitions pack for Adobe is a must do. *new video idea for you* there are several transition packs online, mine came with sound effects too.

[@TobyNorthEN]

Question to Think Media: Are these KZbinrs doing their OWN editing or do they have a staffer, buddy, crew, etc. doing the editing for them and working with what the KZbinr envisions for the video?

[@somycolleaguescantfindme]

Most of these KZbinrs do have their own editors to edit for them

[@CamilleTylerbrand]

Great Question

[@GreatAmericanNosh]

That is a great question. It is hard to create the content, film and edit it all yourself.

[@MeditationParadiseASMR]

To anyone reading this. Just keep uploading. Don’t stop because you think nothing will happen on your channel. Just stick with what you want to upload and keep uploading. You can do this just don’t give up!

[@gamingwithcov8763]

This information is really good & pretty tedious., especially the J cut & L cut info. This has really inspired me to keep going with my gaming channel.,!

[@TutorialsMag]

I need to consider incorporating these techniques into my videos, well done Nolan!

[@jakeportolese4031]

These tips are so key!! It’s always important to experiment with different styles in your videos and learn your own way. Thanks Think Media!

[@CriticalDreamsAnime]

sad part most of these people don't even do their own edits

[@monica4158]

But they used too. I think that once the KZbinrs get so busy, it makes sense to hire an editor. It's like you live in a 1 bed apartment and you clean it yourself, then you end up earning more money and buy a 5 bedroom house, it would make sense to hire a housekeeper, no?

[@XPLifeNow]

Kelly Stamps' editing style adds to her awkwardness. It's awesome!

[@WhatchaGot2Say]

Cory Kenshin is my favorite KZbinr by far. Very helpful video 🤓👌🏽

[@jamwar4167]

Facts for me along with popularmmos aphmau ssundee jlaservideo and hacksmith but cory is number 1

[@TheFreshSoundsFlorida]

Cory's one of my favorite's as well.

[@nolanmolt]

Awesome, I’ll look into him!

[@scottmckenna]

3:01 - instead of detaching audio, a better method would be to double click on the bottom part of the clip (where you see the audio) it basically detaches from the clip so you can smoothly make that same J and L cut but you don’t actually have to detach the clip and take the chance of it getting unsynced.

[@Seamusyt1396]

It would be great if yall would do some research on free editing programs like davinci and not overly expensive Adobe products since Adobe is very pricey for most new users

[@BrittPearceWatches]

I really love Casey Neistat edits! I'd love to get a bit more dynamic like him!

[@MyMotorcycleObsession]

Personally I'd rather not edit my videos to the point where it looks like I'm on a TV show, I'd rather do minimal editing and have a more personal experience on KZbin. Editing can help, but I think it's over rated. Thumbnail, title and content are king, the rest is just icing on the cake. My best video with nearly a million views is shot on a $30 camera that I bought on Ebay, has no music, it's shaky and grainy but it's a video on how to make $2,000 a month raising ducks. Everyone wants to make easy money, it's a topic that is wide reaching to a larger audience, has a great thumbnail and title. You can have the best editing but if it's targeted towards a smaller audience then it will have a minimal effect. I actually just started this motorcycle channel because I believe it will reach a bigger audience than my other 6 channels, even though I have nearly 1200 videos on KZbin. Look at the top videos from popular KZbinrs, most people would watch a video on that topic, vs. not a lot of people will watch a video about your pet snake where a lot of people are terrified of snakes LOL. Plus excessive editing can really slow you down, you'll spend way too much time in the edit vs. putting out more content. I can't hardly watch videos from a lot of those big guys, mainly because it takes them 10 minutes to get to the point, it's all excessive editing. Just give me what was promised in the thumbnail so I can move on to the next video, I didn't click on the video to be impressed by your fancy editing LOL

[@LisaCulton]

Agree. There will never be a slow motion coffee montage in any of my videos. People are watching for specific information, not cinematography.

[@Ournotsoperfectlife]

I see and can agree to a point here... however, the edits... at least for us is a form of our creative expression and that shouldn’t be so quick to be discounted. Not picking a fight... just sayin 😎

[@LisaCulton]

@@Ournotsoperfectlife Being creative with edits is fun, but the analytics show me that spikes and continuous segments are associated with me showing and explaining information on charts, tables, excel sheets, etc. But that's specific to my channel.

[@Ournotsoperfectlife]

@Lisa Colton - that’s the beauty of the platform! Your analytics show what your viewers want and engage in... and that is universal for every channel 🤙🏼 Awesome it’s working for you!

[@LisaCulton]

@Joe R I definitely do some storytelling and I do use B-Roll, sound effects and various editing techniques for increasing watch time, but it's not my focus and I'm not going to spend a huge amount of time and energy on things like multiple camera angles and slow motion because people aren't tuning into my channel for that. These techniques are more important for vlog or lifestyle/entertainment niche type content, but I think that people put too much pressure on themselves and get burned out trying to keep up with these folks who have other people professionally editing their videos. Even Graham Stephan has someone working for him full-time taking care of that. Peter McKinnon too.

[@Thuvu5]

This is so awesome, I learned so much from this video. I’m gonna implement them in my new channel. Thank you so much for sharing! :)

[@AuthenTech]

Great tips! Maybe breakdown Potato Jet next time?

[@whateverittakessratchoff]

i watch your channel too 🔥

[@ItsKeshini]

Woww Ben from AuthenTech is here guys😍 love your channel and content man💯

[@nolanmolt]

Thanks for the suggestion Ben! I love Potato Jet!

[@PioneerMountainHomestead]

Excellent video. I now understand L cuts. Going to try this out. Please produce more videos like this. Great info.

[@homemakingwithdenise]

One of my favorites is Inspired by Nikki. Love her videography and Faith and Flour.

[@chelseys370]

I have such an appreciation for video production after watching these videos and learning how to edit my own. It’s totally changed the way I watch KZbin videos, tv shows and movies

[@Pokeccc]

These "Untold Secrets" are known to literally anyone with over 10 subs

[@hyperkid636]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Tommy2Thumbzz]

Ok that's valid lol. Still good to get the affirmation that I'm headed in the right direction with my channel.

[@lifethroughalens9878]

I'll admit I approached this video with some trepidation as I normally don't like the "secret hacks to 1 million subs" type videos, but, this one was really well done. I appreciated how you pointed out actual editing examples. Definitely some solid tips for improving my editing skills.

[@somycolleaguescantfindme]

Think Media, I use Epidemic Sound for my videos and guess what? They were copyright claimed by KZbin. I don't understand why

[@Beyondthehappymiles]

Omg 😳 I loveee the hacks! Absolutely amazing 🤩 thanks for sharing

[@CamilleTylerbrand]

Happy Times

[@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor]

[@LiveLoveThailand]

Great Tips, I think in my opinion the most important fact, Is the story, and how to tell that story, besides everything you mention. Thank you again Greetings from Thailand

[@carlchan44]

thanks for sharing - editing tips: ．slow mo fast cut ．Jcut Lcut ．music stop with serious ．horror ．up bit ．different angle ．crop in, crop out, zoom in, handheld, tracking ．jump cut (instead of speed up) ．sound effect (make it more funny) ．text (emphasis)

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Wow, great ideas! The challenge is how to fit them into my niche woodturning tutorials.

[@theoortcloud742]

Rhett and Link are easily my favorite KZbinrs. GMM is my favorite, but I think that their editing style in their Local Commercials series was a bit more fitting to this type of video.

[@neighbors71]

dont take this advice for granted you never know how much it will help

[@LilCraftyNook]

This was great!! I’m definitely going to try more jump cuts!! Thanks so much!! 😄🙌🏻

[@Restorology]

I just uploaded my first project to KZbin and I am realizing how much time and effort needs to be put into editing to tell a story. Thank you for this information. I cannot wait to jump onto the next one and see how I can incorporate these tools.

[@ThatsSoGiorgio]

My subscribers and views has been going up for the last view weeks and I’ve been focusing on my atmosphere more so my videos are more enjoyable to view. I’ve always loved making home made movies and this video definitely reminded me of how boring my videos are as far as cuts and effects go. I make more old style KZbin Poop edits with sound effects and memes. I definitely need more music that keeps the mood going and more intense cuts and different edits to make it feel more like a movie. Maybe change my shoot location from time to time too. Thank you!

[@EliteHealersSportsMassage]

This is the coaching I needed but didn’t know I wanted it. Thank you so much Nolan!!!

[@DrLizListens]

It's too late. Abundance is coming. And there is no way you can stop it. 🌱💲 These Tips that worked for me: 1. Authentically engage with your KZbin comments (like this one) 2. Let go of perfection, just create livestreams 3. Mindfulness for effortless creativity & confidence. Which ones have helped you? Keep creating & being AWESOME! 💗 Dr. Liz

[@GGSpeedruns]

All 3 helped me . Just live and let live. There's a lot of positive people on KZbin . Good vibes have a great day

@6:11 if I use a sound and stop paying what happens to the music I bought and used in my videos? ALSO can you do A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO INSTALL A MIC LIKE THE ONE YOU HAVE FOR MACK. I LOOKED AT MANY VIDEO BUT NO ONE IS ANSWERING MY QUESTION. I GOT A FULL SET ON AMAZON LIKE A PODCASTING I HAD IT FOR A YEAR AND I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO USE IT I THINK I MIGHT NEED HEADPHONES IDK

[@Ournotsoperfectlife]

Great video. Editing is a skill that requires constant attention to detail. It is all of these awesome tips, but along with that... it’s learning and knowing WHEN, WHERE, and HOW to use these. Placing the proper clips with the flow of your edits in combo with your storyline is crucial. Great video here @Think Media

[@kelly.nicole]

I learned all of these tricks by years and years of simply just watching my favorite KZbinrs

[@TheBrandonLeeCook]

This is awesome do more of these!!! It’s great to see youtubers in the entertainment niche and showing how to grow in that category instead of just tutorial or product based content creators! Keep doing this!! ✨✨👏👏👏👏👏 thanks!!!

[@GreatAmericanNosh]

[@JeremyMeister]

Great 'decoding' thanks Think Media Crew!

[@RachelSmets]

Great tips, watching again! I've been playing around with music clips. My channel is really talking heads, so I add Brolls to create more attention retention, and I try doing a lot of J cuts but now you mentioned L cuts....ohhhhh and I LOVE the idea of different angles! Wow, I will watch a 3d time :)

[@ShayLeonia]

My all time favorites are Wheezywaiter and The Welsh Twins.

[@TaylorTravelsTheWorld]

Im going to try to implement some of these... i just started the whole youtube thing and im still a super basic editor and I'm still trying to find my style/confidence in my videos. I appreciate the tips!

[@DanielleLaShawn]

I'm trying to figure out how NitraaB creates camera movement in her videos. It looks almost like the camera is moving right and left. I'm thinking she blows up the clip a little and keyframes to add the movements. They're subtle but they add a lot of interest.

[@AvelinaEncaboCHANNEL]

I watched these guys for over 2 years now. They are the masters of KZbin platform.

[@martialartsunlimited01]

So I have epidemic sound, I just started my personal channel, yet my videos are getting copyright claims. Is there a work in around

[@andrewma9975]

Kinda unrelated question: I keep getting views, likes, and supportive comments, but people rarely subscribe in comparison despite me encouraging it. What do you think I’m missing?
