This is REAPER 6 - Video Editing (13/15)

[@thecinemanotes]

Two things I know. Kenny is a GREAT editor. And Reaper is mad underrated.

[@Vin4227]

Kenny himself has the best Reaper tutorials on KZbin and I think he is also underrated... sigh.

[@Syntox]

Not anymore

[@InsertAwesomFaceHere]

Reaper is popular in audio editing, I don't think it's that underrated.

[@Magicmedo]

@@Vin4227 It’s the way he talks that’s turning me off.

Reaper is a god damned masterpiece, what a brilliant program and community

[@persenbp4160]

Wow ! 1:30 i recognize this place where this man is dancing, it's in morrocco, the place's name is "Jamaa el fna" and this kind of dancer is called "Gnawi". I live in Morocco!

[@YesPickles]

That's so cool!

I had no idea Reaper was capable of all of this. What an amazing program and tool.

[@jaredpreston3815]

Holy crap. This video just blew my mind. I am new to Reaper and it's possibilities seem to be way beyond expectations. Thank you for the great video.

[@tcastock4484]

Wow... I've watched a lot of your Reaper videos for audio, I'm thinking of using Reaper for video as well... This has definitely convinced me. Honestly one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen. There was no waffle, it told me so much, made it look easy, although I know when I try it won't be that easy !!! Blown me away. Thanks.

[@illanoiz1]

Thanks Kenny for always doing a great job. I’m going to attempt my first video in Reaper later today!

[@JackTheRabbitMusic]

Same here dude!! I wish us both luck, but with this information, it should be a lot less time consuming!!🐰✌

[@RyanMcQuen]

It's insane that Reaper can do this, I just kept laughing the whole video because it is so impressive.

[@andr3s12]

Came in looking for tips on video editing, walked out with an audio lesson as a bonus! I didn't know you could drag effects from one track to another to copy them. You just saved me about 20 minutes of editing time per song. Thank you!

[@DIY-DaddyO]

Oh my, that's some nifty editing features.... I wanted Reaper to just play a video track I could score to, but WOW, you can do SO much. Nice work guys...

[@jacksonjustube]

Kenny Kenny Kenny you are the best. thanks for all... Brazil loves you

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

Freaking awesome!!! Thanks for this video!!! Awesome awesome explanation

Your tutorials are amazingly helpful. We just switched to using Reaper for projects and each tutorials makes it more exciting. Thank you for all you do!

[@ErnestoPossiSpanishVoiceOver]

This software with audio is amazing , I have to try this video tips too!

[@AlexanderMaximov_plus]

I'm new to Reaper and just realized it can provide some descent basic operations to work with video!!! Awesome! My world will never be the same!

[@chrisfarrugia5397]

This series of videos are just GOLD !! Thank you Kenny so appreciate your work!

[@toskoramone]

Thank you! I had no idea Reaper could do all this! And I dind't know that Shift + E shortcut, it blew my mind, so glad I watched it to the end! Fun fact: pretty sure that guy who shows at around 9:17 is our friend Kenny Gioia :D

[@DThompson55]

I've been doing a lot of cellphone choirs in Reaper since the start of covid. There's one tip I'd like to pass on. Video can only be aligned to the frame rate. So at 30FPS you're at around +/- 33ms if you're trying to align two videos. That might not be bad for video but aligning two audio tracks will suffer. So what I do is align the videos as close as possible, then render the audio components to separate wav files, mute the videos, and mix the audio separately.

[@CHRISTWARD]

Can Reaper handle this? At one point, I tried recording a video on my Canon camcorder. I also recorded just the audio on a tascam recorder. When I tried to line up using another software, the two files slowly went out of sync. Can I get them to sync in Reaper so that the files both start and end with the audio not going out of sync). I just started checking out Reaper (actually it says that I first signed up a long time ago but don't remember anything from that). Anyway, I would like to understand what you are saying.

[@DThompson55]

@@CHRISTWARD It's certanly doable. The trick is that you need to know the video frame rate. There are several in common use. My guess is that your video camera is operating at 29.97, but reaper is set to 30. That would cause the kind of drift you described. You set that in the project settings under the video tab.

[@szymoncebulowy7740]

Kenny Gioia, i'll buy you a beer when i meet you in reality. Thanx for the tips

[@franciscoaragao9672]

Me too

[@Dang...]

Brilliant work Kenny! Thank you!

[@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

I didn't know Reaper did all this.... I love this program!! Thank you!!!

[@OrthodoxChristianMusicProject]

Thank you again Kenny!!! After watching this video, I am DEFINITELY going to try to do this with my next video!! I have been processing my audio files of original music in Reaper, and putting them into a separate video editing software using the reaper render as the soundtrack behind a silent movie screen capture of a scrolling score.... however, now I see that in Reaper 6, I don’t have to switch software, but can even zoom in on the instrument section playing and not subjecting my viewers to watching lots of empty measures and a soloist too small for clear viewing. Everyday Reaper makes my music presentations more professional and closer to an authentic representation of what I wrote on paper! All I need next is a chorus software that sings the choral texts and lets me move away from the “midi chair all AH”... nonetheless, Reaper is and INCREDIBLE program and Kenny’s videos are wonderful for walking you through the painful process of learning such advanced software!

[@PsychedelicGoo]

Fantastic software and a fantastic tutorial. Thanks.

[@pmvoice88]

I am constantly amazed by Reaper. Thanks again Kenny.

Thank you @ when my mom health get better , i will take her home from hospital and 1st thing i gotta do is download Reaper right away !

[@musicalsam1]

Thanks. That's dead useful. I'm gonna investigate whether it's possible to pan across a video, like using keyframes in Lumafusion. I'm guessing it'll be using an automation envelope on the Track opacity/zoom/pan preset within the Video processor.

[@LoopConnection]

Here I say it: In one year Reaper will overtake premiere!

[@AdamAarts]

Loop Connection I use both professionally. The workflow of reaper isn’t quite the same or nearly as efficient or powerful as premiere from what I’m seeing here. For a simple project I could see it being very useful, especially if you’re on a budget or already own reaper. Just like the inverse, Reaper is much easier and more efficient to edit audio. For simple audio plug ins and cuts Premiere does fine and I’ll use it for that pretty often. Point being, each program has its strengths and I don’t see one replacing the other any time soon

[@nathanofthefinity8946]

[@cathc.2161]

Thanks Kenny! I have a question about how to split the docker in two when you add the big clock on it. I tried so many time, but the video window can not share the space with the big clock window.😢

[@Slammo]

Anybody know if there's a way to combine video sources? I'm trying to figure out a way to do a mix with multiple video sources (Time accurate videos submitted from separate band members at different locations ) The problem I'm having is that the output window only address one video at a time. The output favors the video on the higher track or the video on the bottom when I put them both on the same track using "free item positioning" The black background field on the video output isn't transparent and wont allow the zoom and pan plugin to separate the videos into serrate boxes. Any ideas out there? Thanks again for all you do Mr Kenny!!

[@zloboslav_]

Dude you're blowing my mind! Great video!

[@Skjolven]

It looks really awesome docking the video window at the top, but I don't understand why the little gray tab is not at my video window, and I can't get the menu by right-clicking the video window with the four options for docking the window. What do I do wrong? I work with REAPER 6. at mac os 10.12

I would prefer it to appear as it does in Kenny's video, but this is a small point. Help!!

[@angelsanchezdoblajes5280]

Hi Kenny. According to what you comment here, we can place the video image al the top of the window. However, when I right click on the video, it does not give me the option like you to choose to put the docker in the top position. Please, can you say me what can I do? Thank you so much and I love your channel and Reaper. Regards from Canary Islands, Spain.

[@wilssantos2]

You can create a screenset with it. Ctrl+E is the keyboard shortcut. You can add as many as you want and switch between them freely even within the same project. Video on top, big clock on the right; mixer on the bottom and master on a separate dock on the right; you name it. It's a pretty powerful feature.

[@djfull4442]

I don't have the option to dock the video on the top, the entire menu doesn't exist. Probably I deactivated it but I don't know where.

It's not working for me. Dragging the mp4 "could not import 1 of 1 files." Insert->media file puts something there, but the track says "OFFLINE" and then when I add the video player the screen is black. It won't play. It's playing in other media players. Is it because I am running the trial version? I'd like to be able to have this for dubbing voice overs.

[@Ihadtosettleforthis]

@@michaeldemellomusic9939 The solution for me was to install VLC 64-bit (I had VLC 32-bit installed which didn't match with the 64-bit version of Reaper I have), because Reaper is able to pick up the codec/decoders from VLC (as I understand)? Otherwise if that doesn't work read the other comments on this video, other people solved it by downloading codecs and copying them into the folders where Reaper is installed

Reaper also has best performance when speeding up videos . And since im so used to editing music in blender its like second nature , But transforming an image over or any other graphical effect is not possible as far as I know, but great for editing , makes it super natural cutting video and audio side by side and not in different programs
