Editing Explained: Keeping Strong

In this video, I go through some of the editing changes I made to one of my books, and talk about why I'm making these changes. I have a new camera for this video and am still learning how to do a video using two cameras, so bear with me as I learn the ropes. Hopefully the movement of the video doesn't make you sick, I got a little queasy myself watching it. I tried mounting the camera on a tripod, but couldn't get the angle right, so I merely did it hand-held. Next time, I'll see if I can't set it up another way.

Keep in mind about the margins, I mention liking half-inch margins, but this is for a 6x9 book. If the book was a different size, such as a trade paperback, which I think is around 4.25x6.25 or something like that, I'd change the margins accordingly. Be like .25-inch or .33-inch margins. I publish through Amazon, and I think they have templates for each size book, but you may want to tweak the margins yourself if you aren't happy with it.

3:28 if you wanna skip all the preliminaries.
