Great advice for anyone creating video... May I add one tip... Always record "Room Noise". thirty seconds of the space your in... just in case you need to drop audio from the speaker...& avoid dead air...

[HereBeBarr]

Thank you for making this.. I think Generation Z is sadly so numb to Jump Cuts and a cut every 3-4 seconds..

I started using a teleprompter a few weeks ago, and it was a game changer. I make guitar lesson videos. When I'm demonstrating guitar stuff, I can go for a long time without needing to stop, but I really stumble when I'm recording parts where I'm just talking for a long time without playing the guitar. I started using a teleprompter for the longer speaking segments, and it made a HUGE difference. I can knock out those speaking parts faster, and it's a LOT easier to edit that footage.

This video has WAY too few views for the quality of the advice. Seriously, you lay out REALLY well the biggest issues I see from new youtubers and explain the ways to polish them out of their videos. Fantastic work.

[chucks]

Absolute pro level content right here. I'm definitely trying some of these tips on my next edit.

[heyitssarahwolk]

This was very helpful. Thank you! Even the obvious concepts were explained well and it makes it all seem doable!

[yamanran]

great video! the crop in and crop out is such an easy one to do that I've never thought about! can't wait to implement in my videos!

[skillnearn]

Probably the best I found on YouTube which I have been hunting for a long time. I wish you could show the example of the audio cut you talked about. just so we know what you were talking about and how it turned out. makes a lot of difference. BTW, going to stick on to your videos. I like the way you explain and also, super helpful stuff. Thanks a million for this one.

[heatherpsyd]

I've literally been waiting for this video since I started on YT, lol. Thank you! :)

[jaywhitebk]

Hi Jeven, thank you for you super detailed tutorials/tips. You’re one of my favs to learn from. I recently finished your Skillshare course and I was great as well. I hope all is well with you.

[JyForFun]

Very helpful tips! Thanks a lot, Jeven! Hope to be able to use them on my future vlogs! 🙂

I started editing on Avid back in the 1990's ever since then it has been a game of using "cover up the bad sentence" or "cover that out of focus shot with" mostly using b-roll. I find it interesting nowadays how often we see jump cuts and how much they have become the social norm. I have actually started using them in my own edits just because it is so widely accepted now.

[gazpixs]

Excellent advice Jev. Think Vincent Price, he is still the absolute solid gold of delivery. I always say to my victims is to instruct. If you lose your way in a dialogue, just shut up for a few seconds then start again. Gives the editor space for cut/transition.

Hi Jeven. I noticed that your video, like my videos, plays in Auto 2160p 4K. I've seen some YouTube 4K videos that are in Auto 2160p60 4K. What is the difference? I have a Sony AX-53 camcorder and use Adobe Premiere Pro. Btw, I'm thinking about starting to use some B-roll in future videos. Thanks!

[TravelAddictsLife]

Great tips Jeven, thank you for sharing! I use the B role technique a lot, but I am happy to learn more options.

[SidsDrakon]

Dude this was awesome. Could have used this when I did my first 2 vids 😂 they are horrible. Also I started to pick up on all the tricks and yes they make a whole lot of difference. You are awesome Jeven.

[YOUandMaine]

...Jeven Dovey, improving YouTube with every video. You are a machine. Thank-you!

[jpl]

Nice video, thanks for the tips.

Can you clarify your suggestion of overlapping the audio with the fade in/out...Doesn't overlapping the audio shift the entire audio track out of alignment with the video? Sorry for the noob question..

[DatrysiadMedia]

Never liked using a teleprompter feels unnatural and has a certain disconnect. Just working on a doc and didn't have a second camera to help with cuts and transitions, surprising how much that helps.

Using a stupid amount of broll to help pull this together with graphics containing medical info or to dive a little deeper on what the person has said.

This was perfectly timed !

thanks so much for sharing your extensive knowledge
