-: Now let's discuss how I edited the video 2 2
for this entire set up here. 3 3
Meaning, how did I coordinate the GoPro camera 4 4
as well as the Canon M50, the C300 Cinema camera, 5 5
and the microphones; how did I get it all to work 6 6
within the editing process. 7 7
So what I'm going to do is show you a screen here, 8 8
on my Mac, of how I edited all the 9 9
stuff in Final Cut Pro. 10 10
And I'm gonna assume you have 11 11
no experience at all with Final Cut Pro 12 12
and I'll show you this. 13 13
And this is gonna be a really 14 14
advanced edit because there's multiple 15 15
cameras, multiple audio sources etc. 16 16
And if you wanna learn how to edit 17 17
in premier pro, adobe premier pro, 18 18
which you can use on a Mac and 19 19
Windows. 20 20
Please watch this part of the course 21 21
right here. 22 22
So I'm gonna dive right in and if you 23 23
have questions please let me know. 24 24
Okay, so as you can see I've got 25 25
a number of different folders here, okay? 26 26
And these folders here that I'm highlighting, 27 27
are all these sources of the files, the 28 28
audio and video files. 29 29
Okay, so this is the big cinema camera 30 30
that I'm looking at right now. 31 31
Those are the files there, and there's 32 32
just two in there. 33 33
And they're quite large, this one here 34 34
is 190 gigs. 35 35
Then I've got the Canon M50 file. 36 36
Which is like the smaller, mirrorless 37 37
camera I love for vlogging, and there's a 38 38
number here. 39 39
And then what I've got is the Go Pro, and 40 40
I've got 20 files from the recording. 41 41
What happens is Go Pro will take your files and 42 42
cut it up into pieces of, usually 4 gigabits maximum 43 43
size, as you can see down here. 44 44
Okay, and I numbered all these on purpose. 45 45
All these files, it makes it easier when you edit. 46 46
Okay, and then right down here, let me just minimize 47 47
these here. 48 48
Ignore what's in here, this is notes to me. 49 49
I've got the H1N, and recall the H1N is the 50 50
recommended audio source, that I mentioned. 51 51
It's this guy here, that I'm wearing right here, it's a 52 52
Lavalier under my shirt, and I've got four of those. 53 53
Then I've got the H6, which is this guy here. 54 54
Which I'll turn on right now. 55 55
(tapping noise) 56 56
Okay, and that's recording on another device down there, 57 57
which I showed you earlier, the H6 device. 58 58
I'll show you right now, I think you'll remember 59 59
what it looks like. 60 60
This is just in case you didn't watch that part of the 61 61
course, I'll show you again. 62 62
It's this guy here. 63 63
Okay, so this is the H6. 64 64
It looks a lot like the H1, but the H6 is for more 65 65
advanced stuff, especially if you want to have multiple 66 66
people with multiple microphones. 67 67
But just stick with this one here, the H1N, I love it. 68 68
When you're recording video, even if your camera is 69 69
recording audio, I want you to try and get backup as well. 70 70
Just in case, just in case. 71 71
It's always good to have backup. 72 72
Then, as you can see here, I've got the iphone camera 73 73
screen recordings. 74 74
I have the iphone set against the window there recording 75 75
a bunch of other videos, just for another angle. 76 76
So that's the 8 camera, recording this right now 77 77
with my GoPro, you're the B camera there. 78 78
Hi GoPro. 79 79
Right here I've got the iphone screen recordings, when 80 80
I showed you how I up read the bluetooth lights here. 81 81
The one behind me, behind the couch, I showed you 82 82
how to do that. 83 83
Then I've got, over here, a recording of how I used 84 84
the Osmo 2 Gimbal software, okay? 85 85
Then I've got the Mac screen recordings right here, 86 86
when I did the screen recordings to showed you how to do 87 87
a YouTuube live event using WireCast software. 88 88
Then here, this is just a little bit of extra, but I 89 89
actually did my events, my 50th weekly call in YouTube 90 90
live event earlier today. 91 91
What I did was I had a couple of intro files, and I'll 92 92
show you how to do this towards the end of this long 93 93
editing section here if you're interested, or you 94 94
can jump to it right now by going to this part here. 95 95
So let's get started. 96 96
What I'm gonna do now is, I'm gonna open up Final Cut Pro, 97 97
so I'm just gonna type Final Cut Pro there, and I'm gonna 98 98
open it, and I'm screen recording up here with QuickTime. 99 99
Then in Final Cut, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna 100 100
create a brand new library from scratch. 101 101
And here you have, this is the intro video I filmed 102 102
for my webcast I ran today, and just fast forwarding 103 103
all the stuff I showed you yesterday. 104 104
So, let's create a brand new folder, a brand new library. 105 105
So, I'm gonna go here, file, new, library. 106 106
I'm gonna keep it in this directory here, and I'm gonna 107 107
call it how to edit. 108 108
Sasha also has a section on editing best practices, she's 109 109
great at editing in final cut for her blogs. 110 110
I'm gonna close, I'm gonna close this one here just 111 111
so we it doesn't confuse us. 112 112
How to edit. 113 113
So now what I have to do is I have to import the files. 114 114
What I can do, is I can import, or I can just drag and drop. 115 115
I'm just gonna drag and drop, it's easier for me. 116 116
You'll see why I named all these files properly in a second. 117 117
I'm gonna expand all this stuff, not that one. 118 118
All these files here, and I'm gonna import every single 119 119
one of them, and then what I'm gonna do is because there, 120 120
I'm gonna tell Final Cut hey can you synchronize all this 121 121
stuff for me? 122 122
So that they're all at the exact same point in time? 123 123
Meaning, my audio is perfect across all devices, and 124 124
it's really easy to do that. 125 125
Let me now select all these, control A, so it will get 126 126
rid of the directories. 127 127
Then what I'm gonna do is simply drag and drop. 128 128
So what I'll do, is I'll select all these files here, 129 129
except for the directory itself, and I'm just gonna 130 130
simply drag and drop that stuff directly into Final Cut Pro. 131 131
Here's the file we're creating right now, it's only 181 132 132
kilobits now, but it's gonna be massive, maybe close 133 133
to a terabit soon, by the time we're done. 134 134
The drive I recommend using is lacie, L A C I E, 135 135
and you can use that on windows of course as well. 136 136
All right, then get rid of these, good. 137 137
Now watch this, drag, good. 138 138
Everything is gonna go into that directory, and I shouldn't 139 139
have selected that file there, just ignore that. 140 140
I'm trying to, that basically said you're installing the 141 141
file that I'm recording into me. 142 142
The name of the file itself. 143 143
So here's all the stuff here that we've imported. 144 144
Then what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna make the master bottom 145 145
file that every item is gonna link onto or synchronize to, 146 146
with the H1 audio device. 147 147
What I'm gonna do before that is, I'm gonna synchronize 148 148
everything, everything, together. 149 149
So, I'm gonna select everything here, then I'm gonna right 150 150
click, and I'm gonna select synchronize clips. 151 151
The synchronization I want to use is 23.98, or 24, it's 152 152
close enough. 153 153
Because that's 24 frames, or pictures per second, it, 154 154
I ran all my cameras at 24 pictures per second. 155 155
If I had run everything, at say, 60 pictures per second, 156 156
then when I synchronize them, the length would be a little 157 157
bit off, it will drive you crazy cause lips will look 158 158
like Milli Vanilli. 159 159
I'm dating myself there, that's a lip sync band 160 160
that got discovered years ago, er in trouble years ago. 161 161
All right, so I'm gonna synchronize it, and I'll just 162 162
call it synchronize clips. 163 163
This is gonna take a little while, and I'm gonna do it in 164 164
four, even though I'll just render it and probably upload 165 165
it to the You to Me course, or whatever course you're 166 166
watching this on, in 1080p now just tryin' to future 167 167
proof it. 168 168
I'm gonna click okay now, and then what it's gonna do, 169 169
it's gonna synchronize all those clips over many hours. 170 170
So the time right now is 4:11 pm on August 8th, and 171 171
it's gonna take a while, so I'll check back with you 172 172
when this is ready to go, then we'll discuss the next steps. 173 173
But you can hear the fan, going into overdrive now. 174 174
I'll check back with you soon, when it's done. 175 175
Thanks. 176 176
All right, it's now 4:48 and all the files have been 177 177
synchronized, which is pretty cool. 178 178
I'll double click here on the synchronized master file 179 179
that was created, lemme just give us some more real 180 180
estate here. 181 181
You can see that all the different levels of all the 182 182
different video stuff, and everything was synchronized 183 183
together. 184 184
It's not perfect, but it's pretty good, and the way it 185 185
does it, is it tries, you see here, the audio? 186 186
It tries to line them up. 187 187
And that's why you gotta try to have audio in every single 188 188
device if possible, even if the audio sucks, it doesn't 189 189
matter because when you synchronize stuff, in the editing 190 190
process, it makes it much easier for the computer to line 191 191
up everything for you. 192 192
Sometimes when you watch movies, or the production of 193 193
movies, you'll see someone with a clapper board going 194 194
take one crck. 195 195
And that's so that the audio can be lined up amongst 196 196
different cameras etc when you're editing. 197 197
So there's a lot of information here, and I have to 198 198
fix all this stuff to make it look better. 199 199
This doesn't look great here, so I have to play around 200 200
with the saturation, and the color, and brightness and 201 201
whatnot. 202 202
What I'm gonna do right now, is, this is over 3 hours of 203 203
content here. 204 204
I'm not gonna, I don't want to jeopardize your time. 205 205
What I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna clean up some of this, 206 206
and then I will come back to you and show you it in a 207 207
couple seconds, the next step. 208 208
What I'll do though, is I'll create a new project, and I'll 209 209
call it edit, editing part one, and at 24p. 210 210
Which means 24 pictures in every second, and all the 211 211
cameras were set on about 24 pictures per second. 212 212
If I didn't set all the cameras to all take the same amount 213 213
of pictures every single second, what would have happened, 214 214
is some of the clips would be longer, or slightly shorter, 215 215
from all the other clips, which is a nightmare 216 216
when you're editing. 217 217
So, I'll come back to you in a couple seconds with a lot 218 218
more of these clips lined up, and show you the next steps. 219 219
All right, so what I've done is this. 220 220
I created a master file, and all I did here, lemme just 221 221
zoom way out, it's over 3 hours long. 222 222
I perfectly lined up every single audio and video device, 223 223
meaning my iphone, my Canon M50, small vlogging camera, my 224 224
Go Pro, as well as my Canon C300 cinema camera, and a couple 225 225
audio tracks too. 226 226
The H1N zoom, and then also the H6, which is that higher end 227 227
recording device attached to the Sure microphone. 228 228
All right, so what I did is, I just copied and pasted from 229 229
here, and made separate lessons. 230 230
So, for example, I took this part here and I turned it 231 231
into lesson 1, meaning lecture one. 232 232
Let me now just go to lecture one. 233 233
So, here's lecture one. 234 234
The way that I set it up is, I actually threw in a little 235 235
animation here, and I threw in some music as well. 236 236
The way I did that is, you can buy these plug ins, so I 237 237
bought these plug ins here from a company called LenoFX. 238 238
You can just go to LenoFX.com I believe, or you can just 239 239
Google it, and I purchased some of these items here. 240 240
So, this was a social media plug in here, and all you have 241 241
to do is. 242 242
So for example, this one here, it will show up like that 243 243
on the right. 244 244
All you do is you drag it here, and then you just click 245 245
here, lemme just open this up here. 246 246
Ignore my face behind there. 247 247
Then you can just change the background here. 248 248
So, change the text. 249 249
You can always customize these things too, quite a bit. 250 250
Meaning the position here, you can just hold here, and 251 251
drag up and down for x-axis, y-axis build in build out. 252 252
Meaning will the animation show or not. 253 253
If I leave build in on. 254 254
Oh God, I can't stand myself, sorry. 255 255
Let's go back here. 256 256
I'm gonna hide all this stuff, I'm gonna highlight 257 257
all the stuff, highlight all the stuff and hit v, to 258 258
make it not visible. 259 259
So here, you can see that the animation is gonna be on, 260 260
the build in, so watch this. 261 261
If I turn this off, the build in, the animation will be 262 262
off, and this will just appear here. 263 263
What you can also do, there's a gazillion other parameters 264 264
you can play with for all these cool little plug ins. 265 265
So, for example, the size of course of the text, the color 266 266
of the text if I want to change that, and many many other 267 267
things including the opacity. 268 268
Meaning how transparent the image, or graphic, is. 269 269
So, that's how I got the, let me just delete that, 270 270
then I'll select this v, to view it. 271 271
That's how I threw in these animations, which you might 272 272
have seen in the course. 273 273
So, for this lecture here, this one is called Introduction 274 274
to Camera's audio Lighting webcast and more, and I'll 275 275
turn the volume down here as well, sorry about that. 276 276
All I did was, I just dragged and dropped this from one 277 277
of the LenoFX tools. 278 278
There's another one called LenoFX titles, and it's just 279 279
the title screen here, so it's called smart titles. 280 280
All I did, was I dragged this down here, and I just 281 281
changed the parameter over here. 282 282
I'm gonna hit ctrl-z, or command z, to undo. 283 283
The music, I actually got it from my favorite music and 284 284
audio and picture and video website, I wish I subscribed to, 285 285
called audio blocks. 286 286
So let's go there together, or story block, same thing 287 287
it's all the same company now. 288 288
So let's go to story blocks, right here, and then what I did 289 289
was there's, I went to the audio section. 290 290
I'll be logged in automatically here. 291 291
I just did a search for intro effects, or intro sounds. 292 292
So I searched, and you can even select the type of 293 293
instrument mood you want etc. 294 294
If I want it to be kind of like a new show, I'd select this. 295 295
(music plays) 296 296
Then all you do, is you click download here. 297 297
Now, if you give me opportunity to mp3 or wave, always 298 298
do wave, wave is higher quality, mp3 is compressed. 299 299
So, we would select wave, for example, and it would then 300 300
download there. 301 301
Then all you do, is you just import or drag and drop 302 302
into Final Cut. 303 303
Let me just make this a little smaller, go here, and I'll 304 304
go here to my downloads. 305 305
I would just drag this over here, let me just hit v to 306 306
make this not visible, and here's the sound. 307 307
(music plays) 308 308
I can lower the volume, I could shrink it a bit, and I 309 309
can have it gradually get quieter like this. 310 310
(music plays) 311 311
Going back here, and I'll get rid of this, and I'll leave 312 312
this more upbeat toon on. 313 313
I love it. 314 314
Then what you can do is, with this here, this little 315 315
YouTube button animation thing, you can even do little 316 316
things like you can turn off the bell. 317 317
This is from that company LenoFX, see over here LenoFX. 318 318
I can turn the bell off, which is kind of silly cause 319 319
it will click nothing, watch this, on the right. 320 320
Clicks nothing, or I can turn the bell back on, and you 321 321
can even change the color of the bell if you wanted to, 322 322
so the bell is back on now. 323 323
All right, then what I did was after I dragged and dropped 324 324
these things on here and imported the sound, then I just 325 325
grabbed the video and the audio, which I showed you in, 326 326
earlier on in the current lecture you're watching. 327 327
They're all synchronized now. 328 328
I wanted this to kind of fade in nicely, instead of just 329 329
all of a sudden, boom there's my ugly face. 330 330
So, I dragged this here, see here cross is off, and this 331 331
here transition. 332 332
Always try to understand what the icon is, transition. 333 333
So, I can open this up, and if I didn't want to transition 334 334
for a, I'm just gonna turn the audio off for a second here, 335 335
transition that long, I can make it shorter even if I 336 336
wanted to. 337 337
I can have other ones too, like if I want to have this 338 338
kind of blurring effect, I could, so it would 339 339
blur like that. 340 340
Hit command z to undo, and we go back to the fade, which 341 341
we like, again. 342 342
Here we go, good. 343 343
Let me just double check, drag that on there, okay good. 344 344
Great. 345 345
Then what I'll do, and I just kept the audio low here, 346 346
but what I actually did is, there was a bit of an echo 347 347
as I was walking around my parents place in Toronto, 348 348
I'm back in San Fransisco now. 349 349
There was a bit of an echo, the acoustics weren't 350 350
designed there for recording. 351 351
So what I did, was I purchased this item called 352 352
Crumple Pop, and echo remover, and you can do a search 353 353
online to find that. 354 354
Then what you do is, once you install it, then I just 355 355
go down here, crumple, crump, and I would just drag this 356 356
and drop it on there. 357 357
I'm not gonna do it, cause I already did that. 358 358
Then, what you would do, is you would then send the 359 359
set the echo here, so you would release, or reduce the 360 360
echo as much as you can without over doing it. 361 361
So, here's what it sounds like without the echo removed. 362 362
(plays audio) 363 363
Bit of an echo, and then if I turn it on, and I select 364 364
remove echo here's what it sounds like. 365 365
(plays audio) 366 366
A lot better, and if I crank the strength up too much 367 367
though, it really distorts the video, er the audio too much. 368 368
Let me turn the audio up here, so you can hear it a bit 369 369
better. 370 370
(plays audio) 371 371
See, it's not good. 372 372
Too low, you'll get echo. 373 373
(plays audio) 374 374
Like goldilocks and the three bears, the middle makes 375 375
the best sounds. 376 376
(plays audio) 377 377
Okay, a bit better. 378 378
Good, great. 379 379
Then what I did was, I actually inserted a sidebar here, 380 380
then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna update this once I 381 381
publish this lecture. 382 382
What I did, I actually just purchased this little plug in 383 383
here from LenoFX as well. 384 384
Actually, I'm gonna go here to LenoFX just, becoming, 385 385
it's a great company and I'm not affiliated with them 386 386
in any way but I wanna make sure that you can access 387 387
their stuff if you're interested. 388 388
So, it's LenoFX.com and never buy anything here until 389 389
it goes on sale. 390 390
Now you know I'm not affiliated with them at all. 391 391
You can always search for the word coupon, and LenoFX, 392 392
or just get on their email list and they'll give you 393 393
sales 30 or 40 percent off every now and then. 394 394
So just be patient, and you can buy that stuff. 395 395
What I did here was, with this video here, I just 396 396
took my Osmo 2 device, and the Osmo 3 just came out 397 397
this morning by the way, and the Osmo 3 it's a little 398 398
bit more compact but it's just as good as the Osmo 2 399 399
I think. 400 400
Here is me carrying the Osmo 2 on top of the, my iphone 401 401
recording, and of course I've got my H1 audio right there, 402 402
and I labeled that properly. 403 403
Without that, the audio would be awful, so here's the 404 404
iphone audio. 405 405
(plays audio) 406 406
Let's turn this audio back on here, so I will hit v 407 407
visible. 408 408
A lot better.
