Instructor: So go up here to Lecture 4. 2 2
All right. 3 3
And again, I will only cover concepts 4 4
that I haven't discussed yet in this section of the course. 5 5
So this is where it got kinda complicated. 6 6
I had many different layers of video at the same time, 7 7
and what I love doing is just turning on and off layers. 8 8
And so right here here, 9 9
watch this layer here, this is the GoPro, 10 10
and I'm going to go over to the Canon 11 11
by just turning off this layer. 12 12
So, I just hit the letter V, turn it on and off. 13 13
And what you can do is you hit the letter B, for blade, 14 14
and you can cut items, so I could cut here. 15 15
And say I wanted to turn this back on here, I could do so. 16 16
Control + Z to undo that cut. 17 17
What's really powerful is if you hit Control + Shift + B, 18 18
it cuts all those layers together. 19 19
Do you see that? 20 20
Anyway, hit Control + Z to undo that. 21 21
Let's do it again. 22 22
Control + Shift + B, for blade, 23 23
it slices everything, which is pretty cool. 24 24
It's pretty cool. 25 25
And, let me undo that, 26 26
let's say I just wanted to slice this and this, 27 27
but I wanted this slice here and here to match perfectly. 28 28
What I would do is make sure this item here is on, 29 29
it's kinda like Snap to Grid, so I would go here, 30 30
and if I move this around, 31 31
watch how it snaps right there, see how it snapped? 32 32
Then I know exactly where to do it here, okay? 33 33
If I didn't have that snap on, watch what happens. 34 34
As I get closer to here, it doesn't snap. 35 35
Control + Z a few times to undo that. 36 36
I usually leave this on. 37 37
Okay, and now I'm gonna hit the letter A 38 38
to get rid of the blade. 39 39
Moving on, let's see. 40 40
Yeah, and you can see I did it down here as well. 41 41
I cut here, so this is the iPhone 42 42
and this GoPro level, if I wanted this level here GoPro 43 43
to be shown, I'd hit V to show it, make it visible. 44 44
V again to make it invisible. 45 45
And I used the Blade Cut feature here. 46 46
It gets complicated, 47 47
that's why labeling everything properly makes sense. 48 48
I kinda messed up here. 49 49
I didn't name the iPhone images here, 50 50
but I named every other item there. 51 51
Okay. 52 52
If you get confused where items are 53 53
within this current lecture, 54 54
you can always go here to Index, 55 55
and click on whatever items you see there 56 56
and it'll immediately take you to that point, 57 57
so we're at one minute, eight seconds. 58 58
I'll just remember that 59 59
'cause we'll come back to that in a second. 60 60
Let's say I wanted to find, 61 61
where did I put the 13th video for GoPro? 62 62
You click that and it'll find it down there, see? 63 63
Okay, back to 1:08. 64 64
Okay, and I'm gonna zoom out here, 65 65
I'm gonna hit Command + Minus to zoom out. 66 66
And I'm gonna hide a lot of stuff here, less is more. 67 67
Whoops, that's the only one I want. 68 68
And I'll get rid of that there. 69 69
Okay, cool. 70 70
So let's see if there's anything else I want to do here. 71 71
I think that's it. 72 72
And this device here, 73 73
it's called an Atomos external recorder, 74 74
and it's really helpful if you're recording in 4K 75 75
because a lot of cameras, if you want to just buy 76 76
memory sticks to go into them, 77 77
they actually can't be more than just 78 78
a couple hundred gigabytes, so this thing will record 79 79
four terabytes at a time, which is helpful 80 80
when you're doing 4K which takes up a heck of lot of memory. 81 81
All right, let's see here. 82 82
A lot of cutting down here, going back and forth, 83 83
and the great thing about recording 84 84
with a lot of different cameras at the same time 85 85
is if I mess up, and I do mess up a lot, 86 86
I don't have to retake that shot. 87 87
I just shift to another camera, 88 88
and nobody knows that I made a mistake. 89 89
I mean, I just cut out stuff in the middle. 90 90
Okay, let's see here, anything else that's new. 91 91
I think that might be it. 92 92
Okay, cool. 93 93
Yeah, that's it, okay. 94 94
Now what I'll do is, 95 95
I'm going to move onto lecture number five. 96 96
So let me open this up here so I can see all of my items. 97 97
And we'll go to Lecture 5, and sometimes I'll throw in 98 98
dot lectures like 7.5 because I decided that 99 99
between lectures seven and eight, 100 100
I wanted to put another lecture 101 101
for Wirecast part one and two. 102 102
All right, so let's go to lecture number five. 103 103
Okay, and let me just hide this. 104 104
Less is more. 105 105
Great, okay. 106 106
And I'll go back to being here, and always, 107 107
I will only talk about concepts 108 108
that I've not explained before. 109 109
And, as always, if you have questions 110 110
on how to use anything in Final Cut, let me know please. 111 111
I love using it. 112 112
For those of you with Macs, you might have started out 113 113
recording your kids using iMovie, 114 114
and then you graduate to Final Cut, 115 115
which is like iMovie but just a little bit more, 116 116
a little bit more complicated. 117 117
All right, let me see here. 118 118
I don't really think there's much more to explain. 119 119
I think we probably covered all the concepts. 120 120
Yeah. 121 121
So, what I'll do now is, 122 122
let me just zoom out here. 123 123
So this is the GoPro angle I had at my parents' shelf, 124 124
which was kinda cool, it was lot of fun. 125 125
And that's me carrying, obviously, my Canon M50 126 126
with a Ronin-S, and I had this on auto focus. 127 127
And if you auto mode for your camera, just be careful 128 128
because your camera tries to think like you. 129 129
It's basically thinking, I want to please the operator 130 130
by automatically focusing on this person's face, et cetera, 131 131
and automatically making certain colors brighter 132 132
and contrast and all that stuff. 133 133
But once you use cameras a lot, 134 134
you want to move into manual mode, 135 135
because you want to do more sophisticated things 136 136
like not have this always focusing on your face 137 137
or other areas, and not changing the brightness 138 138
or the contrast when you walk 139 139
from the inside to the outside 140 140
where it gets really, really bright. 141 141
You want to do all that manually yourself. 142 142
Oh, and by the way, if you ever walk outside with a camera 143 143
and the camera gets confused 144 144
and it's really bright for a second, 145 145
and then the camera adjusts just a second or two later, 146 146
the way around that, and this is kinda tricky, 147 147
is you can get a filter, a Neutral Density filter, 148 148
it's called an ND filter, 149 149
and you put it on the end of your camera. 150 150
And get one of those ones where when you twist it, 151 151
it gets darker or lighter. 152 152
And this is tricky, but as you walk outdoors 153 153
and it's getting brighter, put your hand here 154 154
and twist slightly, 155 155
it's like putting sunglasses on gradually, 156 156
so that your camera will be able to 157 157
immediately adapt to the bright light outdoors. 158 158
Okay, let me just scroll over here quickly. 159 159
Yeah, okay, great. 160 160
So, now let me move onto, I think I'm going to jump 161 161
right to lecture number seven, which covers Wirecast, 162 162
the software I use to make YouTube Live events. 163 163
'Cause at number six, 164 164
I don't think I did anything different in this lecture. 165 165
Oh no, I did actually, one more quick thing, sorry. 166 166
So, in lecture six, what I did here is, 167 167
I just did a screen record on my iPhone, 168 168
and I'm sure it works the same way 169 169
with your Android handset, 170 170
and then I just emailed it to myself 171 171
or did an Air-Share or whatever, 172 172
and then imported it directly here into this lecture. 173 173
All right, number seven, setting up a webcast. 174 174
And some of you might be using, 175 175
might not want to use Wirecast for YouTube Live events. 176 176
You can use something called OBS, 177 177
which is free open source software. 178 178
OBS stands for open broadcast software. 179 179
It's just a lot more complicated to use, 180 180
and I just didn't have the time to learn it, 181 181
but it's quite similar, actually, to Wirecast. 182 182
And I like Wirecast because I can get 183 183
technical support as well. 184 184
Okay, so let me see if there's anything 185 185
I want to talk about here. 186 186
Look at all those layers. 187 187
It gets really, really complicated after awhile, 188 188
but it's a lot of fun, too. 189 189
And that's why labeling everything is so important, 190 190
every camera angle that you can, I made a little typo there. 191 191
I meant to say Mac screen recording of YouTube Live. 192 192
Yeah, and for the screen recording, you just use QuickTime 193 193
which is what I'm using right now, 194 194
or if you're using Windows, if you want, 195 195
if you have PowerPoint, you can always insert 196 196
a screen recording as well within PowerPoint on Windows, 197 197
but not on the Mac yet for some reason. 198 198
Okay, let's see what else we have here. 199 199
Yeah, that's Wirecast. 200 200
And if anybody has any questions on Wirecast, 201 201
I love that software, let me know. 202 202
It actually helps me when you ask me really tough questions 203 203
'cause when one teaches, two learn. 204 204
Okay. 205 205
I think that might be it. 206 206
Let me just fast forward over here, 207 207
and if there's certain topics I haven't talked about 208 208
within Final Cut, please let me know. 209 209
What I did, by the way, here, 210 210
is I flipped the screen around. 211 211
So what you can do is you can go here, 212 212
and you just type in the word flip. 213 213
You take flip and you drag it 214 214
on whatever you want to flip around. 215 215
Let's see. 216 216
That's probably it. 217 217
I think I've covered everything there is to cover. 218 218
Yeah, and again if I've missed anything, please let me know. 219 219
This one here, this yellow light drove me nuts, 220 220
and there wasn't that much I could do about it, 221 221
when I showed the makeup thing. 222 222
You see how the lighting is fine here, 223 223
and then you go in here and the lighting gets all messed up. 224 224
It's tough, as it's kind of a yellow light 225 225
in this room at my parents' house. 226 226
What you could do, though, is if you wanted to, 227 227
this would take a long, long time, is you can go over here 228 228
and play around with the color board. 229 229
I tried, unsuccessfully, so here, the color, 230 230
it used to look like that, 231 231
and I tried to neutralize the yellow a little bit there. 232 232
And you can also play around with 233 233
what's called the white balance. 234 234
And let me quickly talk about white balance very fast. 235 235
Every camera doesn't know the color white, okay? 236 236
But if you tell it what the color white is, 237 237
then it can figure out every single color, 238 238
and the reason it doesn't understand what white is, 239 239
is because every time you film in different environments, 240 240
the color white is slightly different. 241 241
It might be slightly beige, et cetera. 242 242
And you can always adjust the white balance. 243 243
And for whatever camera you're using, 244 244
just go to Google Search and enter your camera model 245 245
and then search for white balance 246 246
and just watch a YouTube video on it. 247 247
Usually you can do it within the operating system 248 248
on your camera, and usually you just take a picture 249 249
of something white or what's called a white balance card 250 250
to teach the camera what the color white is. 251 251
But I probably should've done that here, 252 252
just to make this seem a little bit less yellow. 253 253
My bad. 254 254
Okay, that's number eight, and let's see. 255 255
Number nine, Conclusion. 256 256
Oh yeah, this is fun. 257 257
So all I did here is, I actually used 258 258
a JOBY device, which is kinda like a selfie stick, 259 259
and I put it on my Canon M50 260 260
and I attached it to the bridge. 261 261
And then, for the audio, 262 262
I wore a Lavalier here connected under my shirt 263 263
into the H1n Zoom device, 264 264
which I highly recommend. 265 265
I love it, it's real easy to use. 266 266
It's what I'm using right now to record this video, too. 267 267
And then what I did was I actually, on the Canon M50, 268 268
which was up here recording on the JOBY device, 269 269
I actually had the road video on my Pro on the top recording 270 270
so I could easily synchronize. 271 271
And I'll show you here 272 272
the way that I was able to synchronize this. 273 273
It can be a nightmare if you forget to record audio 274 274
on your camera device. 275 275
Inspiring views. 276 276
Yeah, so anyway, 277 277
that's how I synchronize that. 278 278
Yeah, yeah, and that basically sums it up. 279 279
It sums it up, and so that's how I use Final Cut. 280 280
What's really important is 281 281
if you're just getting started with Final Cut, 282 282
try to get as many plug-ins as you can initially 283 283
just so it can help you to work smarter and not harder. 284 284
And there's a lot of free plug-ins 285 285
that you can download as well, 286 286
and they're a lot of fun to play around with as well. 287 287
Again, if you have additional questions, 288 288
please let me know, and thank you as always.
