Scott, I got a question for you. -I have an answer. Domain. -Close.
-Really? What do YouTubers use to edit videos. Like what software? -I have a
couple of ideas because I've used them myself. Do you want me to answer now or
wait for this cool open music.... -Yeah. Just wait a few seconds and then
we'll tell you. Okay. So, I am a YouTuber, you're a YouTuber. -Yes. And we know a
whole lot of YouTubers. So we know what they use to edit their videos. So, there
are 3 main answers. First one... -First one, Filipinos. -That's not the main answer.
-That's my answer. -Right. Because that is the exact answer. "What
do you use to edit your videos?" Filipinos. -But we're talking software.
-Okay. So, software, there's iMovie and Final Cut Pro. Both Apples... -True. -Both
Apple versions. -Yep. iMovie is the free one that comes on the phone or
the Mac and then Final Cut Pro. Cuts a three hundred dollar one-time upgrade.
Which is pretty cool. And then there's Adobe Premiere. -Mm-hmm.
I know people that use all of them. Like there's some that... Because iMovie is just
so simple. And they think that Final Cut Pro is more complicated. Because it has a
few more... It basically, it takes the throttle off. -It has less automation. Final
cut pro. You know what I mean? Like, if iMovie takes some steps and just
makes them gives them names, you know. -Yeah.
-Final Cut Pro con it gives you more the ability to tweak and do anything and things yourself.
-And that would definitely be the difference between Final Cut Pro and premier. I'll
just give you specific examples. So, if I'm... if I'm filming on green screen and I
want to you know, then key out that green background and replace it with something
else, in Final Cut Pro it's like a couple clicks. It just does it for me. I don't
have to go in and fine-tune all these things because it just... And it does a
really good job. But if I try and do the same thing in Premiere, I've really got
to take a lot of time to fine tune and tweak.
And I do have a lot more control. -Mm-hmm -But it I can't get it as good. Now, I've
had my team in the Philippines use premier and they know how to
fine-tune it and they can get it to look really really good. But when I do it in
Final Cut Pro it's... It's just, it's just as good and it's... -They're not using
Mac's over there. -That's right. So, that's why they use premier. -Yeah. And we just
don't do a whole lot of green screen anyway. But that was just a side note. So,
what I've used, I started using iMovie and it was great. And then I upgraded to
Final Cut Pro. One of the biggest upgrades is there is a throttling
that is taken off. iMovie runs slower and processes and renders slower than Final
cut pro. They just throttle it down because it's their free version. -Yeah. And
if you're going to deal with layers, meaning you've got camera A, camera B, you've got
this audio, this audio and you want to put in a background image or a text
overlay. In iMovie, you're limited to how many layers you can have. -That's true.
Yeah. -I remember what number but it's it's only a couple. -Yeah, yeah. -But
there's no limit in Final Cut Pro. There's obviously no limit in Adobe
Premiere. Now, a lot of YouTubers that are doing a lot more color correcting and
that are doing more cinematic stuff. Majority of them, not all, but majority of
them, they lean towards Adobe Premiere. -Mmm. -So, you know, take that into
consideration. I know that the Devin Supertramp for example. They do a lot of
color correction and post-production. And they film on big, you know, red cameras.
What are they? The red dragon. Whatever they are. That cost like 80 grand for one
camera. I don't filming an 8k. I guess if you're going to do that, you need to go with
premiere, I guess. That's it I would say. -I would imagine most people watching this are
kind of individual entrepreneurs or maybe just getting started or things
like that. You're going to you know, film on a DSLR camera like this that films in HD.
I have one of my cameras films in 4k but I intentionally don't film and 4k most
of the time unless I'm intentionally wanting to crop it and still render it
in in 1080p HD. Where was it gone with that? -Well you
were saying that... I don't know. -I guess it was going back to what software do I
recommend. I guess 1080p, it doesn't matter. -I
remember... And maybe things have changed. I used Adobe Premiere years ago than I
switched over to Mac. And I just remember that like the Mac product, that Final
Cut Pro and iMovie, they sort of intuitively know what constraints
you're using. Like you know, the video comes in and it automatically knows this
is 1080p blah blah blah. I just remember I'm premiere. I always had to like select
that myself. -Mmm. -Otherwise it didn't fit in the frame...
-I would define that as... Apple's Final Cut Pro is kind of more
all the controls are a little bit more intuitive. You don't really... Like in
Premiere, you can do things really quick if you know shortcut, like keyboard
shortcut. -Yeah. -And how to switch between tools and... But if you know, you kind
of got to really learn oh there's 4 different ways of doing it. I prefer this
one combined with this one. And so, if you really are editing every single day and
whatnot you could learn all that and become really fast. But in Final Cut Pro,
really, you can pick it up a lot quicker. And because I have a team that
does my editing, every time I go back to edit something and I'm... When I used
Premiere I feel like, "Can I do this again?" But when I go into Final Cut Pro, I just
remember real quick. -Now, Final Cut Pro, do they have a PC version or is it...? -I think
you might... You might have to... I don't think they create a PC version but I
think you can like get something to make it work. I don't... Anyway.
-I was curious. Yeah. I mean, yeah. If you don't have a Mac, just go with premiere.
That's... -Right. That's basically... -If you've got a Mac, use Final Cut Pro. -But with Mac you could use either?
But yeah. But... -I've got both on my computer. I actually have a listing of
kind of different categories. Or you know, reasons that there might be pros and
cons. So, let's talk about time to render. Final Cut Pro renders quicker. In my
experience, it renders quicker. Just on my computer. So I'll say, on my macbook, it's
a 2013. Still running like new. It's... I love. Anyway. It's amazing. And I... You
know, I got a really upgraded version when I bought it. But when I render a
video and Final Cut Pro is probably a third of the time that it takes to
render the same project in Premiere. I don't know why that is. And Final Cut Pro,
it's really good at rendering in the
background. So, if I hit render and I go back in and I start editing other things,
it doesn't slow down my computer. -It's amazing. -Where is premier, you export
it to the medium coder... And it just, it does bug things down a little bit. So, we
found some work runs with my team that we sync it to another computer and have
that computer render while they can still edit on that. -Oh, that's nice. -Actually using two
different computers. Let's talk about file size. Now, there's kind of
some pros and cons. Well file size... There's actually some cons to Final Cut
Pro. The project file to like save it and transfer it, It like creates the whole
package that includes the the root files plus these large... Like you might have a
project that's only, you know, 10 gigabytes or 5 gigabytes or anyway. But
it seems like when you're creating a project, somehow, 30 gigabytes of space
are used up on your computer. And if you don't, then go out and clear that out
you're just your your computer just automatically fills. So, it's really weird
that Final Cut Pro does that. I've noticed that. -So, whereas Adobe Premiere
has the project file. As we talked about is only really... You know, so that was...
That's a big advantage to premiere. -Yeah, for sure. We already talked about Mac or
PC. Like if you're, if you're on a Mac. You know, but if you're not on a Mac, you
probably don't want to use Final Cut Pro. -But you know, it's funny. But I used a PC forever.
We... I mean a lot of us took a while to switch over. But you hear enough people
saying max their performance, their software, you know, you don't drop frames.
It's just... It's like it's tighter. It's more comprehensive. And it's so true. I
mean, I just trust... And I just have a little MacBook Pro, you know. Just a
little 13-inch screen. Not a huge operating system or whatever.
-Mine's 15 inch. -But... Well, that's because you're a man. But I mean, I literally can
do almost anything. And like you say, it goes faster, it seems to be just more
intuitive. And it's also the whole, the whole process itself. I trust more. Like
it's... Like it was designed for this kind of work. Or as Pc's or for all kinds of
business applications and writing letters you know. -So, the next category. The next 2. I
have is it a new or old computer that you've got. And then topic of green screen.
I kind of want to talk about those together. So, if I were
filming on green-screen and editing on my MacBook, I keep pointing right there.
Because my MacBook is right there. I can just leave it there. I can film on
green-screen and edit the full video, no problems on my 2013 MacBook in Final Cut
Pro. And have it have no problem. But it can't handle doing green screen in
Premiere. Because it's just older. I would need a more advanced... So I have PC upstairs that's
like a 2018 brand new advanced gaming computer. There's no games on it. It's
just so it just render... It can render and Premiere, green screen editing and
large... It could just handle a lot more or lots of things
simultaneously. -Yeah. My MacBook could not handle premiere, editing, advanced stuff
like that. But it's... What I love is it's... How old is that now? 5 years? -6
years. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's... I bought it in the fall of '13. -So, 5. -So, 5
years. But... -Yeah, but it was sitting on the showroom floor for who knows how long. -It's
should just me from China... -There you go. -It... But it's like flawless. It
behaves like new when I'm using Final Cut Pro. -Yeah. -It's amazing. -Yeah. -No matter
how advanced the project is or how you know.... It's a 15 minute video, it has no
problem... -Yeah. -...at all. So, I love it. Another topic here is, if you're planning on
hiring people in the Philippines, we've kind of talked about this and in other
videos. You want to all be using the same software and that's just going
to default towards premier. Premier just go with premier for a sharing of project
files and syncing on Dropbox and whatnot. But I recommend for you know, editing
videos. Just kind of study what other YouTubers that kind of match your style.
Study what they do, study how they do it. Learn from them. Like for example, I
recommend... You know, Casey Neistat. He might film a video where it shows him
opening a door and walking into the room. Like really think about, "Okay, how did he
film that?" He obviously came in here, set down in the camera, left the room, close
the door and then came back in and walked over and picked up his camera. And
then if he's outside and he's got a shot of him running pass
the camera, well he already ran up, propped up the camera, ran back ran past
and then her head back to get the camera. So, it's kind of like, you know, study how
did they do that. Or how did they do this time lapse? How did they do this
slow motion? And just kind of figure out you know, how are they doing this? So, this
kind of applies to the software. It's like, what editing techniques are
they using? Maybe not so much what software are they using. But how are they...
Are they doing it... Just study what other people are... -And there's certainly
no shortage of YouTube videos that show you exactly the nuts and bolts of Adobe
Premiere or FCP. -Yeah. And then my last tip is I'm going to actually recommend not
to film in 4k. It's 5 times the file size and there's no point to it. Most,
the views that I get on my channel and all my other channels are
coming on phones that... -You can't ever know the difference. -You never know the
difference. And yet it's such a huge file size. The
argument in the in the YouTuber community is that... Or it's got a
future-proof my business. If i film everything in 4k. But like, it doesn't
future-proof my business. All this footage that i filmed in the past, why in
the past. Why in the future, even if people do have 4k whatever's, why am i
going to need to have that in 4k? Just like, Devin Supertramps one that said that. But
he films an 8k. And he sells his footage to like Hollywood studios. So, I guess if
he wants them to still buy his old footage. -Yeah. -You guys, you don't need you
don't need to film in 4k. Because it just... It requires higher rendering power on
your computer. It'll slow things down. A little quadruped all the time it takes
for files to transfer. And I mean the only times that I film in 4k, even on
this. You'll notice that right now, we're in full screen. Maybe we are. And then
sometimes it'll zoom in and or crop it and it will just show me. So, that's less
than 1080p. And yet it still looks pretty clean. -I must. I will make an argument for
what Devin... -Okay, argue. Yeah. -...talks about a little bit. And that is depending on the
content of your video. So for example, if you know, if he's getting amazing outdoor
shots that from me, I don't always watch on a phone. I am at a desk
quite a bit. And sometimes I pull up a video. Sometimes that brilliant, almost
lifelike resolution is so stunning to me that I'll watch whatever he puts on. You
know what I mean? Like or whoever these people are that do these fun outdoor
things. It's like it's so brilliantly clear and crisp and you go, "That's on
my computer." You know? And he's shooting live footage in Bangladesh
or whatever and they're dancing in the streets and something or whatever. Whereas
you know, like for this one, for example. We're just two sort of static figures
sitting here. And it doesn't... -Here's the question for you. What
resolution were you watching that video in? -Well, I was watching it as high
as my computer would allow me to watch it. Probably 1080p. -Yeah, but my point is
is it does look better than our 1080p. You know what I'm saying?
Because it was... And I'll argue... -...recorded in that... -Well, I'll argue not that because
it was 4k. But because he used... He probably, he does film in raw and then he
goes in and enhances the colors and everything... -Oh, maybe so... He correction and...
-So, he does. I mean, the cameras that I'm... The cameras we have today do really good.
I mean, the picture quality that you're seeing right now is really good.
But I'm not... We're not doing any enhancing. We're not, we're not color
correcting which we could. We're not really doing any post-production in the
way of that. And I would argue that the 4k doesn't have an impact on that. That's
just the resolution. So, if you're to watch it on a big huge 4k TV. You would
notice a difference. But when you're just watching on a computer... -Just... That's just
my opinion. Take every what it's worth. Hey, hey, good to have you. Great to be
here. Thanks so much. Hopefully you enjoyed our little video our little
chat. Some discussion. (*Whispers Tell them to subscribe) -Tell them to subscribe.
Oh, am I supposed to say that? -Yeah. You're supposed to subscribe. -Tell them to buy
something. -You heard him. Buy something. We must be selling something somewhere. Look
for something to buy on screen. See you next time. -Alright. Take care.
