shoot quality video here at my channel now guys if you've been involved with
video content before you can probably relate to how complicated and how
time-consuming creating great video content can be and really that's why we
wanted to put this video together is because knowing what tools and resources
to help you get that video created more effectively and efficiently is
definitely gonna help you do a better job with your video content plus if you
guys know anything about me and when I started this channel I wasn't a video
editor and I had to figure out how to do the editing on my own on a platform that
I could actually understand how to use so we're gonna talk about the platform
that I used in the very beginning to get my channel started and to start creating
video that was still quality but at the same time easy for me to edit so in
today's video again we're gonna talk about some beginner level software and
then some of the software that experts use and then I even brought my buddy Leo
from Kushi media to talk about the software that he prefers to use and he's
actually the guy that I'm hiring to do a bunch of my lifestyle type videos Pasha
cut to some b-roll of the lifestyle video
but yeah Leo is a great editor and videographer and he's gonna come in and
talk about some quick tips about his favorite software now guys before we get
into this whole thing on video editing software let me just stress how
important video content is no matter whether you're a small business with you
know just a local reach or a large brand that has a national or even an
international reach it doesn't matter you need to be involved in video because
people like to consume video they per actually prefer to consume video over
text content and that has been proven time and time again on social media and
I'm not saying completely get rid of just using any photos or just text but
at the same time you have to consider how important video is to find out about
how to shoot videos or how to go about that process for a client or even for
your own brand check out this video we put together in the top right hand
corner on that exact process I promise you like now I'm gonna kick it over to
Leo really quick and he's gonna talk about his favorite software hey guys
thanks so much for having me Jordan my name is Liam and qcn Guerra I'm a
professional videographer from Atlanta Georgia and I'm gonna talk to you guys
more about the more professional side of editing softwares and what option you
guys have and what I prefer so I left him onto the laptop okay so we're not on
the laptop and we're in Final Cut I actually prefer Final Cove Adobe
Premiere and I'm here to tell you guys a couple reasons why the first reason is
speed ripping this right here is a speed ramp in Final Cut you can just adjust
these tabs and move them around and do whatever you want to do with it and it's
really really easy to use and it's really really easy on your workflow in
Premiere it's a lot harder and more difficult to work with and it's just
really really tough to do another reason why I like Final Cut so much is because
of the plugins pixel film studios have some really good transitions to use I
also use em lutz color grading for final cut there's em flair which is a bunch of
lens flares and there's just a lot of options for plugins for Final Cut unlike
Adobe there are plugins for Adobe but what adobe has done is trying to
incorporate everything into the software so there's not a lot of third-party
options to do certain things okay the third reason why I like Final Cut so
much is because of just the ease of workflow it's much easier to use with
Adobe the rendering system on Final Cut is much faster it's just a easier
program to use that's all I really have to talk about with
professional editing software's I could go much more into detail but I would
take way too long I'm sure we'll do a video like that in the future thanks so
much Jordan for having me make sure you guys go follow me on Instagram koosy
media and yeah thanks so much guys so Leo is an apple guy like a lot of
designers are these days so obviously he's gonna prefer that Final Cut Pro but
if you're not an Apple user you might want to look at using Adobe Premiere and
this is a lot of people are familiar with like Adobe Photoshop and all of the
regular tools they're Adobe Premiere is the alternative to people who don't like
to use Apple products so there's a lot of the same features inside of Adobe
Premiere that are in existence in Apple final cut but like Leo said there are
some small differences that for designers might make your job a little
bit easier so feel free to check out both of those platforms for yourself and
get a feel for them if you're at the expert level or moving into the expert
level of video editing so a lot of you aren't expert videographers or video
editors and so what I want to do is show you guys now some of the beginner level
platforms that you'll be able to use and these are even you know platforms that
you can use at an intermediate level once you become really familiar with how
they actually work so let's talk about some of the easier platforms for you
guys to get started on and really something you can get started on today
and with some practice can become an expert really quickly so PowerDirector
by CyberLink is one of the next tools i want to talk about as you can see here
we've got a quick little promo video it's not a platform that I've used
personally but it is one that I've heard of and heard from my editing friends who
use editing software that it is a decent software for beginners we're gonna talk
about the one that I personally used here in a minute and we'll actually do
an onscreen walk through that platform but cyber the the CyberLink platform is
great again for the basic user you can see right here even we'll get into this
you can see you can quickly put images into something to make a really
interactive video piece they have a bunch of filters and everything that
you're going to want to be able to set up what looks like a professionally
designed video even though you're not using a professional editing software
it's more of the beginner level software it takes everything and makes it super
compressed and easy for you to work with okay so hitfilm Pro is another platform
that was recommended to me by another video editing friend of mine actually he's
someone who works for me and does video editing and this is a platform that
before he got to an expert level that he started on way back when and he said
it's just as easy it's very similar to the previous platform that we mentioned
by CyberLink PowerDirector it's very similar but he said this platform felt a
little more clean the company itself seemed a little more modern to work with
so in his opinion was much better you can see here there's sound meters you
have all of the different clips and streams of clips the layers that he's
basically adding into this design right here so it's a great platform again for
beginners now let's go ahead and move into the platform that I use and we'll
do a quick walkthrough of using that platform because it is really super
simple and it's super easy to use now the last platform I'm going to show you
is called filmora and it's by wondershare and again I don't make any
affiliate revenue revenue off of promoting this platform it's just
something that I recommend using if you need basic video editing like I
mentioned or something to quick create quick promos like if you just need
something to create quick 15-second 30-second promos that'll allow you to
add layers to the video do audio editing and adjustment color editing and
adjustment clip things this is seriously one of the best platforms that I've
found and used and it gives you a bunch of different filters you can see filters
there's overlays there's elements that you can include you can do split-screen
and kind of like break up how you want the actual video to be playing like I
showed you on one of the first ones so I can have like three four videos playing
in this one real at one time showing different things right so it's just a
cool platform to use and it makes it super easy because if I want to say use
this split screen all I have to do is click apply and then boom it's got this
little video right here and all I have to do is choose what what videos I want
to use in which drop zone right so the top drop zone would have one video the
bottom drop zone or number two drop zone really would have another video so it
makes it super easy now if I want to get rid of that I just click on it and press
delete on my keyboard and boom it's gone right so let's go back to media I'll
show you guys we created this little mean here the other day
but I also updated this video on the platform I will just show you because
all you need is about 15 seconds to a minute of footage to be able to tell and
this is about looks like a minute long right so the cool thing is look I can
actually take this footage and I can stretch it out so that way I can get
more granular with where you know how much time I'm trying to take out like if
I need to get down to the millisecond I can stretch that all the way out and I
can get down to the millisecond of where I'm actually trying to take out of this
video and you can see I can stretch all the way along the video and find where
I'm trying to take out so that way if you have quick cuts that need to be made
it's super easy right let me get a video in here with some audio I'll show you
another cool thing because a lot of people want to know how to do this kind
of stuff this example or this video right here you guys can see when I
upload this in here if it were to it's gonna take a second to load because it
is a it's gonna take a second to load because as you can see if you actually
look at it you can see the small little gray ridges right here that's the audio
so if I press play cool you can hear audio hey right but what if I don't want
that audio so you can see the audio better right there is audio starts
talking right what if I don't want it in there right I can actually do an audio
detach and then boom now the audio is separate I can break up separate pieces
of audio or I can get rid of it all together and for a promo music right
over that video so again super easy to do text credits if I wanted to add a
subtitle or a lower third in there right so I just wanted to add something in to
kind of promote it beforehand or something like an opening title right
you know opening title and then I could even go under and adjust the bottom side
of the opening title right here we can change the text size the font whether
it's bold or italic we can do a different style of text we can add
animation to the text right so it's really really easy to use and then once
you get done creating everything you can save it as a preset and use it over and
over and over again another cool feature is they'll save all of this stuff inside
of a cloud drive for you so you don't actually have to save everything on your
computer if you don't like now that's just something you can choose to do or
not to completely up to you but that's the Moriya it's the platform that I
learned how to edit on it is very easy to use again and to learn and if you're
looking for that quality video for a client and you just
need something that you can do because you don't want to hire a video editor
yet or if you're just running your business and you need someone in your on
your team to be able to edit video really quickly this is definitely the
platform I recommend so check the description below for all of the links
for all of these platforms that we recommended they'll be right below again
the video and leave any comments if you have any questions about specifically
about filmora and if you have any questions about final cut I'll have Leo
jump on and he'll help answer the questions you guys might have so really
quick question before we wrap this up how do you currently edit videos are you
using a software to edit video and if you are what software are you using
please leave it in the comments below so that way I know what you're using I'd
like to see if there's any other softwares that maybe I didn't mention
that other people might want to be aware or just because I want to know what
software you use and see what the pop most popular one is maybe there's a
reason I should switch to what from what I'm using or maybe I should learn a new
software who knows but that's it for this video thank you guys so much for
