In today's video, I'm going to show you how you can take
a podcast interview and repurpose it into a really effective and stylistic
YouTube video. I'm going to show you how you can do that in premiere pro and Canva pro,
but you can really edit this in any video editing software with these same techniques.
This is a game changer for podcasters. You're really not going to want to miss out on this one.

And before we move on, I wanted to share some really exciting news with you that we
have partnered up with Nick. Nimmin our favorite YouTube coach put together a free online training
for podcasters called how to effectively use YouTube to grow your podcast. It's a free online
training. Starting soon, you can grab your seat for it by going to podcasting smart.com/youtube.
Okay. So like I mentioned, we're going to be using premier pro
and canvas pro to edit a remote podcast interview into a really cool YouTube video. Now,
all of the techniques that I'm going to be showing you are very basic editing techniques,
and you can apply these same techniques in any video editing software that you use.
So if you don't have premier pro you're still gonna find this video really helps. Well to watch
through, and this will really get your creative juices flowing about how you can effectively
edit a remote podcast interview to make the high performing really good looking YouTube video. All
right, well, let's jump into it right now. Okay. So first we're going to open canvas
and create a new design here. I will choose custom size and type in 1920 by 10 80 pixels.
Once in Canva, we can select a nice background color that is on brand.
Now, along the side in the left-hand toolbar. You'll notice elements. If we select elements,
we have all sorts of shapes and different designs we can play with and drag and drop
until we have something that we really like once we have a basic background that we're happy with,
we can then go back to that elements tab. And from here, let's choose frames and in frames,
let's pick a frame that will look good to hold the faces of the podcast host and the podcast guest.
We can drag these onto our design and resize them. Until we get them just how we want.
And we can also change the color of the border of these frames to get it looking just right.
I don't like this backend design anymore. I think I will just go with a solid color
in canvas. If you ever want to have two or more objects, move around as if they were one,
you can always group them and resize them that way. I love to do this, to get things just
right. Then you can click on the position button. And from here you can choose center. Now let's
feel each of the frames with the green color so that we can remove that in Adobe premiere to do
this, let's click on photos from the toolbar on the left and type into the search green screen.
Then we just pick the first thing that pops up and simply drag and drop this into our two frames.
Now we can give this design a name and when we're ready and satisfied, simply download it. Now,
if we hop over into Adobe premiere, you'll see that I already have the interview pulled in
on the timeline in premiere. Both cameras are here. I have them on top of each other.
So now let's combine these two cameras together and mix them with the overlay picks.
Sure. We just made, we drag the picture into the project. Now we zoom in on the
picture and adjust the timing so that it extends over the entire interview.
Now let's make a copy of each of these cameras and paste them later in the timeline.
Now we can grab them together and drag them on top of our overlay picture
here is a must know, quick key in Adobe premier. It's the, till the key or the back tick key,
usually right under your escape key. When you are hovered over any window or panel in premiere and
you press this key, it will maximize that window. This is very helpful for making advanced edits.
Now, if I drag the audio portion of this edit timeline down a bit so that I can get
a little more real estate here, it looks like we need to resize this overlay a little bit.
Now let's get rid of the green color to do this. Let's click on these two arrows that we see to
the left here to bring up this menu and from this menu select effects. And now in the search bar,
let's type in ultra. This brings up the effect called ultra key. We can then
drag this effect on top of our overlaid picture. Now in the top left box or panel up here,
you will see that we are looking at our effects controls from here. We can see the ultra key
effect is now applied to our overlay picture. If we scroll down a little bit, we see an eyedropper
tool. Let's use this eyedropper tool to click on the green color and boom, the green color is gone.
So now let's actually drag our overlay picture on top. Of the two cameras that we copied and
we will need to resize these two cameras so that each shot fits inside their frames. We
can easily adjust the scale or the position from the same top left affect controls panel.
Now, when I get to Aaron's camera here, you'll notice that we're actually going to
need to crop her shot a little bit so that it doesn't bleed over the top of the other shot.
Let's go back to the effects section to the bottom here and in the search bar.
Type in crop, we can then drag crop on top of Aaron's shot and you'll see, it appears
in the effect controls here. We can drag the right side a little bit until we get it right
where we want it. And would you look at that? We've made a nice custom on-brand looking camera
overlay now. Here's where things get really fun and we can combine this shot that we just
created with the other two shots. And then simply use the multicam editing feature in premiere to
quickly make an advanced and attractive edit. But first let's highlight all three layers
that we use to create this overlay shot. Once they're highlighted, if we hold the
control button and click or right click on a PC, a window pops up with a ton of options
from here. Let's select nest. Now let's rename it to together. Now we have combined all three
layers into a more manageable layer. Now before starting to use the multicam effect,
we need to make a few edits of the interview and cut out the parts of the interview that we
don't want to be in the final video and make a more enjoyable edit for our audience to do this.
We will want every layer to be selected. Anytime we make a cut, I like to have our overlay layer
that we created be on top. This way I can see both participants of the interview. Another great quick
key in premiere to memorize is the razorblade tool, which is C for cut. If you hold the shift
button while using the razor tool, you'll see the icon changes to have multiple razorblades.
That means it will cut every layer at the same spot. This is very useful for these types of
edits. Okay. Now that we've made all of our cuts, we're ready to combine all the cuts into a single
layer to do this. We will highlight all three layers and again, control right click and select
nest. Let's rename this to multicam and press. Okay. Now, if we right click or control, click
on our multicam layer, let's scroll to the middle of these options and hover over multi-camera. And
select enable. Now we have enabled multicam for all three of these shots. You'll notice,
however that we just see the one shot of Aaron. So what we will need to do is to hover to this
wrench icon, which is also the settings icon, and you'll notice there's a.next to composite video.
We want to change this to multi-camera. Now we see all three shots to the left and to the
right. We see the composite video. Now premiere has automatically assigned numbers to each one of
the shots. This top one is number one. The second one is number two and our overlay one is number
three. And now all I have to do is press play at the beginning of this interview and simply tap.
The one, two or three key on my keyboard and premiere will automatically change to that shot.
So let's just play through the whole interview and I will choose one, two or three tastefully.
And you'll notice when I press stop that premiere automatically creates,
cuts or splits in the nested layer that signify when the camera shot had changed.
And now that the main edit is done, let's select everything from the main edit
and slide it to the right, so that we can put the video intro. The Aaron recorded in place.
We'll drag the intro, clip onto the timeline and edit it up. As we see fit. Now let's drag
the short animated logo clip for the you're such a catch podcast and put it between errands intro
and the interview from the effects panel. I can choose a transition effect to move
from errands intro into this animated clip. I'll choose this zoom effect. Now during Aaron's intro,
she mentions her social media accounts. So let's pop back over to Canva and let's create a design
and choose Instagram post. Now let's go to our elements tab in our left-hand toolbar,
and I will search for Instagram and then Twitter and Facebook.
And I'll drag these logos into new pages. I will change the colors of these logos to the
you're such a catch brand colors. And when we're finished, we'll export these photos and make
sure to select transparent background before exporting. Now we can pop back into premiere,
import these photos into our projects and drag them into the timeline.
We can change their scale and position and move them right where we want them and have them come
in. Right. When she says Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, then in premiere, we can select the text
tool. For T for text and type in her tack, that's also drag on a picture of her guests
for when she's introducing your guest. Okay. And now to finish off the video,
we need an end card or an end screen the complaint for 20 seconds. At the end of our YouTube video,
let's custom. Make one in canvas. A really cool option here is to create a design at 1920 by 10
80 pixels. And then from the templates tab on our left-hand toolbar type in the search bar, YouTube,
this will populate a lot of templates that have something to do with YouTube
and inside these templates, you'll find some pre-made end screens here.
I'll choose a few and play around with some colors until I find one that I really like. I really like
this one with the water. I think this is the one I'm going to go with. And what's cool about this
design is it has an embedded video animation in it by clicking on this play button here and
on the video itself, I can actually adjust the time of how long this animation video will play.
So I will type in 20 seconds and this will be perfect for an end screen. When I'm done with
the design, I simply download the design, pop, open premiere and drag it right where I want it.
And I can even add another cross zoom effect. And finally, the last thing I will do for this
video project is to drag in some music selections into the project here, I'll choose a few different
songs that match the moments in the video, and I will place them in place stylistically.
This is another place. Use that Tilda quickie to full screen my edit window. You can really see
what's going on by pressing the Peaky. Which stands for pen. You can access the pen tool,
which allows you to draw in key frames anywhere on your audio clip. These key frames allow you to
adjust the volume levels, however you would like. So for this video, we will have the music at a
pretty high volume during that animated graphic. And then we'll bring the volume really low during
the majority of the video. And finally bring the volume level of the music back up again
for the end screen. And now we have a completed really well repurposed podcast interview,
and we're ready to simply go to file and export in this export window.
We want to make sure that the format says H dot two, six, four. And under the format,
premier has a bunch of built-in presets. We can scroll all the way down until we see YouTube
10 ADP by selecting this preset premier we'll export this video exactly how it needs to be
exported for YouTube. So you won't need to worry about any of the other settings here.
And all you have to do is press export. And as soon as this is done, we'll have a video
file ready to upload to YouTube. Let's not forget about a nice eye-catching thumbnail.
So while this video is exporting, we can hop back over into Canva. And we can select
some colors and fonts and pictures that really match and go with what this video is all about.
Here. I will experiment with the words bait and switch and different pictures of the
guest and maybe even objects for this particular design. I'm leaning towards
this picture of the switch and some captivating texts. And how are we have a video file and an
attractive thumbnail to upload to YouTube? Holy moly, pod, amigo, what did you think
