- I'm gonna show you 10 ways that you can make videos faster
and we'll start right now.
(upbeat hip hop music)
What is going on?
My name is Nick, welcome to another video.
If this is your first time here
and you wanna learn how to grow your channel,
make videos and all types of other YouTube related stuff,
start now by subscribing and clicking the bell
so you don't miss anything.
Okay, as a content creator, you gotta make a ton of videos
so it's extremely important that you learn
how to speed up that process
so that you can become a content producing machine.
The tips that I'm getting ready to give you are mine.
If you have any additions to this list,
please leave them down in the comments down below
for other people that are gonna be watching this video.
Number one, set aside time to brainstorm topics.
A lot of creators will say, okay, hey,
today is video day, I need to come up with a topic
to make a video about, what's it gonna be?
And then they just go a video at a time, a day at a time.
That is not the best way to do it
and you can cause yourself
a lot of stress doing it that way.
So if you can put out a block of time in one day
out of the month and sit down and write down a big list
of video ideas, that is massively going to help you
speed up your video creation process.
At the very least, try to come up
with two or three video ideas at a time
so that the rest of the information
that I'm sharing in this video will make sense
and it will help you with your work flow
of getting all this stuff together faster.
Number two is to mass produce your content.
This doesn't work for every time of channel out there
but if you're a talking head style channel
or a vlogger or something like that,
you can make a lot of content in one sitting.
Or in one roaming around if you're a vlogger.
But you get where I'm getting at.
What I'm trying to express is that
if the content that you make allows for it,
then making more than one video per session
will actually stack up your content
so that it kinda relieves that stress
and it will help you make videos faster.
Numero tres, three, I think that is?
Be or become a collector.
What I mean by that is, if you are making videos
to where you know that hey, I'm gonna be doing
these particular topics from step one.
Whenever it comes time to start
putting your graphics together
in terms of your video graphics,
your stock videos that you're using,
the stock photos and any of the actual graphics themselves
or any of that stuff that you need to go
and collect in order to add it to your videos,
when you know the videos that you're going to be making
it's going to massively help you collect
all of the right stuff and you can put it all
onto a folder so that when it comes
to making the other two or three videos,
then you're not gonna have to go
and look for all of that stuff
because you're gonna the majority of it already.
And that's very helpful if you're making
any type of educational content
or anything like that where you're having to like,
really dig into stuff in order to get the right images
and the right video clips for it.
Very helpful for that.
Four, use a consistent video structure.
If you have a consistent video structure,
then you know, hey, when my video starts, I gotta say this,
when my video opens up and I start getting
into the actual content,
then I need to do it kind of like this.
And when you have that structure in place
and you're doing it that way,
it's going to help you know,
hey, these are the things that I need to make sure
that I have in all of my videos,
so that you don't have to spend time
reinventing the wheel with every single video that you make.
Of course, if you're going like film making
then I know that you have to do things
a little bit differently because you're trying
to make each individual film,
you know, it's own unique piece
but for everybody else, this applies to you.
Five, use visual branding.
This helps you keep from having to recreate themes
for every single video that you make.
Here's what I mean.
Use the same intro in your videos.
Use the same lower thirds in your videos,
use the same transitions in your videos,
the same music if you want to,
the same end screens, all of it.
Basically get your asset packed together
and say, this is the stuff that I'm using in all my videos
and use it in all of your videos.
This saves you tons of time in recreating a bunch of stuff
to add to your videos.
Next up is to organize your work flow.
Here's the thing and this is why this is so important.
That thing that I said in the beginning
about making tons of content,
the more content that you make,
the easier it is to get unorganized.
So it's extremely important that you get
your folder structure together,
that you organize all your video assets,
your music, all the stock clips and photos
and all that stuff that you're going
in the actual process of, I'm gonna come up
with my video idea here, and then I'm gonna do
these particular things in order to create the content.
And then I'm gonna publish here
where I go through the publish,
this is the process that I'm actually going
to run through when I'm publishing
for putting my descriptions
and key words and all of that stuff.
Put together that standard operating procedure
and when you do, you're gonna get so familiar with it
that it's going to speed up every aspect
of what it is that you're going
when it comes to content creation.
Next up on the list is to use templates
as much as humanly possible.
Basically take your main editing template,
your actual video file, start with a blank one
and put all of your visual and audio assets into it.
All of your branding stuff, put it in there
so that when you open up that file,
all you have to do is go through it
and drop in your actual video clips
and then all of the other stuff, you just move it around.
It's already in there, you don't have to go find it
and pull it in and waste all of that time.
And I know you're thinking,
Nick, that's not really a ton of time,
you know, it's just a couple of minutes here
pulling in this intro and just a couple minutes here
grabbing this lower third,
and just a couple minutes here grabbing this end screen.
And yeah I get it.
But then you scale that over the course of, you know,
100 videos, it's a lot of minutes.
Next on the list is keeping it simple.
As content creators, we want our stuff
to be as awesome as humanly possible.
And a lot of cases, that means
that we're adding tons of stuff to the videos that,
in a lot of cases, we don't even really need.
That can be how we're editing,
that can be the amount of graphics that we're adding to it.
When we're adding graphics,
maybe it's the amount of motion
that we're adding to it and things like that.
It's, you know, it can get kinda difficult
to go simple, I'll be honest.
You know, you probably know it too.
But at the end of the day, if you can kinda cut back
on all the different things that you're going
and experiment with them to see
what is actually required and what's not,
it can make a really, really big difference.
Another thing that is also a very important factor
of keeping it simple is experimenting
with using bullet points instead of scripts
or experimenting of just going with a topic
and just rambling on about it and seeing how it comes out.
You know, see what works best for you
and what keeps it all simple
so that you can make videos faster.
Next one on the list is to keep your equipment set up
as long as that's possible.
I know you might record in your living room
where, you know, it's not really that practical
to leave everything setup.
You might record in your bedroom
where it's also not that practical to setup.
But if you can find a corner or you know,
another room or the basement or the garage,
or somewhere where you can keep your equipment setup,
it can help you with the process of making videos
because you don't have to set up your lights every time,
you don't have to move your tripod into place.
You don't have to just spend the time
adjusting everything and making sure
that everything's right.
It's there, you come in, you turn it on, and you go for it.
It makes everything so much faster
and you'll be so happy that you did that
if you can keep your equipment setup.
Next up is to plan everything.
The more that you know about what it is
that you are going to be creating,
the more that you're gonna open yourself up
for speeding up the process
because you're gonna know exactly what it is
that you're gonna be creating which means,
you know what assets that you need to collect
in terms of stock and all of that.
You know exactly how your structure is gonna be
and you can plan this entire thing out
so that your work flow is tight, it's all organized
and running like a smooth oiled machine
because you took an hour or two to sit down
and actually plan out what it is
that you're gonna be doing over the next few months.
It can all make a really big difference.
And if you can set aside the time
to plan all of this stuff out
and you know, just make it a priority.
Say, I'm gonna, you know what?
I'm gonna actually plan this stuff out
so that I can take some of the strain
and pressure off of making content.
It's really going to benefit you longterm
because this whole video thing, it's a longterm commitment.
And you can do it, no problem at all.
So just sit down, get your plan together,
figure out what it is you're gonna be doing.
Your video structure, how you can keep your gear setup
and all of that stuff and you'll be fine.
