(upbeat music)
- I love this song.
This song is everything.
(upbeat music)
it's so clean!
(up beat music)
What's up guys?
I've purposely got the most outrageous wild haircut.
Cause that's about the wildest thing that's happened
to me over the last seven weeks.
I've been in lockdown here in beautiful fun of Queensland.
Hope you guys have been doing well.
Welcome back to my YouTube channel.
Today I'm gonna be teaching you guys,
five must know tips,
for better GoPro videos.
So the video that you just saw,
believe it or not,
was shot on the GoPro hero eight.
I know some of the content that I
look at when I review
this,
this stuff I've captured on this camera
blows me away.
Today we're gonna be using a very simple application
on our desktop.
I was,
you know I got this message recently.
I get this message a lot.
When I ask you guys what kind of content you want
and it says,
"How to edit GoPro content
on mobile devices and then export to social media."
From Ian.
This is a very frequently asked question.
Now today,
this can be,
this whole thing can be done on your mobile,
because I'm using Adobe premiere rush
but I am editing it on my desktop.
And the reason why I'm editing on my desktop is because,
first and foremost,
I just think I would learn to edit on your desktop first.
It's just a lot easier to get into the flow
of editing more so than using your mobile device.
But that's what I say.
This cannot be done.
This 100% be transported into mobile.
So let's get stuck into it.
(upbeat music)
If you are interested in using Adobe premier pro
or Adobe premier rush.
Cause that's what I'm going to be editing in today.
It is,
you kind of get a free trial.
So if you want to test it out
or you wanna play along at home,
you can do that.
I'll put a link.
A top link in the descri...
in the description is
to grab yourselves a copy of Adobe premier rush.
Now with the free trial,
you only get three exports.
You can only export three projects.
You get I think two gigabytes of storage
on Adobe creative cloud.
And,
that's,
that's about all you get.
If you want to then subscribe singular just
to Adobe premier rush,
you can do that.
And I think it's for Aussies.
It's about 15 bucks a month.
At the very very top of this list,
one thing which I think can seamlessly
and easily better your GoPro edits is understanding speed.
(upbeat music)
All right.
So jumping into Adobe premiere rush
you'll notice on my screen right now.
You can see my beautiful clip,
of the Sahara desert.
Much like my hair,
it's very wild.
But this clip doesn't quite feel the frame.
Why is that?
That's because the initial clip that I dragged
into this project was 4k,
which has set the workspace at 4k.
I'm pretty sure.
And this clip is filmed at 2.7 K.
Now the reason why I filmed that 2.7 K is
because I wanted to get a buttery slow motion clip.
(upbeat music) So for those of you
that have all those questions about,
you know what frame rate you use,
well, if you want super slow motion
and you want to be able to slow clips
down that look really nice, buttery, silky smooth
then you have to shoot them at the high frame rate.
That's why I'll choose to shoot
in one 20 frames a second with hyper smooth on, on my GoPro.
And I'm capturing it in 120 frames.
So, things to note.
the first thing,
on the right side of this panel,
you can,
you can address the fact that
it doesn't quite fill the frame,
by very simply going down to maintain proportions here.
It says the scale,
and we can type in 143,
143 is like the exact number.
I've just worked that out.
If you,
you know,
if you don't want to do that
you can just drag the slider off and go,
Oh,
well, there it is.
It fits the frame.
(giggles)
But 144 is like one
pixel to too much.
So I'm making sure that I'm getting
every piece of pixel or every pixel
every part of the frame in the,
in the workspace.
So there it is.
I've maintained the proportions.
I've quickly um,
scaled it up.
Now the next thing we're going to look
at on the right is the speed.
Cause that's essentially what I'm teaching you here.
Now there's two ways that you can address this.
The first is by using the speed range selector.
Now at the top here,
I can select,
a little part of my clip,
like let's say
Oh, this cashmere scarf fluttering a bat around the sun.
That's so pretty.
I just want to slow that section down
so I can just use the range selector there.
I've ranged selected this little section here
and I can change that speed from a hundred
to 50,
or to 25,
whatever speed I want it to be.
And essentially what's going to happen is
if I click on this ramp tool down here,
when it goes from a hundred,
which is the section,
which isn't blue.
Boom!
Into the 25,
25% or quarter speed,
here I can
you know,
I can change the amount of ramp.
So that's kind of cool.
I can go.
vooooo
It's going from a hundred,
slowly in.
That defined speed ramping,
that is essentially you've created a ramp.
It's gone from a hundred percent into 25%.
Now my definition is probably just more
like I,
I make speed jerks (laughs)
because I don't technically
I don't always use this ramp to make my edits.
So I'll turn the ramp off.
I will also select the entirety of the clips.
So I'm changing the range
and I'm going to go back to a hundred percent here.
So this is my clip.
This is how I like to do it.
Don't worry about the fact that my audio is black.
We can talk about that later in this video.
But you know,
if yours is green,
don't worry about that.
So let's say this is the section that I want
to slow down, right?
Just this bit here. (background upbeat music)
What I like to do is use the cutting tool
cut,
and then I'll go.
Cool,
cool, cool cool.
Like, and then I'll create another cut.
So essentially you've created three clips.
I've got a hundred percent,
a hundred percent,
(mumbling)
but three clips.
The middle clip is the one that I would just select
and make that 25%.
So the exact same thing's going to happen.
It's gonna go voom
from a hundred percent
into 25
and then back to a hundred percent.
(upbeat music still playing in the background)
Now,
if you've showed in a high frame rate
I think it,
you know,
I tend to prefer to use this model
than the ramp,
because I like to cut to a beat.
Now,
so that moves on to the next step.
(upbeat music)
Music bed.
I licensed it from music bed.
All right.
So tip number two,
is to select the best part of the song.
Now if I was to play this song for you guys,
(upbeat music)
(finger snapping)
Oh, it makes me so happy this music.
Makes me think so much about driving
and this whole experience of being in Morocco.
Anyway, (upbeat music)
you gotta listen to it.
(upbeat music)
That's it.
So as soon as that
vocal comes in that
boo...
That is the beat that you wanna use.
And I've got to be expressive about this because,
I think,
as beginning editors,
or those of you that are new to creating,
you know,
emotion with your work
is this these little fine details
make such a big difference.
I could start this,
this,
you know,
this, edit here.
(upbeat music)
Do a TikTok to it.
(upbeat music)
But it's just not where I wanted to start.
So before you even,
you know,
before I even start
putting my clips
and using my speed ramping,
I find the section of the track that is bellissimo.
That is the part that I want to use.
And for me I was like,
(upbeat music)
Okay it's cool.
it's a low beat, (upbeat music)
another low bit second bar, (upbeat music)
Boom!
That bit there.
♪ Boo oh Na Na oh Na Na ♪
(upbeat music)
For Instagram,
I think it's really valuable.
If you think about creating content that
may potentially have your viewer
or your audience watch over time and time again.
You know it's kinda like the TikTok thing.
I'm sure there is some kind of algorithmic benefit
to having someone watch it multiple times.
Anyway,
I like to listen to this,
you know,
to the music,
(upbeat music) and naturally find,
please stop playing.
(laughs)
And naturally find a loop within the,
within the track.
(upbeat music)
You can tell it's building
(upbeat music) ♪ Oh Na Na Oh Na Na Oh Na Na ♪
Yeah,
can we?
Cool.
Keeps going.
And about here,
(upbeat music)
Okay.
It changes.
So I think it's about here.
(upbeat music)
There.
(upbeat music)
Right there.
I'm gonna cut it right there
and delete that beat.
And this is,
is my loop.
This section here is my endless loop.
The beautiful thing about,
Adobe premier rush is this little section here.
You'll notice at the bottom um,
right of the playback screen,
you'll see a
icon which says loop playback.
Here's the final few seconds of my clip.
(upbeat music)
Oh.
You'll notice that
it has just gone straight back to the start
and we're in again
Now.
(upbeat music)
And it,
it's quite seamless.
There are some audio pops that I haven't quite addressed,
but we can address them in this.
But you'll notice that from this whole package
from the audio,
from the visuals,
it is a seamless endless loop.
And the simplest way to do that,
what I've done with this edit here
is I've grabbed the exact same clip
which is,
you know,
Anna with her,
(lips smacking)
huchu huchu
at a hundred percent,
with cashmere scarf.
Not a huchu huchu.
And uh,
yeah.
And so I've basically taken a part of this
(background music playing) which is where
I've started this edit.
If I go over here,
which is at a hundred percent
(background music) and let's zoom in here.
So we're a hundred percent here.
We drop it down to 25%
because I really just lacked that emotive feeling
of just expressing this moment.
Like look at the sky!
This is just incredible.
(upbeat music)
Adding on from this loop playback feature
is just one simple tip
which I have shared in another video
but it's cutting an audio sweeper or a whoosh sound effect
in half to tie the end of your loop in with the start.
Now all I will do is I've got this
you know,
this whoosh sound effect here um,
downloaded from epidemic sound.
Link in the description if you want to go
and use epidemic sound free trial with them.
And I've cut that in half.
All I've done is I've put the build on this side
and the,
the it's not
the riser I guess,
is um,
at the end.
And the build is over here on the left.
(background music playing)
You have to start it from the end,
obviously to hear that loop.
(upbeat music)
Okay,
cshcsh
it's still a bit crunchy.
(upbeat music)
All right.
So I'll just keep chiming until I've got that sound effect.
(upbeat music)
I really do believe that
it's not just the clips and the color that make your GoPro
edits better,
but it's adding in these extra layers of audio to build
out your,
you know the emotive side of your edit.
So the other thing,
is using
the,
what seems to be video transitions
over here on the right
as dissolves or fades on audio.
And you'll notice that I've done that down here um,
on the clip,
right at the end there I've got this,
this here is the cross dissolve,
because I want to top and tail my audio.
I don't want these poppy sounds.
The first thing I learned at audio school was this.
It was my very first assignment.
It was your project is to make sure there are no pop sounds
in your,
you know,
in able sense.
So go through every single clip where you're mixing
and make sure there is a cross transitional dissolve
do that with your audio.
Now it's a very simple thing
but it 100% makes your GoPro videos sound better.
And with the sound good,
people are like,
damn, this is the vibe.
You know,
there into it.
(upbeat music)
There is one layer of visuals here,
but I'm using the tempo and the pace of the,
of the vision,
to throw into the next.
So you'll notice here that we're at 25% on this first clip.
If I go into my speed,
25%, I then cut go into a hundred percent
and then cut to my next clip,
which is at 50%.
So I'm using the pace of the,
you know of the motion and what's going on in my clips,
the visuals,
to flow into the next clip.
So,
(upbeat music)
and you notice it's just like,
(blows)
I go like,
you know I go a little bit faster here
going into a hundred percent.
I've also added a whoosh sound effect underneath it.
So layering,
which is tip number four.
Layering your visuals with your audio
making sure that they,
you know,
have a little bit more
(upbeat music)
Oh,
you know,
just a little bit more seamless.
You know,
think about it.
Think about using your ears
to transition as much as your eyes.
(upbeat music)
The coolest features on Adobe Premier rush,
is color
and its ability to color grade.
So if I take,
let's take this clip for example,
and if I go over here to my color window
which is these three sort of um,
I can,
if I take color off,
I hit none.
All right.
So this is what the clip looks like.
Just shot out of my GoPro shot with GoPro color.
Now I think you would get some drastically better results
if you were to use GoPro flat.
I however wasn't
thinking at the time that I wanted to do this
so I've just shot in GoPro color.
Now, the way that I like to do this
or to color grade with premier rush
is to start with a preset.
Now there's plenty of presets here that you can click on,
that come bundled with premiere rush,
to just initially start color editing.
(background music playing)
And when you're going through these loeotis be dramatic.
And by being dramatic,
you know going all the way to the end
and then pulling back,
you'll start to find the area and the sweet spot
of the color that you know,
that just is more harmonious with your clip.
The best way to apply this color
to the same clip which we've cut up
is you just simply create a preset.
So let's say I really like this.
I'm going to pull this shadows down a bit,
highlights.
Yeah let's,
let's get those highlights down.
We'll increase the contrast.
And I might go through here and add a little vignette.
Cool.
That's a pretty popping clip.
(laughs)
If I don't say so myself
then at the top here,
I'm gonna create a preset.
top right there's three dots.
Create the preset,
call this,
let's just call this popping road,
popping road trip
Yeah.
I love it.
Save.
You'll notice
that I created this clip here,
which is the hundred percent
and you'll see,
Oh, the colors are different.
So all I have to do is go into my presets.
And then
down here in my presets,
you'll see pop and road trips down there.
(lips smacking)
Boom!
Now the colors are the same.
(upbeat music)
I'm slowly becoming Marge Simpson,
(laughing) which I think is perfect.

creativity tutorials and tips.
And if you're into that,
feel free to subscribe.
I'm going to put a link
in the description to Adobe premier rush.
So you can download this software.
And if you want to test it out,
you've got three free um,
exports there.
You can also do all of this stuff on your mobile.
So for Ian asking,
you can make this same content on your mobile.
Pro tip
is be really critical
about the clips that you are selecting
before you get stuck into your speed ramping,
and adding in your audio and your sweepers and stuff.
That however,
is really hard to do on your mobile.
So I'm encouraging you to probably do this
on desktop and then transition your project to mobile
or start by finding the clips that you want on your desk
or vice versa,
whatever you get it.
I've also launched a brand new website
and I'd love for you guys to check it out.
See some of the projects that I've worked on.
A lot of the videos on this YouTube channel um,
but yeah,
there's some other stuff.
