1
How come I used to spend weeks on one edit
2
while others seemed like they never even touched an editing software
3
and still received 100x or even a thousand times the views than I did?
4
The answer came to me in seven lessons.
5
Lesson one, get outside of your craft to learn your craft.
6
When you start to learn on social media youtube
7
when you start watching all these other content creators you get a little bit of inspiration
8
but you get a ton of envy and feelings of comparison
9
so go to art go to photography start a new skill me
10
if you can't tell i'm out of breath ah i'm horrible at skateboarding horrible at skateboarding
11
but it teaches me every time you get down you get back up you keep going even
12
when it just feels like nothing's working out
13
if you go learn art you're going to learn the very intentional nature of every stroke.
14
If you're going to go learn how to cook, you're going to learn how every single piece of the puzzle makes a big difference.
15
Lesson one, start learning something outside of content.
16
Some of y 'all who actually skate, y 'all are like, that does not count whatsoever.
17
I made a point of contact.
18
Even if it was a point, there was a point of contact.
19
I call it a win.
20
And next time, 1 % better every day.
21
When we watch content like Mr. Beast, Speed, or any of the creators that you naturally watch, you usually watch them for the content
22
and not for the edit naturally as creatives we want people to recognize the art
23
that we're able to create and then we are looking for positive feedback on yo
24
that was a sick edit whoa that color grade fire
25
but from the mass majority of people they're not watching a
26
video for the edit they're watching it for the story the edit is supposed to be invisible
27
so lesson two is the invisible edit so
28
when you edit be intentional with every cut every color every
29
effect is supposed to bring more attention to the story and to the message
30
lesson three is the loop now
31
if we were to have an open loop right we have
32
not closed this loop yet this is a question an open loop equals a question
33
but whenever we solve
34
that we close the loop we have a full loop now
35
here's the thing we don't want to have a full loop
36
without opening another one we never want to solve a problem before we present
37
another one because the distance between your problem
38
and your solution is what keeps people stick sticking around for
39
the entirety of the video you don't want to close this loop before you open another one
40
so what does this mean we need constantly two unanswered questions
41
at any given time now how do you do this this
42
is just presenting another hook a new tension point just present a question
43
that you will answer in just a minute now
44
when do you close these loops
45
because you don't want to keep one open for too long
46
because then people will get bored and they don't care about the answer anymore
47
so you need to constantly be opening closing small loops as
48
well as having your main point of the entirety of the video all right
49
so lesson four is advancing technology right
50
so there's a lot of different technologies coming about first it
51
was mirrorless cameras i know then we had premiere we have davinci we have all these different technologies
52
that are advancing
53
and now we have what feels like a cuss word we
54
have ai now ai is fine as long as you're using it in a way
55
that is enhancing your creativity
56
and not determining the direction see where i feel like a
57
lot of people are messing up with ai is they will use ai to determine their direction
58
and determine their story because they don't have any creative structure from their perspective
59
so when using ai like being able to change the text where needed expand environments fit shot dynamics that weren't accounted for,
60
or even take your story to a level you couldn't reach with a small budget.
61
The tool I'm using for enhancement is C -Dance 2 .5 and Cinema Studio 4 .0 within Higgsfield.
62
C -Dance is meant for people who utilize the hybrid production model, not simply letting AI run the show.
63
And with these tools, you are going to be able to enhance the content you are already creating without harming the perspective you have.
64
If you want to check out Hicksfield, use it properly.
65
Check the link in the description.
66
Use Cinema Studio 4 .0.
67
Let me know what you think.
68
Now on to lesson five.
69
lesson five is basically going to hit a sense
70
that no one ever thinks of for video editing and
71
that is sound design now hear me out
72
when you're watching a video there are only two ways
73
that you can receive that video on youtube right now and that's visibly visibly visually or audibly
74
So whenever we take audio out of the equation, we're only getting 50 % of the quality we could be getting.
75
Do me a favor, those headphones right behind you?
76
Yeah, those?
77
Put those on real quick.
78
What do you hear?
79
Nothing, right?
80
Now, in some instances, this works beautifully.
81
But in many instances, this completely takes you out of the scene
82
that you were just in
83
when you take the audio away from your video you are completely taking away the only other process at
84
which people can consume your content now taking back off you
85
want to be able to hear the world the viewer wants to know what the character is experiencing
86
and what their perspective is so
87
when using sound design be very intentional take double the time it takes for you to edit
88
and put that and put that same amount of time and put
89
that same amount of time into the audio into these small
90
cars in the distance the wind the birds even whenever there's
91
motion happening the whooshes the impacts the little granular kicks
92
when you're twisting a knob pay attention to the sound and
93
if you can find a video interesting just by listening to it, then you've hit another side of quality that you weren't hitting before.
94
Now, through the colors of our content, we are able to tell stories.
95
Red introduces strong emotion, whether that's anger, love, extreme fear.
96
Red shows extreme emotion and is the most used color for catching eyes.
97
Blue stands for loyalty on the positive end, and sadness and loneliness on the negative end.
98
Orange stands for warmth and friendliness, but on the negative end can stand for dryness or heat.
99
Green on the positive end stands for nature and organic elements, but on the negative end creates an eerie, sickly feeling.
100
And every single color of the color wheel has a psychological story behind it.
101
So when using your colors, don't just go with something that looks good, but also fits your story.
102
Lesson seven wasn't something I was able to grasp or even determine myself.
103
It's actually the sole purpose as to how I was able to become a content creator, work with big names, and be able to truly create content that goes much further than analytics.
104
It makes an impact.
105
See, artificial intelligence and even our own intelligence can only take us so far.
106
But when you put your perspective, when you put your root in the father, in the kingdom, in the ultimate creator,
107
you are able to receive supernatural intelligence.
108
That sounds insane, but the creativity you see through my videos is not me.
109
Half the time, I don't even know what I'm filming.
110
I pray to God and ask for his creativity and
111
that his will be done and he's able to use me for his will.
112
Thank you.

Waarom deze video perfect is om je Engels spreekvaardigheid te oefenen

Deze video over videobewerking is meer dan alleen tips voor creators: het is een gouden bron voor wie zijn spreekvaardigheid wil verbeteren. De taal is informeel, conversatief en vol met dagelijks taalgebruik, wat het ideaal maakt om te oefenen met shadowing (schaduwspreken). De spreker gebruikt korte zinnen, herhalingen en natuurlijke pauzes, waardoor het makkelijk is om mee te volgen en na te spreken. Bovendien bevat het concrete voorbeelden en verhalen, waardoor je niet alleen taal leert, maar ook context begrijpt – cruciaal voor IELTS spreekvaardigheid oefenen.

Diepgaand naar de taal: Wat maakt de dialoog natuurlijk?

  • "How come I used to spend weeks on one edit...": De vraag "How come" is een informele manier om "Waarom" te zeggen, veel gebruikelijker in spraak dan "Why". Het verleden tijd "used to" geeft aan dat het over een vorige gewoonte gaat, een veel voorkomend patroon dat je moet leren om verhalen te vertellen.
  • "Even if it was a point, there was a point of contact.": Herhaling van "point" maakt de zin makkelijk te onthouden en geeft nadruk. De structuur "Even if... there was..." is handig om concessies te maken, een vaardigheid die nuttig is voor IELTS-opdrachten.
  • "The edit is supposed to be invisible.": "Is supposed to be" geeft een verplichting of verwachting aan, een veelgebruikte constructie in alledaagse taal. Het woord "invisible" is eenvoudig, maar de context maakt het duidelijk dat het over subtielheid gaat – een goed voorbeeld van hoe woorden in context betekenis krijgen.

Je eigen practice routine: Schaduwspreken met deze video

Start met een shadowing app of een shadowing site om je oefeningen te structureren. Volg deze stappen: 1. Luister naar een korte fragment (10-15 seconden) van de video. 2. Pauzeer en herhaal de zin direct na, probeer de intonatie en tempo na te volgen. 3. Neem jezelf op terwijl je spreekt – luister daarna naar de opname en vergelijk hem met de origineel. Let op punten als "How come" of "used to" – zijn die goed uitgesproken? 4. Herhaal dit met verschillende fragmenten, steeds langer. Deze routine helpt je niet alleen om de taal te leren, maar ook om de natuurlijke flow te vatten, wat essentieel is voor je Engels spreekvaardigheid. Voor extra uitdaging kun je de video zonder ondertiteling gebruiken – perfect voor IELTS spreekvaardigheid oefenen!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
