We'll load up the video from Day 5, and use the Split and Delete tools to remove the dead spots. I'll also touch on basic transitions to tighten up clips.
" So today's video, we are going to be editing on an app called InShot, and it's super basic stuff. So I'm gonna open up the program here and dive right in. I'm gonna open a file that I recorded yesterday and actually posted it on Twitter, telling you that I was gonna do this today. And here we are. So I've got my file loaded, there's my silly mug, and all right, tid number five for making videos in 20.
Okay, so I need to find the very, very beginning, but I already kind of did that. So I'm smiling right before I start talking, and don't have to say I was looking for it right now, but I'd actually done that originally. So one, three. Now I'm gonna find all the gaps and I'm gonna remove them from this so that it flows seamlessly all the way through.
It's gonna be a good long video. I'm gonna show you unedited the whole behind the scenes of the edit. So I found my first pause and I'm trying to cut it out right now. Uh, and if I remember right as I did this, as I actually did the, uh, the little cut, I was having a hard time finding it. You, that might happen if the space that you're trying to cut out is too short.
Sometimes you gotta like zoom way in you, you slide your fingers apart and that zooms in on the timeline here where you're hunting for those little dead spots. So if you want to cut out a very, like a, a little sliver of space, it's harder than if you're cutting out a big chunk cuz you have to select it after the fact and, um, and then cut it out.
So eventually in one, I will, I'll get that done. Let's see. Did I find it? I finally selected it. I finally deleted it. And here's what that looks like. I do number five for making videos in 2023. You don't have to say everything in the Okay. Kind of clunky, but I did it. Here's what I mean. Now there's my second gap.
I'm cutting that out. And there's a tool called Split. So as, I'm actually gonna open shot right now, right now. So as you're working through InShot, you're gonna slide left and right, but what you wanna do is play it and listen like we're doing here. And then every time you find the very beginning of the gap that you wanna cut out, you're gonna hit the button that says Split.
Super important that you hit split because it doesn't move things, it doesn't erase anything. It just makes a cut, you know? I am. And then you can go to the end of that little gap, create another split, and now you've got a little chunk in the middle that you don't need anymore, so you can highlight it and.
About the edit buttons gonna happen afterwards. Right next to split. Even though I am gonna get this done in one shot, delete. Delete the dead spots. Don't have to worry about saying sentence after sentence after sentence. And this can be redundant. You will watch your footage over and over again. There's a rule that says sentence, you're editing a piece of footage that is a a 10 minute chunk.
Perfect. Your edit is gonna take multiple times, however long that video was. So if it's 10 minutes, that means the amount of time you're gonna perfectly watch a clip, adjust it, watch it again, adjust it, watch it again. It's probably gonna take you no less than 40. 40. I edit. Maybe 50 minutes to edit that 10 minute video because you're just, you're going over it so many times.
So that's why people complain about editing, taking forever. You know, I'm gonna edit after. That's why they need editors. That's why you need to learn how to edit, uh, because if you don't wanna make content and you wanna work in web three and get lots of jobs lined up for you, knowing how to edit content tomorrow, even at a basic level, is.
Super valuable for people. They might not need the best editor in the world, but they need somebody. So tomorrow just offload that content. That's where you come in. Video chopped up, or I mean, or you could be the amazing one. You could be like Tally, spend 12 hours on a 42nd video. Hats off to you, sir. Last dead spot.
Make this flow real nice. We're gonna watch it one time. You'll see how I removed all those dead spots. Okay, see you tomorrow. Even the end, I cut out like that little moment from where I did little peace sign and then I dropped my hand and I went to shut the, the recorder off. Um, I trimmed it, so it's just, it kind of ends with a smile right there.
Delete that. Watch from the beginning. I won't talk Tip number five for making videos in 2023. You don't have to say everything in one breath. Here's what I mean right now. As I'm saying this, I'm actually thinking about the edit that's gonna happen afterwards. Now, even though I am gonna get this done in one shot, I don't have to worry about saying sentence after sentence after sentence perfectly, because I know I'm gonna edit after it's all said and done.
So tomorrow I'm actually gonna show you this exact video. Chopped up and you'll see how I removed all those dead spots. Okay, so now we're gonna go through and we're gonna fine tune a little bit and we're gonna add some transitions. Chop, this is really cool. These transitions, if you look right between where that that cut is that we made, there's a little box at the bottom of 'em, okay?
The edit, when you click that, it opens up your transitions. Don't get fancy. Don't do a bunch of cool, spiny weird. I mean, you can, but like it's gonna happen. Please don't. It's not. It's like, even though I'm gonna get this, watching a PowerPoint presentation with afterwards, all the stupid animations, like nobody cared.
They just wanted to see the next slide. Even though I, so it doesn't matter if it spins in 3d, even though I am a fade. Works really nice if you wanna blend two things. I use a fade very often for making videos When you select that little fade icon like I'm gonna do right here. It shows you the milliseconds that that fade will last.
I mean, when you adjust that, it'll either pull the contact closer or separate it a little bit, though I'm gonna get tighten it up right where you want it and preview the transition while you're doing it sentence after sentence perfectly. So see right there, I said perfectly. There's a weird, awkward gap after sentence perfectly, because I tightening it up sentence perfectly because after sentence, Tightening it up more sentence perfectly because after sentence, after sentence, tightening it up less perfectly because I, after sentence perfectly, because, and that's where I kept it.
So let's see how it sounds sentence after sentence perfectly, because I know I'm gonna edit after it's all said and done. So tomorrow I'm actually gonna show you this exact video to flowed pretty chopped up and you'll see how I removed all those dead spots. Okay, see you tomorrow. And ended too. So that's it.
Uh, I really like editing on desktop, not on InShot on my phone, but I realized. That having the hardware and the software and all the things that you need to make this stuff happen, um, I'm gonna meet everybody where they're at. So if you have a phone and you wanna download a free app and start editing on InShot, there you go.
That was for you. All right, see you tomorrow."
You've provided a great walk-through of how to edit a video using InShot. I believe anyone following along would be able to understand the process and create their own video. Your tutorial has covered how to trim and cut parts of the video, add transitions, and tweak the timing to make it all flow naturally. You've made it clear that, with a bit of practice, anyone can make their content more polished and engaging using just their phone and a free app. This is excellent advice for beginners in video editing who want to improve their skills.
