Editing and Uploading to YouTube Using Final Cut Pro and YouTube Studio!

Hey guys today is basically a rain day. I was able to get one of my calls done and it was kind of interesting but today's video is going to be different. I'm going to show you my process from uploading the videos to my computer and y'all say hello I'm going to show you the whole process from uploading to editing and what we have to do to Riley over there. to get them uploaded on to YouTube the way we do and I'm going to try to do it using screen recording on my computer here so y'all stick with me. I hope this is something you'll find interesting. Here we go. Okay I had to turn off the radio because I don't want a copyright strike. First I'm going to show you how I get the video to my computer. And this is the new Mission One GoPro. I tried the DJI, didn't really like it, no problems. Pull out your memory card. And for most people, we have to put it in an adapter. I'm gonna show you the next step. Back here, I know my desk is a mess, don't say anything. Back here, I have, this is the Apple card reader. We're going to let that pull up, and once it does, I'm gonna start recording my screen. Basically, this is what it looks like You open Final Cut Pro and you put in your memory card. This is what you see. I am selecting the videos that were from the short call today to upload into Final Cut Pro. And here, what I'm doing, I have an open project in Final Cut Pro. I'm finding the videos. They are a little bit mixed up in order. I've had problems with that. I'm finding the videos and putting them in order. This is not always the case. It's usually already in order. You just click on the first one and then the last one, drag them all down, and put them into place. But with this one I had to verify which one was which, where it went, and get them all in order, and put together basically the video in order. In Final Cut Pro, in my project, basically I'm piecing it together. This whole thing will be pieced together as sections over and over. Okay, so that's the basics of me putting the video together. What I'm going to do now is show you the video and I'm going to go outside and record my outro. And then we're going to put that in the final video and I'm going to show you the steps finalizing the video just reviewing it and uploading it and then i'm going to go through the process of what we have to do on youtube to make it a good thumbnail and i'm going to show you the whole thing but right now you're fixing to see the video and then we're going to go over the next i am pretty sure this customer called and said that uh oh it wasn't cooling very well she is not here right now we're going to have a solid block of ice up top I'm waiting for the customer to get here. so basically this one system was completely frozen up and this is what i found i need to clean that out i might have to take the whole thing out this filter grill is a 30 by 20 which means the hinges are on the 30 side she needs a 20 by 30 so that the hinges can be on the 20 side it would make it much easier to take the grill off and clean it and it might make it easier for her to change the you know filter grills this big can be hard to hang because they start to flex when you get them in place. right now if this thing is functioning properly it should not come on. the lady was saying it was running when it should not be but that thermostat was turned on. so yeah i'm gonna advise her to just keep it shut off for a little while. this is a heat pump so we can thaw it out but i've been getting rained on so we're just gonna leave it like this if she has trouble we'll come back. that looks much better. Basically, this is an unfinished video. I couldn't finish to upload it. So, recording in 4K, but as you see me, I am exporting right here in 1080p. That allows me to zoom in and then save it to my computer. without losing any pixels as long as I'm saving in 1080p. It will be saved in 1080p and uploaded in 1080p. And over here in the left corner you can see that it's sharing that means it's saving it to my computer and then once I have it saved it's 100% I can come over here to my YouTube studio find the video it's in my photos here click on it And it automatically starts uploading the video while I'm entering the details. And I'm going to show you the process of entering the details. Here I am just coming up basically with like a random title, descriptive title that might be clickable. We're going to change this in just a second. This is like brainstorming ideas right here. And adding in all these details. So in a second, I do use a service that helps me with YouTube and AI. It's called TubeBuddy. These are what I put in the description in every video. It's in my notes. It's already saved. All I have to do is copy and paste it right here and then the additional stuff I add at the bottom. If I want to add in a description of the video, I can do that too. I'm adding my tags right here. Right here, these are the... People I normally tag in my videos. I'm being very open about all that and um there we go. Yeah those are a couple of my buddies Jake and Rick and then I put this on playlists. Only two different playlists on this one and wait a minute I might do tech tips so we'll add tech tips to it. Scroll down. Does not have a paid promotion. I did not use AI. These are Tags that I use on my videos when I'm uploading them that most people never see. You have to use some special software to see these tags. These help tell Google what the video is about and who it's for. Fill that in. And this right here is particularly important. I'm adding in where I live and work. So my video appears to local people. I do not allow remixing, it is education and it is a real life experience. Save that. We go to monetization. Look at all these clicks all over the page. Scroll down. No, nothing controversial. Submit my rating. Next. And there we go. We can continue on and I'm going to save this as private because I'm going to have to add this to the video and it is uploading. It is already loading. Very well on the way to being completely uploaded. This part, I am actually grabbing a screen grab, a couple of them, to use for a thumbnail. I'm looking for a moment to stop in the real video. That would have been a good one. But I'll grab this right here, put it down. Because it's on YouTube already, the picture is already 16x9, and that's why I'm getting the picture from. I am watching my uploaded video, grabbing screen grabs to make a thumbnail, and in a minute I'm going to be going after some pictures, and I'm going to cut out the part that shows my pictures. I'm making that a 16x9 again, or something close to it. We'll go back to that one, and I'll show you. Save those to Photos and then I open up PixArt. PixArt is the app that I use to edit photos. Alright, I'm going to go after a photo here and try to show you my process of putting together a thumbnail. You can put a photo on top of a photo and letters and words and remove backgrounds on photos. This one just, I couldn't figure out how to fit this into a thumbnail. I'm going back and I'm starting over. And I'm going back with the other photo I took, cropping it to 16 by nine, right there in PixArt. And then I can use that pink button at the bottom to remove background. And I have just a picture of me that I can put over the top of this other picture, anywhere I want. I can make it a little bit bigger, stretch it out, put it in the corner. And then I'm gonna overlay my logo in the bottom left corner. Right there, I'm doing that by adding photo, which I just don't want to show you my photos. And now I'm adding text. I'll show you part of the process of adding text and putting it over the top of a picture that you're editing in PixArt or a thumbnail. All of this I'm doing through PixArt right here. You can sometimes see where I'm clicking with my fingers. Watch exactly what I'm doing. I'm picking a style of writing that I like. And now I'm going to pick a color and then we're going to do outline. It's a highlight on this bottom here. I was kind of looking for it and then I click on it and there you go. I'm going to move it to where I want it to the right size. Apply. Get that over there. And then you just hit the downward arrow and it saves it to your photo. Come back over to your Google Chrome in studio, open, and I saved this to my computer now. I sent it to my computer. We're going to add, hold on a sec, we're going to change this title. I told you we'd come back to it. This is basically AI through TubeBuddy giving you clickable suggestions. And I'm just going to accept that one. And now we're going to come down here and change, add a thumbnail. You can do all this through Studio on your iPad as well. It should be in Photos. It was in Downloads, I'm sorry. So the thumbnail is now there. We just need to save it. There we go, that is saved. And we're going to add the end screen as our store and a couple of links for everything else. Check the settings, save it. Now, what y'all might see actually may be a little bit different, but that is the process. That is basically... How it's done. Okay, so clearly that video was not done before I could upload it. So I'm having to add this to the end of that video and redo everything that y'all just saw me doing that last little section. That is it. That is basically how I upload my videos, how I edit them, and it shows just how easy it is. And then upload them to YouTube and put in all the details. I have most Most of the stuff already. Saved in my notes. Real easy. I need to go back through this and make sure I haven't revealed anything private. But hey, that's it. It's much easier than what a lot of people think. I hope you enjoyed the video. If you did, Riley and I really appreciate it. And we ask you to give us a thumbs up. Check out the store in the corner. All that good stuff. And I'll catch you on the next one.
