Wooo! Happy to see team MK on here! I worked with them for a while and I will say that out of all the RUclipsrs I edited for in my years, they were the most organized. They didn't just dump footage on an editor and say good luck. They knew the footage as well as you did and gave actual direction. They don't just leave it up to the editor to be the story producer on their own like most creators do. I think that's another reason why their content is so strong, because it's a lot more intentional than most. It has a reason to exist before the camera even starts rolling and the audience can see that too when the episodes drop :)
The recent Sam & Colby episode got me, your stuff is hands down some of the best on RUclips today. No joke, the team is awesome and it shows in your work.
The thing that struck a chord with me was when they were talking about the marathon video. They kept referring to that video as an “episode”, and the fact that their mindset is that each video is just an episode of a much larger story taking over the entire “season”. It’s something not many RUclipsrs touch on, but it’s definitely what makes their videos so captivating.
I love hearing Garret’s role and passion for RUclips. I’ve known he’s been a large part but actually hearing him talk about the process and ideas behind story telling. We need a behind the scenes channel for Michelle and the team. 👏🏼
Michelle is always making good ART, and retention editing focuses solely on stats. It’s encouraging to see that good art will always still succeed in the long run. Thanks for the open and awesome conversation!
Another absolute banger of an episode!! I found myself nodding the whole way through…. Love this storytelling renaissance on RUclips as this makes Adam and I feel validated with our approach. It gives us hope that if we keep going with our films… we will grow ❤ Thanks again for putting this together and sharing! Xx Tania
Saw this and watched immediately! Michelle and her team do such an amazing job on their channel. Beautiful production, captivating storytelling, and it was a great deep dive to hear you all talking it through!
Her energy is so much higher than the other two guys. I had to keep raising the volume to hear them. I guess that is why she is in front of the camera. Great interview and keep posting great content Michelle and Team!!
i was really glad to hear how they recognized and responded to the comments criticizing the hyper edited mini episodes. I was one of the subscribers to comment and say please go back to storytelling. One thing to note here, good editors should hear critiques and sit at a table with editors better than them to learn, but youtube remains a different space still from traditional tv, because youtube also caters to and is deeply connected to the audience. youtube editors are learning their craft, but also learning how to build the channel and trust. Id say a great editor does all those things youve listed… a great editor in youtube also reads the comments. So many youtube teams that just don’t read the comments, or atleast dont see the need to adapt to their audience. however it IS what builds that trust and allows me to say I am going to watch this 30 minute video. Anyways, great videos team and thanks for being responsive in your style and editing.
Great episode guys. The Michelle Khare team are super stars doing storytellers and filmmakers proud, not caving to strictly “retention” editing and honouring people’s attention spans with profound and emotional stories that offer more than a 5second dopamine fix. Also your podcast is da bomb. Shout out to editors everywhere 🎉
I am so glad these videos exist. A) it really takes RUclips to the next level of media respect to showcase the people behind the camera and their craft and skill and technique and B) I feel simultaneously validated with what I already do and it gives me an opportunity to learn where I can improve. Thank you!!!
Nice vid. Thank you for focusing on storytelling. These guests were great explainers. When Ed (Film Booth) interviewed YT influencer Leon Hendrix regarding infotainment channels, Leon said to focus 80% of the vid on WHY [the thing that the vid is about] is important. Leon said just focus 10% on "How to" do the thing that the vid is about. Please, pretty please, talk about this. I can't find ANY other creators talking about this on YT, and I'm a major YT content consumer. There is a major content cap on this/Leon's approach. And given that infotainment channels comprise a massive amount of YT channels, this can benefit so many of us infotainment creators. Thanks! Justin Ziegler
WHAAAAAA Guys, this is so insanely Good!!! I am a starting creator pouring my heart and soul into my videos and hearing about these concepts like Save the Cat and getting a deeper knowledge of storytelling is absolutely Gold! I feel like i am being enriched with all your knowledge and it is making me think about what is really important in a video. So grateful that you provide us with these awesome videos 🤩
Small note, I went to the description looking to check out Michelle's channel and you had no links to her work or channel. Please just include links to the people you work with. Obviously I can just go search her channel, but a lot of people will just stop there. Cool video btw. Some useful insights.
It's good to hear that retention editing isn't really needed. As someone with a small channel, who also works full time, I have been trying to find ways and techniques for creating content that is both informative and effective. Seeing more creators have success with more story based content is inspiring. I prefer less flashy and fast paced videos myself. So it's encouraging to see that I can draw viewers to my content with slower, story based content. Great interview filled with inspiring ideas and suggestions. Thanks! Subscribed.
I want to hear more about the structures of stories! Somrone in this podcast said that there needs to be a start, middle, and end, but how do we do that? Plz have a full episode going over the structure of a great story and the "story arc"
I can honestly say I've learned so much from this podcast that I'm now implementing and I find I get more joy out of what I produce and less asking myself "But how do I know what to cut or How do I tell a Story". I've only been doing this for 1 year and while I understand I have a long way to go this podcast definitely makes it less intimidating especially since I did not go the traditional route(Film School).
Hey man, keep doing what you're doing! You'll get somewhere as long as you keep at it and I'm glad it's already starting to pay off for you. This gives me a little inspiration to just practice.
So interesting because I've been in (tech) sales for a long time and one of the first things I learned how to do was tell a story. People remember stories. Love what I've seen thus far. Cheers 🥂
This was such an incredible episode! I just learned about Michelle and it's fascinating to hear the entire team's process. I appreciate the emphasis on storytelling and trust.
damn, you are the most intertaining podcast ive seen. Even you already have my click and im here to watch the whole thing, even thou you grab my attantion in first minute and do it so beautifly with this set up and explanation. Wow, great job guys
If you search Google, I am pretty sure you guys just coined the phrase “retention editing”. That being the case, would you mind explaining what it is, instead of leaving us to figure it out by reading between the lines?
Retention marketing is an approach to marketing that focuses not on gaining new customers for your brand, but on how you can market more effectively to your existing audience in order to drive high retention, deeper engagement, more consistent monetization, and better overall results for your business. Retention editing takes the theories/rules/strategies of customer retention and applies them in the editing and content creation process.
Love that the on-camera personality naturally stages the mic to not cover the face. "True star" shit. Fr though, great nuggets on how online content and TV content are really blurring the lines. To me, them and the Cleo Abram team are absolutely spearheading and inspiring the way I hope content gets produced in the years to come.
I love the long storied videos and am so excited for every drop no matter when it comes. Works for Michelle, works for Mark Rober... I don't care if you're telling a story on running a marathon or squirrels stealing your bird feed... if you're a great story teller with heart and humanity, I'll listen.
When you talk about trust and event drops - I watched a 4 hour video from Jenny Nicholson. She drops a video like every 6 months to a year. I'm always there for it. Even a 4 hour video. I'm fascinated that she can get away with that.

I personally find that the microphones have wayyy too much lows. Someone really enjoyed cranking up that EQ lol With headphones it's almost too much bass. Just a constructive criticism.
There is a reason why I myself don't do "retention" editing on my videos. And that's because a.) I also came from a traditional background (film school grad); and b) I myself have a terrible retention span IRL and editing for long periods of time takes way too long, so I just focus on making the video make sense rather than force comedy (I'm also terrible with humor anyway).
Amazing video, my videos are mainly talking head how to videos about prepping on a budget. Would you suggest adding music to that kind of video as well? Sound is my biggest weakness and i would love some input from the pros.
Not criticism just honest feedback. There was something going on with the audio when Silas would speak, it was so difficult for me to listen to that I couldn’t finish the video. Just honest feedback. Love your work. “Can get away with bad visuals can’t get away with bad sound” as I’m typing this. lol
This was such a wonderful random watch. It seems like creation is going back to realness and humanity vs attention for attention sake, to which you guys kind of hint at during the beginning of the episode (quality vs quantity uploading). So inspiring and helping me get the courage to finally create my own.
This is a perfect example of over-editing. The animated text with the highlighting effect is just too darn distracting. Don't get me wrong the editing looks awesome - but I really couldn't watch it I can only listen because the visuals are way too distracting.
I feel like there's always another edge - being too-filmy (like Ryan Ng Films). It makes really tedious to go through video while some cuts would be really helpful
At first high retention editing looks fancy and interesting but it gets tiring real quick. A video that is edited like a cinema experience still wins in the long run. Good story telling and purposeful usage of effects to convey or reinforce and emotion will still win! It's convergence! High retention editing will mature.
Awesome video. I am fascinated that you did not title go for an SEO title such as: Michelle Khare Hates Retention editing...was there a reason for that?
Is anyone familiar with the musical instrument library they referenced to add a punch to edits. Back when Hayden did his breakdown of Logan's Pokemon Card video, he referenced it as well. Is it a library you'll need to build yourself or build it from a music creation program. I primarily use Envato Elements for editing assets.
Wooo! Happy to see team MK on here! I worked with them for a while and I will say that out of all the RUclipsrs I edited for in my years, they were the most organized.

Honor to have you on the show! We learned so much! 🎉
How do I apply? I’d love to be apart of your editing/audio team! I went to school for it and have the time to help right now!
Where can we apply for the gigs? In fact I will volunteer to work for free as a give back to the community.

Yes!!! We love long vids from Michelle ! Y’all are doing awesome
Yes! No more sub 25 min videos. We want the real videos, not the edited down to an elaborate infomercial style ones.
I've learned so much from this channel/podcast! So practical and digestible.
So interesting because I've been in (tech) sales for a long time and one of the first things I learned how to do was tell a story. People remember stories. Love what I've seen thus far. Cheers 🥂

Jeez you’re right about that storytelling. I literally started crying with the team joining the race
I've been following Michelle since she ran the LA marathon for buzzfeed! One of the best youtube channels out there
As always, fascinating insight and education. Appreciate the breakdown and discussion.
Thank you Michelle, Hayden and Jordan plus both teams! Raza :)
Never even seen one of her videos - watched one and now I’m hooked. Awesome content! Another great ep :)
Such a wonderful team of great minds. great work you are all doing. I genuinely love it.
Watching these have almost become part of my Tuesday routine xd. Thx!
Man the knowledge you guys share for editors! Thank you for this podcast 🙏🏻

It's interesting to watch the water level in the bottles and see how much segments have been shuffled around in the podcast.
The theme song literally triggers my dopamine receptors 🤣absolutely love this podcast and am learning so much from it!
The first minute of editing in this video is inspirational in and of itself.
I love watching all of these. You'll have to interview SunnyV2 and his editing style

My aha moment here is when they said they add extra base or high hat hits to the music. I’m going to try it. Can’t wait.
I listened to this episode twice in a row. What an incredible team!
Would love hear you talk to Eva zu Beck and Safiya Nygaard.
& Emma Chamberlain !
Yes to Eva. She does everything herself,no team, and still produces high quality production, editing, sound, lighting, etc.
Excellent conversation. Thanks for sharing. Watched a few of your videos- this one pushed me to subscribe.
Underrated channel
I've been trying to work on my story telling. Not really working yet but ill get there. Thanks for the video!
Michelle content is one of the best,Loved the podcast. You guys should invite HeyxNatalie,she does vlogs and her storytelling really good
We love Natalie's content, she'd be great to have on.
oh my God, Natalie here would be great!!!
Agreed
Love that the on-camera personality naturally stages the mic to not cover the face. "True star" shit. Fr though, great nuggets on how online content and TV content are really blurring the lines. To me, them and the Cleo Abram team are absolutely spearheading and inspiring the way I hope content gets produced in the years to come.
YES!!! Another episode! 😁
Love that interview 🎉

good writing is how she gets away with it. she structures her videos so well for how packed they are with information.
Wow. So illuminating. Thank you ALL.
Michelle makes a great point about the quality of Niko’s story telling. What resources do you have for increasing your story telling ability?

I personally find that the microphones have wayyy too much lows. Someone really enjoyed cranking up that EQ lol
With headphones it's almost too much bass. Just a constructive criticism.

I hate Retention Editing TBH, It lacks that touch of sincerity
What's retention editing?
@@amrt7755 cutting every possible moment of pause to keep the viewer watching
@@TheNewTravel okay! Thank you.
Its amazing how everyone talks about storytelling but copying someone would not be called as storytelling would it?
Thanks for another great episode!!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing video, my videos are mainly talking head how to videos about prepping on a budget. Would you suggest adding music to that kind of video as well? Sound is my biggest weakness and i would love some input from the pros.
Best episode so far!
How do you guys add these subtitles? Like I know the process but it takes a hell lot of times. Do you have any easy way?
9:50 Thats also way more real to anyone who has ever achieved something great because thats the way it happens in real life.
Not criticism just honest feedback. There was something going on with the audio when Silas would speak, it was so difficult for me to listen to that I couldn’t finish the video. Just honest feedback. Love your work. “Can get away with bad visuals can’t get away with bad sound” as I’m typing this. lol

This is a perfect example of over-editing. The animated text with the highlighting effect is just too darn distracting. Don't get me wrong the editing looks awesome - but I really couldn't watch it I can only listen because the visuals are way too distracting.
I'm letting the commercial play waiting for the movie to start again.
I should take this time to look for a water sponsor for you guys.
I feel like there's always another edge - being too-filmy (like Ryan Ng Films). It makes really tedious to go through video while some cuts would be really helpful
At first high retention editing looks fancy and interesting but it gets tiring real quick. A video that is edited like a cinema experience still wins in the long run.
Good story telling and purposeful usage of effects to convey or reinforce and emotion will still win!
It's convergence! High retention editing will mature.
Said it before, I'll say it again... this is one of the best podcasts in the space
Awesome video. I am fascinated that you did not title go for an SEO title such as: Michelle Khare Hates Retention editing...was there a reason for that?
Yes! Spread the gospel of not including unnecessary music and unnecessarily loud music
Ngl when they were talking about potential moments and preparing the shots in case they happen, it feels a bit Black Mirror-y to me

@EditingPodcast PLEASE consider to put music to this video, add something like "cinematorama", or something else, is gonna help, I SWEARE
Is anyone familiar with the musical instrument library they referenced to add a punch to edits. Back when Hayden did his breakdown of Logan's Pokemon Card video, he referenced it as well. Is it a library you'll need to build yourself or build it from a music creation program. I primarily use Envato Elements for editing assets.
Yes my weekly editing motivation!
