Okay, but let me know who your favourite vloggers are? I wanna know your inspo! (Some of my mine are Elena Taber, Kinging It, and Eamon and Bec) I wanna know yours 🫶
Katie there is a problem with the video because it stops playing at around 11.55 until 12.16.
Kinging it and Eamon and Bec and Kara and Nate are the bomb! I’ve recently become addicted to “chapter by chapter” with Philly and Keely… they are just a young feel good couple who make me laugh.
I love Cathryn Manning
benjiplant and Jenna Hong are the ones that come to mind right now!
yes I recently found Philly and Keely too! they're awesome!
So so sooooo helpful to a newbie like me! THANK YOU so very much! I'm 56 and want to prove that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks 😊
Yes to Davinci! A lot of the tutorials out there are more cinematic/filmic in emphasis, which sometimes doesn't feel relatable when you just want to learn quickly.
Ah! Thank you for this!!! Editing a Vlog is so different from a fully scripted video. It can be so chaotic!
the adjustment layer label is such a good idea 😍 loved that tip
What happened at 11:55 to 12:14? A glitch in the Matrix?
ahhh no!! a glitch in exporting unfortunately 💀 (gotta love Premiere Pro! lol) you'll have to watch the full vlog over on www.youtube.com/@katieanddan to see the full example I guess. Sorry about that!
yes please share tips on video editing ! I love how easy and clear you explain the information in your videos
Girl I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your vids, how authentic you are, & how much passion you have in sharing your behind the scenes work. You're amazing! Thank you
Omg! That first Automator portion is a LIFESAVER!!!!! I knew their had to be a way
This is brilliant. Thank you so much! I'm venturing naively into the world of video editing, and I was thinking to myself recently 'where the heck do I start, I want to avoid making this look ridiculous'. It's quite overwhelming with so much to learn - this video could not have come at a better time. So yes please, I vote for some more editing tutorials. Thank you once again for sharing. Your content is top teir, and I'm learning so much!
I would LOVE you to do one or more editing tool/process videos! PLEASE!
That Adjustment Layer Layer is SUCH a good tip thanks!
I don’t make vlogs but your personality and energy made me feel better after a stressful day. thank you.
Thanks so much, Katie, for every video you made. I genuinely appreciate your advice. They're also realistic and comprehensive, which helps me so much, and I find myself learning more each time I watch your videos. I feel like I've listened to your advice so much but couldn't manage to nail/implement them fully but I'm trying and learning! I'm glad I found your channel, always!!
Really loving how you are combining your 2 interests (travel vlogging and giving content creation advice)
You are one of my fav RUclipsrs FOR THAT EXACT REASON.
Seeing you teach us in your van, out in the desert, or swinging on your hammock....
keep my attention because it's so different!
Plus, I'm not only interested in improving my content creation,
but also interested in travel and seeing others adventure!!
Great tips Katie! Travel VLOGs are my favourite type of content to make and while they don’t perform as well on my channel, they bring my so much joy when I watch them back myself ✨😊 for sorting out my footage across cameras I like to create sub folders for each day as a work around for renaming files but definitely want to try your tip! 🎞️
I am so glad to have found your Channel and thank you for the well detailed video.
Katie this was pure gold! I can’t wait to start editing some videos that have been on the back burner. I love the Mac tip. I’m new to using a Mac so any shortcuts is amazing!
thank you so much!!
Katie I'm only half way of your video and I'm already LOVING IT! the organisation part is so good!!! thank you so much really🥰
That's such a great tip with adjustment layers! Thank you so much Katie ❤️
I just love the tips and tricks .You absolutely nailed this topic ..
That adjustment layer trick to keep your timeline organized is clever. You are a gold mine!
This video is gold. Your transparency is key. We appreciate you
Oh my gosh THANK YOU!! This video was so insanely helpful! 😊 I'm just getting my channel started and feeling overwhelmed with how to organize and set things up and stay on top of everything. Following your advice and even got that awesome file name automator set up to keep things organized! Love your videos and how relatable and authentic you are! Thanks for the amazing content! 💖
Girllllll first step is a game changer!! I love it! Just set up my quick action
Katie, this video was exactly what I needed to get my motivation to start editing this weeks video for our channel! Thank you, I've learned so much from you already! ps, we are pretty new at vlogging and editing but we use Davinci Resolve and love it!
These are the types of tips and tricks I appreciate. I needed the tip on the renaming footage to make it in chronological order, this is such a time saver! I have begun on devinci resolve for the free factor and so far it's great but still learning. Now I need to see if it has a labeling option. I suffer from edit fatigue, especially when Im looking at myself constantly and I'm losing what it is I am trying to say! I have to get my partner in to look at it with fresh eyes. Mind you I have edited more than I have posted lol. Only uploads are from 5 years ago on an old channel. Ive been editing old footage for a new channel as well as new footage. I'm so lost with where to start! I am trying to bridge the gap somehow by telling a story.
Your videos are so easy to watch and follow. I stumbled across you on accident looking up other stuff for IG. I’m. So.glad.I.found.you!!!! Thank you so much for making these videos!!!! Truly one of the best!
I have been waiting for this!!! Thank you Katie!!! 🩷🩷💕🩷💕
yay!! thanks for watching!!
always love watching your videos katie! so so helpful! i hope I can apply the tips! 🥰🩷
I really needed this, thank you so much!
You ate this video! So many gems. Thank you
Thanks to your videos 😊 I feel more confident now in creating videos. The adjustment layer labeling was a nice kick I haven’t noticed before. Overall thank you for everything!
Thank you for this !!! Saving this video so I can come back and rewatch! Yes, to a video on Davinci, please!! ❤
You are always giving such good advice recently, I haven’t started yet - I’m stuck in a research loop but I’m always getting new info from you! So grateful, thanks :)
Such great information in this video, thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Katie
This was so helpful
Yes, I'd love to learn more about Davinci Resolve! I'm brand new to editing and have chosen this software.
Renaming the files is gonna be a game changer, thanks Katie! ❤
Quick Pro Tips: don't waste your time renaming clip! In to your video editor app just sort them by date or hour, camera or whatewer you like :) Then before drag them in the timeline select all the clips for each camera you have, and give them a colour so you can quickly identify them in your timeline. Peace❤💫✌
Great video once again! Your way of explaining things is just so easy to understand thank you so much for helping us!!! :)
Would definitely love to see more editing tutorials.
You Been helping a lot on my journey with YT Thank you keep ‘em coming 🔥
So helpful thank you so much for sharing!!❤
Thank you soooo much for this! It's exactly what I was needing rn:) Would loooove for you to expand more on your PP editing process..a more in depth deep dive would be awesome!!
So helpful, thank you! I’m learning Davinci Resolve right now. My brother taught me the basics but once I get use to this I want to learn more. So far I do like it.
I have davinci resolve and loving it so far! Gonna use this also for my vlogs, and right now using it for my reels ❤
Welcome to Memphis! Hope you enjoyed your trip here.
Thank you ! Will try that
Love this! Thanks for the tips. I’m even more excited that I’m watching this because I live in Memphis! Glad to see the feature.
ooh nice! i loved visiting :) such a cool city
I really love watching Tayo Aina. He travels all over Africa, and other places on a budget. Very fun and informative. ❤
This is a great video. Thank you so much
Yay I needed tips lol. Loved this video, I love how you edit, so this was super helpful! I use Final Cut
Yes, please start a tutorial series on free Da Vinci. I have been wanting to dabble with it, but i am intimidated by it
Great job explaining this to a newbie editing her vlog for the first time. Thank you and I'm a new subscriber. Look forward to more of your videos!
Awesome tips! I’ll be rewatching this again. I liked the L cut tip and then the cutting the music to end when the clip ends. So far I just fade out the music wherever it is but I’m gonna try this tip. ❤ thank you!
thanks for watching, Kayla!! the music thing was a game changer for me haha
Another awesome vlog Katie. I always watch your video's/vlogs to the end. Yes getting viewers of your video's/vlogs to watch until the end is a challenge Katie and thanks for this vlog and all your content. Love 🥰 this vlog and love 💕 Katie.
thanks for your support, David! I appreciate it :)
That was really concise and well presented! Definitely a skill I need to practice
Big yes on Divinci Resolve !
Love the music editing advice!! Thank you for all these tips, this was great. 💯😍
Goddess Bless you for these videos Katie 🙏 Seriously the most helpful videos I’ve found on all this creator stuff
this is brilliant, a fantastic new video ❤❤❤
I enjoy your videos and look forward to more tips. I'm getting more into editing, but sometimes I avoid it. I'm not scared of it, but it's a lot when you're learning the ropes. 😊
Love all these tips thank you so much for sharing ❤
Yes for the Resolve video 🙏
Really love this video and all your video on vlogging. I feel there's just not enough info.out there for ppl wanting to grow a vlog. TY ❤
I like it, and I am so happy to see that my process is pretty similar, despite I am not a pro!
Thanks for this, Katie! I’m finding with importing my footage, I do it every couple days and immediately drag it into my editing app on my computer so all the footage is there, ready to be organized and I can delete off my phone and free up space. Hope that helps someone here ❤
Ohh its so informative😮 thank you siss❤❤❤😊
Thanks for this it was so helpful!
I’m just learning and I found this so helpful - even the nuggets of moving your clips to your external drive and working from there. So so helpful for a 60+ total newbie (do they still say newbie?😂). Anyhoo, thank you!
I have had a MAC for ages and never knew about Automator, Thank you!
Major help!!! Thanks for sharing these details for real :D
Merci pour cette vidéo ! I love it
Thank you for this 🖤
That quick action renamer is MONEY. I know you explained it before, but now that I have a second gopro, I really needed to see it again.
right?! it's such a game changer!!
That’s such a great tip for organizing files … bc i was getting frustrated when it would change the date after I uploaded and then I would have to click the “i” button to rediscover info
This was a great video. Really helpful tips.
Love the video. Also, Yes to Davinci! Would love some editing tips and hacks for it ❤
Your videos have been hitting 100/10 recently!!!!! I would LOVE to know how you figured out to change your target audience recently & how you are figuring out what we want to see. And just how you come up with these amazing ideas for videos.
Please make more editing videos! This was super helpful, thank you
So helpful Katie, thank you! Your tips helped answer questions I didn't know I had.
What type of external hard drive do you use or recommend? I never thought about that, so good to know you use one, thank you!
thanks for the rename hack! Its exactly what I needed😍
Editing videos!? Yes please!
Verrrrry interested in resolve!! Trying to make the leap but learning a whole new platform is so daunting on top of everything else 😩
Would love a Davinci Resolve tutorial!
I didn't know you can customize the video in Finder! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! I'm going to start doing that! THANK YOU so muchhhhh, love!
This is so helpful. I'm still learning how to edit. ❤
so glad it was helpful! it takes a lot of practise to get good/fast at editing, but it's such a worthwhile investment 🙏🏻
Love the drag race reference! 😂
So helpful! I was at the part about music and making sure you have highs and lows, and was literally thinking about drag race and how Michelle always says the queens fail when they’re all one note.. and then you literally referenced it 😅
haha that's iconic!!
Yes please to a DaVinci tutorial! I can't find any good tutorials that are easy to follow.
Thank you for all your wonderful videos and guidance. I've learned so much from you!
THAT RENAME FINDER TIP SAVED MY LIFE omg
Yes to editing tutorials!!!!
I would love to watch a video of you editing a vlog from start to finish!
love the title lmao!!! so excited to watch this!!
Def interested in editing videos 🎉
That file date / time trick is cool will have to look up if this avail for PC 2:36
Ooo I need to set up that automator function that can be really helpful. But I usually save all my footage in different folders according to the camera. So I have GoPro, iPhone, Sony folders and then I just drop everything into my timeline. And start editing it’s not always in chronological order 😅
I personally find it helpful to be able to see everything in chronological order to make sure I didn't miss anything, etc - so the rename function is super helpful for that 🙌🏻
Nice one! And Def more tips and hacks with Davinci please! 🙌😀
Can you share how you record your screen to show us this tutorial?! This is amazing !
I would love a video on premier pro! ❤
I just purchased a year long subscription and a Sony zv-10 to start filming my art! You inspired me to start
