I really appreciate the thoughtful videos and this topic in particular - however, the background clicks and music are really distracting. I really like that the tool shows you what it's doing, that's super helpful and I think makes it easier for those of us who enjoy the editing process but also find it overwhelming. I'll be testing this out for sure!
Jason please, please , please take note of the comments below re the background music and other sound and visual effects, they are SO annoying. I watched your livestream on 4o and there were no effects or music and it was excellent, made it so much easier to follow. Your voice on this video is currently fighting to be heard above what sounds like a jazz party ... I can't understand why you would want to do this. Thanks. 6:42 in and about to leave thanks to the background noise. :(
The clicking and dinging sounds are quite distracting. To the point that it becomes difficult to follow what you're saying because I'm constantly diverting my attention to see what is going on in the foreground (your voice actually becomes secondary to the constant sound effects).
I'm new here. I think your content is good. Sound effects should be used at a minimum. You are overusing it! This distracts us from the message. Positive critique here. If you want to use the clicking sound or some type of effect, make it rare in each video so then your point comes forward more. Please respond with your thoughts.
Love that youre continually experimenting and evolving your edits and approach... but Im sorry i had to stop after 20 seconds, the clicking made me unreasonably angry 🤣 but ill check the tool out, ta.
Anyone else turn it off after the first minute or so because of all the clicking? Every graphic and every word up on the screen almost by clicking sound like a trainer would use it SeaWorld with dolphins… Look like it could be a cool video but guess I’ll never know
The mountain title cards are too frequent, and the clicking is distracting. The title kind are also in the way of close captioning, which is an extra hassle for me as a neurodivergent person who needs close captioning on. I get that you're having fun with your editing software, but it's really Instrumental to my ability to consume your content
The background music didn't bother much, my main issue was it did not fit the video at all. A different background song or no background music would be better.
What’s the name of the AI that adds super annoying sounds to videos? 😂 I’m teasing, awesome content as always! I haven’t tried to edit with DeepL, only use it for translations. Gotta check it out!
Thanks for sharing. I've used Haiku for some developmental editing, but as you said, it's not really very good at editing. It has helped save me money, but I very much need a human editor. For the AI portion of editing that you're showing with this tool, what I've done in the past is to tell Opus "You are an expert editor and author, and you're excited about helping me improve my novel. Rewrite the following text to improve flow and readability." This tends to work fairly well. I definitely have to modify what it gives me, but it's a huge improvement over what Sonnet gives me from my scene beats in NC.
I've been using DeepL for translation for years. Used it to translate my entire novel from English to Japanese. Never tried it for editing though. I will now though! Thanks Jason! I like your point about translations. I understand a lot of Japanese, but I can tell you DeepL's translations (while good) are stiff and unnatural alone, especially when it comes to dialogue. I combined it with custom prompts in Claude and my own translation experience to do my entire book in under a month. (Video on my channel explaining the process). And yes, translating your own writing is a great way to learn the language fast!
FYI, I used an AI editor, then uploaded the edited story into another and another, and ALL of them are editing and re-editing each other. Why? Because they ALL are trained by people who have their personal preferences about syntax and word choice. Consequently, so far, there is NO truly "intelligent" AI out there, only simulated intelligence or rather semi-intelligence. That said, millions of writers can't afford to pay $5,000 for editing. Do you know how many copies they need to sell to cover that cost? This is like going into "student debt" by borrowing money for college and then paying it off a year before retirement. Ouch! Well, the "truly intelligent AI" is coming in a few years, but for now, it's just a snail in the horse race, ridden by "predator editors," as the writer's slang goes. Meanwhile, keep on writing and pay the bills with unedited novels or sell balcony-grown tomatoes. Godspeed and never give up.
@TheNerdyNovelist unfortunately Deepl is only available in certain countries. Funnily enough, in Africa they are available in the Ivory Coast and Morocco and not in South Africa which has a much larger writing community.😢😢 I don't know if you can find out why. I want to use them for translation.
Thank you for showcasing DeepL in an editorial role - really had no clue it could do that. But speaking of editing: please return to your old style of video editing....the clicking and the buzzing and the font bling-ing is really not suitable for your channel. Your audience is probably already mature and doesn't need attention-hooking every couple seconds. In fact - all these "fancy" editing techniques are a detriment to conveying your valuable information. I guess you have outsourced your video-editing...so just tell the editor to stop it or find someone else ;-) It would really, really make my heart swell with new adoration for your work 🙂
Better but still lacking. Instead of Quincy was able to defend himself, cut the telling and just write: Quincy plunged the stake through Dracula's heart.
Loved the detailed vid! In my opinion though, you should get rid of that background music since it can get distracting and a bit annoying tbh. Keep up the great work mate 👍🏻
Some people do have sound processing issues. A lot of them are interested in tech issues. The channel owner can decide if he wants to work with that audience. Or not. Personally I hope he takes the input to heart
Reminds me quite a bit of QuillBot, in its dual functionality of rewriting phrases and/or choosing different words/expressions, except that QuillBot has a few more tone mods plus a basic “Custom” one. Also EditGPT in how it generally marks the corrections, though EditGPT has gotten quite ahead in flexibility of editing and custom prompting. P.S: And yes, please, off with the clicks. The background music I can take, it’s mild, but the sound effects…
I have used the hemingway editor and grammarly in the past. Still, had to rely more on my own editing in order to maintain a story that flowed like I wanted. The translation tools are pretty cool but it would probably still be better to have a native speaker go over to make sure it works.
I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with this video. , but did anyone else notice that the updated ChatGPT can now remember information across chats? I had character abilities in one chat and started a new one with a different question and it used information from my other chat!
I noticed that too! Someone smarter than me might now more, but I think it has something to do with the settings and toggling on and off memory within Personalization, although I haven't turned it off yet. I've thought about it thought so I get more of a fresh perspective on chats for different projects.
Dude... The clicking... please stop...
stop complaining man.... please stop... listen to the value
Deep L x Auto Crit = Damnnnnn
Deepl is not available in languages other than UK en USA-English and German.

The background music kept distracting me too
Please, please stop the clicking and the background music aghhhhhhhhhhh
Loving the format but the clicks are very distracting.
C😢 0:56
Ironically, this video is over edited.
Edit: The clicking ....
GOOD VIDEO AND ITS INFORMATIVE BUT MAKE THE CLICKING STOP‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Good content, but that ding and clicking is soooo annoying.
The video corollary to the axiom “write in simple language” must be “don’t give in to gimmicky sound effects”.
The clicking and dinging sounds are quite distracting. To the point that it becomes difficult to follow what you're saying because I'm constantly diverting my attention to see what is going on in the foreground (your voice actually becomes secondary to the constant sound effects).
May want to tone the music and stuff down a little. It didn't bother me much but it seems to be distracting others.

The background music is really annoying, makes it harder to understand you
I didn't have an issue with it.
Please remove the sound effect from the title graphics. It's really annoying.
Ug haha now I can't unhear it.
I thought it was cool
@@Author_SoftwareDesigner me too! Can't please everyone, I guess.
I like it.
The pop up graphics are annoying too. Makes it look like a infomercial.
The background music didn't bother much, my main issue was it did not fit the video at all. A different background song or no background music would be better.
Thanks for your video but I had to stop watching after 2 minutes. That clicking noise is driving me nuts. Please stop that! Thank you.
Interesting content but please, no more clicking and music. Both are distracting.
What’s the name of the AI that adds super annoying sounds to videos? 😂
I’m teasing, awesome content as always! I haven’t tried to edit with DeepL, only use it for translations. Gotta check it out!
Content helpful and useful, but, the clicks are really very distracting.

What the hell is up with all of the clicking and bell sound effects? I couldn't finish the video! Stop it dude, it's freakin annoying!
Great stuff as always. FYI the dog training clicky sounds are distracting from your dialogue
Please repost this video after you remove the sound effects. Unwatchable.
Clicks are SUPER distracting….no bueno…
IMO…I think ProWriting Aid does a better and more detailed job at line editing than DeepL.
Some changes are good.
Then it changes words that are similar but have clearly different meanings.
The clicking has to go away... 😬

How much would it cost to hire a Japanese translator to translate a novel? And where would you find one?

I use DeepL for my book translations into Spanish. I speak Spanish, so this program is really a time saver and the translations are pretty good..
Either this video was re-uploaded or there are ppl who are sound sensitive.
No problem with the background music at all.
Some people do have sound processing issues. A lot of them are interested in tech issues. The channel owner can decide if he wants to work with that audience. Or not. Personally I hope he takes the input to heart
Yeah, the technology is definitely not there yet, but it's very impressive that it's like 90% of the way there. I am impressed.

Yes, I've used Quillbot in the past. it's awesome.
Cool, I’m using pro writing aid. This could help with translation
It looks like you have no control over the changes it made. You either take all of them, or non of them. That makes it a non starter for me.
Buen español de hecho! thanks for sharing.
Click noise I had to stop it affecting my tinnitus
It doesn't work with other languages :(
Find a tool to edit out those clicks.
I like the clicking...lol
I have used the hemingway editor and grammarly in the past. Still, had to rely more on my own editing in order to maintain a story that flowed like I wanted. The translation tools are pretty cool but it would probably still be better to have a native speaker go over to make sure it works.
I was just thinking about this because I do all my writing through dictation but wish there was something to edit better besides editGPT.
I'm currently in the process of trying to resolve repeated words, phrases or even whole sentences from my story
Excellent video. Every bit of it. Thank you for the valuable info.
I use Claude as an editor and I specifically tell it to rip me a new one 😂
Now the downside, your ideas arent safe!
Yea, I've heard that they can cause tuberculosis and sad eye.
I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with this video. , but did anyone else notice that the updated ChatGPT can now remember information across chats? I had character abilities in one chat and started a new one with a different question and it used information from my other chat!

wow really? Do you know what you can do to stop this from happening?
