I try and remove them where I can, but I say so many... it gets difficult, so just do the best I can be bothered with
Wow, I love making videos, but editing them for me can be a tough. My equipment is slow, and when the audio is bad I just feel like mix taping over the whole thing or just throwing out the footage entirely. Wish we lived close by to each other we could collab.I really like editing especially if I have good footage. Making the vids themselves is the hobby for me rather than the vlogging bit.
DaVinci Resolve is very good especially considering its free.
I'm not disappointed with the final vids but would like more footage maybe from someone else on the ride to edit in.
I just leave them in, haha. But maybe in the future I will try and edit them out. Leaving them in, makes me want to try and not use them next time, but I am sure that is a horrible strategy. Editing them out might be challenging could create some better content!I am also a over user of filler words.
I tend to find that I can set a camera rolling and talk the subject over and over. I can do it off camera, but as soon as the camera is on I am different and feel nervous. If I talk the subject over and over I start to relax. Start to get more natural, although sometimes I find that I prefer part of how I said it in once take, and the end of another which is where the hours of editing comes in!!! Although, sometimes it doesnt match as smoothly as I'd like!
I do try to take out as many umms and errrs in editing as I can. Does everyone else leave them in or just try not to say them, or do they take them out in editing?
hey guys so my latest video went live this morning... during filming and editing I was so happy and felt it was my best yet but watching again last night before posting all I could think was " could have been better "
Does this happen to you ??
Maybe edit the disappointed parts out and re-upload?Most of the time I'm not disappointed with the whole video, but there are always parts I'm disappointed in. I also feel I use too many filler words, and I have been making a conscious effort to not use them.
Yep, sometimes if I am talking to the camera I remove so many fillers that I end up looking like I am jumping all over the place
This is what i try most of the time as wellIf I do mess up, I generally stop talking for a good 15-20 seconds and just start over. I find my edits are easier this way
I tend to watch the renderd product the next day.My rule of thumb for quality is if I would want to watch it again myself, it's good
Can you write a sentence using "like" and the alternative to show what you mean? As I "like" bananas / I "not only, but also" bananas doesn't make sense?I am ultra guilty of using the filler word 'like'. I sometimes feel I use it subconsciously too. I found this great and simple list of other transition words (that are common but overlooked sometimes) that could be used instead of 'like'.
Here is an excerpt:
not only ... but also
as a matter of fact
in addition
coupled with
in the same fashion / way
first, second, third
in the light of
not to mention
to say nothing of

by the same token
I have also noticed when you slow down your speech it can help pounce on the use of unneeded filler words.
Lol, true true it does not work in every scenario. I like banans is a valid use of the word 'like'.Can you write a sentence using "like" and the alternative to show what you mean? As I "like" bananas / I "not only, but also" bananas doesn't make sense?
Soz, wasn't meant as to call you out, more as to emphasise your point, if we can see where we go wrong, we can try to correct which will help our editing as we'll not be umming and arring so much My example was a bad example on purpose as it allowed you to showLol, true true it does not work in every scenario. I like banans is a valid use of the word 'like'.
Example:
Bad Sentence
So I was at the store the other day, and like this guy walked up to me, and like, he wanted to buy my bag of toilet paper, and I was like no.
Better Sentence
So I was at the store the other day, and a guy walked up to me and asked to buy my bag of toilet paper, in light of his nice gesture, I kindly said no.
I was trying to think of other examples, but it seems just deleting the word "like' entirely helps. Thanks for calling me out on that post HippoDrone! : )
I wish we had water here!I had to delete all my content from a days riding with Mr Fish and Big_Pezza, all my audio was garbo as the mic adaptor got water in it
Just keep learning CV, and stay at it. Out of all my life experiences the few who perceiver, succeed the most.Very much so! Missed footage, unsaved edits, my voice hahah and many more disappointments. But I’m learning on the fly
