After such a useful and productive project management experience, I couldn’t be more ready to launch my mini series. This week, we focused on post-production! Editing has become one of my favorite things to do, so focusing on this task wasn’t difficult at all. After spending hours of researching the software Capcut, I couldn’t be more ready to edit my own videos.
Using such an easy-to-use software, editing came naturally! I would highly recommend Capcut to beginning editors, like me! There were so many free text templates and other useful features, I didn’t need to worry about upgrading to pro. The editing process was so simple, and I can’t wait to use Capcut soon for any future projects!
Filming was a super fun experience as well. Being a hands-on person who doesn’t usually get to do projects like this, creating this project allowed me to expand my creative side and try new things! Style Files was overall such a fun project to make, and wouldn’t trade any of my experience for the world!
Having inspiration from some of my favorite YouTubers greatly helped in securing my vision for the series. Jasmine Le and Drew Joiner were my main inspirations, as I enjoy their editing styles and video formats! By watching their videos, I was able to look into how they were edited or formatted, and try my best to recreate (not copy!!) these techniques for my own series.
After my editing process of all three videos, it was time to upload!
Uploading to YouTube was incredibly simple, hence why I chose the platform. With customizable features such as adding cards into the video of other videos I created, I utilized as many features to help with my viewers’ accessibility. When creating content in the future, I now know that uploading to YouTube is one of the easiest processes, and would recommend to anyone!
Making my descriptions was also incredibly customizable as well. When watching YouTube for fun, I always find myself reading the descriptions of videos made by creators, as it feels like a mini message to viewers. So I wanted to recreate that feeling, and have a mini chat with my viewers and tell them a bit about the video. Also, when uploading to YouTube, don’t forget to credit any music used in the video! This can be incredibly important to these creators who work hard for these audios!
All in all, creating this mini video series was a dream. Being able to create this series about something I am passionate about was incredibly liberating, and I wouldn’t trade any of this experience for the world. With the software and programs I used; Capcut, YouTube, Canva, and more, the editing and creating process was not too difficult, and have taught me so much about my own working process and project management skills. If you were ever thinking about creating your own content, GO FOR IT!! You never know who it’ll reach!
