Video Editing and Design for Sophie VL

Overview

Sophie VL is a business coach who helps overwhelmed entrepreneurs grow their online business and ditch the plan B.

YouTube Videos

Sophie creates consistent videos every Tuesday and Thursday, so I edit 2 videos a week.

Color Correction and Lighting

The first thing I do for any video is a color correction and adjust the lighting. Before I start any project, I send a questionnaire to my clients. From that questionnaire, I take into consideration the style that the client likes, their brand, and their content when deciding on lighting and color.

Editing and cuts

This is all dependent on the client. At the beginning of the project, there were a lot of jump cuts and heavy editing when there were mistakes. Sophie didn’t care too much for having a lot of edits and cuts, because she wanted to keep things natural.

Channel Manager

I’m actually the channel manager for Sophie VL. I upload videos, research titles, and tags, schedule the videos and create the end cards for the videos. Sophie only has to concentrate on creating awesome content.

Thumbnails and Instagram promo

We’re still experimenting with design, but here’s the evolution of thumbnails.

I also create the promo images for Instagram.

IG TV

As soon as IG TV launched, we started experimenting with it. Now we have a system down for repurposing videos to fit the IG TV format.

Instagram Story for YouTube and IG TV Promos

For every video I edit for YouTube and IG TV, I create an Instagram Story with a highlight from the video. The design concept was created by Sophie, but I implemented her idea and created promos that fit her brand.

Intro

When I started on Sophie’s project, she really wanted a branded intro. She already had an intro video that she created with a compilation of herself. At first, she wanted to get rid of it, but I really loved it and thought it fit her brand. I combined her video and animated her logo to create her video intro.

Project Summary

I love working with Sophie VL. While editing her videos, I feel like I know her as a person (we message each other, but have only spoken together like 3 times) and I have learned so much from her videos. For example, I didn’t like my sales funnel and after editing and watching her video, HOW TO CREATE A SIMPLE SALES FUNNEL FOR YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS, I ended up updating my sales funnel.

An inside look at my client process

October 2, 2017March 8, 2018

I don’t know about other people, but I love structure. No matter what field I’m working in, I love to be organized (even what looks like a mess is actually organized in some way) and streamline my work process. This is an inside look at my client process from onboarding to project completion. Read More “An inside look at my client process”

Video editing made easy

July 22, 2019July 13, 2019

Do you hate video editing? Does it take up too much of your time? Well here’s a quick and easy way to edit videos for your business. Basically, video editing made easy.

The #1 reason my clients come to me to edit their videos is because they HATE video editing. It takes up too much of their time and energy that they could have put towards other business projects.

In this week’s video, I’m going to show you a quick and easy way to edit videos for your business. Basically, video editing made easy and less time-consuming.

Video editing made easy

It’s all in the Filming

It all starts during the filming process. If you watched the video on how to have quicker video shoots, then you know you need to film in sections.

If you didn’t catch that video, then watch it here. It should be in the cards in this video, which is in the upper right-hand side, the icon that looks like a lowercase ‘i’.

Filming in sections will also help make video editing easier. Instead of editing one long video, it’s faster to edit sections.

Another thing to do while filming is to clap every time you make mistakes. If you see a big spike on the sound wave from where you clapped or if you see the clap, you know to disregard this section and go on to the next. This saves so much time in editing because you can just fast forward past the mistakes instead of wasting time watching each mistake.

How to create a YouTube end screen

February 11, 2019February 15, 2019

Want to keep viewers watching your YouTube videos? Learn how to add an end screen to your YouTube video.

So you want people to keep watching your videos after they’ve found you? Well, there’s an easy way to do that, and that’s end screens.

How to add end screens to your videos.

YouTube is great, because once people find your videos, and they like you, they’ll binge-watch all your videos, so why not make it easy for them by adding an end screen?

Before we get started, make sure you’re logged into your YouTube channel, of course, and just so you know, you can actually add an end screen to a video that you’re uploading, or an already uploaded video.

So let me show you how to do that. First, of course, we need to upload a video, now you want to create an end screen. So, the point of the end screen is to keep people watching your videos, so they can keep watching your most recent video, your best video, and you can also have a subscribe icon.

So on the right hand side, I already put in the subscribe button. I’m going to add an element, I’m going to add ‘Video or Playlist’, and I’m going to put ‘Most Recent Upload’.

5 Questions To Ask Your Designer On A Free Consult Call

February 26, 2018June 15, 2018

I’m not good at improvising. I think most of us aren’t. So when I take a call or go to an interview I’m always prepared. I look up the questions that someone will potentially ask me and then I rehearse my answers. Since a consult call is like a short interview, I’ve prepared 5 questions to ask your designer on a free consult call. Read More “5 Questions To Ask Your Designer On A Free Consult Call”

Video Editing and Design for SEEKAYSEE

December 10, 2018April 10, 2019

This project is kind of a passion project. I’ve always wanted to step into the realm of beauty, fashion, and lifestyle vlogs.

I stumbled upon SeeKaySee on YouTube searching for cruelty-free beauty tutorials. I saw her doing one of her creative makeup tutorials and started stalking her on Instagram.

We messaged each other a few times and I started going to her live Twitch streams. If you haven’t been to a live Twitch stream, it’s amazing. It’s like attending a live show and interacting with the host and other people in the chat.

The downside of Twitch streams is they are long and their focus is mainly on gaming, but I think it definitely has potential (for business and other genres).

Getting back on topic, I thought it was a waste not to create shorter videos of her makeup tutorials and add them to YouTube, and that’s how this collaboration came about.

I started repurposing Chris’s 3-hour Twitch videos so they could become short makeup tutorials for YouTube. This sort of morphed into other video ideas.

Check out the video below of funny moments from SeeKaySee. I had fun editing together her funniest moments and adding graphics to match the mood.

How Design Revisions Work

December 18, 2017March 8, 2018

Depending on the design package, my clients get 1-2 revisions for each item. Most designers have revisions so that we can accommodate the client’s input before the final design is selected. This is how design revisions work. Read More “How Design Revisions Work”
