http://www.visibleauthority.com Editing your own video can be daunting. I get it. So much of how your message is received has to do with the way it looks and sounds. If you want to present in a way that it can be appreciated, then you need some degree of control over the tools that are capable of making that happen. Of course the fear is that you won't be up to the task. That's a disturbing thought, especially if you've made it this far on the video path. For once you get beyond the magic of what lighting and microphones and backdrops and scripts can offer, you find yourself standing at the doorstep of a video editing program. And maybe that seems to be a door with a lock on it that only a professional can open. Well, I'm here to tell you that thought is an illusion. It's an illusion of the exact same type that told you you could not be on video in the first place; that that was only for those few "chosen" ones. Yet somehow you saw through that illusion and broke through to the freedom that putting yourself on camera can offer. So, OK, you've now discovered that was just the first step in a multi-step process. And while this next step seems harder, the truth is, it's much easier. Many of today's video editing programs can help you fly through the process, if you know what to do with them. You just need a recipe. It's that simple. Here's mine. It's a way to cut your editing time by 85% without losing a bit of quality. I think you'll like it. There's strategy for all three parts of the edit process, including: 1. The Shoot 2. The Pre-Edit 3. The Adjustments When you combine these elements, you're easily able to cut down your time, your frustration and up your quality by a fairly large percentage! This strategy will defeat worry, crush doubt, decimate anxiety and hand you yet another big video breakthrough. Not a bad outcome for an 11 minute investment. :) https://youtu.be/AoQznjFt_es ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoQznjFt_es

Hollywood pros don’t care nearly as much about counting pixels as the public thinks. They can make art from stone knives and bearskins or your basic gazillion dollar Arriflex. Emmy-nominated film editor John Soares knows both terrains like the back of his hand. In telling his story, John will show you examples of high-end filmmaking with tools anyone can afford. More importantly, he'll show you how the best tools are the one between your ears and the one beating passionately in your chest. This is the 90% of the iceberg you don't normally see. Why is this important in using video for sales and marketing? Because the air gap between business and entertainment is really small. Once you get that, your own production, no matter how modest your goals, will never be quite the same. And that's a good thing for you and your audience. I would watch this interview with a cup of coffee (or two) and the intention of soaking up a few new and helpful ideas! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFw2TQY7-oM
