How long have you been doing this? I'd love to talk to you sometime about getting started filming and editing, i got myself an 18" neewer ring light, 4 backdrops and a holder for them, a lapel mic, a studio Mic with the whole stabilizer and screen setup, and I'm going to start filming after my move. In the meantime I'm going cross eyed watching other videos on filming and editing but don't understand some of the terminology, so i thought maybe i should take some courses at a film school or community college, but then my concern is wasting timeand possibly money having to also learn a bunch of irrelevant shit, like how to capture moving shots or film outdoors etc. I'm smart and a quick learner but i get stoned and overthink the whole thing.
I'll be filming on my android, an lg V40 ThinQ. It's got 3 cameras on it! According to my research so far, it sounds like either in shot or... Kinemaster? were the easiest to use but I'm thinking maybe I'll try the free version of whatever until i know if i like it.
Sorry for all the questions and i understand if you have a million better things to do besides give a (cute) stranger advice, but you inspire me!

Outstanding editing!!
But put any money you make on the youtube site towards a ransom for your eyebrows--they always look like they are trying to desperately escape your head whenever you taste one of those pepper sauces!!!
Amnesty International should get involved for this torture you force them to endure!

I didn't know the first thing about shooting or editing video, or recording sound or audio, or lighting, or any of the gear required, at this time last year. The only thing that I had to do on Pulpit of Doom was plug in a USB mic, fire up Discord, and run my yap. I started the solo podcast so I'd have to learn to do everything. So I'm less than a year in.

I've not taken any classes, just watched a lot of youtube videos and put in a lot of hands-on time. You can learn anything you need to know for free, and you can get a lot of the software that you need for free too, and you can get good video editing software for not that much. You don't have to have the best gear to get a good result, either; a lot of it is about proper setup (lighting, audio and camera settings are all key) and attention to detail in post (post-production, aka editing hahaha).

Recording video to edit and shooting live-stream are two completely beasts, and require different software (if you want to do things efficiently) and sometimes different equipment and setups. A lot of people do a combination, using broadcasting software like OBS Studio to record (which lets you do a lot of complex stuff on-the-fly, like all the transitions and cuts and media embeds that you see on, say, a news broadcast) and then editing what they've recorded using traditional video editing software.

So, "what are you trying to do?" is the question.

Regardless of the answer, this video helped me A LOT when I got in my new workspace and had room to set up proper lighting. It also helped me get much better video, because for a good while I was recording with my camera set in auto mode, when I should have had the f-stop and ISO turned way down from where they were.




Also, regardless of the answer, good-sounding audio is WAY more important than most people think, and that takes the right gear for the environment, probably changes to the environment too. My first studio was a walk-in closet in an apartment; I had to hang heavy blankets on the walls and the back of the door to eliminate all the reverb to get good-sounding audio. Where I am working now, I can't "dry" the room up enough, so I had to put away my broadcast mic and go with a lav mic that picks up way less reverb from the room.

That said, if you record separate audio (which is what I did in my first studio), or if you have to put together a show intro audio segment, or edit show music, or something like that, you're going to need an audio editor, and Audacity is free and it is probably all you need:




And if you have different bits of audio that don't match up volume-wise, this thing is a drag-and-drop audio post miracle-worker, and it's free:

The Levelator® from The Conversations Network

The Conversations Network

www.conversationsnetwork.org

My brother is an audio engineer with a fucking Grammy under his belt, and he said audio that I tweaked with The Levelator "sounded really good".

And since OBS Studio is free and everyone uses it for streaming, and even if you don't stream, it's a great tool to know how to use (I used it for the visualizer "music videos" in Episode 5), and these are excellent tutorials:






Beyond that, happy to answer any specific questions, if I can. Still an amateur.
