But I feel very satisfied that I managed to go through this whole video, and that this was not one of those things started, but never finished. I feel like I'll appreciate the Linus TT videos way more after knowing the amount of work hidden behind them. These real-life problem-solving approaches you showed in this 4 hours long video will never be forgotten, Taran. Your enthusiasm and your creativity are contagious. Best of luck for anything you do man! This video is probably worth years of college... and not many can afford those. Thank you so much! God Bless
@@DamiemBlorp I didn't monitor the hours, sorry, but I didn't do much else apart from AHK self-education during these days... It wouldn't surprise me if I did hit 100 hours in total, or more, as what I did was basically a very condensed and brutal deep dive, now that I thank about it... but also I had never used AHK by then, so I guess it's fair? I am still using those key combos every day ;)
This is next level stuff my man you have just changed my life Edit: It's been two months now and I am serious when I say you changed my life lol I use AHK for EVERYTHING now over a hundred app specific functions that has cut down on repetitive tasks so much its awesome. Thanks bro 🤝
@@SteamFi the most useful stuff is the editing shortcuts for premiere. Things like adding presets to clips to move them or crop them. I used to do it manually every time but since it’s always the same exact crop I can now automate it. Also great for creating shortcuts for games that don’t exist in the actual game like cities skyline. I use image search a lot to find little icons and click on them with a shortcut.
NEXT. LEVEL. I have been going through this, basically minute by minute. I finally completed it, and it took me 3 months. I took a LOT of notes, bought some products, made some AHK scripts, researched things, familiarized myself with the shortcuts, looked through every single thing in Premiere Pro (and research what they do), and more! This video is absolutely amazing! I would love another even more updated tutorial because it has been five years since this was uploaded.
Mate, I've been working as a film + tv editor for a decade (primarily in AVID) and I've never seen a video like this. so detailed, beautifully executed, and with SO many great tips and tricks to speed up workflow. absolutely incredible
@@Mintyoreos I watch Tech, Science, Gaming, Coding stuff(like c++ and java), and Linux stuff. P.S. you should make a discord server if you haven't already, I don't know.
I used to work in a local cable channel. We had this camera, that it was the best making footage. He was smooth, always calculate the time of the interviews to have the right amount of footage to use, and if he made some mistake or something was wrong, he just make a black clip so you can easily see it in the timeline. IT WAS A PLEASURE to work with him. And if you were running in a hurry (always the daily news was) if you had just 5 minutes and he arrived you know you can do it just fine. I learn a lot to being a better camera operator from that guy, just watching his footage and understanding his way of work. Here you do a little of everything, and everything is a little amateur sometimes. Third world problems, but people loving the craft are always the one that making it easier. Like working with linus. Our news guys was great too. We used to crack jokes and do stupid things to make it laugh live, and he was super pro, but when we cut, he just burst to tears and laugh. Work in live tv sometimes is awfull. But sometimes you have the best times. With the editor we shared the work, we just look each other and we knew how to make things done. It was so smooth.
I started working as a freelance video editor just over a year ago for pennies on the dollar and I remember watching this all the way through twice (and the 3 hour version). It made me rethink how I work and gave me belief that I could actually do this for a living. I'm now able to afford my rent, loans, all that good stuff and have consistent work with great clients after a year, in part because of things I've learned from this one video. So thanks Taran :)

Hey Taran, rewatching this after you uploaded the video about leaving LTT. I want to thank you for this amazing creation and wish you luck in your future endeavors!

This is my favorite CZcams video of all time. I've watched the first 15 seconds of it many times. But to me the four hour CZcams video on how to edit a video for CZcams represents the very best part of the internet and CZcams and humanity itself. It's always a magical feeling when you stubble across a gem of CZcams video or thumb through a copy of the Guinness book of World records and are in amazement, awe, shock, confusion and bewilderment when you stop and think "there's someone out there that actually did that". There really is someone who ate 96 hot dogs in 3 minutes. Or there really is a 4 hour CZcams video of how to Edit Videos. Or there really are grown men who love to dress up and make believe they are dogs (look up Human Pups). Humanity is a strikingly beautiful but sometimes very odd thing.
This tutorial is still so useful 5 years later. Switching from vegas to premiere and realising how much time i've wasted because i've never truly learned the program, crazy stuff (Luckily i'm not editing that frequently. Probably just 10-20 videos this year). Need to rewatch this in a few month probably
I've watched this 6 times now. and I always learn something new each time haha. I've made 167 videos in my time and there's still something new to learn every day. My advice to new editors trying to get into editing and to OLD EDITORS that are dealing with burnout. Being sure to keep learning is the best way to succeed.
As a 19-year-old girl who's just landed her first editing job for a 3.5 million subscriber CZcams channel (and as someone who does CZcams herself), this video was beyond helpful. I watched through the whole thing in one go and I'll probably go back and watch it several more times to ensure that I understand everything as much as possible. In my situation, I get footage late at night (sometimes past midnight) and I have until about 2pm the next day to edit everything together. Since I (typically) sleep at night and I also go to school, that leaves me with very little time to edit. I NEEDED something like this to help me reduce my time editing while maximizing my results. I still have a lot to learn about Premiere Pro, but I'm learning, and this has helped tremendously. And even though programming is not something I'm familiar with AT ALL, I'm going to look into those shortcuts you mentioned throughout the video. Watching your editing process was so awesome, and I aspire to be as proficient as you. I've never heard of you or of LTT before, but now I'm subscribed to both of you thanks to this video. Thank you so much for putting so much work into this video, and I hope you continue to make these! P.S. Your voice over was great, so entertaining! I'm glad I didn't end up watching a 4-hour long video with a monotone narrator!
Thanks! I made this precisely because it's the kind of video that I would have wanted when I was first starting out. Don't be afraid to push for more time. Getting footage at midnight, and having to deliver by 2pm the next day? Ridiculous. You need a one-day turnaround at LEAST. Especially if you're also going to school. Don't let those guys take advantage of you. Learn what you can, make what money you can, and move onward and upwards if they don't improve those working conditions.
This guy made a 4 hour and 20-minute tutorial, for free, with no ads, and he time-stamped every chapter and subchapter... Now that's being generous if I've ever seen one be.
A few years later, I’m still recommending this video to people who wishes to bring their workflow to the next level. I only applied less than 10% of the knowledge from this video but it has helped me tremendously. Thanks Taran and I love your LEGO videos too
I don't even edit but thanks for doing this for people that need it. This seems like a huge effort and is much appreciated. Good moves Taran, keep it up, proud of you!
This honestly looks like it could take even longer than that and you only got time to work on this every once in awhile! I'd say this is pretty good for 10 months and how much time you actually had to spend to work on this Taran!
I know this video is old, but at 1:03:50 there's a mistake. You don't save Source Assignment presets from the wrench icon, but by right-clicking the source patching area. the presets that are in the wrench icon are for organizing the timeline view. This can be particularly useful for the "locktrack()" function to reset the timeline to a known configuration, maximize it ( with maximize active frame" shortcut, then click on the tracks you want to lock. This way you can lock any tracks you want with the function, without the need for any screenshots of the icons.
I'm blown away by this. I've been working as a video producer for the last six years, mostly using FCPX, and I'm learning Premiere now. This is so helpful for getting up to speed. I'm two hours in, and particularly loved how you showed trying to find a better way to sort through audio files by their wav forms, even though it wasn't successful. It gave such a great insight into how you've slowly accumulated so many techniques over the years and how you're constantly improving. This is truly inspirational. Thank you for putting so much love into it.
Quick follow up - inspired by this, I released a four-hour photoshop crash course as a single video on YT. It now has over 100,000 views, and I'm very happy that I went the stupidly long way, rather than breaking it up as five to ten minute mini-video way. So, thanks again.
@@MaoDev Nope. Even if I did run ads on this channel, I would only put 1 on this video. I did not make this for the money. It would have been a terrible financial decision anyway.
@@TaranVH Sir I just want to say a *HUGE* *THANK YOU* for this video. I have been wanting to learn editing for a while, and I don't know if I could have found a better teacher! Cheers👍
popping back in because this was on my recommended 3 years after seeing it for the first time... probably will get lost in the sea of comments, but thanks... this really helped me grow and helped me to get as far as i am now. To anyone reading this... good luck, and don't forget to have fun with it all along the way
I have no reason to watch this tutorial since I already know Premiere very well but I came in to comment that I appreciate the lengthy tutorial that covers everything, instead of being beholden to the CZcams algorithm and posting a bunch of 10-15 min vids.
@41:40, I know I am a bit late commenting on this video, but the reason for the audio lowering is because you are only supposed to use mono files in mono tracks and not in Standard (stereo) tracks. If you drop a mono clip on a stereo timeline, it will half the audio volume. I've created a multichannel preset for my work, where audio comes ready from the studio, usually in 5.1 and 2.0 form, for mastering. that way I create an 8 channel timeline preset and map all channels correspondingly to the 8 outputs. So, multichannel, with 8 mono tracks, and mapping them to each corresponding channel.
I know nothing about video editing, but I do really enjoy watching people who clearly have a lot of knowledge explain what they do. You have a really great voiceover style and an engaging pace. At the very least I am learning something about how AHK works!
Props for the Timestamps and chapter labeling. Really, every long video should have that. Damn you even explained the fucking youtube shortcuts. God bless you
For those wondering, it took him 10 months to edit this 4 hour video, he comfirmed it by replying to a comment below, you can also see in some shots that its dated january when he recorded this.....
that doesnt make sense. if he was editing in january that doesnt mean he was editing THIS in januarary. he was editing another video in January. if he was editing this it wouldnt show. hard to explain but i seriously doubt it took him 10 months anyways
I have 5 years of video editing experience in Premier. let's see if I can get anything outta this :) Edit: Thoughts after watching the video. Yes the whole. fucking. thing: I'm already pretty fucking tired so imma keep it short. I am absolutely MIND BOGGLED at how efficiently you use AHK. I honestly thought after my 5 years of experience that I had it figured out. I thought I was getting to the peak of efficiency but you completely blew that out of the water for me. I really love your style and I admire to reach your efficiency some day when I'm actually professionally editing. Great job on that and keep it up! Additionally you covered practically every piece of knowledge I gathered through my experiences which is something amazing and I actually didn't think you were gonna manage to do. I can safely say that I agree with essentially everything you talk about in your video and it adds up with my experiences. Also here's actually the only thing I really learned out of this: how to use the stupid set to frame size/scale to frame size without any issues. Thank you for that I honestly had so many problems with it and you've finally cleared up for me :) concluding, there is absolutely no denying your knowledge and experience in Premier Pro and video editing. Again I've spent the past 5 years of my life learning video editing, color correcting, and color grading (Still aren't great with color but I'll get there as I'm sure you will as well) so there was not much in this video for me since I've experienced everything you have and potentially more in some aspects. For example: at 52:17 you mentioned that markers on clips are permanent, however not too long ago I found out that by default, pressing F will show the frame of the playhead in the source monitor window where you can see the marker and interact with it as if it's on the timeline by double clicking on it of course. Double clicking the clip to open the original clip works the same as well. Simple solution to a rather trivial problem. With that said I am seriously astonished at how you truly managed to fit 4 years of experience into a 4 hour video. It is honestly amazing. You're a great editor as it stands and I'm sure you will keep improving. I hope you have a great rest of your experience with Linus' media group and you keep up your amazing work. Amazing job on this video and best of luck to you :)
Best comment so far. You and I, we had to figure this shit out one piece at a time. I wish I had a video like this for reference when I was starting out, as I'm sure you would as well. That's why I made it. So, are you gonna learn some AHK? Have I convinced you? What kind of videos do you edit?
Yea I had to piece people's knowledge into my own experiences as I'm sure you have. Actually I've scratched the surface of AHK a few years back I never managed to learn it so deeply and if I do ever edit professionally I will 100% start putting time into learning it but as it stands I don't really think it's worth the investment just yet. I've edited basically all sorts of videos from short films to long movies montages and what have you, however nothing professional really. I'm still a college student so making enough time and portraying experiences is still a little rough. I'm currently KIND OF settled as one of the editors for Ohnickel while i go through college and then I'll just kinda see what happens after that.
This is awesome! As a youtuber myself, you really get the hang out of premiere with some time..you you become really fast. At first a video took me about 8h to cut. Now it is a bout 3h - but also trippled in post production quality!^^ But this tutorial is so great! I really learned something here.
we are 5 minutes in and I already learned a lot about youtube and I didn't even expect that to happen. I'm beginning to develop a shortcut fetish. I BLAME YOU TARAN! much love, you're my hero❤
After 20 minutes of watching, it seems that I haven't learned 5 percent of video editing yet. So I skipped watching the video here. First I finish the initial level of video editing, then I will come to see this tutorial. Love from Bangladesh ❤️🇧🇩
3:12:37 - You can actually copy transitions to multiple edit points. Just have to hold Ctrl to select the edit points and then paste, will paste the transition to all of them
My brain is moving at 1 year per hour .. Like it fucking should be. I hate all the trendy “meme edit” filler people add to tutorials these days, so I REALLY appreciate the effort making this just to help people get better at their beloved craft 🙌
I'm glad I'm even able to understand it 😂. Last time I checked on this video i just ran away. I haven't watched much till now but understanding things means I've improved at least.
Daamn you!!! This guy's IQ level and organization skills are R-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S to the point that he made me take the time to write a comment on youtube, which I almost never do, and even take the time to type R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S like that, twice now; we should be honored to be watching brilliance and should be so thankful for the internet for giving us easy access to what would have cost thousands of dollars and hours of non-productive classes with other people on different advancement levels of course. Thank you man.
Dylan Smith I can name 1000 people on the top of my head that even if you give them 50 years of free time, they will never be able to make a tutorial such as this one. Very few people have the combination of having a high IQ, organised and willing to put in the hours
@@shallfadi Funny, I skipped through this video just out of interest in LTT and found myself thinking what sort of intelligence level you would need to perform this job and stumbled on this comment, which I think is wrong. To his credit, automating work to the extent he has requires a level of gumption. However, editing CZcams videos cannot be a very intellectually demanding job, especially having watched this video - it's nothing more than a trade, in a similar vein as carpentry or plumbing. Do you need above average intellect? Most likely. How far above average(~100IQ) do you need to be? I'd posit no more than a little over a standard deviation. Certainly smarter than ~85% of the population. Perhaps that's stunning intellect in your eyes, I won't judge.
People here talking about IQ, like if IQ is the most important thing to learn how to edit a video... IQ doesnt tell u how intelligent u are, it only tells u how inteligent u are relative to other people. U can have a low IQ but u can be good at editing
Oh. My. Goodness. This was the longest 4 hours of my life. I felt like having a degree in Premiere Pro editing now. I didn't even know you were the main editor of Linus Tech and I just happened to come across with your video because CZcams bombarded me with Premiere Pro Turtorial recommendations because it is what I have been searching. THANK YOU SIR! ---A Filipino new fan
This is awesome btw. I love that I can get a glimpse into editing in a team environment, rather than as the head of a 2 man operation. Always interesting to see the number audio. I usually max my internal volume to 100, and then set my volume midline on the astro mixamp. It's just about perfect for any well balanced audio, and the astros (a40s) are great for editing. They are not crazy expensive, but provide a great range of sound and the mixamp is just really nice.
This is invaluable. I am still trying to wrap my head around half of this. This is going to be something I come back to. Thank you so much for putting so much time into this and teaching us your techniques. THANK YOU!
because of something you tell about of devices that I have have never seen before , it seems like a dream and I start sleeping ! -peace(czcams.com/video/SyF20ZHShmE/video.html)
It's crazy to see how you and the rest of your team work. So much invaluable information in this video, not only about premiere, but about working with a team, managing your time, taking care of your mental health... this is so much more than just a video editing tutorial. You sir, are an absolute legend and I can't even put into words how appreciative I am of you taking the time to put all of this together.
Just.... What?! How is this even free to watch? This is amazing! I'm learning so many things I didn't know before. This video has been what I've been learning at school for 1,5 years now, but way better and quicker! Taran, I've got to say - You're the man. I really apreccieate
I may be clicking away soon into the video, but I promise I put this in "Watch Later", and will be coming back to it repeatedly. BTW, I have never edited video beyond "this one time" sort of work, and the mere existence of your video is already inspiring me to change that... Where others haven't, by the way.
I must confess! you re selfless benevolence to take ya time and create the whole of these and upload it for someone like me to take advantage of. Thanks Boss, I appreciate
4:41 Audio Problem - The bass is missing because the waveform of the two mics are out of phase and are canceling each other out. To fix this the boom mic (which is usually further away from the sound source) needs to be delayed by a few milliseconds. Some recorders can do this. Premiere can't do it from what I'm aware of.
@taran You have literally saved six months of studying. I thank you for it. This is the video I always refer back to whenever I get into a jam. I have no idea, how many times I have watched this video of yours, it's literally sitting as a shortcut on my desktop. I do understand that I edit in DaVinci Resolve, being poor and all, but, your reference material is what helps me to exactly find out how to go about solving the problems. I am however, sorry to say, that I don't think I have watched the entire video in one sitting. Come on, it's over 4 hours long. I normally skip to the section I need. I know this is an extremely long essay type of a comment, but the comment by Scoobie Cub, kinda got to me. and fyi, A million subs don't exactly pay the bills, the watch time does. Thank you for being here for me.
@@TaranVH 🙀 You answered back? Thank you so much! Linus and you are actually the two people who inspired me to open my channels. Matthias as well, but he is on another channel.

It really is everything, that is an applicable way to describe it.
Taran, thank you very much for making this available for free.
I almost wanted to charge people something. Not because I need/want the money, but because then they'd take it more seriously. ;)
Yeah. This is really helpful! Helped me more than my 1 semister Premiere Pro editing class!
you haven't even seen it yet!!
he must have watched at 2 times speed
Feel free to leave comments AS you watch the video, since if you wait until the end, you won't be able to remember EVERYTHING you wanted to talk about! Include timestamps if applicable!
Once you get to the end, leave a long comment!
you should script with Celtx
Taran Van Hemert my digital media program at school uses rundown creator for scripts. It's pretty good
Taran Van Hemert you said that this is as quick as possible sooo post it on techquickie!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite CZcams video of all time. I've watched the first 15 seconds of it many times. But to me the four hour CZcams video on how to edit a video for CZcams represents the very best part of the internet and CZcams and humanity itself. It's always a magical feeling when you stubble across a gem of CZcams video or thumb through a copy of the Guinness book of World records and are in amazement, awe, shock, confusion and bewilderment when you stop and think "there's someone out there that actually did that". There really is someone who ate 96 hot dogs in 3 minutes. Or there really is a 4 hour CZcams video of how to Edit Videos. Or there really are grown men who love to dress up and make believe they are dogs (look up Human Pups). Humanity is a strikingly beautiful but sometimes very odd thing.
Whats with the gay reference though
what the fuck did I just read.

Ill.. probably watch it some day

That was at 4:00 midnight!
WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE DANNY!
This man literally drops video editting super powers on you and all you do is probably not watch it ever? The world is doomed
Hey, if i say someday its someday, not never.
dammit
This tutorial is still so useful 5 years later. Switching from vegas to premiere and realising how much time i've wasted because i've never truly learned the program, crazy stuff (Luckily i'm not editing that frequently. Probably just 10-20 videos this year). Need to rewatch this in a few month probably
and i'm back lol
I've watched this 6 times now. and I always learn something new each time haha. I've made 167 videos in my time and there's still something new to learn every day. My advice to new editors trying to get into editing and to OLD EDITORS that are dealing with burnout. Being sure to keep learning is the best way to succeed.
Bro how can I contact you? I have doubts
As a 19-year-old girl who's just landed her first editing job for a 3.5 million subscriber CZcams channel (and as someone who does CZcams herself), this video was beyond helpful. I watched through the whole thing in one go and I'll probably go back and watch it several more times to ensure that I understand everything as much as possible. In my situation, I get footage late at night (sometimes past midnight) and I have until about 2pm the next day to edit everything together. Since I (typically) sleep at night and I also go to school, that leaves me with very little time to edit. I NEEDED something like this to help me reduce my time editing while maximizing my results. I still have a lot to learn about Premiere Pro, but I'm learning, and this has helped tremendously. And even though programming is not something I'm familiar with AT ALL, I'm going to look into those shortcuts you mentioned throughout the video. Watching your editing process was so awesome, and I aspire to be as proficient as you. I've never heard of you or of LTT before, but now I'm subscribed to both of you thanks to this video. Thank you so much for putting so much work into this video, and I hope you continue to make these!
P.S. Your voice over was great, so entertaining! I'm glad I didn't end up watching a 4-hour long video with a monotone narrator!
Thanks! I made this precisely because it's the kind of video that I would have wanted when I was first starting out.
Don't be afraid to push for more time. Getting footage at midnight, and having to deliver by 2pm the next day? Ridiculous. You need a one-day turnaround at LEAST. Especially if you're also going to school. Don't let those guys take advantage of you. Learn what you can, make what money you can, and move onward and upwards if they don't improve those working conditions.
I was just looking through the comments of this after watching it and found you here lol Hey Sicsen!
Get real clients. Not a bunch of people trying to make """"content"""", and have ridiculous demand like finishing an edit the same day.
When the tutorial of the actual tutorial is 26 minutes long on 6 chapters, you know that shit is about to get real.
this guy needs a award for being an amazing human being thank you so much
The most remarkable part of this is that the video is nearly 4 and a half hours and there not a single ad. Big up, you
Not an editor but a programmer, and I'm fascinated by your macro setup.
Can you make me premiere pro for android? :D
Yeah sure give me 2 days
lol :D
I just bought another keyboard just for macro keys. I can do it in under 5 seconds now. Get good.
just ONE extra keyboard? Bitch get on my level. I could do that in 0.5 seconds..
Aside from entry level stuff. No one needs to go anywhere else, this video has it all.
Holy Moly.
how to download pleas help me
def going to watch the whole thing tysm

Wow what a throwback seeing all the OG tech tips ppl where did everyone go

This guy made a 4 hour and 20-minute tutorial, for free, with no ads, and he time-stamped every chapter and subchapter...
Now that's being generous if I've ever seen one be.
A few years later, I’m still recommending this video to people who wishes to bring their workflow to the next level. I only applied less than 10% of the knowledge from this video but it has helped me tremendously. Thanks Taran and I love your LEGO videos too

He ain't lyin'.
man
I don't even edit but thanks for doing this for people that need it. This seems like a huge effort and is much appreciated. Good moves Taran, keep it up, proud of you!
Thank you. This took 10 months, on and off.
This honestly looks like it could take even longer than that and you only got time to work on this every once in awhile! I'd say this is pretty good for 10 months and how much time you actually had to spend to work on this Taran!
I have been editing in Premiere since I was 15 so for, *counts*, 18 years and your AHK scripts are completely blowing my mind.
I know this video is old, but at 1:03:50 there's a mistake.
You don't save Source Assignment presets from the wrench icon, but by right-clicking the source patching area.
the presets that are in the wrench icon are for organizing the timeline view. This can be particularly useful for the "locktrack()" function to reset the timeline to a known configuration, maximize it ( with maximize active frame" shortcut, then click on the tracks you want to lock. This way you can lock any tracks you want with the function, without the need for any screenshots of the icons.
I'm blown away by this. I've been working as a video producer for the last six years, mostly using FCPX, and I'm learning Premiere now. This is so helpful for getting up to speed. I'm two hours in, and particularly loved how you showed trying to find a better way to sort through audio files by their wav forms, even though it wasn't successful. It gave such a great insight into how you've slowly accumulated so many techniques over the years and how you're constantly improving. This is truly inspirational. Thank you for putting so much love into it.
Quick follow up - inspired by this, I released a four-hour photoshop crash course as a single video on YT. It now has over 100,000 views, and I'm very happy that I went the stupidly long way, rather than breaking it up as five to ten minute mini-video way. So, thanks again.
Watched ur photoshop crash course from start to finish, I've recommended pple 2 watch it. Great work sir.
4 hours and zero ads, that's dedication.
I think you have adblock installed
@@MaoDev Nope. Even if I did run ads on this channel, I would only put 1 on this video.
I did not make this for the money. It would have been a terrible financial decision anyway.
@@TaranVH Ya.. well, I had adblock installed lmao
@@TaranVH wait, so at over 100k you don't run ads on videos? 0_0 That really is dedication for your fans...
@@TaranVH Sir I just want to say a *HUGE* *THANK YOU* for this video.
I have been wanting to learn editing for a while, and I don't know if I could have found a better teacher!
Cheers👍
Imagine disliking a 4 hour free expert tutorial like this....
By the way love your content. this man is the perfect CZcamsr i have seen till date
I'm convinced there are dislike bots just roaming CZcams
popping back in because this was on my recommended 3 years after seeing it for the first time... probably will get lost in the sea of comments, but thanks... this really helped me grow and helped me to get as far as i am now. To anyone reading this... good luck, and don't forget to have fun with it all along the way
It`s only when you realise, he had to edit this video as well.
Dublowduck oooooog

that was my first thought
I guess he is editing an edits for an edits, like honestly this dude is SOMETHING
“Hi I’m Taran and this is how to create world peace and end poverty with AutoHotKey”
Daniel DeGeorges how did you know his secret plan.
I have no reason to watch this tutorial since I already know Premiere very well but I came in to comment that I appreciate the lengthy tutorial that covers everything, instead of being beholden to the CZcams algorithm and posting a bunch of 10-15 min vids.
And I'll leave it running 4 hours because you didn't put ads
its 4 hours so i thought it would be pure raw footage.
no.
its edited too.
fucking legendary.
This is nothing short of amazing. I learned more from this video than in my semester-long class.
u gon get them a's now huh?
good luck further into your years dude
I've never been so impressed with a CZcams video in my life. If I could press the like button multiple times I would.
MrGatlin98 You can, just make sure you press it an odd number of times XD unless you've already pressed it. Then press it an even number of times.
This is a very good point. Will do!
@41:40, I know I am a bit late commenting on this video, but the reason for the audio lowering is because you are only supposed to use mono files in mono tracks and not in Standard (stereo) tracks. If you drop a mono clip on a stereo timeline, it will half the audio volume. I've created a multichannel preset for my work, where audio comes ready from the studio, usually in 5.1 and 2.0 form, for mastering. that way I create an 8 channel timeline preset and map all channels correspondingly to the 8 outputs. So, multichannel, with 8 mono tracks, and mapping them to each corresponding channel.
I know nothing about video editing, but I do really enjoy watching people who clearly have a lot of knowledge explain what they do. You have a really great voiceover style and an engaging pace. At the very least I am learning something about how AHK works!
I'm the same, do you know anything of this video style?
*I wish everyone who read this becomes a professional video editor!*
Thanks buddy!
Thanks, you to!
Aww💖💖
Thank you!
But i wanna be an nba player
Props for the Timestamps and chapter labeling. Really, every long video should have that. Damn you even explained the fucking youtube shortcuts. God bless you
I admire your level of organization👌
guys. i actually did it. over two days, i actually watched all the way through this video. absolutely worth it
For those wondering, it took him 10 months to edit this 4 hour video, he comfirmed it by replying to a comment below, you can also see in some shots that its dated january when he recorded this.....
that doesnt make sense. if he was editing in january that doesnt mean he was editing THIS in januarary. he was editing another video in January. if he was editing this it wouldnt show. hard to explain but i seriously doubt it took him 10 months anyways
@@OhManAFatRabbit He said it took him 10 months on another comment.
So does this mean hes technically not a good and fast enough editor?
@@mightymadness3776 What difference does that make to how you utilize the information he imparts?
@@kitkellison3087 Pretty sure that was whats called a joke
I have 5 years of video editing experience in Premier. let's see if I can get anything outta this :)
Edit:
Thoughts after watching the video. Yes the whole. fucking. thing:
I'm already pretty fucking tired so imma keep it short.
I am absolutely MIND BOGGLED at how efficiently you use AHK. I honestly thought after my 5 years of experience that I had it figured out. I thought I was getting to the peak of efficiency but you completely blew that out of the water for me. I really love your style and I admire to reach your efficiency some day when I'm actually professionally editing. Great job on that and keep it up!
Additionally you covered practically every piece of knowledge I gathered through my experiences which is something amazing and I actually didn't think you were gonna manage to do. I can safely say that I agree with essentially everything you talk about in your video and it adds up with my experiences.
Also here's actually the only thing I really learned out of this: how to use the stupid set to frame size/scale to frame size without any issues. Thank you for that I honestly had so many problems with it and you've finally cleared up for me :)
concluding, there is absolutely no denying your knowledge and experience in Premier Pro and video editing. Again I've spent the past 5 years of my life learning video editing, color correcting, and color grading (Still aren't great with color but I'll get there as I'm sure you will as well) so there was not much in this video for me since I've experienced everything you have and potentially more in some aspects. For example: at 52:17 you mentioned that markers on clips are permanent, however not too long ago I found out that by default, pressing F will show the frame of the playhead in the source monitor window where you can see the marker and interact with it as if it's on the timeline by double clicking on it of course. Double clicking the clip to open the original clip works the same as well. Simple solution to a rather trivial problem.
With that said I am seriously astonished at how you truly managed to fit 4 years of experience into a 4 hour video. It is honestly amazing.
You're a great editor as it stands and I'm sure you will keep improving. I hope you have a great rest of your experience with Linus' media group and you keep up your amazing work.
Amazing job on this video and best of luck to you :)
Best comment so far.
You and I, we had to figure this shit out one piece at a time. I wish I had a video like this for reference when I was starting out, as I'm sure you would as well. That's why I made it.
So, are you gonna learn some AHK? Have I convinced you?
What kind of videos do you edit?
Yea I had to piece people's knowledge into my own experiences as I'm sure you have. Actually I've scratched the surface of AHK a few years back I never managed to learn it so deeply and if I do ever edit professionally I will 100% start putting time into learning it but as it stands I don't really think it's worth the investment just yet. I've edited basically all sorts of videos from short films to long movies montages and what have you, however nothing professional really. I'm still a college student so making enough time and portraying experiences is still a little rough. I'm currently KIND OF settled as one of the editors for Ohnickel while i go through college and then I'll just kinda see what happens after that.

Daamn you!!!
This guy's IQ level and organization skills are R-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S to the point that he made me take the time to write a comment on youtube, which I almost never do, and even take the time to type R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S like that, twice now; we should be honored to be watching brilliance and should be so thankful for the internet for giving us easy access to what would have cost thousands of dollars and hours of non-productive classes with other people on different advancement levels of course. Thank you man.
It's not exactly brainbusting work. He learned by using it, like everyone does.
Dylan Smith I can name 1000 people on the top of my head that even if you give them 50 years of free time, they will never be able to make a tutorial such as this one. Very few people have the combination of having a high IQ, organised and willing to put in the hours
@@shallfadi Funny, I skipped through this video just out of interest in LTT and found myself thinking what sort of intelligence level you would need to perform this job and stumbled on this comment, which I think is wrong. To his credit, automating work to the extent he has requires a level of gumption. However, editing CZcams videos cannot be a very intellectually demanding job, especially having watched this video - it's nothing more than a trade, in a similar vein as carpentry or plumbing. Do you need above average intellect? Most likely. How far above average(~100IQ) do you need to be? I'd posit no more than a little over a standard deviation. Certainly smarter than ~85% of the population. Perhaps that's stunning intellect in your eyes, I won't judge.
People here talking about IQ, like if IQ is the most important thing to learn how to edit a video...
IQ doesnt tell u how intelligent u are, it only tells u how inteligent u are relative to other people. U can have a low IQ but u can be good at editing
@@adamnz4839 I can see it more as a trade for youtube videos. Editing films is completely different and is most definitely an art.
Oh. My. Goodness.
This was the longest 4 hours of my life. I felt like having a degree in Premiere Pro editing now. I didn't even know you were the main editor of Linus Tech and I just happened to come across with your video because CZcams bombarded me with Premiere Pro Turtorial recommendations because it is what I have been searching.
THANK YOU SIR!
---A Filipino new fan
Glad to hear it!
I have more czcams.com/video/I9d8bg2gnug/video.html
This is awesome btw. I love that I can get a glimpse into editing in a team environment, rather than as the head of a 2 man operation.
Always interesting to see the number audio. I usually max my internal volume to 100, and then set my volume midline on the astro mixamp. It's just about perfect for any well balanced audio, and the astros (a40s) are great for editing. They are not crazy expensive, but provide a great range of sound and the mixamp is just really nice.
Haha, the fact that a person has enough empathy to understand what other peoples problems are in this way - Amazing.
This is invaluable. I am still trying to wrap my head around half of this. This is going to be something I come back to. Thank you so much for putting so much time into this and teaching us your techniques.
THANK YOU!

You sir, are an absolute legend and I can't even put into words how appreciative I am of you taking the time to put all of this together.
Just.... What?! How is this even free to watch? This is amazing! I'm learning so many things I didn't know before. This video has been what I've been learning at school for 1,5 years now, but way better and quicker! Taran, I've got to say - You're the man. I really apreccieate
4 hours from your time no ads respect .
I may be clicking away soon into the video, but I promise I put this in "Watch Later", and will be coming back to it repeatedly.
BTW, I have never edited video beyond "this one time" sort of work, and the mere existence of your video is already inspiring me to change that... Where others haven't, by the way.
The fact I don’t have a computer or a reason to edit videos, I have seen this 4-5 times already fully to the end. Love the teaching Taran.

Step 1: Get 3 keyboards for macros
Sooo much information in this video, but everything is pure gold
4:41 Audio Problem - The bass is missing because the waveform of the two mics are out of phase and are canceling each other out. To fix this the boom mic (which is usually further away from the sound source) needs to be delayed by a few milliseconds. Some recorders can do this. Premiere can't do it from what I'm aware of.
It's phase problem you can just invert the phase on one of sources.
@taran You have literally saved six months of studying. I thank you for it. This is the video I always refer back to whenever I get into a jam. I have no idea, how many times I have watched this video of yours, it's literally sitting as a shortcut on my desktop. I do understand that I edit in DaVinci Resolve, being poor and all, but, your reference material is what helps me to exactly find out how to go about solving the problems. I am however, sorry to say, that I don't think I have watched the entire video in one sitting. Come on, it's over 4 hours long. I normally skip to the section I need.
I know this is an extremely long essay type of a comment, but the comment by Scoobie Cub, kinda got to me.
