Like this comment if you want Mariah back some time and leave your questions you'd like her to answer.
She's genuinely my favorite member of MKBHD's studio. It's always fun when she pops up in a video
2nd'd
Totally agree
The video of her and Ellis fixing the phone is so great!
Agreed
She has grown on me. Her personality is hard to adjust to since she is so like unpersonable. She has grown. I take it to being camera shy and she gives a condensing regular face lol. However a lot of the nicest people are like that.
I got here from Mariah insta ✌🏼
That Waveform podcast place 👌🏼
So much respect for Mariah standing strong with the work life balance and leaving work at work but still being an amazing team player!
Finally.. more of mariah..❤
Dude Mariah got a solo interview
Let’s goooo 🔥
1. That's such a greaaaaat Thumbnail man, spot on
2. Just the idea of interviewing Mariah is awesome, let alone the fact that you got it. So nice you did this!
3. You’re a great interviewer and creator. Keep it up with this content.
4. Mariah is so nice. Very clever, smart, chill and cool... I feel like she should have her own channel actually.
Love that she has a strict 9-5 schedule. I have the same thing and believe it or not it’s optimized my output and has done wonders for my overall health.
I really like Mariah. Cool to see her at MKBHD. Great interview!
This was such a cool interview to watch.As a woman myself its great to see one on the MKBHD team doing so well.Everytime I see you on the podast or in a video I smile inside.
“Sleep and drink water” - when I finally embraced that my editing life got better. When your mind loses the edge and you get tired, editing is pointless. Taking a break is probably the most important part of the process.
I've being waiting for this podcast for a long time. Thanks Tony!
Killer interview. Mariah rules - the studio CES episode settled it. Thank you!
31:45 is gold. Pretty motivational.
I make electronics, including some writing drivers or designing models to house/mount the parts. Sometimes I'll spend what feels like a lifetime getting a circuit or chip to work well in my product, only to realize it "doesn't make sense" or "something is off" and its always 💔 I want to reshape this feeling into an appreciation for finding a simpler solution, or making the product better by using something faster/more efficient/more accurate.
The amount of distraction is crippling. The further you are from people who can give you feedback, or look at something and recognize it as dumb, the harder it is to stay focused. Not being able to take that criticism means you should be making that thing for yourself. But if you love something you made, or you're making something you love, ignore the first bit of criticism, because you might be an artist.
Mariah is awesome.
Great questions! So great to hear about the workflow process and also schedule of other editors.
This was great! Thanks guys!
Kind of surprised she said Final Cut has zero support for audio. I work for a media company that primarily used logic for everything and we use Final Cut solely because it plays so nicely with logic for audio. There are some great audio tools in Final Cut
Solid host, quality info exchanged. Thanks for putting this together!
Great interview. Always love Mariah taking center stage.
She is just too cool! Glad to hear more about her :)
That was a great interview! And nice to get some more detail filled in about the MKBHD team and collaboration. And Mariah seems delightfully down-to-earth. You gotta love that pitch in and get things done attitude!
I just want to say that this was a very valuable listen. I went through this whole video while I was cleaning the house & found all the inside stuff so cool especially the perspectives both of you offered. I cant wait to have the time to Watch this whole thing uninterrupted, I feel like I should be taking notes! Thanks again!
I am a bit of an older generation, but it's funny and interesting to see someone who treats editing just as a job. From my experience, back in the days when you worked on the computer, you also had to be some kind of nerd or geek; otherwise, you would not have ended up in this area.
Really great interview!
You’re a great interviewer, Tony. You ask good questions and you let them talk without interrupting.
Very interesting insights, thank you!
I love the workflow of this vid!
For motion graphics work, if the local graphics person can use Motion instead of AE, you'll be able to change a heap of things live on the timeline in FCP, way easier + more reliable than dynamic linking or MOGRTs. Or do the main animation in AE but add the text in Motion so it's editable? There are some nice workflows possible.
Mariah is really super cool, She can start CZcams channel!!
It's about the project, not about your feelings. That was a great quote
great interview!!!!
Great interview, Loved it!
Very cool insights into MKBHD post workflow! Mariah, thanks for sharing. Tony, very good, thoughtful questions. Kudos for that. More content like this, please.
AMAZING! Subbed!
Great interview and great interview questions!
Really great interview mate!
I am so glad you guys are switching to FCP, because I just started learning it ❤😊
good interview man
For a one person show like myself, especially, since I’m still a nano channel, I found this video absolutely fascinating! The whole idea of having someone else working for the channel, and doing editing is such a fascinating concept to think about. It’s amazing to me how some of these channels are so large, that they really areindustries unto themselves. Definitely amazing. Not something I really aspiring to, but it is neat to see.
Mariah is amazing!!!!!
this was such a great interview.
this was an interesting episode & learned a lot about the mkbhd channel
mkbhd inspired me to become a content creator and its awesome to see the awesome people like mariah that works with him!!
I found this interview so fascinating. I'd like to ask if she'd ever consider using Davinci Resolve.
This is a great interview and very insightful.
Very nice interview
Love to see more conversations with people working behind the scenes. Well done!
As a fellow podcaster I'd work on the overall flow and questions to keep it engaging.
Any ideas who you'll talk to next?
My favourite mind on the MKBHD team. Mariah is the linchpin of everything they make. The best idea means nothing if it isn't presented the way she does. Genuinely one of my heroes.
Nice podcasts, keep it up!
Like the Studio Team, all those guys do match very well as a team. Great interview, was great to hear her perspective 👍🏻
16:06 you can easily combine AE and FCP. When you overwrite your initial AE-export FCP will auto-relink to the new file.
Great Video!
File support & compatability is exactly why I stick with Premeire Pro.
The assets & effects I like to use are there in the program
I tried switching to DaVinci but being cut off from plugins & assets was an absolute no go for me
Great video 👍🏻
Here for.mariah
Mkbhd and Waveform Podcast are amazing.
You broke the mystery of Mariah!
Good interview. :)
Great interaction
How is editing the Colossus robot footage.
like I know it uses a Red camera do they just give you the final shot and you stick it in like any other shot or is it more complicated to work with than a normal shot?
also you went to CES are we going to see you at more events?
This is a very good interview
I love that you got to interview her, but it the way of editing out your replies to her answer makes it feels like a survey instead of an interview
Commenting to retweet this; it DOES feel like no back and forth, no banter like shows like Collin and Samir - would love to see more of this. More of your personality! Make them laugh so we can see their personalities as well
Nice!
Good for her.
🔥
Mariah is the realest in the game
"Please sleep and drink water"
Thanks Mariah :)
im curious as to her story on how she got hired with the mkbhd team. don't think i've heard an angle of that discussed
love her laptopskin and her vibe - she should have her own channel. its not difficult what marques does so 😂 by the way the reason editing used to be a woman space was because you needed a fine hand to edit real peaces of film.
THAT laptop skin is so incredible that I had to, no cap, rewind certain parts of the interview because I was focused on the skin design! Do you or anyone else know where it is from?
Where u get these info from
CZcams recommends good stuff.
What's the MIC name that Mariah is usign in this video? The one with the red accents. Can anyone tell me, please?
It's an RE27 but marques got it customized by debrand. It's originaly silver.
Nice vid
Would love to hear more about "zero support for audio in FCP"
bro your questions are top notch
Nice Video
Definitely want to know how they all handle notes?
the word editor made me click on this, thanks ❤
Bro, how did you get her to come?! Nice।
Me one minute into the video: wow she really has access to those crazy expensive cameras and microphones 😂
ngl, she looks like she's doing the interview of you
Lol that's fine with me.
I’m first here 🎉
Ask her what she makes bro!
Ummm… final cut has audio support
Nope
That light on the left is kind of distructing…kindly check on that
congrats rhodesa
This has been a WONDERFUL interview! Fantastic stuff, Tony. Mariah is awesome.
Mariah, like many video editors, zig. I'm going to zag by saying... video editing for CZcams videos should have no collaboration. I know it sounds crazy but hear me out.
If you, as the video editor, have no say or collaboration in the pre production or production, then the people who do those things should have no say in the post production. Supply the video editor with notes and what you expect and then let them bring your vision to life. When 2/5/10 people all come in with their feedback, all that happens is the video gets watered down. It goes from being a unified cohesive work of art into a designed-by-committee piece of content. Let the video editor breathe and own it.
collaboration is absolutely a must on bigger channels.. rule number 1 as an editor "learn to kill your darlings" if you think only your way is right in an edit it just means you haven't learned to kill your editor ego yet. The greatest things in life are made by many people. There is a reason movies/ music videos/ and even big youtube videos have end credits.
@@prolific_visual great points! 🤩
Geeat contact
funny enough my best edits are late night edits
This lady needs to see the sun for a sec.
[5060]
You guys kinda look alike 😅
21:45 that is one of the reasons why women are payed less sometimes :D ..
0:59 work FOR marques, not with
Nope
@@brentschmogbert why not? she is working for him.
She needs Resolve.
I don't want to be disrespectfull with Mariah, so I'm just going to say that I'd like to start a family with her.
bro were u blushing while making this video? Further, she say 9-5 but her eye say otherwise , as if no sleep. Nice video keep going, give a brief inside MKBHD work
Some people’s eyes just look like that. She is just wearing little to no makeup, and that might be why she looks different to you - since a lot of people wear makeup whenever they’re “on camera” or even irl.
But, I’m not caping for her or anything. I just believe what she’s saying as far as balance goes since she had no reason to not be transparent, especially when she’s aware that a lot of potentially up and coming artists are going to take her word as bible. And again, I definitely wasn’t scuffing things up with you.
Oh, she looks like she's 16, and then "I edit since 2008! 😅
