Hi Guys, can I assume it's possible to edit YouTube videos that were created as part of a G+HOA? For example, once I complete my interview, I'd like to go back in and possibly add something to the beginning and/or end of the video. I may also look to cut out some parts, etc. Could anyone provide me some direction on the best way to do this? Thank you!

YouTube has a simple editor, bu they also allow you to combine multiple video clips into a mashup. You may need to have the videos being used set to the Creative Commons license. I have not done this, but others have done videos including portions of my videos.
ReplyDeleteYou can download your videos up to 720p and work with them in another editor from your video manager - drop down the menu that says "Edit" at the right of the video to find the "Download MP4" selection.
ReplyDeleteShafer Power As Terry Leigh Britton says, YT has a simple editor that you can use and it keeps the same URL, etc. You could also download and edit and then re-upload but then you loose viewcount and comments from original. I've never really edited a video but you might make a test one to practice using the YT Online editor to see is it does what you want.
ReplyDeleteHey Shafer Power you've got the best answers here - just want to say hi! Hope all is well with you and your lovely family. :)
ReplyDeleteShafer Power I've had good luck with the YouTube editor for simple edits, deleting parts of the video & adding annotations. However, I have learned that is easier and gives more control to download to edit for more complicated videos with music and adding my canva images. I can't remember the name of the editing software but it cost about $50 online.
ReplyDeleteI found the YouTube editor to be a challenge for my fully edited videos and 1-3 minute video clips. I also found it time consuming enough that I have been really grateful to work with an intern video editor who had editing experience but not with online videos. We have been learning the ropes together. She was a former student of mine so it has been great to stay connected through building this skill :-)
Terry Leigh Britton Have you ever had the experience where it won't let you download a video from your channel?
ReplyDeleteThis just happened to me for the first time. I am wondering if it's because there was some copyrighted music in the background that I didn't notice, and YT want able to automatically fix it. I've deleted the music and uploaded the video again. Not sure if YouTube will do another review.
Any ideas for next steps so I can download?
TIA
Terry Leigh Britton Thank you - I hadn't even thought of plug ins. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! I am going to play with the YT editor to see what I can do with it. As for downloading it and using a different editor....couldn't you do this before you make it public so it wouldn't affect your comments and viewing numbers?
ReplyDeleteShafer Power Please keep in mind that, using YouTube Editor, you may remove (trim) parts of your video, but not add, without losing the original URL. You can remove all you like and keep that original URL. There's some value in retaining the URL.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chad LaFarge. So if I want to add an intro video and closing video (for branding purposes) I'll lose the original URL? What is the value in retaining the URL if I'm not making it public until the editing has been completed?
ReplyDeleteIf not using the URL in PR leading up to the event, then there's no loss in losing that URL. You could, however, use "WireCast for YouTube" or "XSplit" (along with either software or hardware mixer) to insert your already-existing video intro, Shafer Power
ReplyDeleteChad LaFarge Thank you for joining our community. Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWait ... Chad LaFarge joined us? Thank you sir - gonna love having you here. Doing a dance Andrew Hatchett!
ReplyDeleteSweet. thanks Chad LaFarge! I actually use G+HOA to do 1x1 interviews (my kids and I interview people) and then we post it later on our blog. It would be fun to get to the point where we do live interviews....maybe that'll be the next step. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Chad LaFarge, I don't want to wear out my welcome here but I wanted to clarify one of your responses. Are you suggesting I could use "WireCast for YouTube" or "XSplit" if I wanted to add an Opener and Intro to my video like the one they've done in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkA4gzR3K2A?
ReplyDeleteI started drilling down on WireCast and XSplit and didn't feel like I was on the right track. As a reminder, I'm doing 1x1 interviews using G+HOA and you can see an example here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYA4tjbD8Lo. Thanks Chad!
Shafer Power Both WireCast and XSplit will allow you to add a Media file as a source. If you have your intro video on the machine you use to Host, Load that video as a source, and select that course as you open the Hangout. If using WireCast, make sure to select "WireCast Virtual Microphone" for the Hangout Microphone. If using XSplit, you'll need to route the Xsplit output through a Mixer (either software or hardware) and bring it back into a Mic selection in Hangouts.
ReplyDeleteInitially, I'd say WireCast is the easiest (and free) option to start. Craig Long has been using it for some time and has done a few samples on his YouTube channel.
Hope this helps!
Bam! I'll keep working on it Chad LaFarge and am checking out Chad's work as well. Thank you!

If you use Wirecast you will have to keep it running for the entire broadcast because I believe it's not easy to switch Hangouts sources in the middle of a broadcast. You open your camera, microphone, videos, lower thirds, chromakey, etc. in Wirecast. You may get high CPU with all this stuff running at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terry Leigh Britton and Craig Long. This is starting to feel a little overwhelming. I think I'd like to start as simple as possible and go from there. I'll check back after I read about some of these options.
