TRANSCRIPT
Nick Clason (00:02):
What is going down everybody? Welcome back. Another episode of the Hybrid Ministry Show. If, uh, you have not, um, if you've not gone back and seen the last one where I edited a full, uh, video down, then I want to encourage you to go back and check that out. That is what I would do for, um, editing a full video for YouTube. Once that's done, render out some thumbnails and some time codes and stuff like that. However, for, um, this episode, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna edit out three short form TikTok style videos. So I wanna make sure that you can see that. So I'm gonna be using the same premiere file. I'm just gonna resave it and make it vertical as opposed to horizontal. So I wanna show you how that goes down. Um, hey, don't forget, we are on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

Nick Clason (00:46):
Go subscribe all three places, check those things out and hit the show notes for transcripts and my free ebook. Um, tell you how to post a TikTok from scratch on your phone. This, however, is about posting a TikTok. Um, first saving it on, uh, in a video editing software. In particular, this one's Adobe Premier Pro. And then, um, saving those somewhere that you can repost them later. So, without any further ado, let's dive in. Check the sucker out. So, like I said in the last video, you would've seen, um, something like this. This is, um, me opening up the Adobe Premiere Pro file. Um, I don't think I need those, so I'm not gonna worry about those. All right, so here's the, the final. So the first thing I do,

Nick Clason (01:36):
Okay, you'll never be left

Nick Clason (01:38):
Out. All right, so the first thing that I do is I, um, file save as. Um, and I'm gonna save it as underscore social one. I do every social, I do a new one, um, just cuz I sometimes move around like backing tracks and audio and resync some things. This is more, this happens a lot more with my podcast than these, but I just try and do a different one every single time. Sometimes I forget, but the more that I I file save as the source file, the less chance for error. Um, and so I'm just gonna start here. Um, so now this is the source file. So now I can change the sequence settings. I'm going up here, sequence settings. Frame size is 1920 by 10 80. That is wide screen. I'm gonna change it to, um, up, up and down, whatever that's called. Verticals vertical video. So that's 10 80 by 1920 pixels, click. Okay. And then, okay, so now you'll see here in my preview I have it, um, uh, 10 80 by 1920. Problem is I need this video to be fully screened. So that's why I kind of change it every single time. So I'm gonna, um, zoom that in in a minute. But first I am going to, um, create a title track. So I'm gonna make it this one right here. In this

Nick Clason (02:52):
Video we're gonna talk about how, about how, how you, how you can get,

Nick Clason (03:01):
So I want to do it right there. So I clicked I how you go in. Um, and then right there I hit C to get my razor tool and then v to select that and get it outta here. Now one of the things I like to do is I like to open it with an animation. I feel like as people are scrolling, when they see an animation, it jars them and at least gets their attention at least a little bit

Nick Clason (03:22):
How you can get,

Nick Clason (03:24):
I'm going to need to zoom that in though, right? So it needs to be like that.

Nick Clason (03:28):
How you can get invited to every single party.

Nick Clason (03:34):
I'm gonna do c v, get rid of that, bring that in ever. I'm gonna make these quicker cuts, you'll

Nick Clason (03:42):
Never be left out again.

Nick Clason (03:44):
So where there's a gap there in the audio, how I'm clipping

Nick Clason (03:50):
This party started and find out.

Nick Clason (03:53):
So go back here and now I'm gonna just do some zoom. So that's at 1 94. I'm gonna zoom in even more to 2 27, 2 27 and then 2 27. So

Nick Clason (04:10):
How you can get invited to every single party ever. You'll never be left out again how this party started and find out.

Nick Clason (04:19):
All right, so, um, I also want to take my, uh, thumbnail, which I made in Photoshop. Um, I don't think I showed that on camera, but that's what I ended up making. So I'm gonna bring that in in the P S D and then since I have all those layers, I'm gonna animate those and this is gonna be like my announcement or like title sequence. So I always do one that just like explains what the video is. It's just like an announcement. Um, and so this is that one. This is me, you know, right here at the beginning. So I'm gonna go

Nick Clason (04:51):
How you can get invited to ev.

Nick Clason (04:56):
So I'm gonna have that come in at the same time and then I'm just gonna move it so it fits

Nick Clason (05:07):
How you can get invited to every single party ever.

Nick Clason (05:13):
I'm gonna do a sound effect as that comes in. I still have that sfx saved from earlier. If you don't have it, um, go find it. Um, wherever you have sound effects saved, um, go find it in your finder and then you can drop it right here in this bin. Since I did use that earlier in my long form video, it's already saved in here. Um, so that's one of the reasons too where I like to go back to the original file cuz all the things that I pulled in are already still there. So I'm gonna do I right there, o right here. I have a lot of other options, but I'm just gonna pick that one. Let's see how that sounds.

Nick Clason (05:49):
How you can get invited to every single party ever. You'll never be left out again. How

Nick Clason (05:58):
I feel like that needs to be

Nick Clason (06:00):
How let's get party start. Oh, how, let's get this party started and find out.

Nick Clason (06:08):
All right, so over here, um, in my shared file, I have created a graphic that I use for my enders. So it's in, uh, shared students social media, TikTok and reels. And then I think I have it in admin. And this is just where I push people to watch the full video on YouTube. So I'm gonna put that right here. I'm gonna let that bounce in, right? And I'm gonna get a, I'm gonna get a whoosh sound with it. Take just the audio there. Boom, put it right there. Yep,

Nick Clason (06:51):
Let's get party started.

Nick Clason (06:53):
I wanna make that a little later. Let's do it right here.

Nick Clason (06:57):
Party started. Find out

Nick Clason (07:00):
We let it linger a little bit past the talking. Make that oh for out and then I'm gonna go back in here into messages. Um, start the party and I'm gonna get the party music so that there's a little audio track with it. Um, is it necessary? No. Um, does it add to it? Maybe you can be the judge of that. Um, I'll just, I'm just gonna drop it in here. I'm gonna make it negative 25. So it's real low.

Nick Clason (07:27):
You can get invited to every single party.

Nick Clason (07:32):
Adjust. I'm gonna adjust these audios right here. So I'm just gonna highlight them all. Select, all right, click audio game. I'm gonna make it 15. So it should be pretty substantial difference how you

Nick Clason (07:42):
Can get invited to every single party ever. You'll never be left out again. How, let's get this party started and find out.

Nick Clason (07:52):
All right, the only thing is I lost my right there.

Nick Clason (07:56):
Start and find out.

Nick Clason (07:58):
All right. Now last thing is I wanna add captions. So I'm gonna go to window workspaces, captions and graphics. Um, here's where I transcribe it. So I'm gonna click, um, from captions to transcript. I'm gonna click transcribe. Uh, okay, I don't know what this is doing. This is new. Okay, so let's do transcript.

Nick Clason (08:37):
Oh,

Nick Clason (08:48):
All right, let's try it again. So this is just gonna take a minute. There used to be, this is an updated version. So like I said, I have a new computer in my last video. So there used to be an option to just transcribe the in and out portion so it wouldn't take quite as long. Uh, looks like it got it right here. All those right there. So I'm gonna click captions, click captions from transcript, click this dropdown arrow. I like to do single lines and then create captions. So

Nick Clason (09:37):
I do,

Nick Clason (09:37):
So there you see they right there. So I'm gonna go over here and highlight that one. Click command A to select all. And then I'm gonna go change all. So I'm going to, I like to do, uh, every one of my captions for students has been Babe New Pro. Um, I put it in the middle here, but then I do uh, bottom line text, um, take away the shadow and I want to give it a little background. So I'll give it a black background. I'm gonna make it a hundred percent a opaque and then I'm gonna give it some roundedness and some size. See, so it looks like that. Now problem is, it's still covering that. So I have two options. I can lower that. I can lower the texts. So I can do like this and then like top aligned or middle aligned, or I can move this, um, in, in affects controls. And so I think I might do that so my face isn't covered. Um, and then, but that still doesn't solve this problem. If I go there, yeah, if I go there, it's still a little bit. So I might still move this down, just ale and then over here and text command A.

Nick Clason (11:01):
Yeah, I'm just gonna leave it there in the middle. It's fine.

Nick Clason (11:04):
Oh, you can get invited to every single party ever. You'll never be left out again. How, let's get,

Nick Clason (11:13):
You just gotta go back in here and edit anything that didn't get picked up. So how, let's get this party started and find out, out

Nick Clason (11:22):
Again how, let's get party started and find out started and find out.

Nick Clason (11:30):
I'm going to cut it right there, back to V to select it. So now when my under slide comes in, it's gone. All right, so now I'm gonna click on sequence command M, make sure my format is set to H 2 64. That's for MP4 files. And now I'm gonna go back out here. Instead of putting it in messages, I'm gonna put it in TikTok and reels. 2023, start the party oh three Nick, oh one title and change it from, uh, entire source to in and out. So it's just gonna do that a little bit right there. Export, there's TikTok number one.

Nick Clason (12:20):
All right, sweet. Now I'm going to go file save as I'm gonna gimme social two, I'm gonna go back up here to window and get my effects panel back. Some switch from workspaces, from captions to effects. It's probably an easier way to do it, but I'm not gonna worry about it now. It autogenerated all these captions for me. That could be good, that could be bad as long as I keep the same order. I like to tell stories on TikTok as much as I can. So if this story right here can make sense, I'm gonna go with it.

Nick Clason (12:54):
Church, I, I used to work at one time, likes to be the person ever. Nobody.

Nick Clason (13:12):
All right, so these captions are messing me up. So honestly, I'm just gonna start this over. So no, I'm not gonna save that. Um, I'm gonna go back in here three premiere and pull this up. So now I'm going to just get myself a clean copy and all I gotta do is change the sequence settings, file, save as social. I'll just make this three. All right, sequin. Gotta click on sequence. Sequence settings. 10 80 by 1920. All right. Now back to my story. So I don't want these things here, okay? I don't need those things for TikTok

Nick Clason (14:00):
Ever. Whoop,

Nick Clason (14:08):
Cut V out. I'm gonna animate this in motion. Presets position in smooth bottom. Let's be

Nick Clason (14:17):
On

Nick Clason (14:18):
And I'm gonna zoom in, go over to effects controls, and I gotta cut the gaps.

Nick Clason (14:27):
Nobody, let's be honest, nobody ever likes to be the person left out. One time I moved away from a church that I used to work at

Nick Clason (14:54):
Just cutting out all these gaps. So C then V and then sliding over.

Nick Clason (14:59):
And at this church at this,

Nick Clason (15:04):
I don't need that big long. And

Nick Clason (15:09):
At this church I did retreats with an

Nick Clason (15:25):
So I'm gonna bring all of these photos over

Nick Clason (15:33):
Treats. What's another,

Nick Clason (15:36):
I just gotta zoom in.

Nick Clason (15:38):
A friend of mine down the road, he worked at a church. And so together our church would, our two churches would come together. We went on this fall retreat. And so before I moved, I was was one of the ones who went on the,

Nick Clason (16:08):
All right, let's go back here and shave out any fluff. I don't need whatever this is.

Nick Clason (16:14):
Our church would come to our two churches would churches. So together our church would come to our

Nick Clason (16:21):
Cut out that, so it's just this

Nick Clason (16:25):
Boat. He worked at a churches, our two churches would come together and we went on this fall retreat. And so before I moved, I was one of the ones who went on the retreat, helped plan it,

Nick Clason (16:42):
Speak,

Nick Clason (16:42):
Do all the things. And so every single fall we went to camp Fall retreat. And so

Nick Clason (16:49):
I'm gonna cut all that goal is to make it as short as possible. And

Nick Clason (16:52):
So every single fall we

Nick Clason (16:53):
Went to, I felt losing the story

Nick Clason (16:56):
CSA in Briston, Indiana. And we called the retreat, the Recharge retreat. And it was awesome. And it was awesome. It was awesome and the same place. And because I followed both my and it was awesome,

Nick Clason (17:23):
Roll

Nick Clason (17:23):
Around,

Nick Clason (17:26):
Same.

Nick Clason (17:27):
And it was awesome. I leave that church, I move on to another one, and that same weekend rolls around.

Nick Clason (17:33):
Gotta get that out of there. I could have left. It just chose not to the same place.

Nick Clason (17:39):
And because I follow both my old church and my buddy's church on Instagram, I see that they're both on a retreat.

Nick Clason (17:47):
And I

Nick Clason (17:47):
Was like, God, it's interesting both that church and this church are both on a retreat together at, but on the same

Nick Clason (17:54):
Weekend, probably gonna cut all this out. That's

Nick Clason (17:56):
Interesting. Wait,

Nick Clason (17:58):
It

Nick Clason (18:00):
Go wait.

Nick Clason (18:04):
And that same weekend rolls around.

Nick Clason (18:07):
Wait,

Nick Clason (18:17):
And it was awesome. I leave that church. I'm watching that same weekend roll around, wait in ton Indiana, hold on, hold on. They're together. And what I began to notice, hold on, was that these two churches came together and instead of calling it the Recharge retreat, they called it the Lifeline Retreat or something like that, that these two churches came together and instead of calling it the Recharge retreat, they called it the Lifeline Retreat or something like that. I don't remember, but I felt, so

Nick Clason (18:59):
This is why I wanna end on right

Nick Clason (19:00):
Lifeline retreat, but

Nick Clason (19:01):
I, I felt so left out, left, boom. And then I just wanna kind of leave a little cliff hangry. So I'm gonna go back over here. I'm gonna grab my ender screen. I'm gonna bring it in. It's gonna position in, right? I'm gonna get the sounder for it.

Nick Clason (19:31):
Same weekend.

Nick Clason (19:35):
So that's at 1 30 46. All right, so it's less than a minute. Um, YouTube shorts only allows a minute. So I always make my goal to be less than a minute. So transcript, get this outta here. I think that that's my in-out points. I just want the audio transcribed. I don't need all that transcribed. That might be all the little ones. Listen, you and I are learning this all together with the new transcription interface. In the meantime, Marvel at me in this old shirt. All right, so I don't want that. I want create new caption track there. So I need to get all these, I'm gonna do Babes New Pro. I'm gonna do another black. Actually, I'll do a white background with black text this time. I don't want shadow, I want background. And I'm just gonna put it right in the middle and then lower it down just a little bit beneath my face. And let's see how it looks.

Nick Clason (21:48):
Let's be honest. Nobody ever likes to be the person left out. One time I moved away from a church that I used to work at this church. I did retreats with another friend of mine down the road. He worked at a church and our two churches would come together and we went on this fall retreat. And so every single fall we went to a camp called Camp Tecu Tecumsah in Brookstown, Indiana. And we called the retreat the Recharge Retreat. And it was awesome. I leave that church, I move on to another one. And that same weekend rolls around. Hold on. Was that these two churches came together and instead of calling it the Recharge retreat, they called it the Lifeline Retreat, but I felt so left out.

Nick Clason (22:38):
I'm just gonna cut that right there. I'm gonna put my out there. I'm gonna come back over here, put my in, and then command M, switch it to H 2 6 4 TikTok, start the party. Boom. All right. And then one more. I like to do three week. I typically post my Title one on Sunday, um, and then I post the other two, um, on a Thursday and a Tuesday. So that's just kind of been my rhythm. Leaves some gaps in the calendar or in the TikTok posting schedule for some other things. So, all right, as this encodes, I am going to wrap up to the next one,

Nick Clason (23:37):
Actually. Um, I'm going to, you get the gist. Um, I will do the third one the exact same way. Uh, just realized I have a meeting in two minutes, so I'm gonna go ahead and wind this down. Um, I will, I will make the third one without you here. Um, but I hope that you found this helpful, um, in pre-recording and then making TikTok in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Photoshop. So, sounds helpful. Leave a like, subscribe, rating, review, hit the notes, uh, show notes for transcripts or my free ebook. And, um, we'll talk soon. Don't forget, stay hybrid.
