✍️TRANSCRIPT

00:00:00:00 - 00:00:28:05
Nick Clason
If you're a youth pastor or church ministry leader of any sort looking to reach the 95% of teenagers who declared, spend time on YouTube, according to a Pew Research study that was done recently. And you're following everything that I've laid out in the playlist linked right here. You have pre shot a video. You have edited a video and now you are getting ready to then have posted the video to YouTube.

00:00:28:07 - 00:00:42:00
Nick Clason
Well, those are the first three steps that now now that you've taken those steps right you've taken the time to upload that video to YouTube. How do you get the word out about the fact that you have a video now on YouTube?

00:00:42:00 - 00:00:49:21
Nick Clason
Well, one of my favorite features embedded into YouTube is the shorts tab. It's very similar to TikTok.

00:00:49:21 - 00:01:19:01
Nick Clason
It's a discovery based short form vertical video category kind of algorithm. And it's it's kind of taken social media by storm. I'm curious what what your choice would be because all social medias have it now, right? Like maybe like me, I'm a millennial and a lot of millennials sort of settled in on Instagram. If you're an Instagram person, go ahead and give us a like, maybe some of you, you prefer TikTok and TikTok is sort of your social media of choice.

00:01:19:01 - 00:01:31:26
Nick Clason
Go ahead then and give us a subscribe if that's you. And, well, if you're YouTube itself and you need to turn the bell on because you definitely don't want to miss any more videos in the playlist that we're in right now. Titled

00:01:31:26 - 00:01:43:25
Nick Clason
YouTube for Youth Ministry. But YouTube shorts is a great way, along with some of those other social media platforms Facebook, even Instagram and TikTok to get the word out and to be discovered.

00:01:43:25 - 00:02:08:17
Nick Clason
And so in this video, I'm going to share with you my strategy for growing a YouTube channel 100% organically with zero paid reach. My viral Shorts five part framework and give you the not one, but two mind-blowing tools to help you do it all. Welcome to the Hybrid Ministry Show. You know, I haven't had a chance to meet yet.

00:02:08:18 - 00:02:25:27
Nick Clason
My name is Nick Clason and I right now I'm employed as a youth pastor in DFW, Dallas Fort Worth area, and I started at the current job in which I'm at now in September of 2022 and in January of 2023.

00:02:25:27 - 00:02:35:16
Nick Clason
So if you do some quick math, you'll realize there's just four months, before in January of 2023 when our church made a name change.

00:02:35:16 - 00:02:58:23
Nick Clason
And so that's significant because when I started in September of 2022, our student ministry did not have a YouTube account. And furthermore, I did not launch the YouTube account because of the name change coming in January. And so I held off, which gave us which gives us very clear kind of markers and timelines and stuff like that. So

00:02:58:23 - 00:03:02:26
Nick Clason
hold off did not start the channel until January and didn't start posting until January.

00:03:02:26 - 00:03:27:00
Nick Clason
And so as I'm looking right now, I'm typing it into my computer right in front of me right now, Cross Creek students on YouTube has 530 subscribers in just over a year. It's now March 20th when I'm recording this. And so we're looking at a year, and about three soon to be four months, 530 subscribers. Now, that's nothing to write home about.

00:03:27:00 - 00:03:46:24
Nick Clason
There are certain channels that have far more you know, subscribers and engagement than than we do. But my guess would be if I were to ask you, like, hey, do you want to get the word out? Some of your students, do you want to get the word out? Some of the parents in your ministry, and you want to get the word out to just some other people about the message of hope found in the gospel through YouTube?

00:03:46:24 - 00:04:07:05
Nick Clason
You would probably say yes and say, hey, would you be okay? 530 subscribers, which, by the way, is also continually growing. And so, in that time we have pre filmed our videos. I did it all off of my cell phone, which is actually what I'm recording on right now as well. and so it looked videos looked very

00:04:07:05 - 00:04:18:09
Nick Clason
similar to this with, you know, maybe different set, different locations in our church and one of our offices behind us filmed all the videos off of my cell phone for the first about a year.

00:04:18:11 - 00:04:28:28
Nick Clason
got all my gear for about under $100, got a little tripod, some lighting, some microphones, and that is actually linked down below in our gear for under $100. And

00:04:28:28 - 00:04:43:17
Nick Clason
then if and or when you are ready to upgrade to a little bit nicer camera in a little bit, it's a little bit easier to not do it off of a cell phone, when you do it off a camera, because it doesn't, eat up your cell phone space, you can use SD cards and stuff like that.

00:04:43:20 - 00:04:57:25
Nick Clason
I recommend the Sony Zv-e10 that is also linked down below, and it is about $600-$700. $600. And then if you get a good lens with it's another, you know, 100 bucks or whatever. So in the $700 ballpark,

00:04:57:25 - 00:05:04:13
Nick Clason
which is not a ton, but maybe you're not ready to do that. And that's why I would just stick with the under $100 thing.

00:05:04:13 - 00:05:12:24
Nick Clason
And then once you've shot the video and you're staring down at a video editing screen, you might be like, I don't even know what to do.

00:05:12:24 - 00:05:27:01
Nick Clason
Right now, I'm offering a limited time offer for anyone who's interested in my video editing services. and I will actually edit your videos for free. I'm just simply trying to get the ball rolling on this for me.

00:05:27:01 - 00:05:52:21
Nick Clason
And so I'm asking for you to, to shoot it pre film sent me out, edit it professionally and get it ready for you for YouTube. And maybe, as I say, that you're sitting here thinking like, I'm not ready for that. Like I don't I don't have the infrastructure for that. Well, then I can help you implement a hybrid strategy through some one on one coaching sessions as well.

00:05:52:23 - 00:06:19:03
Nick Clason
Those are also being offered right now. Limited time for free. All you gotta do is hit the contact tab down below in the show notes. Let me know. Reach out if I have space available still in my time and in my schedule, then I'd be happy to add you to something like that. Now, when you are posting on social media, when you are using short TikToks, reels on Instagram, Reels on

00:06:19:03 - 00:06:25:12
Nick Clason
Facebook, there are five kind of key categories and key factors, and I like to call it my viral Reels framework.

00:06:25:12 - 00:06:49:21
Nick Clason
It's five parts. but really it's isn't as formulaic as much as it is like when you're posting, these are the five things you need to attempt to try to make happen. So viral reel framework, category item number one is attention. Attention is everything. On social media. You know that there are certain reels that capture your attention better.

00:06:49:26 - 00:07:11:01
Nick Clason
And then there are other reels that are just plain, flat out boring. And think about your own viewing habits on social media. When you're on there, you're not necessarily on there to just, be informed, right? Like in some cases, you might be you might be on there doing a little bit of research. And the information is also inspirational.

00:07:11:01 - 00:07:36:20
Nick Clason
And so therefore you do like gather and capture some information. That's great. But whatever, whatever causes you to stop scrolling and hover over a video or hover over a post for a while, that's going to be the key. And the same is true with you, and the same is going to be true for all of your youth ministry, social media, your, goal is to get someone to stop and give you their attention.

00:07:36:20 - 00:08:05:05
Nick Clason
And so the better that you do, stopping and grabbing their attention, the better. So that could be, you know, opening the the reel with a zoom in or a sound effect or some sort of, like, surprising thing, or someone running at the camera or, I mean, there are all kinds of different ways to sort of grab and capture someone's attention, but if you don't have their attention, they're going to continue on scrolling as you know, as you probably use as well.

00:08:05:11 - 00:08:35:09
Nick Clason
Boom boom, boom boom boom. And now you're seven reels back and no one gave you any more time of day. So be thinking about how can you capture someone's attention. One good way I like to do that is, to give them context. And so that's my second, that's my second framework piece, is that if you are pre filming your messages and if you are dropping in little clips from your messages, give them the the more fuller embodied context of what you're talking about

00:08:35:09 - 00:08:40:04
Nick Clason
so that it's not just a soundbite, but they understand what

00:08:40:04 - 00:08:44:25
Nick Clason
what this clip is referencing and where it's coming from and what you're referring to.

00:08:44:25 - 00:09:13:11
Nick Clason
So you can accomplish that with like an AI voice, or you can accomplish that with just some text on screen. And then that way, boom. As I scroll there, it's got a little text on screen. And if you want to make that context, make that hook, whatever it is, make it a little bit interesting, give it a little bit of intrigue, like the four surprising ways that you can connect with God or one thing that makes Jesus mad, or seven ideas or, you know, whatever the case may be like.

00:09:13:14 - 00:09:34:26
Nick Clason
But give them some context, because if you are going to be giving them a real from a longer form clip, you're going to want to give them some background so they know what you're talking about when they enter into it. And so both that text on screen and or I voice is hopefully getting their attention, but also filling in and giving them context.

00:09:34:28 - 00:10:12:17
Nick Clason
And whoever you are, youth pastor, social media person, just person on YouTube, person on the internet, whoever is listening to this, please all, no matter what you do, put captions on your videos. That is framework thing number three. If you don't have captions, you will lose out on a segment of your audience. A wide majority of people watch, reels, watch TikToks, watch shorts in places where they can't have their headphones in in order to have their audio turned on, or you're just like, mean your wife is asleep next to you in bed and you are watching reels.

00:10:12:17 - 00:10:33:02
Nick Clason
But you I don't watch it if it doesn't have captions on it. Why? Because she's asleep and I'm not turning my sound on. So put captions on your videos so that anyone and everyone can access them. Number four, you need to have some sort of relevant hook. Now, if you're just pulling out clips from YouTube, that's going to be trickier, right?

00:10:33:02 - 00:11:09:06
Nick Clason
Because you're not speaking in such a way that has a relevant hook. And maybe as you begin to start speaking more and more direct camera, you may just weave in naturally. Things like this is one of the seven most surprising things about following Jesus, or whatever the case may be. But if you're not natural at that because it's not a natural skill to do, nor a thing that's easy to figure out, then as you are editing it and or as you, start to clip it up for social, that's where the context is important, because the context piece can actually serve as a little bit of your hook, and then may also serve as a

00:11:09:06 - 00:11:38:05
Nick Clason
way to kind of garner and gather and capture your viewers attention. And then the fifth one is sound effects. If you have editing ability and you're able to offer your reel with some sound effects, sound effects make a big deal. You can do animated text, you can do things on screen. I have some presets down below. If you're using a thing like Adobe Premiere Pro, I got some some presets that'll make you look like a professional, but if you can pair it with some sound effects.

00:11:38:12 - 00:11:41:21
Nick Clason
Now that right there, my friend, that's next level.

00:11:41:21 - 00:11:59:13
Nick Clason
So I get it. You're like, dude, okay, cool. Yeah, let me get started right on that with attention grabbing context and captions and some relevant hooks and sound effects. did you know me? Youth pastor? Did you know that I have other things I have to do in my job?

00:11:59:14 - 00:12:21:10
Nick Clason
Yeah, I do, I look, I do mean, and it's that's the thing 95% of teenagers find themselves on YouTube. We need to find a way to get over that. We need to prioritize putting ourselves over there. Which is why I want to start editing videos for youth pastors to help them out. I want to help take some of that burden, some of that load off of their plate when they don't have the time to do it.

00:12:21:10 - 00:12:28:23
Nick Clason
But some of that stuff, it just does. It comes a little bit at a cost, either a time cost or a financial cost. So this is what I want

00:12:28:23 - 00:12:47:01
Nick Clason
to offer for you two mind. Mind blowing, life changing, life changing maybe. Resources. The first one, definitely not life changing because I created it, but it is my 100% completely free e-book, and I'm actually thinking about changing the name of it to my fully fleshed out hybrid strategy.

00:12:47:04 - 00:13:13:25
Nick Clason
Either way, this is a framework for not only how to build, edit, capture, and post done for you, but done for you ideas. But things that are or are relevant and contextual and personal. You, your students, your leaders. You are the heroes. You are the people on these social platforms. I'm telling you to use social media to help get the word out.

00:13:13:28 - 00:13:33:25
Nick Clason
Yes, for your YouTube video, but also just for additional content above and beyond that. And my e-book will detail that in outline. How to do all of it, not only how to film it, but also how to edit it and how to schedule it so that you are staying relevant and current with stuff that is going on. So go ahead and check that out.

00:13:34:02 - 00:13:55:03
Nick Clason
But then my second tool that I want to let you know about is that in all the things we're talking about, relevant hooks, text on screen, like all these types of things, you can use opus clip. It's free. It's free for a time up to a certain number of credits. And then if you want to add some more credits to the cost, you can go ahead and do it.

00:13:55:03 - 00:14:16:20
Nick Clason
I think, I got it when I was still kind of in beta, but I paid like a hundred and like $12 or something like that for the year. and like, you see right here, it's for 31 hours and five minutes. what happens is like our videos are, you know, 10 to 15 minutes long. And so I calculated that out and it's enough for a year.

00:14:16:20 - 00:14:37:24
Nick Clason
It's more than enough for a year. So I can use it for some other things too. We film the playlist and I use it for some of those as well. But what you do is you, you drop either a YouTube link in here or a zoom link, or just the actual full file. and then when you're in it once, it's already like kind of process it through whatever, it creates it and puts it down here and all these different projects.

00:14:37:29 - 00:14:59:12
Nick Clason
So you see, these are all old projects that I've used before in the past. And so in this particular one of I'm just going to click on it. You'll notice it scroll all the way down to the bottom. That has given me 15 different shorts that I can use, 15 different videos that are clipped up vertically based with captions, all the things we talked about and that you can use.

00:14:59:14 - 00:15:18:12
Nick Clason
then once it gives it, once it gives it to you, it it ranks it with some of these things. I don't really use those. I write my own headlines and taglines, but you can use that if you want. you can download it, in Adobe Premiere Pro. You can download it in, in high definition. or you can go in here and edit it, which I recommend doing.

00:15:18:14 - 00:15:33:28
Nick Clason
it'll, it has a full video transcribe. But so in this particular clip it has it transcribed right here. And so you can select the start spot like if you like I don't want it to turn the word Android or you want to send the word student. You can just change it to just select the start spot there.

00:15:34:00 - 00:15:49:14
Nick Clason
and then you can have it end in a different spot. you look over here, you see how long it is. A YouTube short needs to be under a minutes of. It's greater than a minute. You need to find places to shave it down. then over here in design, I like to generate B-Roll with some stock footage.

00:15:49:20 - 00:16:05:08
Nick Clason
And so all these little spots are. Here are places that the video decides to generate some B-roll. So this one is generating B-roll based off of the word process. And so if I don't like the word process right there, or if I don't like the video that they chose for the word process, I can research the word process.

00:16:05:11 - 00:16:25:23
Nick Clason
And, these ones right here are Shutterstock images, which I don't pay for, so I can't use. But these other ones right here without a Shutterstock watermark are, from pexels.com, which are free. So the free for me, they would be free for you to use. and then if I'm like, I don't like any of those words, I can research a new word and just say, like, I don't know, computers.

00:16:25:26 - 00:16:40:29
Nick Clason
and then search that, and I can see what kind of words I'm going to get for computers, and then I can just swap it out right there. And now it goes from my iPad thing to this little computer based thing, when I'm done with it. by the way, it also has, auto emojis over here.

00:16:40:29 - 00:16:58:14
Nick Clason
So like, as it, as it's talking, you might see moments where emojis pop up on screen just like that. just as another, like, visual stimulant on the screen. you can choose your caption style. You can also create your own brand kind of template. I'll show you how to do that here in just a minute. Caption lines per page.

00:16:58:14 - 00:17:16:29
Nick Clason
Three lines or one line. How do you want the captions to transition with the bounce and underline box? you can select your underline color. You can figure out where you want your captions to go. You can change fonts, all these types of things font, color, font stroke, font shadow, keyword highlighter and then screen overlay. So let me show you that to so.

00:17:16:29 - 00:17:34:19
Nick Clason
So when you're done you can click click save and compile. And I'll just put right here. It'll need a minute to process. And then boom you're done. And you're downloading. if you want to create a brand template, which is what I like to do, in my brand template, I have created this little guy right here as a watermark on the top of my video.

00:17:34:21 - 00:17:58:24
Nick Clason
on our student Mr.. Have something similar, which points people back to our YouTube channel. Now, when you're on YouTube and uploading it to shorts, you can click related video. And on shorts you can actually link your YouTube video, which is my favorite feature of all. But if I'm using this over on TikTok, Instagram or Facebook, I use this little watermark as sort of my way to like, encourage them to go check us out on YouTube.

00:17:58:24 - 00:18:19:04
Nick Clason
But, here here are my caption preferences. Here is my brand kind of template. and I have it all saved. I have it all. Whatever. I made this little I made this little watermark thing, and then this is where I uploaded it. Right here. I just built this in, like, a thing, like Photoshop with a clear background, and I uploaded it in,

00:18:19:06 - 00:18:36:18
Nick Clason
And then I saved it. And so this is my pre preset template number one. But I could go to preset template number two. And I could create a whole different look, a whole different flow a whole different feel. Now when I'm done I download them all. I save them in a folder and I post them, I save them in a folder to be posted later.

00:18:36:18 - 00:18:57:27
Nick Clason
And so you can use Opus clip, you can use my e-book, both of which to help you level up your social media game and get the word out. Once you've shot your video, once you've edited your video, and now it will help you create in a matter of minutes, social media content for you and for your youth.

00:18:57:27 - 00:19:25:09
Nick Clason
Ministry, But. Now, now you've done all these things. Okay, now it's ready to go on YouTube and post like you're going to click the plus button and create. And then it's going to give you the YouTube dialog box. So you have to put in titles and descriptions and tags. One the world you even post on there. I'm glad you asked, because we're actually going to be unpacking that fully in the next video, which is linked right here on screen.

00:19:25:16 - 00:19:35:17
Nick Clason
We're helping you take digital discipleship and make it easy. And don't forget and as always, stay hybrid.

✍️TRANSCRIPT
00:00:00:00 - 00:00:30:01
Nick Clason
Youth pastors My guess is that you would like to be there for hurting and struggling teenagers and be able to ultimately point them to Jesus. What if I told you that you could show up in a place where 95% of them have been will go or plan to go? You would probably do whatever it took to find your way there and help point those kids

00:00:30:04 - 00:00:55:19
Nick Clason
to Jesus, what if I also told you that that place was YouTube? Well, it's true. According to Pew Research, 95% of teens are on or have been on YouTube. Here's the good news. We are currently in the middle of a playlist linked right here at the top of the video about YouTube for Youth Ministries, Everything you need to know from the philosophy to the tactile, getting it done and getting it posted.

00:00:55:19 - 00:01:26:04
Nick Clason
And today we're talking about the dreaded editing, editing of videos like Subscribe and Turn On the Bell, because I want to help you show up where 95% of your teenagers are. And I'm doing it on YouTube 100% completely for free in this video. I want to explore the debate of livestream versus pre shooting and pre filming. Your messages how you as a youth pastor can grow as a video editor and designer.

00:01:26:06 - 00:01:53:15
Nick Clason
We're also going to talk about how you can get professional YouTube videos edited for completely free by somebody else. Sound too good to be true? Stick around to find out. So should we livestream our services and post them online or should we pre film our messages? Well, for me, as a youth pastor, that was a debate that I had when I started at the church that I'm working at right now.

00:01:53:17 - 00:02:16:22
Nick Clason
Started here in September of 2022. And I wanted because we were a in-person church, I wanted to livestream our messages. I wanted to livestream our messages mostly so that I could take the livestream long form video, clip it up into shorts and post it on social media throughout the week. I didn't want to do double work, and pre filming feels a little bit like double work.

00:02:16:22 - 00:02:46:20
Nick Clason
And so eventually I landed on pre filming our messages. Not from a strategy standpoint, but honestly from a needs standpoint. We weren't going to retrofit or make the the room have the accommodations to livestream. We weren't going to put the budget resources behind livestreaming our services. And frankly, I didn't even want to livestream as much as I just wanted to live capture the message via video more than just a cell phone on a tripod in the back of the room, on the sound booth.

00:02:46:21 - 00:03:09:20
Nick Clason
And so we started pre filming our messages out of necessity. But one of the things that I noticed and have discovered and come to now, so that was out of necessity, but now out of preference, I would say I will probably forever and always pre film my messages because think about it when you're on YouTube, this is often what us as churches are going up against this on screen.

00:03:09:20 - 00:03:47:29
Nick Clason
If you're not watching, if you're just listening, you can head to the link in the show notes, watch the YouTube video. Mr. Beast and his thumbnail and his 15 minute YouTube video is a type of content that most people are going on to YouTube to watch in an entertaining sort of manner, entertaining sort of fashion. Meanwhile, churches are an hour and 37 minute service with all of the pre-roll announcements and all of their worship services and songs and pastor and announcement and everything is dropped on YouTube without any sort of custom work on a thumbnail or titling or description.

00:03:48:00 - 00:04:20:08
Nick Clason
So all the the, the livestream with the way that we're approaching livestream on the back end, setting it up uploading, and we're going to get into all of that in this playlist as well. So make sure that you are subscribed, but all of that type of stuff matters as well, because as I mentioned in our most recent video, when a student is hurting, you want to be able for them to you want to be able to send them content and videos and resources and things that can help them make sense of the pain that they're experiencing.

00:04:20:11 - 00:04:39:09
Nick Clason
But you also want people to find it. So maybe a student you don't know or student doesn't feel comfortable, whatever the case might be coming to you and asking you that they need help, but you want them to stumble on your YouTube channel and you want them to be able to make sense of the pain and the suffering that they're that they're facing.

00:04:39:09 - 00:05:05:16
Nick Clason
And they're not going to be able to find that. If you have, like your youth group. March 13th, 2024 service. Like they don't know that the topic was on, you know, the problem of evil and how to attach yourself to Jesus when you're going through hard times. So actually, let me do this. This is if you're watching and you're going to probably want to watch this part or at least go back and check it out.

00:05:05:19 - 00:05:20:01
Nick Clason
If you're watching this, right here is a video that I have shot and have done no editing to, now, you can do that and you could post that to YouTube. And so let me just show you what the first like 10 seconds of this video look like.

00:05:20:01 - 00:05:30:13
Nick Clason
this video, we're going to explore the value of the final word. Final words are meaningful, right? Whether they're good or whether they're bad. Think about it.

00:05:30:13 - 00:05:36:26
Nick Clason
All right. And then let me show you what an edited version of this video looks like.

00:05:36:27 - 00:05:42:03
Nick Clason
Same video, same content, but now there's editing on top of it. Let's check it out.

00:05:42:03 - 00:05:49:21
Nick Clason
video, we're going to explore the value of the final word. Final words are meaningful, right? Whether they're good or

00:05:49:21 - 00:05:51:13
Nick Clason
whether they're bad. Think about it. If you've

00:05:51:13 - 00:06:08:19
Nick Clason
You see. And when we simply just drop our our non edited, unfiltered teaching on YouTube, the content can still be delivered and it can still get to the end user. Correct. Is it optimized and is it optimal?

00:06:08:19 - 00:06:17:19
Nick Clason
Right. Like like you wouldn't show up to an expensive White House gala dressed as if you're going to a football game?

00:06:17:26 - 00:06:42:14
Nick Clason
Right. And a lot of times that's what we as churches are doing on YouTube. And and YouTube is a great platform to capture and even post videos. But a lot of times we don't play the part where we don't go into it with the expectation or ability of of attaching ourselves to the appropriate, culturally appropriate kind of moment out there.

00:06:42:14 - 00:07:05:02
Nick Clason
And that's what's going on when we're just simply livestreaming and just dropping the live stream without any sort of other work or editing or titling or tags or a thumbnail or anything on to YouTube. And so you wouldn't go to a gala dressed like you're going to a football game. So don't just drop your on edited unfiltered services on YouTube, right?

00:07:05:03 - 00:07:24:15
Nick Clason
Because once you pre film your message once you capture your teaching somehow, someway on phone on a on a more expensive camera linked down below Sony ZVE-10 the camera that I recommend if you do want to go to the next level or if you want to start using your phone on YouTube, all of that is laid out 100% completely free e-book.

00:07:24:22 - 00:07:58:05
Nick Clason
But once you start posting those things, right, once you start crafting and capturing your messages, you can then off of that dovetail into more of a robust and holistic social media strategy for youth ministries and for churches, one that has your voice and your face and your messaging woven all throughout your social media and your leaders and your students on camera.

00:07:58:07 - 00:08:23:28
Nick Clason
So what platforms can you use to edit? I mean, very simply, if you are looking for a budget or more value engineered experience, there are two platforms that I recommend that are Free CapCut is a web based editor, and if as long as TikTok doesn't get banned, hopefully CapCut will be safe. CapCut and TikTok

00:08:23:29 - 00:08:45:20
Nick Clason
are partners or CapCut was even created by TikTok.. And so it's definitely optimized for short form vertical based video which by the way, side note is good for your short form, vertical based video, but you can also drop in a full length teaching and you can do and have edits and animations and lower thirds and text on screen.

00:08:45:23 - 00:09:02:21
Nick Clason
And so it's web based and so you don't have to download anything like new to your device or your computer or your program. So that might work. Well, if you have a really basic computer and don't have a lot of hard drive space, memory or RAM available to you, the next kind of layer up, I guess I would say, is Da Vinci Resolve.

00:09:02:21 - 00:09:29:15
Nick Clason
They do have a free version of it as well as, of course, as most things do, a paid sort of tier. Beyond that, full disclosure, I have never edited a full length video in cap cut, nor have I ever even opened Da Vinci Resolve because what I use and I'm not trying to sound boujee or anything like that, but I do use Adobe Premiere Pro out of the Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Suite.

00:09:29:18 - 00:09:55:09
Nick Clason
It is probably one of the more expensive options, but the good news is that our church has a creative cloud license and so I'm able to be added in to that. And so you may check and see if as a youth pastor, your church is willing to to dig deep and spring for a more powerful program. And and all I'll say is this is while CapCut is a great free editing tool and DaVinci Resolve, I've heard amazing things.

00:09:55:11 - 00:10:16:24
Nick Clason
You often get what you pay for or are willing to pay for. And so I can do just about anything. I have a vision for in Adobe Premiere Pro. And sometimes when you're using value or free software, you're really only going to get what you know, what you pay for an honorable mention. Of course, I also don't want to leave out Final Cut Pro.

00:10:16:26 - 00:10:40:21
Nick Clason
It's a favorite of many people. Again, I've never used it, but these are just different options, suggestions and things that you can check out. Now. The the thing right. The question at hand is if you're a youth pastor and you have no design, no editing skills, how do you grow as an editor? Is that even necessary? Well, let's talk about it.

00:10:40:24 - 00:11:06:12
Nick Clason
So how did you learn to ride a bike? Hopefully you learned how to ride a bike dropdown in the comments below when you learned how to ride a bike. But probably my guess is that you just did it a bunch. You practiced and in a lot of the same ways. Linked down below is my time management strategy. If you want to grow as an editor, create time time block for yourself.

00:11:06:12 - 00:11:32:00
Nick Clason
Tell yourself when you're going to learn this and then go learn it. I also have a link to below three different Adobe Photoshop in Adobe Premiere Pro. So if there is a platform that you do decide to go with editing videos, how to edit long form video, long form teaching videos, short form teaching videos and create graphics for them using Adobe Photoshop, all of that is available for you, but you simply just got to put in the work.

00:11:32:03 - 00:11:51:11
Nick Clason
Like we live in a microwave culture where we want a quick fix, quick answer, immediate results. Right now that looks great and is professional, but the God honest truth in all of this is like if we want to get better at something, we have to start investing in it. And so

00:11:51:11 - 00:11:55:22
Nick Clason
if editing your videos is important, then you should put the time in.

00:11:55:22 - 00:12:31:17
Nick Clason
Now, here's another little thing, and I have a limited time offer, very, very limited time offer. I have currently opened up three free spaces for you or anyone as a youth pastor to get a series edited by me completely for free. That info is going to be linked on the screen or down below, but I will do your video for free as I am trying to grow in my ability for editing as well as my offerings for youth pastors.

00:12:31:17 - 00:13:01:28
Nick Clason
And so if it's something that you're interested in, reach out to see if it's still available. If not, I do have a budget version of it as well. If those three free spaces are not available, but reach out to me because you might not be an editor and you may not have the time to learn it, but I would be more than willing and more than happy to help you take your editing to the next level and not not in like a coaching type of thing.

00:13:01:28 - 00:13:39:17
Nick Clason
Like, I'll just I'll do it for you. Like, I will take your videos, I will edit them, I will make them look professional, and then I will post them on YouTube for you, or at least show you how to post them. Because once you have edited long form videos, that is going to help you lay out, dish out and flesh out a full social media strategy where everything on your social media is focused on the message that you're teaching live in youth group that week, which is actually what we're going to talk about in the next video in this YouTube playlist linked right here on screen.

00:13:39:19 - 00:13:51:30
Nick Clason
I hope you watch that. I hope you check it out. And I hope that you continue to make digital discipleship easy, possible and accessible. As always, stay hybrid.

TRANSCRIPT
Nick Clason (00:02):
What is up everybody? Welcome back to another episode of Hybrid Ministry. My name is Nick. I am your host today drinking out of my work Cross Creek Students coffee mug. You gotta be on YouTube. See this?

Nick Clason (00:22):
Mm.

Nick Clason (00:23):
It's from a Keurig, so it's super mid. Anyway, uh, we are going to be rounding out our third and final, um, Adobe tutorial session. So once again, if you're listening, this is going to be a better one for you to watch. Um, all of that's uploaded to my YouTube. Oh, sorry about that. All that's uploaded to my YouTube channel. So hit the link in the show notes for that. Um, go subscribe, go light, go do all the things. Those things help us a lot. Um, all that being said, um, we have done a long form Adobe, uh, premiere Pro editing. We've done some short form video stuff. Um, and then finally we are gonna round out today with Adobe Photoshop. So I'm gonna make two graphics that I'm going to use in our student ministry pre-roll and I'll just wanna give you a step-by-step tutorial on how to do those.

Nick Clason (01:12):
Um, the benefit of using Photoshop and Adobe Premier Pro, in my estimation, I've never really used Final Cup Pro or any of the other ones, so I can't speak for those. But the benefit is that when you make a layer in Adobe Photoshop and you bring it into Adobe Premier Pro, you can animate it, you can move it around. And if you need to make adjustments and changes, you just need to go back to your original source file of Adobe Photoshop, change it, and it's changed. You don't have to render it out in a final form thing like A P N G. Um, but keeping it just in that Photoshop file will allow it to be, um, edited and used in Adobe Premiere Pro. So all that to be said, if you've not seen our other videos, go back and look. This video might actually be the best video to start with, like editing videos, one thing, but then animating layers and on top of it via Adobe Photoshop is gonna be what this one's all about.

Nick Clason (02:03):
And so if you don't have photo, a basic Photoshop skill yet, then maybe start here. Episode 56, go back to episode, uh, 53 and 54. Uh, in the meantime, 55 if you didn't know was our one year celebration. And so that was just kind of a rehash on what is hybrid, why are we passionate about it, and why do we keep doing it? So be sure to check all that stuff out. Finally, I got a couple freebies for you in the show notes, free ebook and free Adobe Premiere Pro, um, animations effects. So go grab either one of those and uh, leave us a like rating, review, subscribe, all the things. Thanks for hanging out. Let's jump in.

Nick Clason (02:45):
All right, so you are seeing my desktop. Now this is what it looks like if you open up Adobe Photoshop. It's gonna start with a screen that looks something like this. I'm gonna click here, new file. And we are going to make a graphic about our upcoming event called Space Jam. So the width that you want is 1920 by 10 80. If you're going wide screen, if you are going um, vertical, um, you're gonna want 10 80 by 1920. But we are going wide screen. These are your pixels, 1920 by 10 80. The resolution that you want is 72. Um, if you were gonna go for like a print piece, um, you want 300 and if you're gonna go for a print piece, you're gonna wanna switch it from RGB to C M Y K. Those are different color coding things. I don't know a ton about that, but I used to work with a guy who printed banners and that's what he told me.

Nick Clason (03:39):
So I'm gonna go with him. Um, shout out to Eber, Cincinnati, Ohio. Anyway, uh, RGB is uh, what you want for a screen and that's what we're gonna be doing these for. And uh, the rest of this stuff I am not that worried about. You can click into those. Those are just some advanced options. So any, anyway, we're gonna hit create. So here we go with a completely blank Photoshop canvas. Now, oh, um, so what we're gonna do is, um, I am going to grab, um, a photo. And so I'm gonna go over here and all of my photos are saved in an Amazon photo and Google photos as an automatic backup. Uh, so I am going to log into my photo storage and I'm gonna get a photo of, uh, our students or video of our students. Um, and so let me go to, I have some album, there we go. Albums, cross Creek Students go to some of the more recent ones that's Broomball from winter. That's definitely not the most recent. Um, let me just go here. I got a bunch from camp. Maybe not, you know what, I also have it in Google Photos.

Nick Clason (05:18):
Yeah, here we go. So it's going to be called Space Jam Basketball and Frisbee Night. So none of these super encapsulate that. Um, I'm just gonna try and find like a fun one. Here's just like, oh, that's the whole video I was gonna get. Let me pick,

Nick Clason (05:56):
These are all from camp, so half the battle's fine. I'm a good background. So I think I'm just gonna pick this, this one right here. This is them just in the room. So I'm gonna download that sucker. Uh, it's gonna take me a minute cuz it is a video. Um, and so if I didn't want to do a video and I just wanted to do any sort of generic background, I could also do that. So another, uh, resource for you, a couple resources. Um, you can go to unsplash.com, um, and search for anything. So if I wanted to do basketball, just pick basketball. Um, if I also wanted to do Frisbee, I could go here and just do Frisbee. So unsplash.com is a completely free stock footage, um, website. Um, another one for you that isn't footage but is also completely free. CMG create, um, here's your free, they have free like stills.

Nick Clason (07:05):
So, um, if you get, let's just say like it's more like abstracty than it is like photos. So, um, and I haven't been on here in a minute, so it looks a little different, but I know that they have, yeah, these are all free. So if I just click view all still backgrounds and just kind of scroll through here, you know, and if you wanted like this or, or like one of these, you could totally go for that. So I'm gonna get this Norwegian tones flow, I might use that. So anyway, back to that. Now the other thing I have is I have in my, um, calendaring, I have some, this is our summer calendar just for frame of reference for y'all. Um, lemme pull it up here. So you can see this is where our summer calendar. So it's kind, kind of got like a theme, like a vibe to it.

Nick Clason (08:07):
So we already got this little icon guy here. We already got these sort of texts and everything like that. And so I've been doing that. Like anytime I would build like a a thing, I would build it with like that sort of vibe, right? The little like oval, the same text using in, out, in Inc. Incorporate the use of the icons. And so that's probably what I'm gonna do here. Um, again and as well. But I got some of those different layers and stuff to work with. And so, um, what I'm gonna do, because later I'm actually going to animate this, um, probably not with y'all, but, but I am probably gonna animate it. I do kinda want to use that. Um, I do kinda wanna use that video that I downloaded of all the students screaming. And so I just need to stick, I'm gonna start this, um, this premiere file. Um, let's see, where did I store those? I think I might actually stored it in social media. Uh, 2023 events. Summer. Yeah. So I'm gonna call this oh four Space Jam and we're just gonna store it there for now. And so all I'm gonna do here is I'm just gonna, uh, pull in

Nick Clason (09:33):
That video of them screaming into my sequence here so you can hear trying to volume up. All right, so let's go,

Nick Clason (10:10):
Let's go with that. So this right here exports the frame. I'm gonna put it, um, where I store all of the graphics. So I'm gonna go to graphics announcements, summer slides, actually it's in P S D. Um, and I'm gonna actually make a folder so it all stores in the same spot. Actually, you know what I'm gonna put it, I don't have a great file storage for this, so do not borrow my file storage methods cuz everyone tells me that they can't figure it out. And um, sometimes I can't even figure it out. I'm gonna put it in there. So there's just the frame. Okay, so that being said, now we're back in Photoshop. So now I can go grab just the still frame, um, that I'm gonna use later. And so it's in social media, TikTok and Res 2023 events, summer calendar, space Jam.

Nick Clason (10:59):
So there's my still boom. Okay, now I, I am going to landry's face, I am going to pull this Norwegian water thing in. And uh, now it's on top of it. So now it covers up my picture. However, if I go over here and I right click or command click or whatever you do to get your other options and go to blending, I can reduce down the opacity. So now my, uh, my video or my, my photo back there, you can see back through here that it's, it's, it's, uh, showing. So I'm gonna click okay for that. Um, and I'm gonna turn this. All right. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna make that background black and white. So image adjustments, black and white. So now it's black and white. I'm gonna just increase the opacity a little bit. I want it to be just faint. All right, it's back there. Can't really tell a lot. Um, and then out of my old graphics, cuz it, I think it's worth, you know, admitting I don't necessarily have to reinvent the wheel every single time. Um, so I'm gonna go pull open, oh, it's in PSDs, I'm gonna go pull open,

Nick Clason (12:40):
Do water wars. Okay, so it, what it does is it just creates like a second tab there. Now it's worth noting that it, this hasn't been saved anywhere. So I'm gonna go file save as p s D, I'm gonna save it where I save all my stuff, which as you've found out is not very good. But, um, most still graphics, I put in this graphics folder, p s d and I'm gonna save this as space jam. I dunno why I'm so tempted to always put an E on it. All right, so when I click on this, it pulls open the, it, it clicks on this layer right here. I need that and the text beneath it. I also want this wars right here. I also want that and I also want this text. So when I hit shift, it selects all of those things. And now when I pull this over, boom, it's right there. If I were to add those myself, I could go here to the text tool, drag it to whatever size I want, and type in whatever I want, highlight it, change the font over here, all those good things. Um, I don't want that. So over here in my Layers panel, I'm just gonna delete that entire layer, hit backspace and it's gone. Now I don't have this text. I did, I have gotten a new, I've gotten a new computer. As I've told you, I I have backed them all up. So we're gonna go there

Nick Clason (14:34):
And I think it was called summer but it actually might not have backed up. So it's called Summer regular. So honestly I think I got it from DeFont. So DeFont summer regular, I'm gonna go back over here and I'm just gonna search. There it is. Download Open, installed. So now, yeah, now I can edit it cuz now I have it installed. So it's called space. And what this is right here is, this is a whole layer. So I'm gonna release the clipping mask so that you can see. So this is just a downloaded gradient thing. It kind of goes along and in line with our summer calendar theming and vibes. Um, but if you put a layer, a photo over top of another item, if you right click on it, you can create a clipping mask. So now that text is just got that same gradient file, but it's just over top of it. So now type in Space Jam and the event is July 19th. So we're gonna adjust this to that. And I'm gonna, I gotta move, I gotta select all of it. I gotta select the layer and the text and everything. So Space jam,

Nick Clason (16:44):
I'm gonna put it here. And then since that event in of itself doesn't really to me explain what the heck it even is. Um, I'm gonna write a little blurby blurb right here. I can make it center aligned. Come join us for some basketball and ultimate Frisbee space, Frisbee jam, basketball Space Jam. That's where I got the name from. It's corny. It's Youth Ministry. Welcome to it Spelled Frisbee wrong. So updating that and then I'm gonna go back over here and I'm gonna go to my icons and I'm gonna include that

Nick Clason (17:48):
I,

Nick Clason (17:53):
I'm looking for that. Where it tells me it's centered. I'm actually thinking about just adding it right here and then taking this sucker, just taking this, uh, off screen there.

Nick Clason (18:19):
Actually, I might go, no, I'll just leave it down so I can bring this select, select, bring all those up, bring this down a little center. Bring that down a little. I gotta grab both of these over here. So select, grab 'em both, put it there, let Jamb in the front a little bit and boom, it, I'm just gonna go with that. So command shift S for save, we're gonna save it where we saved it earlier. Command option shift W and now we'll export it as um, whatever we want. I'm gonna export it their format as a jpeg and then I'm gonna go drop it in that graphics folder. Um, announcements, summer, space, jam, save. Boom. It's done. All right, um, I got one more I wanna do for you. Um, and I'm gonna pull open WhatsApp cuz I sent this photo to my wife. And I'm also gonna just borrow from, I had a slide at camp that I used. You know what, I might have done the whole thing and might have done the whole thing. So I'm gonna download this photo from what I sent to my wife. You're not seeing it cuz it's on a different screen.

Nick Clason (20:15):
I can't think of where, I'm trying to find where it is. I can't find it so forget it. I'm gonna go back here to see him, to create though and just get me something random.

Nick Clason (20:38):
I

Nick Clason (20:39):
I something that I kinda like. I might use one of these just like Rock ones Cali Coast. So here I am. I'm gonna save this as a new one cuz this is going to be, um, a scavenger hunt slide. So scavenger hunt. So over here and downloads Cally coast. I'm just gonna drag it in, takes up the whole thing. I'm gonna drag this to the very top. So that covers everything over here. And this is like your order, right? That things lay. So this is gonna be at the top there. Um, I'm gonna add a text here that says find, I'm gonna command a that I'm gonna change the font to Gotham Black. This is italics and this is Boulder. I'm gonna give it a little bit of a drop shadow. That's too much. It also isn't gonna show up, so I'm gonna give it a little bit of a white drop shadow. Um, yeah, I'm gonna keep it white, but I'm just gonna make it real tight. All right, so it's still a little bit far now that it's that tight, I think no, we'll make it like a deeper purple background. You can see it there moving, right? That's my distance,

Nick Clason (22:12):
That's my size, that's my spread. Find the name of our guys. Pugsley. Make that a little smaller. I'm bringing that download of him. I'm gonna give Valla a drop shadow. I don't want purple though. If I hit command T, that's how I can change the size.

Nick Clason (23:38):
I

Nick Clason (23:39):
Just stay right there. Just a look. Command t again, just a little bit off screen and boom, that's just gonna be that command shift. W

Nick Clason (23:59):
And that's not a summer slide, so we're just gonna put it regular in here. Save. Done. Well I hope that that tutorial on, um, Adobe Photoshop was helpful for you. That is how I get my layers. And then like a next step would be if I'm adding those to any sort of like pre-roll or whatever, I'll bring those into Adobe Premiere Pro and I can animate each of those individual layers. If you want a completely free animated um effect, go grab that in the show notes, something that's just free and available for y'all. Hope you find that helpful. Like subscribe, leave a comment and hey, ask us any questions that we have. We would love to help y'all out. But until next time, and as always, don't forget, stay hybrid.

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.

Nick Clason (00:00):
Well, hey everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Hybrid Ministry Show. As always, I am your host, Nick Clason, pumped and jacked, and thrilled and excited to be with you. Hey, welcome. You're in my office. Um, and in this episode we're gonna be doing something quite a bit different. What I'm gonna be doing is I'm gonna be giving a tutorial, um, from start to finish on how I edit a, uh, one of our teaching videos. So I've told you before we do talking head teaching style videos. So I'm gonna show you what I do in Adobe per, uh, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro. Um, and maybe After Effects, it just depends, probably not. Um, and so I want to give you kind of a run through tutorial Crash course on how I do what I do, um, as well as just let this be a training kind of video that lives in perpetuity, um, on Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro.

Nick Clason (00:57):
So let's go ahead and let's dive in and get this thing started. I'm gonna be sharing with you my screen. I'm also going to be sharing, uh, my video, um, just like of me talking. If you're listening to this. Um, it may get a little technical and it may be a little bit hard to follow. So just know that the entire episode is on YouTube with a video tutorial. And so you may listen to this, um, but go back to YouTube for actual like reference of it. So without any further ado, let's dive in. Hey, before, actually, before we dive in, why don't you go, uh, check out YouTube, check out TikTok, check out Instagram, um, and link in the show notes for transcripts as well as a link to my 100% completely free ebook, how to Make a TikTok from Start to Finish. Now, without any further ado, let's dive in.
Rending Your Video
Nick Clason (01:48):
All right, so what you're seeing here is, um, an Adobe Pro, um, file that I just edited. Um, I'm gonna start from scratch. So, um, we are in, uh, start the party week three. Um, I already got this thing started a little bit and so I'm gonna take you into my started project. Um, but if I hadn't, um, this is my original footage, uh, not that this is my original footage and these are my original audio files. Uh, just dropped those in. Um, I had two audio files cause we were using two microphone sources to get it going. Um, I ran those together and then I just rendered it out as a singular one, which is this one right here. So, um, that's basically where we are. And I think the only other thing I did was make like cuts, um, which I'll show you how I do all that stuff anyway, so, um, let's make sure this gets saved in the right spot. So we're gonna save it. Shared drive FC students. This is just my folder structure and my shared folder structure. Um, messages are in social media messages. The year, the number of the series, this is week three. And so we're just gonna call this stp. So start the party three, underscore two

Nick Clason (03:12):
Oh man. And all this stuff got lost. I think this might be from an old file that was stuck in there. Um, I'm gonna link it anyway though. So it's in Google Drive, shared drive. It looks like most of that stuff was in camp. See if I can search it in here. File enough. Wait, I need to do, I need to do these, so I need to do, um, I need to go here. All right, now let's try it. Do those. So I need to go to Google Drive, share, drive, trips, camp. Okay, I found a bunch of 'em and then those are downloads. So those are gonna be gone and that's okay. I don't need those cuz those are other things. This one right here is in my, a local file that I use, like personal stuff and I've been moving things around cause I just lost a bunch of data. So it's in here. It's in here. This admin social, not that one.

Nick Clason (04:45):
Uh,

Nick Clason (04:45):
There we go. Search. Okay, there's that. And then this Hex C is in this shared drive of marketing. Where is it? Marketing? Um, branding. No, it's in marketing. Where's the marketing folder? Why is it gone? Starts with an M.

Nick Clason (05:28):
Hmm.

Nick Clason (05:30):
That's okay. I don't think I need it. So offline, offline, offline, offline. Okay. All right, there we go. Sorry, sorry, sorry for that. So here, yeah, so I got this thing started.

Nick Clason (05:44):
In this video we're gonna talk about how you can get invited to every single party ever.

Nick Clason (05:53):
All right. So, um, that's that. And then I'm gonna take you over here to Photoshop, which is where, uh, I'm gonna get some fo some things going. Um, these are, this is a template. So I've used this before for other videos, so I kind of build out the template. So let me show you what I've done in the past. So this is my, um, bible verse template. And then this is my like anything else template, um, that I've been using for this series. So if you hit, uh, command minus, that'll zoom you out in Photoshop. Um, command Plus will zoom you in those things. Um, just help you see the things a little bit better. Uh, if I'm over here on the left hand side, I'm using the selection tool. Um, so I can select certain layers that are already created. Um, so I'm selecting this, uh, font right here or yeah, this right here. Uh, but I don't have that font right now. So what I actually need to do is I actually need to go install it. I have them all backed up. I'm just, I just switched to like a new computer and so that's why like nothing is in here. Um, fonts. Okay, so I'm gonna open my font book and I'm just gonna drop over here off screen. All these Gotham fonts that I need.

Nick Clason (07:19):
I think Hope did that work? I don't know. Let's search. Nope. Oh, there we go. Uh, keep both. I think that should,

Nick Clason (07:36):
Yeah, there we go. Now it's in there. Okay, so you'll see right here. Now they're all in there. So back over here. We're just gonna cancel cuz now it should read it. Yep. So if I'm over here on the left, I can grab the entire font. Like if I pick the top selection tool here, I can grab the entire font, uh, block thing and move it all the way around. If I go down here to text, I can edit the text. Um, and so I'm gonna have different verses and stuff like that. If I go over here, I can edit that text, right? But if I wanna move the whole thing, I can move the whole thing. Um, so back over here in Adobe Premiere Pro, I got this, it goes straight, start in,

Nick Clason (08:14):
Find out.

Nick Clason (08:15):
It goes straight on into the title sequence there. So I'm gonna take you here.

Nick Clason (08:27):
Nope, nobody ever likes to be the person left out.

Nick Clason (08:35):
All right, so let's see what we got.

Nick Clason (08:37):
One time I moved away from a church that I used to work.

Nick Clason (08:40):
So all these photos are old photos that I drummed up from before. So let's see where this video has us right now. This single

Nick Clason (08:48):
Fall, we went to a camp called Camp Tesa in Brixton and me and we called the retreat the Recharge.

Nick Clason (08:56):
All right, so in Adobe Premiere Pro, if you click the space bar, that's your keyboard shortcut for play. Uh, you can move this around here in the sequence, um, to go to different spots, um, on your keyboard. If you look at the J K L and I, it's sort of in the shape of uh, arrows. And so J K L I J is back, K is down, I is up Ellis forward. One of my favorite hacks for that is once you get it playing, you can click L and it'll make it go quicker. You can hit J and it'll make it go backwards. You can also hit the arrow button to go frame by frame. So right, left.

Nick Clason (09:43):
So that's how I go real slow. So that being said, if I wanna do any sort of overlay videos, which I'm going to like you see right here, I did these photos, I overlaid them. I also have presets that have them come in. Um, I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll drop the link. Um, I'll drop the link, but I'm first gonna make a note to myself so that I don't forget to do it. Um, but I'm gonna drop the link to the presets, um, in the show notes. So that's not the right thing I need to do. Oh five three Adobe. Uh, there it is new. This is just so I don't forget about you guys. Um, presets. So in Adobe Premiere Pro there's little, uh, motion presets that you can use. I use one, I use one pack. There's like 50 of 'em.

Nick Clason (10:32):
They look like this position in position out. Rotate out, rotate in scale and scale out. I use those pretty much all the time. And I'll often pair those with like a, an audio. So if you see right here as this one comes in, it's got a little audio down here on this audio track. So you got audio track one, audio track two, audio track three. You got video track one, video track two video track three. And you can do an unlimited amount up, uh, in video and an unlimited amount down in audio. So as I play it, this church, I got that little whoosh sound coming in. I didn't do that for the rest of them cause I didn't want it to be distracting. Our would come. So they're just coming in one by one as I'm explaining this story. So

Nick Clason (11:09):
Before I

Nick Clason (11:10):
Moved and then here this cut, I hit, uh, I cut it with the razor tool over here. Um, also shortcut keyboard, shortcut C, we'll switch it to the razor tool and then v we'll switch it back to this selection tool. Um, and so then once I click v I just drag the, the thing I wanna do position out, just drag it onto there, do other things and then it rotates out. Or not rotate but moves out. So back to editing. Uh, now that you've gotten all that little quick overview, let's edit the fall.

Nick Clason (11:41):
We went to a camp called Camp Temsa in Brooks and Indiana.

Nick Clason (11:45):
We, I'm gonna speed it up a little bit called the

Nick Clason (11:47):
Retreat, the recharge retreat. That's awesome. And so I leave that church, I'm going to another one that same weekend, not in the same place. And because I followed both my old church and my buddy's church on Instagram, I see that they're both on a retreat. That's interesting. Both that church and church are both on a retreat together, but on the same weekend. That's interesting. Wait, in Brooks, Indiana, hold on a minute. They're together. When I began to notice was that these two churches came together instead of calling it recharge retreat, they called it a lifeline retreat, something like that. I dunno, but I felt so left out there. I was sitting at home thinking that used to be me. I used to be the one there and now I'm home with my kids, with my new church man if I aren't there. And I felt incredibly about that. When it comes to a part, often feel like very cut and dry, very binary, right? Like there are insiders.

Nick Clason (12:30):
All right, I'm gonna cut that. I don't like what I said there. So I'm gonna see if I can cut around that

Nick Clason (12:35):
Often feel like very cut and dry to a party.

Nick Clason (12:40):
So I don't need that much space there. So when it comes to a party, so I hit C to cut it V to select it, and I'm just gonna hit the backspace button and now it's gone. I'm gonna drag this in so it's next to it

Nick Clason (12:52):
Like very cut. And often feel like

Nick Clason (12:59):
When it comes to a party can often feel like

Nick Clason (13:03):
Very cut and dry, very binary.

Nick Clason (13:07):
Let's see if I can get all that out of there. So I'm just gonna drag this over. So C to V, let's see how it plays

Nick Clason (13:13):
Often feel like, right, like there are insiders,

Nick Clason (13:17):
I'm just gonna do feels like there's insiders. So drag, drag, drag

Nick Clason (13:21):
Parts often feel like insiders and there are outsiders.

Nick Clason (13:26):
So like

Nick Clason (13:27):
Inside

Nick Clason (13:28):
I need to get this to zoom in. So what I'm doing, one of my cuts, I zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out. So if you see that, if you're watching on YouTube, this right here, um, I click on it up up here in the effects controls under motion. Um, I have my position and it's scaled at 1 28. So when I'm here, this is at one 10. So this cut here needs to go to 1 28. Just type that in, hit enter. And now I have those cuts

Nick Clason (13:55):
Insiders. And there are,

Nick Clason (13:58):
And that just took care of that cut right there. Now because I did all that, I got all this stuff back here that is cropped out, so I need to connect it. There you go. It's connected

Nick Clason (14:14):
Today. One of Jesus' friends, a guy named Matthew recorded this story out of the life of Jesus. Here's what it says.

Nick Clason (14:23):
All right, so now I'm gonna do a Bible verse. So I have this stored somewhere. I think it's in curriculum,

Nick Clason (14:36):
Yeah, for me. Uh, is that Darren's? That might be Darren's. I just need to figure out the verse reference. I'm gonna figure out the verse reference. I'm gonna go put it into Photoshop. So thank you. I got a new computer. So everything's brand new. Yeah, that's Darren. So I need to figure out mine. I think mine actually might be my own personal Google drive. So I'm gonna search start. Yeah, it's there. So start the party three there. It's um, Matthew nine 10 in the nlt. So I'm gonna go to bible gateway.com. I'm gonna switch it to nlt so that what I say version wise matches what is on screen. And now as I go back over here, one of

Nick Clason (15:21):
Jesus's friends, a guy named Matthew, recorded this story out of the life of Jesus. And here's what it says. It says later, Matthew invited

Nick Clason (15:31):
Jesus. Okay, so I'm gonna go here into Photoshop, click my text tool, uh, command a, highlights that all, command v paste it. I wanna make it, um, all caps like I had before. We're gonna keep it uniform as best I can remember. Um, I just changed it down to a hundred. Um, and then I'm in Matthew nine 10. So now I'm gonna hit command shift save. Um, and that saves the full Photoshop file. So then I'm here in my, uh, you know, social media messages 20 23, 0 6, 0 3. So in the oh three folder, this is message number three, I'm gonna click new folder, p s d. Um, and then I'm gonna save it as oh oh one verse so that I know that, um, file oh oh one is a verse save. So now it's saved as a Photoshop file. So this is why I like Adobe Premier Pro, um, because of its integration with Photoshop.

Nick Clason (16:33):
So back over here in my actual finder, I'm gonna navigate to the folder. I just saved that to p s d oh oh one verse. I'm gonna drag the entire file here into the project bin on this left hand side. Drop it in. And I have three, four options. I can merge all layers, merge layers, individual layers or sequence. I'm gonna do individual layers. Um, and now it'll drop this folder. And now I got every individual layer that I had in Photoshop. Now I'm not gonna use all of them, but I am gonna animate them. And I wanna show you what I did in previous videos. So if you go back to the first video in this series, um, it's gonna take a second to come in from uh, Google Drive downloading. But I'm gonna, I'm gonna look at what I did a for myself to remember how I animated everything, um, so that I can be consistent all the way across all these videos.

Nick Clason (17:31):
Um, I don't, you don't have to do that. I like to do that for every series. I like to have like the same animations, um, so that it has like uniform, same backing track, which um, out here I found this file, um, on motion array, uh, as song for the background. So I have this right here. This, uh, audio layer is my tech, my my speaking audio layer. This layer down here is my, uh, audio, um, backing track, all music. So anyway, um, oh you know what? This might not open in QuickTime because of yeah, cuz I'm already using QuickTime. You know what, it's on YouTube so let's go check it out. So we're gonna go to YouTube, um, cross Creeks, dude. And let's see videos. Here it is.

Nick Clason (18:39):
People seem so full of life and others seem, oh, celebrate the value of others. And

Nick Clason (18:49):
So as I scroll through here, I'm just scrubbing through to find the text. Here it is. So if you'll notice I made a cut and the verse,

Nick Clason (19:06):
Cause he said it in his own words, the

Nick Clason (19:09):
Thief. So the verse in this little banner thing with the hello summer, it's all already there. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go to this Roberto Nixon. That's the, that's the background.

Nick Clason (19:22):
But let's, let's see. Remind myself what I did over here. I had rectangle two as like a backdrop to make it blacker. So go to rectangle two. So put those together. So right, this is uh, as the layers build up, bottom, top. Um, so there's my two backgrounds. If I just hold the mouse down, highlight them both, then I can move them both longer in the sequence. Um, so there's the background. Uh, let's see. This right here is titled rectangle one. So I'm gonna go back over here and grab a rectangle one, put it right there in line with it and drag it there to go the whole distance. Then I'm gonna get my verse reference Matthew nine 10, put it there. And then I'm missing that little hello summer icon that I made. So I'm gonna click on that and it's called Hello Color Official Colors. So go to Hello Color, pull that right here and boom. And it's covering up Matthew. So I'm just going to change the order there. Pull Hello, color, make Hello Color, be below Matthew. So there, okay, so now all my things are in. So right here on this today

Nick Clason (20:48):
One of Jesus's friends, a guy named Matthew.

Nick Clason (20:52):
Now I don't say it yet. So what I did was I held down shift and clicked them all to highlight them. I'm just gonna move it, what

Nick Clason (20:59):
Of this story out of the life of Jesus. And here's what it says.

Nick Clason (21:03):
So when I say, here's what it, I'm gonna go right here, where, here's what it says. So I hit c I got my razor tool, I cut the thing there, now I'm hitting V to go back to my selection tool and I'm just gonna highlight all these layers, bring 'em back over. So now it's there. So then I need to bring in the actual text, which I believe starts with later Matthew. So I'm gonna listen to it and line it up when it comes in. So

Nick Clason (21:27):
Here's what it says

Nick Clason (21:29):
Right there later, Matthew, boom, I'm gonna have that, um, position in, lemme go back and see what I did over here.

Nick Clason (21:40):
Let see,

Nick Clason (21:41):
It looks like it was a smooth transition and I just know that thief. Yeah, I just know that from experience of what these different ones look like. So I'm going over here position in smooth left. Okay, that came from a file. The sound came from a file over here under social media. Nope, nope, it came under my drive. Uh, social, this is my old church, Parkview. See if it's gonna, there it is. Sound effects. Uh, I've been transferring a lot of data, so it may not be all in here. Let's see if I can go, let's see if it's in actual Google Drive. So I'm gonna switch to my work profile, shared drive notes. It's in my drive. Passport,

Nick Clason (22:49):
Social.

Nick Clason (22:56):
It's called sfx. There it is. I'm gonna download that sucker. Um, so now it's in my downloads folder. I'm gonna take it out of there and I'm gonna bring it here so that's all in the same spot. And then I'm gonna make sure as I go into Adobe Premiere Pro, I'm gonna pull it from that same folder so that when it tries to open it later, it, it knows where it was. So I drop it in my thing. And now if I double tap on this sound, it's gonna pull it up here in this source tab up here at the top. Okay, so there's all these different, um, sounds ready. Like, so I'm just gonna find one that, like, that one sounds kinda weird.

Nick Clason (23:50):
That one's good. So I'm gonna take this, uh, bar down here and I'm gonna shrink it so that I can get a closer view of it. So if I hit I that starts, that stands for N and then if I toggle the bar right here, right past it and click o, then I can choose to grab either the video or the audio. I don't have a video so it's only audio. So I'm gonna drag the audio in here and I'm gonna line it up. And then what I like to do, again, I'm gonna drag this little bar so I can zoom in a little bit. I like to get it right, you see where it's just barely on the screen. I like to, I like to match my audio up there. So now this

Nick Clason (24:26):
Is later

Nick Clason (24:28):
Also, I'm gonna right click on this audio or control click or whatever. Two, two fingers click maybe. Um, and I'm gonna adjust the audio gain by 10. So it's a little louder. So let's see how it sounds. It says

Nick Clason (24:43):
Later,

Nick Clason (24:44):
Yeah, I'm also gonna drag this cuz it looks like it still needs a little more space to breathe later. Yeah. Okay, so that's

Nick Clason (24:54):
What it says. It says later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home.

Nick Clason (25:02):
So this one right here, I'm clicking on this back over here into effects controls. That's at 1 28. So when this comes out, I'm gonna, when I'm done with the verse, I'm gonna cut it and I'm gonna cut it down to one 10. Remember I was talking back and forth between 1 28 and one 10. So

Nick Clason (25:16):
This reputable sinners that comes outta Matthew chapter nine verse 10.

Nick Clason (25:22):
So as I say that, I'm gonna cut right here. And then if I hit C for cut and if you hold down shift, it will cut everything in that uh, up above and and down below. So I'm gonna hit shift it, cut all my layers and I'm gonna go back to v the selection tool. I'm just gonna select them all. So now they're all gone. I clicked back on the actual video, I need to make that one 10. That was my transition. So 10

Nick Clason (25:54):
Your tax collector

Nick Clason (25:55):
Back in and now we're rolling with guests be

Nick Clason (25:57):
Some of the most corrupt and frustrating people in the world. These aren't the kinda of people that anyone thought Jesus would be like sitting down sharing meal with. So here's what I wanna know.

Nick Clason (26:10):
So I want to comment. Um, we're gonna be playing this in our live room and I'm also gonna post it on YouTube. So I'm gonna put this comment below thing, right where I call for it.

Nick Clason (26:18):
Comment below or

Nick Clason (26:22):
So that was one 10. I just noticed this is one 10. This video here needs to be 1 28.

Nick Clason (26:29):
One thought Jesus would be like sitting down, sharing a meal with. So here's what I wanna know.

Nick Clason (26:36):
So I'm gonna cut here cuz I have it, I had it cascading before, but I'm making some adjustments so I need to make sure that I don't get myself outta order. I'm just gonna have to like 1 28, 1 10 all the way through and change it. So if I switch back to, if I do a one 10, I switch back to 1 20, 28. Then down the road where I have a one 10, it's gonna stay in my order. Come

Nick Clason (26:58):
In below. Or if you're watching this live in the room, uh, at the table around you, I want to ask you this question. Does it surprise you to know that Jesus shared a meal with people that are considered out?

Nick Clason (27:11):
Um, so I'm gonna put this question on the screen. Um, I'm gonna look back. I saw that I had another question on the screen thing. So this is Darren. Let's see how I got that question in there.

Nick Clason (27:23):
Question is just about following a set of rules. Talking about it like a party is

Nick Clason (27:27):
Sometimes. All right, so that is, uh, I know that just again from memory, I know that's babe new. So what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna do file new, um, pixels is 1920 by 10 80. Resolution is 72 create. All right, I'm gonna command minus out. I'm gonna put a text in there. And then the question is, does it surprise you to know that Jesus spent time with these types of, of people or something like that? Command A highlights it all. I'm gonna change it to babe. New, um, babe, new bold. Um, color's gonna be white. I'm gonna right click on layer one, which is the text layer. I haven't, I must not change my settings yet. So I'm gonna go down to drop shadow and I wanna make it a black drop shadow. Give it a little angle here. So like, I usually like to go to the left at an angle. It's just personal preference. You can do whatever you want. Changing my size. If you see on, on the YouTube screen, I'm changing my size down, I'm changing my spread down. I like it a little bit more. Um, yeah, I'm gonna put my distance more right behind it.

Nick Clason (28:46):
There we go. Um, again, I'm just kind of doing that by eye and feel. But the more like black it goes in the background that I think the better it looks when it comes in. I'm going to highlight it. I'm gonna make it center aligned. I'm gonna drag this up to right underneath it. And then that way as I pull it down, you'll see right there I got those lines that are giving me, it's telling me's right in the middle, um, left and right and up and down. Okay, I got those lines telling me that I'm gonna delete this background here and then I'm gonna click command option shift w um, or file. That's the shortcut for file export. Export as. So command shift w I'm gonna switch it from JPEG to png. PNG gives it the transparent background. I'm gonna hit export and then I'm gonna go save it in that same folder. So share drive FC students social media messages. 2023. Um, start the party number three, I'm gonna put it in this PSD folder, but I'm gonna make a p and g folder, um, to not get 'em confused, I'm gonna take label it oh oh one question. Boom, put it in there and then back over here and premiere. I'm gonna do Pete, go into it. Uh, nope, wrong one, three psd uh, P and G question. I'm gonna drop it into my thing. I'm gonna drag it over here. So here's the question.

Nick Clason (30:12):
Come in below or if you're watching this live in the room, uh, at the table around you, I want to ask you this question.

Nick Clason (30:19):
Here's a question. So it's gonna come in, I'm gonna do positioning left and I'm gonna go down here and get that same sound effect. So it's uh, oh two five sfx. If you lose it in your bin there, you got this little search thing. So I just know the name of it is sfx. I click on it. I already got these bars from my in my out. I go my audio here, I drag it here and I'm just gonna make sure that that's all loaded up. I want it. Oh, I want it there. I'm gonna right click that. I'm gonna make that 10 again. Audio gain 10. Another way to do that if I want just the exact same one is I can go back over here to this one and if I hit option while it's highlighted and drag it, it should just duplicate that for me. I don't need that though, so I'm gonna delete it all. So back to my question

Nick Clason (31:12):
Table around you. I want to ask you this question. Does it surprise you to know that Jesus shared a meal with people that are considered O

Nick Clason (31:22):
All right, so I'm gonna rephrase that question so it matches. So does it surprise you to know that Jesus, um, how did I say it? Jesus shared a meal with people who are considered out. I'm going to get rid of the rest of that. All right, so now I'm gonna save it again. Again, this is one of my favorite features. I'm just gonna save it as replace and it should just change it. Look, it just changed it on my screen there. So because I updated it there in Photoshop and changed the file name, advise you to know

Nick Clason (32:03):
That Jesus shared a meal with people that are considered out in their ancient society. Why or why not? Take a minute.

Nick Clason (32:12):
So now that I have this, I'm actually gonna put a little countdown timer on the screen. So, um, in one of my folders here, I have a countdown timer. It's right here. It's called five Minutes Full Flat one. I just know the name of it. It's got an alpha channel on it. So it's right there. I'm going to, um, I only need the end of it cuz I'm not gonna do a full five minutes, right? So I hit C cut the rest of that and I'm gonna drag that over here. Um, I'm gonna pull a drop shadow on it. So I'm just gonna search in the effects here for Drop shadow, give it some definition. Didn't do much. I'm gonna go over here to effects controls. I'm gonna find drop shadow. I'm gonna move the opacity of the drop shadow from 50 to a hundred. I'm gonna change the distance. There we go. Now it's got some, some like at 40 back to effect controls. I'm gonna make it smaller. So I'm gonna hover over this 100 here for scale and just take it left and go down. And then I'm gonna go up here to this position. I'm just gonna drag it down right there. So now as I cue up the question, I'm gonna first find the end. This is where I end it, right here at this cut. So I'm gonna hit see.

Nick Clason (33:28):
So at the time of Jesus, there's a, so now what I'm gonna do is I am going to, this is the end. Okay? So when I queue up the question, why or why not?

Nick Clason (33:41):
Take a minute,

Nick Clason (33:43):
Uh, sir, I'm gonna cut it. I wonder if that is like past the end of the video or something. Let me see. Or is that hidden? Like what's going on here? Why is it not shown? I wonder if it's not like fully rendered or something. Hold on, let me find it. All right, now that I delete it, let's see if I can find it again over here. It's right here. It just looks like it's like loading it in. So it looks like it's just gonna take a little, a little, a little minute, a little minute to think I throw, I'm gonna drop it back in. Drop shadow, took all that off. Bye. Messing with it. I'm gonna change the distance to 40. It might just all need to like think. So I'm gonna hit file save as s STP 32. I'm gonna override it. Save. And I am going to, um, take a little break. I'll be right back. All right, so that didn't do crap. So I'm gonna open that sucker back up. Let's see if I can get it all right. That did it. So I just saved it and then I closed it and I opened it back up. We're good to go. So that's the end of my clip right there. Actually, it's a little bit long. So I'm gonna get to the end of my clip right there.

Nick Clason (37:13):
I'm going to click on the timer. I'm gonna make it a little smaller. I'm gonna pull it down and then I'm probably gonna animate its entrance. So

Nick Clason (37:23):
Surprise you to know that Jesus shared a meal with people that are considered out in their ancient society. Why or why not? Take a minute.

Nick Clason (37:34):
So I'm gonna put it right here where it starts, but that's only 10 seconds. And so what I'm actually gonna do is I'm going to lengthen the time. So I'm gonna grab all these right here and I'm gonna move them. And I want to give it closer to like 30 seconds. This is just like as a youth pastor is what I want to do. So I'm gonna pull this all the way down. I'm gonna pull this all the way down and then back that puts me at like a minute. So I want it at like 30. So like around, yeah, like around there. So that's where I want it to. And so what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna, I hit, uh, see for the razor tool, I'm going to right click on this and I'm going to change the speed. So I'm gonna go, I was right click. I'm gonna go to, oh, I'm gonna go to speed and duration right here. And I'm gonna make it just 0.1. So it's super duper slow. So that's the video behind me as this question is sitting on screen. So it doesn't matter honestly what's happening behind me.

Nick Clason (38:56):
And then when that gets down to zero there, that's the end of it. I'm gonna pull. So I'm gonna zoom out so I can see all this. I'm gonna pull all these back in. So it's right next to it. Boom. Actually it needs to go there. I can drag that one to close the gap. And then I just need to animate the entrance. So I'm just gonna do motion in positioning smooth bottom of my countdown timer. Now I'm coming back over here. So

Nick Clason (39:50):
At the time of Jesus, there's a group of religious leaders, they're called the Pharisees. And they had a real problem with this dinner that we seen Jesus at. So it says when the Pharisees sum,

Nick Clason (40:01):
All right, so I need the verse for what I'm about to say. This is my show notes so I don't forget what it is. This is my

Nick Clason (40:13):
All right, so Matthew nine 11. So it's in this same thing here. It's just literally one verse later. So we're gonna copy this. I don't want to get that little A right there from Bible gateway all. So I'm in this tab here in Photoshop. I'm gonna go back to this tab. Not that one, not that one. Where is it? There's my verse. All right, hit the text command A to highlight command, V to copy. And then if I hit highlight at all and hit command shift and then the like p the period sign or like the, it looks like a greater than symbol, I can increase the size, um, slowly. So I'm gonna do that. I am going to change that from uh, Matthew nine 10 to Matthew nine 11 command shift S for save. Uh, oh oh two verse right there. And I'm drag that whole file back in. So get back over to it. Drag it in

Nick Clason (41:13):
Individual layers. Boom. Now here's the good news, which is a super cool, fun hack. Um, oh, that needs to be all the way this, this. So I'm hitting shift to highlight all these, all of these bad boys. Um, I'm, I'm replicating, right? I'm using the exact same thing. So I don't have to import all those. I'm just gonna hit option and drag them over here. And now I have this identical thing. I don't have to redo that. So now, now all I need is to get Matthew nine 11 right there, the new verse. And then I just need to animate in the text. So back over here, Jesus,

Nick Clason (41:51):
There's a group of religious leaders, they're called the Pharisees. And they had a real problem with this dinner that we seen Jesus at. So it says when the fa

Nick Clason (42:02):
So we're gonna do it right there and then we're gonna bring in. But when,

Nick Clason (42:06):
So it says when the fair

Nick Clason (42:08):
Right there, I'm gonna drag that to the end position in left. And then I need that sfx sounder. Click on here. Get that, bring it here, zoom in. I'm just hitting arrow over. That's where I want my sound effect to start. Um, I need to make that up to 10. All right, here we go.

Nick Clason (42:33):
So it says, when the Pharisees saw this, the fact that Jesus was there with the, the sinners and the outcast. And so why does your teacher eat with such stomach? Ask Jesus' disciples this question. You see the fares, you Jesus' disciples this question.

Nick Clason (42:50):
I think that's where I'm gonna end it. So remember, uh, see shifty boom back to V I can erase all those. So this was at 1 28. It'll come back to here at one 10.

Nick Clason (43:07):
Good question. You see the Pharisees were purposefully keeping others on the outside. They were judging them and questioning Jesus and his friends for not keeping them on the outside.

Nick Clason (43:20):
That is too long of a gap. I don't like that. So I'm going to cut right here, drag this and then make this 1 28. So now one sec.

Nick Clason (43:28):
Check out what Jesus said in response to them. I love it. He says,

Nick Clason (43:32):
All right, so we're doing another verse. I'm gonna assume it's the next verse. Yeah, actually it's 12 and 13, so I'm gonna get both of those. Oh, 12 through 13, copy paste. No that not copy. I must not have hit copy command C paste command v, I'm gonna make it a little smaller. Remember, command shift less than sign. I want this little a bad boy out of there space there. I'm gonna make, give a little more space to breathe cuz it is small. However, lemme make sure I don't how I read it.

Nick Clason (44:27):
Healthy people. So let me ask you, go and learn the meaning of this scripture. I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices for I have come to call, not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are.

Nick Clason (44:47):
All right? So yeah, I did do the whole verse. So um, command shift s we're going to make it oh three verse back over here in premiere. I'm gonna clear that search so that I can find it. Verse three, we're making it individual layers. Boom. All right, so I need all of these backgrounds again option. So I'm gonna go here where it starts.

Nick Clason (45:19):
Check up. Oh Jesus.

Nick Clason (45:21):
So we're gonna make it right there. When I say check out, I just need Matthew nine. Oh did I not change it? Nope, I didn't change it. So I need to make it 12 through 13, just a little smaller. I'm gonna write it over. So now that same layer in Adobe Premiere Pro will be updated with the new text. So it's all that check out

Nick Clason (45:51):
What Jesus said in response to them. I love it. He says,

Nick Clason (45:57):
All right, so I need this verse, I need to put it right here, position in left. And then I need that sfx. Actually I'm not gonna get it that way. I'm gonna go here, highlight it option, drag it over. I make sure that I, whenever I do that, I always make sure sometimes it doesn't work but some. So I wanna make sure I didn't just move it but I actually copied it. So I wanna make sure they're both still there. They are. I'm gonna zoom in. I'm gonna get, when this starts coming in right there, that was already pretty close, but just a little over.

Nick Clason (46:34):
Healthy people don't need a doctor, sick people. So let me add, go and learn the meaning of this scripture. I want you to show mercy

Nick Clason (46:44):
Not so it's not long enough. So I'm gonna highlight all these and I'm gonna drag it. I

Nick Clason (46:48):
Offer sacrifices for, I have come to call, not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are S,

Nick Clason (46:56):
That's where I'm gonna end it. I'm gonna shift, remember C, to get the razor tool, shift V, delete 'em all. And that gives me this new cut on my video timeline as well. So if that was 1 28, this can be one 10 as a zoom back out. No

Nick Clason (47:15):
They are, that comes from 99, 12 and 13.

Nick Clason (47:19):
I don't need that. So I'm gonna v cut that. See then V.

Nick Clason (47:24):
See Jesus came to care for those who needed him and most he came to show grace and love and mercy to the sinners, the tax collectors and anyone else who has ever been cast out of a girl. So what

Nick Clason (47:44):
That was a big gap.

Nick Clason (47:46):
So what does it look like to show mercy in today's world? Well for starters it's letting people know that they belong. That they can have a seat at your table.

Nick Clason (47:59):
So I like that quote. So I am going to um, it's letting people know that they belong. That they have a seat at your table. Just to make sure I got that quote right. Let's hear it again.

Nick Clason (48:18):
Well for starters it's letting people know that they belong. That they can have a seat at your table. You know, when you think about your life, right? Like I want you,

Nick Clason (48:31):
So I'm gonna do command option shift. W because I'm exporting, I'm not saving, I'm gonna make it a p and g. I am not saving the source files of these. I probably should but I'm not cuz I could recreate them pretty fast. And so it's just saving me a step cuz I would save it as a psd, then I would save it as a p and g as well. And that's just two steps. I'm just trying to cut that down. So I'm gonna have that come in there and then I need to drag into this gap right here. I want it positioning in left.

Nick Clason (49:01):
You know, when you think about your love, right? Like I want

Nick Clason (49:06):
You actually it's over here.

Nick Clason (49:09):
Well for

Nick Clason (49:14):
I get smaller, I got a pretty big starters. It's love. Yeah, there it as well. So I'm gonna pull that sfx sounder option. Yep.

Nick Clason (49:39):
It's letting people know that they, they belong, that they can have a seat at your table. You know when you think,

Nick Clason (49:53):
You know, when you think about your life, right? Like I want you to be honest, you probably hang out with people that you're most comfortable with. Your table might look like a table full of athletes or your table might be a table full of kids in theaters or your table might be a table full. Just kids in your neighborhood that you hang out with. Here's my questions. Since your table is often very similar, what if rather than having everybody with the same label sitting at all of your seats of your table, what have you chose to mix it up a little bit? You have one with this label, one with that label one with this label one. What would that look like? Like think about it. What if you chose to invite people?

Nick Clason (50:48):
So I'm just gonna add this here cause I felt like it was going a while without anything on the screen. Um, and I like that question. So I'm gonna make that oh oh three question and let's see where I start talking about it. A table

Nick Clason (51:04):
Full of athletes or your table might be a table full of kids in theater or your table might be a table full of just kids in your neighborhood that you hang out with. Here's my question. Since your table is often very similar,

Nick Clason (51:17):
What right there, what? So I'm gonna do position in left. I'm gonna go get this sounder again. Bring it right here. See those little arrows that gives me the indication that's lined up with my text up there. So I'm gonna let it go soon back in. Very similar.

Nick Clason (51:35):
What if rather than having everybody with the same label sitting at all of your seats of your team, what if you chose to mix it up a little bit? We have one with it.

Nick Clason (51:46):
I might actually move it. So I'm gonna hit that and then shift so I can move both of them over.

Nick Clason (51:53):
What if you chose to mix it up a little bit? We have one with this label, one with that. Like what?

Nick Clason (51:59):
I'm going faster now. Hitting L

Nick Clason (52:11):
Entertainment,

Nick Clason (52:13):
Is that the same thing?

Nick Clason (52:17):
Invest in different kinds of shows or, or forms of, uh, entertainment.

Nick Clason (52:23):
Yeah, I said that wrong.

Nick Clason (52:27):
Economic factors, what would it look? Sitting at all of your seats of your table, what have you chose to mix it up a little bit. We have one with this label, one with that label one with this label one. What would that look like? Like think about it. What if you chose to invite people who come from significantly different socioeconomic factors? What would it look like if you chose to invite people who are into different shows or forms of entertainment? You know, like kids who are maybe into anime or, or the Bachelorette or the Kardashians. What if you ask someone who is a gamer because you typically despise gamers and, and you're an athlete. Or maybe what if you're a Christian and you tend to avoid people who believe differently than you? What if you invited someone with a different faith system? Remember this, A party starter knows that everyone is invited. So how do you get invited?

Nick Clason (53:30):
Just gotta alternate these for the zoom back and forth on my cuts.

Nick Clason (53:35):
Be like Jesus, be the person willing to invite somebody new.

Nick Clason (53:42):
No, I don't mind alternating these now because I only got few . I'm at the finish line. People

Nick Clason (53:51):
Ain't a person willing to invite somebody new. See, we want this church and cross students to get student ministry. We're at a safe place. You can show up and just as you are, find yourself surrounded by people who want to make sure and know that you are invited. So I want you to ask this question again and around a little bit. Your camera. One person that I want to make sure feels in we're invited to the party with me.

Nick Clason (54:11):
Okay? I'm gonna add that. Who is one person who you want who command option shift, w, p and G oh four. Question back over here. Go find it.

Nick Clason (54:38):
Who's one person? The

Nick Clason (54:40):
I I'm gonna put it right here. I'm gonna get the sounder, bring it over.

Nick Clason (54:52):
Who's one per

Nick Clason (54:54):
Animated position in left,

Nick Clason (54:57):
Who's

Nick Clason (54:58):
One person that I want to make sure feels in or invited to the party with me this week?

Nick Clason (55:06):
So I gotta extend that sound. Um, I also want it to uh, so it's called exponential fade. That's where it like fades out slowly. So I drag it there on the end. And then we also have a here in the messages admin folder, YouTube button. Um, I have a subscribe thing where I can uh, just highlight our YouTube channel and anyone who's watching to subscribe. So I'm gonna drop it in towards the end. I'm gonna make it a little smaller and put it in the center middle

Nick Clason (55:46):
Into the party with me this week.

Nick Clason (55:54):
And I'm gonna match up the ending audio to go with that. And then that very end, I just need it to, I don't mind if it just stays on there. And I'm gonna drag this here. Command shift SSTP 32, we're resaving it. And now if I go up to sequence and I hit Command M

Nick Clason (56:15):
Or I just make sure I have the sequence, the blue box around it, this tripped me up one time. So bad file Export media. We're gonna change the location, so we're gonna put it in this folder here. New folder. Zero zero. Final start the party. Week three, save. Export entire source. There we go. Hey, listen, hope you found this episode helpful. I know it's deep, it's nitty, it's gritty.
