Quiet, but yet moving a mile a minute internally

I am sure at least a couple of you have noticed that I have been a little quieter on comments and in discord chats as of recently. Of course, I adore all of you, but sometimes I end up getting caught up in a lot of stuff (not to mention my family often keeps me busy), but I thought Hey, why not share some of what I am up to. So, here it goes...

Now a Youtube live show Producer & Video Editor

1. Designing, Setting up, testing, troubleshooting, and monitoring a Youtube live Vodcast

I recently got on board to help with a Live Youtube Vodcast. Since I have experience in using OBS, Video Editing (and have helped in the past with videos and continue to), and can use photoshop I was onboard to help a new project.

I fit all the pieces of this broadcast together. I created, imported, tested, and troubleshot the images, the live chat, the video cams being pulled in, as well as everything to do with the stream.

2. Turned a video file into an audio-only file, added narration, and a background song, and rendered it into an MP3 (as well as an image to go along with it) so it can also be consumed as a podcast

3. Requested someone to cut the video for me so I could focus on other stuff, and when raw cuts were returned I edited them and included any necessary intros, outros, created jpegs, and such. Rendered all videos. There were multiple so it took time for each of course

4. Added in a high-quality version of an interview that I had edited just days before and imported it to the existing project. Here is a screenshot of how that individual interview (Part 1) looked in my Final Cut Pro X timeline as well:

Preparations and After stuff for my live radio show

If you have been in attendance I am sure you see and hear the work I put into this little venture of mine, but it is still fun to share. If you haven't, you should, it is a fun interactive time. Here are just a few of the things I work on to make that happen.

1. Set up the new images, songs, scenes, and more in my OBS

2. Go live during my time slot and engage with my audience on camera

3. Cut up any segments I want to separate in Final Cut Pro X

4. Render the necessary videos up to Youtube with a custom thumbnail

5. Make a full post with custom bordered images and proper links for Musicians

Extra Add-On for fun! I just whipped up this video because my kiddo thought this was funny the other day, so I added in some music and here we go. Enjoy 2 minutes of Hamsters.



Hope you enjoyed a little glimpse into what I am up to

As Always, Stay Awesome my fellow Steemians!

Nice work! You're like the video version of myself, I do just audio, I'd love to get help with video sometime though!

Ahh yes, the audio portion I have not figure out all that well yet. I have logic pro X and am still learning my way around with it.

Hey at least you're using industry standard stuff! Logic is a great audio program for professional sound. If you ever have questions please feel free to ask, I know every nook and cranny in that program

Upvoted ☝ Have a great day!

Video and photo editing are two things I have never had the patients or the eye for. It takes an amazing amount of effort to make things look as wonderful as they do.

Thank you very much for sharing your process. It is always interesting to reading what others are up on business side of things and how they tackle it.

Funny thing is it isn't even business related. Yes, I adore seeing people do stuff too. I love seeing people edit pictures as I don't really have a photographic eye, but I love pictures. Also really cool watching people using music programs, let alone make and write music as it seems to be a bit harder for me. I definitely took to video editing and even photoshop a bit so it's been a trip.

You've been very busy as am I. Link up with me in steemit chat @elderson so I can email you the mp3 as they come out!

Gotcha! Looking forward to sharing your new one tonight.

You've been busy! Video projects can take so much work. Love the update. Good on ya for putting family first — that's important. :)

Thank you darling! Yes, family and most recently a bit of sleep has been taking a forefront and I am okay with that. Yes, video projects certainly can take a ton of work. It has been interesting, to say the least.

Wow, that's really impressive darling 😉 I understand that you've been busy and so interesting to get a glimpse of what you have been doing. Video editing is something I admire and you know so much and I honestly know nothing 😁 lol you Rock!
And so sweet of you to help others, that's what you always do. Love you soul sister 🤗😘

Yes, I have gotten busy but am getting into a rhythm of things so it should become more of a managed busy. Video editing is quite interesting and something I didn't know much about just over 6 months ago. New things just take a bit of patience and interest I suppose. Glad I get to share some of it though. You rock too my soul sister!

Yup, was wondering where u were:) wow, video editing is lots of work! Seems like youre doing a great job though! Keep it up @topkpop!

I figured a nice update was in order. I have been around but yes definitely less so. Yes, video editing can be a ton of work that is for sure. Thanks for your lovely encouraging words.

You go youuuuuuuu

Woot Woot! Ha! Love it. Thanks :)

Yes I can see u less on discord. But no prob is good you are doing your work. Thanks for sharing with us

Your welcome! It is often fun sharing the stuff I do.

You are doing nice work. You are very hardworking and I appreciate getting to know you

Thank you :) It has been nice getting to know you too.

Wow, that's a ton of work. The hamster video :D The music fits perfectly. Nice to meet you and thanks for welcoming me in Discord!

Haha, Thanks! Yeah it was a really quick like 2-minute video making job as most of mine tend to be better, but my daughter asked me to see it and I said "watch this, I can make it better". Needless to say she thoroughly enjoys it even more now. I love that you enjoyed the hamster video too.

That's a whole ton of things to be doing during the week, what little bit of video editing I do - it's time consuming and tricky and you are doing way more complicated stuff then I am! I never realised you had a YouTube channel - I'm going to go and hunt it down now so I can play some cool tunes while I work on my vlog.

Hope you were able to enjoy some tunes :)

Cool. I thought you were one of the smart people who can make all of that kinda stuff happen. :) Very interesting to see what is possible. Peace.

It is definitely a new skill for me over these past several months. Certainly cool to see what my first video looked like nearly 6 months ago and how different it all is now. It has been a journey but quite fun to do. I have a few things in my head I want to learn with it so we shall see where that takes me.

I think its cool that you can put all that together. There are a couple things I'm pretty good at but the technical stuff is not one of them. Thank you for the example and the very real support you have been to me these last couple months. I will tune in tonight if the family gets quiet. If not I will catch you on YouTube. Peace friend.

Beauty and brains! @topkpop Tedious work but very rewarding when it's all done and put together, right?! The video of the hamsters is adorable. The one in back tries to get away from the hyper one, only to fall flat on it's back. I think maybe it's time to get them an exercise wheel. My daughter went from having hamsters to chinchillas!

Lol..I watched that video on your YouTube channel..it was too cute!! Looks like a lot of work and I don't even know how you find the time to do it all!! xoxo
