A behind the scenes look at how I edit my videos, especially how I make them sound as good as I possibly can, as I'm self-taught in everything so my knowledge & expertise are limited. Besides, it's YouTube, so there's more leeway when it comes to the sound not being studio-quality than there would be with an album or movie (though in my mind I'm producing an album/movie/show). 00:00:00 Intro / Unedited Video & Audio 00:00:51 About This Video & Software I Use 00:02:25 Converting Audio from Mono to Stereo 00:07:33 Compressing the Audio (Dealing with Peaks) 00:11:09 Aligning the Audio & Video 00:17:55 Adjusting the Video Look - Levels, Saturation, Color 00:22:53 Adding Optional Audio EQ 00:30:51 Editing the Audio 01:08:51 Final Thoughts 01:10:29 More Audio Editing & Fade-out 01:13:05 Final Product / Example ASMR Video Website: https://ephemeralrift.com Thalmultaria: https://thalmultaria.net Channel Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/@EphemeralRift/playlists Instagram (Wildlife Photography) https://www.instagram.com/ephemeral.rift/ Instagram (Random) https://www.instagram.com/ephemeral.rift2/ Twitter https://twitter.com/ephemeralrift1 Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/ephemeralrift/ Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/6WJUD0ljiIwxmbEzpb4onm iTunes https://music.apple.com/us/artist/ephemeral-rift/602599265 Patreon https://www.patreon.com/ephemeralrift
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
