LFG LADIES N GENTS! This has been a long time coming, my first ever course, I’m super excited to be sharing this with y’all. I just batch exported all of the videos and now they’re all rendering on Adobe Media Encoder, and will be done later tonight. Once they’re exported, I will need to upload them to YouTube and then that’s when I can share them inside of the classroom with y’all. This is going to be the best free course you’ve ever taken around editing and I can almost guarantee that. For the editors who are starting out making little to no money, or even those who are already making money and want to learn how to make thousands a month, this course goes through exactly how to do that. The goal of this course is to get as many editors as possible to start making money online ASAP, and this course is designed to do just that. Editing is difficult, and making money as an editor can be difficult, but my goal for this course was to make it as easy as possible and tell you exactly how to find success. I’m not sure when it will be fully released (100% very very soon) but just know I’m in the final stages, and I’m super excited for you all to go through it 🙏 Much love, Norman

When it comes to getting views on YouTube, high retention is KEY 🔑 Whether you’re an educational channel or you’re a pure entertainment based channel, here’s a guide with actionable tips to help you edit videos that keep viewers engaged from start to finish. ////////////////////////////////// For Educational Channels 📚 1. Hook Viewers in the First 10 Seconds 🕒 - Start with a compelling question, bold statement, or quick preview of what they’ll learn. Get straight to the value to avoid drop-offs. - Use on-screen text or graphics to emphasize key points immediately. - Use the Proof, Promise, Plan framework for hooks. (Give proof and establish credibility that you can teach the subject. Make a promise of what viewers will learn. Then present a plan for how you’ll deliver the promise). 2. Break Down Information with Visual Effects 💻 - Add diagrams, animations, or infographics to simplify your content. Use motion graphics to keep the visuals engaging. - Show Don’t Tell. As much as possible you want to be showing the viewer what you’re saying, not just telling them. 3. Pacing is Key ⏩ - Cut out all the dead space in between sentences. Unless you want a moment to feel slower, cut out the pauses. - Alternate between talking heads and B-roll to keep things changing. - Don’t dwell too long on any one point. When you’ve made your point, try to move on sooner than later. 4. Constantly Open A Loop After Closing a Previous Loop ♻️ - Just like the thumbnail and title, you want to constantly create curiosity gaps in the video. - Open a loop by asking a question that viewers will want to know the answer to. - Then as you begin to close the loop by answering the question, raise another question that builds upon the previous loop and opens another curiosity gap (so 🔑). 5. End with a Strong Call-to-Action (CTA) 🔚 - Transition into the CTA by acting like you’re making another point, and opening another curiosity loop. - This could be a teaser for the next video, a question to spark comments, or a direct prompt to subscribe.

Here’s a video I just finished editing yesterday for Ireland Boys Productions. Link: https://youtu.be/pdkLwrqJT_E?si=2xRUZaJpkgwuSHZ_ This is probably one of my favorite edits because of all the effects and things I did to spice the video up. I did some 3D camera animations and made a custom tier list that I was able to animate and play around with. I’m gonna do a personal breakdown for y’all but for now, watch this video and let me know if you have any questions, feedback, or anything that you noticed you can apply to your videos that I did. I did everything from cutting to effects to sound design to ask any question you have and I can answer it 💯 Love y’all 🫶🏼 - Norman
