## Summary

The speaker shares six tips for maintaining consistency in content creation on YouTube, based on their experience of creating 96 videos in 2024. They emphasize that consistency, not greatness, is key to success.

### Key Points

- **Pre-production and Idea Generation** [01:05] — Generate ideas by keeping a notebook and using AI for assistance. Write out all ideas to get a bird's-eye view and decide which videos work best together.
- **Efficient Shooting** [03:42] — Outline key shots in pre-production to avoid overshooting, saving time and storage. Batch film multiple videos to reduce setup time.
- **File Management and Organization** [04:47] — Organize footage daily into separate folders per project, with subfolders for days and cameras. This saves hours during editing and makes it easy to find clips for repurposing.
- **Color Coordinating Clips** [06:23] — Color code clips on the timeline to create a visual roadmap, making the edit more digestible. For example, use different colors for introduction, middle, and talking segments.
- **Creating the Spine of the Video** [07:26] — First lay out dialogue or key clips (the spine), then add music and b-roll. This simplifies the editing process and saves time.
- **Maximizing Footage** [08:36] — Repurpose clips from YouTube videos for short-form content on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Frame shots centered to work for both horizontal and vertical formats.

### Conclusion

Consistency in content creation comes from working efficiently, not harder. By implementing these six tips—pre-production, efficient shooting, file organization, color coding, spine editing, and repurposing footage—you can maintain a steady output without burnout.

success isn't about greatness it's about
consistency consistent hard work leads
to success and greatness will come or J
aside if you want to be a Creator on
this platform and find some success in
that consistency is definitely the key
with that I'm sure that you felt that
creating consistent content might feel a
little bit impossible but you know in
2024 this year I have created 96 videos
yeah 96 videos so today I wanted to
share six tips that help me keep
organized and consistent with creating
content on YouTube and no I haven't lost
my mind yet so let's head to the office
and get into
[Music]
it okay we're going to get straight into
it and there's going to be a lot of
talking so if you're interested bring
out a notebook and Pen I'm sure there
will be a couple of ideas that you can
write down here we're going to get into
the first topic though which is
pre-production and idea generating being
consistent means that you have to create
a lot and creating a lot means that
you'll need to have a lot of things to
create so I like to sit down and
generate a bunch of ideas and pre-plan
some of those ideas into videos I've
noticed that the creative part of your
brain turns on at the most random times
especially when you're doing nothing
that's why I keep a notebook on me so I
can always jot down these ideas on onto
paper so I can turn these ideas into
something in the future even though I
nearly made 100 videos this year I am
also human and sometimes when I sit down
I don't really get the ideas coming to
me this is when I lean on AI for
assistance use AI as a form of support
in these moments to then generate ideas
which can help you come up with your own
ones from them now once you have those
ideas turning them into actual videos
takes a lot of effort and this is where
pre-production really helps now try this
out write out all your ideas on paper
this gives you Bird's ey view of your
possible videos from your ideas and you
can clearly see which videos will work
together and decide on the best approach
for filming and content flow proper
planning and organization gets you a
long way when it comes to video creation
and creating consistently can feel quite
overwhelming so I definitely recommend
you try this
out so I was just editing one of my
reals and I came across a problem I
wanted to create this short form video
to show case this new candle that I got
however I realized that after I filmed
that I didn't leave enough head room
above my head to leave any text in this
particular situation what I want to do
is expand the scene to allow more text
above my head and for this I'm going to
use adobe's generative expand the trick
here is I'm firstly going to take a
screenshot of the video and import it
into photoshop with the same resolution
of the video project and here I'm going
to Simply expand the scene as much as I
want here I'm going to use a simple
prompt just to expand the background now
after the the expansion I can use the
selection brush tool to manually adjust
any specific part of the image that I
think needs fixing this is perfect for
detailing or cleaning up any specific
areas that the expansion may have not
Blended perfectly now once we have done
this the second trick here is to export
this as a PNG file this will allow you
to Overlay your image or your new
background on top of your original video
and now I can complete this video by
adding the text above my head now this
is a situation I come across quite often
so having a tool as powerful as Adobe
Photoshop just ensures that you can
create the video exactly how you'd like
it even if you didn't shoot it perfectly
at that time it's important to remember
that the key to stay consistent is to
work efficiently not harder back to work
now the second point I want to talk
about today is being efficient while
shooting you've done your planning and
pre-production and now you at the point
where you are shooting your video my
personal video settings are quite heavy
and they take up a lot of space so when
I'm shooting I try to be as effective as
possible I don't want to overshoot
because firstly that takes up more time
but it also takes up more storage space
and when you're shooting consistently
storage space becomes a problem so while
I'm shooting I like to outline a few
certain key shots in the pre-production
phase so that when I'm shooting it's
very easy I know what I need and then
once I've shot it that's it it's done
I'm sure we are all very busy people so
saving time while shooting gives you
more time to then edit and do other
parts of the whole video creation
process another key tip for shooting
especially when creating reels is to
batch film your content let's say you
pre-produce three videos a series
perhaps and by batch filming these three
videos you're going to save time on
setting up and shooting again and you
can just edit all these three and then
schedule them for different days of
posting this might sound pretty obvious
but it is a great time saer now this
next tip is something that you should
definitely ingrain into your workflow
and it is file management and
organization I film things with my
camera my phone every single day and to
keep on top of things at the end of
every day I take SD card I put it in my
computer and I organize the footage
being meticulous in organizing your
footage will save you hours and hours of
time when it comes to it now how I do
this is I have a separate folder for
each project and within that folder I
have a footage folder which will then
separate into different days and the
different camera this way if I'm looking
for a specific file I know which camera
I shut it on I know which day I sh it on
and it'll be much easier to locate it
when I'm working in the editing software
having each folder separated into its
own category makes it ridiculously easy
to then edit chronologically as a lot of
my videos of Vlogs having a
chronological timeline makes a lot of
sense for me and if I don't need to
worry about putting the footage in the
correct order then this has already
saved me quite a bit of time now in this
project folder for everything else that
I need in my video there is definitely a
dedicated folder for it such as
screenshots and thumbnail pictures
overlays that I draw on my iPad
miscellaneous things music I'm sure you
get the idea another great thing about
organ izing your files correctly is that
sometimes I have to find a specific clip
from a previous video and when I need to
do that then I know where it is exactly
I think pulling clips from previous
video has a very high value especially
for returning viewers so I love doing
this in videos and I think it is a great
thing it might be a little tedious to do
this but once you ingrain this into your
workflow trust me you will thank
yourself later now that you have shot
your video and you have your files
organized the next step is of course
editing your video now there are a lot
of time saving editing tips out there
but I want to talk about one in
particular which is color coordinating
your Clips you can color coordinate your
Clips so that you create a visual road
map for yourself which will help you
when editing a video sometimes I find it
a bit intimidating when there is a lot
of footage especially when creating
longer form videos for YouTube so by
color coding the different clips on your
timeline for different sections makes
your whole edit a lot more digestible
for example let's say you're making a
vlog over a week There's an introduction
section where you're making coffee
there's a middle section where you're
out in the city doing something with
your friend and then at the end there is
a talking segment where you're back at
home chatting about some updates or
pickups I'd color code these different
colors on the timeline just so I know
when I'm looking at it at an overall
ground scheme there are three sections
and they're all separate so when it
comes to the next step of chopping the
footage up and sorting it into place
it's a lot easier to understand I also
make sure that the clips where I'm
talking to the camera the dialogue I
highlight these as they are the more
important parts of the video now I'll
give you another tip when it comes to
editing videos and for me personally
this is by creating the spine of my
video first not sure if there is a
proper term for this but I call it the
spine this is where you create the backb
of your video first if you have dialogue
Clips or crucial key points in the video
I've laid this out on the timeline first
sort out the music situation sort of
have an understanding of how the video
is going to flow before adding all the
b-roll Clips in between to then fill in
the gaps I've also heard this being
called a radio edit I personally think
that if you're editing chronologically
like a Vlog this will save you a lot of
time because that first step of editing
deciding how you want to create the
video is usually the hardest so just to
recap real quick when you have your
files organized you can easily import
them onto your video timeline and while
they're categorized are already you can
color coordinate them to different
colors so that you can understand what's
going on and from that you can then
create the spine of your video and then
you can insert everything else to then
create your video it sounds a little
complicated but this is how I simp
simplify my whole editing process to be
able to create videos consistently
without wasting too much time on the
actual edit now the last tip I want to
give you guys this is for the hustlers
out there this is for the people who
want to maximize their efficiency when
it comes to content creation and that is
effectively maximizing the footage that
you have shot now what I mean by this is
that if you've created videos for
YouTube for instance you can repurpose
the clips that you've already shot for
then posting on Instagram Tik Tok and
YouTube shorts you've already shot the
footage you've done the hard work you've
created a video already and from here
you can just select clips that will work
for a short form content and repurpose
them let's say you did a little unboxing
in your latest YouTube video you can
easily repurpose this to work for
Instagram reals and Tik Tok and YouTube
shorts this will give you four chances
for the same footage that you shot to
reach a larger audience now if you're
shooting horizontal videos and you
already know you're repurposing the
footage for Instagram and Tik Tok then
you know that when you filming the video
you can have everything framed and
centered so that when you repurpose it
for Instagram and Tik Tok everything is
going to be in that vertical frame as
well if you're doing that then you know
what's up when it comes to creating
consistently for Content creation you
don't need to give your soul away for
this it's about working effectively and
efficiently I have made so many videos
this year and I don't plan to stop so
hopefully if you've made it to this
point in the video you can take parts of
what I have said and apply it to your
own video creation process we discussed
a lot of things today my friends so if
you have any questions please let me
know in the comments below I'm sure I
will be able to help you there and other
than that hope you have a nice
productive day stay cretive friends
peace
