[00:00] faceless YouTube videos or really any brand videos like I'm doing right here, something that personally I hate. It was

[00:15] but that's really expensive and I was big YouTube operation. Now, by the end from start to finish. Now, for some

[00:29] Movavi for completely free at the link completely free version. I'll also show you do want to get full access. But

[00:44] which is $179 a year, with Movavi you suite including a screen recorder and if you do want to use another editor,

[00:59] apply to almost any video editor out very simple. It's straight to the point. super complicated editors like I tried

[01:13] will drive you crazy. So, it's really simple editor and there's a bunch of second. So, first things first, once we

[01:27] any of these tools right here. Now, if you don't, you can use other screen record your screen. However, the video

[01:40] incredibly great editor. So, we're going have the video editor pulled up, then we actually have a screen recording file

[01:53] editing right here. And this video is how to use my software TubeMagic. with your channel so you can actually

[02:06] to just making random entertainment video fits that specification. Now, if run or what types of videos to make, do

[02:18] niches that I recommend doing right now I posted before this one if you want to can work incredibly well and Movavi can

[02:30] once you have your clip right here, then timeline. Now, for a lot of faceless you're going to likely have a voiceover.

[02:44] directly into the screen recording since to record. However, if you used for recommend, it's incredibly good

[02:59] you use something like that, then you then import that directly into Movavi. you'll simply drag it down onto the

[03:12] well is that you can also turn your AI recognize the speech and turn it into these specifications and everything.

[03:26] but not for the entire video. I only introduction of your video to keep what we're going to go ahead and do is

[03:38] generate our auto subtitles. And there subtitles essentially playing throughout talking to. Now, this is a personal

[03:50] whole entire video because they think, sound on or if they're watching in would say just use YouTube's auto

[04:05] these in the videos. However, I do think first five or so seconds. Then, what you you want to start deleting them on, hold

[04:20] delete on your keyboard and it deletes the very beginning of your video. I'm first and foremost and then we can go

[04:32] later. So, let's go ahead and watch what we need to cut out. Hey, how's it showing you So, as you can see, I made a

[04:45] something we're going to be cutting out. is kind of zoom in on the timeline by can see this audio waveform right here

[04:57] is my good take right here. So, we're beginning of this and then we're going also click it directly here on this

[05:11] click control B on your keyboard. Then, because that's going to delete the clip timeline to the beginning. So, if we

[05:25] right place and let's take a look. Do is to use That's perfect. Now, we're and see where any mistakes are and cut

[05:39] timeline and you can see where there's cut out. And we can click space on the keyboard here to play. scripts about

[05:53] there. So, we will cut that because I we'll cut that right there. And again, about big top 10 futuristic type

[06:08] that we need to go ahead and delete. video deleting any mistakes. Obviously, unless you don't like the sound of

[06:23] do. sitting in front of a camera or if doing screen recording videos, there are

[06:35] cut out. Now, a pure screen recording usually you want to do some things to to do here is to actually crop this

[06:49] bookmark bar here and it looks a little be showing TubeMagic, which is the crop. And there is an AI auto crop,

[07:03] you have a 16 by 9 clip, which is a it to be a vertical or vice versa, that pleasing. But for this, I'm just going

[07:17] simple crop. We all we literally want to do here is to drag this what is going to be showing on there.

[07:30] And then we just click apply and now we note as well, if we for example wanted recording the audio directly onto my

[07:45] improve it, what we can do is go ahead detach audio. What that will do is put allow you to adjust anything that you'd

[08:01] tools here is if you double-click this, What this will do is get out rid of any audio, sometimes the audio's going to

[08:14] unpleasant sound for people listening to consistent. And also, if you have audio all of that. And now, what if AI could

[08:29] Well, it turns out it actually can to a say you have some more mistakes here at use this tool that cuts out any silence.

[08:43] you can see, it cut out any extended them. And this will keep your video so you'll have to manually take out any

[08:58] silences that will keep your video so point, which will keep people engaged a transitions as well. I don't use

[09:11] Really, my most used transition is on my channels straight cut. And that's due to the fact

[09:25] and keeping the point of the video the that you want to get out there out crazy fancy editing or anything else in

[09:38] given, you know, the level of editing Make Money Matt." And that's true, but But you can do all of those things

[09:52] get access to different effects if you for faceless YouTube videos or for the going to be running. However, what is

[10:05] And this is going to be titles. I periodically throughout your video due you're running a space channel and

[10:19] name that's kind of hard to pronounce. title up on the screen. Let's say you're action on where they can access TubeMagic

[10:33] title that says tubemagic.com so people can simply drag in this title right here put tubemagic.com and we can change the

[10:49] right there like so. We can also even and what I really like about Movavi is title and then fades out by default as

[11:03] little touches like this that allow you using another editor, you would have to everything. It takes a lot of time. But

[11:15] you can go ahead and use [music] here. we've applied audio editing tools and all of those attributes to another clip.

[11:31] copying where you can copy all of your tweaks and everything else directly from if you forget to do it to one clip, you

[11:43] to spice up your videos a lot is to have at least just at the very beginning in instance, I generated this Seedance 2.0
