welcome to the travel path podcast hello welcome it's great to be here thank you for having us yes you guys are reporting all the way from England and this has been a long time coming I think we reached out about 3 months ago had a couple of reschedules and issues with RV which I'm sure we'll get into later on in the episode but we know you as the viager feeling on Instagram and on YouTube you guys have some incredible content all over the world the Eastern side of the globe there's places that we have never seen or heard of before and the wildlife content and the Drone content it's literally like National Geographic it's crazy I encourage people to go check out your channel after this podcast is over why don't we start by having you share a little about yourself and then letting us know what your current travel lifestyle looks like so at the moment we are traveling in our Mo home um we're trying to see as many places in Europe or around the world as possible and we started off by we just sold everything and just went for our dreams didn't we yeah we do a lot of um hiking and uh Mountain climbs and we thought that would tie in brilliantly with our travels so went for it awesome yeah and one of the videos I remember we saw in the thumbnail on it is amazing but it's the ladder hike you did in Austria where it looks like you're literally hiking a ladder to the sky it's crazy I'm sure we'll be talking about that later on the episode but um you quit your jobs you're 9 to five what did your work life looked like when you were traveling uh when we're traveling so it's it's we got pretty hectic lifestyle haven't we because we're doing the hikes that sometimes take eight hours with the filming um and then all the other things like filling up water getting places to stay so we for a while were nonstop I think that we probably went even maybe two or three months without even having like a proper day off to stop um and then there was a couple of times when we did hikes and we're like right we haven't got enough footage or it's not exactly what we want so we went back and redid these hikes and we've talked about it in some of our other videos but yeah we're just nonstop yeah I mean we've we've been up mountains twice because more because of me because I think the footage isn't good enough so I have to drag her along to come up it again so well that's good that'll make you guys expert on those Trails right and travel is a full-time it's a full-time job with you know dealing with the rig and planning where you're going and doing a hike once or twice so yeah we told this to each I told this to you hope last night when you're watching your videos it looked like like it probably took you three times longer to hike that trail those mountains than it would take a normal person because you were putting cameras down you were stopping to do Drone footage so there's a lot and you just said you did it twice so yeah um so in terms of work so you weren't like working remotely for another company you were working it sounded like it was more vlogging you were trying to grow your YouTube channel and do that so we can relate to that quite a bit it sounds like our path where we saved up we weren't working for anybody else we wanted to explore this new desire this new dream of doing vlogging and YouTube and travel vlogging full-time um cuz we had seen when we were planning our trip channels that were doing that it looked like a realistic thing to do so we got into that and we enjoyed it quite a bit so what were your expectations getting into YouTube and travel vlogging and so far has the channel lived up to them it's been it's been very difficult to um get subscribers and views on YouTube but we've come across really hasn't it yeah and I think we thought it was going to be a lot easier and um same with you guys you do a lot of filming and more not not so much vlogging where there's a lot of channels out there that do vlogging and that's great but the difference between vlogging and getting real cinematic uh nature shots is completely different so we're we're out there filming a lot longer and bless Mike honestly sometimes he'll wake up at 8: a.m. start editing and he's still on the computer until like 10 p.m. um but we really thought that it would take off quicker and like you said some of the bigger channels you think oh wow like they've put out some of these videos and they got so many subscribers yeah he just think it'll be a lot easier I think um and it isn't it isn't easy and um yeah YouTube's difficult because you kind of just get lost within the millions and millions of people that use it and yeah it's difficult isn't it to to to get anywhere with YouTube I think we're not actually currently monetized um so we're still looking to build up watch time and we've got a long way to go still haven't so and I think we also wanted to really stick away from and we we talk about this a lot we wanted to stay away from the click baiting yeah we just didn't want to I mean We've joked about it a few times and we're like no that's not being true to ourselves we don't want to go down that route and I know there's some channels that do it but we just wanted to completely stay away from that and yeah well I really appreciate appreciate your honesty here sharing the difficulties of YouTube because you already see a lot of channels and I think it's difficult on two fronts you mentioned the editing it just takes a long time just to get a video done but at the same time once that video is done there's the difficulties in having it grow and there's just so much competition but going that back to that first point how much time would you say your videos are anywhere between like 10 25 minutes long how much time does it take to do a video I think your videos take longer than ours just based on watching them it looks like the editing is done like on the next level but I almost came to the conclusion it was give or take like an hour per minute every minute the video was it took like an hour to make somewhere somewhere around that maybe even longer sometimes sometimes I'll do a few minutes and then I'm just not happy with it and I'll scrap it and redo the whole thing again or I'll change the music to it because I'm not happy with the music yeah so then it even it takes even longer to get those minutes back yeah um but yeah it for me it takes long time I think I'm more because um I'm never really happy with a lot of the footage I get I want I I try to make it perfect but I I feel as if it never is perfect if that makes sense so uh too much of a perfectionist I say you're your toughest critic right it's tough to be you can't be perfectionist yeah that makes it tough and then sometimes after it goes live you'll watch it and you'll after viewing it and editing it a thousand times you're like why did I leave that in yeah yeah yeah yeah I think it's been amazing though like the and I'm sure you guys that the comments that come in and then you just think okay this is really like it's worth it to meet so many new amazing people and to yeah have people compliment your your work and yeah and that's what's quite nice about YouTube is that you you get to meet new people and and really nice great people and you don't really get that opportunity in life very often especially not in the UK really yeah sure especially people that share that same interest right in the travel and the hiking it's it's nice to build that own Community around something that you really enjoy exactly yeah yeah did you have any video editing or vlogging experience before you started pursuing this we didn't have any uh vlogging experience um to be honest one of our first movies we we made we found it quite difficult to talk to a camera and we didn't really know how to do it or what to say and with video editing uh when I was um probably around 12 years old till 15 years old I used to do a lot of um skateboarding and I had one of the latest versions of um Adobe Premier Pro it was a 7.0 version yeah so was a very old version and I used to record and um document skate skateboarding movies so that's where I kind of learn a lot of how to use um professional editing software and uh cameras as well how to use how to manage video cameras what cameras do you use when you're vlogging now and what's the editing software you're using uh so we use um ad do Premier Pro we use um a GoPro 10 is that right GoPro 10 and then you've got your drone haven't you yeah so I've got a a Maverick uh free um DJI mavic free Drone and a uh Canon R5 uh camera I think we're looking to get some while we're in England get some more different cameras yes so we want to get a a 360 yeah uh camera for when we hike and things like that yeah because when we're climbing sometimes it's a little bit hard to hold the GoPro and climb so I think we want to see different types of equipment what would be better for us and we going back to that expectation and we picked up the Canon R7 we were about I think 10 days into a road trip and we had we were having the time of our lives we were on Cloud 9 we were basically we we we were enjoying the vlogging part we were seeing some amazing things so we and we knew like our channel is just going to take off once we get back and start uploading content so we bought the Canon R7 fast forward to when we are actually editing content and uploading content to YouTube you know you post one video doesn't really take off you post second one third one then you we would look back and see how the video was performing like one of the first like epic video we did was Badlands National Park we go and check on it not only did it not really do much but then there were like three or four other videos that got posted that week in that area and they were all equally as good that moment there we kind of learned oh there's a lot of competition out there and we never saw ourselves as having like the hundreds of thousand subscribers but we figured maybe that 10,000 or so range and you know make it enough for it could be worth a while and you know make some money off it maybe have it you know provided an income source for a next trip something like that but it's been um it's it's definitely taken its time for sure what advice would you have for yourself if you were starting over in doing this again maybe just it's going to take a while so be patient and I think really reaching out to other people has really helped um with the YouTube Not only just to make friends but to get to know other people's channels and to kind of yeah maybe I would like to add that a little bit and kind of yeah little bits here and there and and yeah it's a really hard one I think it probably depends on what kind of Channel you are because I feel like some Channel some topics really take off and some are a lot harder to get into really so it's time and patience and yeah I think like Mike said at first we weren't sure if we wanted to be completely vlogging or we wanted to be cinematic so maybe the first couple of videos It's finding out where you want to be without being really wishy-washy if that kind of makes sense did you spend a lot of time looking at the analytics on YouTube uh we didn't at first no not at first we didn't um but then yeah we at one point we got start getting really obsessive with it um but now we just kind of take a step back um and just let it do whatever it does now um yeah we we started becoming quite obsessive with trying to build our Channel and yeah it was almost become depressing because it's almost like well why isn't this working and we put so much time so much money and so much effort into this and we're not getting anywhere and then in the end you just got to think you know let it do whatever you want to do we're still having a great time and that's what it's really about is the experience as opposed to doing it for other people I guess yeah you'll have those memories forever you'll have that footage to go back and look at it in a few years you're being your authentic self you're figuring out how you want to make these movies and I think that's one of the most important things is the process can be challenging but enjoy it along the way yeah definitely but yeah we were on the same page look just glued we spent a couple of weeks just Glu to the analytics we listen to you know the podcast or we listen we read the book YouTube secrets we tried to implement all these things and you it sounded it seemed like you would hear like 10 different things from 10 different people right one person or one thing we're listening to is it's it's that first 302 retention rate so we'd look at that we try and change our retention rates and then we would see that you know some of our like one of our worst performing videos there was a video at theore Roosevelt National Park had an insanely High retention rate after like 30 seconds but it flopped it didn't have any good views and then like same thing with thumbnails we would try doing thumbnails and you can drive yourself crazy like doing analytics and yeah it gets to a point where it's just like I said you kind of take a step back let it do its thing as long as you're having a good time you know you just keep plugging away keep chugging yeah I think I got to a point like every morning I wake up and like do we have any more subscribers what is our watch time on have you ever seen your videos decrease um uh watched uh with views we have yeah yeah with views we have which is strange yeah yeah that's we had one video was like 134 views and then it was at 94 I was like what that's crazy I think that's the point we like you know what we're just going to let this do its thing yeah yeah at the moment we're we're seeing our um watch time go down um because it's been a year now with our other movies it's kind of the watch times battling against each other with the the new content we're releasing and with the old content that's being lost with watch time yeah we're lucky we don't have the subscribers yet but like we had we have one video our VOR video that has like 4,000 hours of watch time everything else is like not near that so we have the watch time because of that one video but everything else if we didn't have that we'd still be behind on watch time and the subscribers obviously we're at like 700 or so now it's like one video and it took off out of nowhere like we it was on YouTube for like a year and then all of a sudden it just like was getting subscribers and Views and watch time and so you never know when something's going to go viral yeah well thank you guys for sharing I think this is an important episode for somebody looking to get into whether full-time or part-time they want to explore travel vlogging um I think this sets a very realistic expectation on on what to expect and I encourage you to check to check out if you're looking to get into traveling full-time and vlogging full-time to check out Chelsea and Mike's channel the viager feeling and just see how their content is it's incredible content and those are the types of channels like they mentioned it didn't take off like they expected it to but if you were to compare that to any other channel that is I mean the quality is there so there's you need to set like those realistic expectations we can I guess move on a little bit into so the actual travel aspect so rewinding a little bit before you took your travel I know you were traveling for quite a while before you took this long trip but you did quit your job 9 to5 how long did it take you to come to the conclusion that you wanted to quit your job and then pursue this traveling full-time I think you had the you thought about it first really didn't you for for a long time Mike was thinking about it even before we were together um and I was a little bit like maybe maybe not um and I think we kind of just went to it we saw our van when when we went to look at her and we were like right this is the van this is what we want it's got everything we need kind of went from there didn't it yeah we just jumped yeah it just kind of like what's it like spiraled and we were like okay we're ready let's go yeah we didn't plan much we just went when it's a raid it's right you know so fast forwarding when you actually got on the road what were some of the big frustrations you faced while traveling finding places to uh Park and to sleep over I think um because we've traveled lots of different countries and I must say England's one of the hardest places where we went to Scotland first to find somewhere to stay and not kind of be moved on it's such a small place and so many motor homes and Van go over there um that was really quite difficult wasn't it it was yeah um and it all depends on we we found whatever season it is it's especially summer months it's very difficult to travel in in some countries we like to stay off grid quite a lot and um not have to pay for campsites as much but in the south of Germany we had to pay every night for a campsite because you just can't sleep in layb uh they move you on um so you actually have to go to a csite yeah and I think also starting was it's kind of knowing our routine like how often are we going to need to fill up water um how often do we just getting like how often do we do these things or go shopping or yeah it's just getting into a routine where you don't have a house you don't have a full fridge or a toilet you don't have to empty and it's just getting to know all the new different aspects of a motor home life I think yeah when you were traveling beforehand so I know you were hiking and doing epic things before you got into your motor home were you traveling in a motor home or was this your first time in a motor home when you started going full-time first time first time really wow yeah you guys are brave we didn't know anything about motor homes really did we and we we bought one and had to learn everything about it yeah uh and obviously YouTube and things like this helped us out um I feel like we've been doing it for a year and a half and we're only just feel like we're just ticking all the boxes now because it's there's always something that Springs up and you think oh I didn't think about that um maybe we should get this instead and yeah one one thing for me was the um what I found difficult was um uh gas cylinders and so we bought British gas cylinders with um e EU adapters so we could refill our gas cylinders uh the problem is with um the in the UK we have a uh a leftand frad and everyone else has a right-and frad if I say or vice versa um so the adapts they sent us I didn't check them and we went away and I went to screw this thing on and it didn't work um so I couldn't refill the bottles so then we had to get gas bottles from France and then we went to Spain and I had to get new gas bottles for Spain new gas bottles for Portugal with the adapters as well so we spent a fortune continually buying new gas bottles and new gas uh cylinder attachments and pipes as well um that was quite frustrating wasn't it we now buy French gas cylinders only cuz France is kind of in the middle of all the places we visit anyway but yeah that was a that was a massive frustration for us wasn't it to begin with Lefty tidy ready Lucy is a thing I never would have guessed that in the RV you bought Luna that was a 19-year-old motor home did you have any experience well I know you did a lot of work renovating yourself but there were issues you had some dampness you had mice in your RV would you do that again would you buy a 19-year-old motor home if you starting this over again was there more work involved in upkeeping than you expected I feel like more things went wrong than we expected but I think talking to other motor homers it is just what happened there's some someone we talked to they had a fiveyear motor home five-year old motor home and they had damp problems as well so I think sometimes it is pot luuck we were really lucky because the people we bought the motor home off they were only the second owners and the first owners were their parents and unfortunately the gearbox went on Luna before we bought it so they had to pay out for that but I think which is quite an expense as you probably know anyone to buy a motor home I think you just have to have these things are probably going to go wrong at some point um and also if you to buy anything newer we wouldn't have been able to travel really because we didn't have the money to buy anything newer yeah it's difficult because we couldn't buy anything brand new yeah we only I mean we only spent um 20,000 on our motor home and if we would to put another 10,000 into it I can imagine it would only have knocked off a few more years whereas we could have had boiler issues again fridge issues again uh damp issues um yeah it's difficult to predict it is difficult to predict I we bought brand new and we had a long list of issues that happen with us so you and I think as an RV owner you have to expect it one thing I learned from Matt's RV reviews on YouTube he talked about how you're literally driving this thing through hurricanes and earthquakes and tornadoes you're going down the road bumpy roads things are going to happen so just be prepared for issues and you touched on overnight sleeping and that's that is one of the challenges just to kind of Link this back to the United States that's one thing during our road trip we faced was overnight camping and sleeping and that's one thing we did not expect to have to deal with was like several nights we were trying to find a place to stay and in episode 9 we talked with lanaa and Tequila she mentioned she has zero issues finding places to sleep and she's full-time in her van and the reason for that is because she's more remote we were going to more more destination National Park touristy areas and she recommended apps like onx eye Overlander in the dirt where she find her places to stay so that was a challenge if you're looking to do a cross country trip or an RV trip in the United States it can be tough but if you're a little more remote you can find places to to stay yeah that's good all right so we talked about some of the bad news and the frustrations we'll switch to some of the good news what do you love most about your travel lifestyle uh I feel just being bit more free I yeah seeing all these amazing places and but it's really funny so we obviously love mountains and as we were driving to the German Alps we were both like oh my God oh my God look at these Mountains they're massive um we because in England there are lots they're pretty small mountains that we have um so yeah just being free and kind of yeah just being it's just freedom and um kind of being out of the system more um yeah and and it's almost true living where you live to survive rather than you live to you live to work to get money to survive if that makes sense um and one of the coolest things too is when you're traveling you know in our age group right you you can do so much more right A lot of people that take these extended trips to go to Europe to go cross country and see the national parks in the USA you know they do that as a retirement goal and so they're just going to those overlooks and they're seeing the mountains and they're beautiful but they're not climbing up them like you and you guys are doing that now which I think is probably one of the most freeing things is that you have the capabilities to not just travel but experience it in a way that most people don't yeah and that's that's the the very reason why we did it our at our age now because we knew that once we retire we wouldn't be able to do all the things we enjoy um so ex exactly the reason why we just took took our opportunity and it's a big thing selling your home and not having anywhere to live apart from a motor home but um yeah it you you only get this opportunity once in my opinion and just got to go for it yeah we've met so many people along the road saying oh we wish we did it with we were your age and and I'm not so sure so much with your situation but we we don't have kids or we don't have animals and no one's really relying on us so let's take the opportunity while we don't have um so many yeah I'm not sure what the word is yeah people to yeah yeah that's it yeah y yeah we're in the exact same phase where we don't have those commitments and we met people on our trip they asked us how we could do it we we got asked enough s by people wondering how we were able to do this we wanted to start this podcast and share with people and you know we're in the same position we pursued this travel vlogging thing got a taste for it so far it hasn't met the expectations that you know either of us wanted it to but we're young we're we can bounce back you know we're hard workers we can find other ways to make money while we're still pursuing this and then you know keep chipping away yeah y good we'll switch gears a little bit to the financial part of traveling full-time what does your budget look like um Jo it's really bad uh first couple of months we kind of we didn't really keep on top of a lot of things I think we were just so excited we were like yeah let's go do this let's go do that and I have now made us a little uh a chart to keep on top of what we do for leisure what we spend on food yeah like Financial spreadsheets things like that a lot of ours was on petrol or diesel to start with because we were doing long distance um runs but also depending on what country you go to so we just went through Bosnia and it was super cheap um and we had come from Austria and Germany so it was like two totally different sides of the spectrum so anywhere really between maybe 400 to a thousand depending on where we are and how he's laugh sounds bad when we've got no money coming in I think in a year and a half we' probably spent over 30 grand yeah we've had we've had a lot of work with our boiler and now our fridge is gone and oh I haven't included those oh theist go I mean 30,000 just traveling with food and pounds 30,000 yeah uh probably 45,000 I don't know a lot closer now I think the pound and the I'm not sure work out the lifestyle you're living traveling fulltime the biggest expense is fuel diesel fuel in your case because you're driving a lot and that's been the pattern where people who are driving a lot their biggest expense is fuel versus if you're more stationary you're still traveling fulltime but you're staying in places longer it's groceries it's other expenses yeah but either way I mean we've we've tried to budget a lot um like we don't go to many restaurants um and spend out big bits of cash we do kind of we always go to discount supermarkets and yeah so we've we've tried to budget as much as we can yeah our next time out is going to be very limited like do we really need to go to that place or is it just because we want to go um are we going to benefit from it and it's great that obviously we love going to the mountains because it doesn't really cost that much no but we did go a little crazy in our first couple months and spent a lot of money yeah but I think you have to prepare for the first couple of months to just know that like you get in that mode of like I need to do everything I need to go everywhere I need to experience the food the culture the activities um and that does wear off as you travel a little bit more you do hone into that budget but I think we're who wherever you start however long you're going just expect that first few weeks few days few months to just you know be where the bulk of your money goes yeah that's a tip we learned from Jim and Michelle from airst streamer a couple episodes back where yeah it was that honeymoon phase the first couple months they didn't budget they just wanted to see what it was and then they were like okay we need to tame this down a little bit and a really good tip we learned from Dylan way back in episode one was in terms of fuel cuz fuel is your biggest expenses looking at Google Maps seeing how far you're driving and then adding like 50% to the miles like when we did our cross country trip we planned it was a it was a 10,000 M trip and we planned for like 11,000 Mi for some reason we didn't think we'd be driving that much in between you know going back and forth national parks and we ended up driving like 1,000 mil so it's almost 50% a little bit more than what Google Maps tells you as what your route is yeah that's good advice how do you get internet and cell service when you're traveling we have a a net gear modem a travel one which um requires a telephone SIM card our Sim we we carry free SIM cards two for each one of our phones and then one for this internet box that we have and our plan um pretty much covers uh all of the EU for free unlimited data unlimited text unlimited calls so we bought quite big packages um I think your edit the editing on the computer takes quite a lot of data so yeah want a a big data plan yeah so we've got like this uh Netgear night talk it's called and it's pretty good it it get it pretty much gets internet anywhere doesn't it um where our phones get it it will it will manage to get internet somewhere yeah and I bought like a little uh signal booster to it like an antenna as well which you plug in yeah works really well nice we'll put a link in the show notes for everything we talked about in today's show a couple more questions before you wrap everything up what has been the coolest experience you guys have had while traveling I think I don't know I think you love Japan didn't you was it your coess experience I think so yeah so we had to uh we to see Mount Fuji and it took us four trips up 200 sets of stairs to see finally see it because it had was just covered in clouds and it was really lovely the the time that we saw it cuz we had been there like you said our fourth time there was a whole crowd of people everyone was there for hours and all of a sudden it just decided to to show up and yeah so to be able to see that like a day or so before we fly home was pretty amazing yeah Japan was a a beautiful place and I've always wanted to to visit all my life and it was just it was magical to be able to go in the um cherry blossom season as well and yeah it was just the the people there are are great people they're really polite and it was it was one of the best places we've ever been yeah yeah it was very different awesome you guys have a video on that we'll Link in the show notes as well after spending so much time traveling what is one thing you've learned that you cannot live without I know it sounds really silly but probably my phone and I know it sounds very like um techno I would say it's your hair dryer I don't use my hair dryer H my phone because we do so much on it it's it's networking with people on YouTube it's our navigation it's booking places yeah yeah yeah it's true and like I never want because we want to be free I never want to say technology I rely on it so much but it does so much for us with anything else there almost there almost always a way around something you know if your shower breaks go into a lake or whatever it might be yeah um but yeah to be able to to navigate and book places and uh find the correct information for the places you want to visit or hike um yeah we'll probably be quite lost without our phones yeah without that information yeah without the internet I guess was there anything that you thought you would need while you were traveling that you realized that you really didn't I probably wouldn't take so so many clothes so I took a lot of um items to keep me busy so I took uh like a German no it wasn't German it was a French book to learn how to speak French but you're so busy when you're on the road whether it's filling up water or um going shopping or just cleaning yeah we thought we'd have a lot more time didn't we to kind of Doss around and yeah I thought it'd be more hippie-ish where we could kind of just lay around and not do so much but it is is constantly on the go there's always something to do or it's not it's it's not a holiday it's traveling in a at home I mean it's not relaxing no no not as relaxing as we thought it was going to be yeah if you could have listened to this podcast when you were first starting out on your road trip what is one question you wish I asked today and how would you answer that now when did you know was the right time to travel um so a lot I get asked this quite a lot we get asked this quite a lot and I honestly feel like there isn't always the right time to travel it's whether it goes in with your lifestyle or not at any age you can travel whether you're older um and you just want to kind of go around the cities or you're our age and you want to hike the mountains yeah the right time to travel is whenever the right time to travel is for you but I would always say make sure you've got enough money to back whatever you need to do because something can always go wrong like with us the boiler or the fridge um it ate into our traveling expenses and to really plan as much as possible so the first time we went out we didn't plan all of our stops um and it was really quite confusing and um it was just really hectic because we're like well should we go here or should we go there but the second time we came to Europe we had everything pinned on the map like okay well today we're going to do this and then in a few days we're going to go to this place and it just made everything so much easier I mean we found ourselves driving halfway down one country and then looking up on the map and being like well actually we've missed a place then we'd have to go back up again to come back down again and it was just really messy and it consumed quite a lot of fuel as well say yeah I think that's a really good point too is sometimes you in one spot and you have the next point that you're headed to but sometimes you have to take that step back and actually look and say okay what's right here where I am right now cuz there's a ton of times where we drove you know hundreds of miles out and I was like oh shoot you know that thing was actually way back there that we were 10 minutes away from and so taking that time too to just slow down look at your surroundings and where you are right now before you worry about you know what's the next point on your map and going back to just jumping in not that we're advising you know you jump in if you're not financially ready to live on Road it depends on your tolerance like we wanted a foundation where we had enough saved up where we could take this trip and it sounds like you and I were on the same page in this road trips everybody we've talked to they're more expensive than people think they're going to be you know be smart about it go through expenses listen to this podcast and hear what other people talking about how much they're spending on things like that do as much preparing as you can and then you know get into it and get out there and go see these amazing things for somebody listening to this podcast right now who would like to set up a lifestyle similar to yours what is one thing they could start doing today similar to what you just said like um I would never put myself in debt um for this lifestyle I would always make sure you've got enough um savings and enough information on how to pursue the travel lifestyle and yeah it all depends on what your interests are and yeah I just I just always like kind of recommend anyone to not go into debt for this life stuff it's so much more difficult coming home and I think for us like maybe going back thinking okay let's put x amount of money to one side in case there is an emergency before we went traveling we didn't do that um so always have like a little Safety Net in case something does go wrong whether it's medical or it's the vehicle you're in or the hotel or whatever it is so you've always got that little bit of emergency pot in case anything does happen yeah mainly money get great were there any YouTube channels or books or other influences that got you onto this path to travel I think we came across um someone called Ryan Shirley and he covers when he goes to each country he really covers um the really important things so it's he just says this is a great place this is a great place it's like top top 20 places to visit in each country um yeah it just really gets to the point doesn't it because sometimes we we're looking on Google or however we're trying to find the best places to go to and we might go to his channel and be like oh we we missed that that looks like an amazing place to go to and now like meeting other people especially like we definitely want to go to America like that's how dream was to get Luna to America so definitely American YouTubes have been amazing for us and we've started making a list be like oh we want to go to this state to do this and awesome all right we we'll uh we'll link some of those channels you had mentioned in our show

Welcome back to another episode of Hybrid Ministry. My name is Nick. I am your host today drinking out of my work Cross Creek Students coffee mug. You gotta be on YouTube. See this? Nick Clason (00:22): Mm. Nick Clason (00:23): It's from a Keurig, so it's super mid. Anyway, uh, we are going to be rounding out our third and final, um, Adobe tutorial session. So once again, if you're listening, this is going to be a better one for you to watch. Um, all of that's uploaded to my YouTube. Oh, sorry about that. All that's uploaded to my YouTube channel. So hit the link in the show notes for that. Um, go subscribe, go light, go do all the things. Those things help us a lot. Um, all that being said, um, we have done a long form Adobe, uh, premiere Pro editing. We've done some short form video stuff. Um, and then finally we are gonna round out today with Adobe Photoshop. So I'm gonna make two graphics that I'm going to use in our student ministry pre-roll and I'll just wanna give you a step-by-step tutorial on how to do those. Nick Clason (01:12): Um, the benefit of using Photoshop and Adobe Premier Pro, in my estimation, I've never really used Final Cup Pro or any of the other ones, so I can't speak for those. But the benefit is that when you make a layer in Adobe Photoshop and you bring it into Adobe Premier Pro, you can animate it, you can move it around. And if you need to make adjustments and changes, you just need to go back to your original source file of Adobe Photoshop, change it, and it's changed. You don't have to render it out in a final form thing like A P N G. Um, but keeping it just in that Photoshop file will allow it to be, um, edited and used in Adobe Premiere Pro. So all that to be said, if you've not seen our other videos, go back and look. This video might actually be the best video to start with, like editing videos, one thing, but then animating layers and on top of it via Adobe Photoshop is gonna be what this one's all about. Nick Clason (02:03): And so if you don't have photo, a basic Photoshop skill yet, then maybe start here. Episode 56, go back to episode, uh, 53 and 54. Uh, in the meantime, 55 if you didn't know was our one year celebration. And so that was just kind of a rehash on what is hybrid, why are we passionate about it, and why do we keep doing it? So be sure to check all that stuff out. Finally, I got a couple freebies for you in the show notes, free ebook and free Adobe Premiere Pro, um, animations effects. So go grab either one of those and uh, leave us a like rating, review, subscribe, all the things. Thanks for hanging out. Let's jump in. Nick Clason (02:45): All right, so you are seeing my desktop. Now this is what it looks like if you open up Adobe Photoshop. It's gonna start with a screen that looks something like this. I'm gonna click here, new file. And we are going to make a graphic about our upcoming event called Space Jam. So the width that you want is 1920 by 10 80. If you're going wide screen, if you are going um, vertical, um, you're gonna want 10 80 by 1920. But we are going wide screen. These are your pixels, 1920 by 10 80. The resolution that you want is 72. Um, if you were gonna go for like a print piece, um, you want 300 and if you're gonna go for a print piece, you're gonna wanna switch it from RGB to C M Y K. Those are different color coding things. I don't know a ton about that, but I used to work with a guy who printed banners and that's what he told me. Nick Clason (03:39): So I'm gonna go with him. Um, shout out to Eber, Cincinnati, Ohio. Anyway, uh, RGB is uh, what you want for a screen and that's what we're gonna be doing these for. And uh, the rest of this stuff I am not that worried about. You can click into those. Those are just some advanced options. So any, anyway, we're gonna hit create. So here we go with a completely blank Photoshop canvas. Now, oh, um, so what we're gonna do is, um, I am going to grab, um, a photo. And so I'm gonna go over here and all of my photos are saved in an Amazon photo and Google photos as an automatic backup. Uh, so I am going to log into my photo storage and I'm gonna get a photo of, uh, our students or video of our students. Um, and so let me go to, I have some album, there we go. Albums, cross Creek Students go to some of the more recent ones that's Broomball from winter. That's definitely not the most recent. Um, let me just go here. I got a bunch from camp. Maybe not, you know what, I also have it in Google Photos. Nick Clason (05:18): Yeah, here we go. So it's going to be called Space Jam Basketball and Frisbee Night. So none of these super encapsulate that. Um, I'm just gonna try and find like a fun one. Here's just like, oh, that's the whole video I was gonna get. Let me pick, Nick Clason (05:56): These are all from camp, so half the battle's fine. I'm a good background. So I think I'm just gonna pick this, this one right here. This is them just in the room. So I'm gonna download that sucker. Uh, it's gonna take me a minute cuz it is a video. Um, and so if I didn't want to do a video and I just wanted to do any sort of generic background, I could also do that. So another, uh, resource for you, a couple resources. Um, you can go to unsplash.com, um, and search for anything. So if I wanted to do basketball, just pick basketball. Um, if I also wanted to do Frisbee, I could go here and just do Frisbee. So unsplash.com is a completely free stock footage, um, website. Um, another one for you that isn't footage but is also completely free. CMG create, um, here's your free, they have free like stills. Nick Clason (07:05): So, um, if you get, let's just say like it's more like abstracty than it is like photos. So, um, and I haven't been on here in a minute, so it looks a little different, but I know that they have, yeah, these are all free. So if I just click view all still backgrounds and just kind of scroll through here, you know, and if you wanted like this or, or like one of these, you could totally go for that. So I'm gonna get this Norwegian tones flow, I might use that. So anyway, back to that. Now the other thing I have is I have in my, um, calendaring, I have some, this is our summer calendar just for frame of reference for y'all. Um, lemme pull it up here. So you can see this is where our summer calendar. So it's kind, kind of got like a theme, like a vibe to it. Nick Clason (08:07): So we already got this little icon guy here. We already got these sort of texts and everything like that. And so I've been doing that. Like anytime I would build like a a thing, I would build it with like that sort of vibe, right? The little like oval, the same text using in, out, in Inc. Incorporate the use of the icons. And so that's probably what I'm gonna do here. Um, again and as well. But I got some of those different layers and stuff to work with. And so, um, what I'm gonna do, because later I'm actually going to animate this, um, probably not with y'all, but, but I am probably gonna animate it. I do kinda want to use that. Um, I do kinda wanna use that video that I downloaded of all the students screaming. And so I just need to stick, I'm gonna start this, um, this premiere file. Um, let's see, where did I store those? I think I might actually stored it in social media. Uh, 2023 events. Summer. Yeah. So I'm gonna call this oh four Space Jam and we're just gonna store it there for now. And so all I'm gonna do here is I'm just gonna, uh, pull in Nick Clason (09:33): That video of them screaming into my sequence here so you can hear trying to volume up. All right, so let's go, Nick Clason (10:10): Let's go with that. So this right here exports the frame. I'm gonna put it, um, where I store all of the graphics. So I'm gonna go to graphics announcements, summer slides, actually it's in P S D. Um, and I'm gonna actually make a folder so it all stores in the same spot. Actually, you know what I'm gonna put it, I don't have a great file storage for this, so do not borrow my file storage methods cuz everyone tells me that they can't figure it out. And um, sometimes I can't even figure it out. I'm gonna put it in there. So there's just the frame. Okay, so that being said, now we're back in Photoshop. So now I can go grab just the still frame, um, that I'm gonna use later. And so it's in social media, TikTok and Res 2023 events, summer calendar, space Jam. Nick Clason (10:59): So there's my still boom. Okay, now I, I am going to landry's face, I am going to pull this Norwegian water thing in. And uh, now it's on top of it. So now it covers up my picture. However, if I go over here and I right click or command click or whatever you do to get your other options and go to blending, I can reduce down the opacity. So now my, uh, my video or my, my photo back there, you can see back through here that it's, it's, it's, uh, showing. So I'm gonna click okay for that. Um, and I'm gonna turn this. All right. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna make that background black and white. So image adjustments, black and white. So now it's black and white. I'm gonna just increase the opacity a little bit. I want it to be just faint. All right, it's back there. Can't really tell a lot. Um, and then out of my old graphics, cuz it, I think it's worth, you know, admitting I don't necessarily have to reinvent the wheel every single time. Um, so I'm gonna go pull open, oh, it's in PSDs, I'm gonna go pull open, Nick Clason (12:40): Do water wars. Okay, so it, what it does is it just creates like a second tab there. Now it's worth noting that it, this hasn't been saved anywhere. So I'm gonna go file save as p s D, I'm gonna save it where I save all my stuff, which as you've found out is not very good. But, um, most still graphics, I put in this graphics folder, p s d and I'm gonna save this as space jam. I dunno why I'm so tempted to always put an E on it. All right, so when I click on this, it pulls open the, it, it clicks on this layer right here. I need that and the text beneath it. I also want this wars right here. I also want that and I also want this text. So when I hit shift, it selects all of those things. And now when I pull this over, boom, it's right there. If I were to add those myself, I could go here to the text tool, drag it to whatever size I want, and type in whatever I want, highlight it, change the font over here, all those good things. Um, I don't want that. So over here in my Layers panel, I'm just gonna delete that entire layer, hit backspace and it's gone. Now I don't have this text. I did, I have gotten a new, I've gotten a new computer. As I've told you, I I have backed them all up. So we're gonna go there Nick Clason (14:34): And I think it was called summer but it actually might not have backed up. So it's called Summer regular. So honestly I think I got it from DeFont. So DeFont summer regular, I'm gonna go back over here and I'm just gonna search. There it is. Download Open, installed. So now, yeah, now I can edit it cuz now I have it installed. So it's called space. And what this is right here is, this is a whole layer. So I'm gonna release the clipping mask so that you can see. So this is just a downloaded gradient thing. It kind of goes along and in line with our summer calendar theming and vibes. Um, but if you put a layer, a photo over top of another item, if you right click on it, you can create a clipping mask. So now that text is just got that same gradient file, but it's just over top of it. So now type in Space Jam and the event is July 19th. So we're gonna adjust this to that. And I'm gonna, I gotta move, I gotta select all of it. I gotta select the layer and the text and everything. So Space jam, Nick Clason (16:44): I'm gonna put it here. And then since that event in of itself doesn't really to me explain what the heck it even is. Um, I'm gonna write a little blurby blurb right here. I can make it center aligned. Come join us for some basketball and ultimate Frisbee space, Frisbee jam, basketball Space Jam. That's where I got the name from. It's corny. It's Youth Ministry. Welcome to it Spelled Frisbee wrong. So updating that and then I'm gonna go back over here and I'm gonna go to my icons and I'm gonna include that Nick Clason (17:48): I, Nick Clason (17:53): I'm looking for that. Where it tells me it's centered. I'm actually thinking about just adding it right here and then taking this sucker, just taking this, uh, off screen there. Nick Clason (18:19): Actually, I might go, no, I'll just leave it down so I can bring this select, select, bring all those up, bring this down a little center. Bring that down a little. I gotta grab both of these over here. So select, grab 'em both, put it there, let Jamb in the front a little bit and boom, it, I'm just gonna go with that. So command shift S for save, we're gonna save it where we saved it earlier. Command option shift W and now we'll export it as um, whatever we want. I'm gonna export it their format as a jpeg and then I'm gonna go drop it in that graphics folder. Um, announcements, summer, space, jam, save. Boom. It's done. All right, um, I got one more I wanna do for you. Um, and I'm gonna pull open WhatsApp cuz I sent this photo to my wife. And I'm also gonna just borrow from, I had a slide at camp that I used. You know what, I might have done the whole thing and might have done the whole thing. So I'm gonna download this photo from what I sent to my wife. You're not seeing it cuz it's on a different screen. Nick Clason (20:15): I can't think of where, I'm trying to find where it is. I can't find it so forget it. I'm gonna go back here to see him, to create though and just get me something random. Nick Clason (20:38): I Nick Clason (20:39): I something that I kinda like. I might use one of these just like Rock ones Cali Coast. So here I am. I'm gonna save this as a new one cuz this is going to be, um, a scavenger hunt slide. So scavenger hunt. So over here and downloads Cally coast. I'm just gonna drag it in, takes up the whole thing. I'm gonna drag this to the very top. So that covers everything over here. And this is like your order, right? That things lay. So this is gonna be at the top there. Um, I'm gonna add a text here that says find, I'm gonna command a that I'm gonna change the font to Gotham Black. This is italics and this is Boulder. I'm gonna give it a little bit of a drop shadow. That's too much. It also isn't gonna show up, so I'm gonna give it a little bit of a white drop shadow. Um, yeah, I'm gonna keep it white, but I'm just gonna make it real tight. All right, so it's still a little bit far now that it's that tight, I think no, we'll make it like a deeper purple background. You can see it there moving, right? That's my distance, Nick Clason (22:12): That's my size, that's my spread. Find the name of our guys. Pugsley. Make that a little smaller. I'm bringing that download of him. I'm gonna give Valla a drop shadow. I don't want purple though. If I hit command T, that's how I can change the size. Nick Clason (23:38): I Nick Clason (23:39): Just stay right there. Just a look. Command t again, just a little bit off screen and boom, that's just gonna be that command shift. W Nick Clason (23:59): And that's not a summer slide, so we're just gonna put it regular in here. Save. Done. Well I hope that that tutorial on, um, Adobe Photoshop was helpful for you. That is how I get my layers. And then like a next step would be if I'm adding those to any sort of like pre-roll or whatever, I'll bring those into Adobe Premiere Pro and I can animate each of those individual layers. If you want a completely free animated um effect, go grab that in the show notes, something that's just free and available for y'all. Hope you find that helpful. Like subscribe, leave a comment and hey, ask us any questions that we have. We would love to help y'all out. But until next time, and as always, don't forget, stay hybrid.

Welcome back. Another episode of the Hybrid Ministry Show. If, uh, you have not, um, if you've not gone back and seen the last one where I edited a full, uh, video down, then I want to encourage you to go back and check that out. That is what I would do for, um, editing a full video for YouTube. Once that's done, render out some thumbnails and some time codes and stuff like that. However, for, um, this episode, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna edit out three short form TikTok style videos. So I wanna make sure that you can see that. So I'm gonna be using the same premiere file. I'm just gonna resave it and make it vertical as opposed to horizontal. So I wanna show you how that goes down. Um, hey, don't forget, we are on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Nick Clason (00:46): Go subscribe all three places, check those things out and hit the show notes for transcripts and my free ebook. Um, tell you how to post a TikTok from scratch on your phone. This, however, is about posting a TikTok. Um, first saving it on, uh, in a video editing software. In particular, this one's Adobe Premier Pro. And then, um, saving those somewhere that you can repost them later. So, without any further ado, let's dive in. Check the sucker out. So, like I said in the last video, you would've seen, um, something like this. This is, um, me opening up the Adobe Premiere Pro file. Um, I don't think I need those, so I'm not gonna worry about those. All right, so here's the, the final. So the first thing I do, Nick Clason (01:36): Okay, you'll never be left Nick Clason (01:38): Out. All right, so the first thing that I do is I, um, file save as. Um, and I'm gonna save it as underscore social one. I do every social, I do a new one, um, just cuz I sometimes move around like backing tracks and audio and resync some things. This is more, this happens a lot more with my podcast than these, but I just try and do a different one every single time. Sometimes I forget, but the more that I I file save as the source file, the less chance for error. Um, and so I'm just gonna start here. Um, so now this is the source file. So now I can change the sequence settings. I'm going up here, sequence settings. Frame size is 1920 by 10 80. That is wide screen. I'm gonna change it to, um, up, up and down, whatever that's called. Verticals vertical video. So that's 10 80 by 1920 pixels, click. Okay. And then, okay, so now you'll see here in my preview I have it, um, uh, 10 80 by 1920. Problem is I need this video to be fully screened. So that's why I kind of change it every single time. So I'm gonna, um, zoom that in in a minute. But first I am going to, um, create a title track. So I'm gonna make it this one right here. In this Nick Clason (02:52): Video we're gonna talk about how, about how, how you, how you can get, Nick Clason (03:01): So I want to do it right there. So I clicked I how you go in. Um, and then right there I hit C to get my razor tool and then v to select that and get it outta here. Now one of the things I like to do is I like to open it with an animation. I feel like as people are scrolling, when they see an animation, it jars them and at least gets their attention at least a little bit Nick Clason (03:22): How you can get, Nick Clason (03:24): I'm going to need to zoom that in though, right? So it needs to be like that. Nick Clason (03:28): How you can get invited to every single party. Nick Clason (03:34): I'm gonna do c v, get rid of that, bring that in ever. I'm gonna make these quicker cuts, you'll Nick Clason (03:42): Never be left out again. Nick Clason (03:44): So where there's a gap there in the audio, how I'm clipping Nick Clason (03:50): This party started and find out. Nick Clason (03:53): So go back here and now I'm gonna just do some zoom. So that's at 1 94. I'm gonna zoom in even more to 2 27, 2 27 and then 2 27. So Nick Clason (04:10): How you can get invited to every single party ever. You'll never be left out again how this party started and find out. Nick Clason (04:19): All right, so, um, I also want to take my, uh, thumbnail, which I made in Photoshop. Um, I don't think I showed that on camera, but that's what I ended up making. So I'm gonna bring that in in the P S D and then since I have all those layers, I'm gonna animate those and this is gonna be like my announcement or like title sequence. So I always do one that just like explains what the video is. It's just like an announcement. Um, and so this is that one. This is me, you know, right here at the beginning. So I'm gonna go Nick Clason (04:51): How you can get invited to ev. Nick Clason (04:56): So I'm gonna have that come in at the same time and then I'm just gonna move it so it fits Nick Clason (05:07): How you can get invited to every single party ever. Nick Clason (05:13): I'm gonna do a sound effect as that comes in. I still have that sfx saved from earlier. If you don't have it, um, go find it. Um, wherever you have sound effects saved, um, go find it in your finder and then you can drop it right here in this bin. Since I did use that earlier in my long form video, it's already saved in here. Um, so that's one of the reasons too where I like to go back to the original file cuz all the things that I pulled in are already still there. So I'm gonna do I right there, o right here. I have a lot of other options, but I'm just gonna pick that one. Let's see how that sounds. Nick Clason (05:49): How you can get invited to every single party ever. You'll never be left out again. How Nick Clason (05:58): I feel like that needs to be Nick Clason (06:00): How let's get party start. Oh, how, let's get this party started and find out. Nick Clason (06:08): All right, so over here, um, in my shared file, I have created a graphic that I use for my enders. So it's in, uh, shared students social media, TikTok and reels. And then I think I have it in admin. And this is just where I push people to watch the full video on YouTube. So I'm gonna put that right here. I'm gonna let that bounce in, right? And I'm gonna get a, I'm gonna get a whoosh sound with it. Take just the audio there. Boom, put it right there. Yep, Nick Clason (06:51): Let's get party started. Nick Clason (06:53): I wanna make that a little later. Let's do it right here. Nick Clason (06:57): Party started. Find out Nick Clason (07:00): We let it linger a little bit past the talking. Make that oh for out and then I'm gonna go back in here into messages. Um, start the party and I'm gonna get the party music so that there's a little audio track with it. Um, is it necessary? No. Um, does it add to it? Maybe you can be the judge of that. Um, I'll just, I'm just gonna drop it in here. I'm gonna make it negative 25. So it's real low. Nick Clason (07:27): You can get invited to every single party. Nick Clason (07:32): Adjust. I'm gonna adjust these audios right here. So I'm just gonna highlight them all. Select, all right, click audio game. I'm gonna make it 15. So it should be pretty substantial difference how you Nick Clason (07:42): Can get invited to every single party ever. You'll never be left out again. How, let's get this party started and find out. Nick Clason (07:52): All right, the only thing is I lost my right there. Nick Clason (07:56): Start and find out. Nick Clason (07:58): All right. Now last thing is I wanna add captions. So I'm gonna go to window workspaces, captions and graphics. Um, here's where I transcribe it. So I'm gonna click, um, from captions to transcript. I'm gonna click transcribe. Uh, okay, I don't know what this is doing. This is new. Okay, so let's do transcript. Nick Clason (08:37): Oh, Nick Clason (08:48): All right, let's try it again. So this is just gonna take a minute. There used to be, this is an updated version. So like I said, I have a new computer in my last video. So there used to be an option to just transcribe the in and out portion so it wouldn't take quite as long. Uh, looks like it got it right here. All those right there. So I'm gonna click captions, click captions from transcript, click this dropdown arrow. I like to do single lines and then create captions. So Nick Clason (09:37): I do, Nick Clason (09:37): So there you see they right there. So I'm gonna go over here and highlight that one. Click command A to select all. And then I'm gonna go change all. So I'm going to, I like to do, uh, every one of my captions for students has been Babe New Pro. Um, I put it in the middle here, but then I do uh, bottom line text, um, take away the shadow and I want to give it a little background. So I'll give it a black background. I'm gonna make it a hundred percent a opaque and then I'm gonna give it some roundedness and some size. See, so it looks like that. Now problem is, it's still covering that. So I have two options. I can lower that. I can lower the texts. So I can do like this and then like top aligned or middle aligned, or I can move this, um, in, in affects controls. And so I think I might do that so my face isn't covered. Um, and then, but that still doesn't solve this problem. If I go there, yeah, if I go there, it's still a little bit. So I might still move this down, just ale and then over here and text command A. Nick Clason (11:01): Yeah, I'm just gonna leave it there in the middle. It's fine. Nick Clason (11:04): Oh, you can get invited to every single party ever. You'll never be left out again. How, let's get, Nick Clason (11:13): You just gotta go back in here and edit anything that didn't get picked up. So how, let's get this party started and find out, out Nick Clason (11:22): Again how, let's get party started and find out started and find out. Nick Clason (11:30): I'm going to cut it right there, back to V to select it. So now when my under slide comes in, it's gone. All right, so now I'm gonna click on sequence command M, make sure my format is set to H 2 64. That's for MP4 files. And now I'm gonna go back out here. Instead of putting it in messages, I'm gonna put it in TikTok and reels. 2023, start the party oh three Nick, oh one title and change it from, uh, entire source to in and out. So it's just gonna do that a little bit right there. Export, there's TikTok number one. Nick Clason (12:20): All right, sweet. Now I'm going to go file save as I'm gonna gimme social two, I'm gonna go back up here to window and get my effects panel back. Some switch from workspaces, from captions to effects. It's probably an easier way to do it, but I'm not gonna worry about it now. It autogenerated all these captions for me. That could be good, that could be bad as long as I keep the same order. I like to tell stories on TikTok as much as I can. So if this story right here can make sense, I'm gonna go with it. Nick Clason (12:54): Church, I, I used to work at one time, likes to be the person ever. Nobody. Nick Clason (13:12): All right, so these captions are messing me up. So honestly, I'm just gonna start this over. So no, I'm not gonna save that. Um, I'm gonna go back in here three premiere and pull this up. So now I'm going to just get myself a clean copy and all I gotta do is change the sequence settings, file, save as social. I'll just make this three. All right, sequin. Gotta click on sequence. Sequence settings. 10 80 by 1920. All right. Now back to my story. So I don't want these things here, okay? I don't need those things for TikTok Nick Clason (14:00): Ever. Whoop, Nick Clason (14:08): Cut V out. I'm gonna animate this in motion. Presets position in smooth bottom. Let's be Nick Clason (14:17): On Nick Clason (14:18): And I'm gonna zoom in, go over to effects controls, and I gotta cut the gaps. Nick Clason (14:27): Nobody, let's be honest, nobody ever likes to be the person left out. One time I moved away from a church that I used to work at Nick Clason (14:54): Just cutting out all these gaps. So C then V and then sliding over. Nick Clason (14:59): And at this church at this, Nick Clason (15:04): I don't need that big long. And Nick Clason (15:09): At this church I did retreats with an Nick Clason (15:25): So I'm gonna bring all of these photos over Nick Clason (15:33): Treats. What's another, Nick Clason (15:36): I just gotta zoom in. Nick Clason (15:38): A friend of mine down the road, he worked at a church. And so together our church would, our two churches would come together. We went on this fall retreat. And so before I moved, I was was one of the ones who went on the, Nick Clason (16:08): All right, let's go back here and shave out any fluff. I don't need whatever this is. Nick Clason (16:14): Our church would come to our two churches would churches. So together our church would come to our Nick Clason (16:21): Cut out that, so it's just this Nick Clason (16:25): Boat. He worked at a churches, our two churches would come together and we went on this fall retreat. And so before I moved, I was one of the ones who went on the retreat, helped plan it, Nick Clason (16:42): Speak, Nick Clason (16:42): Do all the things. And so every single fall we went to camp Fall retreat. And so Nick Clason (16:49): I'm gonna cut all that goal is to make it as short as possible. And Nick Clason (16:52): So every single fall we Nick Clason (16:53): Went to, I felt losing the story Nick Clason (16:56): CSA in Briston, Indiana. And we called the retreat, the Recharge retreat. And it was awesome. And it was awesome. It was awesome and the same place. And because I followed both my and it was awesome, Nick Clason (17:23): Roll Nick Clason (17:23): Around, Nick Clason (17:26): Same. Nick Clason (17:27): And it was awesome. I leave that church, I move on to another one, and that same weekend rolls around. Nick Clason (17:33): Gotta get that out of there. I could have left. It just chose not to the same place. Nick Clason (17:39): And because I follow both my old church and my buddy's church on Instagram, I see that they're both on a retreat. Nick Clason (17:47): And I Nick Clason (17:47): Was like, God, it's interesting both that church and this church are both on a retreat together at, but on the same Nick Clason (17:54): Weekend, probably gonna cut all this out. That's Nick Clason (17:56): Interesting. Wait, Nick Clason (17:58): It Nick Clason (18:00): Go wait. Nick Clason (18:04): And that same weekend rolls around. Nick Clason (18:07): Wait, Nick Clason (18:17): And it was awesome. I leave that church. I'm watching that same weekend roll around, wait in ton Indiana, hold on, hold on. They're together. And what I began to notice, hold on, was that these two churches came together and instead of calling it the Recharge retreat, they called it the Lifeline Retreat or something like that, that these two churches came together and instead of calling it the Recharge retreat, they called it the Lifeline Retreat or something like that. I don't remember, but I felt, so Nick Clason (18:59): This is why I wanna end on right Nick Clason (19:00): Lifeline retreat, but Nick Clason (19:01): I, I felt so left out, left, boom. And then I just wanna kind of leave a little cliff hangry. So I'm gonna go back over here. I'm gonna grab my ender screen. I'm gonna bring it in. It's gonna position in, right? I'm gonna get the sounder for it. Nick Clason (19:31): Same weekend. Nick Clason (19:35): So that's at 1 30 46. All right, so it's less than a minute. Um, YouTube shorts only allows a minute. So I always make my goal to be less than a minute. So transcript, get this outta here. I think that that's my in-out points. I just want the audio transcribed. I don't need all that transcribed. That might be all the little ones. Listen, you and I are learning this all together with the new transcription interface. In the meantime, Marvel at me in this old shirt. All right, so I don't want that. I want create new caption track there. So I need to get all these, I'm gonna do Babes New Pro. I'm gonna do another black. Actually, I'll do a white background with black text this time. I don't want shadow, I want background. And I'm just gonna put it right in the middle and then lower it down just a little bit beneath my face. And let's see how it looks. Nick Clason (21:48): Let's be honest. Nobody ever likes to be the person left out. One time I moved away from a church that I used to work at this church. I did retreats with another friend of mine down the road. He worked at a church and our two churches would come together and we went on this fall retreat. And so every single fall we went to a camp called Camp Tecu Tecumsah in Brookstown, Indiana. And we called the retreat the Recharge Retreat. And it was awesome. I leave that church, I move on to another one. And that same weekend rolls around. Hold on. Was that these two churches came together and instead of calling it the Recharge retreat, they called it the Lifeline Retreat, but I felt so left out. Nick Clason (22:38): I'm just gonna cut that right there. I'm gonna put my out there. I'm gonna come back over here, put my in, and then command M, switch it to H 2 6 4 TikTok, start the party. Boom. All right. And then one more. I like to do three week. I typically post my Title one on Sunday, um, and then I post the other two, um, on a Thursday and a Tuesday. So that's just kind of been my rhythm. Leaves some gaps in the calendar or in the TikTok posting schedule for some other things. So, all right, as this encodes, I am going to wrap up to the next one, Nick Clason (23:37): Actually. Um, I'm going to, you get the gist. Um, I will do the third one the exact same way. Uh, just realized I have a meeting in two minutes, so I'm gonna go ahead and wind this down. Um, I will, I will make the third one without you here. Um, but I hope that you found this helpful, um, in pre-recording and then making TikTok in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Photoshop. So, sounds helpful.

Welcome back to another episode of the Hybrid Ministry Show. As always, I am your host, Nick Clason, pumped and jacked, and thrilled and excited to be with you. Hey, welcome. You're in my office. Um, and in this episode we're gonna be doing something quite a bit different. What I'm gonna be doing is I'm gonna be giving a tutorial, um, from start to finish on how I edit a, uh, one of our teaching videos. So I've told you before we do talking head teaching style videos. So I'm gonna show you what I do in Adobe per, uh, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro. Um, and maybe After Effects, it just depends, probably not. Um, and so I want to give you kind of a run through tutorial Crash course on how I do what I do, um, as well as just let this be a training kind of video that lives in perpetuity, um, on Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro. Nick Clason (00:57): So let's go ahead and let's dive in and get this thing started. I'm gonna be sharing with you my screen. I'm also going to be sharing, uh, my video, um, just like of me talking. If you're listening to this. Um, it may get a little technical and it may be a little bit hard to follow. So just know that the entire episode is on YouTube with a video tutorial. And so you may listen to this, um, but go back to YouTube for actual like reference of it. So without any further ado, let's dive in. Hey, before, actually, before we dive in, why don't you go, uh, check out YouTube, check out TikTok, check out Instagram, um, and link in the show notes for transcripts as well as a link to my 100% completely free ebook, how to Make a TikTok from Start to Finish. Now, without any further ado, let's dive in. Rending Your Video Nick Clason (01:48): All right, so what you're seeing here is, um, an Adobe Pro, um, file that I just edited. Um, I'm gonna start from scratch. So, um, we are in, uh, start the party week three. Um, I already got this thing started a little bit and so I'm gonna take you into my started project. Um, but if I hadn't, um, this is my original footage, uh, not that this is my original footage and these are my original audio files. Uh, just dropped those in. Um, I had two audio files cause we were using two microphone sources to get it going. Um, I ran those together and then I just rendered it out as a singular one, which is this one right here. So, um, that's basically where we are. And I think the only other thing I did was make like cuts, um, which I'll show you how I do all that stuff anyway, so, um, let's make sure this gets saved in the right spot. So we're gonna save it. Shared drive FC students. This is just my folder structure and my shared folder structure. Um, messages are in social media messages. The year, the number of the series, this is week three. And so we're just gonna call this stp. So start the party three, underscore two Nick Clason (03:12): Oh man. And all this stuff got lost. I think this might be from an old file that was stuck in there. Um, I'm gonna link it anyway though. So it's in Google Drive, shared drive. It looks like most of that stuff was in camp. See if I can search it in here. File enough. Wait, I need to do, I need to do these, so I need to do, um, I need to go here. All right, now let's try it. Do those. So I need to go to Google Drive, share, drive, trips, camp. Okay, I found a bunch of 'em and then those are downloads. So those are gonna be gone and that's okay. I don't need those cuz those are other things. This one right here is in my, a local file that I use, like personal stuff and I've been moving things around cause I just lost a bunch of data. So it's in here. It's in here. This admin social, not that one. Nick Clason (04:45): Uh, Nick Clason (04:45): There we go. Search. Okay, there's that. And then this Hex C is in this shared drive of marketing. Where is it? Marketing? Um, branding. No, it's in marketing. Where's the marketing folder? Why is it gone? Starts with an M. Nick Clason (05:28): Hmm. Nick Clason (05:30): That's okay. I don't think I need it. So offline, offline, offline, offline. Okay. All right, there we go. Sorry, sorry, sorry for that. So here, yeah, so I got this thing started. Nick Clason (05:44): In this video we're gonna talk about how you can get invited to every single party ever. Nick Clason (05:53): All right. So, um, that's that. And then I'm gonna take you over here to Photoshop, which is where, uh, I'm gonna get some fo some things going. Um, these are, this is a template. So I've used this before for other videos, so I kind of build out the template. So let me show you what I've done in the past. So this is my, um, bible verse template. And then this is my like anything else template, um, that I've been using for this series. So if you hit, uh, command minus, that'll zoom you out in Photoshop. Um, command Plus will zoom you in those things. Um, just help you see the things a little bit better. Uh, if I'm over here on the left hand side, I'm using the selection tool. Um, so I can select certain layers that are already created. Um, so I'm selecting this, uh, font right here or yeah, this right here. Uh, but I don't have that font right now. So what I actually need to do is I actually need to go install it. I have them all backed up. I'm just, I just switched to like a new computer and so that's why like nothing is in here. Um, fonts. Okay, so I'm gonna open my font book and I'm just gonna drop over here off screen. All these Gotham fonts that I need. Nick Clason (07:19): I think Hope did that work? I don't know. Let's search. Nope. Oh, there we go. Uh, keep both. I think that should, Nick Clason (07:36): Yeah, there we go. Now it's in there. Okay, so you'll see right here. Now they're all in there. So back over here. We're just gonna cancel cuz now it should read it. Yep. So if I'm over here on the left, I can grab the entire font. Like if I pick the top selection tool here, I can grab the entire font, uh, block thing and move it all the way around. If I go down here to text, I can edit the text. Um, and so I'm gonna have different verses and stuff like that. If I go over here, I can edit that text, right? But if I wanna move the whole thing, I can move the whole thing. Um, so back over here in Adobe Premiere Pro, I got this, it goes straight, start in, Nick Clason (08:14): Find out. Nick Clason (08:15): It goes straight on into the title sequence there. So I'm gonna take you here. Nick Clason (08:27): Nope, nobody ever likes to be the person left out. Nick Clason (08:35): All right, so let's see what we got. Nick Clason (08:37): One time I moved away from a church that I used to work. Nick Clason (08:40): So all these photos are old photos that I drummed up from before. So let's see where this video has us right now. This single Nick Clason (08:48): Fall, we went to a camp called Camp Tesa in Brixton and me and we called the retreat the Recharge. Nick Clason (08:56): All right, so in Adobe Premiere Pro, if you click the space bar, that's your keyboard shortcut for play. Uh, you can move this around here in the sequence, um, to go to different spots, um, on your keyboard. If you look at the J K L and I, it's sort of in the shape of uh, arrows. And so J K L I J is back, K is down, I is up Ellis forward. One of my favorite hacks for that is once you get it playing, you can click L and it'll make it go quicker. You can hit J and it'll make it go backwards. You can also hit the arrow button to go frame by frame. So right, left. Nick Clason (09:43): So that's how I go real slow. So that being said, if I wanna do any sort of overlay videos, which I'm going to like you see right here, I did these photos, I overlaid them. I also have presets that have them come in. Um, I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll drop the link. Um, I'll drop the link, but I'm first gonna make a note to myself so that I don't forget to do it. Um, but I'm gonna drop the link to the presets, um, in the show notes. So that's not the right thing I need to do. Oh five three Adobe. Uh, there it is new. This is just so I don't forget about you guys. Um, presets. So in Adobe Premiere Pro there's little, uh, motion presets that you can use. I use one, I use one pack. There's like 50 of 'em. Nick Clason (10:32): They look like this position in position out. Rotate out, rotate in scale and scale out. I use those pretty much all the time. And I'll often pair those with like a, an audio. So if you see right here as this one comes in, it's got a little audio down here on this audio track. So you got audio track one, audio track two, audio track three. You got video track one, video track two video track three. And you can do an unlimited amount up, uh, in video and an unlimited amount down in audio. So as I play it, this church, I got that little whoosh sound coming in. I didn't do that for the rest of them cause I didn't want it to be distracting. Our would come. So they're just coming in one by one as I'm explaining this story. So Nick Clason (11:09): Before I Nick Clason (11:10): Moved and then here this cut, I hit, uh, I cut it with the razor tool over here. Um, also shortcut keyboard, shortcut C, we'll switch it to the razor tool and then v we'll switch it back to this selection tool. Um, and so then once I click v I just drag the, the thing I wanna do position out, just drag it onto there, do other things and then it rotates out. Or not rotate but moves out. So back to editing. Uh, now that you've gotten all that little quick overview, let's edit the fall. Nick Clason (11:41): We went to a camp called Camp Temsa in Brooks and Indiana. Nick Clason (11:45): We, I'm gonna speed it up a little bit called the Nick Clason (11:47): Retreat, the recharge retreat. That's awesome. And so I leave that church, I'm going to another one that same weekend, not in the same place. And because I followed both my old church and my buddy's church on Instagram, I see that they're both on a retreat. That's interesting. Both that church and church are both on a retreat together, but on the same weekend. That's interesting. Wait, in Brooks, Indiana, hold on a minute. They're together. When I began to notice was that these two churches came together instead of calling it recharge retreat, they called it a lifeline retreat, something like that. I dunno, but I felt so left out there. I was sitting at home thinking that used to be me. I used to be the one there and now I'm home with my kids, with my new church man if I aren't there. And I felt incredibly about that. When it comes to a part, often feel like very cut and dry, very binary, right? Like there are insiders. Nick Clason (12:30): All right, I'm gonna cut that. I don't like what I said there. So I'm gonna see if I can cut around that Nick Clason (12:35): Often feel like very cut and dry to a party. Nick Clason (12:40): So I don't need that much space there. So when it comes to a party, so I hit C to cut it V to select it, and I'm just gonna hit the backspace button and now it's gone. I'm gonna drag this in so it's next to it Nick Clason (12:52): Like very cut. And often feel like Nick Clason (12:59): When it comes to a party can often feel like Nick Clason (13:03): Very cut and dry, very binary. Nick Clason (13:07): Let's see if I can get all that out of there. So I'm just gonna drag this over. So C to V, let's see how it plays Nick Clason (13:13): Often feel like, right, like there are insiders, Nick Clason (13:17): I'm just gonna do feels like there's insiders. So drag, drag, drag Nick Clason (13:21): Parts often feel like insiders and there are outsiders. Nick Clason (13:26): So like Nick Clason (13:27): Inside Nick Clason (13:28): I need to get this to zoom in. So what I'm doing, one of my cuts, I zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out. So if you see that, if you're watching on YouTube, this right here, um, I click on it up up here in the effects controls under motion. Um, I have my position and it's scaled at 1 28. So when I'm here, this is at one 10. So this cut here needs to go to 1 28. Just type that in, hit enter. And now I have those cuts Nick Clason (13:55): Insiders. And there are, Nick Clason (13:58): And that just took care of that cut right there. Now because I did all that, I got all this stuff back here that is cropped out, so I need to connect it. There you go. It's connected Nick Clason (14:14): Today. One of Jesus' friends, a guy named Matthew recorded this story out of the life of Jesus. Here's what it says. Nick Clason (14:23): All right, so now I'm gonna do a Bible verse. So I have this stored somewhere. I think it's in curriculum, Nick Clason (14:36): Yeah, for me. Uh, is that Darren's? That might be Darren's. I just need to figure out the verse reference. I'm gonna figure out the verse reference. I'm gonna go put it into Photoshop. So thank you. I got a new computer. So everything's brand new. Yeah, that's Darren. So I need to figure out mine. I think mine actually might be my own personal Google drive. So I'm gonna search start. Yeah, it's there. So start the party three there. It's um, Matthew nine 10 in the nlt. So I'm gonna go to bible gateway.com. I'm gonna switch it to nlt so that what I say version wise matches what is on screen. And now as I go back over here, one of Nick Clason (15:21): Jesus's friends, a guy named Matthew, recorded this story out of the life of Jesus. And here's what it says. It says later, Matthew invited Nick Clason (15:31): Jesus. Okay, so I'm gonna go here into Photoshop, click my text tool, uh, command a, highlights that all, command v paste it. I wanna make it, um, all caps like I had before. We're gonna keep it uniform as best I can remember. Um, I just changed it down to a hundred. Um, and then I'm in Matthew nine 10. So now I'm gonna hit command shift save. Um, and that saves the full Photoshop file. So then I'm here in my, uh, you know, social media messages 20 23, 0 6, 0 3. So in the oh three folder, this is message number three, I'm gonna click new folder, p s d. Um, and then I'm gonna save it as oh oh one verse so that I know that, um, file oh oh one is a verse save. So now it's saved as a Photoshop file. So this is why I like Adobe Premier Pro, um, because of its integration with Photoshop. Nick Clason (16:33): So back over here in my actual finder, I'm gonna navigate to the folder. I just saved that to p s d oh oh one verse. I'm gonna drag the entire file here into the project bin on this left hand side. Drop it in. And I have three, four options. I can merge all layers, merge layers, individual layers or sequence. I'm gonna do individual layers. Um, and now it'll drop this folder. And now I got every individual layer that I had in Photoshop. Now I'm not gonna use all of them, but I am gonna animate them. And I wanna show you what I did in previous videos. So if you go back to the first video in this series, um, it's gonna take a second to come in from uh, Google Drive downloading. But I'm gonna, I'm gonna look at what I did a for myself to remember how I animated everything, um, so that I can be consistent all the way across all these videos. Nick Clason (17:31): Um, I don't, you don't have to do that. I like to do that for every series. I like to have like the same animations, um, so that it has like uniform, same backing track, which um, out here I found this file, um, on motion array, uh, as song for the background. So I have this right here. This, uh, audio layer is my tech, my my speaking audio layer. This layer down here is my, uh, audio, um, backing track, all music. So anyway, um, oh you know what? This might not open in QuickTime because of yeah, cuz I'm already using QuickTime. You know what, it's on YouTube so let's go check it out. So we're gonna go to YouTube, um, cross Creeks, dude. And let's see videos. Here it is. Nick Clason (18:39): People seem so full of life and others seem, oh, celebrate the value of others. And Nick Clason (18:49): So as I scroll through here, I'm just scrubbing through to find the text. Here it is. So if you'll notice I made a cut and the verse, Nick Clason (19:06): Cause he said it in his own words, the Nick Clason (19:09): Thief. So the verse in this little banner thing with the hello summer, it's all already there. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go to this Roberto Nixon. That's the, that's the background. Nick Clason (19:22): But let's, let's see. Remind myself what I did over here. I had rectangle two as like a backdrop to make it blacker. So go to rectangle two. So put those together. So right, this is uh, as the layers build up, bottom, top. Um, so there's my two backgrounds. If I just hold the mouse down, highlight them both, then I can move them both longer in the sequence. Um, so there's the background. Uh, let's see. This right here is titled rectangle one. So I'm gonna go back over here and grab a rectangle one, put it right there in line with it and drag it there to go the whole distance. Then I'm gonna get my verse reference Matthew nine 10, put it there. And then I'm missing that little hello summer icon that I made. So I'm gonna click on that and it's called Hello Color Official Colors. So go to Hello Color, pull that right here and boom. And it's covering up Matthew. So I'm just going to change the order there. Pull Hello, color, make Hello Color, be below Matthew. So there, okay, so now all my things are in. So right here on this today Nick Clason (20:48): One of Jesus's friends, a guy named Matthew. Nick Clason (20:52): Now I don't say it yet. So what I did was I held down shift and clicked them all to highlight them. I'm just gonna move it, what Nick Clason (20:59): Of this story out of the life of Jesus. And here's what it says. Nick Clason (21:03): So when I say, here's what it, I'm gonna go right here, where, here's what it says. So I hit c I got my razor tool, I cut the thing there, now I'm hitting V to go back to my selection tool and I'm just gonna highlight all these layers, bring 'em back over. So now it's there. So then I need to bring in the actual text, which I believe starts with later Matthew. So I'm gonna listen to it and line it up when it comes in. So Nick Clason (21:27): Here's what it says Nick Clason (21:29): Right there later, Matthew, boom, I'm gonna have that, um, position in, lemme go back and see what I did over here. Nick Clason (21:40): Let see, Nick Clason (21:41): It looks like it was a smooth transition and I just know that thief. Yeah, I just know that from experience of what these different ones look like. So I'm going over here position in smooth left. Okay, that came from a file. The sound came from a file over here under social media. Nope, nope, it came under my drive. Uh, social, this is my old church, Parkview. See if it's gonna, there it is. Sound effects. Uh, I've been transferring a lot of data, so it may not be all in here. Let's see if I can go, let's see if it's in actual Google Drive. So I'm gonna switch to my work profile, shared drive notes. It's in my drive. Passport, Nick Clason (22:49): Social. Nick Clason (22:56): It's called sfx. There it is. I'm gonna download that sucker. Um, so now it's in my downloads folder. I'm gonna take it out of there and I'm gonna bring it here so that's all in the same spot. And then I'm gonna make sure as I go into Adobe Premiere Pro, I'm gonna pull it from that same folder so that when it tries to open it later, it, it knows where it was. So I drop it in my thing. And now if I double tap on this sound, it's gonna pull it up here in this source tab up here at the top. Okay, so there's all these different, um, sounds ready. Like, so I'm just gonna find one that, like, that one sounds kinda weird. Nick Clason (23:50): That one's good. So I'm gonna take this, uh, bar down here and I'm gonna shrink it so that I can get a closer view of it. So if I hit I that starts, that stands for N and then if I toggle the bar right here, right past it and click o, then I can choose to grab either the video or the audio. I don't have a video so it's only audio. So I'm gonna drag the audio in here and I'm gonna line it up. And then what I like to do, again, I'm gonna drag this little bar so I can zoom in a little bit. I like to get it right, you see where it's just barely on the screen. I like to, I like to match my audio up there. So now this Nick Clason (24:26): Is later Nick Clason (24:28): Also, I'm gonna right click on this audio or control click or whatever. Two, two fingers click maybe. Um, and I'm gonna adjust the audio gain by 10. So it's a little louder. So let's see how it sounds. It says Nick Clason (24:43): Later, Nick Clason (24:44): Yeah, I'm also gonna drag this cuz it looks like it still needs a little more space to breathe later. Yeah. Okay, so that's Nick Clason (24:54): What it says. It says later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home. Nick Clason (25:02): So this one right here, I'm clicking on this back over here into effects controls. That's at 1 28. So when this comes out, I'm gonna, when I'm done with the verse, I'm gonna cut it and I'm gonna cut it down to one 10. Remember I was talking back and forth between 1 28 and one 10. So Nick Clason (25:16): This reputable sinners that comes outta Matthew chapter nine verse 10. Nick Clason (25:22): So as I say that, I'm gonna cut right here. And then if I hit C for cut and if you hold down shift, it will cut everything in that uh, up above and and down below. So I'm gonna hit shift it, cut all my layers and I'm gonna go back to v the selection tool. I'm just gonna select them all. So now they're all gone. I clicked back on the actual video, I need to make that one 10. That was my transition. So 10 Nick Clason (25:54): Your tax collector Nick Clason (25:55): Back in and now we're rolling with guests be Nick Clason (25:57): Some of the most corrupt and frustrating people in the world. These aren't the kinda of people that anyone thought Jesus would be like sitting down sharing meal with. So here's what I wanna know. Nick Clason (26:10): So I want to comment. Um, we're gonna be playing this in our live room and I'm also gonna post it on YouTube. So I'm gonna put this comment below thing, right where I call for it. Nick Clason (26:18): Comment below or Nick Clason (26:22): So that was one 10. I just noticed this is one 10. This video here needs to be 1 28. Nick Clason (26:29): One thought Jesus would be like sitting down, sharing a meal with. So here's what I wanna know. Nick Clason (26:36): So I'm gonna cut here cuz I have it, I had it cascading before, but I'm making some adjustments so I need to make sure that I don't get myself outta order. I'm just gonna have to like 1 28, 1 10 all the way through and change it. So if I switch back to, if I do a one 10, I switch back to 1 20, 28. Then down the road where I have a one 10, it's gonna stay in my order. Come Nick Clason (26:58): In below. Or if you're watching this live in the room, uh, at the table around you, I want to ask you this question. Does it surprise you to know that Jesus shared a meal with people that are considered out? Nick Clason (27:11): Um, so I'm gonna put this question on the screen. Um, I'm gonna look back. I saw that I had another question on the screen thing. So this is Darren. Let's see how I got that question in there. Nick Clason (27:23): Question is just about following a set of rules. Talking about it like a party is Nick Clason (27:27): Sometimes. All right, so that is, uh, I know that just again from memory, I know that's babe new. So what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna do file new, um, pixels is 1920 by 10 80. Resolution is 72 create. All right, I'm gonna command minus out. I'm gonna put a text in there. And then the question is, does it surprise you to know that Jesus spent time with these types of, of people or something like that? Command A highlights it all. I'm gonna change it to babe. New, um, babe, new bold. Um, color's gonna be white. I'm gonna right click on layer one, which is the text layer. I haven't, I must not change my settings yet. So I'm gonna go down to drop shadow and I wanna make it a black drop shadow. Give it a little angle here. So like, I usually like to go to the left at an angle. It's just personal preference. You can do whatever you want. Changing my size. If you see on, on the YouTube screen, I'm changing my size down, I'm changing my spread down. I like it a little bit more. Um, yeah, I'm gonna put my distance more right behind it. Nick Clason (28:46): There we go. Um, again, I'm just kind of doing that by eye and feel. But the more like black it goes in the background that I think the better it looks when it comes in. I'm going to highlight it. I'm gonna make it center aligned. I'm gonna drag this up to right underneath it. And then that way as I pull it down, you'll see right there I got those lines that are giving me, it's telling me's right in the middle, um, left and right and up and down. Okay, I got those lines telling me that I'm gonna delete this background here and then I'm gonna click command option shift w um, or file. That's the shortcut for file export. Export as. So command shift w I'm gonna switch it from JPEG to png. PNG gives it the transparent background. I'm gonna hit export and then I'm gonna go save it in that same folder. So share drive FC students social media messages. 2023. Um, start the party number three, I'm gonna put it in this PSD folder, but I'm gonna make a p and g folder, um, to not get 'em confused, I'm gonna take label it oh oh one question. Boom, put it in there and then back over here and premiere. I'm gonna do Pete, go into it. Uh, nope, wrong one, three psd uh, P and G question. I'm gonna drop it into my thing. I'm gonna drag it over here. So here's the question. Nick Clason (30:12): Come in below or if you're watching this live in the room, uh, at the table around you, I want to ask you this question. Nick Clason (30:19): Here's a question. So it's gonna come in, I'm gonna do positioning left and I'm gonna go down here and get that same sound effect. So it's uh, oh two five sfx. If you lose it in your bin there, you got this little search thing. So I just know the name of it is sfx. I click on it. I already got these bars from my in my out. I go my audio here, I drag it here and I'm just gonna make sure that that's all loaded up. I want it. Oh, I want it there. I'm gonna right click that. I'm gonna make that 10 again. Audio gain 10. Another way to do that if I want just the exact same one is I can go back over here to this one and if I hit option while it's highlighted and drag it, it should just duplicate that for me. I don't need that though, so I'm gonna delete it all. So back to my question Nick Clason (31:12): Table around you. I want to ask you this question. Does it surprise you to know that Jesus shared a meal with people that are considered O Nick Clason (31:22): All right, so I'm gonna rephrase that question so it matches. So does it surprise you to know that Jesus, um, how did I say it? Jesus shared a meal with people who are considered out. I'm going to get rid of the rest of that. All right, so now I'm gonna save it again. Again, this is one of my favorite features. I'm just gonna save it as replace and it should just change it. Look, it just changed it on my screen there. So because I updated it there in Photoshop and changed the file name, advise you to know Nick Clason (32:03): That Jesus shared a meal with people that are considered out in their ancient society. Why or why not? Take a minute. Nick Clason (32:12): So now that I have this, I'm actually gonna put a little countdown timer on the screen. So, um, in one of my folders here, I have a countdown timer. It's right here. It's called five Minutes Full Flat one. I just know the name of it. It's got an alpha channel on it. So it's right there. I'm going to, um, I only need the end of it cuz I'm not gonna do a full five minutes, right? So I hit C cut the rest of that and I'm gonna drag that over here. Um, I'm gonna pull a drop shadow on it. So I'm just gonna search in the effects here for Drop shadow, give it some definition. Didn't do much. I'm gonna go over here to effects controls. I'm gonna find drop shadow. I'm gonna move the opacity of the drop shadow from 50 to a hundred. I'm gonna change the distance. There we go. Now it's got some, some like at 40 back to effect controls. I'm gonna make it smaller. So I'm gonna hover over this 100 here for scale and just take it left and go down. And then I'm gonna go up here to this position. I'm just gonna drag it down right there. So now as I cue up the question, I'm gonna first find the end. This is where I end it, right here at this cut. So I'm gonna hit see. Nick Clason (33:28): So at the time of Jesus, there's a, so now what I'm gonna do is I am going to, this is the end. Okay? So when I queue up the question, why or why not? Nick Clason (33:41): Take a minute, Nick Clason (33:43): Uh, sir, I'm gonna cut it. I wonder if that is like past the end of the video or something. Let me see. Or is that hidden? Like what's going on here? Why is it not shown? I wonder if it's not like fully rendered or something. Hold on, let me find it. All right, now that I delete it, let's see if I can find it again over here. It's right here. It just looks like it's like loading it in. So it looks like it's just gonna take a little, a little, a little minute, a little minute to think I throw, I'm gonna drop it back in. Drop shadow, took all that off. Bye. Messing with it. I'm gonna change the distance to 40. It might just all need to like think. So I'm gonna hit file save as s STP 32. I'm gonna override it. Save. And I am going to, um, take a little break. I'll be right back. All right, so that didn't do crap. So I'm gonna open that sucker back up. Let's see if I can get it all right. That did it. So I just saved it and then I closed it and I opened it back up. We're good to go. So that's the end of my clip right there. Actually, it's a little bit long. So I'm gonna get to the end of my clip right there. Nick Clason (37:13): I'm going to click on the timer. I'm gonna make it a little smaller. I'm gonna pull it down and then I'm probably gonna animate its entrance. So Nick Clason (37:23): Surprise you to know that Jesus shared a meal with people that are considered out in their ancient society. Why or why not? Take a minute. Nick Clason (37:34): So I'm gonna put it right here where it starts, but that's only 10 seconds. And so what I'm actually gonna do is I'm going to lengthen the time. So I'm gonna grab all these right here and I'm gonna move them. And I want to give it closer to like 30 seconds. This is just like as a youth pastor is what I want to do. So I'm gonna pull this all the way down. I'm gonna pull this all the way down and then back that puts me at like a minute. So I want it at like 30. So like around, yeah, like around there. So that's where I want it to. And so what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna, I hit, uh, see for the razor tool, I'm going to right click on this and I'm going to change the speed. So I'm gonna go, I was right click. I'm gonna go to, oh, I'm gonna go to speed and duration right here. And I'm gonna make it just 0.1. So it's super duper slow. So that's the video behind me as this question is sitting on screen. So it doesn't matter honestly what's happening behind me. Nick Clason (38:56): And then when that gets down to zero there, that's the end of it. I'm gonna pull. So I'm gonna zoom out so I can see all this. I'm gonna pull all these back in. So it's right next to it. Boom. Actually it needs to go there. I can drag that one to close the gap. And then I just need to animate the entrance. So I'm just gonna do motion in positioning smooth bottom of my countdown timer. Now I'm coming back over here. So Nick Clason (39:50): At the time of Jesus, there's a group of religious leaders, they're called the Pharisees. And they had a real problem with this dinner that we seen Jesus at. So it says when the Pharisees sum, Nick Clason (40:01): All right, so I need the verse for what I'm about to say. This is my show notes so I don't forget what it is. This is my Nick Clason (40:13): All right, so Matthew nine 11. So it's in this same thing here. It's just literally one verse later. So we're gonna copy this. I don't want to get that little A right there from Bible gateway all. So I'm in this tab here in Photoshop. I'm gonna go back to this tab. Not that one, not that one. Where is it? There's my verse. All right, hit the text command A to highlight command, V to copy. And then if I hit highlight at all and hit command shift and then the like p the period sign or like the, it looks like a greater than symbol, I can increase the size, um, slowly. So I'm gonna do that. I am going to change that from uh, Matthew nine 10 to Matthew nine 11 command shift S for save. Uh, oh oh two verse right there. And I'm drag that whole file back in. So get back over to it. Drag it in Nick Clason (41:13): Individual layers. Boom. Now here's the good news, which is a super cool, fun hack. Um, oh, that needs to be all the way this, this. So I'm hitting shift to highlight all these, all of these bad boys. Um, I'm, I'm replicating, right? I'm using the exact same thing. So I don't have to import all those. I'm just gonna hit option and drag them over here. And now I have this identical thing. I don't have to redo that. So now, now all I need is to get Matthew nine 11 right there, the new verse. And then I just need to animate in the text. So back over here, Jesus, Nick Clason (41:51): There's a group of religious leaders, they're called the Pharisees. And they had a real problem with this dinner that we seen Jesus at. So it says when the fa Nick Clason (42:02): So we're gonna do it right there and then we're gonna bring in. But when, Nick Clason (42:06): So it says when the fair Nick Clason (42:08): Right there, I'm gonna drag that to the end position in left. And then I need that sfx sounder. Click on here. Get that, bring it here, zoom in. I'm just hitting arrow over. That's where I want my sound effect to start. Um, I need to make that up to 10. All right, here we go. Nick Clason (42:33): So it says, when the Pharisees saw this, the fact that Jesus was there with the, the sinners and the outcast. And so why does your teacher eat with such stomach? Ask Jesus' disciples this question. You see the fares, you Jesus' disciples this question. Nick Clason (42:50): I think that's where I'm gonna end it. So remember, uh, see shifty boom back to V I can erase all those. So this was at 1 28. It'll come back to here at one 10. Nick Clason (43:07): Good question. You see the Pharisees were purposefully keeping others on the outside. They were judging them and questioning Jesus and his friends for not keeping them on the outside. Nick Clason (43:20): That is too long of a gap. I don't like that. So I'm going to cut right here, drag this and then make this 1 28. So now one sec. Nick Clason (43:28): Check out what Jesus said in response to them. I love it. He says, Nick Clason (43:32): All right, so we're doing another verse. I'm gonna assume it's the next verse. Yeah, actually it's 12 and 13, so I'm gonna get both of those. Oh, 12 through 13, copy paste. No that not copy. I must not have hit copy command C paste command v, I'm gonna make it a little smaller. Remember, command shift less than sign. I want this little a bad boy out of there space there. I'm gonna make, give a little more space to breathe cuz it is small. However, lemme make sure I don't how I read it. Nick Clason (44:27): Healthy people. So let me ask you, go and learn the meaning of this scripture. I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices for I have come to call, not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are. Nick Clason (44:47): All right? So yeah, I did do the whole verse. So um, command shift s we're going to make it oh three verse back over here in premiere. I'm gonna clear that search so that I can find it. Verse three, we're making it individual layers. Boom. All right, so I need all of these backgrounds again option. So I'm gonna go here where it starts. Nick Clason (45:19): Check up. Oh Jesus. Nick Clason (45:21): So we're gonna make it right there. When I say check out, I just need Matthew nine. Oh did I not change it? Nope, I didn't change it. So I need to make it 12 through 13, just a little smaller. I'm gonna write it over. So now that same layer in Adobe Premiere Pro will be updated with the new text. So it's all that check out Nick Clason (45:51): What Jesus said in response to them. I love it. He says, Nick Clason (45:57): All right, so I need this verse, I need to put it right here, position in left. And then I need that sfx. Actually I'm not gonna get it that way. I'm gonna go here, highlight it option, drag it over. I make sure that I, whenever I do that, I always make sure sometimes it doesn't work but some. So I wanna make sure I didn't just move it but I actually copied it. So I wanna make sure they're both still there. They are. I'm gonna zoom in. I'm gonna get, when this starts coming in right there, that was already pretty close, but just a little over. Nick Clason (46:34): Healthy people don't need a doctor, sick people. So let me add, go and learn the meaning of this scripture. I want you to show mercy Nick Clason (46:44): Not so it's not long enough. So I'm gonna highlight all these and I'm gonna drag it. I Nick Clason (46:48): Offer sacrifices for, I have come to call, not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are S, Nick Clason (46:56): That's where I'm gonna end it. I'm gonna shift, remember C, to get the razor tool, shift V, delete 'em all. And that gives me this new cut on my video timeline as well. So if that was 1 28, this can be one 10 as a zoom back out. No Nick Clason (47:15): They are, that comes from 99, 12 and 13. Nick Clason (47:19): I don't need that. So I'm gonna v cut that. See then V. Nick Clason (47:24): See Jesus came to care for those who needed him and most he came to show grace and love and mercy to the sinners, the tax collectors and anyone else who has ever been cast out of a girl. So what Nick Clason (47:44): That was a big gap. Nick Clason (47:46): So what does it look like to show mercy in today's world? Well for starters it's letting people know that they belong. That they can have a seat at your table. Nick Clason (47:59): So I like that quote. So I am going to um, it's letting people know that they belong. That they have a seat at your table. Just to make sure I got that quote right. Let's hear it again. Nick Clason (48:18): Well for starters it's letting people know that they belong. That they can have a seat at your table. You know, when you think about your life, right? Like I want you, Nick Clason (48:31): So I'm gonna do command option shift. W because I'm exporting, I'm not saving, I'm gonna make it a p and g. I am not saving the source files of these. I probably should but I'm not cuz I could recreate them pretty fast. And so it's just saving me a step cuz I would save it as a psd, then I would save it as a p and g as well. And that's just two steps. I'm just trying to cut that down. So I'm gonna have that come in there and then I need to drag into this gap right here. I want it positioning in left. Nick Clason (49:01): You know, when you think about your love, right? Like I want Nick Clason (49:06): You actually it's over here. Nick Clason (49:09): Well for Nick Clason (49:14): I get smaller, I got a pretty big starters. It's love. Yeah, there it as well. So I'm gonna pull that sfx sounder option. Yep. Nick Clason (49:39): It's letting people know that they, they belong, that they can have a seat at your table. You know when you think, Nick Clason (49:53): You know, when you think about your life, right? Like I want you to be honest, you probably hang out with people that you're most comfortable with. Your table might look like a table full of athletes or your table might be a table full of kids in theaters or your table might be a table full. Just kids in your neighborhood that you hang out with. Here's my questions. Since your table is often very similar, what if rather than having everybody with the same label sitting at all of your seats of your table, what have you chose to mix it up a little bit? You have one with this label, one with that label one with this label one. What would that look like? Like think about it. What if you chose to invite people? Nick Clason (50:48): So I'm just gonna add this here cause I felt like it was going a while without anything on the screen. Um, and I like that question. So I'm gonna make that oh oh three question and let's see where I start talking about it. A table Nick Clason (51:04): Full of athletes or your table might be a table full of kids in theater or your table might be a table full of just kids in your neighborhood that you hang out with. Here's my question. Since your table is often very similar, Nick Clason (51:17): What right there, what? So I'm gonna do position in left. I'm gonna go get this sounder again. Bring it right here. See those little arrows that gives me the indication that's lined up with my text up there. So I'm gonna let it go soon back in. Very similar. Nick Clason (51:35): What if rather than having everybody with the same label sitting at all of your seats of your team, what if you chose to mix it up a little bit? We have one with it. Nick Clason (51:46): I might actually move it. So I'm gonna hit that and then shift so I can move both of them over. Nick Clason (51:53): What if you chose to mix it up a little bit? We have one with this label, one with that. Like what? Nick Clason (51:59): I'm going faster now. Hitting L Nick Clason (52:11): Entertainment, Nick Clason (52:13): Is that the same thing? Nick Clason (52:17): Invest in different kinds of shows or, or forms of, uh, entertainment. Nick Clason (52:23): Yeah, I said that wrong. Nick Clason (52:27): Economic factors, what would it look? Sitting at all of your seats of your table, what have you chose to mix it up a little bit. We have one with this label, one with that label one with this label one. What would that look like? Like think about it. What if you chose to invite people who come from significantly different socioeconomic factors? What would it look like if you chose to invite people who are into different shows or forms of entertainment? You know, like kids who are maybe into anime or, or the Bachelorette or the Kardashians. What if you ask someone who is a gamer because you typically despise gamers and, and you're an athlete. Or maybe what if you're a Christian and you tend to avoid people who believe differently than you? What if you invited someone with a different faith system? Remember this, A party starter knows that everyone is invited. So how do you get invited? Nick Clason (53:30): Just gotta alternate these for the zoom back and forth on my cuts. Nick Clason (53:35): Be like Jesus, be the person willing to invite somebody new. Nick Clason (53:42): No, I don't mind alternating these now because I only got few . I'm at the finish line. People Nick Clason (53:51): Ain't a person willing to invite somebody new. See, we want this church and cross students to get student ministry. We're at a safe place. You can show up and just as you are, find yourself surrounded by people who want to make sure and know that you are invited. So I want you to ask this question again and around a little bit. Your camera. One person that I want to make sure feels in we're invited to the party with me. Nick Clason (54:11): Okay? I'm gonna add that. Who is one person who you want who command option shift, w, p and G oh four. Question back over here. Go find it. Nick Clason (54:38): Who's one person? The Nick Clason (54:40): I I'm gonna put it right here. I'm gonna get the sounder, bring it over. Nick Clason (54:52): Who's one per Nick Clason (54:54): Animated position in left, Nick Clason (54:57): Who's Nick Clason (54:58): One person that I want to make sure feels in or invited to the party with me this week? Nick Clason (55:06): So I gotta extend that sound. Um, I also want it to uh, so it's called exponential fade. That's where it like fades out slowly. So I drag it there on the end. And then we also have a here in the messages admin folder, YouTube button. Um, I have a subscribe thing where I can uh, just highlight our YouTube channel and anyone who's watching to subscribe. So I'm gonna drop it in towards the end. I'm gonna make it a little smaller and put it in the center middle Nick Clason (55:46): Into the party with me this week. Nick Clason (55:54): And I'm gonna match up the ending audio to go with that. And then that very end, I just need it to, I don't mind if it just stays on there. And I'm gonna drag this here. Command shift SSTP 32, we're resaving it. And now if I go up to sequence and I hit Command M Nick Clason (56:15): Or I just make sure I have the sequence, the blue box around it, this tripped me up one time. So bad file Export media. We're gonna change the location, so we're gonna put it in this folder here. New folder. Zero zero. Final start the party. Week three, save. Export entire source. There we go.

Welcome back to another episode of the Hybrid Ministry Show. I am with you as always as your host, Nick Clason. Excited and thrilled to be with you on this episode. And in this episode, I want to give you my updated church social media posting strategy for 2023. Uh, I will link in the show notes if you've been around any length of time, my ultimate, uh, church social media posting strategy. Um, and I, I gave that back, I believe, around Christmas time, um, in 2022. And so here we are. It's May or June, depending on when you're catching this, or maybe even later if you're watching back through the archives, um, or listening back to the archives. Um, but now I want to just give an update and, uh, say, Hey, here's what I have been doing. Here's where I have been, and here's what I now know and here's the direction that I am now gonna go. Nick Clason (01:06): So tune in for that. But before we do, uh, if you haven't already figured out, we are on YouTube. So join us over there. Give us a, like a subscribe, all that stuff. Super duper helps with the algorithm. Um, and we would super appreciate it if any of those things, uh, were available or a thing that you could do for us. Uh, if you're in a podcast catcher, uh, subscribe so that you get this episode for free. It will automatically, uh, download, automatically show up in your feed every single Thursday morning at 4:00 AM when these things drop. And a rating or a review, either on Apple Podcast, on the YouTube podcast, any of those places, Spotify, we are all those places. So we would welcome a rating or a review. Um, it really helps with the algorithm. And, um, I believe in this message. I hope that if you're listening, that you two also believe in this message. Nick Clason (01:57): And if you are finding it helpful, um, getting that word out there in some way, just by helping us give it a rating that helps other people find their show, that helps other people attach to the mission message, um, of what hybrid ministry is all about. If, if you're new, you know, what we're essentially saying is, uh, this is not a all about digital ministry, though. There is a lot of elements of digital ministry in here. Um, and this is not all about in-person ministry. What this really is, is this is a melding of the two, and it's helping kind of fuse where, where the road meets between, um, just in person or just on online or just in digital. And so that's why we're calling it hybrid. It's a both and sort of experience. That being said, most churches are really good with their in-person experiences, um, and they may not be as good with some of their hybrid experiences, and it could be streaming your service. Nick Clason (02:57): That could be what a hybrid experience is. That's what most churches, uh, do. That's, that's what most of their online or digital strategy is, is like, well, we streamed the service, COVID forced us to buy a camera, stick it in the back of the room and stream the service. And that's all well and good. And if you're doing that, I'd recommend continue doing it. But there are many more ways, I think, to enter into that space, uh, and to offer more than just your Sunday morning experience to your church members, your church attenders, and your perspective people. So again, thank you for joining us. One of the major players right now in 2023. Um, and this will still bear itself out and you're about to see and hear in my updated church, uh, media posting strategy in 2023 is short form, vertical based video. And I have created for you a 100% free ebook. Nick Clason (03:49): I would love for you to click the link in the show notes and head there and download your very own copy of it. Uh, it's just a way for you or a church social media manager or an intern or a college student to grab a phone and start creating tos completely free and from scratch. It is an ebook that we created step by step, walking you through. It's titled, have I Already Ruined My Church TikTok account? And we would just love for you to check that out and use it, and hopefully that will be to your benefit and your advantage as you're trying to lean into more and more of the hybrid space here in 2023 in an effort to reach Gen Z and millennials and beyond. So again, without any further ado, glad you're here. Thanks for joining us. Let's dive in to my updated church social media posting strategy in 2023. Nick Clason (04:38): The day was May 7th, 2023. That's the day I finally shifted my strategy from before. So a little bit of historical context so that you understand. Like I said, if you wanna go back and listen, drop the link to that in the show notes, check that out. But I have been posting three short form vertical video based content pieces every single day for five days a week. The reason I choose the five days a week thing is because I'm attempting to have rhythm and rest in a Sabbath and a weekend. And so I don't post on Friday and Saturday as a a member of church staff. Sun Sunday is for sure a working day, right? Um, and so therefore I just, I choose Friday and Saturday as my two days off. It works pretty well. So I post Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. That's why really, that's really the rhyme or reason works well with my schedule. Nick Clason (05:32): Um, and I would recommend that, like, I would recommend not overdoing it on your days off, because the, the reality is social media is relentless. It is a never ending beast, and it is always hungry. And so the more that you give to it, the more it's gonna want and the more it's gonna need. And so unless you have boundaries, there is really no, uh, stopping to it. And so it's up to you to create the boundaries to stay healthy, to stay in a spot that is gonna keep you mentally strong and all those types of things. So anyway, I've been posting three times a day, five days a week, and I just now shifted down and this is my new strategy. It's not earth shattering, and it's not a big shift. Okay? I've shifted down from three a day to two a day. So let's talk about what caused and what brought me to that shift. Nick Clason (06:19): It's multifaceted. There are two main points, and in the next couple sections, I'm gonna break down point number one, I'm gonna break down point number two. Um, but all of this is, while it's not monumental, it is a slight shift. And so if you have been following my recommended strategy, I will explain why I still think that there is benefit and merit to the three posts a day versus maybe the two posts a day. That is honestly ultimately gonna be up to you and up to your call. But before we do that, let me dive into my two-pronged reason for shifting from three a day to two a day. Let's go. Reason number one, why I am making this shift is I am hoping that shifting from posting three day to two a day, it's gonna take my weekly from 15 down to 10. Um, and there's already a rhythm baked in what I'm doing. Nick Clason (07:12): Like, for example, we're pre-filing all of our message content on video. And so out of that, I pull three, uh, shorts, three tos every single week, um, that are short message clips, um, Brady Shearer and the, and the people at Nucleus call it social sermons. Um, but essentially we're clipping a, a message with hopefully what I would consider to be a good hook, whether it is or not, I don't know. I'm still growing in that skill, I would say. And then at the end, we're pushing them to go consume longer sections of our YouTube, um, or podcast content. Uh, and so hopefully they find it and then they go, they go discover and, and become, you know, more engaged, more entrenched in what we're doing on social media. Anyway, all that to be said, right? Like, I am trying to, so, so there's three right there. Nick Clason (08:02): Okay, so outta my 10. Now I already have three. I only have to come up with seven more. And so ultimately I'm trying to shift, uh, creating quantity content to quality content. Now, I, I have not been trying to produce crap. Like, that's not been my goal, right? By any means. Like, I'm trying to do good work. I'm trying to be thoughtful, I'm trying to be creative, but there's just something about three a day that just feels relentless. And yesterday, May 7th was actually the very, and that May 7th, as of this recording, this will drop multiple weeks later. But, um, May 7th, when I first posted this, like, that was my very first day of posting only two a day. And it, it felt different. Like, I don't know it, you know, you might think like, what are you talking about? Like, it's only one different, like, I know, but it just, it, there's something about it, it just did. Nick Clason (08:48): And, uh, the illustration that I would make is I'm trying to produce really good quality content now, like part of the quantity, um, has been a little bit of an antiquated, I think, algorithm thing. And by antiquated, I mean, like a couple months ago, in social media land that's antiquated. You had to show up a lot and you had to show up frequently. You had to show up often. And if you can do three a day, if you can do quality content multiple times a day, you should. And I would still a hundred percent recommend it, but I just know my personal margin, like was not really allowing that anymore. Um, I was ha I was struggling with coming up with good ideas. And in like one of my original iterations of our plan, I've told you before, I work as a youth pastor. Nick Clason (09:30): I'm on a team. I'm one of three on our team. I have a director. There's me, I'm like the, the social media guru. And then we have, uh, another associate on our team. And, and she's a female. And so like the two of them, like I I, I dished out some social media stuff early on, like, Hey, you take three and you take three and I'll take the remainder. And they each both struggled with it for different reasons. Um, and, and so I pulled us back together and I said, what if we filmed some stuff together? We got all of us on camera at the same time. Instead of it just being like my talking head than your talking head, than your turn for your talking head. And they loved that idea. It was easier for them, but that dumped a lot more of the editing load back on my plate. Nick Clason (10:12): And so as a result of that, that's why I'm making this shift. The other thing is, you, you're in grow mode. I think when you're starting from scratch and you're doing a lot a day, we've, we've grown a lot. Go back to the last episode, I'll link it in the show notes. I give you my progress support. We have a fair bit of followers, we have a fair bit of subscribers in all four of the places. And so I think we've established ourselves. So now I wanna start creating really good content because that is the other thing that the recent TikTok algorithm has made very clear, is that like they are now going for good solid quality content. It's not just about hopping on a trend or a sound. And if you're on that sound, you can ride that wave to a lot of views, a lot of subscribers like that just doesn't work anymore. Nick Clason (10:56): I mean, and you saw that born out in some of my most recent like deep dives into analytics, is that like, we're not catching those waves the way that we were hoping that we would. And so therefore we have to not just try to rely on good cap cut templates or good trending sounds and funny dances. We have to actually create quality content that people are going to want to see, watch and consume. That's gonna be the path forward. And so to do that, I'm trying to pull back the number of, of posts I do a day so that I can spend more time on quality content. Right now, I am doing a series, you can check it out. It's at Cross Creek Church right now. I'm hoping it'll change to at Cross Creek students, but TikTok and name changes. So, um, but I'm doing a series, um, on all of our, our short form video platforms called Grow. Nick Clason (11:47): And i, I want to give bible and Bible study hack ideas. And so I'm opening with a hook with, it's all gonna be like bot ai voice, uh, filtered. And so it says like, this Bible study hack is an absolute game changer. That's how it starts. And then I post screenshots from the Bible app, or I post, uh, screenshots or downloaded images from other things. Uh, like the one today is gonna be about the, uh, printing press and how we now have access to the Bible everywhere. The early church didn't have that, right? We have it now in our pockets on our devices. Um, I also post one about like second Timothy three 16, how God's word is, uh, God breathe and useful for teaching, re repeating, correcting and training and righteousness and how that's gonna benefit to us. And so break down some of those verses give them hacks in the you version Bible app. Nick Clason (12:42): So that's gonna require some more effort on the prep side before I just get out there and start farting out, right? Some, like, some some TikTok. So I'm trying to put in some good thoughtful preparation, and then once I do the prep, then I have to turn around and edit it. So I'm, I'm really seeing a lot of these things from start to finish. In a lot of cases, if you're like a church social media manager, you might just be on the editing portion of it. And so you have the time and the bandwidth. Um, if you have content creators, pastors, whatever you're gonna call them on the backend doing the work, great. Like keep, keep letting them pump that stuff out. And the more you can produce, the better. If you have a good strategy and can post more than five times a day and you're handing it off some people on their days off and whatever, like yes, yes to all of that, right? Nick Clason (13:29): But at the end of the day, like, I am making this move to just try and build in a little bit more, uh, margin for me. And so, um, like I said, I'm, I'm trying to, um, in addition to creating good content, I'm trying to become a little bit more aggressive on my edits too. Um, spending more time on my edits, edits that are gonna be, um, good and stop the scroll and grab people's attention and all those types of things. So all of that just takes more time. And the more time I have, uh, is gonna be used to create 10 really good pieces of content every single week that I may have to edit every single one of them in like Adobe Premier Pro or my video editing software of choice. Um, as opposed to just pulling some random quick ones out off my phone, which is what I, I have been doing for some of the filler pieces. Nick Clason (14:18): There's nothing wrong with it. I mean, quite honestly, on my personal YouTube shorts, I posted, uh, one of those Jonas Brothers filters a couple weeks ago. Like, don't get stressed, we're gonna get figured out. Oh, deep conversations at the Waffle House. You might have seen it if you've been on TikTok, if not, you're welcome for that glorious singing in your ear holes. But I posted that and it's got like 53,800 views on YouTube and it helped drive my subscribers up over like 30 overnight. So you never know when one of those is just gonna like catch. And quite honestly, I posted it a week and a half ago and yesterday was when I saw my subscribers just freaking skyrocket, like outta nowhere. And so those still play a part. Those still work and those still happen, you know, every now and then. And so, um, leave space for some of those good cap cut templates, I would say for some of those good training audios, um, so that you can ride some of those waves cuz that that stuff does still happen. Nick Clason (15:19): So that's reason number one. I'm, I'm hoping to, uh, shift from quantity to quality. I'm hoping to buy back some, some time and some margin just in my working flow and schedule. Reason number two is I would like to create additional quality content that's not just video based. Now, hear me right when I say that you're gonna be, like you said, video was king and it is, and it, it a hundred percent still is. Everything we've posted on social media since I've been at my church has essentially been video based and I love it. Um, but I , i I will liken it to my current rhythm with video is, uh, one day, there was a day when I was working a couple years ago and I had to have a really tough conversation with a resident of mine. We ended up, I believe this day, or maybe it was a couple days later, uh, letting him go and, um, I needed to sit down and create for him what we call in our organization, a p I p a performance improvement plan. Nick Clason (16:19): He needed to sign off on that p i p and if he didn't like see it through to the end, we had, we had to and were going to let him go. Um, but my schedule that day was stacked. I had like two liter lunches, um, or a liter coffee and a liter lunch. I had several other meetings filtered in there. And so my boss at the beginning of the day sent me, um, his like templatized, p i p and maybe one that he'd used for someone else before. And by the time I got to that meeting, I literally swapped out the name that he sent me on his, with my, my residence's name and flew into the meeting five minutes late, slapped it down and had the conversation. And, uh, I told my boss about it later and he's like, that's not the way to have that conversation. Nick Clason (17:03): And I knew that, right? I just didn't have the margin in my schedule that was necessary that day. There was no other gaps, there was no other breaks to make that happen. And in a lot of the same way, the three a day is very aggressive. It's an aggressive growth strategy and it's caused me to not have any additional margin because I do want to lean into some carousel posts on Instagram that are more like learning based. Um, and that's gonna just take some time with me sitting down in Photoshop, building some of those out, thinking through them. And so all of this really, I would say at the end of the day is, is to build out a more robust social media strategy. One that is including good, strong and frequent quality content, short form video based things, but also has some supplemental content happening like on our Instagram feeds and stuff like that. Nick Clason (17:54): And so this isn't because Instagram, uh, is not working on reels anymore, it very much still is, we're still catching fire on there. Um, you know, I I just have a bigger vision and more things I want to do. So more feed posts more, I would like to do more longer form YouTube videos that aren't just messages. Like I would like to start creating some classes and, and fun things like that. But like, I don't have the margin for it. Some podcasts that are more regular, like I would like to do some of those. I don't have the margin for those. And so the, the more things, more a more fleshed out parent Facebook strategy, like, uh, any of that stuff I don't have the time for right now because of what I'm doing with, with Rios. And so this is hopefully gonna help me take a step back on the video slightly. Nick Clason (18:39): I, I'm, I'm, I, it's still king and so I don't want to abandon it at all, but I just wanna take a slight step back, focus on my editing and my content and then focus on my additional pieces of content, additional avenues of social media, um, as we trudge forward. So that is why I am shifting here in 2023. So ultimately, in conclusion, this is a margin move for me. I gave it a fair shake, an eight to nine month runway. We evaluated it, we've done that in recent episodes. Um, we took a couple accounts from zero and, and complete scratch to where they are today. And that the, the aggressive three times a day vertical video posting strategy helped get us there. Um, and frankly, I am in a church that, you know, when I, when I dropped my strategy for you, I was taking it from a multi-site megachurch with people from all over the Chicagoland area that called our church home and was still very much in the midst Andros of C O V I D or at least like living in the wake of that to a church that is in Texas in the conservative Bible belt, where they very much live out an in-person experience. Nick Clason (19:49): And so those were not apples to apples by any means. And so I was in a church, has a very in-person, um, environment and strategy. And so leaning into a hybrid ministry in there, still necessary for generation Z, not necessarily because it's like a Bible belt, you know, thing. But Gen Z still appreciates and uses hybrid ministry. We've even seen it here. People have appreciated it and liked it, but it's been a shift and it's, it's not the norm for what you would normally see in Texas. And so, uh, I, I say all of this to say like, I only wanna point out how big and how long and how far that hill was that we have been taking. And now as we step back, as we do deep dive into some analytics, it is causing us to shift ever so slightly. And that is why. Nick Clason (20:38): And so I hope that you, um, you know, I hope that you can take my context and compare it to yours and like, is this true for us as well or do we have the margin to continue to keep going with what we've been doing? Like I just want to let y'all know and be honest with you, like, this is where I am, this is where I'm coming from and I, um, always just wanna shoot it straight with you. Like here's where I am, here's where I'm coming from and here's how it's going. And uh, I will always do that and I will never fabricate or lie or say one thing's going better than another. Like this is just what it is and how it is. And, and this is where we are today as it stands. And so when I make another shift, you guys will be the first to hear about it. Nick Clason (21:24): Cuz I love to workshop it. And, and part of the reason why is y'all help give me a community, uh, for me to like, filter out some of my thoughts. I'll make shifts. But like sitting down to prep this podcast helped me figure out the, these are my two main reasons why I'm making this shift and that makes me more articulate in my job or with my boss or whatever the case might be. So I appreciate it, it's cathartic for me. I hope it's helpful for you. If it is, please drop us a rating, a review, all those things.

If you found this episode helpful, please consider sharing it with a friend, a family member, a coworker, a grandparent, your cat. I don't care. But sharing really helps. So if that's something that you have the margin or are able to do, please consider sharing it. We love you guys. Thanks for sticking around until the end and until always, that's not how I do it. Let's, I butchered it. Nick Clason (22:35): How do I say it? as always. No, don't forget, this is it. This is it. That was the worst ending in the history of mankind. And you know what, I'm keeping it in there. I face planted in front of you. Not everything's perfect. That's okay. We're gonna show the realness. Don't forget. And as always, stay hybrid.

But let's dive into, don't Sleep on YouTube, episode 33. Here we go. Well, hey there everybody, and, uh, in this episode, like I said, I want to talk about Don't sleep on YouTube. Now, what does that mean? I think, um, at least in my sphere or whatever, like I think YouTube is like a little bit the forgotten child of social media. Nick Clason (02:05): I was talking on the phone this week to my brother, um, who's just getting started at a church and just getting started on his social media accounts. And he's like, so should we do TikTok? And I was like, yeah, for sure, but he is a youth pastor. Should we do Instagram? Like, yeah, yeah, you can do Instagram. Um, anything else is like YouTube. And he's like, YouTube, really? And I was like, yeah, YouTube, uh, here's why. YouTube is the either second or third, depending on how you look at it. Largest search engine. So, I mean, if, if it's not second, uh, behind Google, the argument is that it is third behind Google, Google Images, and then, uh, YouTube is third. And so, um, also YouTube is owned by Google. And so, um, all three of those are owned, you know, by the same person people place. Nick Clason (02:53): And so the search engine is going to, um, be tied to a Google, uh, a strength of a Google type search engine. So it's, it's not going to be a small bananas like TikTok is trying to, uh, acutely turn themselves into more of a search engine type platform. And like, that's fine, but it's not powered by Google. You know what I mean? It's powered by by TikTok. And so TikTok was good at making vertical viral style videos. YouTube is owned by the largest, best and most powerful search engine in the entire world. So YouTube has some strength and some weight behind it. In addition to that, uh, YouTube has recently, um, burst onto the scene with shorts. I don't know the last time you logged into your mobile app on YouTube, but there'll be a couple of widescreen long form classic YouTube video recommendations, um, in one, two, or three of the first spots. Nick Clason (03:52): But then right beneath that is a list of shorts. It's similar to the Instagram app. Now if you're scrolling through all the square pictures, but then it'll suggest some reels. That's what YouTube is now doing with shorts. And about a year or so ago, I, um, I gave up on YouTube shorts cuz I posted a few and they got like one or two likes and or views, like just, it was useless. And, uh, it was the clunkiest between TikTok, Facebook and Instagram and YouTube. Of those four, it was the Clunkiest, uh, to post of all of them. And also it has the shortest window for shorts. So like TikTok now, um, will offer like an up to three minute video. And for some people creators or something, I'm not sure who gets this. Um, some people can post up to like 10 minute videos. So Rios has now got a longer length on Instagram. Nick Clason (04:44): However, on Facebook it's shorter, which doesn't make any sense why like those two who are both owned by Meta wouldn't communicate and talk to themselves. Uh, YouTube still only has a one minute, um, clip option. So anytime I'm making any sort of vertical video content, if I want to post it to YouTube, I need to ensure that it's a minute or less. Um, but that's usually not that hard. Um, and so like even yesterday I posted on our, um, TikTok, we did one of those blind rankings. I had, uh, a girl, um, who's one of our worship leaders at our church that leads a lot in our ministry. I had her do a blind ranking of NFL teams based only on the logo. Cause she doesn't know anything about sports. And, uh, I'm dating myself a little bit, but we posted that on Super Bowl Sunday thinking that'd be, you know, like a funny thing to kind of play off of like the Super Bowl thing, vibe or whatever. Nick Clason (05:35): Um, and when she recorded it on TikTok, she recorded it for like a minute and 30 seconds. So I had to go and I had to cut it and shave it down. I did that all in the TikTok app. Um, but then when I was able to then take that link and post it on YouTube, it was less than a minute. So I was able to go on YouTube shorts and I had a decision moment there. Do I just post this on, um, TikTok and Instagram reels or do I do the work, cut it, chop it down to be able to get it over to, to YouTube. Here's the interesting thing about that particular video, you never know because especially when you're posting the four platforms, one might like blow up on one and get like one view over on another platform, but in this case, that video performed best on YouTube, believe it or not. Nick Clason (06:20): And so from about a year ago when I first started, um, posting on YouTube, they are much more, uh, they've done a lot more work, I think, on their backend to make shorts a little bit more viable. When I first started posting shorts on our churches student ministry YouTube page, we didn't do that until the very first of this year. We were changing our name in 2023. And so I already had the YouTube channel for Cross Creek students. Um, and I didn't want to start a YouTube channel for first Colville students and switch them over. I just, I wanted to get a clean start from everything, logo, handle, the whole thing. Cuz YouTube's the one i, I know the the least, right? I didn't want any issues. And honestly, even like right now, our TikTok is still under at first Colville students because TikTok holds, um, those names longer, um, to let them become available. Nick Clason (07:14): I, I already had a Cross Creek students account on TikTok. I owned it. Um, and I deleted it hoping that within 30 days they would give it to me part, not hoping only for hop's sake, but also because that's what they said that they would do. But then when I did more research, if someone deletes their account, they hold it for four months until it becomes available again. Or at least that's what someone said on Reddit somewhere. So we're gonna see, um, one day we'll change that over. But nonetheless, I digress. I didn't start posting on YouTube until January 1st, 2023, uh, because of the name change thing. And it is now, again, dating myself when this was, uh, recorded versus when it's gonna be aired live. But it's February 13th and we have over 70 subscribers on YouTube. We post a once weekly long form video clip. Nick Clason (08:04): Um, and so we have maybe 10, I wanna say something like that. Um, long form longer than 10 minute video clips. Um, the rest we just post are normal three day, three a day, um, short form video content that we also posted, TikTok that we also posted to reels we posted over on YouTube. And we have over 70 subscribers that is easily the fastest growing social media platform of all the other platforms that we're using. Um, we are reaching new and different people on YouTube than we are on TikTok than we are on Instagram. TikTok is probably the second fastest growing. Um, and by far the slowest are Instagram and Facebook. They're just, they're not there yet. So what do we do on YouTube? What is my recommended YouTube strategy? Now and foremost, if you're a church and you're already using YouTube as a container or a holder or a storage platform for your live stream Sunday sermon, uh, Sunday services, uh, that's great. Nick Clason (09:07): I would recommend continuing to do that. If you're just getting started and you don't have the money or the gear or the infrastructure or the desire or the know-how, or whatever other myriad of reasons why it might be difficult for you to get your service up onto YouTube, then here's what I recommend. Pre film your messages sitting down in front of a camera, very similar to what I'm doing right here. For those of you who are not subscribed to our YouTube channel, we're watching it there. What I am doing now, sitting in front of a camera, talking directly into it, pre film your content, why I talked about this in previous episodes, and so I'll, I'll ensure that I go link to that. I think it was in like a three part episode, so it'll be behind some other stuff, but I'll link to it. Nick Clason (09:51): Um, YouTube indexes videos that, uh, and and videos that perform the best are those videos that are between, uh, 12 minutes and 17 minutes. Um, a Sunday sermon, typically 30 to 45 minutes, um, somewhere in that range. And if you're including the worship and the announcements and all the other stuff, you're church service is probably somewhere between an hour and an hour and a half. Um, and YouTube measures and tracks watch time and retention rates and drop off rates. And so the longer your video, that's, that's good. Okay? It's good to have a long video, but if people aren't staying for the whole video, it's gonna actually be a ding against you. The other thing that you get to do with, um, a pre-filed message, uh, is that you get to, you get to make it accustom and, and tailor the message for people online only you all know, and you've all been there, especially as we've moved from Covid d whereas like digital only into back to in person. Nick Clason (10:56): You've all probably noticed and known the hybrid struggle that there's been where you're talking to, you know, during Covid, you're talking directly to a camera that worked really well, but then you're talking to a room and also some people behind the camera, and now you're probably talking to a room and less people behind the camera. And so when you pre-filed, you're able to talk directly to the people that you know that are gonna be watching and consuming this on YouTube with your in-person sort of being the secondary or sitting in the back seat of the purpose of that, that video, right? And so, uh, YouTube, you guys know this. You've watched it before. They even like probably make fun of it or make memes out of it, right? But the whole thanks for being here, watch it like it subscribe, make sure you hit that bell. Nick Clason (11:40): You can do all of those things when you prefill the message. Why do we do those things? Why do YouTubers do those things? Because they actually work. Believe it or not. Uh, if you just watch a video or someone just as a video versus if you tell them to and subscribe, like comment below, you'll actually see a, a noticeable uptick in those things happening if you just ask them to do it. And so that's one of the advantages of sitting down pre-filing your message. You can make it shorter. Uh, you can make it fit into what's preferred for YouTube. You can speak directly to an online audience, someone that you know is going to be consuming your message in an online forum, an online first type forum. And you can, uh, tailor your message in that that way. All right, so let's get nitty gritty. Nick Clason (12:28): So what do I do? What do I use? Uh, so for phones, believe it or not, I'm an Android guy. Um, and so I am filming this video and, and, um, I film all of my other, uh, videos that I pre-filed people with on a Google Pixel Pro seven. That's the one that they, uh, you know, put on, you know, commercials and stuff where you can do the magic eraser, take people out of the background, stuff like that. I tried that last night actually for the very first time I was watching the Super Bowl and they're advertising for it. And I was like, oh yeah, I have that phone. Let me see if I can actually do that. And so I did. Um, but the camera is top of the line for cell phone cameras. Um, it's, it's not a camera camera, right? Um, and so it's, it's got its limitations for sure. Nick Clason (13:14): Uh, but it's the phone I also use for my personal use. And so because I use it for my personal use and I use it for my, uh, filming and stuff, I, I invested in it personally so that I can use it for things both at work and stuff like this I'm using for the podcast or whatever. So I just use my cell phone for church has, um, a budget and they're not willing or able or whatever to invest in livestream. Look no further than the camera in your pocket. It is probably better than most, uh, most like most cameras that we had access to even like five years ago. It's crazy. So what do I do after I film it? Well, I use the Adobe Suite Creative Cloud. My church, uh, pays for that. It's like $55 a month. Um, I think for a business license, and let me just say, I think it's worth it. Nick Clason (14:04): There are other free programs and you can nickel and dime your way away from those things, but for like editing purposes, it's really helpful and useful. Now, most computer softwares have a free video editing, um, service and you, you can get by with some stuff. Uh, but they're just like, all those free, all those free things are all those things that are not like a part of the, you know, like industry standard. They're just, they're gonna have shortcomings and they're gonna have things that you wish they had that they don't have, or services that they offer that they just aren't able to offer because they're not free. I always think about the time, one of the churches I worked at that I got, I got really into design, um, and like making graphics. That was like one of the things I, I kind of became the Sunday morning slide graphic maker. Nick Clason (14:50): Um, and I, I learned how to do all of that in PowerPoint, but then there were just shortcomings. Like I, for example, I couldn't make a round background with transparent outlines around it. Why? Because that's a Photoshop thing, right? And there's some free programs out there that do it. And now even with things like Canva and whatnot, um, that are even much more prominent than when I started doing it. But I remember asking my, my boss to ask the finance committee if we could please spring for the Adobe Creative Cloud, um, Adobe Creative Suite. Um, and he just, he was unwilling to pay the money at the time. And so I was doing a lot of things, but I just, I, there was always limits to what I could do in PowerPoint versus in Photoshop. And so that's what I'll say, yes, you can, Jimmy Rig and Jerry rigger way around a lot of things. Nick Clason (15:40): But, um, and sim this is the same conversation by the way we're just having with the camera. Like my cell phone does a fine job, but like, there are still limitations to it. And so there's always a, an upgrade that you can always make. So you just gotta figure out where and how you wanna spend the money. And so, um, we use Adobe Creative, the Adobe Creative Suite in many more facets and, and you know, places than just, uh, for YouTube videos. But I use Adobe Premiere Pro because it, it links really well with the Adobe Photoshop in Adobe After Effects. Um, and I don't use After Effects for every edit. I use it for like, some initial things for some lower thirds and some animated graphics and stuff like that, that I just store and have and put, you know, places when I'm editing. Nick Clason (16:27): Um, so I'll, I'll use it like for the first time or for the first few videos to get a a, a library of some things. But for the most part, when I'm editing, I'm just using Adobe Premier, um, pro and Adobe Photoshop. And they, they talk really well together cuz they're both in the same creative cloud. So what did I get? So in addition to my phone, I have like a ring light. Um, I, I bought a tripod, a desk tripod as well as a full standing tripod. Um, and I bought two style microphones. I bought two lapels that connect via Bluetooth. They just plug right into my phone. Um, and I bought a shotgun style microphone that plugs into like the charging port of my phone. And I'll tell you what, what I'll do is I will throw all of those links into the show notes. Nick Clason (17:16): Now, keep in mind they are for, um, like Android connections and so if, if you don't have one of those and you have an iPhone or whatever, there are all the same things for iPhones as well. So you can see what I got and you can then, uh, take that and, uh, adjust your recommendation toward, uh, an iPhone thing. And so that microphone, uh, is probably the best investment, I would say of all the things. It just, it has really good quality, it's really easy to use. Um, and it just makes the video sound just a little bit better and a little bit more professional using the microphone. That way it's, it's not a microphone like this, uh, like this podcast mic that I have for those of you watching, um, it plugs directly into my phone and I can shoot it right at whoever, um, is looking at my phone or at the camera. Nick Clason (18:05): All right, so then how do I use, uh, then how do I use that strategy for social? So when I'm editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, um, I find two spots to create just vertical video message clips. Um, I clip 'em out. I, I try to find a good hook. If the person, myself or any of our other, uh, people on our team don't have a good hook, I will have them talk for a little bit, pause and I'll fly in some text and I'll do an AI voiceover. Um, and the place that I've been using for that AI voiceover is, um, a place called V V E E V E E d.io, uh, v and also I'll drop that in the show notes as well. Um, and I, all those AI ones similar to what I was saying earlier, uh, they, they require a payment, right? Nick Clason (18:56): They require you, like you can get one, but then you gotta start paying if you want more than one per one per week or something like that. I can't remember. Uh, but v do IO so far has been working well, I'm gonna anticipate it one day, it's not gonna work, and I'm gonna have to pay for an AI voice generator. Um, and that's just that classic, like, that's really popular on TikTok right now. I don't know how long that will be, but for right now, that works well as a hook. So like, I might be talking pause, AI voice come in, and then it keeps, uh, and then it plays the rest of the thing and the AI voice works as a hook. And then the rest of the video in under 60 seconds hopefully delivers when you're editing an Adobe Premier Pro, you can create an in and an out by just clicking the I while you're in your sequence and an o for I in and o for out. Nick Clason (19:44): And then you can just render that out, um, just that little section. So in that little section, I'll chop it up real a lot. You know, like, I'll make it real quick. Jump cuts, I'll zoom in, zoom out, like for emphasis and whatnot, I'm able to add captions directly in Adobe Premier Pro, um, and, and use it that way. So, uh, that I will chop that up. I'll chop up two of those, and then I'll also do one of those videos I've talked about and, um, with just like stock motion video background in the background, um, motion video background thing with like a tweet tweet looking screenshot over top of it as, as like a quote from the message or a bottom line. And so I'll, I'll use three different sermon style clips, um, sprinkled in and woven in through our social media throughout the week. Nick Clason (20:32): So like, we meet on Wednesday nights. So I have one that goes live on Thursday morning from the pre-recorded YouTube video content. I have one that goes on Sunday morning. I usually do that as like the, the quote post. And then I have one that goes on Tuesday, uh, the day before next message would be preached, or our video goes live in the room on a Wednesday night. So that is my, that's how I use my social media strategy. Um, and how I weave that into our schedule. On the end of those social media videos, I use just a YouTube subscribe ender screen. And so this is probably my favorite part is because we pre-filed and have longer form, uh, YouTube messages, if someone does in a discoverability algorithm stumble across our message, it will then, uh, fade to a screen that says, watch the full message on YouTube. Nick Clason (21:24): I like that because I think that when there is an actual like strategy or place to push people to, if they do discover you, um, we talked about it in the vi in the u in the podcast last week that a lot of Gen Z more than more than 50% say they use short form platforms to find short form videos of things that they may want to watch longer form of later. And so, uh, I use that and say, Hey, go watch the full message over on YouTube, then go click the link link bio, you know, something like that, uh, to take them to the full message of the short clip that they just watched. And so that's one of the ways that it's not just about going viral, it's not just about vanity metrics. It's not just about getting a lot of views, but it's hopefully about taking people from an awareness of us to consuming some more messages of us or that we are able to produce. Nick Clason (22:19): Now, this is my favorite part because our podcast is called Hybrid Ministry, but what are ways that we use this in a hybrid style? So I say we pre-record, um, and so we do a message on Wednesday Night Live. We pre-record it, um, post it on YouTube when we meet on Sunday mornings, uh, well actually first when we meet on Wednesday nights, we provide a you version live events, uh, event on, on their phones so they can navigate and interact in you version that can take notes, they can read the, the scripture, they can follow along with the outline basically. But then at the end of it, you can push and produce some external links. So a lot of times I will link to a short, a YouTube short, um, or a long form YouTube video that relates to the topic that we're teaching with. Nick Clason (23:07): So that's a way that something that we're do, that someone's experiencing in the room, they can experience a hybrid relationship with us, with our social media, with our platforms, um, through that YouVersion events. The other thing that we do is on Sunday mornings, um, our students all come in for a big into the auditorium for a big look announcement time, real quick, five, 10 minutes, not, not much longer. And then we break them out into the small groups all throughout the building. Um, what we're able to do, because our Sunday morning small group ties to our Wednesday night message is now that we're pre-filing, I've been pulling a minute or two clip from the message, um, and playing it. And so like I've told you before, we have a team of three. And so oftentimes whoever is teaching on Wednesday is not the person doing announcements or, or hosting the room on Sunday morning. Nick Clason (24:01): Um, and so, and like yesterday, uh, my boss, he preached on Wednesday and we played his clip and he's on vacation, but he was still able to, you know, uh, tee up the morning and, and still give a moment of spiritual influence to the entire room because we're using this message, uh, that we've already, we already have in the can. We already pre-filed it, it already exists somewhere. So for those kids who don't get, don't come on Wednesday and don't get to hear him speak ever, um, it's an opportunity to to introduce them to him, to introduce him to, to introduce them to his style, for them to hear from him. Not just in giving announcements, but also in giving the actual message content. Finally, my favorite reason for not sleeping on YouTube and the added benefit of pre-filing is it gets you into your content sooner and it gives you, uh, just an opportunity to prep, um, before you're gonna take it live to your room before you're gonna stand up and preach it. Nick Clason (25:04): And so I think it's valuable that you're not flying in hot on a Wednesday, having, uh, just printed something from a pre-canned curriculum and then just grabbing the outline notes. I think it's good to have ingested it, digested it, um, wrestled with it, interacted with it, and so then by the time you get up there, you're more familiar with it, it's gonna probably be delivered much more naturally because you have a familiarity with your outline and with your message as opposed to just you seeing it now for the first time. And doing it this way, we've pre-filed our messages on the Thursday before they're preached. And so our people are interacting with the message, um, the whole week before they even get up and preach live. And so by the time they get up there, it's gonna be locked in, in their brains and their hearts, hopefully at a lot better level, uh, just by the forced nature of needing to be ready to pre film their YouTube content. Nick Clason (26:05): Well, hey everyone, I am thrilled that you stuck around to the end. Thanks so much for hanging out. Uh, if you found this helpful, please share it, rate it, drop a like, uh, all kinds of stuff. All those things help us do better indexing on YouTube in the podcast algorithms and whatever and whatnot. Uh, and so that would be greatly appreciated out of us as a token of our appreciation, we have created a couple of free resources for you. So if you head to the link in the show notes and go grab the, uh, TikTok, uh, have I ruined my TikTok account for doing that. We will also throw in our completely free social media checklist, what you need to be asking yourself every time you post to every platform. Um, but what we don't have on that one is YouTube. You know why? Because when I created it, I was sleeping on YouTube. Nick Clason (26:53): Don't sleep on YouTube. It's gonna be helpful, beneficial, it's the largest search engine of all the social medias that we have out there. And it is, it is worth investing in. So regardless of where your church is big, small, have a lot of money, have a lot of gear, don't like, there is a way to make it happen. So I would recommend getting in there, create it, make it hybrid. There are more ways to flush even that hybridization out. But for now, go back and listen to everything I just said for what we're doing to live and lean into a hybrid, digital, physical environment to help point our students closer to Jesus. Again, thanks so much for hanging out. Uh, follow me on, uh, TikTok, follow me on YouTube, uh, subscribe to this podcast and we will be sure to talk next time. Don't forget, stay hybrid.

Here's a guide on how to post TikTok from start to finish. Hey everyone, my name is Nick Clason. I am the host of the Hybrid Ministry podcast, and this is a little special YouTube slash podcast episode I'm excited to bring to you on the framework for posting a TikTok in 2023. Now, there's a lot of things out there about like SEO and keywords and strategies and tips and hacks, and in fact, I actually have a checklist that I have pre created for all social media, just a basic like, uh, have you done this? Have you done that for posting to social media at your church? You can get the description or you can get the link for that in the description, the video down below, uh, or in the show notes, hybrid ministry.xyz. But why TikTok? Like why of all the platforms that we have, why TikTok? Nick Clason (01:01): And here's why. Every platform right now, Facebook, Instagram reels, YouTube shorts, they are all going after this short form video content. It's like lightning in a bottle. It's so easy to go viral. Um, and when I say easy, it's like you post the dumbest thing and it goes viral, but then you spend a lot of time and effort and energy on something that you think is amazing and it gets like 14 views. And so the reality is it's this very finicky, very like, hard to like land what is going to go viral, but when you see other social medias copying another social platform's kind of bread and butter, it's worth noting and it's worth, uh, going all in on. And so when every single major social platform is copying TikTok in their, uh, their, their for you sort of algorithm, you need to make that a priority. Nick Clason (02:00): It's, I would liken it to win Instagram stole stories from Snapchat, and now TikTok is actually stealing B reels, uh, post, now they call it the now feature in TikTok. So, uh, if you've never logged into TikTok, uh, or you have, and you know, you should, you've heard me talk about the importance of short form video, but you, you open it and it's overwhelming. You don't know what to do or you think you know what to do, but then you get kind of turned around editing videos or whatever and whatnot. This is meant to be a, uh, a thorough guide to every feature available in TikTok. Now, some caveats, I've really only been using TikTok for about three to six months now. Um, I too is just as much of a novice when I opened it. They're constantly evolving and changing, and I'm not even a hundred percent sure if I know all the features. I tried to comb through each and every feature as I was in preparation for this video, but there are several I haven't even used. And so Nick Clason (02:59): I just wanna be clear with that. Like, uh, I'm still at a very basic level, and so if, if I can do it, what we're doing in our church, you too can, can get up some very basic sort of content. So when you log into TikTok for the very first time, a video is probably going to start blaring at you at full volume. Okay? That can be a little bit disconcerting and throw you off. You're a rocker because most other platforms keep videos muted. TikTok for whatever reason is the opposite, so turn your volume all the way down, or if you just tap the screen, the video, whatever video they play, um, it'll pause it. Now, uh, if you're getting on TikTok for the first time and they're feeding you things that you don't wanna see, they're not, you're not interested in, hold that video down and just click, not interested. Nick Clason (03:43): Do that a few times and you're gonna teach the algorithm what you want to see. So when you, uh, are sitting there looking at a video, video that TikTok fed to you, you have, uh, several different video menu options. And so I want to, uh, run through what those are. The first one is you can, on the right hand side of your screen, you can follow the creator. Uh, that little plus sign right there will give you a, uh, follow, um, or not follow kind of option. Now, if you look at the very, very top of your screen, you're going to be looking at either following or for you, you're either in your following algorithm, all the people that you're following, or you're in your for U algorithm. TikTok will almost naturally bring you to the for U algorithm. So just be aware of that. Nick Clason (04:34): Even when you click follow the people, the videos that you're seeing may not be coming from followers. That's, again, that's one of the things that makes this algorithm unique. Um, you can, like the video, that's the heart. You can comment on it, you can save it. That's a little save, uh, little bookmark looking icon there. You can share it. That's the arrow out. You can send it to people within the TikTok app. You can, you can download the video and save it, or you can copy a link and send it. Uh, and then the bottom, uh, icon there, a little round one kinda looks like a, a record turning. That's the sound, that's the audio that is being used. Could be like an original audio from the creator, or it could be like a sound or a trend or something like that. All of that is to you. Nick Clason (05:15): On the right hand side of the screen at the bottom, you have five menu options. You have your home button and the subcategories for that, like I said, up at the top of the following. And the four you, then you have the, now that's TikTok, s b real copycat. It's almost identical to what Be Real is doing. Uh, you got the plus button there, then very dead center, that's your create button, okay? Then next you have your little envelope, that's your inbox. And for there you get your notifications, dms, likes, follows, et cetera. That's all the things that you, uh, when people interact with your content or your videos. And then finally, the last thing on the very right hand bottom corner, uh, is your profile. That's where you have your videos. Um, once you click on that, you'll see, uh, another kind of menu across the top. Nick Clason (06:02): Uh, the left most option is your videos, everything that you've posted kind of on your grid. The next one are your private videos. The next one are your saved videos. Remember that bookmark icon. And personally, I like to use that as a way to save ideas. So if I'm going through TikTok and there's a sound or an idea that I think is fun or interesting that I can use later, I'll save it. That's then where I'll find it. And what I'll personally do is I'll save that on my personal account, and then I will share that video to my ministry account. Then I will switch accounts, log over into my ministry account, go into my dms, and get that video from myself, and then I'll use that, um, either that sound or that idea or that trend or whatever I need from that video, maybe a filter, whatever that I'll use to them post. Nick Clason (06:46): Um, moving on on that menu, you got your liked videos. And then finally, um, there at the top, you can edit your profile, your link, all the other necessary and pertinent information there. Okay. Now, how do you, that's just simply viewing a video and kind of navigating through your basic menu items. So how do you then create a video? So the way to create a video is on your home screen. You can tap that plus button, all right? And once you tap that plus button, you're given several options. All right? At the very, very top center, uh, there's the option to add sound. You can add a sound that way by clicking it and searching for a sound. Or like I said, when you see that record player on a video, you can click on that. Um, and once you're, once you click on that, there will be a, it'll pull up all the videos, uh, that have used that sound. Nick Clason (07:37): You can click use this sound option. That is personally, I think the easiest way to do that. That's why I like to save those videos and then share them so I don't have to go and try and find those sounds. Again, that's my way of kind of archiving and remembering where those sounds are. Now one thing worth noting, if you're on a personal account, you can use any sound you want. If you are a business account, those are much more limiting. There are ways around it, um, like recording the video and then in post-production in like Adobe Premier Pro or something like that, dubbing that sound over. Then when you post it, it's gonna be technically an original sound. It's not gonna come from the trend sound. Uh, there are pros and cons. Uh, I've talked about this in past podcast episodes. There are pros and cons to, um, personal and business accounts. Nick Clason (08:23): Uh, you just gotta choose what matters most to you. I think probably the biggest downside of not doing a business account is your link and bio isn't really a link. It's just typed out and people have to like, then go type it into a browser so they can't click and go to your stuff. That's a pretty big downside, and you don't get as many analytics. Um, you still can see views and likes and those types of things by going to each individual video, but you're not able to see trends. And so once things start getting going for you, you probably do wanna swap over to a business account. Just know that it's gonna limit the sounds that you are able to use as a business account on your TikTok platform. All right, so you've clicked to create video. At the bottom of your screen, you're gonna have this big red record button that is gonna probably feel very familiar to you. Nick Clason (09:09): It's gonna look like a camera phone or something like that. Right above that, that red button you have the, you have a thing that says 15 s. That's for 15 seconds to the left of that. If you slide 30, uh, or 60 s I'm sorry, and then slide again, you have three m three minutes, okay? Uh, you can shave the time down after you record. So if you don't know how long it's gonna be and you just want to go the three minutes, then if you don't take that full time, it's not gonna post the full three minutes like black at the end of your video, right? So, uh, just know that going into it, if you're using a sound, like if a sound, you click use sound and it's already loaded at the top of your video there. When you click 15 s or 60 s, um, you switch to that often right below it, it'll say, this sound will only allow you to record for a maximum of seven seconds or something like that. Nick Clason (09:59): All right? And so then, you know, oh, I can just stick with the 15 seconds and I don't need all the other stuff. Right? Okay. So, um, to the left of the record button are, is your effects menu. So there, that's where you're gonna get like your green screen, or right now there's a delay mirror effect that's kind of trending on TikTok that's there. Um, things that like rotate through on your head that my TikTok account personally, like I do this thing for football and all the NFL teams rotate through. I have so many views on those, it's ridiculous, but that's what's helping kind of grow my audience. Um, that's where you're gonna get those types of effects. To the right of that is your upload button, okay? That's where you would upload a previously recorded video or photo from your phone, from your camera roll that you already shot outside of the TikTok app, for example. Nick Clason (10:46): Um, and so then at the top right you have, uh, the flip button that's just simply to flip your camera forward facing, rear facing beneath that you have, uh, your speed. So you have different speeds, 0.3 x 0.5 x one x, two x, and three x, uh, for recording speeds. Uh, below that you have the retouch option, full disclosure, and never used that thing. It's kinda like a filter thing. Beneath it, you have another filter option. This one I think is more about image, less about the specifics of like a retouch sort of thing. Beneath that, you have your timer. That's where you can like set your phone down and give it like a three second head start, so you can walk away from it and do a dance or whatever the case might be. Um, you have a three second, ten second option. When you do that. Nick Clason (11:29): Beneath that you have your q and a option. That's where sometimes you'll see a person's comment on the screen and you can reply with video to the comment. All right? So once you're ready to record, those are all your menu options. Now that we're ready to record, tap that record button. When you wanna start, and when you wanna stop immediately to the right of the button, you have two menu options that are now available. After recording, you have delete, it looks like, kind of like a backspace button. If you want to delete what you recorded, start over, try again. You can do that. There. You also have a red check mark. Um, and that's where you then accept the video. And now you move on into the next sort of editing phase of the, the video. Now, your new menu, once you're into the editing phase, in the top middle of the section, you have your sound. Nick Clason (12:15): If you haven't added a sound yet, that's where you can add a sound. Um, if you've already recorded a sound, a video with the sound, that's where you could delete that sound if you no longer want that sound mm-hmm. on the right hand side of the screen, um, you have, you are at the very top. You have your text on screen option, that's where you click that and you can type that out, um, on your left. Then you now have three different menu options, um, from your, from your text editor, right? You have the square with the A around it. If you, if you select that, that will add a border to the text on the screen. So it might be easier to read if you select it. Again, that will put a full background on that. And if you select it, again, it'll add a background, but now it's transparent and if you select it again, it'll go back to your original without any of those effects on it. Nick Clason (13:04): Then to the right of that, you have your paragraph alignment, you have center, then left alignment, then right alignment. And then to the right of that, you have your person with a speech. That's where you often get that voiceover effect. That says, um, that, that's used as a hook. A lot of times on videos, uh, if you choose that, it will make that, um, text on screen. It will turn it into, uh, a voiceover. And there, once you select that, you'll be given, uh, different options, different types of sounds to play around with. Um, once you select that, the menus you have are recommended motion creative vocals. Those are categories for the types of sounds, and then sub options within those. Okay? To determine what your text, uh, looks like, um, you have the classic option. You have the typewriter option, the handwriting option, neon option, and the CIF option. Nick Clason (13:57): And those. So you got your, your a, your paragraph, your speech, and then to the right of that, that's where you get your text, um, looking options. Okay? And then from there you can select colors and they do swipe from right to left so that you can pick which color you want on, on, on screen there. All right. So when you're done, select, done, pretty self-explanatory. The last thing that you can do then is once that, uh, text is now on the screen, if you select it, it'll pop up three menu options. All right? So you can, uh, text to speech, you can add that feature, or if you already did it, that's where you can change, uh, the voice or whatever the case may be. You can set the duration. How long does that text remain on screen? That's where like if, uh, at a certain sound effect or element or whatever, something pops up, uh, you would drag, you would drag the text to start there or to stop there. Nick Clason (14:49): Okay? And then the last thing thing is to edit, to actually like rewrite or, you know, you had a typo to go in there and change that. All right, moving on down beyond the text, you have your sticker options. That's things like your mentions, hashtags, you can add polls, support nonprofit, add a location, ask a question, reply the date, the time, all kinds of things. If you're familiar with Instagram Stories editor, it's very similar to the sticker options that you see on Instagram Stories. I've actually never even seen that menu option until I went to prepare for this video and I was like, oh, I didn't know all this stuff was on here. Um, beneath that, you have effects, okay? And so across the top, once you click effects, you have your trending effects, then you got visual motion effects, transitions, and, uh, split options. Nick Clason (15:31): So you can kind of explore different effects, things to add to your video and what, whatever, and whatnot. Right there, beneath that, you have your filters. It's just gonna change the look, feel your video. Beneath that, you have studio, that's where you're actually editing, cutting your video, okay? So if you wanna do something to edit the video, click on the video. It's gonna give you a video bar and a sound bar. If, if you have, uh, like just the, the audio from the video that you recorded, they'll be together. If you have a audio, like a song, those are gonna be two kind of separate things, okay? So if you click on your, your top option, your video option, once you do that, a little menu option down beneath will, will pop up. So you have split, you can change the speed, you can adjust the volume, you can rotate it, and ultimately you can delete it. Nick Clason (16:20): Uh, split is a great way. If you have like one big, long thing, um, and you're trying to do a little cuts, you drag to the spot, you split it, and then you delete the rest of the video, then you may add in another video that, that same video, probably do another cut, split delete on the front, delete it on the backside. I hope that makes sense. Um, so then to the right of your video bar option, right? You can click full screen and then there's a plus button, and that's where you can then add that video. Like I was just talking about. If you select the audio, you got your video bar, your, your audio bar, if you select audio, you can add your audio option. Once it's added, you can either replace the sound, adjust the volume, or choose to delete it. You save at the top right and you cancel at the top left. Nick Clason (17:05): Moving back out to our editor, um, beneath that you have your captions option A recommend a caption for almost any talking head video on TikTok. That's how, uh, SEO and search is gonna find certain topics. Beneath that, you have your Noise reducer, then your audio effects, and then finally your privacy settings. So once you're done there at the bottom, you then have two options. Bottom of your, your screen on the left, you have the stories option. And then to the right of that, you'll have your next option. Next is where you go to kind of tap to get to your final step before you actually post it. Okay? And so, um, there is where you would type in your caption, different from your captions on screen, right? But your caption of your actual video, the one that kind of like floats up, and then the likes and stuff stuff, follow it. Nick Clason (17:50): Um, you would also include your hashtags there. And then to the right of your, uh, caption box is where you would select your cover. If you click on that, you can drag your finger to a certain part of the video. You can also add title and text on top of it. Um, the, the title and text, it should be noted that those don't show up when someone's swiping through and just finding your video, those are mostly seen when someone lands on your profile and you want them to know what the video is. Okay? So those, those could be helpful. Also, if you do have onscreen things different from your, your text option, your title, text options there, like I showed you, um, those will also show, um, if someone land on your profile, they'll just be in a different type of format than, than TikTok has to offer. Nick Clason (18:36): Um, if they're, uh, like I said, if they're scrolling past, so they won't display on that screen. Also, there you can tag people, you can add a location, you can add links, and here's what it's available on the links. You have books, minigame Alpha by Titan Breathwork, Buzzfeed Quizzes, Contra Profile, disco Loco, 3d, I R L List with Two Eyes, Quizlet, rotten Tomatoes, stat Muse, and Whisk. Um, never use any of those. So you can check those out. You can then choose, um, who can watch the video, allow comments, allow to, uh, allow, allow Stitch, allow high quality, upload more options, save to device. If you click on the more options, save to device, which I just finally turned off by the way, I couldn't figure out where to get that. That's where you get that. You can select your caption language, um, branded content and ads, and then there's an automatically shared to IG or text ig, ig stories, Snapchat. Nick Clason (19:30): And then the last thing is, um, you can either put it in drafts or you can post it. Last thing I'd recommend, if you are uploading this to other places, um, once you upload it, click uh, go back into your profile, click on the three ellipses option, um, click copy link, and then go to your browser on your phone or on your computer, and type in to Google save TikTok without video watermark or save TikTok video without watermark. If you copy and paste that link into there, it will then download you an option from TikTok without the TikTok watermark all over it. Then you can take that same video and you can post it to Instagram, Facebook, YouTube shorts. Um, one thing I've noticed personally, just very anecdotally, is that every time I would post a TikTok, um, and then Instagram with the watermark, Instagram would give me almost no views once I started removing that. Um, we, we've had videos go, you know, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 views because we removed the watermark. Um, I think that the two are kind of competing against each other. Instagram wants to use them, TikTok wants you to use them, so just confuse them and think that they're both being used even though you, you are using both of them. And, uh, they, they just aren't seeing that. Um, and that's just algorithm and kind of AI Nick Clason (20:46): Stuff. All right, so, hey, thank you so much for hanging out and getting that guide if, uh, or getting this guide on how to, how to post TikTok, um, on your account.

Skype se une a Zoom y a Google Hangouts que proveen la función para grabar llamadas de video en vivo.  ¿Prefieres escuchar antes que leer? Escucha aquí la versión podcast. Entérate de lo más reciente del mundo de los podcasts en pocos minutos. Suscríbete al Podcast NotiPod Hoy: Apple Podcast | Android Esta semana en el Show de la National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Skype estará presentando su nueva actualización. Skype presentará la nueva función de grabar llamadas de video que todavía está en prueba. El lanzamiento completo será dentro de unos meses. Esto implica que tendremos que esperar un poco. La función está pensada para podcasteros, YouTubers, streamers, productores de TV y radiodifusores. Según Skype, la función permitirá grabar conectándose a un software que esté habilitado para Network Device Interface (NDI). Esta es una tecnología que permite que los sistemas y dispositivos se conecten y se comuniquen a través de redes IP, creando un entorno de producción con acceso compartido a vídeo, audio y datos. La lista de software de terceros no es muy amplia. Esta incluye: Wirecast, Xsplit y Vmix. Los usuarios de Windows 10 y Mac podrán seleccionar el modo ‘Creadores de contenido’ y allí elegir qué software de terceros prefieren utilizar y Skype permitirá la integración. También en Skype podrás hacer una llamada en Livestream en tu canal de YouTube o en el stream de Twitch. Una vez que grabas la llamada, el contenido se puede importar fácilmente a aplicaciones como Adobe Premier Pro y Adobe Audition para su edición. Además, puedes personalizar la apariencia de la llamada. No hay anuncios todavía de cuando estará disponible para Linux, IOS o Android. El próximo mes de agosto se celebrarán 15 años del lanzamiento de Skype. ¿Cuán importante es tener tu podcast en Spotify? Más de la mitad de los oyentes de Posta FM, la popular red de podcasts de Argentina, escuchan sus podcasts a través de Spotify seguido de un 15 por ciento que lo hace por Apple Podcasts y un 8 por ciento que usa la app de Posta. Esto les confirmó su pensamiento y descontinuaron la app de Posta. Este fue el resultado de una encuesta que realizaron hace poco entre sus oyentes. Hicieron este estudio con el fin de conocer mejor su audiencia. Encuestaron a 1,058 personas, y pudieron establecer algunos datos que les permitirá enfocar mejor el contenido. Por ejemplo que el 54 por ciento de su audiencia está compuesta por hombres, y un 46 por ciento por mujeres. Igualmente, más del 80 por ciento tiene entre 23 a 35 años. La mayoría descubrieron Posta a través de las redes sociales. Los momentos favoritos para escucharlos son la ida y vuelta del trabajo y, mientras están haciendo multitasking. Si alguna vez has considerado que tu idea de podcast es descabellada, piénsalo dos veces. Un podcast llamado ‘Young Quaker’, del Reino Unido publicó un capítulo llamado ‘Silence Special’ en el que grabaron una reunión en la que un grupo de jóvenes se sientan en silencio durante media hora. Lograron cerca de 400 escuchas. Su objetivo fue compartir su "oasis de calma" un momento de quietud para la gente en movimiento". Durante el podcast se puede escuchar el tictac de un reloj, las páginas giradas y la lluvia cayendo, mientras el grupo se encuentra y se sienta en silencio. ¡Ya es oficial! Las próximas Jornadas de Podcasting de España se celebrarán en los @TeatrosLuchana de Madrid el 5 y 6 de octubre. Visita la web de las JPOD y conoce los primeros datos del evento. Herramientas CleanFeed, el servicio que permite grabar entrevistas online en Mac o Windows acaba de anunciar una nueva versión de su software con actualizaciones del proceso de grabación. Ahora puedes pausar y reanudar la grabación, descargarla y volverla a descargar varias veces. También permite guardar una grabación sobre la marcha, en caso de que surja un problema. Podcast recomendado Catástrofe Ultravioleta Este es un podcast sobre divulgación científica que logra, con bastante humor, crear programas enternecedores, divertidos donde generan hermosos relatos que, además de entretener, educan. Por ejemplo, en el especial ‘Bienvenidos a Onda Marciana’, se realiza una exploración sobre el planeta Marte. En este se discute sobre el pasado, presente y futuro del planeta, además de las posibilidades de terraformación que ofrece. Tips de podcasting El podcast sigue creciendo, sin embargo no se están tomando las estrategias adecuadas para hacerles marketing correctamente. No fomentar el “voz a voz” y no llevar métricas, son dos de las principales fallas. Un equilibrio entre las expectativas que tienes sobre el negocio y lo que la audiencia desea escuchar, es el secreto de un gran podcast. Los podcast en la actualidad tienen millones de oyentes. Conoce como sus anfitriones y productores logran volverlos negocios lucrativos, que incluso han tomado otros formatos, como la televisión y el teatro.
