The MKBHD team (aka Marques Brownlee's YouTube team) gives a full masterclass on how they make high quality video.
Why is this relevant? They cut in Final Cut Pro - woohoo!
It's a really awesome video - and Mariah Zenk gives some amazing insight into how and why she cuts things together. She's awesome.
What I find most interesting is the lack of emoji's in the Library!
All the event names and underscores just make me feel like a technician - not an artist.
I'm personally a BIG fan of using emoji's - it makes Final Cut Pro more colourful and fun:
You can watch the editing section on YouTube here:
Thanks for sharing JonnyLewisFilms!
I've just linked straight to the editing section above, but it's totally worth watching the whole thing - especially the audio section, which is super fun and interesting.
Although I am very surprised they're using Sennheiser MKH 416 Shotgun Microphones for their interior shoots, as opposed to a hyper-cardioid microphone, like a Schoeps CMC641, Sennheiser MKH 8050 or a Audio Technica AT4053B (this video is worth a watch for anyone interesting in learning more!).
I'm also surprised how far away they're positioned the microphone - generally you want the microphone to be as close as possible to the talent, ideally no more than a foot away.
Here's some screenshots from the video:
I LOVE that the MKBHD is so open and happy to share all this amazing insight! Great work team!
