Hi girlies! So, as promised, Spill it Girlies is sometimes a bonus episode, and sometimes it’s just us answering your submissions. Well today... you get me!

Thank you Emmy for the question about video editing! Not sure how many of you other girlies are also editing girlies there but hopefully this is helpful for some of you! And if you’d like more of this type of advice or even something a bit more specific, let me know!

Check out my friend Austin’s channel that I mentioned in the video:www.youtube.com/austinnewman 

The video on my personal channel that Austin and I made a while back:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZf8J8GHRIc

The subscription-based websites I mentioned:www.motionarray.comwww.envatoelements.com www.epidemicsound.com

Ommmmmgggg yay lilly lmao

Jimmy Croall

That was really fascinating, even though I don’t know so needed to learn about editing

Kylie

Side note you look absolutely gorgeous!

Sam

I love this Lily! Getting back into editing (and filming) and wanting to upskill myself in it. Mega helpful video. Have subscribed to Austin so I can go through his videos and pick up some new tips and tricks. 🙂

Andrew Giglio

Love this episode. Your film school experiences brought back a flood of memories.

Sammy-P

Lily, this was so informative and honest, I loved this! I've been wanting to get more into editing and this really gave me the push I needed:)

abby ◡̈

So beautiful!🤍

Loved this Lily! I wanted to study editing in school, but ended up going in a different direction. Twenty years later, it's still an interest of mine so I started a channel a while back with the sole goal of making content so I had a reason to practice. My inner child has loved it! One thing that's helped me is finding channels that have a style I like, paying close attention, then attempting to do the same thing. DWKT is one of those channels! I still haven't figured out the purple/pink DWKT background that moves back and forth -- haven't even managed to find a preset of that one. But I'll figure it out one day! Would love to hear more anytime you feel like sharing!

Paola

I dont really go here but I watched this whole thing lol, very interesting! I would like to learn how to edit little short form vlog style videos

peachxtaehyung

Thank you for the Lily! I do editing but it's EXTREMELY basic lol I was using kinemaster pro but I have a new laptop so I got wondershare filmora but it won't let me get pro and the free version has a huge full length watermark so I'm trying to find a different one lol. So yeah. But I'm trying my best to get better at editing

peachxtaehyung

How do you do the neon frames you use for assets? I wanted to do something like that one day but I couldn't figure it out especially to make it follow the actual assets movement

Emmy G

MY TIME HAS COME!!! Thanks for answering my question, it was also unbelievably comforting to hear you got your degree kinda so you could say you had the degree but knew the work would come after college by working your way up. I feel that is a common film experience, you are fs not weird for that To answer your question I graduated in 2022!

amelia

omg lily filming her first short film at age 8 like def noodles 🥰

amelia

literally stunningggg

USC school of cinematic arts is my alma mater, and despite it being a renowned program, I did not learn really anything that was that practical for the film industry lol. This was almost 20 years ago mind you but it was during peak Spielberg and George Lucas days. And even still… I couldn’t agree more with Lily’s sentiment. I pretty much went for the degree and the connections. Film school is a funny thing eh. I dreamed of going to film school growing up but I 100% glamorized it in my head and it really isn’t the be all end all, i suppose. I learned how to produce and production manage/coordinate basically on the job over the 10 years I was in the industry. Good luck with your career!

Mystiana

i love how other people are also interested in the editing aspect! that’s honestly kind of my main motivation to joining patreon, to pick lily’s brain about her skills and journey (but i got too shy to ask so i was waiting hehe). thanks for sharing lily, and please continue to share your knowledge and experiences!

Maggie

Lily, you give such great protective big sister vibes. You seem like the kind of person you could tell absolutely anything and you’d get a genuine, loving, level headed response. You’re also fiercely loyal and protective and ready to put someone in their place for the people you love. Those are the greatest friends and the best people to go to for advice❤️ thanks for being our internet big sis🥰

Nina Cael

so wonderful to see you happy and inspired!

chloe jane mclaughlin

i’ve been working on a BA in “film and media studies” through ASU and i feel like i’m learning nothing so this is very very comforting

Bdazzld Nails

Can’t wait to watch this. I edit my own nail videos and I’m literally winging it lol Just because I make pretty nails doesn’t mean I’m good at editing videos 😮‍💨😮‍💨 or making thumbnails 😭

Ana Fox

This was a dream!!! ❤️🙏🏼

Bee

I’ve been (VERY casually) editing since like 2012 and I love learning new tricks but I’m so stubborn I found random apps that are like knockoffs of photoshop, Final Cut, etc. and have just used those since i started 🤣 this was super helpful!

Cry$tal

The way I was taking notes all throughout this. Super helpful!

Jordan

I couldn't agree more about getting into the film industry. I work in the Midwest and haven't been formally trained through any kind of college. On the job is the best way to get practical, useful experience. Editing is my weak point. I do okay at the basics, but shooting, lighting, and photography are my bread and butter. But I want to get more editing skills so I'm soaking all this up

Mollie

Thanks Lily! I was hoping you would mention the asset sites/collections you use. Envato is always recommended to me while I'm searching for free assets and templates so I'm happy you mentioned them. I'm starting a new video series at work and wanted to find a less common title template than the free one I've been using 😅 Thank you for sharing!

Lucky Cat

very helpful resources! also this is the first time i’ve heard someone say chat gpt actually helped them do something correctly 🤯

ButterPecanRican

I also went to college for the credential and not the actual education 😅. Got my bachelor's in business, graduated summa cum laude, and don't feel any wiser. Everything I've learned about business, I've learned at work and through the occasional mentor willing to take me under their wing.

Bianca Simon

There was something so endearing and kind in this. I love it. I have zero interest in learning how to do this but I enjoyed watching and listening.

Liz

Does the software still work?

Victoria

In terms of getting software like any of the Adobe products, check with your local library to see if they offer access to the software. A lot of libraries have subscription based services that you can access for free with your library card!

Kevin Abroad

I'd love more videos on editing or how the podcast is made!!

Banana Bread Marie

I remembering going with my dad to get our first thumb drive. The tech world is really something else!

Corinne

Petition for you to release your old vlogs

Emma

Lily! I just rewatched yt ep 12, about the Don’t Worry Darling drama. And i just realized you mentioned liking scary movies! I looove scary movies! If you have a letterboxd, plz drop it 🙏🏻💕

michelle mel

Would like to add - you can most definitely still pirate software, even if it is subscription based. You would just need to make sure to pirate the standalone software. For example, any form of Adobe suite before 2024 can be downloaded with full features. I'm also very sure that if you look around on forums there will be people who have figured out how to get around the subscription based restrictions.
