How I Completely Automated My YouTube Editing

Donald Feury on May 04, 2020

If you've been watching my videos from the posts I make on here (thank you if you have), I got a dirty little secret... I haven't done any man...

Cool, always like to see some good old automation. Big fan of that.

Have you heard about that dude that automated all his work for 6 years, gaining 95k a year, he even introduced errors to not raise suspicions, and got fired when they found out.

I don't know if it's 100% real, but worth checking it out.

Right? I would've asked him what ELSE he could completely automate

Totally, I would have valued him a lot more after that, It would have saved a lot of money to the company... although he lied about it for 6 years.

I mean, did they ever ask? You can't lie about something if its never brought up

Yup, that's true, I would have not had any problems with it...

Only reason I say that is, as long as you are getting done what you are suppose to on time, your employer doesn't tend to ask questions.

At least, no where I've worked would ask questions.

That has also been my case, I think they ask more questions when you don't get the stuff done than when you do.

I also remember struggling with Adobe Premiere and not being able to understand the settings, to remove the background noise from the video and so on. I wanted to do some quick editing, so I found the editor from Movavi play.google.com/store/apps/details... and I am using it now. In general it is very automated, no need to press ten keys to do a simple effect, as it was in Adobe.

Damn, this is cool. Thanks for the full explanation, actually i used this for combining some audio files with adelay that i was struggling with for days :)).
Is there a better way for overlaying audio files?
