This has been working pretty well for me...and helping me make 30-65 clips from each 1 hour podcast I do (currently I don't have a team). I go through and edit each podcast episode in Descript - as I'm editing, I pay attention to segments I think would make good short form clips, and I highlight them as I go. It's helpful to use alternating colors for each highlight, so the next step is easier. Then when finished editing, I use the "copy all highlights" feature and paste them into a new composition. That composition is then just made up of all my highlights (aka my clips). - I call it "All Clips" From there - I open up the "all clips" composition -- switch over to vertical Aspect ratio, highlight each clip and create a new composition with them. For now, I create unique compositions for each clip. I'm thinking of testing using "Markers" in the All Clips composition so I can name them all in one place and then just export them all in one movement by exporting "by markers". But I haven't tested that yet.

You can literally hack your video editing speed. It used to take me 3 hours to edit a high quality video, now it takes me 25 minutes. Here's 5 plugins I use to do so: (I cut and do sound design in Premiere and I edit in After Effects. All of these are After Effects plugins.) - Animation Composer (Paid): Animate layers and text without keyframes - AE Juice (Paid): Presets and stock video within after effects - KEase (Free): Automatically ease your keyframes and copy and paste easing. You can even save your custom eases in here. I use this for zooms. - AtomX (Paid): Presets, I mainly use this for transitions. (basically AE Juice, but higher quality.) - Motion Tools Pro (Free): Sequence your keyframes and quickly adjust your anchor point. Lots more but that's what I use it for. Here's an example of a video I edited using these plugins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxUZTtPSYK4&ab_channel=zeromrtn Happy editing everyone 🙂

Hi, I'm really excited to be here, but feeling like a total newb at the moment...I upgraded my zapier last night and set up some automations (Following the steps in Stephen's Youtube videos - the google drive to airtable to youtube one, and then just the simple google drive to youtube one...they test fine but when I turn them on they haven't triggered automatically once. Is there something simple I'm missing? Thanks!
