From March 2022 to October 2023, I worked on a full-time basis (1 video a week) for Astro Fécond, a reaction-based YouTube channel. The channel's owner, Chris Conte, is a multi-potential YouTuber (he has four YouTube channels!) and fiction writer. To quote his YouTube banner, "let's explore the human genius together!" 👨🔬
An Astro Fécond video is made of a minimum of 8 "items" related to the main theme/subject of the video being reacted to and explained by Chris, followed by a "grade". ✔️
Before starting a project, I'll download the raw video(s) and have a Google Document containing the links to the items Chris is reacting to.
After that, what I had to do was usually the same for each project:
To streamline the process, I use a plugin to remove dead air/silence from the raw video and edit each items individually before bringing them to the main timeline for export.
My personal touch was adding pop-up images at the bottom corners of the screen to emphasize something:
And possibly, visual effects:
Once the video is validated after revisions, it's scheduled to be released and I wait for my next project! 😉
Even if the process was streamlined, finding appropriate stock footage, music and additional resources could be time consuming. 🕐
The key was good organization and time management to meet the deadline!
