This video contains pretty much EVERYTHING I know about editing YouTube videos in Final Cut Pro. I got lots of questions and I wanted to answer everything as completely as possible, so settle in for the longest video I've ever uploaded (aside from the study with me ones, those don't count lol).

I'll be teaching you my workflow, as well as specific techniques I use to make my videos ~schnazzy~, and of course it wouldn't be a Bliss Bean video if I didn't also give you some tips for editing PRODUCTIVELY (yes, you can make creative, artsy videos AND edit efficiently at the same time)

There's a lot in here, so scroll down a bit for a helpful table of contents :) And don't forget to SHARE this video with someone!! I worked hard on it hehe :')
