"Weekly ApparelX" Tips on editing youtube videos

About three weeks ago, the company started filming Weekly ApparelX series videos on Youtube. On the Weekly ApparelX channel , Mr. Yamayoshi and Mr. Kayaba are the youtubers who will introduce information about textile and accessory materials every week. I occasionally make vlogs about my life, so I only know the basic operations, but I was assigned to edit the videos. The editing job was more fun than I expected, so I would like to share with everyone what I know about my daily work.

What I learned from editing

To put it simply, the editing involved cutting out the margins of the original video, adding background music, and adding Japanese subtitles. . . This is detailed work such as. Regardless of cuts and BGM, I think adding subtitles is a big challenge. I only add subtitles to keywords and key points, but there are so many technical terms that it's difficult for me to grasp the main points of the story. Therefore, in order to understand the overall meaning, it is necessary to listen to the story you do not understand many times. Editing is a little complicated, but I think it has a lot of advantages.

learned specialized knowledge

First of all, this allows you to remember the characteristics and specialized knowledge of the products introduced. ApparelX currently has thousands of products, as shown in the red box below.

I don't think it would be possible for a beginner like me to memorize the characteristics of jutsu products, but I think it would be a good idea to start by memorizing one or two things every day.

Yesterday, I introduced the broadcloth textile treated with FLUTECT , so I learned that FLUTECT is an antiviral treatment. It is also useful against coronavirus. To be cautious, viruses are living organisms, so it is difficult to physically resist them, but the results of experiments on textile treated with FLUTECT do indeed reduce the number of certain viruses on the fibers.

You can also study chemistry knowledge!

Next, I not only acquired specialized knowledge in apparel, but also knowledge in other fields. For example, the deodorant deodorizing tape that I introduced for the first time had a slightly unpleasant feeling, but I learned more about the odor components, such as acetic acid is the main component of sweat odor, and isovaleric acid is the main component of stuffy feet. .

Is it deodorizing? Shushu?

Needless to say, I think video editing is also useful for learning Japanese. I have lived in Japan for 1 year and 9 months, and I have learned that if you do not understand the meaning of a single letter, you may misinterpret the entire meaning of the sentence. The following is how I feel when I come across a vocabulary word that I don't know, and no matter how many times I ask it, I still don't understand it.

For example, when I first heard about deodorant tape, I thought, "Scrunch tape? A little bit of tape????" What kind of deodorant is that? Is this?

I was a little nervous. In yesterday's video, I talked about the new coronavirus, which is a subspecies of the coronavirus, so I learned the vocabulary of subspecies.

lastly

Regarding video editing, I wanted to put the company logo etc. neatly at the beginning and end of the video, so I practiced it while watching videos that teach video editing. During that time, I learned how to use green screen. If you are interested, please take a look.

I'm a beginner, so I think there are a lot of things I'm lacking in, both in Japanese and in the videos. I would be very happy if you could make a cross-rib knit.

That's all for today's share. Thank you for reading to the end.
