I Trained Claude to Edit Like Iman Gadzhi! (Complete Guide) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00AI can now create stunning Iman Gadzhi
- 0:02videos just like this one.
- 0:07That entire edit was created only using
- 0:09AI. No After Effects, no animating frame
- 0:11by frame, and no editing software
- 0:13needed. And in this video, I'm going to
- 0:15give you the complete breakdown of how
- 0:17you can create Iman Gadzhi videos using
- 0:19AI from scratch. And if you've never
- 0:21edited anything with AI, or you're new
- 0:22to video editing, [music] don't worry.
- 0:24This is a complete A-to-Z walk-through
- 0:26of everything you need to know. First,
- 0:28we're going to break down the Iman
- 0:29Gadzhi editing style down to each
- 0:31principle [music] in it: the planning,
- 0:32the design, and the animations. Then,
- 0:34I'll walk you through how we trained
- 0:36Claude to think like an Iman Gadzhi
- 0:38professional editor. And finally, I'm
- 0:39going to show you how we created the
- 0:41designs and animations [music] for each
- 0:43scene in this Iman Gadzhi video. All of
- 0:44this so that by the end of this video,
- 0:46you'll be able to take your client's
- 0:48footage, or your own video, and turn it
- 0:50into an Iman Gadzhi premium video only
- 0:52using AI. So, without further ado, let's
- 0:55dive right in.
- 0:58But first, before we start creating
- 0:59amazing Iman Gadzhi designs and stunning
- 1:01animations, let me take the next few
- 1:03minutes to break down the three
- 1:04principles that make up the Iman Gadzhi
- 1:06editing style. Starting with principle
- 1:08number one, planning. When it comes to
- 1:09planning what to show in the video,
- 1:11Iman's team go above and beyond. And to
- 1:13reverse engineer exactly how, we studied
- 1:1510 Iman Gadzhi videos, five of his best
- 1:18performing ones, and five of his latest
- 1:20ones. We extracted every transcript,
- 1:22screenshotted every animation, and
- 1:24aligned each one to exactly what was
- 1:25being said and when it appeared. And
- 1:27after doing this, you start to see a
- 1:28pattern. And this pattern is the secret
- 1:30behind why Iman's videos are so good to
- 1:32watch. The intro and the body are
- 1:34planned completely differently. The
- 1:36intro has two to five times the
- 1:37animations, on average four to 10
- 1:39visuals every minute, while the body
- 1:41sits around two animations per minute.
- 1:43And these animations are never placed
- 1:45randomly. In the intro, there are five
- 1:46types of statements that always get
- 1:48animated: claims and concepts, numbers,
- 1:50chapter transitions, promises and open
- 1:52loops, and autobiographical proof. In
- 1:54the body, it just comes down to four:
- 1:56New information, numbers right after
- 1:58long dry explanations to restimulate the
- 2:00viewer, and proof. And one constant that
- 2:02never changes is every time a chapter is
- 2:05mentioned, the same chapter animation
- 2:06gets reused to help the viewer
- 2:08transition through the storyline. Now,
- 2:10later in the video, you're going to see
- 2:11exactly how we taught Claude this entire
- 2:13planning psychology and used it to
- 2:15create the full plan for our Iman Gadzhi
- 2:17edit. So, make sure to stick around till
- 2:18then. But, knowing where to place
- 2:20animations is half the battle. The real
- 2:21question is, how do we come up with the
- 2:23design for each scene? When it comes to
- 2:24designing scenes for the Iman Gadzhi
- 2:26video, first we have to understand the
- 2:28most important principle, which is
- 2:29color. Iman chooses the accent color for
- 2:31the video based on his recording.
- 2:33Whatever accent color is in the
- 2:34recording, that's the color theme for
- 2:36the animations. Now, out of that color,
- 2:37he extracts a darker variant and a
- 2:39lighter variant. So, if our color theme
- 2:41was red, that's a deep dark red gray and
- 2:43a light warm white. Now, the way that
- 2:45these colors are spread out is the scene
- 2:47is made up of 60% of the darker variant
- 2:49and 30% of the lighter variant and 10%
- 2:52of the accent vibrant color. This color
- 2:54combination stays consistent throughout
- 2:55all the designs and it's what makes
- 2:57every scene feel like part of the same
- 2:59video. Now, with the color broken down,
- 3:00there are four main types of Iman Gadzhi
- 3:02designs that we see consistently in his
- 3:04videos. And understanding these four
- 3:06will help you recreate any Iman Gadzhi
- 3:08video that you want. The first type is
- 3:10on-screen animations. These are fillers
- 3:12between two major chapters that maintain
- 3:14the viewer's retention until Iman
- 3:16transitions. Here, you're going to find
- 3:17bottom of screen text and icon
- 3:18animations, side-by-side object
- 3:20animations, UI elements like graphs with
- 3:22text at the bottom of the screen,
- 3:23graphics taking up one side while Iman
- 3:25takes the other, and lower thirds UI and
- 3:27text designs. The second type is UI
- 3:29animations, where the full screen
- 3:30becomes an animation incorporating UI
- 3:32and text. Here, you're going to find
- 3:34text-focused scenes with one word
- 3:35highlighted or underlined, two object
- 3:37scenes, which are great for comparison,
- 3:39one object plus text scenes revolving
- 3:41around a singular element, and every now
- 3:42and then complex design scenes with
- 3:44advanced shape geometry. The third type
- 3:46is illustrated scenes, typically used
- 3:48when telling some kind of story or
- 3:49experience. Here, you're going to find
- 3:51single character scenes, environmental
- 3:53scenes where the character is doing
- 3:54something, and characters in
- 3:55environments with text describing what
- 3:57they're doing, and more rarely,
- 3:58mysterious scenes with complex
- 4:00illustrations describing a concept. And
- 4:02finally, the last type of scene, which
- 4:04is the weirdest one, is the 3D animation
- 4:06scenes. These are designs composed
- 4:07around three-dimensional elements. These
- 4:09come very rarely and only when Iman
- 4:11really needs the viewer's attention to
- 4:13focus. So, to wrap things up, the four
- 4:14types of Iman Gadzhi designs are
- 4:16on-screen animations, UI animated
- 4:18scenes, illustrated cinematic art, and
- 4:203D animations. Now, training Cloud later
- 4:22on how to recreate each of these types
- 4:24of animations is exactly why our final
- 4:26edit turned out so good. So, stay tuned
- 4:28for that. And real quick, if you enjoy
- 4:30in-depth breakdowns of viral editing
- 4:31styles like these, where you get to
- 4:33learn the back-end psychology of how
- 4:35these amazing videos are created, then
- 4:36you're going to love Ultimate Editors.

- 5:15best part is, by the time you're
- 5:16watching this, we're going to have
- 5:17released the AI editing fundamentals
- 5:19masterclass, where we teach you how to
- 5:21create viral edits like this one using
- 5:23AI in 2026. If you want to go from
- 5:25beginner editor to a viral professional
- 5:27editor creating stunning [music] edits
- 5:29and making $2,000 per month, Ultimate
- 5:31Editors is exactly where you need to be.
- 5:33The link is going to be down below.
- 5:34Editors are joining Ultimate Editors as
- 5:36beginner editors, and they go on to edit
- 5:38viral stunning content and make
- 5:40thousands of dollars every month. So, if
- 5:42you'd like to do the same, the link is
- 5:43going to be down below. But now, with
- 5:45the first two pillars broken down, this
- 5:46brings us to pillar number three. How
- 5:48the Iman Gadzhi animations are created.
- 5:50It all comes down to four animation
- 5:52rules. And first is the text animations.
- 5:54Almost all of Iman's text use a
- 5:55word-by-word pop-up blur fade-in. Each
- 5:58word pops up, fades in, and blurs in.
- 6:00And they all happen sequentially to
- 6:02reveal. And this is exactly how we're
- 6:03going to be writing our prompts later to
- 6:05get the picture-perfect results with AI.
- 6:07Second is the icon animations. Icons get
- 6:09a simple pop-up fade-in that's quick and
- 6:12smooth. Third is the UI animations. UI
- 6:14have a simple pop-up fade-in that starts
- 6:16fast and ends slow and smooth. And
- 6:17elements always animate in sequentially.
- 6:19Certain elements always start first and
- 6:21the rest follow after. And fourth is the
- 6:23camera movement, especially on the
- 6:24illustrated scenes. The character is
- 6:26always interacting with the environment,
- 6:27and most importantly, the camera always
- 6:29has some kind of slow zoom-in or pan
- 6:31animation that keeps the scene active.
- 6:33So now, ladies and gentlemen, that wraps
- 6:34up all the principles to the Iman Gadzhi
- 6:36editing style, the planning, the design,
- 6:38and the animations. So now it's time to
- 6:39teach all of it to AI and train Claude
- 6:42to think exactly how an Iman Gadzhi
- 6:43editor thinks.
- 6:46To better understand how we're going to
- 6:48edit videos in the Iman Gadzhi style
- 6:49using AI, you need to understand this.
- 6:51Claude is a brain. It's able to study
- 6:53things and turn them into learned
- 6:55skills. And then use these skills to
- 6:56execute tasks based on what it studied,
- 6:58which is exactly what we're going to be
- 7:00doing. We're going to be exposing Claude
- 7:01to the training that we put together on
- 7:03how Iman's videos are made so that we
- 7:05can train it to edit like Iman Gadzhi.
- 7:07And it all starts with training Claude
- 7:08on how Iman plans his videos. In order
- 7:10to do this, first I grabbed a few
- 7:12assets, the 10 videos that we studied,
- 7:14all their transcriptions, and all the
- 7:15animations which were planned for them.
- 7:17Then I uploaded them over to Claude and
- 7:19told it to study exactly when every
- 7:21animation was planned, why, and what it
- 7:23included. Then use this analysis to
- 7:25conclude the planning system that Iman
- 7:27Gadzhi editors use. Now, by clicking
- 7:29enter, Claude studied all 10 scripts and
- 7:31every animation. And because of the
- 7:32sheer size of this analysis, it
- 7:34concluded the exact patterns behind how
- 7:36Iman's team thinks when planning
- 7:38animations. So, to test it, I uploaded
- 7:40the script of an Iman Gadzhi video and
- 7:41asked it to plan out the animations. And
- 7:43in the meantime, I did the same thing
- 7:44myself using my 8 years of editing
- 7:46experience. To my surprise, both plans
- 7:48were essentially identical. Claude was
- 7:50officially planning videos like an Iman
- 7:52Gadzhi production team.
- 7:57Now, if you don't know, I can sit here
- 7:59and spend hours and hours training
- 8:01Claude on a task, but you won't have to
- 8:03do that. Because if you download this
- 8:04skill file, your Claude will know
- 8:06everything that I trained my Claude on,
- 8:08which is why I spent almost a week
- 8:10turning this entire style into skills.
- 8:12An editor brain that plans out
- 8:14animations just like Iman Gadzhi, an
- 8:15Iman style designer to design scenes,
- 8:17and an Iman Gadzhi animator to create
- 8:19the animations. If you want access to
- 8:21these skills, I'll be including them in
- 8:23my AI editing fundamentals course in
- 8:24Ultimate Editors. Meaning not only will
- 8:26you be able to learn everything about AI
- 8:28video editing, but you're also going to
- 8:29get premium skills like these that do
- 8:31the editing for you. The link to check
- 8:33out Ultimate Editors is going to be down
- 8:34below. Check it out. But now that Claude
- 8:36was trained to plan just like Iman
- 8:38Gadzhi, it was time to train it on
- 8:39high-quality Iman Gadzhi designs.
- 8:41[music] So, how exactly did we do that?
- 8:43What I did was I first collected a huge
- 8:45pile of every animation that Iman Gadzhi
- 8:47made and put them all in a Figma doc.
- 8:49Then, under each section, I added a
- 8:50breakdown of how each type of animation
- 8:52is created and the different kinds of
- 8:54layouts for each design. [music] So, we
- 8:56had a column that broke down the design
- 8:57fundamentals behind the on-screen
- 8:59animations, one for the UI animations,
- 9:01one for the illustrated scenes, and one
- 9:03for the 3D animations. Then, I took
- 9:05these four PDFs and uploaded them to
- 9:07Claude. And I explained that this is the
- 9:08design fundamentals behind Iman Gadzhi's
- 9:11high-quality design scenes. Study it and
- 9:12analyze every kind of design and
- 9:14associate it with when they were used in
- 9:16the previous scripts. [music] Then,
- 9:17Claude studied these PDFs and created
- 9:19the Iman Gadzhi design brain. A skill
- 9:21that knows the four types of Iman Gadzhi
- 9:23designs and exactly how and when to
- 9:26create them. From the colors to the
- 9:27glows to the layouts, fonts, [music] and
- 9:29everything. And to test it, later in the
- 9:31video, I used this exact skill to design
- 9:33all the amazing scenes for our Iman
- 9:35Gadzhi edit, which is coming up in just
- 9:37a second. Again, if you want to download
- 9:39the full skill that was trained on the
- 9:40four types of Iman Gadzhi designs, it's
- 9:42all going to go live with the editing
- 9:43fundamentals course in Ultimate Editors.
- 9:45But, by this point, Claude was
- 9:46essentially trained on how to plan
- 9:48videos like Iman Gadzhi and how to
- 9:49design each type of scene just like Iman
- 9:51would, which meant that there was one
- 9:53last thing to teach Claude. How to
- 9:54animate just like Iman. And this is how
- 9:56we did it. In order to teach Claude how
- 9:58to animate like Iman Gadzhi, I had to do
- 10:00something special. You see, Claude can't
- 10:02actually watch videos or study
- 10:03animations. So, I had to tell Claude
- 10:05manually what was happening and when it
- 10:07was happening so that it could learn it.
- 10:09So, what I did was I uploaded
- 10:10screenshots of the designs of animations
- 10:12that Iman Gadzhi made. Then, I broke
- 10:14each one down for Claude. First, I
- 10:16uploaded an on-screen animation. I
- 10:17explained to Claude how the word-by-word
- 10:19pop-up blur fade-in animation worked,
- 10:21how the icons pop up fade in smoothly,
- 10:23and how the on-screen animations are
- 10:25animated. Then, I uploaded a UI
- 10:27animation and explained how the icons
- 10:29pop up fade in smoothly, how the UI has
- 10:31a cinematic pop-up fade-in animation as
- 10:32well, and how the camera follows a
- 10:34cinematic zoom-in animation. Then, I
- 10:36uploaded an illustrated scene and
- 10:37explained how the characters live out
- 10:39the environment, how the text pops up,
- 10:41and how most importantly the camera has
- 10:43a pan animation that starts quick and
- 10:45zooms out. After lots of prompting, I
- 10:46was finally able to explain to Claude
- 10:48how these scenes get [music] animated
- 10:50and what makes them the premium Iman
- 10:52Gadzhi style. Then, of course, I asked
- 10:53it to turn this into a skill called the
- 10:55Iman Gadzhi Animator Brain, which again,
- 10:57you can get access to in my AI Editing
- 10:59Fundamentals course in Ultimate Editors.
- 11:01The link's going to be down below. But,
- 11:02now that Claude can plan out videos like
- 11:04Iman Gadzhi, design scenes like Iman
- 11:05Gadzhi, and create smooth animations
- 11:07like Iman Gadzhi, there was one [music]
- 11:08last thing left to do. It was time to
- 11:10put all of this to the test and plug a
- 11:12raw video into Claude and see if it
- 11:14truly is able to create a full Iman
- 11:16Gadzhi style edit from scratch using
- 11:18everything we taught it.
- 11:21This right here is my raw video. It's a
- 11:23segment from an Iman Gadzhi video that
- 11:25he recorded a while back and it's all
- 11:27completely raw. I wanted to see just how
- 11:29good AI can edit this in the Iman Gadzhi
- 11:31style. So, let's find out. The first
- 11:33thing we need to do is plan out the
- 11:34edit, just like Iman Gadzhi. So, I pull
- 11:36up Claude and tell it to load up the
- 11:37Iman Gadzhi editor brain skill. Then, I
- 11:39uploaded the script of the video and
- 11:41prompted it this: Using the Iman Gadzhi
- 11:42editor brain, I want you to think like
- 11:44an Iman Gadzhi editor and plan out the
- 11:46edit for this script. For each line,
- 11:48extract the main subject of the scene,
- 11:49choose whether the scene needs an
- 11:50animation or not, and choose what the
- 11:52animation should be about. And after
- 11:54clicking enter and giving it some time
- 11:55to load, it absolutely blew my mind. It
- 11:57analyzed the script exactly like an Iman
- 11:59Gadzhi editor would, and it planned
- 12:01animations for every segment that needed
- 12:02animating. In total, it planned out 10
- 12:05total animations: a chapter reveal, four
- 12:07chapter references, three AI
- 12:08illustrations, and two dynamic scene
- 12:10designs. And the best part is, it
- 12:12planned them perfectly. They hooked the
- 12:13viewer in, they highlighted new
- 12:14concepts, and showcased everything just
- 12:17how Iman would. With the full plan
- 12:18created, it was time to start turning
- 12:20each scene into an Iman style design.
- 12:22So, let's go ahead and start building
- 12:23that. I then prompted Claude to load up
- 12:25our Iman Gadzhi design brain skill,
- 12:27because we were about to start creating
- 12:28some designs. But before we create the
- 12:30scenes, there's a tiny problem. You see,
- 12:31Claude on its own is a brain. It can't
- 12:34actually generate images or video. So,
- 12:36we connect it to a tool that can, which
- 12:37is Higgsfield. This means that Claude
- 12:39does the thinking and the
- 12:40decision-making, and Higgsfield executes
- 12:42on it and creates the images and
- 12:44animations. And we just keep working
- 12:45inside of Claude as if nothing happened.
- 12:47At the beginning of the video, Iman
- 12:48starts with this clip here. So, I've got
- 12:50a couple things written down, and
- 12:52honestly, I'm just going to spitball
- 12:53these 17 lessons. This clip introduces
- 12:56the subject of the video as 17 life
- 12:58lessons. So, Claude planned to reveal a
- 13:00notebook as the chapter element, with
- 13:02every chapter written inside it. I told
- 13:03Claude the accent color was going to be
- 13:05red, since we could see a hint of red in
- 13:07the background where Iman was recording.
- 13:08And I prompted it to create the design
- 13:10for this scene in the Iman Gadzhi style.
- 13:12Claude thought a little and gave
- 13:13Higgsfield this prompt: In a black and
- 13:15red illustrated theme, create a top-down
- 13:16shot of a notebook on a table in a dark
- 13:18room with elements on the edges for
- 13:20depth. And this is the design it
- 13:21generated. It perfectly fit the brand.
- 13:23Then, using the notebook as a reference,
- 13:25Claude prompted Higgsfield to create an
- 13:26image of this notebook but open. The
- 13:28paper has an off-white warm textured
- 13:30color and inside the title says 17 life
- 13:32lessons and a list of 17 ideas all
- 13:35scribbled. And this is the scene that it
- 13:36created, which looked perfect. Now,
- 13:38these two scenes form the first
- 13:39animation. So, I asked Claude to load up
- 13:41the Iman Gadzhi animator brain and bring
- 13:43them to life. Claude referenced both the
- 13:45notebook shots in Scene Dance 2.0 and
- 13:47prompted the notebook starts closed on
- 13:49the desk then quickly opens as the wind
- 13:51makes the papers jitter revealing the 17
- 13:53life lessons as a slow camera zoom in is
- 13:55constantly happening. There's no music,
- 13:57just [music] sound effects. And this is
- 13:58the animation it generated. This is the
- 14:00perfect chapter element reveal for the
- 14:02beginning of the video. By the way, if
- 14:03you're finding any of this complex and
- 14:04if you've never edited anything with AI
- 14:06before, don't worry. This is exactly why
- 14:08I built the AI editing fundamentals
- 14:09course. I'm going to be breaking down
- 14:11everything you need to create stunning
- 14:12AI edits like these from A to Z. And
- 14:15you're also going to get access to all
- 14:16the Iman Gadzhi skills used in this
- 14:18video. The link is going to be down in
- 14:19the description. But this chapter reveal
- 14:20was only the beginning. The next clip
- 14:22was Iman revealing the first chapter.
- 14:24>> Lesson number one is you need to extend
- 14:27your timeline.
- 14:28>> To list out each chapter, we unscrambled
- 14:30the text and write out the chapter title
- 14:32exactly how Iman does it. So, I prompted
- 14:34Claude to create the chapter animation
- 14:35for chapter one extend your timeline.
- 14:37First, Claude prompted Higgsfield to
- 14:38reference the open notebook and generate
- 14:40a close-up macro shot of lesson number
- 14:42one still scribbled. Then to unscramble
- 14:44the text into the title extend your
- 14:46timeline. Then using these two images as
- 14:47reference with Scene Dance 2.0, it
- 14:49prompted a close-up macro shot of the
- 14:51scribbled text in number one
- 14:52unscrambling and turning into the words
- 14:54extend your timeline as a cinematic
- 14:56camera constantly tilts 3D around the
- 14:58image. And this is what Higgsfield
- 14:59created, a perfect animation revealing
- 15:01our first chapter. And for the three
- 15:02other chapters, Claude repeated the same
- 15:04workflow, unscrambling a different
- 15:05number into each chapter title giving us
- 15:07all four chapter animations for the
- 15:09video. And this was just the beginning.
- 15:11Next up were the three illustrated
- 15:12sequences, which follow a very similar
- 15:14workflow. In the next clip, Iman says
- 15:16this. He's telling a personal story. So,
- 15:18Claude planned to emphasize the emotion
- 15:20with a cinematic illustrated chart of
- 15:22every scenario. Scenario one was the
- 15:23hangout with the friends. Claude
- 15:25prompted Hicksfield in the red and black
- 15:26illustrated style generated a group of
- 15:28friends hanging out having fun on a
- 15:29couch. And this is what it generated. It
- 15:31fit the branding and looked like
- 15:32something straight out of an Iman Gadzhi
- 15:34video. Then to animate it, Claude
- 15:35prompted Hicksfield to use it as a
- 15:37reference as the camera slowly zooms in
- 15:39on this group of teenagers having fun.
- 15:41There's no music, there's just sound
- 15:42effects. And this is our first cinematic
- 15:44scene. Scenario two was about grabbing a
- 15:46beer. Same workflow. Claude references
- 15:47the first scene and creates a group
- 15:49toasting at the bar. Then it animates it
- 15:51with a cinematic slow zoom in as they
- 15:53toast and beer spills everywhere. And
- 15:55scenario three was about watching a
- 15:56football game. Claude generated the
- 15:58group of fans jumping hyped in a
- 16:00football stadium and animated a
- 16:01cinematic zoom in as they
- 16:02enthusiastically jump and scream. Now by
- 16:05combining all three of these, this is
- 16:07what our cinematic illustration looked
- 16:08like. Now real quick, this happens two
- 16:10more times throughout the raw video. On
- 16:11our second section, Iman says this.
- 16:14>> I would walk down the street. You could
- 16:15tell I was on a mission.
- 16:17>> Claude generates a shot of a character
- 16:18walking down the crowded street and a
- 16:20close-up of the eyebrows. And then it
- 16:21turns both into a simple illustrated
- 16:23animation. And on our third scenario,
- 16:25Iman says this.
- 16:26>> If you pick up a girl, if you drop a
- 16:28girl home after a date, if you pay for
- 16:30the bill.
- 16:31>> Claude generates a man opening the door
- 16:32for a woman. The man is taking her home
- 16:34and a top-down shot of him paying the
- 16:36bill. This time with a clean white text
- 16:37on the edge of each scene which looked
- 16:39super high quality. Then Claude turned
- 16:41all of these into high quality animated
- 16:42illustrations using the exact same
- 16:44workflow. Now by this point, most of the
- 16:46edit had animations and it was time to
- 16:48create the final cut. The two dynamic
- 16:50designs. For our first clip, Iman says
- 16:52this.
- 16:52>> And I think that was really just a sign
- 16:54of having a clear direction, a vision
- 16:56for what I could become.
- 16:57>> So Claude planned to show a vision in
- 16:59the center of the scene with a man
- 17:00staring into it and distraction icons
- 17:02floating around the edges. Hicksfield
- 17:04processed a little and this is what it
- 17:06came up with. It fit the branding enough
- 17:07but definitely could have been better.
- 17:08But I still rolled with it. Then Claude
- 17:10prompted Hicksfield to use this as a
- 17:12reference and start the scene with a
- 17:13black background, reveal the vision in
- 17:14the middle with particles and the
- 17:16effects then pop up and fade in the
- 17:17character and finally reveal the
- 17:19distracted icons. Now, this animation
- 17:21actually came out really solid. And for
- 17:23our second section, Iman mentions this.
- 17:25>> Focus on learning skills that are
- 17:27practical. Focus on starting businesses
- 17:29or careers that are practical.
- 17:31>> So, Claude planned a brain receiving
- 17:32information in the same style. It
- 17:34prompted a design in the middle with
- 17:36circular patterns emerging and two hands
- 17:38reaching in from the edges with
- 17:39information. Then, it used it as a
- 17:40reference to create this beautiful
- 17:42animation. Which, by this point with the
- 17:44chapter animation done, the illustrated
- 17:46scenes and the dynamic designs, every
- 17:47animation in the video was officially
- 17:49complete. And after adding them into the
- 17:51video, I just couldn't believe how good
- 17:52this turned out. Check it out.
- 17:54>> I've got a couple things written down
- 17:55and honestly, I'm just going to spitball
- 17:57these 17 lessons. Lesson number one is
- 18:00you need to extend your timeline. I can
- 18:02tell you that I have missed out on so
- 18:04many hangout with the friends, grab a
- 18:06beer with the friends, watch the
- 18:08football game. It is so easy to see the
- 18:10final product and think that you need to
- 18:13rush when quite frankly, you don't. The
- 18:15next life lesson is walk with purpose. I
- 18:17remember even from the age of 15 or 16,
- 18:20I would walk down the street. You could
- 18:22tell I was on a mission and I think that
- 18:23was really just a sign of having a clear
- 18:26direction, a vision for what I could
- 18:28become. Now, the next thing is to focus
- 18:30on practicality and not purpose. Focus
- 18:33on learning skills that are practical.
- 18:35Focus on starting businesses or careers
- 18:37that are practical. Focus on becoming a
- 18:40gentleman. Do not listen to all of these
- 18:42guys that have never lived in the real
- 18:43world telling you, "Oh, you're a simp if
- 18:46you pick up a girl, if you drop a girl
- 18:48home after a date, if you pay
- 18:49>> [music]
- 18:49>> for the bill." I don't know who raised
- 18:51some of these kids because quite
- 18:52clearly, they're not actual men. The way
- 18:54that I was raised is as a man, you pay
- 18:56for the bill. And if you cannot pay for
- 18:57the bill, if you cannot afford to, and
- 18:59when I was younger, I was in that
- 19:00position. Well, then guess what? [music]
- 19:02Get to work. Ladies and gentlemen, this
- 19:03brings us to the end of the video and
- 19:05this makes us realize something very
- 19:07shocking. I think it's very evident that
- 19:08video editing is slowly going from
- 19:10mastering the editing programs and the
- 19:12viral editing styles into learning how
- 19:14you can utilize AI to do the technical
- 19:16work so that you as a video editor can
- 19:19focus on coming up with the creative
- 19:20[music] scenes. This by no means claims
- 19:22that video editing is dead because of
- 19:24AI. As a matter of fact, I think it's
- 19:26more alive than ever. Now AI can do all
- 19:28of the heavy work like the animating and
- 19:30the designs while you can focus on doing
- 19:31the things that matter like analyzing
- 19:33the video for where the best animations
- 19:35need to be and using AI to create that
- 19:37video for you. But with all this being
- 19:38said, thank you guys so much for
- 19:39watching all the way to the end of the
- 19:40video and I'm very very interested to
- 19:42know what do you guys think of AI video
- 19:44editing? When you hear AI video editing,
- 19:45do you instantly get defensive? Do you
- 19:47feel angry about it? Or are you open to
- 19:49discovering AI and learning new tools
- 19:51that can make your workflow easier? Let
- 19:53us know in the comments down below. But
- 19:54in the meantime, stay tuned for our next
- 19:55video and feel free to check out one of
- 19:57these two tutorials which are just as
- 19:59valuable as the one that you just
- 20:00watched. Thanks a lot for everything
- 20:01guys and we'll see you next time.
