and nine eight seven six five four three two one oh oh my god
you're a freaking maniac did i make it
what's actually better for video editing mac or pc to find out we are going to be
pitting the one and only the legendary
i justine against our very own taryn van heemert
the so-called macro king of Linus tech tips video editing which one will
prevail only time will tell to find out
we're gonna have both of you editing a real actual austin evans video and then
the final edit is going to be reviewed by our panel of celebrity judges
i am feeling a little nervous i'm really
excited i mean i pretty much edit every single day so it's just another day do
you feel more like the underdog or the defending champ going into today i think
i'm the defending champ i feel like usually i am kind of an underdog because
i think people sometimes don't even realize that i edit a lot of my videos
for over the past like 13 14 years that i've been doing this i know you've been
telling me Linus he's right over there he's like why don't you get an editor
trying taran had some concerns about going up against you so i talked to
Linus i said i'm afraid it might be too easy for me to win
because i'm a power user and justine is not he thought that it was going to be a
bloodbath oh a bloodbath and Linus says
she is a power user in fact she's edited
more videos than you have i've edited over a billion views on my youtube
channel in final cut justine is a shark
and if you're a guppy she'll eat you alive that is pretty much what i said
how much time do we have we have four hours oh four that's plenty of time the
time limit i'm not a fan i mean sometimes i will
shoot the video edit the video within five hours and
then i post it and make the thumbnail austin says that his editors usually
take five to eight hours to edit a typical video so it's not gonna be great
but it'll be something if you lose how let down do you feel like mac editors
everywhere are going to be
my dog has already left me if i lose yeah people will be
disappointed i'll look kind of dumb like how many freaking keyboards did he bring
probably like 500. i do not have 500
keyboards the audience calls me the macro king because i use a lot of macros
in my daily work to speed things up i'm just going to use a track pad
so i have the new 16 inch macbook pro which is kind of crazy because that
extra screen real estate has been incredible for final cut so i'm editing
on the ASUS zenbook pro duo taren would have an extra screen built
into his laptop gosh
we're we're setting up now we're setting up now so you're my camera guy got my
dog's bed i have my blanket because i don't like to be cold when i'm editing i
got my small mini version of my dog just in case
i also have two different chapsticks i require a wrist rest now so when we do
event coverage like ces nab pax i will
always bring the laptop an external keyboard and mouse i also brought a
stream deck this time did you bring this box
yes i did he's the only editor in our building
that has their own room to edit in he sounds like a diva oh
my god don't tell him i said that we won't tell him we're just going to
have it in the video although he said he's the enemy this is
unfair this is unfair he's gonna edit all the things he doesn't like maybe i
should edit this i also have trail mix
and my water bottle the best part about winning i think is just winning although
i mean i'm not really that competitive so i'm not going to be like that upset
about it she seems pretty confident she's going down
so ladies and gentlemen you're all set up so this for each of you is one two
terabyte external drive it's fast enough that you could edit off of it this is a
Thunderbolt drive or you can copy the footage to your local machine should you
prefer the timer is now
running oh i just got a little nervous
i'm copying my stuff gosh i wish i could see his face right now
i'm not gonna copy my stuff is there anything else we should know no not
really all right 200 gigs done copying already not bad oh
there's a script in here who uses scripts
oh the audio's not synced
he has a lut this is so easy
chrome os ever since i got to take a look at some audio is kind of noisy like
it's got like an auto limiter or an auto something i'm dealing with it for for
now but got the lot in i've got some a-roll
we've got a vicious dog so basically a-roll is footage of
someone talking whereas b-roll is footage of the thing that they're
talking about oh of course you did two takes austin yeah so now i gotta edit
the whole thing i just edited and do it again see this is a classic taren
editing move right here he's using double speed to watch through and scrub
through all of his footage because he unlike justine is used to working with
footage that was shot by mere mortals who need multiple takes it's funny i
feel like i've been making videos a long time she's been doing it like way longer
than me what is he even talking about you like talking about chick-fil-a and
chromebook i love chick-fil-a at least
so justine is already inserting humorous
elements into the video only about 25 minutes in she's got some test tones and
a beep maybe she's mocking austin for needing more than one takes
25 minutes is about two-thirds of the way through cutting down his a-roll
removing any of the extra fluff or outtakes is justine farther than me
don't worry about it dude i am worried about it
i wonder if austin knows how funny he is he's like he's really funny like his
outtakes are so good
just over half an hour in taryn is close to the end of editing down the a-roll
and one thing i will say about his setup is that it may look ridiculous but his
back's a lot straighter now this is something i didn't see
coming justine has a second screen of her own she's actually propped her
iphone up on her computer using it as a phone stand
and put austin's script on it scripts i
like it never used a script before and make sure to make me look good
how's it going great i'm adding sound effects
you know i've already got my soundtrack in yeah
i'm trying to find a file i don't know where i went done with a roll cutting
and i'm adding all the crap on top although i don't see
any notes about what shots go with what so i might call him is calling austin an
option sure is wait he's calling austin no it's not
picking no not available he might call back
40 minutes in their different editing styles are already very apparent taryn
has the entire a-roll cut but hasn't
really done anything to it yet justine by contrast has done the first chunk of
her a-roll and is polishing it up before
she's planning to move on we'll see which one works out better keep going
for macros that i don't actually have anymore i have a skill marker that's
supposed to be right here for this competition i've elected not to
use any premier macros because i want it to be
normal premiere versus normal final cut i will still be using Windows macros
like my scroll wheel acceleration but that's it okay i'm freezing i have to
turn the air down like mr tunnel it's a little chilly look i'm so cold oh my
gosh this is why i edit with a blanket oh what kind of snacks are over here
so we are 80 minutes in taran has requested a new chair i'm a fifth of the
way through the overlay and justine has just returned from her
first potty break of which he assures us there will be many yeah i haven't
started doing any of the b-roll parts but i have little markers to know where i want to put stuff you feeling pretty
good i'm feeling okay okay yeah
i'll get out of your way yeah bye hey austin uh you say show the ASUS
model in hand during this a-roll but i don't think you got any shots of that did you
what you got i'm talking what say austin say that again i i will just dm it to you yeah
thank you please do
oh my gosh a cookie delivery i snack and
edit at the same time i like to call it editing why is media pending oh
uh oh what time substitution recursion
what is he owing about so it looks like taran had to relaunch premiere i just
i'm just trying to make a new folder have you seen this before uh double
check make sure your external drive is still connected i would try unplugging it and plugging it back in
okay it's here now i chose not to move all the files off of the
external drive because it was going to take three minutes i should have done
that because i just it just cost me more than three minutes oh my gosh how many
times is he gonna say the same thing over and over again
you are at half time how you doing good i mean i have everything done
everything's pretty much laid out so now i'm just making it better okay wow two
hours to polish yeah i'm pretty hyped about it how are you doing
i'm halfway done do you consider everything to the left fully polished uh
pretty much the purple part is i might cut it later and
i also still need to add music okay yeah okay how are you feeling about your
chances justine is a worthy opponent that's how i feel
that's not what you said before we started well looks like i'm learning my
lesson
are you okay over there oh yeah i'm just kind of uncomfortable
um me too i'm freezing you want to go outside maddie i don't
have austin's credentials for epidemic sound i already have all my music picked
out i'm kind of bad at choosing good music
so i'm pretty sure justine's music selection is going to be better than
mine we are two-thirds of the way through how you feeling he's gonna
probably want to hire me full-time now ooh i see some fun little we've got some
little things don't talk uh this could be a lot better i got lost
in the weeds because he's not following his script so i didn't know where it was
i'm pretty much just adding music at this point once i get that login from
james i need the login i have no there you go it finally
appeared you seem stressed answer that go away
justine is familiar with the audio library that we're using and he's not
because she happens to use the same one as austin
so i used to edit on final cut 7 that's how i learned actually and i switched
over to premiere when they moved to final cut x which everybody hated at the
time uh and the funny thing is justine went the other way around
honestly when you're ready to switch over you don't even have to send a
resume i'm i'll hire tyler and i are ready we're looking for an editor
yeah now that the seconds are ticking are you feeling some tension yeah i am
because my jokes i'm just not it's not happening i noticed you tried to poach
one of my editors a little while ago do you want to come work from it's great
we can all work together to be really lovely so i'm less worried now i have all but
one music track in um that was the bottleneck that i was
really worried about i'm leaving you for justine by the way and i have all my
jokes in already all your jokes are in already yeah it's a little light on the
second half but i do see that yeah oh my god my heart rate's 82 it's usually 50.
holy crap i'm not okay
james can you get us those usb drives for the delivery wait there's a there's
a usb drive for delivery you didn't know that no you just didn't tell me anything
yeah that was his responsibility to tell you that i mean it's probably
rendering in the background it is yeah yeah well
it's cool is there anything else we should know no
not really all right
we're down to the home stretch now she is stress eating i'm just rendering now
because we only have 16 minutes and time keeps going i know
it keeps going up that's it's going up more shut up
justine is so focused right now that i'm kind of afraid to talk to her i don't
even really have time to watch the final video and make changes
and fixes so like i have to do one last watch through
yeah this is just timeline previews that's the way that we do it do i need to put my name on this the judges are
not supposed to know whose video is whose they'll know because the better
one's gonna be mine yeah yeah yeah yeah it's still four thirteen four fourteen
four thirteen four yes
you have a file i think i have a file she's having a file i'm adding a vial
all we need is for this to not fail
18 17 16 15 14 13 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. oh my
god you're a freaking maniac i honestly
think that i was like one or two seconds late wait he didn't copy the file no
it's already on the thing
actually you probably had a good 30 seconds of leeway in there then because
justine exported to the drive then copied and we decided once you were
copying you were clear i have never seen anything like this
my name is farooq which means the judge literally and i'm
here to judge my channel name is ifondo i'm i'm nico i'm one of the people from
corridor i guess one of the founders you could say but yeah we make cool videos
on youtube hi my name is jenny's eric and i'm a youtube content creator so i'm
kyle i own and operate the bitwit youtube channel and
that's the end of that answer how many years experience do you have video
editing too long more than a decade probably i believe i have about eight
years of final cut experience i've actually never tried premiere i was in
this competition i'd be competing for the pc side i'm a big pc guy used to be
mac and then i got tired of paying double for hardware
i i started with pc and then i in time i
switched to mag i love them both so i have zero experience at final cut
because it's clearly the inferior platform i will gladly eat my words if
the final cut person wins for a quick edit
i would my gut would tell me that final cut would win because i feel like final
cut has been marketed and made for quick edits stream of consciousness editing so
how are you going to be unbiased i couldn't help noticing your last name is
the same as one of our contestants don't tell my sister but a lot of the times i
don't watch her videos oh god just watch it
hey guys this is austin chrome os
cleaner simpler which just worked cleaner the simpler oh oh oh oh b-roll
is a little weird justine oh i didn't use that shot i don't know what was for
his color grade shifts yeah it's almost like did they forget or is that
intentional i like that nice transition
oh she's doing a music montage and it
actually works not that lots of people with chromebooks are fun not sound
effect i like it this has more personality than
mine it does i'm afraid it's better wow
you use graphics oh my gosh oh she did a graphic oh come on
she had that pre-made there's that shot a third time look at that subscribe push
are they gonna even go for the notification there you go got the bag there you go
there you go there you go
and make sure to make me look good
pretty good yeah i did notice like there were some parts of the audio kind of
dropped for me the music was not helping what was being told so there were a
couple of shots that were repeated one of the animations was a little derpy but
other than that it was real solid
hey guys this is austin i like that he showed the youtube video
we used a lot of the same takes for sure the vegan option of pcs
not sorry not vegan plant-based diet i edited that part out you can be ginger
and still be loved so i don't i don't see why not oh wow
i also edited this out because i didn't want to offend anybody uh oh that title
is supposed to be at the end that's points off make sure those judges are aware
this seems very long how long is this video probably a window see oh he okay he
actually did put it there thanks for editing my video hopefully it
wasn't that long and make sure to make me look good
that was cute i like that little end okay all right it was it was good that one
wins just for that last shot definitely fewer graphics yeah a lot of fewer
graphics the first one was prettier i think i preferred the color grading in
the first one yeah it actually like popped a little bit more i'm very
obsessed about editing out gaps he just left some really long rants in i mean
they're both good it's in a way it's like i feel like the ultimate version is
like a combination of the two like some of the punches in a second with the
graphics from the first judges i assume you have all deliberated
i see two pieces of paper in front of you on the count of three who you
thought the first video was one
two three
seventy-five percent of you were correct
we'll go with justine first just think your video was great it was a
little bit untidy the graphics were nicely placed i thought the music wasn't
helping but in the end i thought which one i would watch
your piece was very pretty you had some great graphics work the b-roll felt a
little bit like i need something to feel the space i'm just going to take some
shots of him on the computer
the audio levels were a little all over the place yeah it was really hard to
tell and also i usually never edit with headphones on and i had to because i was
being courteous to my opponent here all
in all good work thank you i haven't cried yet
enter jenna oh no justine
i think your video was very well edited i loved the color grading the music was
kind of could have done maybe without it a
little bit like it just kind of threw me off but overall you kept my attention
and i enjoyed it thank you jenna you are welcome um i felt like where the video
was sort of lacking in certain areas you kind of made up for it in other ways despite all the technical issues or
errors it's a youtube video people aren't it's not a feature film it was
how fun is this to watch you hit the nail on the head there i also just
got a new transition back so i was getting super hyped about it
that explains it i just downloaded it last night so i've never tried it i was
like oh these are fun taryn i felt like your video was
definitely a bit more concise you didn't have quite as many technical errors as
justine but i also feel like she took a few more risks than you did it was a
really good use of like b-roll but uh all together good job thank you okay hi
all right so i will say that i really appreciated how you left in all like the
humorous little parts the zooming was a little bit too much for me i liked your
music selection a lot better oh thank you it was really good really oh this is
a good i thought my music would be much worse really oh yeah i enjoyed your
music i liked mine um the coloring was a little off but
overall i still really enjoyed your video thank you spoiler alert i just
used the lut that austin provided i slapped it on there and i did nothing
else weird yeah so did i have no time which must
mean that final cut did a better job no
no there are scopes in premiere by the way well the lut was also created on final
cut i don't know if that makes a difference it shouldn't i will compare the two of
them later they say a movie is written three times once in the script once in
production and once in the edit yes sir and i could feel you rewriting that
video which i liked the cut is the most basic tool you have as an editor and
then you utilize that cut very effectively you'd use it to emphasize beats you'd use it to emphasize jokes
and i could feel your voice in the edit your edit what didn't quite have the
production quality that justine's had but all in all uh i feel like there was
a perspective behind the edit and i thought i thought that was good cool hi
there i liked your video a lot oh thank you i thought it was very clean your jump cuts
were much better even though it was boring
and uh that's fair
i'm sorry no i bring it when you think about this going
to be on youtube and what kind of people are going to watch this yeah this is
where they're going to click away think about that all the time yeah the tmz
style zooming in and out just rubbed me the
wrong way too much overall it was a really good video all right
kyle i'm going to have you go first okay score for the first video first
whipping it out out of ten 8.5 okay
and for taren oh
that was such a bad reveal
but that's a seven for taren dylasi well uh welcome to the seven club justine
okay thank you lucky seven taran
welcome to the 7.5 club yes
we canceled each other out okay another seven
for justine and for turn
oh what is that what is it so final tally
is 30 out of 40 for justine
26.5 for taryn and your prize is a lollipop giant
lollipop i actually i'm finding out about this right now for the first time
now you guys both watched each other's edits yes do you agree or disagree with
the judges i'll get justine to go first i mean my only thing was just pacing
because like i was even getting bored editing i was like i've got to speed
this up so i just kind of split it up like montages and stuff so there's definitely things that i noticed that
you did and i was like i wish i would have done that but again we ran out of time
i thought justine's was better oh thank you yeah i had to eat a big slice of
humble pie why did you think it was better uh it was just it was more
dynamic it was it was more interesting less robotic i edited out some of the
things that i thought were funny because i wanted to be safe but i was already
thinking of what the youtube comments would be i felt bad i didn't want him to get i don't even read the youtube
comments well usually you're not in them so it doesn't hurt as bad the editor's
supposed to be invisible it's true well well wait a minute no
today not today no and maybe that's a bad philosophy
actually so you won i did
i'm pretty excited and it's i mean it's wow you know i was actually surprised at
all the positive things that they had to say you were particularly proud of your
music prowess
i don't think they enjoyed my music as much as i did uh when i saw justine's i was like i
should have done that and i should have done that i think whatever you have make
the best out of it it honestly doesn't matter if you have a pc or a mac because
i could also be editing a premiere on my mac if i had my premier macros
i still would have lost really oh yeah a poor carpenter blames his tools it
wasn't about the tool really it was about what we did
justine just made better editing decisions than i did is it a little satisfying to win after
taryn said he thought you'd be in it pushover it's pretty satisfying
but i'm going to share my lollipop with him
here darren this is for you i think you did a very good job
and if you still want a job just hit me up on twitter
thanks for the cookie pop this was fun like i love editing so much
and i think a lot of people don't ever realize that until this year like i've
edited almost all my videos justine actually has her own video editing
course that you can buy for final cut x i think at the end of the day whoever
won or lost the main takeaway is that nobody should hate on someone else for
using one tool or the other both premiere and final cut pro today proved
themselves to be fast capable and professional grade tools
