All right, let's just get set up here.
Looks like we're streaming.
I'm going to actually switch to this mic.
All right, there we go.
So today, I'm going to let people in as soon as you guys show up, you're welcome to hit
that link.
I'll drop it in the comments below here, zoom 90, here, join zoom.
So that is in the comments.
If you're just seeing this on Facebook, you can jump on.
We don't actually have anyone on the schedule today.
So anyone who wants to jump on, happy to help with content strategy or with tech items you
guys have.
And if no one shows up, I'm going to just go ahead and show you what I'm about to, one
of the cool apps that I'm using, I'm going to be creating a Tech Tuesday video on later
today.
So I may just jump into that.
I see, let me let Lindsay in real quick.
All right.
So since no one's here, I may go ahead and just show some something real quick.
And then we can always jump on and answer some questions.
So this will be good because I'm about to record this for a Tech Tuesday, so you guys
will get it early.
So there's a really cool tool called Descript.com.
It's a fantastic tool that we have, I've been starting to test with, and it's a really interesting
take on video editing.
Essentially what they do is you put your video in, and then you can, it transcribes every
word in your video.
So hey, Susie, how's it going?
I'm just kind of just sharing this because I wanted to share something helpful.
And this is like a, what it is, it transcribes all the video that you put into it.
And then you can literally, the same way you would edit a Word doc, you can just click
on it, you can delete words, you can move stuff around, and it just moves everything
around for you.
So it's kind of cool.
And when you're done, you can export that as like a finished edited video.
So I actually have it pulled up here.
I was editing a video earlier today.
Let me share that.
So it's a free app.
I think you have like three hours of like video you can use it for.
And then I think it jumps to like 12 bucks a month or something.
But you can use it for three hours of stuff and see if it's useful to you.
Because if you kind of want something a little bit more like editing a Word doc, this would
be the way to go.
So this guy is kind of what it looks like.
And I just went in here and created a test.
So what's interesting, I'll let that load.
So it'll have my video here on the right.
If I go to the very top here and hit play, let's see, we're just in the timeline here.
So I can take certain things out now, like if you have the word um or ah, there's even
a button that you can press that will remove all filler words, which is really cool.
So it'll just go through and it'll find any of the ums, the ahs, the pauses or repeating
a word.
So I can say like right here, let's just try this one.
You guys will kind of see how it works.
So let's say I want to take that and I've already downloaded it.
I can take this out and just literally hit the backspace key and it's gone.
And now when you hit play, isn't that cool?
It's kind of mind blowing.
And so and then you can see down here, there's the usual timeline like you would see in Premiere,
except now it's got like words next to it.
So like and now totally separate app, blah, blah, blah, then the regular Instagram app.
And so it's kind of cool, again, it's still going to cut, like it's going to cut from
you being here to like jumping a little bit, just like you would cut the video.
But for quick fixes, it's actually pretty cool, like how it it will update, I mean,
how it'll let you basically edit an entire video.
And then when you're done, you can hit export and you can export it like right to YouTube
if you want, or you can just export a video file and then and then, you know, upload that
video.
You can even export it for Final Cut or Premiere.
And I think there's even one for DaVinci as well.
So you can and it'll actually have all the cuts in there for you in Premiere when you
bring it into Premiere.
So super, super cool.
Again, I just started playing with this.
yesterday and I was like, I have to make a video and show you guys, this is kind of cool.
And now that's just the one thing is you can edit it like this.
The second thing, which is absolutely mind blowing, is that if you miss, say a word,
like this has happened with Lindsay with posture, we're like, say, hey, it's whatever you give
a scripture reference, and it's potentially like the wrong scripture reference.
You can then go back and not only can you delete it, but you can use a thing called
overdub.
And you can actually just change that word to like, instead of, you know, john 316, it
could be Matthew 316.
And it will use your words to like artificially create the word Matthew, even though you said
john, it'll create the word Matthew, like out of it.
And then it'll fix it.
And it's basically it just covers it up pretty smoothly.
And the tests I've seen, it's pretty impressive.
Like I thought it would be very robotic and stuff.
But it actually uses the tone of your voice, and different words that it kind of builds
a file on your particular voice pattern.
And then you can actually put now you can't put like an entire video on there, it'll probably
sound very robotic.
But you could go back and change a word or if you said, you know, a scripture reference
wrong, especially numbers and things like that.
Very easy to change right here.
So anyway, I'm if you have any questions on that, I'm happy to answer them.
If you guys are watching the replay, you can drop a comment below and I'm happy to
answer that I am going to be doing a tech Tuesday on this later today and trying that
out.
So cool.
That was just for free.
That's that's amazing.
You know, that's a little bit scary with all the things that they you know, they're showing
of causing somebody to appear to be saying something else.
We can't trust video or anything.
I'm I tried to do subtitles with my with YouTube.
And I found out I can't like you obviously saying you can't edit them.
But you know, like where I'm putting up the scripture, I didn't really want to have a
subtitle of me saying the scripture when it's up on the screen behind me.
Yeah, I kind of wanted to remove that.
Will this do that of?
Um, yeah, so the captions can be added, like, are you adding them on YouTube?
Yeah.
Okay.
So you can actually just delete them.
They do have something that when there's text on screen, it will technically it should try
to take them away.
Yeah.
Or else you end up with like, the scripture and then on top of that, like it's putting
text on top of that.
I can show you how to you can actually delete that on the YouTube side.
This could be used.
I think you can actually let me check if I'm being correct here and saying that you can
add I think you can actually add like the scripture text on using this tool if you wanted
to.
Yes, I'm just just seeing if I can do that instead of in DaVinci.
Yeah.
You can do something like, let me share the screen again.
Were you you were adding the scripture in DaVinci?
Yeah, the scripture is I moved to the side.
So I've got my wall behind me, and I agree the scripture on the wall behind me or beside
me.
But I didn't want to have the the caption.
Also saying what was up on the wall.
Yeah.
And I gotcha.
Yeah.
This will let you put the text there.
If you wanted to do this in here.
I think if you're using in DaVinci, probably a good way to do that.
This is more just to kind of get the content right.
And I think I think you can actually like move a paragraph from like here, like to a
different spot, maybe potentially, so you can kind of rearrange this for to get the
content where you want it.
I would then send it to DaVinci, put your your text in, like I said, the deck technically
can put the title in here.
You can actually like add like something here called a title.
And then you can put in like, you know, John 316.
And you could make it smaller and, you know, kind of place it where you wanted it on the
screen.
But I think if you're doing it in DaVinci, to me, that's probably going to be easier
in the long run.
This this tent, these tend to be helpful, because they're trying to make it really easy,
and it ends up being a little bit more work to get it to do exactly what you want.
But either way, to do what you're actually saying, which was to delete the captions is
we would have to go to here.
Let me go to a piece of content.
And let's take like yesterday's.
And so you can go to subtitles.
and they'll have these automatic subtitles.
And so I can add them, let me just say published.
Can I edit this?
Yes.
So let's say like, if I play through this.
I'm going to be soaking up the rest of this year.
I don't think we actually have a scripture
with any kind of text on screen,
but let's say here's like in Hebrews.
In Hebrews chapter 12, verses one and two,
it says, therefore, since we are surrounded
Okay, so there's the text there.
So what you can actually do is just delete that whole text
or you can actually, you know, shorten it.
And I'll just go ahead and I think you can delete
the whole thing altogether.
So what it'll do, if I kind of move that aside and hit play,
see the captions, they'll go away for a bit.
Okay, so I tried deleting.
I tried highlighting and deleting the words
that I didn't want.
On the left side?
Now down, yeah, down on exactly what you're looking at.
Okay, on the bottom, okay.
Yeah.
And then you published it there.
No, I wasn't able to delete them.
I wasn't able to do what you just did.
Yeah, and I'm trying to see if there's a,
like, can you actually delete them or is it just...
Did you just shrink them down?
Like, I would love to be able to, like, edit that, actually.
Let's see here.
This text on the left is actually not helpful at all,
I don't think.
Because it basically has taken all the punctuation away
and it's just all the words that she's saying.
I haven't played, this has actually changed quite a bit,
but I think how you would do it,
I would just make it super small.
Because the odds are, like, you may have it say, like,
so now I'm going to read, like, John 3.16
and then it starts, like, so God,
yeah, for God to love the world.
So you may need to keep the first part of that
and then cut it.
So what you may end up doing is something
where it, like, goes to, like, there
and then it clears while it's on screen.
Okay, so what you just grabbed hold of on the right hand,
that, I don't have, like, little divisions in my text.
If you want to pull it up on your screen,
I can take a look at it.
Just a second, I thought I had it right here.
I do have it right here.
I had it prepared and I'm not, I'm sorry.
Yeah, you can pull it up.
I'll show you another tool here.
I'm wondering if you can actually just use the tool here
without having to pay them.
I don't know, manage order.
Okay, I'm almost got this.
Okay, it, I thought there was a-
I've got a media offline.
Oh, you know, I think I did something
and deleted it accidentally.
Rats, says media offline.
Okay, so you can, I think if you click add here,
you can say auto sync.
Oh no, you don't want to do that.
So yeah, I did this at one place where I took my script
and copied it and pasted it into the YouTube
because I followed my script exactly.
So I use that for the subtitles.
Oh, so you actually uploaded the subtitles.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah, then that should work too.
So what you can do is, I think there's like an auto.
So if you go back here, add, upload files.
This is what you did like with timing, without timing.
Without timing.
Okay, so-
That they will do it.
Well, yeah, kind, yeah, it will sync it for you,
which is very helpful.
And then you'll get something that looks kind of like this.
And so.
Oh, it used to be like a really cool editor.
Honestly, I'm kind of disappointed
that they've changed it.
It used to be a very powerful tool that was just something
free that YouTube did.
And now they've kind of simplified it.
I'm not sure why.
I'm trying to make sure there's not another spot here
where you could go and do that.
Yeah, it's going to be like that.
So I will take, wait, where's all the, there we go.
So basically, what I would do is just turn it off like that
where you can grab.
And you kind of hover over, just see right there on the,
I'll zoom in, but like right there on the edge there
and grab it.
If you kind of grab it in the middle,
you can move it back and forth.
But just shortening it all the way to where it's small
and just having it.
Basically, all you're asking YouTube to do
is, hey, just clear the titles.
I don't want to see titles for this section of text.
That's all you're really asking.
And now, are those little divisions
between the gray spaces, are those the different phrases?
How do you get?
Yeah, so it should, it should time it.
So that's just saying that this one says, cloud of witnesses,
let us know.
So it's like cloud of witnesses all the way to easily entangles.
And this one says, and let us run.
So it's going to change once it gets to easily entangles.
That's so easily entangles.
And let us run with.
So there's like, and let us run.
So it's just showing the kind of the slides.
Think of it like a slide of all the text that's going to come up.
Why they can't capitalize Jesus, I don't know.
So I feel like that should be an automatic fix.
Because so these are just auto transcribed.
So they just take the words, and they
try to guess at what words you're wanting.
Since you're doing a script, and so Lindsay's doing a script,
we could also just upload them.
What I've also done in the past is we'll use Rev.com.
And they have a tool where it's a little bit like they'll
basically do it for you.
It does cost like $1 or so a minute.
And that will have, they'll actually
have someone go through and time it perfectly.
And then they'll upload it back to YouTube for you.
So that's a service if you don't want to mess with that.
And they're pretty smart that if there's text on screen,
they will hide anything so that it's not covering.
But it's actually quite an easy fix to just do it yourself
here.
So you can edit the text.
Because that's when they say the wrong word,
or you want, I see Hebrews 12.
You want that capitalized, or Jesus capitalized.
So when you do that, then it changes, obviously.
It should change it.
So let's go back.
Where did it say Jesus here?
Hebrews.
In Hebrews chapter 12.
Oh, there we go.
That's actually perfect.
This is actually, that's all we needed.
What did you click to get there?
Edit.
Sorry, edit as text.
And you say edit timings.
Oh.
So now, I think if I change, there you go.
So that actually capitalized it.
OK.
And so maybe we say instead of 1 and 2,
I could say 1 to 2, potentially.
And then the returns are also like the lines.
If we go back to where she's reading,
the Hebrew chapter says, then so what we can do is right here,
just literally hit Delete.
And then take that off.
And let us run that out for a piece of news,
and pray for her faith.
And sat down at the right hand of the King of God.
So you see what I did?
I just took the actual scripture out of that.
And so now, if we play it back, you
These are all blank now.
Right.
Great.
And well, that's another thing is
that I like to read things in phrases.
And a lot of times, the captions aren't phrases.
Oh, it's totally random.
And so that's a good, powerful thing for doing that, too.
Yeah.
And I would, yeah, so if you say, and again,
why can't they even capitalize basic?
So I'm going to soak up the rest this year with,
you could say like, my family, or whatever.
And this you can, so if that wants
to read a little bit more like a complete sentence.
And you can go for 20, you can put a space,
you can return after 2021.
Yes.
So 2021 period.
Return.
Yeah.
What I would actually do is kind of run this actually
going like that.
So it says, so in this final episode.
I can see it on the right, what's happening.
I'm period.
I'm going to be soak.
Oh, so in the final picture of 2020, so this is the final episode I can do.
Like, so this is the final episode of 2021.
I'm going to be soaking up the rest of this year with my family off screen, period.
And then this, I can come now and delete that and say, but, you know, comma.
I, so you can spend as much time on this as you want.
I wouldn't worry too much about like the fact that she may be saying the word, but
there, but then, but is saying right there, don't worry about that because if
someone's reading it, they're watching the movie like this.
So they're not even listening to her audio.
That's the main reason you would want captions.
So the fact that it's not perfectly like, um, lined up, you know, I wouldn't worry
too much about that, but yeah, I feel like they could, um, capitalize it.
So these are just, it's just coming in raw.
Like that's what YouTube is doing here.
I think if you were importing your script, hopefully these capitalization issues would
be a little bit better addressed, um, at this point, but I, we don't use this tool.
Like I said, we just have them, uh, we just pay rev.com to do it because you can see
how time consuming this could get, and you could start placing them just right.
And having the phrases just right.
So I wouldn't go too much time on it, but it definitely helps to have the captions.
Um, so if you're going to take a little bit of time, just a quick cleanup, give
yourself five, 10 minutes, call it done.
Um, it definitely will help, um, down the road.
That's great.
Yeah.
And you can download, um, that.
So if I go to the right here, you can hit download and then I can download
like different formats of this.
Um, and that you could potentially upload as a blog post.
I've seen people even, you know, you could basically, it would be like your
whole episode, but in written form, not as big a deal if you're doing like what
you're doing, you're, you're writing it out ahead of time.
So you already have it transcribed, um, in kind of a nice written form.
Um, but anyway, if you didn't have it for whatever reason, that's
another place you could grab it.
Wow.
Cool.
Great.
Thank you.
Nice.
Um, and then of course you can go into different languages as well, which we
have not stepped into, but we may look into that in the future.
Um, I'm just very nervous about like teaching theology and then being in a
totally different language we don't understand because who knows what they
may be saying, right?
Like there's no way to check it.
Um, so anyway, uh, I see Michael's on as well.
I don't know if you had any questions.
Help you with.
And did you have anything else, Susie?
Sorry.
No, that's great.
Okay, cool.
No, no.
Just listening, learning.
See what I can learn.
Oh yeah.
Met your dad though.
He was awesome.
I had a great time.
Yeah.
You guys were at the that's right.
Yeah.
I had a great time guys.
Thanks for letting us know about the 4 a.m.
coaching call, Michael.
I was going to learn.
I was like,
that's the really hardcore actually dedicated.
No, that's fine.
Um, so that may have been why some people maybe thought we weren't meeting today
since it said there wasn't anything, but we'll fix that.
Um, we just have people from all over.
And I think the time zone, they try to, they're trying to calculate it ahead for
our time zone, but I think it reset to Facebook's very bad about that.
Like it tries to be helpful.
I think it reset the time zone to three o'clock wherever that person is.
Um,
and when I said, when I said the, the events, you know, I have to send them
and send, I have to set them in central because Brent started it and he lived in
central.
So if I don't, that's probably what it is.
Yeah.
Cool.
So, all right.
No, just listening.
Good.
Well, um, and Lindsey's on as well.
Susie, if you have any questions or if you guys want to get into like cool.
I'm behind on my messages, but I just checked it and I saw that you had written
some stuff, so I got to catch up on that.
Yeah, I kind of, thank you.
I, I am pretty clear that you've got lots and lots of messages and I sent you a long
one.
No, that's perfect.
I'll I, there, there's no way for me to like filter out, like if I get spam and
stuff, so I have to kind of search them and I don't check them every day, but,
um, but I just thought I had something from you.
So I tried to check it on coaching days, at least just so I can be in the now.
Yeah, well, I think we can probably end today early.
Um, we do plan on being back next week.
I know it's kind of a funky week in between Christmas and new year, but we just don't
want to skip a beat in case.
people were trying to, you know, keep things, you know, going consistently into the new year. I
know some people taking breaks just with the holidays and stuff, but we do plan to be back
not on Wednesday at 4am, but Tuesday at 3pm. Gotcha. Yep, that sounds good. Well, we'll,
if you guys, if we don't talk to you guys in the group, like have an awesome Christmas,
and we'll see you guys next Tuesday. Okay. Thank you, guys. No problem. We'll talk soon.
