Editing my Yaps in CapCut with Claude

And it was just, I actually was like nerding out on how she created her course and the buzz around it.

And I wanted to see what was inside it.

And I also wanted to grow.

And so I did, I actually, um, I not only did the YAPs, but I also learned how to do some of the editing.

There's a little bit of training in the YAP challenge, and that is by Jessie Jean, who made seven-ish million dollars in her launch.

And as I was doing that, I was going in and learning from a couple of different creators on Instagram.

on how to edit your reels, both in edits and in CapCut.

Jessie Jean talks about editing your yaps in CapCut and just talking about her preference for desktop editing.

And I very quickly was like, oh yeah, it's much easier.

Most of the problem for me of editing in my phone is just like the tiny cursors and making sure my finger is like right on the right spot.

But with the mouse and the desktop, it's so much easier.

And so over August, July and August, I started to really learn.

I probably hand edited 10 yaps maybe, And sorry, there's no mute on this live.

I'm just, I'm just, I'm living out loud.

And each of them took me, I would say like an hour and a half, maybe more.

Because part of what you can do when you do YAPs is scripts.

But I think pretty quickly people don't like scripts.

I mean, maybe a lot of people will overlook it, but I think scripts are really not a way that I feel connected to people.

And I am, I don't have the time to sit and think about how I'm going to act out my scripts.

I also do not find like for me and my performance, like memorizing the scripts was i just did some it didn't work so what i would do is i would record my talking head they would be like five minutes long i would trans i would get them transcribed and i would have chat gbt edit them and create an arc so that I knew where all the edits were and it gave me a hook and we could go from there.

And so that was a great start.

I'd even ask because of the style that I wanted was to have some gifts in it, to have maybe something like kind of funny or reference a show.

And those were, I would ask it to make some suggestions.

It normally just suggested friends.

friends gifts and they're not bad but you know i uh that wasn't that useful and then um i saw meg kilgore's video that was like hey you can have god do this and i i should also say i played around with captions which is an app that does a lot of AI editing for you.
