From Twitch to YouTube: this is how Mateo Gimmelli edits Ibai Llanos' videos

Mateo Gimmelli (unosMemiyos), editor for streamers of recognized international prestige such as Ibai Llanos, shows how he artistically and technically creates his videos, whose views are counted in the millions.

The main challenge when converting a rough 3 or 4 hours in a digestible video for the audience that has the river in YouTube is to get summarize the most the video always maintaining the structure: beginning, middle, end. That at no time does it become heavy, but neither that it be so dynamic that it ends dizzy or be very overwhelming for the viewer.

Also one of the keys to editing for YouTube is that you have to always be thinking about the display time (the time the user is watching your video until they remove it). If you are constantly thinking about whether you are “hooking” the viewer so that it doesn't leave, this will mean that you will make better videos for YouTube and the The platform's algorithm will show your videos to more people.

To achieve this engagement, the post production effects. However, the main thing is to achieve that cohesive story structure which I was talking about before. Once you have focused all your efforts on achieving it, the effects are very useful to decorate some most boring moment y so increase the viewing time.

Technical keys to installing Twitch to YouTube

When I want to download a live stream Twitch I download the VOD through an external program called Twitch Leecher. In this way, Ibai He doesn't worry about anything. It is a very good program that, in addition, allows direct downloads in progress, and also sections of a live: If I'm interested in only half an hour of a three-hour live show, I can download just that part: this way I save a lot of time.

With the program I use, I download the videos in a .mp4 1080@60. In Premiere, I use a sequence of 1080@60 and the exported one is another .mp4 with the characteristics of the sequence. I also usually help myself with Handbrake to solve problems from time to time with the brutes (fps variables, formats that Adobe does not read, rescale…).

There are many creators who provide you the brutes to the editors (to have different audio tracks, several cameras, etc.), but we work like this so that Ibai focuses only on make direct and that we can work faster, which is key on YouTube.
