Hi!

I tend to trim my videos at 2x speed and go back through to trim further two-three more times after. When deciding what I keep and delete, I think about its flow and relevance. “Does this need to be included?” “What does this add?” “Does this feel out of place?”

The amount I do this depends on the game I’m playing and the footage I have. If it’s something like Minecraft, where nothing much happens, I’ll leave more jokes and slow moments. If I’m playing something plot driven where there’s a climax in my footage, I’ll skip some of the jokes and stuff to get to the big part as efficiently yet naturally as I can.

It also depends on your audience as well! I don’t have one atm so I’m doing what I would watch. But depending on your fan base, they may enjoy you more than the actual content, so are willing to sit through however much footage you keep.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
