Currently I am using OBS its perfect for what I do (coding, websites, screen tutorials etc) but it lacks the toys of other recorders and I wonder if there is anything better I prefer windows but do have a Mac I can use, obviously there is screenstudio I am not much of a video editor either so something that takes good shots without to much editing to fix zoom issues etc would be great I am currently trialing canvd Thanks in advance

Hey guys so I have this channel on YouTube but I want to switch over to making commentary videos and I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good camera to use that works well with a USB Microphone. I plan on using a green screen for a background eventually but for right now I want to learn how to edit with a good camera because normally I just record my voice and put that over gameplay so If somebody could recommend me something I would really appreciate it.

Channels like Alternative Cuts, atomic marvel, or anyone that has made fan edit videos like "alternate series finale ending" where they change some shit up like the audio or dialogue from a movie/TV show, do they make money from YouTube ads? Or are they just doing it for fun?

My child is under 13. I have found all over where children under 13 can open an account with parents permission.

When I go to youtube and click on their profile on the top right, there is no "create channel" option. Is this because they are under 13? If so, how do I "allow" it? We have family link setup as well and they are a supervised member if that helps.

TIA!

So i make gaming videos, but today i captured a fighter jet on my iPhone and the footage was incredible. I’ve got 2k subs. Would posting this short be harmful or beneficial to my channel? I don’t plan on making more videos about planes in the future, and i never have in the first place.

Microphone for Osmo Action 4

Evening.

I have the osmo action 4 already and am looking into microphones.

The main need for a microphone is for separate voice over recordings but if I can get one that works with the osmo too for better audio direct on some videos then that would be great rather than having to get two types.

I can’t justify paying the £300 ish cost for the mic 2.

Is there anything that gives acceptable quality sub-£100?

I know that with anything that quality comes at a price but it’s just trying to work out where things sit on the scale.

I uploaded another video yesterday and it got literally 0 views in 24 hours. There are no restriction or anything on it and its the same kind of content. It is disheartening. I thought I had a good start. Any advice?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to create a coding fundamentals course (5-6 hours total, split into ~25 sections) and I'm hitting some walls. Even recording the first 10-minute intro section has been challenging.

My journey so far:

• Spent days fixing audio (echo issues, bought new mic, rearranged room)
• Dealt with mouth clicking sounds (tried everything from green apples to finally finding RX Elements 11 which solved the issue)
• Sorted out screen/webcam recording setup and lighting
• Adjusted my screen to 16:9 aspect ratio because apparently my macbook had 16:10 which made my recordings to have those weird black corners
• Created slides and script

Current challenge: I'm struggling with recording because:

1. English isn't my first language
2. Making mistakes means I need to cut the recording
3. These cuts are obvious in my webcam footage
4. Having trouble maintaining eye contact and natural delivery

I'm considering recording in 2-3 minute chunks per slide and using transitions between them. Is this the best approach? Or are there better solutions? Removing webcam is a dealbreaker for me. I want to build a personal connection with viewers, as a way of standing out from competition.

Really feeling discouraged that a 10-minute intro has taken a week to figure out and I still feel like I'm at square 1 with actually making content... Any advice from experienced course creators would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all!

I'm new to youtube (only 14 videos so far), but noticed that every video of mine is not getting recommended by YT - the average is around ~500 impressions.

I tested creating a new channel and uploaded my new video there, and on its first week got ~2500 impressions already (most from "Browse features").

--

Now i'm wondering if it's better to completely shift over to this new YT channel given those stats. But wanted to seek advice if it's a good idea! What else should I consider? For context: my current channel only has 350 subs, and new channel now has 15 subs

Thank you so much for any advice!

Thought about doing this cuz editing is my biggest barrier and maybe livestreams would make it easier to commit to doing recordings all the time (that maybe I can still edit later?)

Is it bad for algo or looks weird or whatever if I do it a few times a week?

Any other things to keep in mind? I'm just starting off (got 8 subs after a couple of shorts, but that was a couple months ago)

I love my old logo, but it was too much for the avatar of the channels, I created months ago a simplified version that was much clear as an avatar on my chanel and social media, but after some months I felt it lack some personality. I decided to keep the new simple logo but give each character the same style of each word of the original one. I think this will allow me to use this new version as avatar, and also use the old logo as main logo for headers and things that will be seen with a bigger size.
The original logo has the words, as you might imagine, all those letter were not visible as a small avatar
KAME
MAME
HA
the simple version was a clean KMH that work very well for avatars
the new version has the same KMH but with the exact same style as the original, that will allow to use both the new and the original logo depending on each situation.

I did a post on my chanel with the three logos together , if anyone is interested in the image, more than happy to DM it or link it.

I notice that most big channels on YouTube add chapters to their videos, while some do not. Do you prefer watching videos with chapters, or does it not matter to you?

every month and then i always tend to delete my channel how can i fix this?

Hey there! I would love if you shared some self improvement channels that you watch or that you own. Thanks!

I started with short form on my yt channel. I have been thinking about switching to long form. Do you think its better to put the long form in my new yt channel? Or just post in the old ones and hope the algorithm changes to target more long form viewers?

You think the algorithm can change like that? Or how long approximately if I post long form twice a week.

Thanks

Obviously, neither are perfect but I have more gripes with Twitch than I do YouTube at the moment.

You can use a lot more keywords for your YouTube stream and the algorithm seems to push smaller streamers sometimes. Compare that to Twitch force recommending the same 4 to 5 big pro streamers it's nice to find smaller channels on my homepage.

I also don't have adult content being recommended to me (currently) and you can set your broadcast for a certain time with OBS. That gives you time to prepare the stream and lets your subscribers know that you're planning to go live within a certain time frame.

I've noticed generally that YouTube streamers seem to have a lot less drama which is also nice. They don't seem to have a habit of yelling or cursing at the game they're playing. Probably depends on who you're watching of course.

Unlike Twitch, you don't really need to worry about numbers for monetization. The important thing is to have fun and I feel like not needing to worry about numbers has led me to enjoying games more. Still far from monetization, but not concerned about that at the moment. If it happens, I will be pleasantly surprised.

My biggest complaint with YT are false copyrights. Got struck by a big gaming company and no reason was listed in either the YT studio or the email YT sent me. Even reached out to the gaming company itself and they never provided information, even after retracting the strike.

Needless to say, don't overlook multi-streaming if that's your thing, but I will 100% take YouTube over Twitch for a gaming channel.

So I have been having a bit of a challenge with BGM selection (finding the appropriate one for a particular vibe or moment)and management selecting the appropriate sound at different points in the video. Does anyone have any tips on how they transition between BGM and manage audio levels in a video and where can you find it and sound effects. Thanks!

Channels like Explore with us, their videos are around 1 hr long.

Is the RPM around $15? Heard people saying true crime video's RPM is on the lower side.

If I remember correctly, they do say the words murder or killed in some of their videos and still doing okay.

Anyone running True crime channels know how much RPM?

Like title says, I don't normally get a lot of impressions but some reason I have almost 9k on my most recent video. I only have 0.3% CTR though lol so I'm wondering where YouTube is suggesting the video. It is 99% suggested videos. Is this going to destroy my channel or is YouTube finally trying to find my audience?

My views dropped from 6000-300 to 30-5 views after I didnt upload the last 6 months.

Im pretty sure my editing got better, the video content itself is the same topic, its niche (tho no small), but it received great feedback and still its getting worse than better.

Is there a chance creators get punishment for not uploading frequently?

It seems like my videos not even gwt the chance to be seen by my subscribers nor any new viewers.

I hear all this talk about a using specific niche. I thought my channel was too broad.

I would still be posting the same content. So, I created 3 channels. I see it as the same amount of work. Is this a mistake?

Im working on my first video for a YouTube channel covering mostly ancient history. Im having trouble verifying things that I wanted to cover initially.

As an example, my first video I wanted to make about the history of beekeeping, as my family does beekeeping. In my initial notes on the idea I wrote some interesting things I found on a surface level look at the topic, including that honey was apparently found in king Tut’s tomb. It was actually what inspired the video idea to begin with.

Most of the things I wrote down had sources I was able to read and expand upon in my script. However, when I went to find further information on that particular claim, article after article just parrots this idea, yet none provide any sources, some even claim even older honey was found in Georgia beating the record set by the king Tut honey, with yet more lack of sources. Wikipedia has nothing at all to say on the subject. As far as I can tell its a completely made up claim.

Im in college, but since im a business major, the only real ‘research’ I’ve done is going to government websites or new articles. I want my videos to be as accurate as possible even if this is more of a passion project than my area of study, but I just don’t know exactly how to track these things down efficiently.

So my question is twofold:

1.) How would you go about verifying or disproving the idea that honey was found in King Tut’s tomb?

2.) How would you go about finding information on what the actual oldest honey ever discovered is?

(Not asking you to do it for me obviously, just looking to figure out the process to research things like this)

Any other advice about researching things like this would be great!

Hey everyone!

This is definitely a weird question, but I’d appreciate some help!

I once saw an African-American YouTuber who made funny videos like these, maybe with a name like 'Rany' or something like that.

What made him stand out was that he had this funny way of looking back, like he would suddenly turn his head and give this funny look.

I saw him a while ago, maybe about two years ago, and suddenly remembered his amazing and funny channel.

Does anyone happen to know him?

Anyone have suggestions for a good usb mic for on the go? When I’m at work I’m usually in a truck driving, loading or unloading and want to start a channel podcasting on the go. A mic that sounds natural and can also keep out much of the background noise of the other trucks that may be idling in the loading and unloading bays would be ideal. Any suggestions?

Currently looking to get the rode xcm-50 or maybe the nt- usb+. What’s everyone’s thoughts on these?

I want to target the western viewers. How do I do so? Is VPN reliable?

If I upload the video from my location, most of them aren't even going to be have big watch time because they're in English.

What do I do here?

I already have a YouTube channel where the about shows the location US because I was in the US.

I have a video that’s doing very well, and now I’m wondering if I should post the new one this week or wait until the current one slows down in views and subs?

Thanks

Hey all

I do a gaming niche which I feel is kind of a good one. What other type of niche do you all follow? Just wanted to hear some unique niche (:

Hello so recently Ive been wanting to make videos and posting on my channel, I posted awhile ago (around 5 videos) 4 years ago and they were getting low views back then (around 100-300 each video) But i stopped till now, where now ive been posting videos for 8 days in a row and all of them have got 0 views but one video (which was the first video) is this a glitch or am i shadow banned…. Or what, so demotivating. Im not saying my content deserves thousands and thousands of views but just 20 views would even make me feel good… getting 0 idk what to do

Edit: id be fine with 20 view cause then i know its my content and not youtube…

Ohayo people,

I'm PippoDoesThings a self-growth and half vlogger youtuber, I made last week a discord server with small youtubers made to discuss strategies, thumbnails, get reviews of our work and so on.

In all honesty is a little too quiet these days which is why I'm recruiting people who are serious about making videos and want to connect in order to grow together.

I'm still cringey, the others are still cringey. Don't worry about your content, we're here to learn

If you some more enstablished youtuber want to join I'd be super happy to have someone who already know the next steps.

"HIT ME UP ON THE DMs FOR THE LINK. I got a semi ban after I sent 20 invites"

Thanks and I hope to get to know you,

Filippo
