Have You Heard About ThumbzStudio , its a Free Tool for amazing Thumbnail Designs

[@forscentssake]

What an AMAZING content 👏 and the video is sharp, clear, straight to the point and ABSOLUTELY useful 👍. I bet you'll get thousands or millions of views and viewers. I'm keeping it for a straightforward guide. Hope you don't mind!

[@Trecktopp]

Is the cheat sheet for money as it says “we value your privacy unsubscribe at any time”

[@jaymayor]

@@Trecktopp Nope, it’s free! I’m using ConvertKit for mailing lists and that’s the default anti-spam privacy notice. Enjoy.

[@farmfinds]

Most creators in this category either just barely deliver what they advertise in the thumbnail and title, or flat out under-deliver! However, you just over-the-top over-delivered! You are not just giving a rehash of what others are doing and saying, but actually providing new content and super-valuable information! Thank you!

[@QueenQaraAnna]

Excellent!!!!!!!!!! I have saved this and subscribed. Thanks

[@guyinoah]

hey man, for an account under 2k subs. i gotta say this is one of the best tip videos for beginners looking to get into creating content but not knowing where to look for things to be able to create with. i knew most of the sites from creating content for years myself (not here on youtube until recently and also not on this account) but honestly jam packed full of information and great sites to use.

[@SirSair]

Hello Jay, One of the best video i ever watched for young creators. Bravo, you did an amazing job. Keep up the good work

[@myrelaxmusic9605]

Its proof that great quality content brings great results even in 2022 starting a YT from scratch. Congrats!

[@bananapatch9118]

I’m 60 and very tech challenged, but will soon be traveling for years from Mexico to Argentina and then a few years bouncing around SE Asia. I would love to start a KZbin channel but starting to play with shotcut video editing….seems challenging for me. Hoping this list will help me. I am really starting with no idea what I am doing. Thx for this list !

[@jakubfilipek5702]

When I clicked the video, it surprised me, how high quality you are doing it. When I looked at the subs count, i thought it was saying 1,7 mil , not 1,7 thousand. I think your production value is at top level, I would value you at about 800 thousand subs!

[@dljworks]

7:24 I can’t speak for Android, but for the iPhone, you do not need a third party app to capture screen footage. There’s one built into its control center where you can screen record and capture the audio if you’re doing a tutorial via phone.

[@filipinamorena]

Wow this is absolutely 1 of the best videos I have ever came across while searching for tutorials that can help me grow my small channel. Thank you so much for your effort of doing this video.

[@MADHOUSE_Soaps]

I can’t believe you don’t have millions of subscribers!!! You will get there! Wonderful content!!! Thank you!

[@adamfroman7983]

This is one of the most useful videos out there for the subject..Your work is going to pay you big!

[@dokertimusic7934]

This has to be one of the most useful & informative KZbin videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you, sincerely, for being very good at what you.

[@garveyseaton]

Like the other comments have said very surprised this is a new channel. I run a business but I’ve just started a channel to reach a larger audience and this has inspired me to up my game!

[@daphotographysa]

Thank you SO much for this video!!! Really useful! Looking forward to your channel!! 🙏🏻

[@fuimastv]

It's almost unbelievable that this channel is so new! Your video is seamless, super useful, excellently done. You are an excellent video editor and success is just a matter of time. You COMPLETELY nailed it with this video. Congratulations 👏🏻

[@mmeleacherteacher4787]

FANTASTIC! I made a song video on Canva for my class to perform at our Christmas assembly and now I just want to make more videos! It was so much fun! Thanks for all these GREAT resources!

[@MarlissaMonayVisuals]

This was put together so well! Thank you 📺 wishing you much success with this channel

[@nochannel7100]

Dude you blew up, one video and instant good views all because this is clearly a very good video. Amazing work.

[@shepirate]

Honestly, this was the most informative, helpful creation video I've seen in a long time! Thank you so very much! I will share as well as subscribe!

[@DifferenceInThought]

Subscribed! A great video considering it's your first on this channel. Hope you succeed!

[@melaniefrancis48]

What a fantastic resource, thank you for sharing your research

[@proverb_31_wife]

This was an incredibly helpful video. Thank you for your time and effort to make this. May God bless you and your family heart❤

[@jaymayor]

You are so welcome! Happy to help

[@paranormalspecialist]

This is the MOST helpful video I have watched so far for YT video creation. I use pexel and pixabay but the music issue was a problem. THANK YOU for offering solutions😍

[@boxianracer]

Congratulations and thanks. This is probably the single most useful video I've seen in my life. So much useful info. Unbelievable you're a small channel!

[@rightbrainrakhi]

These are amazing resources Jay. Thank you very much. Subscribed. 😊❤️👍

[@DaikonDad]

Thank you for the video! I always love these educational types of videos especially when they come with "highly affordable" options for newer creators!

[@SethGreensteinSgCoder]

Great video Jay! Thanks so much this is fantastic info for a new You Tuber like myself. Also I appreciate you posting all the equipment you are using in the description. Your video and audio quality is excellent.

[@ZenWithDebby]

This is really helpful! Thank you so much for creating this video and for sharing these free tools with us. 🙏🏼 Canva is my go-to editing platform. I use it for ALL my visuals, from business to social media to “just for fun”. And with that being said, I’ve subscribed to your channel. 😊

[@AdamPhillipsProfessional]

This is super useful and really well made. Awesome job!

[@learngrow9010]

Great Video, very useful information, very well presented. ...thanks..

[@artriloquist954]

Such valuable tools packed into one video! Thank you for sharing this !

[@sk.sourov]

1. I think adding GIMP as an honorable mention in the Image Editing, Kdenlive in the Video Editing section would have been nice. 2. I must say that this was the most helpful video I've seen in a long time. I'm thinking about making KZbin videos but I didn't know where to get the free resources.

[@jaymayor]

Great suggestions! I added links to the description. And thank you for your kind words, glad this video helped.

[@TheSicilianLife]

Thank you for sharing this ~ I took notes and learned a lot. 😊 I'm a new channel trying to grow, so these tools will come in handy. I subscribed to your channel because of the massive value you give. I appreciate it.

[@creativeartlk]

Very useful content....

[@erdejo01]

Awesome video! Looks like you've been doing this for years! Great quality...

[@RaskGuitars]

Thank you! Great info and resources.

[@RonnieGreher]

Awesome video! Thanks for this sir! I have been trying to solve this for a bit without success, until now.

[@therestedsoul]

Thanks Jay for this much needed video 💕 1 question though - how do we add animations like the ones who have for honorable mentions? Thanks

[@jaymayor]

You're welcome! This depends on the editing software you're using. I'm using FCPX with a simple callouts template from Envato Elements to do the text animations. So you can either search for templates for your editor, or you can make the animations yourself. There's a good tutorial on this by EJ Tech called "How To Make Animated Lower Thirds For Free! With Shotcut Video Editor Tutorial" if you're using Shotcut. Hope this helps!

[@netizenfromindia]

Your channel will boom in future . Best of lucks to you brother. Love from INDIA

[@two4.six8]

Wow. Way to come out of the gate with your first video (for this channel, anyway). I'm a fan. Keep up the great resources.

[@SpiritAscending]

Thank you so very, very much!!! Blessings and much success to you!

[@Team_Pilipinas]

Hello bro how did you make those 1number animations in your video? I like it , is that a preset in premiere

[@jaymayor]

I’m using a combo of a few title templates for FCPX. I layered a title template over a callout template and created a reusable compound clip for numbers 1-10

[@momodded]

Thanks Jay, there resources are going to be really helpful

[@CuriouZteacher]

by the way, while im watching you in this video i realized you got a very crispy clear video of yourself. can you please share your camera (and settings), desk setup tour, and video editing techniques. thanks so much...

[@jaymayor]

Hey there! I'll have to make videos on the camera/settings, studio tour, and editing techniques in the near future. In the mean time, you can see a list of all the gear I'm using in the description. My camera is a ZV-E10 with the kit lens and I'm shooting 4k video (color temp 4700K) which gives that clear crisp image you described. I use 2 main lights each at 45-degrees at a matching color temp of 4700K (links to these are in the description). For audio I use a Rode VideoMic GO II shotgun mic boomed above my head pointing at my mouth just out of the shot (about 10 inches away), and this fantastic mic plugs directly into the ZV-E10. That covers the main things. Check out the description for a full list. Hope this helps!

[@JulesBasement]

Thank you a lot for your effort to put all these together 😮

[@geekyadore]

Great video. Do you only have one video? or did you unlist some?

[@ithinkaboutthings9052]

I wondered the same.

[@jaymayor]

Hey, and thanks! This is my first video, working on more

[@geekyadore]

@@jaymayor Wow, great!😀

[@DrTeddyMMM]

@@jaymayor Awesome, Keep them coming, your videos are clear, concise and filled with useable info! Thank you!

[@mohammedaazam1718]

Good efforts doing... thanks a lot.. brother..

[@schaduwrijk]

Great valuable content! Thx Jay!🙏

[@PaiviProject]

Hey, that was some great free tools. I'll go and check few of those. Thanks 👍

[@flyaeroman]

Thanks for this great video. I believe if you keep bringing content like this you will be very successful on KZbin. All the best. You got my sub!

[@RockyMtnChick]

Great first video, best of luck with the channel. Sub’d as I’m curious to see what comes next. Really helpful info, thank you 🙏🏻

[@PsychologistAnand]

Super video. You are a born artist, i can surely say. Kudos. You will reach 1m subscribers in one year for sure. ,👍👏

[@janetsario]

I love this video, as a new account it could help me a lot, thanks for sharing.

[@juliocaliman]

Great video! Great editing!

[@theburlypanda]

Shotcut is a good open-source option, but Davinci Resolve is fantastic, free, and insanely powerful.

[@jaymayor]

Great suggestion! I added a link to the description

[@Stockholm_Syndrome]

@@jaymayor -And OpenShot is another one. I use Davinci myself, however it's big and you need a really good computer to use Davinci.

[@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner]

Great video and great recommendations, saved the vid will definitely be going back to it

[@jessmarsha5983]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ....FOR YOUR TIME AND RESEARCH ☺

[@ontheroadwithwaqas]

Thank you for posting it. Will definitely try some of tools in future !

[@laligadera]

I love those trancition in every topic, is that in davinci resolve?

[@jaymayor]

I'm using FCPX

[@artisanart9154045407]

great to have such a informative video like this...your editing is amazing Sir..

[@remoteworkinternational]

OBS Studio can also be used on tablets as well.

[@wiliamphillips]

Jay, I watched this whole video and , I want to ask you, a question. I want to read e books on line and I need to leave a voice sample with them and how do I do It in the form of a mp3? I will assume I get a job so , what to is can I after , I start ,use a lap top and record my recording thon my lap top. But, what size or type of recording will it be? Mp3 or what. And, If I use a lap top for my studio then would my Head set with mike be ok to use or should I get something else?? Thanks Jay very much.

[@jaymayor]

Hey wiliam! If you’d like to record your voice for audiobook narration, your mic is by far the most important piece of equipment you’ll want to get right and a headset will likely not give you the sound quality you’ll want. You will probably want a cardioid condenser mic (like the Blue Yeti) with a pop filter to soften your p’s and k’s. This kind of mic is able to pick up the richness of the human voice, which is essential for an enjoyable audiobook experience. I’d record in at least 44.1kHz to ensure good enough quality. Search Google for the article “How to Record Your Own High-Quality Audiobook in 6 Steps” by reedsyblog and see Part 3. This article goes in depth on what you’ll need, more than I can here. Best of luck!

[@Flutistics]

Thanks Man This helped a ton!!!😀

[@HungryHouseCafe]

Super well done!! Thank you, thank you. Subscribed!! Looking forward to more videos!!

[@Reforge3d]

If you don't mind, what is your background? This video is too high quality to be your first. 200 subs in 2 weeks from a single video is incredible! (As I am someone who is putting together my first focused videos this month and hope to see this kind of growth)

[@jaymayor]

I have an engineering background, so not a lot of overlap with video production. I took a few courses on making videos through Skillshare and researched the heck out of what equipment I'd need (camera, mic, etc). I put links to all of the gear I use in the description in case that's useful to you. I've also been looking at other channels for ideas/inspiration, I feel like you can learn a lot just by seeing what's already working for people. Best of luck!

[@MrJersey]

Great video Jay

[@masimshahzadworld]

Hello Jay, I want to ask you 1 thing that how you create your 1 video and how you animate this, please make a video that how you make your first video step by step..❤

[@jaymayor]

I am using Final Cut Pro X, and I installed a bunch of templates I downloaded from Envato Elements. Great suggestion, I will look into creating a video on this. Cheers.

[@masimshahzadworld]

Thanks a lot Jay for reply

[@Good_Thoughts5254]

Thanks for your information, can I use all these applications in Raspberry Pie environment?

[@jaymayor]

Pi runs Linux and both Shotcut and OBS Studio are supposed to be Linux compatible, so they might work on a Pi! The other resources just need a browser. Let me know how it works out for you.

[@mikgol81]

super useful!! thank you

[@TOVANorseWitch]
