[@RhettandClaire]

Great tips, Peter. You've been a huge inspiration to us on our KZbin journey. You've taught me (Rhett) so many things and I just want to say thank you for that. I have no doubt the algorithm gods will be with you once again!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thanks for tuning in! I'm honoured to have been a part of your skill tree =)

[@tdro123]

Thanks for the tips Peter. You’re one of the best KZbinrs when it comes to gear, editing and the creative process! Keep up the good work 🙌🏼

[@sezair0]

I like how authentic you are Peter. Strong man

[@dennismitchell79]

Peter congrats on 5 years as a KZbinr. You are an inspiration to all of us.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thank you!

[@dennismitchell79]

@@PeterLindgren1 you are in legendary status with Casey Neistat and Peter McKinnon in my book. Thank you again for the videos.

[@TimTangents]

I literally posted a video just before watching this and realised I posted 7 months ago last time. Due to perfectionism I ended up posting an April video only now because I lost the project file. That made me decide to just post the cut excl colour grading cause that's what made me procrastinate. Thank you for this video. I found it relatable and valuable. Let the LOGs start rolling out onto the web!

[@SeeMoreWithC]

Good advice. You provide food for thought for people who want to enter the content creator space. It is also easy to see why you are successful...you also possess the essential qualities of being entertaining, informative and charismatic.

[@craigdehut]

I really do appreciate your openness about your journey: the good AND the bad. I've spent the last five years pushing hard on my separate KZbin channel, but am considering committing more time to this main channel and your tips are invaluable!

[@PeterLindgren1]

You got this!

[@RustyBrownPhotography]

Dude - your growth is a direct reflection of the dedication you've always put in. The consistency; accuracy, technical acumen; and just plain caring shows in all your videos. I, for one, am super appreciative of you and your YT channels. Thanks mate!

[@PeterLindgren1]

And i am super appreciative of you watching them!

[@franciscobeato]

Crazy honest tips, thanks Pete!

[@LazyManJoe]

Love the Circa 2015 video - all serious body building poses and THEN the fun side as well 😀! Thanks for the pointers!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Haha i was always a bit of a goofball behind the scenes lol

[@ingmararndt2915]

I would love to see regular KZbin livestreams. It’s interesting to see the progress of the 3d modeling and it’s great that you can interact with the live chat

[@Daniel_Oberg]

Bra snack! Gav mig motivation att börja klippa min nästa video! Projektet failade men jag ska försöka få till en video av det ändå!

[@prestonurvina]

As a guy that was once fit and is now trying to get back into a routine. I feel your pain! Also, thanks for dropping more for newer creators. The advice has been great lately!

[@TheHopelessGeek]

I am implementing your advice on working with brands by negotiating instead of just accepting free barter products. It has helped me identify worthwhile collaborations that justify the effort while making money! Thank you 😊🙏🏽

[@PeterLindgren1]

Fantastic!

[@cwTheDrummist]

I appreciate your transparency and how you teach, Peter. This was great!

[@Hemant_Mj]

It's pain to watch... My hero ... People forgot slowly ❤❤❤

[@LesTestsdeCyril]

Thank you for this video! You are a great inspiration and make me want to go further and further on my KZbin journey. Thank you Peter 🙏

[@RacerrrOG]

I started watching You Peter almost 5 years ago and I learned a lot in FCPX with Your tutorials , You were like one of 5 people which inspired me to do it no matter what. You are talking about Your view from KZbin side and I have to be honest , I turned my videos into real art that takes me to do one movie about 4-12 months with 750-1500 elements inside just 1 movie . My all movies were published and guess what , almost no one watched it , it had 200 views . These movies are the top of tops , this is what happend , people are not looking for value and quality content , they just addicted to watch something and get to the next video , anything that is more than just talking isnt in their interest . Don't get me wrong about talking cuz without You I wouldn't be happy to discover so many great things in FCPX , but the point of my view is , I have to talk about anything or I'm not going to blow up. So this is specific about what content this is and this is hard to talk about it because there is not so many people doing art , as You know art movies and also b rolls takes a few steps further than just a basic vlog. God Bless You.

[@pauljakeman]

Really great video buddy. I guess it’s the more you record edit and post, the better you get. And not have too much of a gap inbetween (unlike me) And also like you said, work with what you have. I just really want to get started again when I can decide more what I want to do. I don’t have massive expectations with it paying the bills, but it would be good if it did. Really awesome video man. Ans looking great too! 💪🏻

[@FLG8r]

great insight, lessons learned ... have to start somewhere and perseverance is key to success

[@YosepAliSaputra]

inspired as always, and still enjoy watch your video Pete😅 have a good day dude..🤙🏽

[@MarkSiegemund]

I think it's also important to mention that some are short edits for posting daily or weekly. Or long edits that will be posted once a month. There are channels that post once a month and have lots of views each time on them. For example studio edits are much faster and efficient, but not as engaging. Outdoor shoots, travel shoots or any sort where you do some challenge over a time-span are becoming like a documentary edit and take really long time.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Absolutley, not eery video has to be the best you've ever made. But you do learn from all of them.

[@SoleAdventuresNZ]

Awesome tips 💯. I needed to hear alot of this 👍

[@Debtfreehomesteaders]

Great supportive content as always! Consistency is always hard yet paramount! Thanks Peter! -Will

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thanks for watching man! Yeah consistency is absolutely a key factor

[@Markchristiankc]

SO happy to hear you're going to be posting more videos! You, the other Peter n Matti are some of the KZbinrs that inspired me to actually go hard at youtube. Excited to see more content from you man :D

[@PeterLindgren1]

Yay! Thank you!

Omgosh... #5! #5 is the one that gives me more trouble... Once I start, I'm good, but getting starting... man... lol, thanks for sharing!

[@carloslovesmandy248]

Always inspired by your insight. I confess that I'm not putting in the work to improve camera and video skills. I need to get off my @ss and hit record. Thanks for always sharing your journey. Hope to see you in that Toyota Tundra one day. Greetings from Sweet Home Alabama, Carlos

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Thanks for the insight. I definitely need to get some brand deals going.

[@landonhammett]

Peter, appreciate the video as always. Super Helpful. When you say you make videos for brands, are they the more cinematic type of videos that you sometimes do here on your KZbin channel or are they more talking head videos doing a review of their product?

[@kenslyder]

I love it! who knows. Maybe I will be there too in a few years. I would love to make it full time like you 😍

[@PeterLindgren1]

You can do it!

[@stefanexplores]

Some valuable insight here. Thank you, Peter.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Thank YOU

[@MattiasJBackman]

How do you put an accurate price for your work to the clients? Is there some kind of metrics that determine what you get paid like the amount of subscribers, watchtime or CTR to whatever you are promoting ? Thanks for another interesting video 👍

[@bernardsmihula]

valueable insights man!

[@JakeStoker]

Another banger as always.

[@splitsgreen]

Great solid tip video and kind of the answers to some questions I had . I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago, always inspirational.! 👊 We have alot of the same taste in equipment too I see 😎. Also based in Göteborg and starting up my own small business (beginning phase), mainly towards videography of Active Safety testing , also with drones ofc. Who knows ; Maybe one day I’ll see you around or we will create something cool together in project! Need to catch up first though 😅. One question I have is about how to price projects for customers? Any tips on how you do it? 🤘

[@PeterLindgren1]

Grymt, kötta på! Svårt att säga, men man skall alltid sätta ett högre pris än man tror man är värd.

[@Heydigitalprem]

I have a Sony A6400 with a Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens, and I’m planning to start shooting talking head videos indoors. I’m considering replacing the Sony A6400 with either the Sony FX30, Sony A6700, or Sony A7C II, but I’m totally confused about which one to choose. I haven’t shot any videos yet. Should I upgrade the camera and lens now, or wait a few months until I build a base audience for my KZbin channel before upgrading?

[@capsilam8787]

You make awesome videos and are so funny. English with Gothenburg accent sounds hilarious!

[@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens]

Hey! Nice video as always BUT: lift up your seat on the spinnig bike ;) Love the show. Cheers from Slovenia!

[@MidlifeMotor]

Much respect to you Peter. I am an occasional uploader on various channels and that's hard enough. Making this a full time thing feels almost impossible. Nevertheless another great video.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Same to you for taking your time to watch! Yeah it ain’t an easy ride 😅

Peter, ingen av motionvfx länkarna fungerar för mig (kanske fel hos mig men andra länkar funkar däremot) bara så att du vet så du kanske vill kolla igenom det?

Amazing b roll per usual from you Pete. But dude, you’re so far past these “what would I do if I could do it again” videos. Make more awesome cinema camera on an RC car vids or epic nerf gun battle vids!

@@PeterLindgren1 I not trying to throw shade. I really enjoy your content and have since you were >100k subs! What really set you apart from all of the other creators to me were the construction montages, the thinking outside of the box with your FPV drone vids and BTS with the metal band! I’m just surprised to see you making these videos like everyone else makes, I think you’re capable of making incredible content!💪

Can’t make special content every time. Then it wouldn’t be special.

Good video but the title is wrong. It should be "5 things I wish I HAD known.......". You have used the INCORRECT American usage which is wrong. Google the term "past subjunctive" if you don't believe me.

I’d is a contraction for i had and I would
