How I Make My YouTube Videos -(Weird Paul) 2016 Film Edit VHS Tutorial How To iMovie

[@OurMonkeysOurCircus]

you are my vintage hero

[@weirdpaulp]

I am simply a man.

[@EsotericTherapy]

Well, you're a top bloke (as we say here in Australia).

[@uhavemooface]

This question might either be stupid or just a nice question. Do you have the original Nintendo still?

[@weirdpaulp]

I do, it's in this video along with all my other vintage systems: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWO8hZqOpclsobc

[@stacy3]

NateDoggbehindacamera I love the way you got ignored lol

[@imgonnapackit]

WOW. I thought you were using some kind of filter to make your video look vintage. Boy was I wrong. Love how you even use an old Mac. awesome paul!

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks, glad you dig it!

[@CrissBaybay]

@@weirdpaulp your vintage style videos bring me back. Im glad you have that passion!

[@ImTheDaveman]

What I love about your videos is they do not simulate a retro look - they in fact ARE Retro! Only transferred to modern tech. Awesome!

[@CrissBaybay]

Right? It makes me want More lol

[@ArcadeGames]

I love the style of video those old camcorders put out, so much nostalgia. You are a pretty chill person too!

[@weirdpaulp]

It's what I grew up watching, so I enjoy continuing to use it!

[@technologyproductions-ye3px]

yeah

[@vinyleyezz]

Such an awesome True Analog workflow! Digital recordings and filters, just wouldn't look the same! Very cool!

[@weirdpaulp]

+Vinyl Eyezz Thank you!

[@reb6453]

Yooooo

[@reb6453]

Thanks to you I have a 100$ record player

[@vinyleyezz]

@Nick Name Hey Nick! :D

[@vinyleyezz]

@@reb6453 I'm so glad I could help you! Happy Spinning! :D

[@mrfurball]

the old analog camera gives your videos character , in this day and age of hd and super duper hd everything it's quite refreshing to relive my childhood with the technology that was around when I was young. long live the 80's

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks! People ask me sometimes why I don't get an HD camera. I just don't see any reason to. My old laptops can't handle HD files anyway so there is really no point.

[@rproductions1865]

Uses a video 8 as a camera and a vcr for capturing footage, one of my favorite KZbinrs

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks Rob!

[@rproductions1865]

WEIRD PAUL - ORIGINAL VLOGGER 80'S It's Richard

[@PlayLiveRepeat]

I am commenting while watching...this is the most amazing video ever.

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks! Glad you are in the middle of enjoying it!!

[@PlayLiveRepeat]

+ORIGINAL VLOGGER 80'S WEIRD PAUL Hahaha!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelr.4878]

I like this guy. He clearly doesn't give two craps about what people think of him or his interests..and he isn't trying to impress people. This dude is my kind of guy. Genuine and true to himself. The young people of the current generation should be paying attention to Paul.

[@TipsterLIVE]

I love how you don't just use an old camera, but also an old computer and software. That's so awesome and really helps maintain the retro aesthetic. BTW, 8-Bit Eric sent me here. 😉

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks! 8-Bit Eric is the man! I always say, I do things the hard way out of necessity, not for aesthetic. But, most people seem to like it, so I'll keep doing it!

[@TipsterLIVE]

ORIGINAL VLOGGER 80'S WEIRD PAUL That's awesome man. Been watching some more of your vids and really liked them. Just watched the ones about your glasses. Sounded like a boring idea for a video, but surprisingly I enjoyed it! Keep up the awesome work man. Seriously loving your channel.

[@weirdpaulp]

+Tipster Gaming thanks! I would never make a video that was boring... If I could help it!

[@BrutalKong]

This is seriously cool! I haven't seen anything like this on KZbin ever before. You're one of a kind dude! keep it up! :)

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks Andrew! Lots more on the way!

[@TheHandheldGamer]

I'm very impressed that you have held on to all of that stuff over the years. I wish I would have done the same. I believe my first video camera was much later. I believe I got mine around 1990. Good Times!

[@weirdpaulp]

I'm very happy that I held on to the stuff I kept - for sure!

[@TheHandheldGamer]

ORIGINAL VLOGGER 80'S WEIRD PAUL I should have done this same over the years but I didn't. Well I'm glad at least someone did. LOL!

[@aus80srockradio94]

Weird Paul is excellent, so much fun & amazing information on all the old school things we all grew up with!

[@weirdpaulp]

+Aus80sRockRadio I'm having a great time over here!

[@MediaWatchDawg]

Thanks for pulling back the curtain to show how it's done. Plus, it makes the room a lot brighter.

[@uncoolpapi3591]

This guys attitude makes me so happy. Love this content and this tutorial.

[@SheikMMO]

I remember when i had a sony camera like that and recorded my skateboarding as a teen and then i obviously had to have a fisheye, so what i did was i found an old projector in a container smashed it took the glas thats behind the lens, and put it the opposite way infront of the sony camera lens. And now i know how i can get that footage to my computer ty :3

[@weirdpaulp]

No problem! Necessity is the mother of invention!

[@sloppyjoe_tv]

Paul, you were one of the inspirations for me to make videos like this. I now have posted my own music video shot on a hi8 handycam and recorded on a 4 track. Thanks for sharing how you make videos!

[@nitramsk8]

It's nice to find that people still find uses for those cameras. Most vhs cameras I've seen are in a pawn shop or goodwill collecting dust.

[@weirdpaulp]

I see lots of them at the thrift store all the time.

[@willy7369]

Giving me new ideas to try out for my videos . Paul, I really enjoy they way you present all your footage and videos. Am Very glad I found your channel. So much enjoyment Thank you.

[@weirdpaulp]

I really appreciate it and I'm glad you are enjoying it!

[@exprired]

Super RETRO! I love your yt channel, it's so amazing how with you and other retro youtubers, the 90s - 80s fashion is coming back! Ah, the 80s. The golden days!

[@Frisenette]

Don’t lump the 80s and 90s! :-( They are two very different things.

[@prmpunk6800]

You are a old school bad ass! 😎💪🏻

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks!

[@vhs8669]

Hey paul.... I just discovered your channel while searching for B movie stuff. You got great videos of back in the day and I love your collections.

[@weirdpaulp]

+R J Macready Thank you! I'm glad you are digging it!

[@eddiesparxx2715]

You are officially one of my favourite people!

[@weirdpaulp]

Thank you Jonathan!

[@howard4824]

The look and feel of your vids always take me back to the 80's. Very cool. 👍

[@weirdpaulp]

+Howard482 Thanks Howard! I'm glad it takes you back!

[@teamstokma7994]

I love the theme!

[@lynnethermann7966]

~ thanks for the info Paul! ~ i'd love making videos the same way! ~ the look of video tape really can't be beat.

[@weirdpaulp]

+Lynne Thermann I really have become a master at it! I don't want to do it any other way!

[@jellyduck100]

Man! This is absolutely genius!

[@weirdpaulp]

+Jellyduck100 Thank you!

[@indiopeltier9758]

this is so rad I was wondering how you got such a badass Vhs retro video style.Thanks again

[@JSF0864]

That's great you still use VHS, looks great - digital video looks to perfect to me.

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks! I feel the same way about digital video...and all the sterile music that is being made as well.

[@madison8809]

So you do use film!! Love it!

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks Madison!

[@BarefootIguana]

Love your videos man! Awesome seeing all your passion for the things you love dude!

[@weirdpaulp]

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@Heramitep]

It was great to see the whole room where you video in!! I really enjoyed this! Thanks Paul

[@weirdpaulp]

+Heramitep Thank you for watching, as always!

[@RealToughCandy]

You are so cool!!!! I love that your editing equipment is also slightly vintage.

[@weirdpaulp]

Thank you very much!

[@simonworleycreative6636]

Really appreciate the vhs video look you retain regardless of the conversion. Stands out from the rest!

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks! I don't think there is another channel on KZbin doing it!

[@JoshGassthejoshiebean51]

i have an idea for a video you could do, "Mall Memories" it could be like what stores you went to what was your favorite anchor and is you mall still open to this day?

[@weirdpaulp]

+JMan25 That's a great idea. I certainly spent a lot of time at the mall - so there's lots of memories!

[@cowboys4life956]

That is super cool, i actually thought you were using some kind of a filter to make the video look like this. I just started watching your videos and i sure love them. I have a lot to watch and im sure enjoying them.

[@weirdpaulp]

+Lee Roy Gonzalez Thanks! I am glad you are enjoying them and there will always be more on the way!

Thank YOU, Ben!

There's a saying in Oklahoma that goes "Poor boy has poor ways", which I have always related to! haha! I say a poor way is better than none! Working within limitations has a way of pushing you to new places! Creativity is unstoppable!

[@weirdpaulp]

+munchycrunchypancake It's true! I think that I have managed some amazing things in my life due to my limitations!

[@thorn99thorn]

This was pretty helpful. I've been interested in making videos in making vids with old cameras and stuff like that. I don't really have any of the right equipment, but this was still helpful.

[@jtpinnyc]

VHS is such an awesome format with loads of character. I dabble in audio production and it's a common "retro" technique to record digital audio to VHS to degrade it with some hiss, wobble and flutter. Although I have some plugins which do a pretty good job of simulating it.

[@weirdpaulp]

I just love it because it's analog. It's something you can touch.

[@TheHandheldGamer]

I found this video​ very interesting on how you record your videos. It's very interesting in a very different way then I do mine. I would have guessed you were converting it to look retro. thanks for making this video , very cool!

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks Bill!

[@richardtherrien4696]

You have a unique style of your own man. Full of retro goodness😀🤓

[@weirdpaulp]

+richard therrien Thanks Richard!

[@Mistamista69]

I've always liked the look of the VHS video, also I like your 60s hairstyle man!

[@weirdpaulp]

+sir weedleaf thanks sir weedleaf!

[@daviddeltoro1808]

Hey Paul, it's me (FillmoreVideo) i deleted my account a while ago but i want to say thanks for finally making this video. I've been curious about the whole process ever since i subscribed and i want to make some VHS youtube videos of my own

[@weirdpaulp]

+David Del toro Cool, good to know it's you! Glad you enjoyed it, hope to see the videos you make!

[@GbrElfunk]

You're the best Weird Paul!

[@weirdpaulp]

Thank you!

[@atco21117]

Hi W'Paul - Cool video. I like how you got the old tech out and made it work like the new stuff. I do my videos using only a "point and shoot" camera with a big memory card in it. I've had my Canon for more then 15 years. Just lately I started using HD videos. To do that I had to buy a new camera and got it at Walmart for about $100. For editing I purchased Roxio Creator for $50 that was on sale at BestBuy in 2011. Funny, it was just a few years ago that people talked me into putting out a KZbin video to show off my game room. Only planned to make 2 or 3 videos. Now I've put out 200+ videos on my channel. It's been fun. See ya -- Atco

[@weirdpaulp]

+atco21117 It can kind of get addicting, making these videos! I'll make sure to check out your channel!

[@christophersanchez3213]

+ORIGINAL VLOGGER 80'S WEIRD PAUL yes Sir.

[@jochapat]

Right on. Thanks for the post. I just watched the doc "Will Work For Views" I like your passion. It's interesting that you use 8video. I'm about the same age as you and me and my friends would use Hi8 video cameras in the early 1990s. I recently transferred an unedited raw footage tape from 92. I was surprised how hard it is to find Hi8Video cameras now. I use to work in Films in LA, so it was cool seeing that you played there. I saw my friend's name roll by in your credits. Phill Mell, we worked on a few films together.. Anyways.... I like what you are doing. Continue....Charlie

[@weirdpaulp]

Glad you enjoyed watching the movie! Thanks for subscribing!

I think 1999, I had the Sharp Viewcam, I loved it.

[@MilkoMilkovicz]

Oh my... How i miss the nineties. ;( Best times ever.

[@ghoulworldorder2406]

Keep doing the VHS format. It's a unique appeal! ~Buzz Killer, Talking Zombie From Western Pennsylvania

[@calumryan6328]

I was wondering how you got the distinct retro look in your videos, the analogue/vhs aspect must be the answer. thanks!

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

Stylish end result as usual mate! M.

[@weirdpaulp]

+MARSHOMEWORLD Thanks man! I really am a master at this technique I use at this point. And if it ain't broken, don't fix it!

[@ArtisticAutisticandAiling]

I got a Canopus DV Converter finally to Digitalise my Videotapes! It's no wonder you managed to achieve capturing those tapes. Especially those Color Video Camera tapes! :) :D

[@gonetospace5544]

Do you have an original Sony Walkman.I just started to get into making mixtapes and I think the whole idea about them is awesome

[@weirdpaulp]

I only have a couple of Walkmans right now. I don't think I have an actual Sony. I had a Kool Aid Man walkman at one point but it broke.

[@randymcdunnamusicbeerfun8642]

Cool. That's how you get that retro look. I use iMovie/iPhones and I'm still figuring it out, eh.

[@weirdpaulp]

+Randy McDunna Music Beer Fun I have tried using imovies newer than 5, but I just don't work well with them. I'm a master at imovie 5!

[@randymcdunnamusicbeerfun8642]

Right on. Stick with the best iteration for you. That's what I do with bands.

[@MrJesseSmall]

Awesome video Paul!

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks Jesse!

[@Canoodling]

Yeah, you've really inspired me. I want to be more like you.

[@darkempire37]

I like what you are doing ...very retro nostalgic ! I have a vhs-c camcorder that I got in 2003 that I have been thinking of making some videos for youtube with so this is very informative .I also have a working vcr and collect vhs tapes . thank you for sharing

[@weirdpaulp]

Very cool, you should definitely use the camera to make some videos!

[@darkempire37]

thank you for your response , you are a class act !

[@carlosestebanvr]

darkempire37 woah me too but in my case its a samsung hi8 camcorder ._.

[@lucatoscani1525]

very good way to go around things and make very nice videos. why buy new cams where you can make old style stuff work so well? well done! a punch to unnecessary waste

[@weirdpaulp]

+Luca Toscani Yes! I don't like to buy a lot of new stuff like many people do. People get rid of things so quickly, I might as well use their old stuff!

[@Ninnuam999]

Another youtuber that records in analog format to add to my subscriptions haha.

[@weirdpaulp]

How many others are there haha

[@robertnycguyraisedonrecord7587]

I wish I had the courage and time to make videos. It would be cool to share what I own. I'm a huge collector as yu know. You've helped us with this video, in case I have the courage.

[@weirdpaulp]

+Robert Nunez The time is the hard part for me. Sometimes I am racing to make the deadline and put it up on Monday night. There's always so much going on in life.

[@robertnycguyraisedonrecord7587]

+ORIGINAL VLOGGER 80'S WEIRD PAUL :) So true.

[@Lilsundrop]

Omg the space heater ❤️

[@weirdpaulp]

I wonder how many videos I have used it in. I've lost count, but hundreds for sure.

[@livesportsvideo02]

Doesn't say a lot about Sony camcorders though. The tape mechanisms suck. I have a old JVC and it is still going strong. Filmed my entire kids growing up with it had it since 1997 and it was 10 years old when I got it. Great video though, everything has a soft focus feel to it and over saturated colours. I did wonder why not leave out the VCR and go directly to the mac, then in your comments you state the Mac is down stairs plus I guess you got an archive on tape. Anyhow keep up the good work.😀

[@thebosshow]

THE BEST !!

[@TheVloginsons]

This was an interesting look at how you do what you do Paul. I have been trying to convert some old vhs footage to a digital signal. I have to do it in real time which takes a loooong time. Where I run in to problems is with rendering. Sony vegas doesn't want to convert the footage to something uploadable. It gets stuck at 80%

[@weirdpaulp]

+The Vloginsons hmm. There's so many little problems to figure out and overcome with this new technology. I do it all in real time too, which is why I have so much old footage that is still not digitized...TONS of it. And it's starting to degrade, unfortunately.

[@TheVloginsons]

Yep. That whole degrading thing kind of lights a fire under my butt.

[@wetdroidedition2549]

You are a genius, dude!!!

[@TheRoninDrifter]

Thank you!

[@MrLyosea]

You and I share one big thing in common. Mentioning dates of when things were made and when you got them. My dad always thinks I'm weird like that. Now I know I'm Weird Sean.

[@supyo7778]

beautiful

[@weirdpaulp]

Thank you.

[@Vebinz]

Really great video, very succinct and informative. have you tried just connecting the camera directly tot he converter and on to the computer, and by-passing the vhs? Or would that change the video's look?

[@weirdpaulp]

+Vebinz Thanks! That seems so obvious now that you mention it, but it has never even occurred to me to try that! Guess I'll see what happens, theoretically it should work!

[@MovieVigilante]

+Vebinz I was going to suggest the same thing

[@youaintseenmeok]

Good work Paul ✌🏻

[@oddpodshow]

very interesting, great vid :)

+Odd Pod Thank you!

[@strummerrr]

you should add this video to the Q&A playlist..

[@tjnickles4782]

What kind of file are you convert your videos to do convert in DV format or do you use a different file type to convert your videos that we do but upload them whenever I use my old VHS camcorder are usually put it on a DVD first and then I take the file and making it to what is known as a dv file that way I can have it on my computer so I can watch it all of it easier but also knowing that I have a DVD copy in case something goes wrong

[@isaacsquire5916]

Very cool, Pall!

[@weirdpaulp]

Thanks Isaac!

[@JoeOnaBoat]

love it

[@DavesDumbSongs]

I love how you always know the exact date of the events in your life.

[@weirdpaulp]

Unlike most people, I wrote a lot of specific stuff down on the days it happened. I wish I had written more, but I just need to realize how lucky I am!

Welcome!

[@shaggyboombastic1058]

Hey weird paul! Can you put the output of the camera into the digitizer and it look better?

It just goes to show that you don’t need super duper expensive state of the ark technology to make super great quality content

[@Welshtrainsguy2024]

I recently bought a 1993 panasonic NV-G202B (VHS-C) camcorder, for $35 (originally $65) my mum has a huge surprise for me next week, im gunna film said surprise on this camcorder, its gunna be soooo fun!
