How To Make A Good YouTube Video

[@CindeyTv]

Thanks for all the tips guys! After 3 years of creating my channel I finally uploaded my first video.

[@silverechohawk5315]

Audio on the collar is so incredibly important, and I'm so glad you mentioned the importance of good clear audio. It's very simple and so many people neglect this: what's being recorded has to be close to the mic.

[@ayikobrandon8537]

You guys have tremendously inspired youtubers to improve their videos. That alone makes you guys get even more subscribers.

[@tippytoes2951]

Being a competent human being helps. Thanks for the beautiful vid.

[@ibanezrg320fm]

Learned a few tips here. I am putting together a product review and I am trying to take it a little more serious. So I started with riding around on my motorcycle to help introduce what I wanted to say and since I was riding around, it helps to waste the time a little instead of standing in front of my motorcycle for 20 seconds. You can imagine the awkwardness that would be like. I don't want to be in the video since I'm doing a product review however, I have learned some important skills. First I started with writing it down for key things to speak. Introduction, what I want to review, maybe a quick story under 15 seconds, and some more points but literally writing it down on my phone is very helpful. Since I'm not using my phone to record, I can read off of it. But after recording only Audio of my voice, there's times when you can tell I'm reading so that's not good. Instead I go back and try to break it up and create pauses here and there with emphasis of certain words and creating a natural character. After recording audio of how and what I want to say, it makes video easy because you know what you're going to say so you can just listen to what you recorded and follow along recording the video of exactly what you want to record. Because no one likes people starting at one thing while you speak about it for upwards of 20-30 seconds. And timing is key because of that so people only want down and dirty quick 2-5 minute videos. It's definitely a learning experience!

[@goatsurgeon]

Keep videos short, simple. And entertaining. No dead space, no dead air. Make them hit point to point, subject to subject. Keep cool things happening so they don’t get bored and make sure the viewer gained from watching it.

[@chiquitalatinafun]

As an avid KZbin viewer, I agree on your key points! I have left so many videos because of bad sound quality and or lighting. Starting out though, I know that I wasn't aware how important these elements were.

[@maniakidd2009]

Found you guys on YT after having the crazy idea of wanting to start my own channel. I want to start out the right way and your channel has been very helpful. If everyone else followed your advice on how to make great videos with useful content, then we'd have a lot less "trashy" videos on here. Keep it up guys! Thumbs up!

[@talitalks]

I love the tip about deciding the purpose of your video ahead of time. One thing that has also been really helpful to me in planning the video is planning ahead of time and being intentional about what my intro and outro are going to contain. I think it's really effective when KZbinrs introduce themselves and their channel at the beginning of their video for any new subscribers or viewers. It's much easier to have that planned going into your video than trying to wing an outtro on the fly!

[@tracywillard5623]

Thank you guys so much! I've had a channel for a while now and haven't had a single video but now I think I might be able to do it now! THANK YOU TWO SO MUCH!

[@tracywillard5623]

Im not going to make a video yet but when I do im going to thank you in the description :)

[@kathrynshreeve9367]

I uh started a KZbin channel then.. someone said it sucks😔so I deleted all my videos. Don't ever let that happen to u guys. U keep trying. Don't care what the ppl say! Just do what makes u happy!! One day I promise you your vid will go viral! Just keep believing!.. unlike I did

[@trollface1994]

but your videos still sucked though, didn't it?

[@goatsurgeon]

I just got another two up today I’ll have to study this one really good, make sure I’m not missing anything Even with good videos, you’ve gotta chip away at it

[@TerraNovaBoys]

Really enjoyed the comment about making sure you're growing. That's definitely part of the showing your personality to the viewers. Also great tip about shooting in car to improve audio. I didn't know this. Great video guys!

[@saragoetz7554]

Once on my son’s KZbin channel he has 4 subs and somebody comment and said cool so even though someone says that there channel sucks or if it’s stupid just don’t give up even though they right bad comments like this sucks still keep on trying

[@neoray10]

thank you Benji and Sean, another good tip is finding your own unique story in the edit.

[@anythingjessica]

Love this video, but I think the most important message I got out of it is just to keep going and keep trying, and to keep bettering your channel and videos. Sometimes its easy to feel defeated on KZbin but we just have to stay motivated and try to improve our channels.

[@jolyblack865]

Benji is so funny for the first 20 seconds! I'm loving that sassy gestures!!!!!

[@AFateSoTwisted]

I wish you all would make some videos focused on those of us who do tutorials. I can't set up my sewing machine outside. Talk to me about what I can do to make my videos better. I've watched quite a few of these videos and not one of them directly mentions tutorial makers.

[@pyropothead6724]

This is perhaps the most helpful channel for KZbinrs I've ever come across

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

I think it's important to always have a "call to action" at the end of your videos. Do you want people to comment? Like? Subscribe? Visit your blog? Your website? Your online store? What do you want them to do? It's all about engaging your viewers to want to do more and see more. I'm learning this as I go. That's the thing about KZbin videos/channels, you're always evolving, hopefully for the better. Enjoying your awesome videos! I've learned a lot and still have a lot to learn! ~ Pat :)

[@MaggieMagnoli]

***** I've found that CTAs work better for my in the beginning and mid-way through the videos. In the oversaturated beauty community where everything has become so professionally done, if my review video does not capture my audience in the first 10-15 seconds the remaining 3 - 4 minutes is a bust.

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

***** Thanks for the insight. That makes sense. I'm in the crafting community, which isn't as popular as the beauty community, but it is over saturated with people doing the same thing. I'll try your advice and see how it goes! Thanks again :)

[@MaggieMagnoli]

:)

[@videoproductionofgrandrapi5837]

Great tips, and taking notes! I totally agree with good audio. People get frustrated over bad audio and will shut it off! Thanks!

[@reneelala6260]

I'm SO EXCITED to get started!! Been really enjoying all your videos thanks so much! Here goes .....

[@Senseiryan]

***** Outtakes were epic! Loved the Nike swoosh! Thanks as always guys. Keep crushin' it!

[@MylesVMurphy]

Number 4. - Finding ways to add value is one of the most difficult strategy to understand. Great content though. Really appreciate the help.

[@dreamingpinoy4219]

Guys that was another great video!! Lots of really helpful info on focusing my video and adding value to my content! This video would be a great addition to the collection. Keep up the great work!!

[@CreateImperfect]

Great stuff! Right now I'm currently learning how to improve my presentations skills and storytelling! But I will definitely implement some of the great stuff!

[@JCHansen]

Married guys trying to start a KZbin Chanel. My kinda guys. Keep crankin brothers.

[@jammerknight5490]

Loving the videos keep them coming!!! Thank you :)

[@HeyGabsterSD]

Harry James Agreed. I am also finding them very helpful. Some of the things I can't implement right now but I am able to plan ahead now too.

[@aj-cant-dribble4457]

Thanks guys I needed this for my KZbin channel

[@MarlonGibbons]

I know the "subject" of my channel really well, and love what I do, but I'm totally new to KZbin. Your channel (it's content) is like having a personal coach, thx for all the great tips and motivation.

[@30SomethingBeauty]

V. True to learn by just doing. I just started my channel and already I've learned so many things to improve upon and tweak in just a few videos! Thanks for all the great content!

[@cynthiamanson3703]

Hi guys; thanks for the input you presented. I am new at this, and will try it out.

[@ananilawson7354]

Great advice guys! Benji!!!! When are you coming back to Napa?

[@pathofprophecy]

Thank you from Path of Prophecy: Great job on a short video! I took notes and I'm working at following through.

[@rickyreviews89]

Wow thanks guys, really this video gave me some good confident on starting my own KZbin Chanel

[@vanessabobadilla87]

Love your videos really helpful....I always been looking for videos to learn on how to do good on KZbin and I feel you guys are the best person to learn and get advice from Thank you

[@JaDan]

I used so many of these tips when working on my channel! Thanks dudes!

[@topshelftransportation4629]

Great information & inspiration! Thank you!

[@almasprobablywatchingtv13]

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks guys!

[@CrochetFiberArt]

You've said this before, but I want to remind people that 'voice' is important. I click away from a boring, almost monotone voice. They put me to sleep. I love someone who's talking to me, or laughing at little mistakes they make, or (at least) sounding like they're alive. :-)

[@lukerollins2673]

This really helped thank you!!!

[@verymaryvibes]

Great informative video! Thanks for the tips! 😀

[@SimplyCherie]

Great info! Are you guys planning on becoming KZbin-certified? I like your mix of info and interviews. And I agree with the learning by doing - so true. My tip is to be consistent - same day (even time) upload, same duration - eg 2 minute quick tip, 15 min vlog, 5 min how to - subscribers know when and what to expect. I actually look forward to channels who upload the same time every week/day, and I know I can grab a cup of coffee or wash dishes or whatever while I watch or just listen. I appreciate your hard work!

[@dwalls6638]

Thanks guys , you've helped a lot.

[@waywardkyu]

This is a great educational video! I actually took notes :D

[@paulasgarbossacoaching]

thanks fellas, this video was very helpful

[@cityjamesman1306]

Thanks for the tutorial The thing i always forgot was the preperation...

[@Velogi]

Actually sunny day is not the best for shooting outdoors, bright sunlight makes strong shadows. But when the clouds make one big softbox in front of the sun, outdoor lighting is the best!

[@maitrikongsap36]

We will try it.THANK YOU

[@Docknowsrealestate]

Great tips! Share your passion and knowledge about what you know the best.. Get started and learn as you GO! Thanks guys!

[@cornerstoneclublambs8115]

Another great video! Thanks!

[@lk3272]

Thanks guys!

[@MySweetDharma]

Great advice! I love your channel, gives great tips and yesss the videos look really good too.

[@beyondhervisionpod]

I actually love watching your videos it is great for everyone at different stages on KZbin :)

[@cameronnash8699]

Awesome points! Take it step by step & your audience will grow with you. Focus, Content, Lighting, and definitely Add Value. 👍 you guys rock, thanks!

[@m.kcrafts3052]

Just made my first few videos with a mistake of bad lighting n bad camera...but I'll keep working on the flaws..i guess that's the thing I love...there would always be room for improvement in videography even after years

[@toasttersrudel8113]

Thank you guys I just started a youtube chanel this helps a lot.

[@MsJenna619]

Speaking of Audio... the amazing sound you guys have, is that from the camera your are using? or do you have another source?

[@rashiunial4360]

This was the most helpful video!!!☺

[@westcoastgal4078]

Great video! What type of audio devices can you recommend for good sound quality if I use my iPhone or a digital camera

[@A1CarpetCareDisasterServices]

Another excellent message! Ty ty ty!!!

[@christianadventure]

Cool stuff guys! One of the big issues I am still working on fixing is getting a windscreen to work on the point and shoot cameras for outside shooting. Our Canon G-10 has the nice windscreen digital setting, plus the stick on windscreens, that work well. But, unfortunately the powershot we have, has the mic right near the lens. It is hard to fit the stick on windscreen there. Still working on it and will let you know if I get a good solution!

[@ilonarauhalaoffical]

Thank You so much! Your channel is very informative, educational and entertaining at the same time! Your content has inspired me a lot! Keep up with the good work!

[@MaggieMagnoli]

LOVE your videos. I'm learning so much.

[@catepradhan8793]

it doesnt matter if you fail, if you get it right once keep doing what you're doing.

[@ryker6richard]

Thanks guys,,,, lots of info

[@youngadventuresaustralia952]

Just wondering if you have any tips for racing videos?

[@LaurenMakai]

🎬🎥Thanks so much for sharing your tips and advice ! I really like the music used in your videos . I think originality is an element that makes a video a good video . Can't wait and looking forward to more of your videos ! 🎥🎬

[@andreeaQK]

I think that planning your videos is key for a great content. I`ve just started applying that to the content I`m creating and it`s so much simpler. P.S.: The bloopers are so funny!

[@vinswetha]

Makes so much sense!!! thank u for educating us..:)

[@TheDailyChat]

So helpful!!!! Thanks guys

[@Evelyn-Hart]

Thanks for the great tips!

[@sharlaamysamuel]

I always learn so much from these videos. God bless you guys. 👍🏾😊

[@sydneychangergames6061]

Thank you very much this video really helped!😀

[@FunWithPuzzles]

Great Information. Thanks for it.

[@LevelOneGamer]

For good lighting i recommend getting a 1000 lumen LED white light bulb. thats what i use to film at night. Its so bright it almost looks like daytime. plus there there energy saving. :)

[@TheCarDetailingChannel]

Making high quality KZbin content is way more work than it looks like but it's fun and could be very lucrative

[@ReefKnotsUK]

Really useful guys!

[@foodeatscursions]

Lots of great info! I am slowing building up the courage to start recording videos...

[@MMOVerse]

If you really want to start recording, but you are nervous, just record and put something out. if you keep putting out content even though not many people view it, you will learn alot and develop yourself from experience. if you think your content is bad, then think of all the reasons why and learn ways to change it in future content :)

[@raisacarrillo8550]

Nice advice! I agree, don't be afraid to post.

[@foodeatscursions]

+The Bigmac You're right! Thanks!!!

[@adambowers189]

hi

[@mommeydearest2962]

great info! can you do a video of camera angles? some angles make me look horrible on camera

[@bornblended2057]

Thank you for the information!

[@lkvids2786]

Thx guys this is a lot of help

[@Jameshasconnected]

Guys, I got a tips for vid influencers, don't ever put your channel website or any social media information in the intro sequence. Put it anywhere else, but that videoinfluences.net looks really untidy

[@iamjagvindersingh5884]

I make logos on MS Paint! My videos are "timelapses" and its kind a like "How To" videos. My value is "Less Resources, More Creativity" but my question is "How can I improve it more and more". Thanks for your video!

[@ROGISOUNDS]

This is great! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@9919S-x6u]

Thanks! Great video! Good information

[@fbitwinkies3083]

That’s good advice thanks for them and a lot of tips I know is basically what I have learned from you guys.

[@CraigsCuts]

Love this video and channel!

[@jpfitness_]

Great info. Im just starting out and just trying to level up each video I put out. Great advice guys! Thank you

[@LittleBookworms]

Thank you for your great tips. One question please .. For me, the most challenging part is the audio. In my place, it's really hard to find a quiet place. I record my videos outdoor .. there are so much noises; cock, bugs, birds and wind. So, it takes so long for me just to record a 5 minute video. How can I reduce those noises?

[@marsovke]

I think it;s useful to be private, intimate, make connection with audience but also give energy(be energetic) . That's i guess part of performing in the video, not really technical video quality but i guess it's important.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Here is a sort of odd question. I've been on KZbin for a while now with close to 500 videos. The channel traditionally was pointed towards how-to and information. Nothing great, but that was its angle. I've recently started vlogging after seeing videos from Casey, Louis and Judy (my wife is a big fan). Should I start a separate channel to get away from this current one? If not, should I change this username? Its my nickname, but it ends up being more confusing than anything these days when trying to get the word out. Thank you!!!

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

***** Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my channel and make provide me some good advice. I'll get working on those recommendations now!

[@lolaleonardo2318]

I canT read ur username sorry not to be rude

[@TheCelticTradersTV]

Great advice. Thanks !

[@KifDawg]

Hey this is awesome, im going to try and do a channel based on me flipping my life. These helped thanks!

[@nuprojects]

Very interesting , thanks chaps

[@demindamax459]

Thanks for your help

[@TonimaTrisha]

What kind of video editor would u suggest bro?

[@kaysbookishworld]

I definitely agree lighting is everything! I've got my laptop in front of my window and it works great! I've learned how lighting really can make you phone camera seem like a pro! I did have a question and I'm sure you guys have already touched upon it but how can I connect with potential subscribers and viewers? like how can I use Twitter that's one area I'm not that familiar with. thanks for another awesome video*!

[@kaysbookishworld]

awesome thank you so much! :)

[@narinaxo]

This was very helpful, thank you!!
