[@BlackPeerama]

I am making my own cartoon series called Blawk Peeroma

[@OfficialPiyush_Sharma]

1) does that lens good for vlogging also? 2) D.resolve changes the outcome (so need settings) Thank you and have a great year

[@ChristianChoreowithChrishendo.]

Basically when I finish editing and upload to KZbin, the quality of my video is almost always worse for some reason than the original exported video. Once I view it on the platform it’s not as sharp or clear. 😕 I’m very detail oriented so it bothers me a lot. I just posted a New Year’s Dance video and, although it’s awesome, it’s not as crisp as I desired.

[@MkudigiMedia]

Hi, I like your video they are great

[@muslimischelamia3345]

O Allah, bless our Prophet Muhammad 💕 Hello everyone, I am a new guest I have benefited greatly from the video that I published I wish you success and success, Lord of the worlds. Have a good day🔔🌹👍👌.

[@hallorwalahfrid6074]

I think that the problem with people doing KZbin nowadays is lack of strategy. They come up with ideas and upload them and post them straight away. They may be motivated for a couple months and may upload 40 videos in that time. 40 videos could be 40 or 20 weeks instead of 2/3 months. Batch and post consistently (I can also recommend using a little bit of Famester, as it helps massively for organic growth). Don't post everything straight away, post it on the same day/time every week. This also helps avoid burn out...

[@MarkDee]

Don't sites like famester ruin algos?

[@Shatter_bone]

I can create edit but the quality is baddddd also i do it for hobbies and to show my parents my channel went from small creator to mid creator ofc im not gonna reach the big one or even pass 100k sub

[@JEFF_IN_OHIO]

Happy New year to everyone!!! I indeed hope all of our lives can improve in 2024!!

[@AJGamingUK]

The ZVE-10 For the price range it's in is a beast of a little camera, I bought this camera as my first DSLR camera for my videography, and it's not let me down.

[@juancarlosmontes]

Y'all provide a WONDERFUL service! Your channel is a win-win all the way. I can always tell which KZbinrs are influenced by your team.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Wow, thank you!

[@itsstrez]

This is actually incredibly helpful! Just got my first camera ever for Christmas (Sony ZV E10) and will be referencing this video often to help.

[@BeyondTVchannel]

Great tips and I think I’ll be able to implement. There is such a lot to do but you broke it down well. Editing is my biggest bugbear, I can do it but it takes me too long. Thanks for everything you guys do :)

[@hitmakerzmedia]

Happy New Year guys!! Thanks for everything that you do!! 🥳🔥

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Happy new year!! Thanks for the kind words

[@ChariotManGaming85]

Happy B'day. This is why I love watching these guys..

[@genquint]

Thank you for the wonderful tips O so appreciate it!

[@alyssaanderson6012]

This was super helpful to prepare for one of my first client shoots tomorrow with new equipment! Needed the thumbnail and b-roll reminder, thank you!

[@James04U]

The video we are all waiting for 💯

[@marcgabasTHINK]

Thanks for tuning in James!

[@mattmahermoves]

This is awesome, and I have everything I need. I think its the video that's finally going to get me started.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks Matt!

[@marcelmp_]

Extremely useful video Nolan. Thank you very much!! 🧡

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BabySagan]

Thanks so much, ordered some products for my new education channel. All the best dude.

[@corymayomedia]

Great video to kick off the year Think Media

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Appreciate it!

[@amitposthair]

this was great!

[@CodeWithMario]

I think it’s a good suggestion for beginners to adjust shutter speed to get the right exposure, I think many folks are too tied to the 180 degree shutter rule and would stop down the lens instead but i think for most the shallow depth of field is more beneficial than having the right amount of motion blur from the shutter.

[@thefuturemillionaires7567]

I have just started my channel and I think you’re motivating me to work more on my videos thank you bro

[@jakeburns2012]

I've been watching KZbin videos about this stuff for about 2 years but I wish I watched this video first. You explain the basics really good

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Wow, thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@hudson701]

Am amazing video, concise, straight to the point. Really helpful will use this later in my setups

[@Createssence]

This was definitely needed! Saving up to buy me a nice camera so I can make the best high quality content!!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glad to help Nicole!

[@AMP8424]

This is good, straightforward content right here.

[@sam.kilgore]

I just got the Sony zve10 for Christmas and I was shooting with the intelligent auto mode but I didn't like it because I couldn't change the settings I wanted, I followed most of the settings you put on the camera in this video and it looks great.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Love it! Thanks for sharing Sam!

[@AviationMediaOne]

I’m just starting out with talking head videos. This really helps. Thank you 🙏

[@thatselvi]

Great video as always. I have the zv-e10 too and its a great camera. Can you suggest me what color profile is the best to use in the zv-e10 to get a great color ?

[@sobhitakhatun1059]

Happy New Year Sir 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏

[@LivingtheSprings]

Great video!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DestinationUnknown4x4]

I just bought the rode video micro ii yesterday, and it sounds so much better than the original micro.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Nice! Great start to your new year!

[@FordyRuns]

Happy new year everyone

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Happy New Year!!!

[@CarnivoreKipp]

Excellent tips to start the year!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

[@Adventurechichi666]

Since i started watching this channel it has inspired me alot.I even opened my youtube channel .the journey has been not easy but so far so good ,i love it .Am really greatful for this channel coz i learn different things everyday. Thank-you Think media❤

[@UP44khan]

Help me 😭

[@elmono3939]

Great tips ! Thx !

[@sidzhottake]

Hi Nolan ~ thanks for the video but curious what camera you used to shoot this video on. Not the Sony but rather the one that someone was holding.

[@UGC-ROMANIA]

Best !!!❤❤❤

[@BigCuzTalks]

This is really cool ty

[@GoofyGuy-WDW]

Noticing a massive difference in the sound quality from the lapel mic versus the shotgun, mic

[@benhaze1010]

Great instructional video!!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Glad it was helpful Ben!

[@FootyArts]

Please answer me soon Bro 10 minute video dailly upload or 20 minute video in 2 day interval which is better please tell me for algorithm?

[@paula93522]

Thank you so much for this video, super helpful! Would you consider creating a similar tutorial for a video where there are two people, and they move around? I'm a physio and would like to start filming the content of my sessions/exercises. Any tips would be appreciated :)

[@Dauren_B]

I like the setup

[@KittyOzzyZiggy3895]

I got the sony zv1f hopefully i made a great purchase

[@anthonyhartnett1002]

The Case for Christ…an NT Wright book. I see you, Nolan! Love seeing a believer on top of their industry. 💯🙏

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Great video

[@TurboNoobmissile]

Good video tutorial i just have one question, what it its used for gaming?

[@VerityHyde]

The Lens linked is for a Cannon, will it fit the linked Sony camera body suggested?

[@ChristianChoreowithChrishendo.]

This is such a great video 😭

[@firepawajibon]

very nice video

[@BeyondTVchannel]

Oh and another problem is if I’m shooting in as economical way possible (time wise) and I’ve set up to shoot in one place. What’s the best way to do movement so the audience stays with me. I hear you about b roll but I’m also trying to minimise the edits

[@TheZanderKrugerShow]

"I have an HP Envy Laptop which I use for recording purposes. However, when it comes to recording in 4K on OBS, it performs extremely slow. I do not wish to buy a new computer at the moment due to the high cost involved. Can you suggest any alternative options to record in 4K, such as adding a stronger external graphics card?"

[@johnclay7644]

good video.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks John, Happy New Year!

[@CuavoHoops]

i hope we all make it this year ❤

[@JaysFuntimeKingdom]

@ThinkMediaTV for kids KZbin channel how do can i utilize my iPhone 14 Pro Max for video recording? How much is the Sony Camera? Also i use a iPad 10th gen for editing with iMovie software. Please need feedback and advice, also i would appreciate any tips you have for my kid’s videos i edited. I really want better video quality and audio quality. How much is a good budget for beginner youtubers? Thanks ❤

[@user-cn2lr7pi4c]

Pls guys I need fast respond , what is better light to get amaran 60d s or gvm80d

[@ThingsIBuy]

I love my rode videomic pro

[@JamesBeadleDC]

I bought the camera and lens, but the lens doesn't match the camera :( Can you suggest another lens?

[@4cryinoutloud291]

Hey Nolan, I used your link for the softbox but it doesn't have the Bowen mount, it's just an umbrella. So I'll have to return it unless you have another suggestion. You might want to fix your link so that it's usable.

[@4cryinoutloud291]

@LindsayMargaret Not yet. But soon.

[@CreativeThinking52]

Happy New Year!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Have a fantastic day.🎉👍👏591 likes

Happy new year!

[@rhys.finance]

I just filmed my most recent video in 4k but for some reason the highest quality it can be viewed in on KZbin is 1080p. Any idea why this is?

[@MKHABARI24]

I just got monetized yesterday and most of the times I post shorts since yesterday I have a short with more than 1k views but don't see any kind of money is that normal?

[@BlackPeerama]

Happy New Year’s Day to you too 2024

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Happy New Year!

[@BlackPeerama]

@@ThinkMediaTV same to you!

[@jeanettemasontv1416]

HEY THINK MEDIA 😊👋

[@CyberTom]

Good video, but truthfully a flagship phone works just as well for a camera!

[@EliotTHINK]

Your phone is definitely a GREAT starting point 💯

[@James04U]

Can I use these lenses for my Sony zv e1?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Hi James! You'll need to make sure they are FE (full frame) Sony lenses, so this specific lens won't cover the larger sensor

[@rosecoloredglasses-logan]

😇This was great information. I knew some, but I was looking for some specific camera settings, which you provided and I really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing your video!

[@Goofy_Ahh_VIDs_inc.]

Getting the balance between the distance of my mouth and my mic without it being obstructive

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Exactly!

[@found.ernest]

Is it better to record to the camera’s sd card or to a pc with obs?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Recording to the SD Card is best, but if you have a desk setup it can be convenient to do it into OBS!

[@found.ernest]

@@ThinkMediaTV Great, thank you! I don’t have OBS setup yet, so that’s one less obstacle to pressing record 😉

[@michelleking6643]

Anyone working with the ZV-1? I have this camera. Hope it does the job.

[@lizxjoanne]

Well what if your just starting out and you don't have the money for a camera? I'm using an iPad and it's a lot better than my phone but I'm still learning about lights and editing, it's hard though

[@unboundbytiffany]

I actually liked the 1st audio personally.. hmm

[@Wheels518]

For me, the biggest struggle I have is making sure I am in frame and centered. Because when you’re blind, you just gotta guess and pray. Lol

[@ThinkMediaTV]

That is a challenge! If you have a wide angle lens, one tip that should help is to point the lens at your chin, that should give you the proper amount of head room!

[@arkanaahmed]

First video in 2024 😍

[@arshilkazi4557]

What about green screen?

[@MindsetStartHere]

"My niche is Tamil motivational videos. Can you suggest which category to select on KZbin? Currently, I am choosing 'People and Vlogs.'"

[@danawick9817]

guess i need to wait until i have a 1000 dollar camera

[@Animalstv8019]

To the person who is reading this comment I love you ❤ and happy new year God bless you

[@aubreytrabert7831]

Happy New Year 🎉

[@allin3639]

Come on! The built-in mic in the ZV-E10 does not sound like that. I use this camera for my automotive channel with no use of external mics, and the sound is good. Make sure to have Wind Noise setting OFF, and use the wind muff that comes with the camera when using it outdoors. I've been watching this channel for a while now and this is highly inaccurate.

[@AnupAdhikari]

Me struggling to pass the 1k line watching this 👀

[@Kingman65]

Anyone with an old video editing laptop that can help me🙏

[@Kingman65]

Hey I can use that am very serious

[@Fabfash40]

Money, who's got 1k spare to pay for all the equipment? That camera is at least 600 GBP.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Check out our video on how to do the same with your phone! kzbin.info/www/bejne/raTcpmZueKesbac

[@laboratorionumerouno]

Why are you shooting this video at 25p while advising people to shoot in 24/30? In Europe you always should use 25p and 1/50 SS.

[@libiyaKannan]

Plize help me sir🙏😭

the same video re-recorded over and over and over. i used to respect you guys so much more...YES i learned a lot from you guys but i've figured out your algorithm of just posting the same clickbait title over and over. same content, same info. and some times even the same person different day.
