At 12:34 - "you're not gonna be able to see yourself when you're filming..." - I have a tip. Put a basic mirror, stand it behind the camera where you can see the camera screen in the mirror. Have been doing this for yrs.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the amazing video editing tutorial that you have created. The knowledge that I gained from this tutorial has been invaluable to me, and I have been able to apply it to my work in so many ways. I especially want to thank Anthony for doing such a fantastic job in presenting complicated concepts in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. His approach made it easy for me to follow along and learn quickly. Overall, I am incredibly impressed with the quality of the tutorial and the level of expertise that your team has in the field of video editing. You all have done an outstanding job, and I'm grateful for the effort that you put into creating such an excellent resource. Thank you once again for your hard work and dedication to creating this tutorial. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their video editing skills.

What I need is how to film desktop crafting videos? Getting good shots so people can see my hands and what I’m drawing etc… I’m not concerned with sound but I do want good visuals. You have taught me so much just in two videos! Thanks

[@homeedconnect]

What I’d like to know is how the heck your narrative is so clean, nearly flawless. Do you write a script? Do you have a teleprompter? How do you do it?!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Normally I actually do script my videos to keep it as streamlined as possible but this one I just mapped out basic notes and then just spoke straight into the camera with no teleprompter.

I'll just add this as apparently many people don't know, that some androids (definitely samsung galaxy, not sure about the others) have the option to wirelessly mirror phone's screen onto any other screen with wifi (smart view), or you can use chromecast connected to any screen at all to do it.

[@FrugalFlyRodder]

I've always advocated using a recorder when tethering might be an issue. The best suggestion I can give when doing so is to have the recorder and camera next to each other and clap your hands loudly. This will produce a spike on both soundtracks, allowing for better synchronization.

[@Heart_Central]

amazing tip! thanks for sharing that. I'm too new to actually have a camera and a recorder, but I'll remember this and remind future me. 😍

13:38. If you're on Android you can mirror to almost any smart watch excluding apple and any other computer, tablet or smart tv, excluding Apple. If you don't want to deal with wireless you could simply use USB-C to HDMI and hook up to any monitor or TV. Any feature apple has android has had for 3-5 years, apple just doesn't introduce it until they've found a way to monetize it.

[@JAMPROSOUND]

As much as I love Android devices, not all have usb to HDMI out. I just suggest people verify that function is an option before trying to shoot something serious. I've seen people not prepare and then have this assumption bite them come shoot time. Know your gear folks!

[@atlgrow]

Great tutorial. One of the most helpful aspects was also showing how you positioned the phone relative to you and the table. That is left out of so many tutorials like this.

[@AngloSaxon1]

I spent a lot of money on my filming and audio kit, and although I did some great video with this kit, I tend to use my phone quite a bit and the video I get is perfectly adequate for youtube, so if anyone has any ideas about spending thousands on gear for KZbin, don’t, just use your phone

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thanks for sharing!

[@vegasrenie]

Step 5: there are great wireless options that are a lot cheaper. Comica Vimo or Ulanzi are just two, for example. Ulanzi is about 50, the Comica for USB is about 100, for the iPhone about 20 more. I have the Comica because it has on-board gain and ability to monitor sound. Oh! And dead cats. Killer deal!

Thank you for all you teach. I've purchased your Content Creator and 14 Day Filmmaker courses and LOOOOOVE them. I wanted to add one thing you might want to edit into this current video. You mentioned in here that you could stream your phone camera to your computer or iWatch but said there was nothing for Android phones. That may be true for most Androids, but Samsung has a perfect solution called Samsung Flow. I didn't know about it myself until your comments inspired me to go searching for a solution. I just installed it on my phone and computer and it works like a charm. It can be streamed with tablets too. Sadly, I haven't yet been able to configure my Samsung watch, but it's supposed to work there too. But once again, THANK YOU, for all your great content and inspiration. Keep up the great work!!!

You can also stream your Android phone using OBS Studio and Iriun Webcam app (both of which are free to download).

Oddly enough, right next to the PoP mic on your amazon search was the maybesta wireless lavalier mic. At 29.99 that thing is amazing, theres a reason it has 4.4 stars across 2.5k reviews. And while that one is lightning, for the iphone, they do a USB C one, but also do a multi adapter version that works in all phones and on digital cameras. And for about $10 more, theres a version that has a built in recharge case Hands down the best mic on a budget. So I would argue that mic and decent lights over the Rode setup or the DJI (even though, of course, they are better sound) :)

[@moxiejournal]

Thanks for the super helpful structure/checklist and the tips. As for the screen mirroring on Mac- I am so grateful you showed turning your MacBook on its side. I spent hours trying to figure out how to display without doing that. My ipad will mirror the orientation correctly but my phone will only mirror to my computer in portrait mode.

Welcome to the community!

[@OurHOMEschoolPlan]

The rhetorical stage of learning - being bf able to communicate what you know is spot on! In our faith, in anything….when you truly understand something, you should be able to explain it to some degree. And if you can’t, you’re ripe for being manipulated to something else. Behind every subject, there are facts and there is a why does this matter. So many focus on the why and skip over the why does this matter. And why does this matter is what I, as a homeschool mom, am constantly asking myself. What actually matters the most? Don’t skip out on those things and don’t stress over the things that just don’t matter in the grand scheme. Unfortunately, as you alluded, we’re wired to focus on the things that don’t always matter. That’s the education system we were raised in. Meanwhile the things that do matter are slipping through the cracks……this…our society has been “dumbed down.”

[@ZukunftBilden]

Amidst the chaos and disarray, One can still create content in a clever way. By following steps with compositional finesse, Your footage can surely impress. Pick your scene with interest and depth, And clean it up, don't be inept. Composition is key, fill the frame, With straight lines and eyes, it's not a game. Lighting is crucial, don't forget, Diffused and soft, not hard and direct. Audio should be clear and refined, A mic or transmitter, take your pick, be aligned. Settings are important, don't ignore, Cinematic mode can make your footage soar. Lenses aren't needed, just use what you've got, And shoot at 24 frames per second, it's not a lot. In conclusion, let's not forget, Editing is key, it's a safe bet. Follow these steps, and with some practice too, Your smartphone footage will amaze, it's true.

Hello! As I understand it, the video was shot on an iPhone 13 or something like that. Maybe I'm wrong, but in my opinion the face looks quite flat. Is it possible to somehow set the lighting to create volume? How can you do this during the day, when the sun illuminates the entire room, and in the evening, when you use artificial light?

[@MrPaulXavier]

I shot this video in HDR and then edited in premiere pro which doesn't play nice with the HDR footage. In hindsight it would have improved a ton by NOT shooting in HDR so silly me for leaving that feature on. Additional time spend on lighting would also help

Okay, I know you said that you can start with any gear you have, but I asked your advice what the best vlogging phone was and you said the Iphone 15 Pro Max but you also that the regular Pro does the job as well. So yesterday I went to our local electronic store and I purchased the Iphone 15 Pro (so no Max) and I'm diving into your course. First of all, I see a lot of great KZbinrs and I wish I could listen to them all and purchase and follow all their courses but you got more my attention than the other ones. You seems to be more genuine and you don't turn around the subject or provide general information which are based on common sense. My plan was to follow each day 1 Day of your course, but it is packed with so much information that I just finished the Frame Rate section, which took me just about 2 hours so for now I have to let sink in this information (as I'm a slow learner) and to quit for today (as I have more to do today - busy life). So I think I will finish this course in one year instead of 14 days! Now because you explain it so well that even I !! can understand it (and that's something, because I recently tested my IQ which is average, maybe even less than average) I feel really bad to the point that I'm crying right now as i'm writing this down. Cause my dream to become a KZbinr has costs me a lot of money and time already and I feel like I stole this money from my own family. I purchased a course in the beginning from a famous KZbinr (I won't mention his name cause I'm sure his intentions were great) but I feel a bit ripped off like I bought a bag of air with only some crumps of my favorite cookies on the bottom. I feel so stupid that I subscribed to licences which I didn't need. That I bought some fancy gear which I don't understand the use of it, etc. I invested like 3K to my KZbin (and other social media) dream and with my impatience and being impulsive (I have a self proclaimed ADHD and maybe other mental disorders) it took me a lot of -wasted- time, -wasted- energy and -wasted- money. Now with your course I feel like I'm learning actually something highly valuable and I regret it so much that I didn't discover you in the beginning. All I needed was this course, a descent phone and some inexpensive gear you recommend as well. Sorry for the oversharing and self pity but I needed to get this off my chest to restart fresh and I will promise to you but also to myself that I stick to this course till it's finished and that I will finish it (the other courses I finished too, the only good thing I did so far). Your course is the best out there, and affordable! You don't steal our dreams and our money. And armed with my notebook, pen and new Iphone I'm sure I can reach my goal, which is to create a second income, as a content creator and as an artist. And 1K for me is more than enough as I just want to be acknowledged as an artist and your course will be the foundation of this dream! As you said, we just have to persistant and staying focussed and then it is just a matter of time and I believe in that. I'm willing to put it in the hard work and I'm passionated to work this way and I can be proud of myself! Thank you so much again. You deserve all the best!

[@MrPaulXavier]

I'm so glad you've found our 14 Day Filmmaker course to be so valuable! I poured my heart into that course and truly believe it is one of the best resources on the planet for content creators looking to grow online. I'm terribly sorry you've had bad experiences in the past with other course creators though... My best advice I can give you now would be to REALLY focus on going through the course and practicing what you learn every single day. The practicing is the ONLY thing that will get someone to the next level. Best of luck to you in your journey, I am rooting for you big time!

Honestly, I learned more than usual from you here. Thank you.

[@AudreyWiggins]

Thanks for your quick tutorial. I need to review your course again. It’s a great resource to be able to refer back to.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Always a good idea to come back for refreshers here and there

[@NaturesHealthNurse]

This has been very useful as I just started my new channel and still navigating and acquiring more skills on how to grow.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad it was helpful!

14 Day is very worth it. No disappointments.

[@MrPaulXavier]

*Cheapest, really good wireless mic you can get is the Hohem Mic 01,* way cheaper than the DJI stuff. 🤟🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤟🏽

[@brendasanders63]

Awesome! I can’t wait to purchase the course! 🤩

[@TravelInOneMinute]

[@Hannah-Melton]

This was very helpful thank you! I am just starting to do some content and hope to grow my audience and I’ve been trying to learn as much as possible! Very helpful

I didn't notice that the bookshelf behind you was slightly tilted. Even after you mentioned it I was not distracted because the tilt was very slight so it didn't matter. More importantly, what you were saying was so interesting that the background hardly mattered. The tilt was to the right for the viewer so it looked OK, but if the tilt was to the left then it would have been very slightly distracting.

This video is a great help to me! I have to admit that I stopped it a few times and rewound it to a topic I wanted to see again. I just started a channel with only one video, yikes! I am determined to get better at this. My content is based on a memoir I am writing. I am likely to upgrade to your classes if I can 'Chumba Wumba' myself into a higher level of performance.

[@FindingFobbyo]

Awesome content in this one. Super useful tips and it’s crazy to see that anyone can start their journey from a simple position. I started my channel recently and it was truly nerve wrecking to get myself in front of a camera let alone recording myself! The community so far has been very nice and welcoming and I really appreciate it thank you for these tips my friend 😁

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SunshineGarden-9B]

[@ChiBright]

I’m so glad I came across this post. It’s time to start creating my own content without breaking a bank 🤩

[@MrPaulXavier]

You got this!

[@loyceschoices8658]

@@MrPaulXavier I hope so as Im swamped by all the information and hoping you can provide links to your FB site AND 14 day smartphone filmmaker course. Im a Senior/Senior needing a boost so I can Navigate through this maze with minimum frustration.

[@mullerbtw]

on android (at least with samsung) you can mirror your screen through smart view :)

[@meditationmusicau]

This is so amazing. As a rookie to content creation, you answered all my concerns. thanks bro.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Happy to help!

[@EuJogonoGol]

Incredible vídeo man, I 've just subscribed..am I the only who don't like this cinematic future? For me is too much artificial..would be nice if you show the best quality on manual using the filmic pro

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thanks! Its definitely not perfect but I do think it’s usable and really helpful for people creating online content for social and YT - but definitely still comes down to preference! The biggest thing for me is it doesn’t really nail skin tones just yet

[@robertllawrencejr5503]

Thanks for your video. Really great information. In the filming of this video, when filing yourself, did you use the front or rear facing camera?
