Stop Overthinking: How to FINALLY Start Making YouTube Videos

[@lilafromyoutube]

What is holding you back from making videos? Drop a comment and I’ll try to give some advice 🫶

[@omafume]

Needed to watch this! my biggest problem with starting on youtube and content creation in general is that i don't know which of my interests to talk about, i love fashion but i also love filmmaking, i really want to make cinematic type content but i also still wanna talk about fashion, so i dont know what to do and end up just doing nothing!

[@SamFigueroa]

You, Peters; Lindgren, and McKinnon smashing my motivation into high gear today.

[@Naswillshine]

Right!

[@livingmypurpose74]

My friend in her fifties recently started a youtube channel on frugal living with just her mobile, an ambitful al-50 light and softbox that cost £50, qhot wireless mic that cost £23 and edits in videoguru. I recently gave her my old go pro 12 she now uses. She loves it and its given her a new passion. Meanwhile ive always wanted to make a photography channel, have a canon r5, pocket 3, dji mic 2 and all the efiting software yet havent done anything. Mainly thanks to the overloqd of my day job but still. Shows it doesnt matter what your age or gear is, she did it and I didn't. Motivation and drive matter way more. Really great video, would love to see your editing process. Subscribed to watch more. Keep it up!

[@lilafromyoutube]

Nice to meet you! And you make a great point. Sometimes knowing your craft (like film or photography in this case) can really slow you down because the more you know, the more you can perfect. It’s a curse at times haha! I hope you join your friend some day and start making videos :)

[@Manhattan_Pretty]

Totally Subscribed ❤ because as a new KZbinr learning to edit.. what you mentioned about waiting a day before posting is gold. I always get caught up in wanting to post my videos as soon as I'm done and it never fails that I always have a mistake in them. Most of the time I never catch it until after I upload it. You know your stuff. Everything in this video is important. You said a lot of good stuff

[@AndreSjoberg]

Having done almost none of these things other than building my own keylight/lightbox and still managed to grow to 600+ subs and 2000 watch time hours in 8 months I’m pretty sure following most of these tips to get going would have resulted in even better things and faster results ;) The most important part for me, like you said, was just starting to film, and then figuring it out - and by filming I quickly figured out how *not* to do things, which makes it even easier to figure out *what* to actually do, and what works :) The thing that really made «script writing» go fast was just rambling about a topic into my voice recorder app on the phone, transcribe those ramblings and ask chatgpt to make a bullet point list (script outline) of that transcription and using that as a starting point, adding my own flair, and then just record and wing it, not *great* results but good enough for people to find some value in the videos :)

[@lilafromyoutube]

Figuring out what not to do is key haha! I like the voice note > transcription > chatgpt workflow! Great idea.

[@AndreSjoberg]

@ Yeah figuring out what’s not important is like 90% of the work ;) Just look at a sound mixer for bands, knot what not to adjust is the most important skill ;) The voice memo transcript chatgpt workflow is surprisingly efficient, so making a video on it in the coming month now that things get a little quiet around christmas :)

[@revdancatt]

Last two minutes are pure gold. - Would love to see a mini deep dive into your audio levels, what you set your voice at and how low (and why) you set the background music at different points. On YT I see lots of videos about lighting & gear, but ended up yolo-ing voice at -6 and music bed at -18 to -30, but no idea if gut instinct is right, wrong or I’m missing a trick.

[@lilafromyoutube]

honestly I just mix it by ear / gut, so thank you for validating my mixing is good hahaha. I can probably make a video on that!

[@revdancatt]

@@lilafromyoutube ear/gut it is then, kinda reassuring in a way... but... would be nice to see someone science the fuck out of it.

[@StefanoLombardoYT]

Excellent video with so much value Lila 🔥

[@lilafromyoutube]

Thanks Stefano!!

[@UnixGuy]

Awesome video. Well done!

[@lilafromyoutube]

Thanks so much!

[@Manhattan_Pretty]

Making videos for fun and the beginning is a great tip that I'm glad you mentioned some of the stuff I know, but I didn't know it was a tip. Especially how you just said posting at anytime is great, bc time doesn't matter. I figured that out and it is so soothing to my development process to know I can post whenever I can. But not in a lazy way just in a way in the way like how you said it that the algorithm doesn't matter

[@codeandcomponents]

what a lovely supportive message, full of great advice, it's too easy to get caught on all the aspects you mention, but forming a practice of making videos is what it's all about, driven by the passion for the subject matter as you say - thank you!

[@lilafromyoutube]

This!!

[@lettochfilms]

Mostly fear of not being as good as all these amazing KZbinrs I follow, like you, Peter Mckinnon, Philip Bloom, Levi Allan, Chris Brockhurst etc. Yes, fear of not being that good. But really enjoyed watching this video. Couldn't agree more. Just make a video. Trying to make the perfect video every time will stop you (me) from making one at all (speaking from experience). Make a video, enjoy it, learn from it. The next one will be better. What doesn't make me better is not making videos. Thank you so much for the reminder and for the inspiration. Great to see you back when you started and now. It means we all can progress, if we just make videos. Example - I bought the Weebil S gimbal 5 years ago. I never used it. Too scared, too hesitant, too worried about failing. Recently I was forced by some client work to learn how to use it. It was easy and wow it was great to use. Fear removed. Now it will get many more airings, even though it's 5 years old. Bonkers right! Anyway, thanks again. Feel the fear and do it anyway..........great title for a book!!!

[@lilafromyoutube]

I totally get that it can be an intimidating space to enter, but go watch some of our videos back. We were not as good as we are now (and in years from now we will be better than now) haha. It’s an ongoing process, we all grow and evolve. You can’t compare your chapter 1 to someone’s chapter 20. Don’t aim to make the perfect video, aim to make a video! I’m glad to read you used the gimbal and it wasn’t as intimidating as you thought at first. Same goes for videos, so go apply that experience to making videos :) you got this

[@SantosChronicles]

Oh man, almost 200K! Hope you have a big celebration planned. Starting to dip my toes with Adobe (Adobe Express) and Sony (Sony ZV-1 M2) thanks to you. Love how you can speak to the viewer without all the fancy jargon. You are such a great motivator! Another great video.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Hiiii! Yes I can’t believe we’re so close. Maybe at new years we’ll reach 200k?!

[@Robertmichael95]

Dont know if your going to see this comment but just want to thank you lila because three years ago one of your lighting videos actually helped me cool to see your still going and helping others this is a channel worth watching informative helpful and person who passionate and dedicated about what they do

[@lilafromyoutube]

Aw thank you so much! I’m happy to hear that and I’m glad my video helped! Cool to see you’re still around on the channel :) thnx for the support

[@BrianMakesFilms]

I honestly think the worst thing that happened to me since I started making videos was getting sucked down the "how to succeed at KZbin" rabbit hole and stressing about metrics. It killed a lot of joy and stops me from making videos I want to make sometimes because they probably "won't do well". Even though I'm far from starting (been making videos since 2019), this is a good reminder to just have fun with it and not try to play to an algorithm. And what you say about a setup changing constantly is so true. I'm always switching things up - big or small - in my setup. Trying different backgrounds, lenses, etc. Never ending evolution. And the Shure MV7 is a great mic (think that's the one you mentioned.) I've got one and it does amazing at cutting out background noise and removing the room echo.

[@lilafromyoutube]

this is exactly why I wanted to make this video. Sometimes I feel like I’m debby downer by being like “NOTHING MATTERS” but I think it’s really liberating when you realise nothing matters and no one cares (yet). Yes I love this microphone!

[@knowonco]

I started my new channel for funsies two weeks ago after announcing that I was going solo freelance after leaving a production company I founded and I’ve already gotten stuck in my head about what should I make videos about and how I can improve my set up to film in my house. I feel like this video came at the right time. Thank you!

[@lilafromyoutube]

I’m so glad! I hope it’s allowed you to let go a little and just get on with it. I know it’s so easy to get stuck because there are so many creative decisions to make, but at some point you just gotta say fuck everything and go for it :)

[@yugenverse]

Thank you Lila! You’re right - if we’re excited just do it!!!

[@lilafromyoutube]

Yesss!!! Have you done it yet?

[@KaLokHong]

Filming is relatively easy these days, but editing always takes so long even though I have been doing a while. I also recently traveled to Japan and right now editing the travel food vlogs, I could only finish one per week with a day time full time job. Love your videos as always!

[@lilafromyoutube]

One video a week with a full time job is impressive honestly!

[@DP11LLP]

I started a KZbin channel a couple of years ago now, and just love the editing process and having great satisfaction watching the finished video, even tho my videos are terrible i still have a lot to learn. Thanks for the tips

[@lilafromyoutube]

That’s the most important. I’m spending quite some time on a project because im enjoying it so much :)

[@przemekk_s]

YES PLEASE make full, very loooong in-depth video on your work flow

[@lilafromyoutube]

ITS GONNA BE SO BORING THOUGH!!

[@chizaa8]

Perfect timing, I’m just starting a new channel after stopping 3 years ago. So grateful for all of the help your videos have given me!

[@lilafromyoutube]

Oh that’s exciting! What’s the new channel going to be about?

[@chizaa8]

@ A mix of things I’m interested in, kind of a way for me to try a bunch of things I want to do. @BecauseItsRad is the channel - why am I making a video about this or that? Because it’s rad 😂😅 A hobby project for now but we’ll see how it goes! Thanks for asking 😊

[@lilafromyoutube]

Sounds like you’ll have a great time!!

[@victorshane4134]

15-18 years ago I was in the same mindset when it comes to KZbin Videos. At the time I've done a lot of Minecraft videos and suffered from Family issues mainly and the people around me... I uploaded videos on my native language, Hungarian and never wanted to do it full time just for fun. I regret the moment when I deleted the whole channel. Now I'm 31 and looking towards restarting everything but now I don't really have much free time. Idk why, but felt like I have to tell the short story :)

[@nathanrodrigues6530]

I went into a burnout for about 2 years, I ended up selling all pretty much all of my gear, and now I'm down to get back to business, looking for new camera... This kind videos are making me want to get ASAP even tho I don't have my camera yet, thanks for sharing this video 🙏

[@pcoussa]

Yeah that would be good Lila of you can show workflow

[@adamdanks18]

Great advice!! For so long I was trying to figure out in my head how to start and what to start with and then I finally realized that 9 times out of 10 your first videos are gonna be bad anyways so just put videos out there and learn from them and grow from them and then go from there!!

[@lilafromyoutube]

Thank you, I'm glad this has popped up in my feed, this most real video to see!

[@lilafromyoutube]

thank you so much 😊 are you planning to start making videos?

[@lukeemeredith]

@ I am indeed

[@leo_hoang]

I am currently in my “it doesn’t matter stage” - I’ve had some videos do well, others not so well, but I’m not making money from it so just doing it as a hobby to share some thoughts on all things tech… but I am very keen to upgrade my setup for a better overall look… it’s tough as I live in a small space with my gf so I don’t want to dominate the space too much…

[@lilafromyoutube]

Understandable! Have you seen my video where I do a tiny bedroom setup? It’s fairly simple but you can add to it depending on your space and resources :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/lauUdKxnd7SKd5Ysi=Y_wD25B8Q5VEHckm

[@leo_hoang]

@ giving it a view now… I have an idea of what I want tbf, I just either need to get the additional bits or try integrate it within our living room… my biggest hurdle I’d say is that I want it to remain set up to minimise that creation friction, and I also want the A-Cam to serve as my webcam also whilst I’m working. I don’t like the height on my A-Cam angle right now as it sits too high above my monitor… I am super picky about it but like you said in your video “it doesn’t matter” lol… so I’m just making videos anyway… I will have a think about what tips I can get from you in your other video 😉

[@BrandonBautista]

This is the video I needed right now, as I've been feeling super stuck. Perfect timing; thank you!

[@DPCTechnology]

[@lilafromyoutube]

🙏🙏🙏

[@MaximoJoshua]

my one and only question is "Which channel should you upload to?" Should you just use your main account (the one you log into youtube when you are watching) where you posted random clips and drone footage? should you start a new fresh channel just for videos you want to create? I would love to see the full breakdown, but that is my current blocker...where do you upload the video to?

[@lilafromyoutube]

What’s your goal?

[@MaximoJoshua]

@ monetize a channel, build a community, get better at making videos…the advice is usually just do it, and i get that, but how to do it? Especially, because in order to last, you have to enjoy it, and i want to create a repeatable process for video creation. Do most people just use their main google account or something?

[@lilafromyoutube]

depends. For security reasons I would suggest to create a separate account that you don’t use for anything besides your channel.

[@MaximoJoshua]

@ yeah that makes sense, but no one typically tells you how to choose a name, etc. So, I get I’m probably just procrastinating, but I would love any advice on the nuts and bolts of getting started. Like from a KZbin organizational and set up perspective. Thanks for responding to that question, I appreciate it.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Honestly. Just make videos. I get your question but like I’ve said a million times in my video - it doesn’t matter. You’ll learn as you go

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

*I started in 2006 Basically when KZbin started and I haven't stopped YET. I have Bucket List One being attending Sony Camp and reaching over 5K which I have and now I'm aiming for 5.5K & your Videos have helped me along the journey and I'll continue too watch and Like and Comment on your videos*

I have videos on this so let me know if you can’t figure it out and I’ll link a video. But short answer: make sure your video track (e.g. v1) is selected. This video shows how to do it for audio but same applies for video kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHfCfpewir2IiKMsi=Uhqf3jaXH-YOwX0b

[@TechDuke]

Should you write down anything except the idea it self? Debating this with myself, but I feel like when I sit down and start writing the script and making shot list, screenshots, etc. i completely lose focus and energy.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Then don’t do that! Do whatever works for you. I like to write down a bit more because I ramble so much and go off track if I don’t hahaha. I also am really forgetful, so if I have a list, I can remind myself what I’m talking about and should be talking about. But I personally don’t write a shotlist until after I’ve filmed the talking head.

[@chris_sparrows]

What I wish I knew starting out is that, while I had a lot of video production experience already, I was still a beginner when it came to being *on* camera.

[@lilafromyoutube]

oh yeah being on camera is a skill! Hahaha I was actually shocked to see my old video because I didn’t think I’d grown so much

[@justoalejandrogonzalez5097]

Hi there, I'm back after a long time. Great video. First of all, vote yes to the full in depth to the filming process. =) In 2018 I've thought of starting a science youtube channel and overthinked way too much for years and never done it. I'm thinking moving to politics, economics and overall, environment. Sometimes I really hate myself for not having started yet, specially considering that by now I'd had like... 6 years of experience, damn it. Whatever, random quesstion: you were from... netherlands? If so, can we hear you speaking in your native language? Thanks.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Don’t hate yourself for having started. Just start now! Don’t waste another 6 years

[@junangeles]

Thanks for this inspiring and motivating video. I hope you can share in a video how you create your scripts or storyboard for your videos. I’ll be glad to watch however long it is. Thank you

[@lilafromyoutube]

great idea! I usually just braindrump my thoughts and then structure it, because I am notorious for rambling and going off course haha. I don’t have a proper script I follow, just points to keep me on track. I don’t storyboard for my tutorials. For the series I filmed, I did no pre-production work at all. It was very unplanned. But in the editing and organisation process is when I am storyboarding a bit to get a good overview of the storylines and structure! I’ll make a video on that once the series is done

[@junangeles]

@ thanks for the detailed reply! Good to know I’m not the only one who’s out of place. One reason I haven’t uploaded much is that I tend to overthink and wanted to get each step organized, but then I get tired planning to never doing it.

You’re wrong about niche not mattering. I have a 180k+ subscriber channel that basically burned into nothingness because the audience is split. Conversely this channel “Skapo” where my theme is monolithic (cool skateboarding), gets more views at 1/10th the subscriber base because it has a more on theme audience. It ABSOLUTELY matters.

[@lilafromyoutube]

I think you missed the point of the video entirely. This video is about finally STARTING to make videos, you’re clearly way farther in that journey. When you’re just starting out, it doesn’t matter, especially not when it’s something you overthink and holds you back.
