    FOR THOSE OF YOU WORRIED THAT YOU NEED TO USE VIDEO CHAPTERS IN YOUR THUMBNAILS FOR GOOGLE WATCH THIS ruclips.net/video/1HO6Y1Wwe_U/видео.html
    Google reads your videos, so it makes chapters based on what you say and the text used on screen too, the meta data is not the only way to have Google index you.

    Mate, if your retention graphs were based on my views they'd never veer away from 100%. Seriously! Every one of your videos I watch are jam packed with info, humour, and annoyingly well polished with relevant B-Roll. I say "annoyingly" because I know that's the level of effort I SHOULD go to, but know how much hard work it is. Kudos Ed. You frieakin' legend, you!

  • @gersonl
    @gersonl 3 года назад +13

    Yes, you can trim pieces of your video afterwards, but it will decrease the sharpness of your video dramatically. When you upload your high quality sharp video, youtube compresses it before it puts its online, losing a lot of image quality. If you're going to edit the video on youtube, it will re-render the video that is already there! It creates a new file with again a loss of image quality and shows that video instead on your channel. You can also revert back to your previous version if you don't like the new version.

    • @weeklyfascination
      @weeklyfascination Год назад +1

      It's also really tricky if you have music in the video. Almost every video I make has music, and if there's a low retention spot it's not always easy to cut out.
      Videos that are more conversational, no problem.

    Excellent, your channel has become, hands down, one of my favorites for creator content. Learning so much, thank you! I am a big fan of chapters because my goal has been to give the viewer what they want without having to scroll and search. I have a how-to based channel. I know retention is key regarding the algorithm, but I'm hoping this has helped please viewers enough to beat that retention issue . I need to study the analytics more to see if it's the case! I love your idea of playing with the chapter titles.. Will definitely give it a try. Thanks!

      Be careful. If I would read those labels “this might be for you” and such, I’d most likely just skip watching the whole video entirely because I know from experience people who do that either don’t have good advice, or stretch it out with too much filler and the tip itself feels under delivered (that is, doesn’t meet expectations) and is just a waste of time.
      I respect people that state all the “top 5” for instance at the beginning, then tells me to stick around to explain or describe it with detail, so I don’t waste my time.

    New subscriber here. Your videos have great new insights on a niche that is very competitive and is getting crowded. 👍 I take inspiration for my own niche from the lessons in your content, but also your content strategy where you go into more detail on important topics that your competitors don’t. You also don’t advertise your courses too hard which is great and less distracting. Keep it up!

    Awesome content. This entire channel is filled with fresh content for RUclips creators. Everything else on RUclips is Rinse & Repeat. Awesome to see the growth of your channel. Weird audio blurb @ 4:48
