In my opinion, your simple explanation of how to succeed with RUclips, is probably the best advice I've seen of all! You Tube on, You Tuber!! HAVE A GOOD DAY,
It took me like 2 days to get this layout. I only have 7 subscribers.. only have like 30 views but it doesnt stop me doing what i love to do! I keep on going and maybe one day I get my first 100 subscribers.. It doesnt bother me to stop doing what I love to do.
Well it looks like you uploaded your first video TODAY! :) The more videos you upload, the more subscribers you will get. When I started this channel, I would get about 1 subscriber a day. That kept happening for the first few months, and I kept uploading videos -- at least once a week. Now I have over 30,000 subs. So just stick with it, and keep making videos!
Thank you Bret! I'm going to start making math, physics, and possibly some chemistry videos. Anyone seeing this comment please feel free to start making suggestions lol.
You're welcome! If you want more advice on making RUclips videos, I've got some other helpful tutorial videos on my channel. I'm also starting a 3-week workshop where I show you everything I know about making videos. (The link is in the description!)
Brett, Thank you for putting this together. I have felt overwhelmed with just the thought of starting a RUclips channel but you make it so simple. You broke it down into small chunks and you didn't move so fast that I had to constantly pause and replay throughout the entire video. I think that sometimes instructors are so comfortable with their material that they forget to slow it down for those of us that are trying to learn a "new thing". Thanks
I'm just a dude passing by, trying to figure out how the hell I'd make a RUclips video if I get around to it, and I just have a question-- if anyone can, what are some recording recommendations for stopmotions/animations for a Samsung phone?
Did you ever get an answer about using the Samsung Phone? I see where you said Thanks! but I don't see a reply to your question. I would think you could because it records videos.
Making videos is easy. Making good quality videos people want to stick around and watch is the key. I've been trying to work on audience retention. Thanks for sharing this video! Always trying to learn from the masters 😍
Well, when I search for "James Harness", I find a lot of videos about the guy from the TV show "Gold Rush", but I don't see your channel. I think it would be easier to be able to tell people "just go to tinyurl.com/JamesHarness". But that may not be the best solution for everybody. It was just a suggestion!
I can see your channel if I just click on your profile picture (next to your comment)! To upload from a phone, you need the RUclips app. But to upload from a computer (laptop) you can just click the "Upload" button in the upper right. Enjoy making videos!
Cool. You can upload videos to RUclips and mark them as "Private" if you want to. If you do that, nobody can watch them unless you list their RUclips channel name. Another option is to upload them to RUclips and mark them as "Unlisted". That means that people who have the web address for the video can watch it, but nobody else can (except you).
Hey creators, need your help. I have about 15 different events shot that are just little clips (3 to 90 seconds long). E.g. We went to europe for holidays and I have a bunch of little clips I want to make into a story. Any suggestions in how I can make this into a nice story or examples where similar videos exist. I don't wan't to cut the clips into some sort of a song and leave it at that. However, I am playing a bit with a voiceovers (a written script), ambient sounds etc. All of your suggestions are more than welcome! Thank you in advance people.
Edit the clips to cut out any parts that wouldn't interest a viewer. Then arrange the clips into a logical sequence. A voiceover would probably be appropriate, as would some background music. But make sure the music doesn't obscure your voice...keep it at a lower volume. A quick YT search for vacation videos should give you a general idea of what works. It sounds like you have editing software, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
First thing: people find new videos by searching. Make sure your video titles, descriptions, and tags are things that people might type into the search box. (I made a really helpful video on this! You can find it on my channel.) Second thing: in your video, ask people to comment, and ask them to subscribe. Third thing: when people comment, reply to them! Be nice! Be friendly! Be helpful! That has worked well for me. People like it when you reply to them, and they subscribe. :)
My video on "titles, descriptions and tags" explains it pretty well. The general concept is this: Think about what people would type into RUclips search when they're looking for a video like yours. If it's about washing a dog, they might type in "wash your dog" or "how to wash a dog" or "clean your pet". So you use those phrases as TAGS. You can also use 1 or 2 of the phrases as your video title. And in the video description, write a few sentence that include those phrases too, but don't just list those phrases because RUclips may remove your video.
Hi Brett thanks for your great answer!! Yes I follow you and your advice and I feel I need to watch more videos of you to learn about it....Thank you for your tips and enjoy life ! Anna
You are welcome! I have a LOT more videos with tips on making RUclips videos. Things like how to come up with good ideas for videos, how to be comfortable on camera, how to get more views and subscribers, etc.
You are very welcome! I'm really glad you liked it! Thank you for leaving a comment. If you want more RUclips tutorials, I have a lot more videos on my channel: how to be comfortable on camera, how to come up with good ideas for videos, how to get more views & subscribers, etc. :)
Thank you for the compliment! But when you record a video, you can only upload it to your own RUclips channel. You can't upload to someone else's RUclips channel. :(
Thank god you explained it very well I have seen may videos of famous know youtubers and they just said "u need these skills and hardware" but never showed the steps to creating a channel. After viewing 15 videos that were not helpful at all I found your video and I want to thank you for being real. Your awesome!
Wow, thank you for the comment! I have a bunch of other tutorial videos too, on specific topics: How to be comfortable on camera, how to come up with good ideas for videos, how to shoot a video with your phone, how to get more views and subscribers, etc. Plus I'm launching a SECRET PROJECT on December 7 that you would probably be interested in! So check out the announcement video I upload on December 7. :)
Just started my channel a week ago and I'm actually feeling confident about it (: really hope this turns out well. For me and the small youtubers out there!
Do you mean the "sign in" button? A lot of people ask about that. RUclips hides it if you are already signed in!! So just skip that step, because you're already signed in.
I watched your last 2 videos, and they were fine! You know exactly what you want to say, and you say it. You keep a smile on your face. That's better than a lot of new RUclipsrs! Just a few small tips: 1) Look at how other big RUclipsrs "frame" the shot. That means look at where their head is placed in the video. It may be to the left, or to the right, but their eyes are always towards the top of the frame. You can see some of their chest and shoulders, and the top of their head is right at the top of the frame. So do that in your videos. 2) Make sure to have something in the background. You shot one of your videos in front of a white wall, and you shouldn't do that. If it's a white background, at least have a closed door behind you. Or a bookcase, or a poster or picture, your bed, something like that. But keep making videos! Have fun, smile, and know what you want to tell everybody. You're doing fine! :D
I can't even learn lots of money from my channel, and I've been making videos for 10 years. You can probably make a little money, though. You need to set up AdSense, so that RUclips has a way to pay you. And then you need to let RUclips "monetize" your videos. That means they put ads on them. The more times the ad plays, the more money you make. Like I said, it's not very much money. But it's kind of nice to get it anyway.
I actually got to make money online easily thanks to *LIVEONLINEJOB. COM* They offer tons of easy online jobs where you can make some cash every day from home easily. Go check them out if interested. It’s free to join. Hope this helps
Thanks Brett! Your absolutely correct on how many videos are out in "You-Tube land",that state how to create a Channel. Yours is the best. It's concise and clear to understand about what your conveying. The other videos I saw, were fast talkers and with no direction.. So thanks again!!
Thank you very much for the compliment! :D If you want any more RUclips tips, there are plenty of other videos on my channel. I tried to put them in simple categories so people could find what's useful to them. :-)
Great video, and even greater tips delivered in the most interesting manner. Hoping to start an educational video channel, and this is the first video I could watch to the fullest given it was so engaging.
It was hard to do. I had to pay a friend to make the picture. Then, I had to get a song for my name. Then, I had to record the song, with 2-part harmony (2 people singing). Finally, I played the song while the picture was showing. An easier way to do it is to visit a channel like Velosofy. He gives away free channel intros.
Thanks for helping me learn how to make these videos really helped me a lot because my cousin and I never knew how to make a video ever since you made this video video
I am glad it helped! There are a lot of videos on my channel that will teach you different things. I also wrote a book about how to make videos. Just Google "make your own amazing youtube videos"!
Thank you to Brett, this was super helpful and easy to follow. I like your style. I am new to this but really passionate about a project and utube is the answer. I will need a lot of practice.
Fantastic! Making your first video (and then your second video) is the hardest part! There are a lot of other videos on my channel if you'd like some more advice: how to come up with good ideas for videos, how to be comfortable on camera, how to get more views & subscribers, etc. :)
How do you put two screens in the same shot, like , you could have yourself talking about the topic in the top right corner and have yourself recording something in front of you that takes up a majority of the screen shot. Thanks
Does anyone know how to put a video in files (documents) into the youtube editing area so I can work with it in my video? any help is really appreciated.
THank YOU! I have been trying to figure this out and get a start… This would be fun and now its not so scary. I use iMovie and have a camera, time to figure this out.
I used iMovie to edit this video! My version was old, but I remember liking it a lot. If you want more tips and advice, there are a whole lot more RUclips tutorial videos on my channel! :D
hey Brett, how do you make a video where the screen shows a photograph, while you narrate a story, with sound effects? Does that take special equipment? Thanx
So im trying to make like a video collab you bring up all the videos together and like cut scenes from each video and add it to one what app could I use?? I have a windows and its for like a game anniversery im doing for a friend. Thanks please respond!!!
You will need their videos, and a way to cut out the best parts, and a way to put all those best parts together. 1) If you download videos from RUclips, you can use KeepVid. It's a website. 2) To cut those videos up, and edit them together, you need video editing software. There are many programs available. ALL of them will be able to cut and edit videos the way you are describing. Find one that other people have liked, and make sure it fits in your price range. I currently use Adobe Premiere. In the past, I used iMovie, but that's only available for Apple devices. Good luck!
Hi Brett, How do you make a RUclips channel went the host for the channel are in different locations? We are in different states and are looking to start a video based show rather than a web radio show.
Thank you Joseph!!! If you're thinking about making videos, there are a lot of other tutorials on my channel. They're all informative and quick too! And they might be helpful to you. :)
How are RUclipsrs adding animated graphics and text? Do iMovie and Windows Movie Maker do this well? We're producing graphics in Adobe After Effects but it would be interesting to know how video bloggers without this software would add motion graphics - as After Effects is an on-going cost!
When I used iMovie, it came with free animations & titles formats & backgrounds. Also, I figured out ways to do some fun animation in it. I wish I knew more about Windows Movie Maker, but I've never used it. Currently (2016) I'm using Adobe Premiere, and I can do enough animations & special effects with it. I also have After Effects in case I need any really fancy effects, but I always seem to do them in Premiere.
Hi Brett! i was curious what camera should i use and what is the max i should spend on it? i plan on doig challenges with my friends so it might get messy. Thanks!!!
Hi! I agree with CharlesXavier: any SLR camera will make great RUclips videos. But you don't *need* to buy a camera. I sometimes shoot videos on my phone! They still look great! I made a video with 5 tips on how to shoot with a phone. It's on my channel, if you want to see it.
That's fantastic! Congratulations on starting to make videos! If you want some more RUclips tips, there are a lot of videos on my channel: how to come up with good ideas for videos, how to be comfortable on camera, how to get more views & subscribers, etc. :)
I think that is good! I made a video about shooting with a phone, and all those tricks apply to shooting with an iPad. It's on my channel, in one of the first "sections".
Ive had my current channel for a few years now but i only made it to save videos i like to watch. Am i able to use this one now that i want to start uploading videos for a channel or should i make a new one just for my "show"? also is there a free movie editor for windows? Im a single income mom with 2 kids and a disabled hubby. Not alot of leftover income after food and bills are paid. My channel is going to be showing how to make filling yummy meals that are easy to do and easy on the pocket book. Help! Please?
If you are UPLOADING other videos you like to watch, then start a new channel. But if you're just marking them as "favorite" or adding them to a playlist, then you could easily use this channel to upload your new videos. On windows computers, I think you have 2 free video editor options. Neither of them are that great. The first is Windows Movie Maker. I _think_ it still exists, and you can download it as part of windows. There are tutorials online. The second video editing option is the RUclips video editor! You upload your videos to RUclips as "PRIVATE" (and option while you're uploading), and then you can edit them into a new video and make it "PUBLIC". I've made more videos on my channel that will give you some helpful tips & tricks, like how to be comfortable on camera, how to shoot videos with a cell phone, and how to get more views and subscribers. Good luck and have fun!
ty! my new channel is going to be Momma Kate's Easy Meals :D i might have you come over and check it out when i get it up to make sure i got it correct :)
I'm glad this helped, Vanessa! I've got a bunch of other RUclips tutorial videos if you want more advice (how to come up with good video ideas, how to be comfortable on camera, how to increase your views and subscribers, etc.!).
HI Sebrina! I'm actually writing a book myself, and it will have a chapter on editing. But I don't know when it will come out; probably closer to the end of the year. But I think that editing is simpler than people say it is. Whatever editing program you use, you just need to know how to put your video(s) into it, how to "cut" your video (like cutting a piece of string into 2 pieces of string), how to delete bits of video that you don't like, and how to "export" your final video. That's all the technical stuff. The artistic/creative part is pretty simple too. Just cut out all the silences in your video, and cut out all the parts where you make a mistake. If you do that, your video will look and sound pretty good! I edit each shot pretty tightly; that is, if I want to have a shot of me saying something, I will cut off every little frame before the first sound comes out of my mouth, and I will cut off every frame after the last sound comes out of my mouth at the end of the shot. I should really make a video about this. I just haven't had the time! I'll do it some day. But don't wait for my video before you make your own video(s)! The most important thing on RUclips is just to upload a video, and then wait a few days or a week and upload another one. You have to upload every week to make your viewers happy. :)
You are welcome. :) A few days ago I finished writing the chapter about editing in my book, so the information was still fresh in my mind. Plus I'd just like everyone to know how to edit videos! It's intimidating to a lot of people.
A lot of people are confused by the same thing! The problem is -- you are ALREADY signed in. :) RUclips hides the "Sign In" button when you are already signed in. You can tell you're signed in if you see your profile picture or your name ("Family Buchanan-Smith"). Also, if you can comment on a video, that means you're signed in. If you want to see your RUclips channel, you can click or tap on your profile picture next to your comment.
I would take a screenshot / printscreen of that in the regular RUclips interface. Then each time you make a video, edit that screenshot into your video. You can also talk over it to make it more interesting for viewers if you want.
I sometimes shoot videos with my phone, and they look just as good as the ones I shoot with my video camera! If you can shoot during the day, then you can use sunlight coming through a window for your light -- or shoot outdoors -- and it will look fantastic. I made videos about shooting with a phone, and about shooting with daylight. Here are the links: ruclips.net/video/OPda7mPdRsU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/X9p88aSMymY/видео.html
It's a shame no one really effectively breaks this down. The only way to do it is trial and error. I have the content, I just don't have the basic skills required to make my videos. Very frustrating- but I will break through one day.
I have a book coming out in a few months that talks in detail about video production. The tentative title is "Make Your Own Amazing RUclips Videos". Hollan Publishing is releasing it. It might give you the information you're looking for. :)
Hello I want to create a RUclips channel, thank you for your video. What camera do you use? How do I make the videos looks clear like yours? And how do I edit the videos.
Rules of a successful channel

Well, when I search for "James Harness", I find a lot of videos about the guy from the TV show "Gold Rush", but I don't see your channel. I think it would be easier to be able to tell people "just go to tinyurl.com/JamesHarness". But that may not be the best solution for everybody. It was just a suggestion!

My vids are terrible :(
I watched your last 2 videos, and they were fine! You know exactly what you want to say, and you say it. You keep a smile on your face. That's better than a lot of new RUclipsrs!
Just a few small tips:
1) Look at how other big RUclipsrs "frame" the shot. That means look at where their head is placed in the video. It may be to the left, or to the right, but their eyes are always towards the top of the frame. You can see some of their chest and shoulders, and the top of their head is right at the top of the frame. So do that in your videos.
2) Make sure to have something in the background. You shot one of your videos in front of a white wall, and you shouldn't do that. If it's a white background, at least have a closed door behind you. Or a bookcase, or a poster or picture, your bed, something like that.
But keep making videos! Have fun, smile, and know what you want to tell everybody. You're doing fine! :D
CreatedByBrett do you think I can earn lots of money from my channel?
I can't even learn lots of money from my channel, and I've been making videos for 10 years. You can probably make a little money, though. You need to set up AdSense, so that RUclips has a way to pay you. And then you need to let RUclips "monetize" your videos. That means they put ads on them.

Thanks Brett! Your absolutely correct on how many videos are out in "You-Tube land",that state how to create a Channel. Yours is the best. It's concise and clear to understand about what your conveying. The other videos I saw, were fast talkers and with no direction.. So thanks again!!
Thank you very much for the compliment! :D If you want any more RUclips tips, there are plenty of other videos on my channel. I tried to put them in simple categories so people could find what's useful to them. :-)

You talk to much
Sly Fox yeah and you listen that’s why your here
Great video, and even greater tips delivered in the most interesting manner. Hoping to start an educational video channel, and this is the first video I could watch to the fullest given it was so engaging.
mr brett there is a video of logo in everyvideo of the channel how to create one?
It was hard to do. I had to pay a friend to make the picture. Then, I had to get a song for my name. Then, I had to record the song, with 2-part harmony (2 people singing). Finally, I played the song while the picture was showing.
An easier way to do it is to visit a channel like Velosofy. He gives away free channel intros.
Thank you!
Going to be making a channel soon, so excited!
Hey Brett - I love your animated video. Very interesting to look at and great information. Thanks for the How-To-Tips!!
Thanks for helping me learn how to make these videos really helped me a lot because my cousin and I never knew how to make a video ever since you made this video video
I am glad it helped! There are a lot of videos on my channel that will teach you different things. I also wrote a book about how to make videos. Just Google "make your own amazing youtube videos"!
Thank you to Brett, this was super helpful and easy to follow. I like your style. I am new to this but really passionate about a project and utube is the answer. I will need a lot of practice.
Fantastic! Making your first video (and then your second video) is the hardest part! There are a lot of other videos on my channel if you'd like some more advice: how to come up with good ideas for videos, how to be comfortable on camera, how to get more views & subscribers, etc. :)
way more "user friendly" than I expected, nice job.
Thank you
How do you put two screens in the same shot, like , you could have yourself talking about the topic in the top right corner and have yourself recording something in front of you that takes up a majority of the screen shot. Thanks
Erick do u do like drawing shells and making goo aswell
Does anyone know how to put a video in files (documents) into the youtube editing area so I can work with it in my video? any help is really appreciated.
THank YOU! I have been trying to figure this out and get a start… This would be fun and now its not so scary. I use iMovie and have a camera, time to figure this out.
I used iMovie to edit this video! My version was old, but I remember liking it a lot.
If you want more tips and advice, there are a whole lot more RUclips tutorial videos on my channel! :D
Merry Christmas Brett , and a Happy New Year!!! 🤗
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas to you too, and I hope that your 2017 is full of awesome surprises in your life! :D
Thank you for your advice, I'm working on my videos and getting better but my technical savvy is amusing to say the least :-)
Alright thank you you've been a good help your the first youtuber that actually responds to my comments thanks and I'll try your tips
Brett,
Thanks for the helpful video.
Do you suggest a GoPro type camera for making videos? If so, which one? If not, than what instead?
Thanks,
Jim
The most important rule is to love it and keep on making and uploading vids! Keep it up guys xx
you forgot to mention the most important thing of all, personality, and Brett personality you got it!
Learned some great things i can apply to my own! Thanks!
Fantastic! There are a lot of other helpful videos on my channel that will teach you more specific things. Check them out!
THIS IS THE QUICKEST BUT MOST RESCOURCEFUL VIDEO EVER......I'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO ANIMATE
I'm going to eat you =w= do what you with that sir...
+darc kat *what you will. my phones removes words.....
hey Brett, how do you make a video where the screen shows a photograph, while you narrate a story, with sound effects?
Does that take special equipment? Thanx
You deserve 1 big thumbs up,cheers. 👍
Thank you so much for all of this info!! I appreciate your help!! =)
So im trying to make like a video collab you bring up all the videos together and like cut scenes from each video and add it to one what app could I use?? I have a windows and its for like a game anniversery im doing for a friend. Thanks please respond!!!
You will need their videos, and a way to cut out the best parts, and a way to put all those best parts together.
1) If you download videos from RUclips, you can use KeepVid. It's a website.
2) To cut those videos up, and edit them together, you need video editing software. There are many programs available. ALL of them will be able to cut and edit videos the way you are describing. Find one that other people have liked, and make sure it fits in your price range. I currently use Adobe Premiere. In the past, I used iMovie, but that's only available for Apple devices.
Good luck!
Okay thanks!
How do we make a video with slideshows and edited-in text? And you spoke about cutting out the bad parts. What do you use to do all that?
Hi Brett, How do you make a RUclips channel went the host for the channel are in different locations? We are in different states and are looking to start a video based show rather than a web radio show.
Nice Video! kept my adrenaline rushing till the end!
I'm trying to film a video on youtube, my only problem is I haven't found a topic to cover yet.
This is great! Excellent info for an older beginner here! Thank you! 😄
Thank you for the tips :) I just subbed. I'm just starting my channel and find this video very helpful.
Good video!! Informative and quick
Thank you Joseph!!! If you're thinking about making videos, there are a lot of other tutorials on my channel. They're all informative and quick too! And they might be helpful to you. :)
But what if you don't have a sign in botton at the top right of your computer? Then what do you do?
How are RUclipsrs adding animated graphics and text? Do iMovie and Windows Movie Maker do this well?
We're producing graphics in Adobe After Effects but it would be interesting to know how video bloggers without this software would add motion graphics - as After Effects is an on-going cost!
When I used iMovie, it came with free animations & titles formats & backgrounds. Also, I figured out ways to do some fun animation in it. I wish I knew more about Windows Movie Maker, but I've never used it. Currently (2016) I'm using Adobe Premiere, and I can do enough animations & special effects with it. I also have After Effects in case I need any really fancy effects, but I always seem to do them in Premiere.
That's very interesting, and helpful. Thank you, Brett.
Hi Brett! i was curious what camera should i use and what is the max i should spend on it? i plan on doig challenges with my friends so it might get messy. Thanks!!!
hello.i am planing on having my own RUclips channel. please can you recommend Nikon D camera for shooting my videos and taking photos ?
any SLR camera is more than adequate to make youtube videos.
thank you so much. you're a good man.
np
Hi! I agree with CharlesXavier: any SLR camera will make great RUclips videos. But you don't *need* to buy a camera. I sometimes shoot videos on my phone! They still look great! I made a video with 5 tips on how to shoot with a phone. It's on my channel, if you want to see it.
im trying to get my nikon D3200 to film via USB and it's not supported :/
hawe do u make youtube videos
Ugh its hopeless ill Just Go back to the most underrated youtube channel ever :(
watching 4 years from now
hey Brett , which microphone and camera can i use ? i am using Nikon cool pix HD camera . is it ok
Thanks for the hints can't wait to do videos
Super cool, Stephen!!
I see this comment is from 4 days ago. Are you still making your video?
If your on Xbox like me, you have Upload Studio to make the "Parts" of a video
Great energy on your video, enjoyed it and very informative. Thank you.
Awesome video! I am going to make a channel and this is very helpful. Thank you.
That's fantastic! Congratulations on starting to make videos!
If you want some more RUclips tips, there are a lot of videos on my channel: how to come up with good ideas for videos, how to be comfortable on camera, how to get more views & subscribers, etc. :)
thx now i can make youtube vids
Is recording with an iPad good as well?
I think that is good! I made a video about shooting with a phone, and all those tricks apply to shooting with an iPad. It's on my channel, in one of the first "sections".
6. Make an intro
7. Comment on your videos
8. Make an Outro
9. Have a Schedule
10. Make your Voice exciting
Ive had my current channel for a few years now but i only made it to save videos i like to watch. Am i able to use this one now that i want to start uploading videos for a channel or should i make a new one just for my "show"? also is there a free movie editor for windows? Im a single income mom with 2 kids and a disabled hubby. Not alot of leftover income after food and bills are paid. My channel is going to be showing how to make filling yummy meals that are easy to do and easy on the pocket book. Help! Please?
If you are UPLOADING other videos you like to watch, then start a new channel. But if you're just marking them as "favorite" or adding them to a playlist, then you could easily use this channel to upload your new videos.
On windows computers, I think you have 2 free video editor options. Neither of them are that great. The first is Windows Movie Maker. I _think_ it still exists, and you can download it as part of windows. There are tutorials online. The second video editing option is the RUclips video editor! You upload your videos to RUclips as "PRIVATE" (and option while you're uploading), and then you can edit them into a new video and make it "PUBLIC".
I've made more videos on my channel that will give you some helpful tips & tricks, like how to be comfortable on camera, how to shoot videos with a cell phone, and how to get more views and subscribers.
Good luck and have fun!
ty! my new channel is going to be Momma Kate's Easy Meals :D i might have you come over and check it out when i get it up to make sure i got it correct :)
I got a problem. I uploaded my videos on my channel and the problem is that vidoe didnt came out to the content on my channel. How to solve? Help me
Hi, thanks for this video, really simple and easy to follow...can I ask, was this done on i Movie? I dont know which software to go for? Thanks again.
thank you...starting my channel soon stay tuned guys!
I'm glad this helped, Vanessa! I've got a bunch of other RUclips tutorial videos if you want more advice (how to come up with good video ideas, how to be comfortable on camera, how to increase your views and subscribers, etc.!).
I keep hearing that editing is a total nightmare. . is that true? Should I buy a book for learning to edit?
HI Sebrina! I'm actually writing a book myself, and it will have a chapter on editing. But I don't know when it will come out; probably closer to the end of the year.
But I think that editing is simpler than people say it is. Whatever editing program you use, you just need to know how to put your video(s) into it, how to "cut" your video (like cutting a piece of string into 2 pieces of string), how to delete bits of video that you don't like, and how to "export" your final video. That's all the technical stuff.
The artistic/creative part is pretty simple too. Just cut out all the silences in your video, and cut out all the parts where you make a mistake.
If you do that, your video will look and sound pretty good! I edit each shot pretty tightly; that is, if I want to have a shot of me saying something, I will cut off every little frame before the first sound comes out of my mouth, and I will cut off every frame after the last sound comes out of my mouth at the end of the shot.
I should really make a video about this. I just haven't had the time! I'll do it some day. But don't wait for my video before you make your own video(s)! The most important thing on RUclips is just to upload a video, and then wait a few days or a week and upload another one. You have to upload every week to make your viewers happy. :)
WOW!! Thank you so much for your advice! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply back to me about my question and so quickly too!! =)
You are welcome. :) A few days ago I finished writing the chapter about editing in my book, so the information was still fresh in my mind. Plus I'd just like everyone to know how to edit videos! It's intimidating to a lot of people.
CreatedByBrett =)
Love your tutorials! Thanks for help! :D
Thank you very very much! My other tutorials are better than this, in my opinion. ;-)
No problem! :D
Also i subscribed to your channel and post notifications!
on :D
Brett I've got a chrome BUTT I CAN'T FIND THE SIGN IN BUTTON! Can you even do it on a chrome book? PLEASE HELP!
A lot of people are confused by the same thing! The problem is -- you are ALREADY signed in. :) RUclips hides the "Sign In" button when you are already signed in.
You can tell you're signed in if you see your profile picture or your name ("Family Buchanan-Smith"). Also, if you can comment on a video, that means you're signed in.
If you want to see your RUclips channel, you can click or tap on your profile picture next to your comment.
hey how do u make the subscribe screen? on a vid?
I would take a screenshot / printscreen of that in the regular RUclips interface. Then each time you make a video, edit that screenshot into your video. You can also talk over it to make it more interesting for viewers if you want.
Ajay gravely Hey can you subscribe to my channel and i subscribe back please and leave a comment
Great stuff, very entertaining. How do you create a live stream youtube channel? Mike
Thanks Mike! Unfortunately, I don't know about live-streaming on RUclips. Never done it.
I'd like to know HOW to use a camera or lights to shoot my video. I know these things are available, but what kind of cameras and lights??? Thanks!
I sometimes shoot videos with my phone, and they look just as good as the ones I shoot with my video camera! If you can shoot during the day, then you can use sunlight coming through a window for your light -- or shoot outdoors -- and it will look fantastic. I made videos about shooting with a phone, and about shooting with daylight. Here are the links:

I now read all your book how to make AMAZING videos for youtube. (Sorry for my English)
What happened to you? After 2016 we nevet saw your videos. Hope you are fine.
CreatedByBrett what app do you use to edit your videos also, will you make a video all about editing? please?
Thanks for showing me and everyone cuz I'm going to start a channel
Where do you get thoes gaming cameras? 🎥 📷
It's a shame no one really effectively breaks this down. The only way to do it is trial and error. I have the content, I just don't have the basic skills required to make my videos. Very frustrating- but I will break through one day.
I have a book coming out in a few months that talks in detail about video production. The tentative title is "Make Your Own Amazing RUclips Videos". Hollan Publishing is releasing it. It might give you the information you're looking for. :)
Brett, if you're addressing the comment to me, thank you for that. Few things in life are more complicated than simplicity.
Hello I want to create a RUclips channel, thank you for your video. What camera do you use? How do I make the videos looks clear like yours? And how do I edit the videos.
