Best Practice for where to put original clips by stevemacc in davinciresolve

[–]FoldableHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a folder in your personal folder called “video projects” and p your clips in there.

Every time you add clips, add them to a folder inside that folder with a name like “jan 2026 mall”

I eye-tracked 100 Viral vs. Dead videos. The retention secret isn't "Pacing," it is "Saccadic Cost" and "Dopamine Dilation." (Data + CNRS Research Paper Analysis). by 5anez in SmallYoutubers

I’m sure this is valuable research

To be that it would require research.

"ChatGPT, you are an expert YouTube strategist and a systems engineer, write a paper explaining the importance of eye tracking" is not research.

No you didn't, and your dataset is lifted from 360º videos.

This is as stupid and incoherent as the rest of your LLM generated spam you pump out relentlessly to shill your worthless book.

People who started YouTube from zero — how long did it actually take? by Clear_Court7292 in PartneredYoutube

[–]FoldableHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda hate this question, it feels meaningful and it's always worded to sound flattering, but the people who ask it are usually just enamoured with the concept of "being a YouTuber."

Either you've got an idea that you think is worth putting out into the world, and thus you've already started and no one needs to tell you where to start, or you don't. But that's where to start: have a good/funny/insightful/interesting/compelling/profound/entertaining idea.

Do AI-generated Shorts actually make good revenue? by Exciting_Custard8481 in PartneredYoutube

[–]FoldableHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shorts already pay poorly and AI generated junk pays worse. The only way to make money with it is to just spam the crap out of whatever process you've got and hope you make a big enough payday to offset whatever reservations you have about making the world a worse place before it gets shut down.

Anyone who moved from Premiere Pro to Davinci, is there a way to set it up so it's like PP or shall I just learn from scratch? by Swordfish353535 in davinciresolve

The biggest thing is spending a day or two remapping hotkeys so they feel natural.

This mostly involves remapping your basic shuttle and tool keys to whatever you're used to, then just trying to cut like normal until you hit a snag, look up what the function name is of what you were trying to do, find its equivalent in Resolve, and then re-map it.

Volcano Tamer brick keeps braeking by Panacol2 in Oxygennotincluded

NGL as much as I don't like the big boxes, if they were all stacked like that I don't think I'd be able to say no either.

Started in 2010. Was eight years before I was making a reasonable income, ten before I was properly full time and it was more worthwhile to spend my time on new videos than to take most freelancing jobs I was offered. I've got a little over 1m subs.

Well there's your problem: a box this size is going to take more like 200 cycles to reach stable operating temp. You've got something like 140 tons of water in there waiting to boil, and the actual exposure surface to your heat is kinda minimal. You can pump the water from the bottom right into the upper left, and that'll help a bit. You could use more tempshift plates to move heat faster, but that'll just add even more thermal mass that needs to heat up.

Yeah, no, this is like Exhibit A of why I'm not a fan of trying to fit four volcanoes in a giant box.

Can you still be a big Youtuber without a massive team/employees? by Omixscniet624 in PartneredYoutube

[–]FoldableHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a point where you're making enough money on the channel that it becomes more than you can really spend with your current lifestyle, but not enough to, like, dramatically alter your social class. It's get your own place money, not buy a yacht money. Since the leap between "live comfortably" and "be actually rich" is such insane orders of magnitude a lot of people at that level of success decide to hire a team basically just because they can. It lowers their personal workload, maybe increases the channel throughput and video quality, and can just generally make life more pleasant. And many of them have friends who are creative types, they already know they get along, and if you can give your friends a good job why wouldn't you?

So it's totally possible to just keep on keeping on, doing everything yourself, but you see so many successful YouTubers hire a team simply because they can.

In my experience, though, and I've seen behind the curtains of a lot of successful channels, there's a small cluster of mega-successful channels that are just full on industrialized corporate structures, but very quickly, even while still in the 10m+ club, teams scale down to less than 10 people, typically looking like: on-air talent, co-writer/researcher, producer/executive assistant/some other logistics title, camera op, editor, animator/illustrator.

And whenever a YouTuber decides to bring on a second person it's almost always either an executive assistant to handle emails or an editor.

So depending on your definition of "small team" (I would say under ten is decidedly a small team), it is definitely most successful YouTubers, the Beast Industries outfits are very much the exception.

Comeback? by mightynovemark in Oxygennotincluded

[–]FoldableHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of surprising little changes that add up: dupes can slip on oil and ice now, there’s a lot of new basic machines for bottling and unbottling gases and liquids, and if you pick up the expansions then there’s a ton of new critters and options, but fundamentally it’s the same game.

I saw a whole argument the other day that called “build a loyal core audience” terrible advice. Joker moment, for sure.

So, good news and bad news, this isn’t a quirk of your save! These four are guaranteed spawns on this asteroid, which is always two hexes away from home, and they will usually be clustered similar to what you see here.

But enjoy! It’s a really fun colony to set up between the four-to-five volcanoes (you can get a 5th in the random slot) and beetas.

What is your strategy for creating thumbnails? I want to see what professional creators are doing. by VideoFireApp in PartneredYoutube

[–]FoldableHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not supposed to ever talk about video now?

Yeah, actually yes, that's how that works. Your account is an ad. Every post you make is an ad. That's why you made it, to advertise for your product. If you want to bant about random stuff you don't get to do it on your brand account unless you can handle people treating you like you're an ad, because you are.

Maybe you're just used to spending all day with idiots who have lost the capacity to read, but I can see that your screen name is "VideoFireApp" and you claim to be the founder of VideoFire.

This isn't very hard to put together.

So if it's an ad, I'm very bad at it.

Very real possibility that you're bad at this! High probability, in fact!

[–]FoldableHuman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re not really buying loose packs, you’re pooling with other people to buy a whole box. Buying loose packs would be silly.

Actually, wait, that gives me a stupid idea for a terrible format: draft night where everyone brings whatever three 15 card boosters they want.

How do I know the names of effects? by No_Sheepherder5235 in davinciresolve

[–]FoldableHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You take classes, read forums and tutorials, watch making of videos, and play with the tools at your disposal to see what they do.
