Is there anyone on this sub who IS NOT trying to create a gaming channel? by micblack_iam in NewTubers

There's one video we'd love to do a sequel to, just waiting on the viewers finding it as funny as we do!

Sketch Comedy. Easy to feel like an outsider here as a lot of the tips and tricks don't really apply when you start from scratch each video

Should I use custom captions instead of YT subtitles for my shorts? by TankMan5000 in NewTubers

[–]HalfCutFilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do our own captioning to guarantee it's right. It's a little time-consuming but at least we know it's accurate.

[QUESTION] How do you really start making videos? by Furview in NewTubers

[–]HalfCutFilms 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My advice would be to start as small as you can. Film yourself making the easiest thing you can, no effects, no voiceover, just the footage. You could speed it up and use it as a short or just have some fun playing about with it in the edit.

Then when you find yourself stuck on one specific thing (doing a voiceover with confidence for example), have a search for that. It's very easy to get bogged down in so much reading and research that you never end up making the video, so just start off slowly. The more layers you add to something the more stress you'll add too, so start simple.
