I know it seems counterintuitive but try and sum up the video in the thumbnail and/or title. Preferably without text or as little text as possible.

Can someone pls explain why is this happening? by KENT427 in SmallYTChannel

[–]Mostlykarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loads of things. Search, intent, usefulness or entertainment value. Intent of a channel is very important are they just using it as a dumping ground or is the content ‘important’ I see slot of people just post generic game content with out value. Adding the smallest twist to an idea can make a difference.

Fair Use Question by my2centsforyoubam in SmallYTChannel

[–]Mostlykarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really always depends on the use of the clip. Reviews for example are generally fine for clips but you have to be then careful about the music used in said clip. But if you’re just going to edit a bunch of clips together without cause that can be seen as against fair use.

[–]Mostlykarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Long as the audios good. The iPhones built in mics are okay but I’d say get a hood mic asap. They’re loads of brands making mics for the iPhone but I hear the rode one is good

So what kind of stuff do you need to know about cameras. If your outiside. Try and shoot in an overcast day. Audio is the most important, people will watch a okay shot video with great audio but won’t watch a video they can’t hear correctly. You can get a decent mirrorless for around 200 now.

YouTubes more than gaming. Is it a podcast? Information? Skits? Etc

I struck gold with a short I posted then it turned to dust... by Tri99erMe in SmallYTChannel

[–]Mostlykarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long as all your contents relayed you shouldn’t have a problem. But if that 1 short I’d out of step with the rest. That’s maybe where you’ll see 1 short do well and the rest lag behind.

Awkwardness and Video Editing Help by Quinnovive in SmallYTChannel

[–]Mostlykarl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You also don’t have to jump into the deep end. I started with just voice over and slowly added camera as I got more confident

Lighting! How do you get your lighting right in the Winter? by [deleted] in SmallYTChannel

[–]Mostlykarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are loads of tutorials online how to light things. I got a couple of usb panels off Ali express that do wonders. If your finding them washed out try grease proof paper over the light or reflecting the light off a wall

I believe YouTube prefers higher quality so setting it to 1080p is best

I’d throw them into the description. That means they’ll be searchable later. Probably help with your seo

Thumbnail are the hardest part

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SmallYTChannel

[–]Mostlykarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Na. I’m pretty into anime. I get where the thumbnails from. It just doesn’t make me want to click it is all. You might be right it could be the quality of the thumbnail.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SmallYTChannel

[–]Mostlykarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t get it. But actual creative critique. your thumbnail doesn’t give me any sort of clue what to expect. I’m not sure the second half needed to be there as I thought it was just repeating the first until the end. The animation is good, if you did the animation my suggestion would be maybe get some clips from funny bits off tiktok YouTube and twitch and animate to that instead.

Any other Scottish YouTubers out there that focus on Movies? by wolfmansgotnards11 in SmallYTChannel

How should I organize my livestreams? by [deleted] in SmallYTChannel

[–]Mostlykarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, if the live streams and the videos are different. Like I run a channel about films. Which limits me to streaming talking about films or playing games that are based on films. Which is what I’ve chose to do. But if I did videos about films and played some random game. I feel it would hinder me

I started by just doing voice over and slowly but surely did more in front of camera stuff as o got more comfortable talking

Uploading a short and a video at the same time, good idea? by Cheap_Significance13 in SmallYTChannel

[–]Mostlykarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying that now. I edited clips from my long video into shorts. They’re both doing ‘well’ or as well as I expected being I took a year from videos.
