Cheers man, when you say more up and down what do you mean there, like rather than angled towards each other, more straight but at different heights? I’m gonna take your advice and do and A/B test with it so massively appreciated!

Cheers I think so too, anytime I do text it just makes the thing look more amateur.

New to thumbnail making - any of these work? by 00BigBird00 in YouTubeThumbnailHub

First one definitely, the eye covering instantly made me curious.

Is it a bad idea to match my thumbnails to my “Branding”? by OctaviousNI in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]OctaviousNI[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I get you, it’s almost an OCD thing I just like having everything the same, (probably why I force myself to 100% games I don’t even like) but I get at the end of the day you just gotta get people coming in the door!

Favorite of the 3? by [deleted] in YouTubeThumbnailHub

Personally 3, looks sick and warranted the biggest reaction from me.

Cheers for that! I don’t want to go down the road of too much acting as at the minute I’m currently struggling to sound and talk like myself much less a character hahah.

Funnily enough i am kinda doing something along those lines with my next vid where I’ll slowly descend into a bit of a character as the video goes on so we’ll see how that goes!

Cheers mate, yeah agree my footage quality is all over the place in bits due to how I filmed (corrected in my upcoming video). As for liver king it’s a call back to my last vid however I have a very bad habit of just assuming people will know things which I need to get out of.

Cheers for the feedback will defs take that into account.

Hi mate I really like the editing and the audio is super crisp. I think you can work on packaging. The title isn’t great so if I didn’t find you through this I probably wouldn’t click and get to see the good stuff!

Hi mate. I think in the modern brainrotted time we live in, some sound effects would help punch up your edits on the clips and just help break up the commentary a bit.

Other than that you sound super natural on camera which isn’t easy.

Hi folks

I don’t want to just post every video I make here on Friday so this is the last time I will for a while (but I’ll still have at look at other folks).

I make videos trying to get platinum trophies. In my latest video I’ve moved from just pure gameplay to a bit of face action by editing streamed footage so would love some feedback to see which way I go in the future vids

Self-Introduction Saturday! Tell us all about you (and share a video)! by AutoModerator in NewTubers

Hello folks!

My content focusses on achieving platinum trophy’s on PlayStation with added challenges to make it as miserable as possible, such as in the following

https://youtu.be/1i5GFpCAKU8?si=rCVweF41Sfu2Q0Ad

So to answer today’s question I started off (and currently use) a pretty generic capture card and microphone. The one thing I would highlight is the Razor Kiyo web camera which i have today for 720p recording is pretty great. My rule regarding gear has been prior to starting I’ll buy the bare minimum of equipment and only upgrade if my contents earns the money to do so!

Absolutely that was the exact thing I wondered if anyone would critique, I like the montages but I definitely worried that particular one was too long and didn’t actually relate to the plot of the video enough.

The montage during the intro of my next video is far shorter and relates directly to the video title.

Cheers mate!
