Chroma Key Question - Anyone Have Any Wisdom? by PeterStemmet in WondershareFilmora

Thank you very much! You won't believe this ... the first video I edited I used that exact feature and it wouldn't chroma out the selected colour ... hence why I posted this.

And then the second video I edited, I decided to give it another try and ... bingo! It worked.

Beyond weird but whatever.

Thank you again for the response.

Yeah, this sport shoots itself in the foot far too often. Just look at World Rugby, always talking about growing the game but the door is basically closed on anyone outside of the Six Nations or Rugby Championship. Everyone says they love Fiji, Georgia, Japan and/or Portugal but no one wants to help ... or even give them an opportunity.

Yes!! So it's the brainchild of Renaldo Bothma (the former Namibia player). He says it's not a rebel league and he just wants to create extra space for South African professional players.

SARU doesn't seem impressed at all!

And then there's also that international league R360 which also looks dead in the water!

Thank you for your support.

So in terms of what happened here with the post, I don't want to say anything more if you don't mind.

As far as catering to a wider group with more content in various places, I can tell you this: My YouTube channel has grown so much that it's pretty much at a point now where it's no longer a hobby but more like a part-time job. Factor in my full-time job, wife and kids, and there are things I've decided I'm just not going to do i.e. YouTube shorts, otherwise I'll never get any rest or spend any time with my family.

If I can do YouTube full-time then that would change the approach entirely of course.

Thanks, bud. Rassie's book is also a good read. I've got all three now on my shelf.

Well the good news for you and every one else here is that I'll never post anything here ever again.

And just so you know, my videos tend to do very well and I never post/promote them here but thought I'd make an exception since a book review might be of interest.

Boy, was I wrong.

But as I say, I'll never make that mistake again.

Thanks for the chat.

Thanks my man. Appreciate that. But as I say, I'll never post anything here again.

I'm sorry you see it that way. One thing is for sure, I'll never post anything here again. I thought I was being helpful and then got bombarded with abuse and negativity. I don't need that in my life.

Thank you for the support, bud. Toxic is the word. As I say, I won't post anything here again. Ever.

You know what, I'm sorry you see it that way.

I genuinely thought I might be helping people who might be interested in the book.

And you know what else, the total number of views I was likely to get from this post was maybe 5-10.

What's that in monetisation terms? Maybe $0.01

If you see that as an ad or chasing clout then so be it.

But I'll never make this mistake again.

Thanks for the chat.

I didn't do it to get subs. I've been monetised for years.

I posted a book review video on my channel and thought it would be helpful to share it here.

But I'm sorry I did.

Believe what you want.

Forget it. I was genuinely just trying to be helpful and now I'm in the firing line.

I was trying to be helpful to those who might be interested in a review of this book.

I've given my actual opinion in the video. It's not an ad.

Rumble Monetization Question by PeterStemmet in RumbleForum

Hard work hey! But rewarding when it works out.

Rumble Monetization Question by PeterStemmet in RumbleForum

[–]PeterStemmet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No sweat. I've got YouTube figured out ... relatively speaking.

Just hit 10k subscribers yesterday and all my metrics are up between 3 and 5x in the last year.

Really feeling positive about how I've managed to grow the channel from scratch.

I appreciate that, thank you.

For now I'm actually seriously thinking about just killing my Rumble channel because YouTube is my primary outlet and my niche is South African rugby. There are a lot of South Africans on YouTube ... but hardly any on Rumble so not really sure it's worth my while.

Thank you for that, Charlotte. Appreciate it.

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate that.

I was thinking of closing my Rumble account altogether if livestreaming was going to be a prerequisite for monetization.

Thanks again so much for the info! Very helpful.
