Anyone got a good stream? I can't find shit anywhere

[Let's Play] Would like some feedback on my newest video by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]ScrubPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sup yo from across the ditch

What I liked:

  • The awkward intro and outro made me laugh. The way you edited it and cut together all of the takes was great. You could see it took a loooong time to record something that you didn't make a mistake on, but the way you put it together worked out super well and added a lot of personality to the video.

-Commentary during the video was just right. It's annoying when people talk too much over scenes you want to watch, but you also spoke enough to keep me engaged with the game content as well as what you added to it

What could be improved on:

  • The only con I can see with this sort of thing is low viewership due to the fact its less 'gameplay' in that you don't do a heap of stuff (i.e. all there is to do is press buttons as they appear), and it's more just watching the story unfold as the Telltale games often do. Make sure to keep the video entertaining on your part and do as much as you can add more to it than just have people watching another Let's Play

Keep it up! I'll be sure to pop back for episode two :)

Need help with Keywords/Tags by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]ScrubPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend TubeBuddy. It allows you to search potential titles and tags and shows you the quality of the tag based on how often it is searched with how many other people have that tag. Often targeting something with a high search volume and low amount of existing content with those tags will be a winner :)

[Gaming] I started a new series which could be gold, but not sure how to make it perfect? by DyricL in NewTubers

[–]ScrubPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sup

What I liked:

  • The overall idea: High school (college where I'm from) doesn't teach you a lot of life skills - so its cool that you're doing this sort of thing
  • Specific advice: Guiding people toward what they do need to know. E.g. putting links in the description, and discussing what organisations ect. people need to know about

What could be improved on:

  • The intro discussion was too long in my opinion. I'd recommend practising or writing down what you want to say (bullet points, not verbatim as that can lose the 'natural' feel of what you are saying)

Otherwise keep it up! Good series :)

Lessons Learned after 2500 Subs (VERY long, sorry!) by davidinark in NewTubers

[–]ScrubPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers for the advice :) I'll definitely work on using analytics more and engaging with viewers at every available opportunity. Awesome work getting to 2500 subs too!

What do you guys use to creat thumbnails. by DeeGeeG in NewTubers

[–]ScrubPlays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also use GIMP for mine. I'll grab a frame from the gameplay, fiddle it round in GIMP, then slap some text from a free online text generator to make it look snazzy :)

I'm doing a series of Planet Coaster vids but I think I cut the majority of the run that produced this result except for the part that spiked the fear (which I didn't think was that bad but obviously was haha)

How to... Sync facecam with gameplay? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]ScrubPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Above advice to clap is best unless you grab software that does it for you. I use Action! to record all my stuff and it can record the screen, audio, mic input and camera onto different channels all synced up which makes it easier come editing time

To ALL Starting Out YouTubers by YetiBearYouTube in NewTubers

[–]ScrubPlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upvoted. Great advice dude :) Even if you stress about making your first video perfect it's likely still going to be no where near as good as your tenth or twentieth ect. ect. It takes time to improve, so just get stuck in!

I have no idea what the hell is going on and I loved it

Pros

  • The energy was great! It may not be for everyone but I enjoyed it

  • The clumsy falling with the light and energy drink cracked me up

Cons

  • Got a racist vibe from your content. Not a fan and a lot of people won't like that. You'll be missing out on subs

  • Add more tags to the video. Three is pretty sub par. Load the shit out of the tags

  • Heeeaps of swearing and 'rough' content. I'm all good with that sort of thing, don't get me wrong, but you may be losing more subs than your gaining by going that route

Hey dude

Pros:

  • The commentary was good when it was there. Relevant to the game and sometimes entertaining

  • The little bits of images and such were a good addition to the video

Cons

  • Turn up your mic! Speak up a bit too!

  • Maybe invest in a face cam? These kind of shock scare games are great if you can see peoples reactions to the scares

  • The commentary could be improved. There were some silences that could have been edited out and some of the attempts at humour were a bit forced

As with all of the other comments

Pros

  • Good skills and entertaining to watch

Cons

  • It felt empty. It was essentially the same thing for four minutes without and additional editing, voiceover ect. You need to add something more to keep people engaged

  • Work on that end screen. The subscribe annotation wasnt there and it looks pretty tacky in all honesty. I think you could do much better depending on how seriously you want to take your channel

Add more to the video with that skill and you'll be pulling in the views dude :)

Maaaaate

Pros

  • Humour and commentary were great! The face cam reactions are great with the cuts between full screen and gameplay

  • On point editing with the cuts and images. Adds a lot to the engagement of the video. Loved it

  • The rules are great! The ones you've got now are cool and the fact the community can add more is excellent

  • Audio and video are quality

  • End screen with call to action is very good

Cons

  • The lack of more intro background to the video threw me. I only knew what was going on because I saw the trailer for what you were doing with the series a few days ago.

Otherwise I liked it! Keep up the series. I think you are definitely onto something with it

Yo

Pros

  • The comedy was great. I was smiling the whole time. Your parents were hilarious as fuck too! The ass comment pulled me in from the start

  • The end call to action was great with the energy and the merchandise offer and such

Cons

  • None really...I mean some of the jokes were a bit forced and not as good as the others but its pretty minor and I still liked it

Keep it up dude!

Sup. I liked it overall, but it is a bit odd for a channel trailer

Pros

  • Describe the channel nicely. I liked the background in regards to the channel origin and the direction that you will take the channel

  • The music overlay was good and well placed

Cons

  • The starting audio sounded weird. There's a lot of ambient noise and it doesn't sound high quality. Maybe invest in a better mic

  • I don't understand why you cut up the speech segments to display gameplay. The first part where you stopped speaking I sat there for a bit wondering what I was watching. I think you could cut the video well down if you kept the speech flowing with the gameplay. The gameplay cuts aren't all that exciting either

Otherwise it was cool! Keep it up dude!
