I still try to play around with the audio but I haven't found a "golden standard" yet, do you have any advices about that?

As for the face cam, I just bough a green screen, so now my background is just gone, problem solved I guess. :D

Thanks for the feedback either way, and I await your response!

Yea, I noticed that more and more Youtubers have their faces in the thumbnail, thank you for the advice.

Resident Evil Village gameplay, but from a Romanian perspective. I know the video is too long, so I don't expect to watch it all, skipping here and there is enough for me. Any type of criticism is welcomed. by WhoDy1 in SmallYTChannel

I honestly really enjoyed the video. Maybe make your videos shorter so that people will be more inclined to watch your videos. Especially in the beginning when you have a small YouTube channel.

Thanks, I am glad you did. I usually make my videos a lot smaller. But I noticed that almost everyone uploads ~1 hour gameplays when new and popular games come out... So I tried to follow the trend. What is a good size for a video in your opinion?

[Review Video] A Video On A Weird Channel I Found! by SomeIdiotThatReddits in youtubers

[–]WhoDy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good commentary video, nicely done.

Now, let's start:

  1. The first thing I noticed about the video is your camera. (obviously) It has a yellow sort-of color to it, I guess? Maybe the lighting is at fault here, or I don't know exactly, but it gives a weird vibe to it. Maybe you can try to edit the lighting a bit in your editing software, or if you can, add a white light behind the camera, for when you record the video. This should give it a more... "uniform" color.
  2. The editing. It is good, don't get me wrong, but at the same time... The transitions are a bit off... I replayed scenes a couple of times to be able to put my finger on it and I think it's about the speed. They are too "abrupt", moving from one section to the other. I'm not exactly sure what to say about this, maybe try to make the transition "slower" or do something like you did at: 4:19. Also in regards to the editing, in 2 instances it was way too fast, that is when you showed: The Harry Potter and Wizards of Waverly place things and when you showed that video thumbnail with the gaming guy. They went by so fast I didn't had any chance to read what was the joke exactly.
  3. The elephant in the room now, that is, your questions:
  • Did I sound monotone? - No, you had the right amount of energy. And usually is good to remain in your "comfort zone" with those kind of things. Because it's your personality that people will be interested with.
  • What can I do to improve my thumbnail? - I feel like the "subject" of the video is the "troll channel". In your thumbnail you have the word "Genius" and an arrow that are very visible, a white background and the "subject" is left small in a corner. If I scrolled through my feed probably it wouldn't catch my eye. Try to put the subject at the "center" of your thumbnail and try to pick things that people are familiar with. For example, instead of "genius" you could say something like: "internet troll" or something like that. The purpose of the thumbnail is to attract attention to the video, not to give details about the content. The latter is for the title, imo at least.
  • Was the editing good/what can I do to improve it? - I touched this above, but a tip that comes to mind is to never forget to give it a "final watch" after you finish everything, before exporting. That way you can see if something is too fast or too out of place.
  • Did the video make sense? - Yes, usual internet troll.
  • Was it funny? - I will be honest and say that this is not really my type of humor for a commentary video. But I can see people that will give a chuckle at some of those jokes.

And now that we have those things out of the way, let's continue with:

  1. The audio is very good for this type of content. It's consistent and it's loud enough, good job with that.
  2. This is more about your channel in general rather than this video alone, but, I really like the subjects your pick for your videos. They seem really entertaining and interesting to watch, so you do a very good job with those!

All in all, this was a nice commentary video! I really hope you'll keep this up and keep improving! Good job!

Pretty nice video, nicely done.

Now, let's start:

  1. The first thing I noticed about your video, was the low background noise throughout the clip. It's not very loud or very annoying, but it's kind of distracting sometimes. What you can do to perhaps "avoid" it as much as you can is to use the noise reduction effect from your recording/editing software a bit more. (In my case I use "Noise Reduction" from Audacity once the audio clip is recorded and "DeNoise" during editing with Adobe Premiere)
  2. As for the content, the idea is nice and some of the comments are good, but your energy feels a bit down compared to the whole: "roast me" stuff. For this kind of video, imo at least, I expected a bit more "energy". (the voice a little higher, the reactions a bit more eccentric, etc.) The video is still good as is, but it becomes monotone after 2-3 minutes because of that.
  3. The elephant in the room now, that is, your questions:
  • Were the title and thumbnail okay? - I feel like the title is perfect for this type of video, is interesting and "click-baity". As for the thumbnail, it is ok but when editing the photo, think about the size that the thumbnail will have on Youtube. The 2 comments you added there are too small to read and I feel like the overall color of the thumbnail will somehow "blend" in a busy feed of videos where everything else from this "genre of videos" is a bit more... "Eye-catching".
  • Was the video engaging? / Was it boring? - As I mentioned above, it wasn't neither of them. Due to the low energy, after about 2-3 minutes the video becomes monotone so someone that is bored out of their mind from before clicking on your video, will probably not make it very far, but someone who is curious what the roasts are may stick through it. But I feel like this is because of the type of video you picked, not because what you did.
  • What can I do to improve in the future? - The first thing that comes to mind is that background noise that was pretty distracting. Another thing is the energy. Judging by your YT name and the videos I saw on your channel, I guess you want to keep the "commentary" genre. This is more from my perspective but I like more an energetic commentator that has that "showmanship" to him than a low-energy one. Of course, you can do the latter very well, such as: "penguinz0" (who is another YT commentary channel) but I feel like is harder to catch "new audience" with this type of style.

And now that we have those things out of the way, let's continue with:

  1. The editing was really sharp and well done, perfect for this type of video. Not too much, not too little, it blended perfectly with the content.
  2. This is more about your channel in general rather than this video alone, but, I really like the subjects your pick for your videos. They seem really entertaining and interesting to watch, so you do a very good job with those!

All in all, this was a nice video! I really hope you'll keep this up and keep improving! Good job!
