Giving the youtubes thing a shot.....

What software are you using?

Chevy_man said it already, Davinci Resolve. It's a fully featured video editing program for free, kinda like Fusion 360 is for CAD, but even less restrictions. I also use Audacity for recording voice overs and any extra audio editing I need to do, and OBS if I need to record my screen.

Resolve takes some time to learn, focus on the Edit tab, don't worry too much about Fusion or Fairlight, the Color stuff can be useful to do corrections if need be (color balance, brightening, etc.), and of course Deliver to actually output your video. Edit is easy enough to slice/dice pretty much everything, layering your media, and basic effects. If it runs slow, make sure you do optimized media HQ (not HQX) at half resolution, and should run fine on most computers.

Subbed and thumbs up'd you.

But - kill the intro and the cheesy sound effects. They add nothing. Less jibber-jabber and more building. Example - you say say 'we're gonna finish the roof' without the TMI.

My .02.

Good luck with it, though! :beer:

To each his own, most videos of this type talk 10x's more. Gotta realize most people watching have no idea what any of this is.

There is a reason why no successful channels are just a short video of someone doing something with no editing or commentary.

Thanks for the honesty though, that's why I posted here :flipoff2:

Cool, thanks. I'll check it out. We're already paying for canva, so free sounds better. :laughing:

If you need to hear it, your voice is fine, way more annoying people posting videos.

Intro is nice and short I’d keep it for now.

I like the format

explain what you are doing and why
Time lapse the tedious tasks
Check in when plans change or you have a tip

Funny, I've only ever heard it a few sec here and there up until a few days ago when we started this. After hearing it more, it doesn't bother me near as much.



Thanks everyone for the support with views, likes and subs
BTW :smokin:
 
good luck..

I sorta know a little about 1/2 adobe programs like Premiere..

I like it, and its the industry choice for most colleges to teach..

plus tons of great youtube tutorials out there..

I subbed to your channel
 
I gave that a like and sub, good on you for putting yourself out there.

I can honestly agree with you, most Toyota guys these days are pretty lame. It's either "look how many accessories I can bolt to the outside of my tacoma" or "look how I can drink 1000 nattys and break my clapped out pos 10 feet into the trail"
 
Your voice was fine. Sounded kinda like Dirt Lifestyle Nate.

I must admit, I watched in 1.25.

Being Ep1, it could have used an intro walkaround, "Here's my junk."

If my wife heard this video's music, she would start doing this and laughing:

old-man-dancing-old-man-from-deliverance.gif


Better than some that blast you with 100% volume metal, though.

Will watch more.
 
Gave ya a sub and the thumbs up :grinpimp:

I think I might have waited a bit longer to post, just so the video could end with at least one door installed and a walk around showing the completed job. Im curious how you did the fitment at the top.

I have a couple videos on yt and I don't know that they're better or worse :lmao: I totally get the anxiety over hearing your own voice, and not wanting to look like a dumbass on camera.

I guess I have to watch the next one to see how the finished doors fit :smokin:
 
make sure you say super excited at least 5 x in each video.:grinpimp:
 
Will watch n sub while on the road today, onto next tower:smokin:

Edit:. Sub'd. And thumbs 👍

Great, cause he is only semi annoying :laughing:

Funny because, it's already sped up 1.2 :lmao: no worries though, I'm impatient too.

I thought about that also, but I want to make the walk-around video pretty good, like maybe actually park the thing in a neat spot, edit in pics, ect.

That was my original plan, but was worried it would get too long. Building out the pieces to fit up that frame if going to be pretty time consuming. Plus I figured a tiny bit of suspense with each video is what keeps people coming back. If you're curious, then I guess it worked. :flipoff2:

I've thought about it for a long time and just finally said fuck it, why not.

Like he mentioned, your voice is fine. I listen to a podcast and watch other yt channels that have certifiably annoying voices.

Fair point. Check our Macro Machines, though: even if you don't like how the kid does his videos, he does some amazing stuff.
 
Nice work, sub'd on both tubes and instas


fwiw, your voice isnt as bad as your face. continue on. :flipoff2:




:lmao:

edit to add, keep the intro and music. intro is short enough to not lose my attention.

Posted our first actual video today. Definitely contemplated posting here :laughing: but fuck it, I'll give it a shot. If you think I'm annoying on camera, I'm with you :flipoff2: there are other annoying people on YouTube, so what's one more. :lmao:



BTW, anyone do video editing here?

Pretty cool. Liked/subscribed/all that BS.

My major in college was film with an emphasis on non-linear editing. What you need to know?
 
I didn't catch the length stamp, but I'm typically looking for 20 minute vids when on YT. I know your's wasn't that long, Just information for you about length of videos.

Depends on what you're using it for. Purely informational videos(how to bleed brakes, setting backlash on gears, swapping an alternator, etc) should be quick and to the point. No one has time to listen to a 5 minute intro of some youtuber talking into the camera. Unique builds and wheeling videos though, I think fall under the entertainment category, and 20 - 30 minutes sounds good to me while I sit on the couch eating chips.
