Video Editing & Content Creation Nameless 05/06/20 (Wed) 05:13:45 No.5192

So I've been getting into video editing and I'm trying to figure out new topics, I was hoping you guys could have a look at what I've created and give me your criticism.

I have been thinking maybe I should ditch the current series titles (thought bites) and go with the video title only and diversify the thumbnails by changing colors, etc.

Honest answer, after watching through most of your "Don't Hurt Yourself Helping Others" video? Your voice lacks the energy to make rant videos entertaining, I don't care to watch stock footage edited together no matter how nicely, the background music is a bit overpowering, the yellow anon avatar rubs me entirely the wrong way, and come on, shilling a ~~teesprings~~ teepublic store?

Thanks for your input.

>Your voice lacks the energy to make rant videos entertaining

The videos are not supposed to be a rant. But I see what you mean, I am reading off a script so I'm trying to train my voice to sound more natural with emotion.

>I don't care to watch stock footage edited together no matter how nicely,

Hmm, I really liked the whole stock footage idea, I just thought "tangentially related" to what was being said. What do you suggest?

>the background music is a bit overpowering

I am still working on audio balancing. As you can tell my voice doesn't sound too good due to the incorrect sound balancing. No highs no lows, but I'm working on correcting this in future videos.

>the yellow anon avatar rubs me entirely the wrong way

How so? Like it misrepresents what the channel is about? I am aiming for more of a thoughtful theme. So maybe the whole "anon" thing is something I should ditch.

>shilling a teesprings teepublic store?

I worked on all those designs in 2019 when I was learning graphic design and abobe illustrator. I get some money from it and it helps me buy little things here and there that help with videos. I actually bought a TV with money from that little store.

Audio quality is the main concern and yours could be better, when it comes down to it most people simply listen to channels like this while doing other things so unless you want to eventually advance to kurzgesagt levels of visuals I wouldn't put too much time in editing.

Also you can do everything perfectly and still stay at sub 100 views forever because the algorithm works in mysterious ways so good luck, you'll need it.

Absolutely, I will be focusing more on audio at this time.

>Also you can do everything perfectly and still stay at sub 100 views forever because the algorithm works in mysterious ways so good luck, you'll need it.

You're definitely right, but mainly I want to do this so I can learn how do things like magnetic typography, learn captioning, learn audio mixing. At least I'll have a video library that I can point back to that captured my thoughts and feelings. So I'm glad about that for the sake of a personal project that I enjoyed.

I intend on uploading in other places as well as YouTube.

Going off and talking about something like that is basically a rant. Nothing wrong with that, they can be very entertaining, and often I throw them on in the background while I do other things. However, your takes don't seem very hot, and the script probably weighs you down more than it helps. Better to just have some key points jotted down, and talk naturally from there.

I don't care for the actual video almost at all for that sort of video, so heavy editing is just a waste. I'll only pay attention to the actual video of those videos when there's some sort of original content in there.

Audio quality doesn't matter to me, so long as it's understandable, and it is. But again, it's the kind of video you throw on while doing something else, so putting music on top isn't so good.

The OC donut steel anon seems pretentious, I guess. Not only is it unoriginal, but it's not supposed to be any one person. He's anonymous.

All I have to say about the store is fucking hell, I can't believe you got anything at all from it. If it's working, go shill it out to the normalfags who eat that shit up.

I watched a few of those videos and I like where you're coming from. Keep it up.

>I don't care to watch stock footage edited together no matter how nicely

I disagree with this Senafag here. Remixed stock footage can make for interesting content. It's a subtle art, but it can be done well. Adam Curtis has made a name for himself by remixing and recontextualizing other people's material this way.

>I am reading off a script so I'm trying to train my voice to sound more natural with emotion

The best tip I was ever given about delivering scripted material and making it sound natural was to rehearse the material until you've memorized it and then recite it from memory. You can usually tell when people are delivering scripted material that they haven't memorized because they're reading and reciting at the same time and as a result the recitation suffers. Granted this can take more time, but the presentation can sound more natural because of it. You can always keep the script on hand for reference. Just don't let it become a crutch that helps you walk, but keeps you from running.

>stay at sub 100 views forever

Most of the content that I've come to appreciate over the years is not popular. Consider how many artists or thinkers were never appreciated in their time. Often, to do anything of any importance, one has to play the long game. Maybe settle for a small ripple effect in your own lifetime… if you're lucky. Sometimes when I check out a recommendation and see that it has millions of views, I'm immediately skeptical of it. If you can garner a small yet passionate audience, you may well be on the right track by reaching just the right people.
