My experience creating a Youtube video
Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2014 2:13 am
Hi everyone! Over the past 4-6 hours I've been creating, editing, and rendering a 40 second video. Yes only 40 seconds. The video I created was the introduction to a youtube channel that I've made and I'd like to tell you my experience throughout the whole thing. Please note that I am in no way trying to promote my channel but simply give you a better understanding of what most youtubers go through to produce content.
The first 35 minutes of starting this major project off was buying software, and making channel art. The software in total cost me around $200-$325, and making the channel art was free. So far pretty easy right? Wrong. Afterwards I had to spend 2 hours learning how to use this software and what I could do with it. I then used what I had learned and tried my best to implement them into the video creating process. The amount of editing that it took to make this video was tremendous (And I still had minor mistakes in the finished product!). After I spent 3 hours editing it and rendering it, it was time to upload it. Uploading it wasn't really time consuming but I just couldn't wait until it was finished!
What I've learned from this short experience is just a taste of what youtubers have to go through, and I surely will be doing it again! It was fun but at the same time challenging which is what I like about it.
Here is the finished product
