Going to YouTube

So I have been thinking that I do record a lot of my junkyard crawls and stuff I do but it's always been for my own entertainment. Then I find I never watch my own videos so they just kinda find their way to a hard drive and drift away into time.

So because I'm a huge fan of YouTube and I watch 800 hours of videos a year according to YouTube, I'm no stranger to what the typical content is and it's pretty much stuff I do and can handle.

So I'm planning on getting started, maybe this weekend so my question is to those members on YouTube. @318willrun

1. How do you edit videos. Is there software, does it cost?

2. How do you get over the nerves. I almost went on the live chat tonight with Mucsle car city (Rueben) but my mic wasn't working and the computer froze up a few times. But then he said i can use my phone which I hadn't even thought of, but then I couldn't get logged in for some *** reason.

In a way I got really nervous thinking about how many viewers there actually are. I mean an old man in rural Russia can potentially be watching me make a *** of myself going on and on about a valiant.

C. How do you add music and where can you select songs that won't get your video booted by yuuuuuutoooob

D. What other equipment will I need other than a mic and I'm guessing a gopro camera??

5. Are there any other tips you can give to making a solid video?

Ok, I'm done thinking out loud, any input is appreciated.

There is a guy on youtube Kevin that has good tutorials on how to edit videos.

There are free music royalty free downloads. Short free video clips to add in as filler to your vids and backgrounds.

You will be surprised your phone can record video segments then you can edit them all together with the editing software. Fade in, fade out, add a little music here, fade it off later, then go into your own narration audio files to add in.

You will be a full blown videographer when you are done.

Free video editing Software online too will have to dig up the product name. Very professional .
