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.


You are young and much more computer savy then most of us old people but this is exactly what most of us feel like about the interwebs and things like YouTube.
