Nice video, stylish. Where are you getting the background music?
Thanks Andy - all from the YouTube Audio Library (linked below). It can take a while to find the right piece but some of it isn't bad at all (not all mind) :)

Loving the journey of creating videos, still a lot to learn. Hope to get back to travelling next year.

Just taken a look at your latest vid - Canary Islands (Tenerife Holiday Guide 2021). You've got some great footage so bloody good job and got a like from me!!!

I have to ask - is the aerial stuff stock footage or are do you have your own drone (I'd love one but my wife reckons I would break or lose it in 5 minutes so won't sign the chit).

Thanks for the comment and like, all footage in the video is stock through the Wevideo film editor and music Epidemic Sounds.
Love your editing, simple and stylish.
Would like a drone in the future but at the moment all I use is an Osmo gimbal 3 and Smartphone.

I'm no animator (as you'll soon see) and I know I'm a bit early but this one also goes out to all on The Money Shed!!! I've deliberately made the messaging generic so people can share it if they want.

Hope you all have a good one!

Any of you creators tried #shorts videos on YouTube. Will be interesting to see the results.
Meanwhile, I am trying to be consistent with uploading one full video a week.

Nicely done!! Have you checked the average view time of your previous videos. I found a relatively high drop off rate on the longer videos so have focussed more on shorter videos as a result (with no improvement in overall channel performance though so shows what I know). I'd check the stats and make a decision based on that (balanced with the fact it's less work to create a shorter video).

I always think short-form content will win out you know

unless it's a creator I like or the content is REALLY interesting to me I prefer my youtube stuff to be short and snappy!

I have only done two shorts in vertical format video for less than 60 seconds. One was video, text, and music, which never got any views on the short's shelf. The other was a video with me talking, text, and music. Got nearly 400 views in three days and increased my subscriber count. Here the link.

If nothing else I'm persistent. 186 subscribers now but still a long, long way short of the magic 1000!

I've often wondered that.

I would hazard a guess that it's a mixture of social media promoting + perhaps creating a blog alongside the content to give people more long-form content based around the videos

If anybody hasn't checked out tubebuddy (I hadn't until yesterday and I have to say I'm impressed and would definitely recommend taking a look). It's a free (basic version) browser extension that integrates with YouTube and helps with things like tag words, SEO, best practice and general navigation.

If you do decide to sign up for the paid version (from $3.60 a month) then I'd really appreciate it if you could use my referral code.

Hi Jon - I know the YouTube forum is nowhere near as active but shouldn't we have a thread somewhere on here to keep a record of posters YT channels in one place similar to the one in place for blogs?

It would be for channels only, no discussion and might be useful place to see who might be able to help with general video/channel management etc.

I'm happy to set one up and maintain if the following would work - an opening post that was updated with a list of channels from all the replies posted with details.

What do you think?

This is a warm up to editing a short about spiders. Not looking forward to that :oops:
