Simple Ways to Create Amazing YouTube Videos

7 Simple Ways to Create YouTube Videos

There are many ways to create videos for YouTube. The favorites ones include using a Flip camera or recording a PowerPoint presentation using Camtasia screen capture software. But there are many other ways, too.
Simple Ways to Create Amazing YouTube Videos

1. Create videos with a pocket camcorder.

The Flip video camera is a simple digital camcorder, and has been the best-selling camcorder on Amazon.com since the day of its debut, capturing about 13 percent of the camcorder market. It films high-definition video and has a pop-out USB connector that lets you plug it directly into your laptop and upload the video straight onto YouTube. It is extremely easy to use, and you can buy one on eBay or Amazon. The Kodak Zi8 camera offers similar features, but includes the added advantage of having an external microphone jack, for much better sound than the Flip, as well as an HDMI jack that lets you watch your video on your television set.

2. Create a video with your webcam.

Most laptops have a built-in webcam and microphone. If you don’t have a webcam already installed on your laptop, you can buy one on Amazon.com or eBay.com. Personally, I find videos of people simply sitting in front of their laptops and speaking into their webcams very dull!

3. Create a video with your cell phone.

Nowadays most cell phones have a built-in digital camcorder that can produce videos as good if not better than webcams and Flip camcorders. Film a video, transfer it to your laptop, and then upload it to your YouTube account.

4. Create a video with Animoto.

If you don’t like using video editing software there is a very simple solution - Animoto (www.animoto.com). Animoto produces TV-quality music videos using your photos and video clips that can be ready to upload onto YouTube in just minutes. It’s very easy to use. Simply choose a song as the soundtrack to your video, upload your pictures and images, and Animoto will produce a totally unique video each time.

5. Hire actors to film videos.

If you need someone to star in a video, you can hire an out-of-work actor on www.mandy.com to appear in and film the video. There are many out-of-work actors who own Flip cameras or camcorders because they film themselves for auditions and to improve their acting performances.

6. Create a video with screen capture software.

This is my favorite way of creating YouTube videos. I use Camtasia Studio software to film my PowerPoint presentation on my computer screen and record my voice at the same time. Camtasia Studio is a vital weapon in every laptop entrepreneur’s arsenal, as it allows you to create videos that you can upload to YouTube to promote your business, create training videos for your outsourcers, and even create dozens of video-based products that you can sell to your clients. Free alternatives include Jing (www.techsmith.com/download/jing) and CamStudio (www.camstudio.org). For Mac users I recommend the free software ScreenFlow.

7. Create a video with Windows Movie Maker.

You can also create videos with Windows Movie Maker software (already installed on most Windows-based laptops). The program will allow you to not only edit the video but also to add effects like titles, credits, transitions, and soundtracks to make your video an exciting multimedia experience. I have not used Windows Movie Maker for creating videos, but I use it occasionally to edit my videos (when I need to shorten a video, or change its size, or to add my URL across the bottom of the video).

How to write a dissertation - writting a successful thesis

How to write a successful thesis or dissertation The selection of a suitable topic is the first major step in writing a thesis or dissertation. For some students this is an easy task. They have known what they wanted to study from the time they entered college and perhaps even before, but for many others, selecting a thesis or dissertation topic is one of the most difficult parts of their graduate programs. The thought of developing a “completely original” idea for such a large-scale project may seem overwhelming to them. The notion that a dissertation must be completely original is a misconception, for no research is completely original. All research is based on the work of others to some extent. In fact, the most useful kind of research simply builds on research that has already been done. Some of the most successful theses and dissertations simply extend the knowledge base one step further in an area by examining a new variable within a well-established line of inqu...

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE People’s beliefs about their abilities have a profound effect on those abilities. Ability is not a fixed property; there is a huge variability in how you perform. People who have a sense of self-efficacy bounce back from failure; they approach things in terms of how to handle them rather than worrying about what can go wrong. Albert Bandura, US psychologist (b.1925). Share on WhatsApp | Share On Twitter 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do On Their Walk To Success 1. They Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves Mentally strong people don’t sit around feeling sorry about their circumstances or how others have treated them. Instead, they take responsibility for their role in life and understand that life isn’t always easy or fair. 2. They Don’t Give Away Their Power They don’t allow others to control them, and they don’t give someone else power over them. They don’t say things like, “My boss makes me feel bad,” because they understa...
