How to make a youtube video???

For those that have done it, decently, not professionally recorded... how do you go about doing this? Im ignorant when it comes to this technology stuff.

Is it as simple as record it, put the video on your computer, then just upload it to youtube?
 
If you have wifi you can even do it straight from your phone.
I think you have to sign up for an account, just like anything.
 
It depends on what you want to video and the quality required. You will need to register on YouTube. Once registered and signed in you can leave comments on other videos and upload videos yourself.
Simplest way is probably video shot with a phone but the quality and sound are not usually good.

A better way it to shoot video with a reasonable camera, most digital cameras can shoot video and record sound. I'm currently using a Nikon L820 - Not an expensive camera. It records onto an SD card. The card data can be loaded onto a PC with a simple card reader.

Once the video is on your PC you can edit it. There are simple free editing tool available like Windows Live movie maker where you can add titles and cut out all the bits you don't want.

Once you have your edited movie ready, you can upload it to YouTube for the world to see.

From my experience the videos need to be quite short, 5 minutes might be about average.

You will get feedback about how many views you get, where from, average view time etc. If you get a few popular videos up you might get the chance to run ads next to your videos, this might pay a few $'s a month.

I've had over a million views on my youtube channel (thetargetmaster) but still a rank amateur.
 
Do me a favor and wear a Bozo the Clown suit so we know who you are.:cool::cool::cool: Just kidding! I just hope it's something more interesting than some girl with big boobs falling on her butt after shooting a twelve gauge.

HA! I gotta see how it works out first. Ive thought several times about doing a start to finish reloading series. Everyome reloads differently so some may like it other may not... depends if i ever find the time to mess with it
 
1. Signup for youtube
2. Acquire device that records video(leave the vhs camcorder at home ,old timers :D)
3. Your device should include a usb connector that will plug directly into your pc. After recording the video plug it right in to your pc and open the folder of your recorder(click "my computer" and you will see your device)
4. Drag and drop your video on to your desktop or make a folder on your desktop and call it gun videos or whatever
5. View the video to make sure it is up to your standards
6. If you want to cut clips, add titles, add music, etc then download Windows movie maker. Some Windows computers will already have it installed. It's super easy but if you have any trouble there's 100's of youtube tutorials
7. Once you have the final video saved then open up youtube and click the upload button. Find your edited video that you saved and choose that.
8. Post it here and we will critique it :D
 
Ive watched one of Alex's and it was great. The majority of the you tubes Ive seen, the creator really, really likes to hear himself talk. Some may actually have good info but after about 2 minutes of listening to some boob that has diarrhea of the mouth I just have to turn it off.
 
I find that it helps to edit out mistakes and pauses so the viewer can get the key elements without as much waiting. Keep the cool stuff in, edit out the boring stuff.
 
I've been using "Power Director 13" for editing software. It's capable of doing MUCH more than I know how to use, but is still pretty user friendly. PM sent.
