Q&A for How to Make Professional Quality YouTube Videos

Be very active, set a schedule for uploading videos and stick to it, post regularly on social media, read the negative comments on other people's pages so you know what to avoid.

Some professional YouTubers can take up to 2 hours to film and a few hours editing and cutting it down to a reasonable time. It just depends on how much effort you want to put into it.

You could get a voice recording app and save it as an MP3 and add it later on your video.

It depends on what type of videos you want to make. If you want to make DIY videos and tutorials, then it's easy. Just use voice-overs, and film what you are doing with your hands. You also can make traveling videos easily without having to show your face.

Technically, yes, but the quality will not be very good. Most people find that videos filmed on tablets (and phones) often come out fuzzy or blurry.

Typically, it is better to shoot on overcast days or in the shade. Direct sunlight can be too harsh and wash out your subjects.

You can use anything that is stable enough to support your camera, such as a bookshelf, a table, or even a stack of books.

Try Movie Maker from Microsoft. It's free and can do everything that you need it to do.

You can create a video with everything, if you have a smartphone with a good front or back megapixel camera. You can record good quality video with good audio. If you have a windows computer or laptop, you can download free editing software. And if you have a Mac, you have iMovie, which is a good starting software for editing.

Use apps on your video. When you're done, just go to your YouTube account and go to your files to find the video you edited. Hit Upload and then you need to wait until the bar is done and it will be on. See further: How to Upload a Video to YouTube .

Yes, and there are lots of programs you can download to help you, but you'll probably want to upgrade to a computer when you have the chance as it will make the process much easier.

You can use a script for your audio and video timing or try video editing software.

Make videos about trending topics, funny stories, or other current topics that viewers might be interested in. Make sure your video has good sound quality, and that you are not speaking too quickly or too slowly. Use tags so your video will come up in searches. Finally, use images, memes, and other visually interesting media to enhance your video and keep it interesting.

It's possible, if the lighting is right and you have good editing software.

You can use animating software, such as Videoscribe, or Go Animate or check out many of the available apps for doing stop animation available in the iPhone App Store or Google Play Store.

Observe professionals or YouTubers with many subscribers. See what kinds of trends are current and use these hashtags to gain viewers.

In my opinion, the best thing to do would be to talk continuously as long as you can and then cut out the parts you don't want or need later. You save time by talking continuously, and it will all flow more naturally both before and after editing. Also, as you speak continuously, you might come up with something new on the spot. The best material often comes from improvisation and spontaneity.

You should preferably sit in a noiseless place. But if you still get them, use a pop filter for the microphone. You can also use the noise-cancelling option.

You can do it in the YouTube editor, or you can download it and add it in your editing software. Just make sure it is copyright free or that you have permission to use it.

If you have an apple device or a Mac, iMovie has many choices with what you can do. Also, if you use a computer and log into iCloud.com, you can save songs and use them as your soundtrack instead.

You can change the resolution when uploading to YouTube.

Mobile phones are not the best choice when coming to audio. Maybe you can record the audio to your PC/Mac and merge the audio and the video together using a video editing software.

I assume you mean the thumbnail for your video. Well, you can take an interesting section of your video that will draw the viewer in and place that before the intro of your video.

Yes, you can as long as your computer has a webcam.

If you are using a DSLR you need to insert a MMC card for shooting and your video will be saved to that storage. After this connect this card to an adapter and insert to your PC or laptop.

You can use pixlr.com, which is a cheap alternative to Photoshop created by Google.

Yes, if you find a great deal on a used camcorder. Also yes if you have a smartphone. You can get good video from the main camera (not the selfie camera), and okay to good audio. Experiment by making lots of test recordings, varying how you do things. This can improve results significantly. For $30, search "smartphone microphone" (if your phone has a mic input) and "smartphone tripod" for inexpensive options that won't be highest quality, but will improve results and give you experience in case you decide to invest more in the future.

Edit out the clips you seem to have issues with. Make a script if needed, and your voice is fine. Everyone seems to think their voice is weird when they hear it played back. Of course, if it's weird because of your microphone, you might want to invest in a new one.
