[Lydzzkelly]

[MigotoKuragari92]

Thanks for the tips, some i didn't even think about! I want to consider making Vlog, but I'd need something interesting to say. :) any popular topics you'd recommend?

[quarterhill]

Quick question, what editing software do you use because I desperately need one. I broke half of your tips in my last video. :(

[AustinJacksonLife]

Thanks it really helped alot

[ProxiBoi]

I'm thinking about starting a Vlog, so thanks for your tips.

[randomdudeof2010]

Here goes nothing haha

[2CsAnd1S]

What do we use to edit videos???

[CoopersVlogs]

Thanks for some tips i made my first vlog today on a brand new channel if you want to check me out that would be great

[MaggzFlynn]

I make vlogs, but I need advice. IDK what exactly I'm doing wrong with them but I know I am doing something wrong cause they aren't getting many views. Do I not talk enough to the camera, do I show to much? Advice on how to improve??? :) Thanks!

[BiologyAndNintendo]

lay off! XD

[flamer41]

[BeautynScents]

[sethers420]

I wanna vlog but have nothing to talk about.. Lol this sucks

[AuroraXA]

Great tips!

[MollyPocketQueen]

Hahahah ur funny :) Thanks! Real good advice! and all so true! I hate when they start like

"Hey guys! Today Im gonna talk about (Insert topic here) (Which is obvious because it's already on the title) and bla bla bla, and umm, well thanks for watching, um, I hope you liked it and ummm..then i'll see you next time!

And it IS unconfortable to watch people going like.. umm...ummm..ummm *awkward silences* instead of just cutting that out. Or when they talk n talk & never get to the point....

[HaloReachSkillz]

My mate made a video about murderin' babies please can you accept. There ain't no swearin' just blood =D lol

[alishiamae97]

it's awesome to look around youtube an find genuinely funny people from my town.. legit your videos are hilarious

[sixstanger00]

Loved the vid. Lol, but you made all that fuss about editing vids, and yet we still see you reaching to stop yours from rolling at the end. Oh well. Still thumbs up because it was helpful. :)

[GreenTaurosGuy]

Thanks for this video, really great advice! Just curious though, could you explain the lighting in a bit more detail? Things like location, proximity, type, etc.?

[MajorMotionMatt]

@ItzMilesVellozzo That's funny, because, believe it or not, you're not the first to say that! In fact, I've had, literally, HUNDREDS of people on YouTube tell me that! It's crazy, because I don't see it at all!

Maybe it would be a good topic of a video someday, though. ;)

[ItzMilesVellozzo]

@MajorMotionMatt Haha!

[CodMaster601]

@ItzMilesVellozzo Holy Crap, Great Minds Think Alike.

[WhiteCookieStudios]

@MajorMotionMatt Dear Matt...i saw this vid when i was looking online for helpful tips on how to make good vlogs...and i have one simple question about this: I have Corel Video Studio 10...which i bought a LONG time ago..but for some reason my Flip camcorder's video's don't show up on it...got any help? I can't figure out why it doesn't work..and i'm not in a position to buy a new one...(BTW i do have a blog post...but i suggest you don't watch it cuz its....yea...)

[2468girls]

@MajorMotionMatt thanxs alot for the help i love you :)

[MajorMotionMatt]

[blueglitter84]

Your really funny :p

[blueglitter84]

mmm mmm mmm vloooooooog blaa lol love it!! :p

[TEHL33MONESS]

Stop trying so hard, the harder you try the harder you fail. Turn youself into a whiny bitch and don't forget to remind everybody what a pain it is to make vlogs and how you'd rather just dunk your head underwater until you're almost passed out, take a deep breath, rinse and repeat (Pun definitely f@#king intended) That and adding Twilight related tags. If you don't want to be a poser in lieu of being yourself then GTFO, the internet is not for expressing yourself. (But not really)

[MajorMotionMatt]

@TEHL33MONESS Umm... huh?  O.o

[NewTomorrowMetal]

@TEHL33MONESS

Die 

[cheekychickenhead]

I think I have done every wrong thing I could have possibly done wrong with my first Vlog ha ha I am going to go shopping for a proper recorder just not sure what to get yet.

[CostaRicaGirl17]

MajorMotionMatt: I am on Iphone, I don't really sign in to my account on YouTube.com due to negative comments (a.k.a retards on YouTube!) so don't take it personally if I don't add you.

[MajorMotionMatt]

@CostaRicaGirl17

I take it EXTREMELY PERSONALLY. Haha, no, I'm kidding. I understand completely. x] Glad you liked the video!!

[CostaRicaGirl17]

Dude, this video was the BEST video on YouTube I have ever seen! And I'm not just saying that to sound retarded, you are hilarious. And I love your positive energy.

[MajorMotionMatt]

[pennyobrook]

thanks for posting this, i'm planning on making a vlog for this summer. This really helped me get some good ideas!

[MasterMaxJfilms]

if u have a laptop with cyberlink youcam and u use ur webcam to make a video with that u can edit it on windows movie maker the quality is pretty good on youcam with a webcam but i still do use my camera but sometimes if im just doing an update i use cyberlink youcam with my webcam

[JoshJepson]

Some good tips there, I'm going to buy a Kodak Zi8 in a couple months or so. Whenever I can afford it and begin a Vlog of my own. I used to do a few "live videos" on my old channel, but I wasn't much for the editing then so it was long and drawn out. After watching other youtubers for the last 3 years or so I see that some of the comedy can actually come from editing. Great tips, and thumbs up bro.
