[thegeeksplace]

I really like this new camera angle hopefully you can make more videos like this

[dmnr3667]

[marquesbrownlee]

@dmnr3667 Eye level have the tripod top holding the camera where you don't have to move your head to see through the viewfinder.

[michaelpoczynek]

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for spending your time and energy. I would like to produce videos pertaining to real estate with the same one person, one camera setup you are using, I would like to know how to do the lighting and use a black back drop properly. I find having computer equipment or otherwise too distracting for the view, thats why I order the black back drop. Thanks again.

[marquesbrownlee]

@michaelpoczynek I can definitely help you out with that. I'll see what I can do with the series!

[michaelpoczynek]

@marquesbrownlee Thanks you are a good man. Greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful holiday season.

[MysticKnightFury]

[DonutEatingLlama]

Maybe a beginners guide to DSLR?

[marquesbrownlee]

@DonutEatingLlama Great tip- I'll have an overall camera guide for YouTube that will cover this.

[SuperGEORGE1993]

how do you convert videos on camtasia i mean quality options codec and stuff like that can you add video about that?

[marquesbrownlee]

@SuperGEORGE1993 Yep! I did an outdated tutorial on it earlier so one of the videos will update this tutorial =]

[x0xHellzSpawnx0x]

Personally, I want to start doing some videos but I have no clue how to edit and stuff.

If you could show beginner tutorials of how to do a basic editing with camtasia studio 7. I recorded a video, how do I go about doing a voice-over, adding intro, text IN the video (such as you usually have on yours helping you describe a product or something)

Anything like that would be most welcome. I LOVE the quality and how professional your videos look. Learning how you do it = priceless.

Hope you c dis

[marquesbrownlee]

@x0xHellzSpawnx0x Yep these are some of the things I had in mind when I decided to do such a video series. In my opinion editing is one of the most underrated parts of what makes a video good. Thanks for the suggestions!

[TheMassGenocide]

It would be great to learn more about lighting. Tell us the difference between 3 point lighting, rim light, highlights, etc. I'm very curious to know more. You have very nice highlights in your eyes in the video btw. :)

[marquesbrownlee]

@TheMassGenocide Lighting, got it - and thanks lol

[MacFadden01]

do you wear eye liner?

[marquesbrownlee]

@MacFadden01 ....Nope. lol

[mzfcker]

[marquesbrownlee]

[MaximAvs]

[marquesbrownlee]

@MaximAvs Great suggestion, especially because they're similar price. I'll see what I can do!

[pizzafootbal]

You should make one about getting your channel out there, and expanding the amount of viewers and loyal subscribers

[marquesbrownlee]

@pizzafootbal Great topic. That will definitely have its own section of the series - thanks for the suggestion!

[NorthernWaterTribe15]

Fandubs are very common among Youtube, so possibly making a video on how to either replace voices with other voices or voiceovers, or if that can't work then how to use music and other SFX to make a fandub. =)

[marquesbrownlee]

@NorthernWaterTribe15 Interesting request XD I have something similar in two different videos but comining them would be interesting. I'll see what I can do!

[yutubemedia]

Awesome, I look forward to this series of tips, If i had to pick one, Id say "VoiceOvers"

[marquesbrownlee]

@yutubemedia Sweet! This one is a pretty popular request. It'll definitely be included in the series =]

[htorres85]

Could you talk about what is best for recording video. Like a picture camera vs a smart phone camera such as the one on the htc evo?

[marquesbrownlee]

@htorres85 Interesting request - I have a cameras overview video in the works for the series so this is a helpful addition. Thanks!

[iTalkApple]

i just want to know how exactly you record your voiceovers/plan what you're saying so it relates to the clip

[marquesbrownlee]

@iTalkApple I plan on showing exactly that in the voiceover tutorial - thanks for the request!

[marquesbrownlee]

@idoobleWorld In a way, sure =]

[tr33zi13]

Computer power, such as what to edit videos with; programs; mac or pc.

[marquesbrownlee]

@tr33zi13 Great suggestion - I actually have an entire 'building a computer' series coming up after CES =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@idoobleWorld He made a single video. I plan on making a series of videos addressing a pretty wide variety of topics from questions in the comments. Hopefully this can help a lot of people =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@nickkourpias After Effects Tutorial coming soon =]

[techtonicc]

@FreshVideoBatch who cares dude, he's trying to help his viewers out and have them become successful. Don't bitch cause he's helping you

[marquesbrownlee]

@FreshVideoBatch Instead of doing a single video I'll be doing a series of dedicated videos for each topic. Hopefully this helps =]

[yutubemedia]

@FreshVideoBatch MKB did not steal my video, as he said, he is making a series, and will be on a particular subject. Just look forward to it! 8)

@FreshVideoBatch wtf? a lot of big YouTubers do these types of vids... Plus it means for more tips :D

[AndresR0d]

@marquesbrownlee thanks! i've been trying to decide on a good camera to buy

[PatrickWillShowYou]

u shud see da thumb nail, u look drunk

[marquesbrownlee]

@PatrickWillShowYou I saw it... Tried desparately to change it and it's not working... Weird lol

[RyanSimonovich]

you should do a video on screen cast basics....such and programs and how to set up a mic.

[marquesbrownlee]

@RyanSimonovich Great suggestion, sounds good!

[PringelDude95]

How do you export HQ videos from iMovie '08?

[marquesbrownlee]

@PringelDude95 iMovie ... Yeah I'm not the person to ask about iMovie sorry lol

[PatrickWillShowYou]

[SPAZPRPO]

@marquesbrownlee LMAO!!

[ShakeAndBakeGuy]

[marquesbrownlee]

@ShakeAndBakeGuy I'm still learning DSLR video but I'll do my best =]

[Nupurcute12]

[marquesbrownlee]

@Nupurcute12 ... Alrighty lol

[KennyMataz]

awesome outro

[marquesbrownlee]

@KennyMataz Thanks!

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion I'll have a video on that too but they're all .com's =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Oh snap a video editing rig. I almost forgot about that - it has its own separate video series for building a computer. That will be early 2011 right after CES =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Things like Engadget, DroidDog, Phonedog, Gizmodo, etc? I can certainly do that. Thanks for the tip.

[OfficalComputerGeek]

I would like to see like a cool photoshop design screencast like Simple aurora effects(: Thanks!

[marquesbrownlee]

@OfficalComputerGeek That would be pretty fun - thanks for the suggestion!

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Outside ways to bring in traffic to YouTube - great tips =]

[TheBrownBoy786]

what software r u using for your intro and the ending

[marquesbrownlee]

@TheBrownBoy786 I used Adobe After Effects, which will hopefully have its own video in the series!

[TheBrownBoy786]

@marquesbrownlee thanks

[TheBrownBoy786]

some good software and what camera to be using?

[marquesbrownlee]

@TheBrownBoy786 Yep both of these will have their separate videos. Great suggestion!

[mp4podcastDOTcom]

Can you add a second audio track?

[marquesbrownlee]

@mp4podcastDOTcom Yep this will be in the video editing section =]

[techtonicc]

by the way, the thumbnail (as of right now) for this video is hilarious

[marquesbrownlee]

@techtonicc Yep I uploaded a new thumbnail but it hasn't taken effect yet lmao

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Social networking - nice suggestion =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion There's actually no set limit. YouTube doesn't really look at subscriber count, as a matter of fact, when considering a channel for partnership. IT's more about video content and viewership.

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Yep that's on the list for the beginner video. =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Careful of repeats - but yeah most of these are done with After Effects and the new channel name will be in the beginner video.

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion That one's a pretty popular video on YouTube already. Or you could Google search it and find out pretty easily =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion This one I won't be doing but I can tell you now that being a YouTube partner and having your own website are two of the only ways to do so. Hope this helps =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion This one's all about contacts and community. I think one of the last episodes will be what to do after the video is uploaded... Like answering hundreds of comments =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Well I'm not exactly the expert on setting up websites for YouTube channels but there are a lot of guys out there who do that very well. I'll try to get in contact with them and see what I can come up with!

[marquesbrownlee]

@TechTalker34 I have an intro making video in the works with software like After Effects, iMovie, etc. Narration is a bit more tricky, but I'll be working on a video detailing that as well.

[karz930]

@marquesbrownlee no problem i was looking for a supper long time for a good one but I don't know what to look for. Thanks if you do it

[marquesbrownlee]

@karz930 No problem =]

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Funny you mention channel layouts - MKBHD channel was just redesigned for 2011. That will be posted soon, near the end of the month!

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Added. Thanks!

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Ah, requesting review products. Good stuff man, keep going! XD

[marquesbrownlee]

@SayfAlMujahid99 There's one day left to enter!

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion This is a pretty big one for graphic design, especially tech channels. I'll see what I can do for this one.

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Boom! Great one. Added it to the 'getting started' tips list.

[marquesbrownlee]

@HackerBoyProducetion Getting started is pretty important - it's on my list. Great suggestion!

[teckireviewer]

How to make a good voice over?

[marquesbrownlee]

@teckireviewer Yep voiceovers are on the list.

[marquesbrownlee]

[TheMoneyJohn]
