 Hello, this seems a bit strange. This is my second live stream in the day So not used to doing two streams in one day But I do do my regular weekly live stream and we're continuing that side Saturday Friday, whichever time it is for you wherever you are But this is my e-cam live I beg your pardon. It's my content creation vlog all for Cedar the great every day in April the initiative by e-cam to Basically encourage people to be creating every day in April and so that's what I'm doing I did cover off exactly what I'll be doing In my live stream yesterday, so this one is basically just going to be a quick update I spent about an hour yesterday talking about what I was doing and how I was going to do it and all that sort of stuff So this is not intended to be the just a duplicate of that It's more of an update, but it will just very quickly touch on the the process that I'm going to be going through And that is to basically Every day be trying to make my way through creating some of this content So I've got a schedule of stuff that's going to go out onto YouTube So here we've got sort of midnight 5 a.m. Every day. This is for my time obviously, so it's now 9 a.m. Here I'm going to be doing these these live streams just to give a sort of update on progress and things I've learned or found out along the way or just little things that I can want to share along the way too And so apart from this schedule though of what's going to go out in April This is all in service of trying to make a hundred and forty three videos before the 14th of May Which is my anniversary of one year on YouTube when I intended to have made 365 videos in my first year, so that's what this is all leading up to I'm going to try and make all of those videos in May though That's right in April even though some of them as you can see will be scheduled to go in May as well So it's all about just creating all of this content. What I also want to do though is I want to try and increase my frequency of posting my TikTok videos shorts reels which are by the way, just all repurposed. I'm just using the same, you know one minute videos With quick tips things that are related to the channel. I'm intending to continue making those and Have those going out on a on a daily basis, too Sorry, I'm just having a quick look. Am I going to I think I might be am I just let me just double-check where this is going to Before I continue on I've just had a sudden horrible feeling that I might be going to the wrong place But it seems like I'm not. Oh, thank thank goodness. There we go Hey, me great to see you. I do know what with that doing two two live streams in one day Hey, Sammy, I just suddenly had a thought did I just actually change it or am I Restreaming back to the same place as before But it looks like it's all it's all good. So Yeah, just a quick update really that I'm intending to get my TikTok videos out my reels shorts or whatever Adding those into the mix as well I'd like to have those ready for all of April but also all of May and if I can push it then also maybe all Of June as well so that I've got basically three months of short-form videos done as well So that's kind of like the schedule of when they're going out So what I've done is I've also created myself a little video list So that looks something like this and then as I go through making them I've got the all of the videos listed in the sort of order that I intend to make them And then I can sort of mark down when I've done the video I have to make thumbnails for all of these so I might just go and do like a big batch of thumbnails even before the Videos made and then I've got to schedule them in YouTube Then the short-form videos are all over here And so here I have to actually make the video and then I've got to make the thumbnail because YouTube still has thumbnails for these things But then YouTube Instagram TikTok Facebook and all that sort of stuff actually scheduling them to go out there So yesterday I made four videos. I think one or two of them have gone out and then another two today And then just after my first live stream today Between then and now I've just recorded three Short-form videos and actually put one out on TikTok and scheduled another couple So I'll be doing that doing a few more of those today as well and getting those scheduled out on those other platforms I've really find That ecamm live is great for so many things and it is great for these short-form videos as well So the the TikTok videos and so on I've still not got my head around the the concept Oh, I totally understand the concept of repurposing content I still have not got the idea of repurposing content into my workflow because for me I just do everything without any edits anyway It seems like if I was going to go and spend any time searching through some old bit of content that I'd created to try and look for the bit that I want to cut out and then repurpose it and make it all fine for the Whatever platform it's going on like in a vertical form or something like that It just seems like too much time Whereas I can literally just fire out the the shorts using ecamm really quickly and in fact, let me just quickly Pop in here. I'm sure that you know this Sammy But for the benefit of anybody watching on the replay if I just zoom in here to ecamm If you got to the output, sorry, thank you. Pardon. Let me show you where this is Here you go in the options. So the stream aspect now I'm in 16 by 9 and it's grayed out at the moment because I'm recording But you can just change it to tall and then you basically can create your vertical videos in ecamm live that way So I've created scenes and everything like that in ecamm just as I have for my regular videos So that means that I can create these short form videos And in fact, I've just posted some of these to tiktok. So here is three of them And this is the the first one. I won't necessarily play it as such, but you can see whoops Turn that sound off There you go It's just a scene created exactly as you would create a scene for a regular sort of landscape video But it's now just in vertical. So it's all just ready to go. So in theory, you know a minute long video might take a minute There's always a little bit more than that certainly when I because they're all they're all still sort of tutorial style videos I'm not doing anything particularly different on these short form videos than I am on my regular videos They're still just something but it's something that can be covered in a shorter time So kind of like quick tips and things like that. This one was about the able to adjust the Transparency on your overlays in ecamm just by holding down the shift key and then scrolling your scroll wheel if your scene is unlocked Overlay is unlocked. It does work. I promise. I'll just do that here. There we go So yeah, it's just a little scroll of the wheel a lot of people don't realize you can do that It's not I sort of it's not one of these features that you can find anywhere else without just pressing all the buttons and trying all of the things Which is how I yeah, how I found that out. So Yeah, so that is my yeah, my tiktok videos I've just uploaded those as you can see one is live and one two more have been scheduled Incidentally with tiktok you can actually Schedule videos you don't think you can do it from the desktop or from the mobile app But certainly from the desktop app you can so if you go to sorry the desktop interface on the browser So if you come over to a login to tiktok on the browser and then just click here You've got upload video and so when you click on that You can just basically drag your video over here or select it, but you can just drag and drop it on there You enter your caption up here if you've they'll see I think you can pick the cover here Actually, when you've uploaded it so it'll pick the cover picture that you're going to use Then you can set like public and so on allow users to comment duet stitch And then but here you've got this one schedule video So if you just turn that one on then you can just schedule the time you want to do it So again, I don't think you can do that from the The mobile interface I don't actually know but I don't think you can I can't remember when I looked I couldn't remember seeing it But certainly can schedule it from here So that's how I'm scheduling my videos for tiktok Obviously over in YouTube. I've got a few queued up there So I've got a couple of longer form videos that are scheduled in YouTube and then also I've got these Three short form. It's basically the same videos for tiktok, but I just going to be shorts So I've just basically bulk uploaded them just dragged them in and I haven't added in any information like the thumbnails or the The descriptions or anything like that. So they're all just sitting there at the moment Just coming back then to my my progress chart These are not the ones that have gone out in green, this is like the videos that I've made So I'm hoping that as the days go on this green patch will be getting much much further down as even as we're sort of halfway through I'd like to see most of this all green meaning that I've made the videos So we are just here though at this slot So the next videos to go out are going to be discord video is it is a discord video But I'm just going to make a batch and make all of these discord videos today so that by the time it's due to go out I'll have all of those and the ones for tomorrow ready And then tomorrow I'll start batching up these TubeBuddy videos And then the day after I'll make some of these ones and then some of the stream deck and loop deck So the idea is that as things go forward as I say I'm just sort of building up this This not a backlog. What's the what's the opposite of a backlog a forward log of all of these videos ready to go out and Yeah, we'll see how we get on I do also have some more videos to upload for my e-cam masterclass So the e-cam live masterclass is your online resource to learn all about e-cam live from beginner All the way through to expert and beyond as well. I talk about not just e-cam live but also how to use it with Applications like zoom teams discord and so on but then Also, how you can use this with keynote and PowerPoint to deliver really, you know, exceptional presentations But then also how to use it with things like Loop deck and stream deck as well so that you can have everything controlled with the touch of a button And within each of these sections it's all split up and there's individual sections and videos specifically on You know overlays on working with scenes the different types of overlays all this sort of stuff And they're all individual videos and the reason I've done it that way is that as e-cam live Progresses and develops as it is at a really rapid pace then I can just basically go and update all of these videos So it's you buy it one time But then you get lifetime access for all of the future updates because one of the issues with my YouTube channel is Although I've got 80 videos for e-cam live Some of them have got some parts of them that are out of date So I don't want to take the video down because a lot of it's still relevant But some of it is like I did a four and a half hour video the zero to hero in e-cam live But it was for e-cam live version three point eight and in that one We didn't have you know borders and rounded corners on overlays So I was telling people in that video, you know to go and make Overlays with cutouts in in keynote. Well, we just don't have to do that anymore So the benefit of the e-cam live masterclass is that everything is always up to date with the latest information And you'll always know that it will be your resource for learning e-cam live It comes with a hundred and fifty dollars worth of bonuses and the cost of the course is a hundred and forty seven dollars For as I say lifetime access. So head over to e-cam live masterclass.com and you can check that out today so as well as this content that was a little bit of a Sneaky segue but all of that was to say as well as these videos I haven't got some more videos to make for that And then I'm also in the process of wrapping up some other stuff for my zoom masterclass as well Which the long-awaited zoom masterclass that I've been talking about for some time now But that will also be coming out very soon too. So as well as this content creation, there is all of that going on as well but that is All for me today. These updates are going to be You know rather brief but hopefully I can share a few things along the way as I as I come across them and little Things like that that I'm learning as I'm doing all of this. So hopefully these vlogs will not just be for my my own accountability But also will help some people out as well so great to see you Sammy as always and Congratulations by the way on your your conference that you ran recently and everything that you're doing You're always like an inspiration really for the way that you just tackle everything and get stuck into it.
