 Oh, what? Oh, I was like, what's wrong now? Okay, actually you may want to turn it down just a little bit. Okay Wait for you or for the stream for you Turn yourself down just a little bit like talking to you or on the stream. Oh In general, okay, it was clipping a little bit All right, how about no Hello testing. Oh, hello. Is this okay? Good for me. Okay for the stream to catch up so I can yeah I'm watching an ad about what does a bear market mean for bonds? Oh What does it mean? I don't know. I didn't watch it All right So guys are we sounding okay is it equal on all levels? Because at this point I'm about to go cry in a hole because audio is not fun Talk so they can see the difference. Yes All right, no, I'm listening to you. You're really freaking loud now, but I think we're both about the same Okay. Hey. Hey, audio is a lot of fun, mister. Excuse me I mean it is when you're not doing anything other than Skype or streaming or Oh So those of you guys are new here. This is an awesome microphone It looks really good sounds really good and does really good until you do anything other Than what it's made for if you try and Skype or live stream or anything. It just craps out You can't hear it. It's too freaking quiet on you So now I need like five different microphones for all different things So I want to talk to someone on Skype need this bike Do I need the live stream use this mic? Do I need to run out and boss that like a day after I told you about it It's perfect for everything. I want it for until you call me on Skype. You try to have friends. Yeah friends ruin audio Yep So anyways guys, this is the video critiques where we video critique your videos You just submit them in the comments down below and let us know what video you want us to check out What the title is you can't link it so go ahead and give us some videos to check out Humbly await your pick my liege Well Will do I say it lead is it leisure leech both both sure we'll just pretend that's a thing all right All right, so we're gonna start out with flows. Let's plays because he was actually here before the stream even started and I even announced that we were doing a stream So He was the one that was commenting in the box before even has had it set up So he's been here from before the beginning. Oh, wow Pre-beginning now how do you manage that one? I don't know but that's a thing All right, so any specific video or did he just say he just said check out his channel. Okay, so about you pick a video Oh, it looks like it's in German. So we'll have to Just talk over things Okay Well, I mean he's obviously got one showcased here. There's about a week ago. I don't think that's too long to Show recent comment or the skyrim content. Yeah, TS five skyrim Word Okay, oh Hold on sound is not coming over my Headphones Oh That's not good. There we go. Now. They are the intro wasn't dubstep. So, you know some credit there Yep, so looks templatable though. Oh Well, definitely All right, so I'm gonna go ahead and skip through this a bit Okay That's about 50 seconds he starts talking So the audio doesn't sound bad in my opinion No, I like the audio. I don't understand what you're saying obviously because I'm a dumb American but It does sound good And you know what sad I even took three years of German Did you? Yeah. Wow And you're worse than I am So this whole video is the character customization Oh, it is. Oh, it is. Okay Now, I don't know what the idea is behind there It might be trying to highlight the custom ability of skyrim and how far you could take the characters or something But typically like if this is like episode one of your gameplay of skyrim, I'd recommend against that um Let's watch a different one where we can See the the type of videos he makes Okay, how about one of the last two minecraft or gta? Minecraft or gta? Oh, that's that's a tough one. Um That's been what you've been doing lately gta is the most recent one. So sure while we go with that. Okay Factor That intro though All right, so this is something we commonly see is people playing with friends that don't have as good of an audio setup And this is definitely something in this particular video how you could tell you sound clear There's no like distortion to your voice, but your friend. There's a bit of scratchiness there Might sound like he's using a webcam or something Yeah So that's something that will hinder your growth as a whole It's like if you gotta be doing a lot of stuff with friends You want to make sure that everyone can be here clearly and like there's nothing distracting the viewers That's not terrible, but it could be improved as far as your friend goes I think it's always kind of hard to remember too that the video itself is It's one complete production In the end like you're making one single product to put on your channel Um Anyone that you invite to be a part of it their quality becomes your quality. Yeah So you want to be very careful of that Imagine watching a movie where like the lead actor has a really expensive mic that they use for him And it sounds good, but then the backup like supporting actor has just a cheap like $50 mic And it's super scratchy and doesn't sound good. It's like, okay What's going on here audio you're not supposed to pay much attention to it's supposed to be there to You know like direct the audience and narrate them through the situation But if you're paying attention to the quality of the audio, there's something wrong there So it's supposed to complement not distract So I think that's something everyone really needs to keep an eye on with their videos, especially when playing with friends Mm-hmm. What do you think of the video quality? I can't really tell it looks really fuzzy to me, but I can't tell it that just because I'm watching 720p on like Oh times that resolution. Yeah, does it look like 720? It might be but it doesn't look like it's full quality. It looks like when there's less motion It's a little bit better, but when it starts like speeding up, there's a little bit of like pixelation or Quality lost and that could even be like his export settings Yeah, because see that's what it's kind of seeming like to me. It seems like the game is running fine. The video is recorded fine, but However, you're exporting it. Maybe like the bit rate of the export is too low It's not doing it justice at all Yeah, because it looks like you have the capability to record high quality I think there's just some little setting somewhere that if you tweak it would bring your quality a lot higher Yeah, in fact, can't we see bit rate? So that's for nerds Really? Yep, 1280 by 720 the bit rate of this is uh, I don't know Where do you see that at? Action speed I thought it told you bit rate. Okay. Oh wait, maybe I'm just crazy. Hold on I could have sworn it did All right, you continue to investigate that. Yeah Um Hmm, I don't know and another thing uh, just just to point out. I mean, this is more nitpicking than most but It is also 720p in 30 frames um Again the game that you're playing it It doesn't seem like you're having any issues running the game itself So especially if you're uploading in 720 I would go ahead and just take the extra stuff and make that 720 60 or of course 1080 60 if you can um And I also don't know Like this was uploaded today Yes, so What today six hours ago is it possible that youtube's still processing this? I don't know not if it's already at 720 Okay But yeah, um, I think 60 fps is becoming increasingly More and more important every day it seems. Yeah Um, so I think overall it looks like you have a good description uh tags It looks pretty targeted towards the german market, which Isn't a bad thing because that's what you're speaking Um, it looks like it's all here. There's just little things that you need to tweak Uh, for instance, your friends audio is going to be a big thing And your I if I had to guess it's your export settings are a little bit off um, because like motion seems to kind of Tank the uh overall Clarity of the image Yeah, and that can typically be associated with like bit rate being off for um Exporting motion Yeah motion affecting the picture is most definitely bit rate more specifically It's a cause of improper variable bit rate Um, I don't know what this was edited in whether it was done with premier vegas or All of the above insert x video editor here. Um But you want to be a bit careful when you're using variable bit rate or even constant bit rate Um because it can cause this type of effect, which is very You can make the video which should otherwise be really good quality Make it tank a little bit. Yeah, so overall it's it's not bad We're just kind of pointing out little things that we are seeing that could be improved upon Like uh, you guys are talking through the video your audio sounds good Uh, it's being played smoothly. So it's not like distracting like skipping frames and stuff like that But um quality could be improved just a little bit to take it an extra step higher And I'd recommend looking into those things Even if it's like take like a 10 second motion spot of this and just export it 10 different ways See which one looks best And then which everyone looks best then, you know, that's the settings you need to know if you don't know like all the statistics and You know what you should be using for what just play around with it and see what actually does look best Okay, so he he said uh, vegas pro 13 So we've got a vegas user. Hello. Nice to meet you. I too. I'm a vegas user. Don't mention it to mike. He'll He'll try and slap you. Um I have nothing against you people use it. Yes, you do shush. I have something against me using it You do shush. All right, vegas is very fickle when it comes to bit rate Um, it is one of the many things that I quickly learned about the program mastering bit rate is mastering picture quality um Especially a game like gta 5 that's going to have a lot of motion a lot of action a lot going on Personally, I've never tried recording editing or doing anything gta 5 in vegas. So I can't really say specific to the game, but I can say um as far as like my export settings go for Uh 30 fps at 1080. I usually try to keep the bit rates around like um What would it be 12 million to maximum of 24 million? I don't really know how to describe this because It's not he said that he exports it eight Okay um Yeah, I think eight might be a little bit low I don't I guess considering 720p, but even still I don't know for my experience with bit rate There's sort of this magical threshold that you have to try and find Um, you don't want it too low or it looks like crap, but you also don't want it too high Otherwise youtube will make it look like crap um If you make it too high of it regardless of what bit rate you make it youtube will take that bit rate And squash it down to match what it thinks is appropriate So if you make it too high youtube will squash it down to its standards now The higher the bit rate however the better Base picture quality you're going to get so you're going to be rid of A lot of the blurriness and the pixelization that you get from motion And that's what you want to try to find is you want to make it high enough to get rid of that motion Artifacting but not so high that youtube forces it to look bad Yeah, I'm watching his minecraft one. It actually looks really good Yeah, see no, that's what I was saying. I think my Suspecting I'm saying that gta 5 is just a very high action game with an improper bit rate Which is what's causing it to look like that. Yeah minecraft being a much more You know, there aren't a lot of colors to be rendered. There's not a lot of pixel density. It's a lot more It's a lot more easier for a For a program to render out. Yeah Um But yeah, I think that pretty much covers that there's just little tiny things he could do to improve And then I mean, I guess also we could point out I think english is a higher market of youtube than german so that might be something to consider in the future But yeah, I I can't really comment on that. I'd be interested in seeing the demographics to see what percentage of youtube is what Yeah So, yeah, let's go ahead and grab a new channel okay Someone comment his videos seem very good except for the fact I can't understand him So that that seems to be kind of cross the board here. They seem really high quality. We just Don't know what you guys are saying Yeah All right Gem. Oh mine. We're gonna go with him He says it'd be cool if you guys checked out my channel always looking for tips to improve Okay There is the channel And guys I am featuring these and the description. So if you refresh you'd be able to see Everyone that we're featuring So that's now in there as well I do like Oh wait, is it dem or gem? I think it's gem. Okay. Yeah, it's it's gem. Wait, there's it wait. Oh, yeah, that is a j Yeah, that looks like a d with the font Yeah, that really threw me off for a second. I was like wait demo mine. What's that? I was I was about to say I like the play on words with the uh the title here like your channel name Yeah It's it's interesting, but it's also memorable because it's different it stands out from the rest So I like that I will point out though that your font does make it look like it says demo mine instead of gem Um There's something that could be done to change that to be a little bit more j like even if you just edit down That white section just a tad So it has some uh difference there. I know that's not your fault, but uh Whoever created the font there. They should Look at that a little bit more See uh britney and the related channels over there. Oh really? Yeah Huh, oh, yeah, she is there Brittany I see I see emily. I see mark. I don't know who any of these other people are but the war owl Yeah, all right. Well anyways, um first video I see here is a vlog of which also mentions pre-ordered oculus rift So, um, I am very very sorry, but welcome to the age of virtual reality. I'm sure your checkbook is crying Um as many of ours are So, um Should go and watch that one or it looks like he is primarily gaming. Yeah Yeah, maybe more So what game would you prefer undertale splinter cell? Portal, okay, I can't watch it because I haven't played undertale Firstly portals like one of my favorite games that ever existed. So All right, let's watch part one. All right. Yeah learning the basics so we can't jump into an episode all the way through Part So I I like how the webcam animates in at the beginning. Yeah, that's creative You don't normally see that The facecam quality looks good the game quality looks good so far Audio could be improved a little bit, but it's not like distracting Interesting facecam kind of disappears there for the transition So just from that, I'm assuming you take the facecam out for cutscenes Which portal actually doesn't have a lot of cutscenes, which is why I really like it So I will point out that I like the fact that you're actually using the facecam A lot of people use facecam and they just use it to show their face But like, you know, you're dancing in it. You're showing that you're happy You're talking to the viewers And you're actually using it for what it's for So that that's an awesome start there with that. Let's go ahead and skip forward when there's some Action yeah portal takes a little bit to get started. Yeah It's one of those games like when you have to get through all the tutorials and everything to get started I gotta give GLaDOS like five minutes to be sarcastic and then you can start the video game Very true Have you played this game? I have You have it's an awesome game. You played both of them. Mm-hmm. Okay Just making sure I couldn't be your friend if you didn't What's portals No, I've had people they're like, yeah, I've played portal two never played the first one I made a couple uh portal comedy sketches, too Oh, that's right. Yeah, duh, of course you did. Okay So, oh that was really cool. Wait, which one? Okay, I'm skipping through it He like went into the elevator and then when it closed he like did a uh fade transition to when it opens So it's like you didn't have to sit and wait through the elevator It sort of closed and then opened smart. That was yeah, that was actually really cool um, yeah little things like that where you can uh Slow or speed up the process of the video a little bit Yeah, it's very good use of editing transition there Oh, it is a 1080p 60 frames Is it? Mm-hmm. Okay. Hmm. I Hmm. I I can't help but say like it doesn't quite seem like the game is running in a full 60. Mm-hmm Um, it's not choppy either though, which is no, it's not choppy. Yeah, that's why I didn't catch it Yeah, I just saw it was uploaded in it. So huh Just know if you if you're not able to record in 60 or you're not recording in 60 And you don't have to edit in 60. It's not a requirement for youtube Uh, and also another thing you have to actually set your video recorder to capture in 60 Mm-hmm. So it his face cam looks 60 Is it I think so I hmm I've looked at 60 fps video footage for so long. I actually can't tell anymore. Yeah You really tell what the the motion of it? Yeah See, I think the weird part about 60 fps video footage is that If you make the video and record it in solid 60 you can really tell But if you record the video In 60 fps and the game like drops below 60 fps Mm-hmm. It's like you really notice it a lot more than if you just Put it in 30 fps. Does that make sense? Oh, yeah Like it's it's more of a it's more of a noticeable feature than if you're just uploading 30 fps to begin with So So as far as improvements on the channels or anything You'd like to point out I mean I'd I don't notice anything that really stands out is I mean, yeah, there's always room for improvement. I think as you said, I think the audio could be a little bit better. Mm-hmm um I think maybe Maybe possibly a computer upgrade could be around the corner just because if I Not to not to say much, but you know if the original portals having a little bit of trouble running at 60 that's You know, I I can't imagine what something like portal 2 or any other game would do so Might be worth looking to invest in a better video card at some point um Yeah, no, I think the editing is pretty solid. Mm-hmm. I think the facecam quality is really good. I think the video quality is Um, I mean again frame rate improvements, but as far as the quality itself, it's really good. It's not distracting to watch Yeah I mean, I just noticed it because I'm being really picky and I know what 60 fps looks like but Now I think the biggest thing with me that I'm noticing it it may be you it may not um But sometimes you see people who do gameplay commentary and they kind of overreact in different things And to kind of like be more funny or be more entertaining um I I can't tell if that's actually you or not, but I kind of got a little bit of just of um Overreaction a little bit and some of it like it didn't seem as natural As it would have been if it was actually you like with your friends Now I could be completely wrong because I haven't watched much of your videos, but Is a common issue I see in youtubers is people Not being themselves And it's perfectly okay to be yourself. So whether that is you or not be you that's the biggest You know point of being a youtuber is to be you and represent yourself for who you are so um I think that's good knowledge in a general sense too. You know, even if Even if it's not entirely true to you it is good General knowledge and information to tell people, you know, you don't need to jump on camera and act Yeah, um the way I always look at it on the way I've always done it is I tend to kind of take my my personality And it's sort of like an exuberant amplification Of your personality. So it's like don't exaggerate your personality. Don't try to act like someone else But it's okay to take your personality and your features and really really Hammer down on it and stress it and put on a show for the audience Yeah Yeah, so as long as you're comfortable doing that and it's something you would do Like like for instance, what what's you on an energy drink? You know Me anybody like they typically get like, you know, a little bit more talkative I was gonna say you don't want to see that I have a problem like actual problem with sugar and I can't drink caffeine so You don't want to see that But yeah, um, I think that would be the biggest thing to point out with your channel If that is actually you then heck, yeah, I keep on going for it But there were a couple points where it just kind of seemed Not fully natural. It seemed a little bit forced Now it's a good thing that you're you know acting out and trying to Add a little bit more to the commentary and do stuff on the webcam But there's a point that you don't need to cross if that's crossing your own boundaries So I think that'd be the one thing to keep in mind. Just be yourself be happy and uh Have fun doing it You still hear me? Yep. Okay. I just gotta No, I'm still just kind of I just got a notification saying something disconnected. I was like, I hope that wasn't my mic So yeah, uh overall really good channel I think you are heading in the right way and you have a lot of good running behind your channel There are just little nitpicky things that we have to point out when we can't see anything else to talk about Cool, well, let's grab the next channel All right Enjoy that oculus rift. Oh, yeah, you guys can play games together. Oh, and that is the other thing I should I should mention that too. How long ago two weeks ago was portal. Okay um Again, if if your computer is kind of struggling with the original portal um oculus rift Ain't gonna happen uh Really ain't gonna happen so Definitely, uh Again, they want to look into some computer upgrades if you have not already so Anyways, all right. Well, that's my closing thought What the fact you might sorry, huh the weather. Is it good snowy? No, actually, it's there's no more snow here Ah, there's snow everywhere here All right I'm interested in this one. Could one of my videos get a critique my top 10 most anticipated games for 2016 Just saw that one. Yeah It's one of the first people we had that actually told us the name of the video to watch so Okay Yeah Well, to be fair, I don't feel like we emphasize that too much. Well, we say it each time we ask for channels, but Yeah All right It's not as much as like, you know, put nor in the title or we don't All right, so this is the top five most anticipated games of 2016 is now in the description So if you guys refresh it'll be there And let's go ahead and check it out It's these stars here bringing you guys yet again another youtube video In today's video, I will be counting down my most my top five most anticipated games of First off, um, I checked your description and there's nothing about the particular games and stuff I would like to see like, you know, like links to seeing like each game more in detail So like maybe you could even know like where to purchase it or if you had like a sponsorship But like game fly or something you could actually like directly I feel like a lot of people don't do that So that people don't come to their video check the descriptions see the top five most anticipated games and then ignore the video Yeah, I mean I've noticed that to actually be a very common thing that videos like this will do you can put like number one And then link number two so you have to watch the video to see what they are Yeah, I guess I guess you just don't click it, but Oh No man's sky. Okay. Yes. I Oh, I'm so excited for this game So The video so far is really intriguing and fun to watch But um, the one thing that's standing out is the audio. It's not up to par. Yeah, I was gonna say So There's not much you could do to improve the microphone setup you have it sounds like I think it's time to Think about upgrading to the next microphone Is that why you have some options there because some people they'll have a microphone that's like scratchy or you know It's not loud enough and you could do things to work around that and prove that but this one kind of seems like it's met its prime Yeah, this This kind of sounds like a headset microphone This does not in any way sound like a standalone microphone. Yeah kind of a rule of thumb I wouldn't ever recommend a headset mic for anyone who wants to record Yeah They're good for talking with your friends, but they're really just not At all adequate for doing production like this Yeah, I mean you can get a cheap condenser mic The one I'm using is not very much money The other one I tried using before was like 20 bucks The one you said oh, that sounds okay. Could be improved, but it's all right Who was it um A friend of mine Had the Okay, I'll just say it barden. There you go. Shout out to barden freedom stream. Okay. Go check him out. He's awesome um, he actually mentioned to me a couple times when he started doing youtube the microphone he used was a Either guitar hero or rock band mic I am not kidding. Yeah, things are like Five dollars and they sound amazing Yeah, it Like he showed me a couple videos that he had first done On the early stages of his channel using a guitar hero microphone And I was sitting there going no no, you're kidding me. I hate you. This can't sound that good Yeah, so You know when when you're in this type of spot where All you have access to would be Um, again, I don't know if this is a headset mic for a fact, but it kind of sounds like it So I'm going to assume it is when you're in the situation like this Where all you have is a headset microphone And maybe you don't have the finance to go out and and pay upwards to 100 to 200 for a really good studio microphone um Five to 10 bucks for a rock band or guitar hero mic that sound phenomenally better than this I highly recommend um It's just it's stupid how good of an option it is Also, there's a text thing on the video that says activate windows Do you see that? Oh crap. I didn't notice that. Yeah, so you might want to do that Activate windows go to settings activate windows. Um Yeah, that'd be recommended that you activate your copy of windows Yeah, uh I even noticed that through the whole thing and that's kind of weird that it's Is that yeah, I was almost trying to think is that the video or is that Yeah, I was like, wait, do I need to activate my windows? And I was like, yeah But no, it comes in and out of different things. So that's that's interesting But no when I first started videos, I started out with the karaoke mic Yeah, they're so good and I would get it. It was like from one of those little uh I like Barbie like MP or karaoke machines and it has The purple little boombox you put your CD in and you sing into it. I just stole that from my uh step sister You start using the mic with all my videos Yeah But yeah, overall, I I think you have good potential and you have the ability to make solid videos here And they're visually intriguing But the biggest thing is just once you get a better microphone, that's going to really just take your channel so much further Um, he says he recorded the Uh, he recorded the video or the footage and he doesn't know how to get rid of the text. Well I would assume The reason is because you haven't activated your copy of windows Um, so you may want to go look up on google how to activate windows or give microsoft a call Or something and say hey, mm-hmm help. I need to activate my windows Um Yeah, that's odd. I'm not real sure. Yeah All right time for our next one omg, it's james play and omg. It's guppy says we have beef bro What Stay they have similar names Do you remember omg? It's james play. Yep, send you a link Maybe no, I'm not He's guppy here. Yeah, that's he typed it in the comments. Okay Let's read in the comments now Not starting any beef Schwarzenegger plays call of duty You should make a video james play versus guppy and just make it a giant like battle scene You just fist to cuffs each other. There you go. All right So, yes, uh, again, we've featured him in the comment or the description down below So if you guys want to watch it with us feel free And now we're going to watch Schwarzenegger play some Minecraft. Okay You mean call of duty? Yeah, sorry. I just read Minecraft on the screen On air. What's that about? Let me get you Don't know So One of the things that I'd say like this is it's funny and it's entertaining to see your your friend doing the voices and stuff There's a severe loss of momentum In it Like it got going and it's like, oh, you know, I'm enjoying this and then there's just this blatant pause Mm-hmm Where nobody says anything for about 10 seconds and then something said and then there's a pause for like 20 seconds for like the loading or something Yeah Yeah, and it just it loses momentum really quickly. So I think some Some edit work could be done there to sort of chop out the parts where nobody's saying anything Yeah, it's okay. They added out dead silence, especially on a like montage video. It's already chopped up Yeah But what I was gonna say in regards to this like, you know, this is a funny video and there is like funny moments in it But you don't need to It's okay to also jump in there and use your own voice because this is your channel people are here for you Not your friends Having friends with you that are entertaining always helps but when it's your channel Don't be afraid to like stand up and speak as well. So you both can be heard Um It's like I I know when I first started like I'd hang out with my friends I just let them do all the talking I'd record it Um, and it took me a while to get comfortable enough to also talk But it's something you just kind of have to get past and just be yourself and Also speak up so people are able to hear you on your own channel personally, I think doing like duo commentaries or commentaries with multiple people is It's really difficult. It is I've I've had a lot of people come up to me and they say, you know Oh, I'm just not good at solo commentary. I much prefer to commentate with other people and It's kind of, you know, I can understand that that commentating by yourself Takes you out of your comfort zone But I feel like inviting a friend to do something it just it almost makes you Or at least to me I mean it almost takes you even more out of your comfort zone Because you you have these situations where you're pretty much inadvertently telling your friend. Okay, shut up. I'm talking You know, it's like you have to be Forceful with your voice. You have to push ahead of everyone else talking as well But you can't you don't want to talk over each other at the same time, which is It's a very common problem. I see. Yeah, it's an art form Yeah, it actually takes a lot of work Yeah, it's taken me several years to actually get comfortable talking with people and being able to Still be myself that I am in my normal videos with other people Yeah And something I've also noticed is you really have to The people that you invite you really have to make sure they all Have the same mindset of when someone else is talking don't talk It's just it's such a big problem. I've noticed that I mean even I myself I'm incredibly guilty of doing this where someone else is saying something and you really want to like Get out this joke or get out this comment So you you speak up over them and they're trying to say something you're like no shut up I'm being funny shut up So I'm not saying that that's a problem for this video. I'm just saying like this is more general knowledge that when you're playing with people It's very important to understand these types of things. Oh, how is your your byway? So One one last thing real quick Your your audio it sounds good, but it also sounds quite Um, even I said something comparison like between you and your friend your friend's louder than what you are Um, so it's okay to to boost your voice and make it prominent over the game because again, this is your channel That's what's carrying everything. That's why people are here so But yeah, um Is is this the video that he specifically sent? Yeah Okay, because I I don't know personally I think it's a little bit difficult to tell Who you are as a person from playing this just because you know, again, it's your friends that seem to be the main focus here Yeah, that's why I was saying it's okay to speak up and Do more there when instead of relying solely on your friends And you may not even be relying on them. It could just be like, you know, we were talking earlier You don't have a chance to speak or you are finding opportunity moments to speak up Yeah I also just have to um Real quick mention Um Like I know it's the video that's pure critique, but you know, I was kind of taking a look at um, what do you what do you think of the thumbnails? Because I've actually never seen anyone do this before Um Oh Hmm Yeah, there's nothing that really differentiates them like they're all exactly the same except for the text Um, I would not recommend doing this at all Yeah This it's very confusing and very difficult to tell What videos what? Mm-hmm It's a cool idea and consistency is good for branding But like even if this was like your logo if you like deleted the background put like an image from like a screenshot from the game Or something like so that way you can know that this one's call of duty. This one is life life is strange Just little things you could start Seeing this because like if I saw this pop up, I think could be a minecraft video and uh I don't even know Yeah, there's no minecraft on your channel So if I saw that in the search results and I was looking for call of duty I'd probably skip over it because I'm not going to take the time to read the text So you'd typically go image first and then read the text For like extra assurance that you want to watch that video So you typically scroll through real quick watch for something that catches your eye read it If you like what it says then click it So keep that in mind when you're making your thumbnails there consistency is good But too much consistency is bad But yeah, lastly in regards to that video it was a fun video It was enjoyable to watch We think uh some editing to tighten it up a little bit and get out those dull moments in the beginning Where no one was talking that would be beneficial And uh, don't be afraid to speak up agreed And he asked if he could upload part of this on his channel for the show. Yeah, I don't see Why not? No, my voice is copy written You get a copyright strike derpy thunder But no, yeah, it it's live it's for everyone. It's not for us. Yeah All right How about some farming simulator? What Yep farming simulator He said to check out his farming simulator video. It's only two minutes and 41 seconds. That was his pitch All right That's a pretty good pitch I like farming. Well, I don't like it necessarily, but it's a fun game to watch. There we go I've never seen it. That's why I was interested. You've never seen farming simulator I'll like critique or call of duty videos, man All right Okay fair enough So this is iced clan farming simulator 15 Now the intro Uh, it's really cool to see like you're sponsored by these people and stuff like that But I don't think it needs to take up the first 15 seconds of your video. Yeah Um The intro is kind of interesting where you have the title in the game there Um, I think that would be okay to have in the intro but then go into Your gameplay since there's no like music carrying it or cut to the beat or anything like that Um, if it was just like a quick flash show on that that would work But then at the end then you could do like your sponsor bisexual or put it in the description or Something like that And this be my form So I'm trying to figure out what the Purpose of the video is I'm assuming this is just farming simulator gameplay. I don't know if this is Like necessarily showing how to do something or This is just gameplay I think it's gameplay. Yeah I like the the voiceover and stuff with it. Yeah At first I thought it was him like acting but I was starting to think that that's his actual Accent to his to a extent. I Will admit I thought the same thing too, but now that I'm watching it. I don't know I I want to watch another one real quick Let me I'm gonna watch the latest one real quick and get back to that Sorry, this one doesn't have any voice Jesus What happened? Oh, he's just okay. So this one was the only one that I'm sitting with voice Is it I mean the voice sounds really like hi, I mean the microphone sounds good It sounds like I like the voiceover. I yeah Like forgive our ignorance. I can't really tell if that is your natural voice and accent I mean, I like it. I really do if it is then Yeah Let's see if you if you mentioned gameplay with a bit of a joke Like I'm wondering if it's like an exaggeration of your accent Possibly Regardless though, it's fun. It's exciting to watch um, it Bill like adds an extra level to your videos He said we do have other videos with commentary, but we don't do commentary all the time Okay So There I think you you saw the part with like, yeah, it's a big yellow Okay, um I don't know Yeah, I feel like I have to see some of your other videos to get like a a better idea Yeah, that's kind of what I'm looking for right now. I because this one kind of seems like My normal accent is in our clan showcase video. Okay So that one kind of seems like it acted out video to me kind of like a skit Which It is good. I was just curious to see what your normal videos are like so I can get a rough idea Um, he said the clan Disappeared clan showcase clan showcase I see like two hour long clan streams I think it's this one Uh, we might want to show off your ghoul come all you diamond come alls or So, yeah, it does seem like an exaggerated version of that Okay, so yeah, it's it's over exaggerated No, he does still yeah, he does still definitely have that uh That tone of voice on it It also seems like you've upgraded your microphone since this too. Mm-hmm so I think the biggest thing because like everything looks Good, it's more so just kind of determining what you actually do Um, now, I know this is a clan page. So it's like probably made up of a few different people And there's different types of material on here um But one of the biggest things with channels is the person connecting with The Uh creator the viewer connecting with the creator. They're able to put a face to put a voice put An idea behind the channel. That's what keeps them coming back If it's just a clan that's uploading things There's not a lot there to connect and uh Keep on wanting to come back for it because they know they're going to get this um No, I haven't watched all your videos There might be more of that here like these clan videos might just be like really awesome Gameplay from this Call of Duty video Now if that's the case, you know, that would be the reason why people come but just the few videos that we've checked out Uh, I think there needs to be a little bit more depth to the channel to start organizing and Keeping viewers around for more mm-hmm I'm the very short videos which is nice, but It just seems like the purpose of the video is so So small audience So so niche. I don't know what what word do you want to use there? But it's like it doesn't really apply to a large group of people that would allow a huge audience to come and view this type of stuff Now like the farming simulator one that was fun to watch and it was engaging and I think if your channel had like Depth to it had viewers coming back for more and then you just uploaded that like slapped them in the face of this funny video It would be good, but without knowing you and knowing what you normally do It's hard to harder to connect with So like I'm watching You know this this call of duty video or just is a nicely edited Um video of like the different kills and stuff you guys have got as a clan And it does look good, but it looks more so like A portfolio of your guys's work as a clan. It doesn't look like much of A channel to attract new viewers to come check out It looks just like a place where you're showing all the cool things you guys have done And the different things you guys are able to do Which is a good thing in itself, but if you're wanting to attract a larger audience I think you need to start thinking more about The viewer I guess instead of like the business person that you're trying to get sponsored by Would you agree with that? Yeah, no, definitely. That's It's like everything's made nicely and it's Like I'm watching the the call of duty one. It's it's edited really nicely. I did the beat has decent music It's not just dubstep You know slow-mo shots here and there to do like Emphasize on different trick shots or trick attacks that they've done And it's nice, but it looks like something you'd send to like A gaming company to get a sponsorship Um, there might be a market for this stuff on youtube. I don't watch call of duty videos personally, but I feel like on a greater scheme of things, especially if you're doing more than just call of duty on your channel You start thinking about like what can I do to attract new people? What can I do to keep them around and what can I do to Have them connect with us as a clan Yeah Which is hard because that's a really unique niche because that's kind of the the vibe I'm getting from this is This is a channel that's made for members of the clan to watch and I you have channels out there admittedly that did start that way um I think uh Yogscast for me the first thing that comes to mind a channel that was built for the purpose of just a bunch of friends watching and and Messing about which turned into something but I definitely think it's worth You know trying to expand on the videos a bit Yeah, because everything is it's really nicely put together. It is it is And there's a lot of potential there. I just think if you took a little bit more time to uh Include the viewer I could take your channel so much further Yeah That's the only real thing I could point out improvement wise like I I don't know I don't have much to say it's uh I do like it. Yeah, it's just I I've kind of said my main criticism and that's It's not it feels very shallow audience to me It'd be like having a skateboard channel where you just show like, you know some cool tricks that you do each day You know like that's that's cool to see and it's fun to watch But like what would bring a viewer there? um There has to be something that sets you apart from the rest of the skateboarders out there because everyone can do a kickflip Um every skateboarder at least that's known for being a skateboarder. Uh, I can't do a kickflip but You know like like tech deck thing Yeah, but like, you know if you took the time to do like a wednesday q&a or something with the clan or you know just something more with it to Bring a little bit more to the channel and to the viewership relationship with you guys I think that could take you guys an extra step I do like to see that you're live streaming a lot. Um That's that's a very good platform for trying to get more viewers um, which I assume is done on the youtube gaming platform so You know that that is a very good way to bring in more people It's just you need something on your channel that can You know the people that are interested will go there see it and want to stay Yeah, which I think is the biggest problem that this channel has right now Yeah, I think that pretty much covers that Overall really good. Just need to think a little bit more about what direction you want to take the channel Mm-hmm cool Well, uh, we have time for a couple more. I think two more channels What does this have to do with the freedom network? This is freedom critiquing your channels so It's also on the freedom network. Yeah and reviewing freedom partners. I don't know. Maybe it has nothing to do with freedom Yeah, it doesn't it's just me drinking tea on camera. Yep I'd be eating donuts if I hadn't left All right um Next brad rt. I've seen him pop up a few times Yeah, he said call of duty trolling Oh my all right, so might as well do another call of duty one Pistof scotsman All right, what's that? I also saw someone say he's been here from the beginning so Yeah, I've kind of been looking at the chat he has All right, he is now in the description if you guys go there you could check that out as well What why is there a star in the title mic? That's not a letter What what does a p-star off scotsman mean? Oh It was like you mean in the live shrinks. I have a star in that too Oh Okay, all right So that intro I kind of like it It like sets it up that you know, it's gonna be something funny. I guess It doesn't start off feeling serious that kind of sets the tone for the whole video just that little two second Or one second clip Not even one second So I like when people take the extra step to put like text on screen. Yeah, I was about to say I like the subtitles That's a nice touch especially for these comedy style of videos It it adds another level to it of both effort put into it quality and just Yeah, really, I'm ensuring that people know what you're saying. I'm far too lazy to do that So I I always appreciate it when people do that. Yeah I don't think enough people realize how difficult it is. Yeah, just to make there's no program that does this people There's no magic button you push and it says oh you said the word the we're gonna put the on the screen Nope, you go through your video you put every word Or like that little part here where you put like 10 different images on screen like in a short Or You know little section Like he had to google five different images there and then make five different title screens for one sentence Okay, so I think the outro is uh Like it really caught me off guard like the music popping up in the outro significantly louder than the video So I think volume equalization is a big thing. I'm noticing here is a little difficult to Hear you or hear really anything that's going on. Yeah What I like to try and do your voice should be Much louder than the game audio and much louder than the game music So that way you could be heard over top of it all But then at the end of the video you could turn up your outro music to the same level that your voice is at So that way it's not Significantly louder and that way your viewers don't have to turn down the video or turn up the video or anything like that You just flip flop the audio from one to the other so that way it's not too loud and you could still have a nice Fun outro clip. Yeah Unless you're building a screamer Which case you uh, just want to maximum gain everything at random points Um And then put a big spooky face up on screen Sorry about that That's it. It's not okay, but I'll learn to forgive you How's Nora? She's all right good, I think Just uh, shove her out of the room again. Yeah, she uh, I was had some stuff sitting in the shower that was uh Cleaning and she opened up the door and went in there. I was a little bit worried that she was gonna drink as a crap Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah All right Overall, I think this is a nicely made And produced video The biggest thing is audio equalization so that way you can hear yourself over the audio Or out over the music and then at the end like what Brandon was saying not too loud And if you did that, I think it'd be pretty solid. Maybe some more tags considering you have tag in your tags um What are the tags it's call of duty trolling call of duty trolling tag tag putting Wow Yeah, you are putting tag in the tags That's props for that although. I don't know how well that's gonna help Yeah And then you could benefit from a bigger description add some links in there link back to your social media Uh, put some information about the video you're watching so that all Takes a place and I like that you have a call to action in the description But yeah, I definitely need some information about what the video is about what's going on Maybe some social media links and the sort. Yeah Yep, but um Yeah, overall, I think that's pretty good. Yeah overall. I like it. Good luck on 200. Yeah All right, so we have time these friends with visual na. Okay. I got it now That's that's why they both were sitting in the chat the entire time I saw I saw visual na saying to watch his stuff several times. I was like, oh Someone said please show the dog Okay Wait the dog. Oh, okay. Yeah, hold on. I have to go. I have to go get on the stream now. So come here God, I actually I actually have to open up the stream. Mike. Come on. What is this? This is Nora She has her own channel on youtube you can critique her channel I'm back Hi Hi All right, so guys we have one last Person that we can critique What? Huh? What? Oh, I'm just You're gonna gain like 60 viewers just from putting animals on the screen. Oh, yeah All right works. Yep I'm looking for someone to feature for the last person Nora is bae We should do like a A um, oh, why can't I think of the word crap brain teaser whoever gets it right gets her a few What's two plus two? No You don't want to get spammed with four Even though the answer is obviously five but people don't know that I could say what's one plus one over says 11 Um Anyways, I don't know I don't want to pick stuff you pick stuff I'm trying to see something that's not copy and paste everyone's putting forward All right, what what could we include for something to make it not copy and paste Um First time was derpy thunder then was Nora now is what Oscar keep the trend going Okay, and Yeah, let me get them Put mic is bae Your comment must have mic is bae in all caps for us to choose you. No Yes, all right So oscar is gonna critique the last video so you have to ask oscar to critique your video and the comment Or else we cannot pick you Don't look like look here comes the mic is bae Look Nope, we already agreed upon oscar He's doing the hard work on the last one. You're the one that you're the one that changed my idea. Come on mic You said that we should keep the list going. I yeah, I said oscar first, but then I then I told nope We're a we're a team here mic. You can't just veto what I say Well, there's someone that did both At least both. Yeah Oh Who's that? Mic is bae and please oscar Okay, all right, why not zombie panther Okay, there you go These final moments is final stretch it's like Interesting everyone's hanging on for dear life All right, he's now in the description so you could check him out there and He said battlefield three or black ops three. Okay another black ops Okay, all right fine. It's okay. Oh, okay. That's a nice intro black ops three um All right What All right oscar, come on you can sit I don't know what am I watching I like the shirt transition Yeah We are playing or I am playing black ops three as you know, so what's Kinamaster or kind master is that an editor? Yeah Yeah, that's a video editor. I did a tutorial the other day over Lightworks, which is a free editor and you're uploading in 720 already It allows you to upload in 720 without watermarks So I'd recommend looking gameplay is recorded with pointing a camera at the tv So um So I appreciate the effort here to try and record the game But the fact of matter is there's no good way to record your tv It doesn't matter how expensive the camera is it doesn't matter You know what You have set up or all I mean there's good ways, but there's no good way with the camera. That's what I'm getting at Yeah So I liked the Before when you were like talking to the camera and you were Having fun and doing the different editing effects and stuff I feel like that has potential for stuff, but Unfortunately this being watermarked and being With uh, you know just recording your television. There's not much There's you can't really take that that far until you get better equipment So Can say like I uh I don't know what I watched but That is how you grab someone's attention So, you know, definitely big props to that. Yeah. Yeah You know like you as a commentator you as someone a youtube personality like there's a lot of potential there um, but maybe you're looking in the wrong area right now if This is the only equipment you have Um, you're already comfortable talking to a camera obviously So what if you did more with that because you already have the equipment to do this and make it look You know decent. It's a good start um, or you know even just ask for a screen recorder A game capture device for Christmas or for your birthday or Something to be able to record that so then you can keep on doing these type of videos um Because it does have potential if it was recorded well Yeah, it's like I'm actually even though it's it's Like if I was to look away and then listen to it, it'd be fun a fun video for me But watching it it does hurt my eyes a little bit. Yeah, I will say it's like it's Again, the effort is there It is decent considering you you just pointed a camera at a tv This is probably the best recording of a tv i've seen But like the fact will never Outlive itself that Recording the tv with a camera just won't work. Mm-hmm. It will not work Not on the fullest extent. Yeah, not not well anyways um So capture card is definitely a must if this is a computer, which I'd be really surprised if it were Then you know some sort of recording program what okay? What is kind master? I it's a video editor Okay, so that is what it's edited in And yeah, I'd recommend taking mike's advice looking into light works and that type of stuff Yeah, there's plenty of free editors out there that are good My personal favorites light works because it's similar to any of the top editing systems out there In fact, it's actually been used for a lot of big name movies So the issue is it has a higher learning curve because it is a professional editing software. So that's why people often uh Like, you know stray away from it But for being free it's about as powerful as you can get for free Do they have a like premium version of that? Mm-hmm. Yeah, if you pay for it you get um, you're able to upload You know 4k or whatever it but right now it caps you at 720p for free But you can do like 16 layers of video 16 layers of audio. You can You know, well, yes, whatever you want writes. Okay. Yeah, and you will probably never use 16 layers of audio in your life Yeah, unless you're doing sound effects. Yeah considering 720p video footage that's actually recorded using The game or capture card or whatever is going to look a lot better than just pointing the camera at it So, you know, I wouldn't worry too much about quality loss in that sense Yeah, I mean you're already uploading in 720 right now. So Oh, is it okay? Yeah Um, but no, I think your channel has a lot of potential. I like your comedy style I like the effort put into the videos Just the biggest thing is either find a way to get a capture card Or find a different source of video so you could keep on showcasing your Um, your energy your style your personality, but without hindering yourself due to quality Yeah So if you change those little things, I think you'd have a nice foot in the right direction You'd have a pretty successful youtube channel So, yeah, um I think that'd be the biggest thing just check that out look into that or Do more vlog style stuff Yeah, no I I do I do like the vlog aspect of it. Yeah. Yeah, but like the audio of the gameplay was fun to listen to so even that, you know, it's It's it's good. It's just there's a little bit more that needs to happen Yeah But yeah Anyways guys, that was our last channel.
