How to Make Youtube Videos with Windows Movie Maker
To properly create, edit, and upload videos to YouTube is
not a difficult process once you do it. Recording the footage, editing it, and
uploading it to YouTube can be simple and easy once streamlined. Hopefully the
information in this article allows you to streamline this process faster than
normal.
First off, you need to record the footage. To do this, I use
a the Nikon COOLPIX S550 digital camera. It has a great picture, captures sound
really well, has zoom options, and is a great bargain at around $150. If you
don’ t have a camera currently, you can use a webcam (not recommended) or buy a
flip-camera for $100 or so. The most important thing to consider is the whether
or not what you want to use has a microphone – that is essential. Once you have
the equipment, go to a quiet place. Look directly at the camera, speak clearly,
and be yourself! Being yourself is the most powerful marketing tool there is.
People are drawn to genuineness. Then record your footage and transfer it from
the recording device to a folder on your computer.
After the footage is recorded, I edit it using Windows Movie
Maker. Windows Movie Maker is standard on PC’s that have Windows Vista. If you
don’t have Windows Movie Maker, many free video editing programs exist. If you
Google “free video editing software” you will find a ton of them. I will be
writing this article with Windows Movie Maker in mind, however I’m sure most
other editors will have similar functions.
Finally, uploading the video to YouTube is the next step. I
recommend you create a YouTube channel if you are going to be uploading many
videos as it makes it really easy to keep them organized. If not, just upload
it and copy down the URL.
Steps to Uploading a Video to YouTube are as follows:
1.
The first thing you will need to do is have a
google or YouTube account (if you don’t go to youtube and create one quick –
it’s easy to do).
2.
The second step is to log into youtube.
3.
Once logged in, there is a big yellow “upload”
button at the far right underneath your sign in name and the ‘sign out’ button.
4.
Once clicked, it will take you to the Video File
Upload screen. When you get there, click on the yellow button that says “Upload
Video”.
5.
Once you click it, a browser will open up for
your computer. Find the video you want to upload, and click open.
*A few things to remember: There
is a progress bar in YouTube that shows you how much of the video is uploaded.
If your video keeps getting unknown errors, turn this off.
Essentially that is the process
for uploading videos to YouTube. While not difficult to figure out, if you
record the footage, edit it properly, and upload it to YouTube you will have a
very successful channel! For more tutorials and “how-to” articles and videos,

road_2_success!

Absolutely. Just save the recording as an AVI or MPEG and then load it into Windows Movie Maker and edit from there. Of course, Camtasia provides some nice editing tools as well.

Re: Poll: Video Marketing Online, Do you use it?
- Here's the key: get started!
My first videos were pretty bad - they were shaky, the lighting was terrible, I was nervous.
And they slowly got better.
I researched a better camera, I picked up some better lighting, and with practice my deliver got better as well.
I started off using Windows Movie Maker. Then I used a combination of Movie Maker and Camtasia. Now I outsource everything through oDesk.
My old video as almost embarrassing as I look back on them but if I didn't get started with those I wouldn't be where I am today.
Get started!
Re: Create your own small business reality show
- [quote="ideasuniversity":3runjswv]You can create your own video with camtasia about your product or use the free camstudio. Just do a brief presentation of your company with Microsoft power point and record it with camstudio and turn it into flv file.[/quote:3runjswv]
If you are a beginner Windows Movie Maker is good enough, I used it for personal videos, birthdays and school so why not on business, but it is not on my "right now to do" list.
Re: Working with Camtasia
- I absolutely love Camtasia. It's easy to use, and the features are amazing. You can produce your video in many different formats, including flash. As ideasuniversity said, you can create a web page with the video already built in with it's own player. I usually save it as an .avi, then convert it to .mpg to save on the file size, then upload it to YouTube.
Very versatile. I was lucky enough to get it free when they were offering version 3 from their site. I use it now all the time. I like it better than Windows Movie Maker. The screen capture is great for creating tutorial videos. Just get yourself a microphone and start recording. Load video clips and edit and produce a new video. The new version is even more advanced. Overall I couldn't be happier with it.
