This is probably one of the best videos I have seen for quite a while now on the overall subject of starting and continuing a YouTube channel successfully.
There is not much in it in the way of technical stuff or SEO or anything like that.
It is more of an overview of what you need to have in place and most importantly HOW you should be approaching the subject before you even start.
How To Edit YouTube Videos like Mr. BEAST!
This is an awesome breakdown of every editing element present in an 8 minute Mr. Beast video.
Danial Batal does the the analysis step by step explaining what was being done as you move though the video.
There are two quite interesting things that come from all of this.
The first is that really, no matter how complex a video seems to be, when you slow it down you can see that there is almost nothing being done that cannot be done in your average video editing software.
The second point is that even if you can do all of those things the real question is, “Do you really want to?”
It doesn’t matter what software you are using, to re-create videos at this level means a lot of planning and time on the shoot and even more planning and time on the edit.
Filmora 11 Screen Recorder Tutorial
Like a lot of other video editing programs out there at the moment Filmora comes equipped with a screen recorder as part of the base program.
I actually think it has always had one but I am pretty sure it goes back to at least Filmora 8.
Anyway in this video you can see how to access and use the built-in screen recorder.
Pinnacle Studio, Corel Video Studio and PowerDirector all have their own built-in screen recorders and although accessing them is slightly different, they look and function very similarly to the Filmora module.

This is a simple run through of some of the new effects introduced to Filmora with the release of Filmora 11.
Rather than keep endlessly adding junk to the program that a lot of users may not actually use this year they opted to incorporate effects from NewBlue and Boris FX.
So the deal is that if you want to start getting a whole bunch of FX you can pay for the Boris and NewBlue plugin and off you go!
If not then that’s fine, Filmora still has the same huge effects library it always had.

This is a soup to nuts run through of re-creating the Ant Man shrinking effect that can be used in many other ways.
Basically you can use it for any shrinking type of thing you are doing.
Like most effects similar to this it involves getting the shooting right before you even get into any editing or post production.
Once that is done it then comes down to keyframes and masks.
PowerDirector – Creating 3D Videos
I still regard 3D video as being the novelty toy of the video world but hey, some people are using it!
Most of the consumer grade video editors at the moment have been equipped to deal with 3D video so if you are interested in this format here you go!
This demo is done in PowerDirector which I find to be one of the better iterations of 3D editing due to its efficient use of computer resources.
