Even if the process of making your own video may seem abit complex at first it is actually not that difficult. Even if you have a little computer skills you still able to make videos and upload them to YouTube.
The first in making any video is to find a video recording device. It can be anything that does video recording example of such devices are cell phones, webcams and traditional camcorders.

In order to achieve the best quality you shout consider using
camcorder especially digital one, but you can also use later models of webcams (they can be a low cost alternative to camcorder).
Once you have a recording device you can start making your own video. Some popular videos on YouTube these days are how to videos, travel journals, comedy and video blogs. In reality you can make any type of video you want as there are always will be someone out there who would want to watch it. Just one point when making videos for YouTube, it is important to keep in mind that YouTube does not limit a number of videos you can upload but on a standard membership the videos are limited to ten minutes. So you have some options available to you can either upgrade your membership or
you can split your video into ten minutes segments.
Also when making a video try and make sure that the quality of the video is good. A few pointers on this one, first try and speak directly into the camera or otherwise use a raised voice this will ensure that people who watching your video will be able to understand what you are saying. Also try and make sure that the area where you filming is well lit so people can see a clear picture normally the best time to film is during the day. So when filming make sure the picture is clear because there is nothing much worth then watching a video where you can’t see anything.
There are a number of steps similar to the once above, which you can take to make
sure your videos are of a good quality there is also a way you can fix video problems later on by using video editing software. Movie editing software allows you to edit your movies add sound lighting and so on to make sure that movies are of a good quality before you upload them to YouTube. If you running relatively new computer you should have the basic movie editing software already on it, otherwise you can find quite a few of them available on the internet or you can get them from any computer software store.
The decision to edit or not edit the movies before uploading them to YouTube is up to you but it is recommended that you view your movie at least few times before uploading it to YouTube o make sure you happy with it or you can show it to your friends to get an opinion on the quality. And if you find you want to change something you can always use movie
