You do this by first calling up the video you want to watch, and then adding a DASH inside the address, between the t and the u in youtube.. For example, change www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD2pUXUGsBE to www.yout-ube.com/watch?v=uD2pUXUGsBE
NOTE: This does NOT work with the shortened address you get when pressing the “Share” button. You have to copy/paste/modify the link at the top of the page, in the address bar.
This also MAY not work when monetization is enabled for the video. It throws an error message.
LANDSCAPE ORIENTATION – over 90% of the time you should be shooting in Landscape orientation [a.k.a. SIDEWAYS]. The ONLY time Portrait Orientation is preferred is if 99% of your audience will be looking at the video on their phone, AND they don’t know how or are too lazy to turn their phone sideways.
GOOD AUDIO IS IMPORTANT. After all, without it you just created a silent movie. Talk louder than you think, and be aware of all the noise that it around you [try closing your eyes and listening to the sounds around.]
PLAN what is going to happen – it will save time. What shots do you want? What sounds? Where? Who is going to be in it?
Here’s a good process to follow when creating a video
Shoot your footage.
Get too much video – it’s easier to delete extra material than to stretch out material because you don’t have enough.
Put the clips in rough order.
Add titles.
Record your voiceover, if you are going to add one.
After recording bump the volume up as much as you can – avoid a lot of red in the waveform, though a bit is usually OK. Your ears will tell you.
Watch it 5 times – look for problem spots and fix them.
Export the movie and send it on its way. Google Drive is a good place to stash video.
