How do I start making YouTube videos? What equipment is required?
I really dislike phones as primary video capture devices. They have limited storage, poor optics with no image stabilization, and terrible audio. On their plus side they're convenient, nearly everyone has a video capable phone these days making them ubiquitous, and most of the new ones have good sensors. To make a phone a better platform for your YT vids, try these steps:1) Get a Tripod. This will stabilize your shots, though the one I linked to here looks like garbage, but it's got 4.5 stars, so who knows.2) Get a basic plug in mic, be it a Lavalier Lapel Clip-on or a Shotgun Microphone, and that will improve your sound immensely. You can get way fancy with mics, but that a discussion for another time.3) Use the back camera, not the front one. You will wind up looking at your own face and not the lens if you use the front camera. The lens in your audience, make eye contact with the lens. Avoid the whole problem by using the better quality camera on the back of the phone.4) Better yet, use a Webcam plugged into your computer and avoid many of the pitfalls of a phone all together. Then the camera has all the storage of your computer, you don't need to transfer the video or convert it, and you can still use your tripod and microphones. Avoid using the computer's monitor as a tripod or you'll get stuck looking into your own eyes instead of the webcam's lens.5) Lighting. Get yourself something to light your face, and don't sit with a window over your shoulder like this:It's perfect if you want to hide your identity, but bad for publicity.Then you just need editing software. I've answered that question here on Quora too many times to count. Here's the most recent one.Greg Wyatt's answer to As a Mac user, is Final Cut Pro the best video editing software for YouTube videos or is there other software that works best for this purpose?If I were in your shoes just starting out, I'd try Resolve, Premiere, and Vegas all for free, then pick the one I liked the most and stick with it. If you don't feel like jumping into a professional program, try the basic ones first: Windows Movie Maker for your Windows computer and iMovie for your Mac.Good luck!
What video editing software do YouTubers use?
Adobe Premiere Pro deserves its place as the industry standard video editing software, thanks to its familiar nonlinear editing interface, unmatched ecosystem of tools, and powerful set of capabilities. Since my last look at the massive application, it has added support for 360 VR content, 4K (and higher) and HDR video, and the Lumetri Color tool. It has also added class-leading collaboration capabilities. All of this makes Premiere well worthy of an ditors' Choice award for professional-level video-editing software.System RequirementsPremiere Pro is now only available by subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud. The cross-platform program runs on macOS 10.10 through 10.12 and on Windows 7 through Windows 10, with the 64-bit versions required. It also requires a minimum of 8GB of RAM (16GB recommended), and a 1,280-by-800 display.While Apple made a drastic break with the past when it updated Final Cut Pro X, Adobe continues to take an incremental approach, polishing the interface and adding state-of-the art tools to its professional video editing software, Premiere Pro CC. Those used to traditional nonlinear digital video editing will applaud Premiere's familiar approach, but in its favor, Final Cut offers some innovative tools like connected clips, auditions, and a trackless timeline that can ease the work of editors.PROSClean interface. Flexible trimming tools. Tons of organization helps. Custom Markers. Ultimate power in video editing. Unlimited multicam angles. Interoperable with other Adobe CS products and 3rd party tools.

Slower at rendering than Final Cut Pro.BOTTOM LINEA full, professional-level digital video editing program, Premiere Pro CS6 gets more speed, a simplified UI, and new trimming and color tools.
