How to get more comments on YouTube | Adrian’s Journal #191205

Something’s wrong! I’ve been documenting and posting videos, BUT there’s little engagement. What can I do better?

How to get more comments on YouTube?

This is the subset to a bigger question about how to make a more engaging video.

  1. Make an intentional error on unimportant data.
  2. Shoot your video in a different environment from the usual.
  3. Shout out your viewers in the video.
  4. Pronounce words wrong intentionally.
  5. Instead of just telling the viewer to leave a comment, make it easy for the viewer by asking a question and telling the viewer to leave the answer in the comments.
  6. Highlight and include comments in your video. Show viewers that they matter.
  7. Use another social platform to tell people to leave a comment on your YouTube video.

Number five is the biggest actionable takeaway.

From now on I am going to change the way I end my videos…

Why? When there is engagement, YouTube will show your video to more people. It works on LinkedIn and Facebook too.

Do you have your own way to get more comments and engagement?

Leave your answer in the comments below.

See you tomorrow!

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer.

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
