How Long Does It Take To Make A Youtube Video

How long does it take to produce a 5 minute Youtube video? How long should it take to edit a 10 minute Youtube video?




Based on research... "The more subscribers the creator had, the longer it took to create a video."

I thought I know everything about video production. 

I thought I should be able to produce a video faster than someone less experienced than me.

Then why am I talking days and weeks to come up with my next YouTube video?

I was faster in the old days. Maybe I am growing old. 

I almost confirmed my days are over when I came across that research.

"Contrary to intuition, the more pro you become on YouTube, the more time you spend making a video!"

There are 3 Types Of YouTube.

1. New YouTubers, who just started on YouTube
2. Small YouTubers, who have less than 1000 subscribers
3. Pro YouTubers, who have been making YouTube videos


How Long Does It Take To Create A YouTube Video?

Research shows an average of 7 hours for every 1–5 minutes of video uploaded to YouTube!

Creating a YouTube video takes time, dedication, and effort. 

That usually includes the 7 Steps Of Making A YouTube Video. 
  1. Researching
  2. Scripting
  3. Recording
  4. Editing
  5. Audio mixing
  6. Thumbnail creation
  7. Search Engine Optimization 

Gamers and casual vloggers do it faster than Tech video creators. 

I was an event videographer for many years. 

I could shoot, edit, and produce a 5-minute final video in a single day. Eg. Wedding Highlights. 

How can I apply the same concept to my review videos?

Try cutting research and scripting. Go straight into recording the exploration of a product. Maybe editing along the way. Treat it like an event.

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. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

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...
