YouTube video/Edits

Hey guys hope everyone's doing well. I'm thinking of starting a YouTube channel and I'm looking for some direction. Any programs for video editing and perhaps any tips?

I used final cut pro X. Powerful software and many other successful youtube will tell you the same.

You can use either Final Cut Pro X or Adobe Premier. These are the most popular of the two. Final cut costs $300, all in one go. Adobe Premier costs $50 per month on an ongoing basis. So, I chose FCP because Adobe gets really expensive and you have to continue paying on it.

Also, if you want to get a lot of views, you'll want to focus on thumbnails, titles, tags, description, and transcription. Be sure that all of these are optimized for the terms most commonly searched for the topic that you're covering. This will help your channel, as a new channel, be able to get ranked in YT and Google search as well as potentially get recommended to others who are searching for similar things. This is probably the most important advice for a new YouTuber looking to grow, other than to make high quality videos and to have a clear brand that is professional looking and recognizable.
