No Tech Skills? Over 40? Here's how to start creating videos

Simple: Sit down and talk to your phone camera.* Mic drop * 😂 (Just kidding around with you, but this is what I need to do. I stopped making YT vids about a year ago, and really that's all i need to do: stop making excuses, sit down, and turn on my camera. Thanks for the tips and encouragement.)

It's editing I can't do, such a clutz. Feel so stupid.

@juliahapkinful. Thank you Kevin for all your valuable information. I am 66 years old, a technophobe but I've managed to start a channel a few days ago. Can you please teach us how to create links and what to do with them. Plus. Where do we put SEO. I hear it's important but I can't see where to insert it. Thanks Kevin.😊

Many thanks, Kevin. GOD bless you.

I'm 45 and I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷. Just found out your channel. Thanks for encouragement

Thanks for the videos for beginners!😊

I am in my Golf phase now, started a Golf Sim channel. I am 66, physically I deal with so many aches and pains. But I love it while I can do it. Need to modify my content so easier in my body. Made partner last week.

have you tried filmora?

You’re awesome! Thank you!

Thank you for the wise advice, " concentrate on what you can do" 😊

I'm liking this, so i can go back and watch this when i have a moment, but already can see this is going to be an insightful video

Thank you so much for this information i am slowly getting to starting my own YT channel . Tech has been my fear . I like how you simplfy everything. Thank you!

love your videos man. do you have a video on how to add a clickable link up in the corner?

I do my videos on Zoom (I had it for client meeting) b/c it is a quick press of button. But recently, when I combined two clips using quicktime player, then save, then upload to channel, the second video, made exactly the same as the first, turns my voice in to an underwater-MAN voice. Super creepy and then I have to delete the whole thing.

ANYONE HAVE THIS ISSUE WHEN YOU TUBE UPLOAD PROCESS CONTORTS THE VIDEO BY CONTORTING THE VOICE ON THE LAST CLIP ADDED????? It is screwing up my process :(

This is so true thank you so much ❤❤❤

Love this video and your other ones too. Love the rawness to it. 👏

Thank you for all the helpful information. I have a question about using my iPhone and the storage issue. I am trying to record most of my content in one afternoon and then breaking up into smaller videos to use. I seem to have a storage issue using my phone. I moved most of my pics onto an SD card and took them off my phone. What do you recommend for recording and storage? Can you record directly to the computer or an external hard drive from your phone?

HEY!!! Yoda said I was the best Dad!!!! hahaha!! I have the same shirt!!

Ok, when you are starting and stopping the video and need to put all those videos together to make one video, what do you use to do that? Is there an easy, cheap way?

Hi Kevin. Thank youbfornthe video. You mentioned that you a variety of software to record yourself but then indicated you can use just quicktime. My question is why don’t you just use quicktime as well rather than paying for a program? What am I missing here?

Hi Kevin! Have a question? Do the playlists HAVE to be something following the same idea as our channel name? Ex:I have experience in graphic designing and was considering adding a playlist to my channel which is totally off the subject of the channel, lol. Although, as a caregiver, I do use that graphic designing as a means of relaxing and escaping my daily routine. Almost like a treat to my self. Hmm I'm not sure That's why I would like to know what you can suggest. Thanks :)

Phone, lav mic, and VLLO on my phone. Laptop, I use the webcam, lac mic, CapCut and/or iMovie to edit my videos. I keep it simple

Your message was an inspiration and an answer to prayer Kevin. I'm in my 40s and the very things you discussed here hold me back from jumping into creating my YTC. Thank you for your sharing with the world your genuinely welcoming personality. I immediately subscribed. I appreciated your closing words, "Concentrate on what you can do to create and share your gifts with the world because I guarantee you this there is somebody out there that needs you and what you have to say..." May God Bless you immeasurably

Great content Kevin, thanks! What would you suggest for lighting?

New subscriber here. Your videos are always super informative. Thanks

Glag to find this Channel, you've got soo much to offer,Thanks Always

I started looking at your videos yesterday, October 25, 2024. I must admit I enjoy looking at your videos. You explain the process in great details to the point a child who can read and write can do this. Getting ready to start again shooting videos. It has been a year since I last tried. You truly simplified the process. Thank you sir.

Can this be done in iMovie?

Thank you for peeling back the onion and reminding those of us that are new to creating the best advice "keep it simple".

29 year old aspiring Electrician with a passion for creating lego Mechs with a love for art and other Sci Fi creations! Your channel convinces me to get out there and make it happen. Thats exactly what ima go and do. Cheers buddy, keep going. Rooting for your family and you budd!

My problem with not being a techie (I was until the mid 1980’s when C+ and C++ came out, then I lost it), I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong…or right, as the case may be.
I recorded something, and edited out stuff using iMovie (free with the phone) but when I go to post, YT Studio will only look at my camera for files. How do I post it, or how do I transfer the finished video back to my camera if that’s where it needs to be?

This is my first video and I’m frustrated. Can you help me?

Thanks for sharing these tips.

Thanks just subbed , what I needed , simple ways to do this .....golden video for sure!

Thanks for all the tips. I guess I'll be watching more of them to help me out create better videos.

Hello Kevin,
Turning 60 in December. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm having fun learning the ends and outs of You Tube. Have a great weekend.

appreciate your advice and technical help. Great job

Loving your content, Kevin! You've earned a sub! So helpful, natural, and uplifting! Keep it up! 🎉🎉

Appreciate this information. Thx 👍🏾

I’ve now watched a hand full of your videos and truly appreciate your kind personality and speaking skills are excellent. Love the shirt btw! I’m over 40, I am a techie but would suggest people who are worried about ‘tech’ to not overthink things. I only use an iPhone for my channel (for video, audio is professional equipment), mind you the visuals are ‘out there’ but it really shows you what a phone camera today can do. Once I stopped overthinking things is when I was able to push ahead and not look back. If you’re thinking about it…just do it! Great video

I'm a new here

Very Very beautiful like big

Thanks For Inspiration.

I think the biggest stumbling block is the fear of being in front of the camera
