Heres a tip: Adjust ur camera angle so we can see ur hands, and then adapt ur hands into ur body language. it makes face shots more alive

I'm about 2 weeks into my RU-vid journey so far, trying to learn as much as possible. Thanks for the great tips. I was Really surprised when I noticed you aren't at 1000 subs yet. You earned mine, 1 sub closer. Great video.

Saved this video to my favorites. Nice work

Great video bro! Well detailed & will definitely be taking these things into consideration on my next video

Suscribed. loved every bit.

Make a detailed video on music switch.

you're a genius

Hej! Thanks for the video, really great! I'll start using the b-roll stuff! Btw, just a little feedback, your facecam crops at the neck which is usually a no-no of cropping. I research framing quite a lot for my own videos and apparently making sure that your hands appear in the frame is a good thing. Cheers and keep it up!

To summarize: - Use B-Roll footage (edit in necessary footage that show more information about the current part of a video) - Get creative with your B-Roll footage/screenshots (try doing zoom-in, zoom-out, digital camera movements in the video and transitions) 2:51 vs. 2:54 - Watch your B-Roll footage carefully and have it start immediately from the part of the action (when the person is doing something), before just putting in your video. 3:16 vs. 3:21. The guy in clip 2 already started stroking his chin, instead of looking at the camera and moving his hand to his chin first - Get creative with your background music (For example: have the music stop at a certain point to emphasize what you say or do, or even start the music at a certain point. Also if your video is really long, like 6 minutes or more, use different music for different parts of the video, but put extra thought into what music fits more here and there. You don't always have to add music, just do it if you feel the video is too boring) - Use transitions where you think it would look cool, and use zoom in or zoom out to also emphasize somethings - When you use zoom-in, pick a spot of the screen for where your eyes should be and try to keep your eyes on that specific spot of the screen every time you zoom in 5:54 - Watch your video carefully, then decide which parts should be cut out and which should be left in. No matter how short or long the video ends up being, just as long as it's full of 100% good content, it's a good video.

Your channel will blow up. Excellent material!

Hi Ryan, Great job with this video. For some reason the endscreens didn't pop up for me. Just wanted to make sure you hadn't forgot to plug them in. Keep up the good work. Your channel is sure to blow up in no time.

Your site is unavailable. 🤔

These are actually really good tips. I don’t do "talking head" videos, but I still think I can utilize some of these techniques to bump my quality up a bit.

This was pretty good. You’ll definitely have far more subs soon

This is an excellent video!! Can you elabroate on what you mean at 4:50?

6 viceos and 500 subscribers! That's awesome! Great video!

re: 5:27 would love it if you elaborated on a general theory about when to use zoom ins vs zoom outs vs quick zoom ins vs quick zoom outs

The best editing tip is know how to use emotions to ride along with your viewers. I tried it and it worked.

Very good tips!

1:08 Well, I mean I do want to put viewers to sleep 😂 These are really, really good tips. New subscriber!

Thanks man. Very helpful. Good luck. Subscribed for more 🙂👍

great video brother, you're for sure gonna be big.

Ryan I enjoyed your video .. keep it up You know ? a year ago I used to have 30k-250k views per day ... but I was lucky since I was doing trends now I have only 2-4k views per day after a very long time I understood what was missing to this big puzzle called youtube .. my videos had an extremely low AVD (averaged duration time) started since April 1st making 2-3.30 min videos , all these videos have 50-63 % AVD (average duration time, the first 30 sec of these videos all have 63-74% AVD , all these videos have a CTR between 4.8-8 % I have applied many things , like end screens to direct to another specific video , optimizing them , trying to bingwatch my content , AVPV (average view per viewer) so to have longer session time per viewer from April 1st 2024 , I started to publish 1 video in 2 days .... since 2 days ago I started to publish everyday ... I know you may say you don t need but actually I don t have something else to do , so why not not to post a quality video every day. Since I am in coking niche the only thing to do to increase my AVD from 50-65 % per video to go up to 60-70% there are 2 ways : 1 to invest in the short future maybe investing In a new kitchen and more beautiful and the 2nd is not in my hand Mr beast in one video said ,,,, if your views liked a video of yours chances will be much higher that your next CTR to be higher because they will be clicking ... so with other words to wait that youtube snowball to start giving effects my only question is do you think my channel will blow up again ? is just matter of time ? or I am missing any last piece of puzzle?

Thanks man, another great and useful tips! I see you use sound effects with your transitions too. How much do you think that plays into retention and where can I find some free woosh sounds?

Thanks for that video! But man... sad... On your site works NOTHING :( Neither, the Video, the free Audit (leads to paperform LP), Consulting says 4 spots in April but no right now (June)

I always have 30 to 40 apv and I do everything right but people are still leaving. Can you look at it th 9 legend league with different armies.

900th Subscriber🍷🗿

Another great video Ry!

Thanks for sharing the information! I'm a new creator and these tips definitely helped me understand some things. I wish you luck with your channel and look forward to learning more tips from you! Thanks! Subscribed

this video was inspiring bro thanks

Just wanted to let you know, just in case you weren't aware, your website isn't working as of this message. It gets a "Server Not Fount". Great video btw! 👍🏻😁

Hey Ryan, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?

Awesome, thanks!

Im going to try your tips

this is some good content. keep grinding !!

Is 92% retention any good?

Your video is really helpful. but i can't access your free resource.

Really helpful video. Thank you. Well deserved sub from a fellow RU-vidr trying to grow their channel and address the "retention cliff".

Great tips

Atlast ❤❤❤ Hit 1k

Make a video on how to edit fast pacing RU-vid video.

Results matter at the end… why your videos are not getting views even this quality of videos.

Lol, if my retention graphs (for longs) looked even remotely like the 1st ones shown I'd be happy

I thougth you has a million subs lol

That constant zoom effect on your talking head shots are absolutely annoying. I couldn't watch till the end. Too triggered by that.

These are actually great tips... But i need to give you constructive criticism, on something not mentioned with your work... Your composition of your head shot is wrong. The eyes are not supposed to be in the middle of the frame. They are supposed to be on the top line of a rule of thirds! What you're doing is presenting you as weak and amateur. Too much headroom, nearly cutting you off at the neck, and it's simply offputting feeling as if you're a kid trying to peak on top of a counter. For reference of what it should be, is nearly every single move ever made and film/composition theory. Trust me on this. you won't be able unsee it. say no to eyes in the middle of the frame and just do a little education on this for yourself. please! AGAIN, great content!

your site is dead

oh god your face. nothing wrong with your face. but oh god. that made it so obvious.
