Well, I realize that I am all by myself when I attempt to make some videos about my posts. My husband is waiting for a shoulder surgery and cannot hold a camera really steady a
Hi,
99% of the videos on my YouTube channel were made by myself. I simply used a good tripod, DSLR, radio mics, Camtasia screen recorder and a video editing program.

It is worth investing a little for video making to make the best quality possible. With that in mind, make sure your audio is spot on.
A DSLR like the Canon 80D is perfect as it:
1. Has superb autofocus that will lock no your face, even when you walk out of and back into shot.
2. A rotating screen which is good for composing when setting up your shot.
3. Can be operated from an app via your smartphone
4. Shoots beautiful 1080p High Definition video
There are lots of great second hand cameras out there. Also look at the Panasonic GH4 which is still an amazing HD and 4K video and stills camera:
https://www.ebay.com/b/Panasonic-LUMIX-GH4-Digital-Cameras/31388/bn_86581596
You can buy great software on the cheap such as Adobe Premiere Elements and learn to use that. You can also get free screen recording software if Camtasia is out of your budget right now.
Look into using a radio mic with your camera for amazing audio quality. Here is a cheap one that will improve your audio massively:

Failing that, here is a cheaper option but is cabled which limits your distance from camera (can be used with smartphone too):

Here is another cheap option I reviewed recently:

Once you have recorded yourself and the tutorial you are making, learn to then shoot "b roll" that compliments and emphasises what you are talking about.
Learn to "drop" that into your edit timeline which is pretty simple once you know how.
Lastly, ensure the lighting is good and as add it when needed. Here are some fairly cheap but excellent lights I use (LED so cheap to run and cool to touch):

Worth learning so good luck with it!

You're welcome and good luck with it. It's a lot of fun once you get into filming and editing.
I got a good deal on Camtasia a couple years back and I enjoy making my own videos. You can share the screen. There are free options including zoom (which is usually used for meetings but you can share the screen on there too and I think you get so many free minutes each one you start. Another one like zoom is called appear.in
you can record what you are doing on your screen with free software like monosnap, a lot of the WA trainings done by members are done like that, one click of a button and it records video and audio and gives you the opportunity to have a pic of yourself in the corner too if you like. Then take a look at magistudios training on producing video or even what he uses himself if you want to go high tech, but remember he is livestreaming audio so it has to be a bit more high tech
This is a very good question. I would like to know the answer, so I will wait for others to respond.
Absolutely, I've done a bunch of videos and I've done every one of them by myself. I've used webcams, video cameras and smartphones. Smart phones actually have better reproduction than the other two and produce the sharpest videos. Doing the videos for my websites is probably the funnest and most enjoyable part of all website building! The one thing that is a must though, is an inexpensive tripod.
Thanks,Randy! I am wondering how you made it and how you edit it. And what kind of software you use for editing your videos?
Ey there Dora, if I'm doing a training video on my PC, I always use Screencast O Matic to capture the screen. I do have the Pro version which costs $18 per year. I have used the free version of Monosnap also and like it quite a bit. But my choice for a free version is definitely VideoPad Video Editor.
Once I have a published video from one of the above softwares, I open the video in Windows Movie Maker (free) and do all the editing there including adding soundtracks, music, intros and outtros, then save it in Hi Def. At that point it is ready to upload to YouTube although I go through one more step which is running the video through Handbrake (free) which usually will add a touch more clarity.
So literally I can do all of it totally free and get some pretty decent quality videos. (Take a look at a few of my training vids that are listed on the right side of my profile down at the bottom.)
Hope that helps, have a great Sunday!!!
Randy
This is so nice! Many thanks, Randy! I will look into your training on my next day off. I can't wait to do that.
DW66,
I am thinking about it while we speak.
I will wait for others to respond, I'm a so thankful you asked this question. I know someone in the know will tell us!

Can you make videos for yourself all by yourself?

Hello, I give you the best tool to make your own videos up to 15 minutes for free.Working with this tool you can show slides using PowerPoint, excellent for tutorials or presentations. I give you the link:

This question sounds like a tongue twister: I've heard some people said that if you shot a picture of a picture, that picture which you shot becomes yours to use without copyri
You 100% own the picture but you don't own the commercial rights to it. This is because your photo includes within it, another artwork that has it's own copyright held with the author or artist that created it.
It's a very contentious and confusing-at-times area.
I have been selling stock photography for over 12 years and there have been times when I have had to Photoshop out paintings on the wall of a house before I could sell that photo. I didn't own the copyright to those paintings.
You do have the rights to use your image in an editorial context such as on your blog to illustrate a point but you cannot sell it for use on a biscuit tin for example.
Did you know that you have the rights to sell an image of the Eiffel Tower in France but not at night. This is because the lights have copyright protection but not the tower itself. You can take photos at night for personal use, editorial, social media etc but not for commercial gain.
https://alj.orangenius.com/night-photos-eiffel-tower-violate-copyright/
I could take a photo of you and sell it for whatever I want, with no model release or permission needed if it has editorial value.
For example, I could take a photo of the the Prime Minister punching a policeman and sell it as editorial because it has huge editorial value. I cannot sell that same photo to advertise a new film or product.
How very interesting, Nick! Feel that I can learn lots and lots from you.
Best of luck here at WA!:)

hi nick thanks for the explanation.
in it you state you can use these pictures for your article but not for commercial gain.
if your article is for buyer intent does that constitute commercial gain - does the article containing it have to be informational or otherwise non commercial - is it a grey point in the law.
if this is the case can you take pictures of an amazon page and use that in your article to sell the product - or is that classed as commercial intent?
I am suprised about the model release - i always thought it was the other way around - you had to get realese from everybody in the picture to get any commercial gain from it.
Who defines editorial value?
many thanks for your respone
Phil
Hi Phil,
"If your article is for buyer intent does that constitute commercial gain - does the article containing it have to be informational or otherwise non commercial - is it a grey point in the law."
Yes, it is a grey point in the law. Most articles on your blog or website that are selling a product should be built in an informational manner anyway...less spammy.
However, a blog post or web page doesn't truly fall into the category of commercial gain. If you were using the image for a Facebook ad, that would.
"If this is the case can you take pictures of an amazon page and use that in your article to sell the product - or is that classed as commercial intent?"
I have myself in the past, used images from Amazon to promote that product on my site. I used to ask the sellers all the time but to be honest, they really didn't care if I was promoting their product.
Saying that, if you use the manufacturers, or Amazon seller's image, always make sure you are linking to their product otherwise you could end up in bother.
"I am surprised about the model release - I always thought it was the other way around - you had to get release from everybody in the picture to get any commercial gain from it.Who defines editorial value?"
Nope. Editorial is "fair game" as long as the person you are photographing is on or in the public domain (i.e. the high street, pub, beach etc) and not on private property. You can photograph them and sell it as editorial but NOT commercial.
Remember though, it has to have substantial editorial interest otherwise there is no point. Who wants a photo of Joe Bloggs walking down the street? If he had an AK-47 in his hand then maybe : )
I know selling something as editorial still implies commercial gain but in this instance, commercial gain is more to do with advertising...using the image on packaging, adverts, covers etc.
This is why building affiliate websites via the informational/review/content route is easier and more trustworthy for most people than building an obvious full on store.
When selling images through online agencies, it is the agent that defines editorial value based upon a set of rules and principles that have been improved over the past 10-12 years.
P.s. I used to spend hours and hours looking for stolen images of mine. I would then either contact the author of the website and ask them to remove it (unless it was one of my stock images which they had probably bought).
If they refused, and the site was part of Blogger.com, WordPress.com or Facebook, I could file a DMCA and have the page or post removed pretty quickly.
A useful tool for your browser is "TinEye". I used it for the OP's cat image and it searched 26.5billion images in just over a second. It found over 1000 instances of embedding on sites and blogs...
Thanks for the response nick.
If i have used any images like that i will wait for the take down.
I hope i haven't.
Will check out tineye as my partner does a lot of photography and it will be interesting to see if anyone is using them.
Thanks for that.
No worries and yes, wait for the take down request rather than going through everything you have done to date. Plead (genuine) ignorance and politely take it down when asked. However, it will probably be there for a hundred years before anyone notices.
...I've just become more laid back about all this as I get older.
Thanks, sir! This is so very interesting! Hm... editorial context and editorial value... I need to digest these new concepts for me. LOL. If I took a picture of somebody else picture about an item, just to help illustrate what I am talking about, what it is look like for affiliate purpose...am I all right in terms of copyright? If I really start to earn money from my posts with affiliate program, would these pictures I took from others pictures be considered as in an editorial context and has only the editorial value?
No , I never use someone else's photos of a product from their own review. Only the product owner or Amazon Seller's images on occasion.
For example, I took all the photos on the following page specifically for a product review. I would absolutely not allow anyone else to use these.
https://www.all-things-photography.com/aputure-gigtube-viewfinder/
If you go to the manufacturers website, they sometimes have a press section where you can download high resolution press images.
There is a difference between taking a photo of someone else's art work and actually saving, downloading or screen-printing their image. Just be careful with that.
My usual process is this:
1. I normally get a copy of the product to review so I take my own images.
2. Failing that, I look for press images on the manufacturers website.
3. If that fails, I look at the general images on the manufacturers website and ask if I can use them to promote their product (they usually say yes or even send you along a press pack).
4. Ask the seller or manufacturer for images
5. Failing all that, if I am promoting through Amazon, I will use the images there. Again and where possible, I would ask first otherwise use the Amazon image linking strategy supplied for associates.
I have thought about that Mary and will more than likely get more involved once my current project is out of the way (re-writing a 1300 page website). Cheers : )
No. It doesn't make sense. I can see no difference in photographing someone else's image or scanning it. In fact, there are apps that have an element of both of them.
Taking a picture of a picture that wasn't yours form the beginning doesn't make it yours, Dorothy. If you use that picture and it is copyrighted, you will get in trouble.
Hennie
Hold on, did Rich908 misunderstand? Because taking a picture of a beach yourself is not the same as taking a picture of my picture of that beach.
NO! It was someone else's picture to begin with and taking a screenshot of that is not allowed, still their picture, Kyle says this somewhere in the training.
You might be confusing something Boomergp08 said when he took a picture of a small part of a picture and created a new picture...

I have created 3 contents on my new site for "Privacy Policy", "Affiliate Disclaimer" & medical disclaimer. I am wondering where I should put them. I've seen some site put
I'm looking around at some professionals and there is no real consensus, some have them in the footer, some at the top and some totally wreck their content with them just to 'comply'
great question though!
I think you'll see more consensus in the coming months, as the FTC continues to crack down. Merchants face huge fines if their sites aren't compliant, and affiliates can be fined too now. Willing to take that risk?
From what I have read here in WA and a few other places, the affiliate disclaimer should be shown before or very close to any product linked for sale.
I had previously placed the AD in the footer, then, I had it as a drop-down under my "about me" - and, finally, to ensure complete and utterly total compliance, I placed it in my sidebar just under the "search" function.
And, that is where I will leave it.
Jim
Whoops! Thanks, for letting me know that, Mary!
But, I guess they will have to take me away 'cause I'm not changing again.
Do you think they have size XXX-Large handcuffs?
:-)
Jim
Mine is as a sub menu item under my About me page but I also put a short disclaimer at the bottom of posts where I have affiliate links too.
With Grace and Gratitude
Karen
some websites have their disclaimer in the footer of the page at the bottom. I have put mine as a submenu under my privacy policy.
Disclaimers, make them loud and proud, clear and concise. Wherever that blends into you website.

I am looking for a free, or affordable, good quality and easy-to-learn video-editing software / program. Can you recommend one?
Windows movie maker good basic one - i just started using cyberlink power director 15 to do some more advanced add oms and backgrounds with effects - so far so good and relatively easy to navigate
Ian
Just last night I made my first video with Windows Movie Maker Live. It's free and I learned how in about 5 minutes. Lots of tutorials on the Internet.
Debbie
I use Windows Movie Maker for all my videos. Check out my latest video on my latest blog post - https://asiatravelgems.com/malaysia/kuala-lumpur/best-places-to-eat-in-kuala-lumpur/kinjuku-setiawalk-mall-review/
WMM has enough functions to create a decent video. And easy to use too.
Do you want to start making advertising videos, or podcasts?
Or do you want to edit existing videos?
In Windows live movie maker you can edit.
Biteable and Moovly have great starter programs
Take a look at my list Blogs List Top Rated By Loes At the bottom under category YouTube
https://screencast-o-matic.com
Has a free version, used by quite a few folks, up grade is reasonable, if required

I use Windows Movie Maker for all my videos. Check out my latest video on my latest blog post - https://asiatravelgems.com/malaysia/kuala-lumpur/best-places-to-eat-in-kuala-lumpur/kinjuku-setiawalk-mall-review/
WMM has enough functions to create a decent video. And easy to use too.
Do you want to start making advertising videos, or podcasts?
Or do you want to edit existing videos?
In Windows live movie maker you can edit.
Biteable and Moovly have great starter programs

I've read some instructons from WA members' posts about how to create your own animated signatures. I tried some websites for free animated signature creation but haven't been
Is the signature for in here - maybe see what Kyle says as even though some members use these it used to be in the rules that it was not allowed - however those rules are evolving all the time, it would be nice to know one way or the other though.
You are allowed to put your name in a creative way beneath your blog Mary, as long as it's not a link to your website attached to your name, or a business card or some other advertisement to gain from.
Thanks, Debbie. I've tried this site. This site has cookies & will share your info to the 3rd parties. This is what I hesitate about. Did you agree with their Ts & Cs & sign up an account with them?
Hmmmm.... it was a while ago but I don’t remember signing up for anything. Maybe once they became popular they became complicated.
Everything you need with this PP template! https://www.free-power-point-templates.com/articles/electronic-signature-animated-powerpoint-template/
I tried and worried about their cookies and sharing my info with 3rd parties which I have no interest for. What do you think? Is that matter?
it can be done on powerpoint but is quite time consuming - probably easier just to get someone on fiverr or upwork to do it for you for a few bucks.

I have seen you here already I get often questions about how to make a signature, here are some tips Did you manage?
Yes, Loes, I read through your article and tried all the links in it. Some have become blank & others request you agree with their terms & conditions & register an account, plus they have cookies and may share your info with 3rd parties. So I am hesitating... What do you think? Does that matter if they put cookies in your computer and share your info with 3rd parties which you don't have interest in. Or how to prevent that from happening?
I will check up the blanks, thank you
A lot websites you are visiting do not even tell you they place cookies, but do it anyway, it's only law in Europe, they have to warn for that
For example, on the picgifs.com, when I click on "Click here" to make your own name GIFs. I will receive error message: "Oops something went wrong: This page does not exist or something else went wrong."
And mylivesignature.com always shows me an error message: The page is not found.
