I generated a 5 minute video that I want to put narration before, during and after. If I just break it up in invideo, I can't put stuff between the segments because it's in the

I use CapCut. In my mind, it’s the best free video editor and is fairly easy to use.

What I do is find the spots in the video where I want to put in the narration, split the video there, then add your narration in between. I take a screenshot of the scene, record my narration over it and then put it into the spot you want in the video. This way it looks like you froze it for the narration.

InShot s also free and a touch easier to learn. The method is the same. You’ll have to pay to get rid of the watermark, though, (like $6 for Pro or something).

Hope this helps!

Thank you Abie! I have Canva but didn't realize it had this

You are welcome, Michael! Do let us how it goes if you get to use it.

I don't know if OpusClip would be helpful, Michael. It's something that I'm thinking about using, but I haven't tried it yet due to taking one step at a time. I belong to a YouTube training platform and this is something that they do recommend.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

I like Opus Clip and do recommend it. Unfortunately, it won’t do what he needs.

Cheers!

Thank you, Darlene; I think I may have misunderstood the question. That's good to know that you recommend OpusClip, I have heard very good things about the software.

I actually use Camtasia for video editing, which is also screen recording software, which I can recommend. Although it looks like Michael has found his answer, which is good news.

Have a great weekend.

I use Wondershare for video manipulation it will allow you to load a video as say an MP4 and then split off the video and voiceover.
After that, you can just separate, split, add, manipulate, as you wish.
When you are finished, just recombine as an MP4 and job done.
Wondershare is not the most expensive, about £80 and it does for what I want.

what about hitfilm express or obs studio...

I am not totally sure of what you want to do but I think can be helpful.

That's new, and I haven't had the chance to test it out yet.

I am doing a product review youtube video. I saw a weird comment (but didn't write it down) so I deleted it. It appeared like someone was trying to tag a small group of people

Can you report those weird comments to YouTube?

I hit the "report spam and delete" button on each of them. Seems to have slowed down a bit. If I don't get one for a day or so I will turn off the check before publish

Has this been figured out?

Abie

So I figured out how to make this specific video so that I can approve all comments while allowing the rest of my channel to accept freely. I still don’t know what this is. But it appears to be a bunch of bots.

I only have less than 30 views on this video, so I’m thinking about deleting it and then reposting it in a week. See if the problem goes away.

But I still have no idea what this is about

I get that as well... I delete anything that doesn't add value.

Thank you for the clarification, please keep us posted.

Abie

Hey MToback, it’s good that you’re staying vigilant with your YouTube comments! What you’re describing sounds like it could be part of a spam or bot activity where random names are posted, possibly to confuse viewers or manipulate engagement. Since the comments don’t seem relevant to your video and are likely not from genuine viewers, deleting them is a smart move.

If this keeps happening, you might want to consider adjusting your comment moderation settings or filtering out certain keywords to prevent similar comments from showing up. Also, keep an eye out for any patterns or repeated names—it could help in reporting the issue to YouTube if needed.

have you checked out the names in yt or even in fb and maybe tag them and ask whether they have watched your video yet...but it looks like a random set of names so as you have done i would delete - you never know who is setting you up for trouble...

If you want to tag someone or a channel then you need to include an at sign. This almost looks like some weird code

maybe they don't know that...

Yes Michael, I've had those too over the last couple of weeks. I don't know what they are either, but if they are viewing my YT videos and not abusive, what the heck. I just reply with ""thanks for watching""
Anyone that is abusive in any way gets an instant "block from channel"
It would be nice to know more, I will watch this space for more answers.
