Youtube's NEW Online Video Editing Tools

I am soooo sorry for not responding sooner, I have been unable to login to AR for the past day or so....  please accept my apology.  I was receiving email comment notifications but everytime I tried to login, I was greeted with...

or this

Now that I'm back in, I'll try to respond to as many questions as I can, sorry guys.

BTW - whoever featured my post at AR, thank you very much!!  :-)

Rich - no real issue unless you use maximum stabilization, but that would only be something you'd apply to a video while on a roller coaster ride. lol~  Honestly, I don't see enough of a decrease in quality unless you do use the max stabilization, unfortunately that's how stabilization works.  It's not that bad for an online freebie.  :-)

Gerard - Microsofts movie maker comes on the PC, it's not an online editing product, that's the difference.

Lee and Pamela - hope the members of the VBlogger group will find this useful. Thanks. 

Craig - If I didn't post this, I know you would have...  You are the tech guru my friend. :-)  No option to upload personal mp3 files just yet, but you know round two will come soon with many more features based om users responses and feedback.

Pamelyn - GREAT comment and point. It's a topic that deserves its own blog post.  Have no fear of the camera is easy to say, but the reality is that most people lock up, get tongue tied, and get very nervous in front of a camera.  I have many suggestions and ideas on how to get around this, but the comment box here won't be the place. I'll put together a post but in the meantime, here's a funny little video I put together around that very topic. It's kinda cute, kinda dumb, but you'll see where I was going with it after you watch it.  Thank for the great idea for one of my next posts.

Linda - haha~  keep it in context ok?  lol~

Bob - I'm sure the future updates and improvements will include many new features including the ability to add your own audio files. This is jst round one, phase one.  They probably have to test the stability factor with the millions using the new features. More coming, I promise...

Andrew - all I can do is try to inspire and motivate people to jump in the water, then be there to help them so they don't drown.  Video is not the future, nor the present... it is the past but only getting easier and better.  It's the people who have not accepted nor grown to the fast paced change which makes it all the more why Agents, Brokers, Lenders etc. need to JUMP on this stuff now.  Great comment and realistic observation my friend. Thanks.

Tammy - Glad you got your camera!!

John - yes, multiple clips.  Just keep dragging the videos into the time-line bar but be careful not to make your final video too long, studies show that videos between 30-90 seconds get watched the most and they watch the entire thing if it's good content. Key is...if it's good content. Example - how many do you think watched the entire video I created in the post above?  It's over 90 seconds so most likely, nobody watched the whole thing, they probably ran over to their Youtube channels to check it out. None-the-less, I wanted to show some of the key features which to me made the content worth posting.

Sally - I'll be posting about some of those other tools in my next series, I have some tips and tricks that might help you using some of those other apps and features. 

Lorraine or Loretta - I think music makes all the difference in the world on longer videos. Imagine some of the greatest movies ever made that didn't have the music to set the scene and more importantly, the mood.  It's the balance of volume and selection of audio that is the key in my honest opinion.

Steve - you said, "You don't need more free tools, free accounts, free training, cheaper equipment."  I disagree, but I probably live in a different real estate market and economy than you do.  lol~ 

Russell - thanks, that particular video got him into a "signed" band that will be touring this Summer. WOOHOO!  :-)

Thanks to everyone else for your wonderful comments, I'd comment back to each of you but my kids are telling me that the Easter Bunny just came... gotta run.  HAPPY EASTER ALL~

Jeanne - I can't give up all my secrets! lol~ 

I used a program called Screenflow for video, it has some features that let you create some really useful effects and makes video editing much easier for these types of tutorials.  I'd be happy to show you how it works if you need assistance.
