    iPhone 7 plus 4k video help

    Exactly what he said, because the program is trying to scrub the 4k file and not the preview, it's only going to go as fast as your processor or hard drive (in some cases) will allow. Quite frankly if you want to do 4k you'll just have to put up with it, but 4K is a little overkill for now as...

    Sony Vegas Help

    Just fiddle with the program for a little bit and you'll get it. There are some file types that are not natively supported, so that's that. I'll add a few helpful tips. Select a bunch of things and press "G" to group them so move and get cut as one. Audio/Video for individual files are...

    The Freedom! family has it wrong...

    The real reason why people always suggest the same things in the channel review sections is simply because they don't know what else to suggest, they are putting ideas out there for the person themselves to look for ways to improve. Example; If I am asking for feedback on my channel, then I...

    YouTube One of the biggest lies of Youtube!

    Quality certainly is king, but the statement really isn't a lie. To call "just keep uploading" a lie implies that there is something that someone can do outside of uploading to bolster their YouTube success chances. The last thing that any small channel should be doing is trying to use social...

    Network Speak Another Language? Freedom! Needs You!

    I don't particularly speak anything other than English, but I am learning Spanish because it's my roommate's mother tongue and I want to impress some friends and family. Although after that Russian, Latin, and French are also on my chopping block.

    FFF Freedom Forums Friday! FEB 17th +Credit system live!

    Really can't say I have an opinion on it yet. From what I've seen it's just a Freedom! point reboot at this point. I'd be able to form a great opinion on its substance if there was some insight into what the credit will eventually be used for.

    YouTube Gaining Subs, But Not Many Views

    Let me be clear here before I start, do not jump to YouTube being broken when you're not getting views. If you're making a video properly and making videos that can be seen, most of your views should be coming from non-subscribers. That is until you run through a threshold where it averages out...

    When is best for a giveaway?

    You don't want to do that because you'll end up with people who are just going to subscribe for the giveaway and never come back unless you put up another giveaway video. They won't care about your other content as they just want free stuff... and it's long been debunked that saying "subscribe...

    When is best for a giveaway?

    I think you should only do a giveaway when the odds of a particular person winning are minimized. So wait until you have 1k or 2k subscribers with several active commentors. Then, when you actually do the giveaway, have it restricted to existing subscribers only so that way people won't flood in...

    Solved still not able to promote

    Do as Jord said, but be wary. You shouldn't be trying to promote yourself to other YouTubers unless it is strictly for feedback purposes. As YouTubers, we care the most about our own growth and don't really care about the growth of other channels. It's the same reason you'll see a "offering...

    YouTube CAN'T YOUTUBE DO THIS...

    To be able to search channels, or videos by channels, within certain subscriber count demographics would be a pretty sweet system that would enable people who are looking for undiscovered talent to find it. However, that opens the door for people willing to abuse the system, I could see myself...

    Network More Sponsorships for Female Vloggers

    That would certainly be a case that would be considered adequate. I think a company would prefer if their product was marketed to their target market. Beauty products are a good example because they are intended for females and would be used by a female target market, so having a female promote...

    Subscriber Milestone Going for 500 subs

    A growth in subscribers is a really narrow way of viewing channel growth. I think at this point you need to be making content that actually keeps people coming back to your channel while still making content that brings in new people to watch your videos. It would appear that the problem with...

    Network More Sponsorships for Female Vloggers

    I understand your want for non-gaming oriented sponsorships. The lack of me using any of the tools provided here (due to their uselessness for most vlogging reasons) lead me to leave the network. But to ask for female-oriented sponsorships to then say travel & events are female oriented would be...

    Community Motivation for youtube is low for small youtubers :(

    People won't make it big if they have the intention of getting big. As a small channel it is very much a hobby and should be thought of as a hobby that you take part it before it becomes any sort of occupation or job. If it is a hobby, think of other hobbies. You put money into to make it a...

    How do you expose your channel to more people?

    Only when I read that I think of someone coming to my channel and saying "Hi good work, [insert paragraph or two about why I should sub to him]". It's disingenuous, and nobody should take part in such practice.

    Youtube Algorithm

    YouTube is a business trying to become profitable. If it is going to keep itself afloat, it is going to modify that algorithm to benefit the greatest earners as it has. I just learn (because of PewDiePie being dropped) about "YouTube Preferred" which grants special high-payout ads to the most...

    YouTube Should I do a giveaway? (Poll)

    I don't think you should do a giveaway until you have a sizable audience that can compete for the prize. At your level, there may be just two or three subscribers that bother to watch let alone comment or do anything beyond the basic viewer activity.
