In this video, we're going to look at how you can actually make a video
like one of these right here, with a stock footage audio playing in the
background sound effects are the most likely seen videos just like
this one, not this exact one with that has over 169 million views,
which you might be one of those views, whereby SocialBlade estimates
that this channel gets an average of 17,000 to $273,000 a month, which is
why I'm very interested in see how I can make a video like this on
another channel. So let's see how you could do that as well. So the
first thing is getting the relaxing audio that's playing in the
background here. Now one could use a service like Epidemic Sound, to get
access to over 35,000 tracks and 90,000 sound effects, I suggest you
don't spend any money to get started as yet, because there is a way to
get access to royalty free music and sound effects without spending a
cent to get started. And that's using the YouTube Audio Library
where you see free music and sound effects. Now to access this, you can
just search for YouTube audio library, and the first result here
will take you directly to where you can access that they go. Or
alternatively, when you log into YouTube, and after you've created
your channel, just come up here to your profile photo and come down to
YouTube's studio, then head across to audio library right here. And
they have it in here you get a full archive of audio here with almost
2000 tracks. But the important thing here is that you can download all of
these for free. And as you can see right here, YouTube says you're free
to use this or you're tracking any of your videos, including videos are
to monetize where no attribution is required, so you won't have to worry
about any copyright related issues here. What you can do to find the
track of your choice is by searching or filtering the library here,
clicking this icon here, you can choose an option to filter here, you
can simply click genre, a has ambient, hit Apply. And what you
have here now is about 482 different tracks that you could use to play in
the background and loop in your relaxing videos. Based on the mood
you're going for. You can even narrow down further by choosing sad,
inspirational, calm, dark bright. After listening to a few of these
tracks, I decided to go with this one because I thought it was more
suitable for this experiment. So I'll just come over here and hit
download and save this file hopefully to a location that I will
be able to find. Now that we have that the next thing I'll do is look
for some stock footage that you can also get for free, and is also
royalty free, which means we can use that on these YouTube videos, head
over to pixabay.com see like videos appear. And you can simply come up
here and search for something that is suitable to the audio file that
we just downloaded. What is useful here on Pixabay is they actually
give you some popular video searches that you can just click right here.
And just looking at the first few set of results here. There are a lot
of options for us to work with. But I am liking this one with the
waterfall. Let's take a closer look. I like the idea of that but I want
something a little bit more realistic. So let's search for
waterfall videos, I want to find one that can easily look. And I think I
already found a winner here. Let me just take a closer look at this
here. And cool. We're going to go with this video. So to grab this
just hit free download. And now we'll be sure to see this in the
same location that I just saved that relaxing audio file. Now remember,
it says no attribution is required. And it's free for commercial use.
But just in case you have this option here, we can state video by
whoever it is from Pixabay hit copy and paste this into the YouTube
description when you're posting your video, I will be doing the same
thing. So now that I have this stock footage, as well as relaxing audio,
I'm going to put together the video now now you can go ahead and use a
free tool like open shot video editor where you could you can grab
that open shot.org And this is free drag and drop features. Everything
that you need to make these relaxing videos is right inside of this tool,
as you can see right here on the homepage. For me, I already use
Adobe Premiere Pro to edit my YouTube videos. So it just makes
sense for me to do that. But don't worry everything that is needed to
make one of these relaxing YouTube videos you can do in either these
tools. Here I am inside of the video editor. I'll just find those files
that I saved somewhere What was the name of the folder experiment right.
So I'll just drag and drop the relaxing audio here, right on the
timeline, and then the waterfall stock footage next. And let's see
how that looks and sounds so far. I think it looks good so far. But
because it's a waterfall, I want to add the sound of a waterfall. So
here's how you can get that for free as well on Pixabay where we just
grab the stock footage of the waterfall come up to the search bar
here and change this to sound effects and search for waterfall.
There you go. We have some options here to choose from. Let's say well
this first one sounds like that sounds exactly like what we were
looking for. So I'm going to use our starters don't worry this is see me
that I grabbed the stock footage that also says here that crediting
isn't required much you could also say music from Pixabay Thank you
Pixabay drag and drop not sound effects. I know hear the difference
without the sound effect. And now with the sound effects fact, I think
it makes a big difference. As a matter of fact, I feel relaxed
already. Now, in case you didn't notice, this video clip is just
about 12 seconds long. And if you're anything like me, you can't get
relaxed in 12 seconds. So what we want to do is look this into about
an hour or two hours long, here's how I remember what I'll do is hold
on the Alt button, click drag and drop here to make a copy. And if
there wasn't any camera movement in this scene, what you can do to
easily look this, instead of just connecting the two of them like
this, you go back a little bit, but because there's some camera
movement, you can see there's a skip, and all like that. So undo
that, simply connect them, and I'll add a transition right here. So
right click, apply default transitions. And let's zoom in here
to modify this transition, and go up here and choose to center at cut
back to the timeline, I want to make this transition bigger. I think that
looks almost seamless to me. So what I'll do next is copy all of that
drag and drop to make another copy here, connect those two, add the
same transition in the middle here, apply default transitions, so I get
to select it and drag it to make it bigger just like the other one. And
just repeat that same process. Again, by highlighting the entire
thing dragging and dropping to copy over there and acting and making the
same transition in between here, I think there may be an easier way to
do this, but I just don't know it. Either way, it just takes about a
minute to get this done. So it doesn't really matter. So just looks
like we need to do this one more time to cover the entire audio file.
And there we go. Now it's no, it's too much. So we delete those last
two, add the last transition here. And for the sound effect of the
waterfall, just like we made the copies of the footage, just want to
do the same thing here to get those copies is don't transition and
stuff. So it's just a matter of copying, highlighting making an X
copy, and then repeating that process. And then one last time to
fully cover the duration of the sound, want to trim the ending here.
And if you recall that initial stock footage was just about 12 seconds
long. Now we have almost three minutes of that waterfall on loop.
And to get it up to that hour two hours is just a matter of simply
repeating that process. Now you can just highlight everything, hold on
the All button a keyboard, drag and drop this over here, just like that
filling in the transitions on the stock footage if that's necessary.
And then simply repeating that process highlighting everything
dragging and dropping up here. And now we have 10 minutes, I just need
to do this a few more times. And I can get a full hour of this relaxing
audio on repeat. And I might have a few seconds of dragging and dropping
and making those copies, I was able to take that clip from 12 seconds
all the way up to an hour and 20 minutes. And it's the same thing you
can see transitioning from one scene to the next year seamlessly. After
that, it's simply exporting that video and then uploading it to
YouTube, which is exactly what I'm going to do next. I am a bit excited
to do that, especially after I see how much of this channel is making
monthly from uploading these types of videos. I mean, this guy has
almost 9 million subscribers. So obviously that is not going to
happen overnight, but you have to start somewhere. So if you're
curious if this is possible as a beginner starting from zero
subscribers it is but to actually see evidence of that, you're going
to want to check out this video. Next, we'll look at some successful
channels like the one that we've been looking at. But I also look at
some channels that has less than 1000 subscribers and some just over
1000 as well as how much they can be potentially making or right now and
I'll also cover what you can do to get started with that method as
well. So it's up to you. You can check that out next, and then take
the action like I showed you in this video and start creating these types
of videos yourself. So I'll see you
over there
