-Hi, guys. A very good morning everyone.
Currently, I am in the jungles of Georgia.
from this location. If you remember, my name is Khan.
Some of it was short in Wilhelmina, some sort of village.
here I feel the similar vibes in the jungle.
Currently, I'm trapped from the last five, six days. Super bored at home
I'm waiting for the news when it will be announce
all over and you can hang out with your friends.
Anyways, in this video I'll be sharing how much money I have
spent to reach 100,000 subscribers or even 240,000 subscribers.
How much money I spent before 100k and after 100k.
Without any further ado, let's get started. Story begines
when I wanted to start my YouTube channel,
it was mainly related to computer science, reaction videos.
I just had my one phone that was OnePlus
Five phone but the problem with this
phone was that the headphone jack or the audio
jack of this phone stopped working.
The only option was [Indian language].
I can use my computer to put in the audio and then
sync it up but the audio quality of this was decent.
I used to vlog either with the front camera or the back camera.
That's how it started in the earlier days till 1,000 subscribers.
Later on, I thought of making an investment for computer science
videos and reaction videos so I bought this Logitech C920 webcam.
This costed me $50. [Indian language], I also bought another
microphone that was also around $30 to $40.
That was Yeti Blue-Ice microphone, which I don't have
it right now but that was an investment in the earlier stages.
Well, this is the official grade comparison
between the United States and India.
-Who's representing the United States?
-You obviously. [laughter]
-I'm wondering.
-Then somehow after using actually these two, actually these three setups,
microphone, this webcam, and this phone,
I crossed 5,000 subscribers in early 2018.
That was a great moment and I was very happy about it.
One more important thing that happened in 2018
was Apple released its revolutionary iPhone
XS Max, iPhone XR and they had one of the best
cameras I have ever seen in a smartphone.
Even Marques Brownlee tells that they have
the best video camera in a smartphone.
Still this is true right now for iPhone 11 as well.
That day I just watched his video because I have
been following him from the last four years.
[Indian language] I just commented [Indian language].
He said just comment the color of iPhone XR
you need and I will ship it to you after one week.
I said, "Why not? It's so easy. Why not?" I just commented.
I commented on his video and later on, on Monday-- I wasn't excited for it.
I had even forgotten that I commented on his video.
I just saw an email, "Hey, I've won an iPhone?"
I thought it must be a scam or something.
Later on, I checked Twitter of Marques Brownlee
and it was legitimate because he posted my comment.
"Singh in USA, he commented he needs red color."
That just made my day and I was so excited.
Within seven to eight days I got my free iPhone XR.
That's how my real YouTube career started.
I was able to connect a microphone with my iPhone.
The microphone that I bought was-- [background noise]
-This is the microphone that I bought.
It was BOYA microphone, it was for $20.
With the help of that I was even able to do some vlogging.
I used to put it on my shirt and hide it underneath.
Then with the wire hanging [Indian language], the wire was visible hanging
around but it was okay because I didn't want to spend a lot of money.
Using this video, I also filmed a day in life of an international student.
[Indian language] using front camera, sometimes back camera.
I used to have this wire hanging around and I used to film.
That video crossed 150,000 views by now
and that was my favorite video back then too.
[Indian language] I should make more a day in life videos.
That's how the real Singh in USA started.
This is the iPhone XR which was gifted to me by
Marques Brownlee but I have gifted to someone special.
I just borrowed it.
The problem with this lens was that it wasn't wide enough.
[Indian language] vlogging camera like this it was just covering just my face.
So [Indian language] I had to purchase the lens.
[Indian language] career with [?]
lens, but then moving on like after two or three months, [Indian language]
I should upgrade to this lens because it is very easy to attach.
That's why in this journey I bought this
Moment lens, which is a wide-angle lens.
The quality in low-light conditions for this lens is
much better than the wide-angle lens of the iPhone 11.
Along with that, the other two lenses I purchased were Fisheye lens
and also the Zoom lens because this iPhone doesn't have the zoom lens.
[Indian language] I bought another microphone that was
mobile microphone because that was a vlogging microphone.
As it was a directional microphone, it used to accept
audio-only from the front side and ignore it from the backside.
That's how I filmed at Harvard.
[video plays]
-Also, I made a day in life at NCR, a day in life of software engineer.
After that point I actually crossed 100,000 subscribers.
[video plays] [music]
-At this point when I crossed 100,000 subscribers I had
spent a total of around $150 or even less than that.
From now to improve the audio quality I bought Rode VideoMic Pro Plus,
which costed me $300, and also this vlogging set up by Joby and [?].
Joby 3K tripod which is $80 but [Indian language]
so it costed me $50. Also this mobile tripod mount.
Or you can say iPhone mount, mobile mount, whatever you want to call it.
This costed me around $25, and with the help of this I can connect
or attach my microphone to the setup and then vlog.
Things became very easy from this point.
Later on I also bought these headphones so
that I can edit my videos on the plane [?].
These are Sony's wireless microphone which are
allowing me to edit seamlessly in the airplane. [Indian language]
airplane [Indian language], the noise is way too much.
[Indian language] edit [Indian language].
Because I had to increase the volume by a lot.
That's why these helped me a lot so.
[video plays] -[Indian language] iPhone setup.
Other than the iPhone I have bought two more cameras.
Number one is DJI maverick mini. [Indian language]
actually because I paid $40 extra to get insurance.
[Indian language] $500 [Indian language]
for the fly mode combo because
I think with this Maverick mini two more batteries were important.
[Indian language]
it gives you like 20 to 25 minutes of flight time.
[Indian language]
you can get the fast charger along with the combo
and you can charge three batteries at once, so its very convenient.
Other than this drone I had bought, first of all,
I bought the number one 360 camera that was Insta 360 1X.
I really enjoyed using it when at Harvard and MIT [Indian language].
After that point I sold that 360 camera, [Indian language]
around $500 [Indian language] $470 [Indian language].
[Indian language] $330 [Indian language]
then I bought this. [Indian language]
because editing on GoPro Max
is much easier as compared to on Insta-360 1X.
[Indian language] easy [Indian language]
but I really enjoyed this more because [Indian language]
seamless experience [Indian language] on iPhone.
Now moving on with the video editing part so you might think as I have
MacBook Pro I might be using Final Cut Pro for most of my videos.
That's not true because Final Cut Pro has one
glitch that I'll share later on this video.
That's why I have used Filmora for more than 100
of my videos, and I bought it for $50 in the beginning
and I was using trial version first and then
I paid $50 and it was just an amazing experience.
If you have been following me for a while you must have also
seen me editing using Filmora in the beginning of my career.
That's why I am very happy to announce that
Filmora Go is the sponsor of this video.
Using Filmora Go you can edit seamlessly.
Honestly iPhone has better video editing experience as
compared to Android because iPhone's graphics are much better.
They export it very quickly as compared to Android smartphones.
I've been using my iPhone to edit videos.
Using Filmora Go I can easily cut, crop, add effect, I can even add music.
It has a great music collection of no copyright music so you can
import directly from there or you can just add your own music.
You can do whatever you want to that is possible
on Final Cut Pro or any video editing software is
technically possible on Filmora Go, on mobile version and also the [?]
Filmora on Macs, PC, et cetera.
It's just an amazing experience so definitely
check it out in the link in the description below.
Now talking about Final Cut Pro.
I use Final Cut Pro from like other remaining
videos, like other than the 100 videos.
The problem with Final Cut Pro is that
whatever video I import from my iPhone the dot and movie format there's one
glitch that comes up somehow in the video.
[Indian language] glitch.
The solution to that is that I have to use optimized playback
when I'm importing the video so that I don't get that glitch.
The con is that it takes forever to export
that video because Transcode [Indian language]
when I'm optimizing the media it fills up the storage so fast.
Technically one minute of the video is
around like 10 GB in an optimized format.
It fills up my storage very fast and it takes super long to
export when I'm optimizing the footage imported from iPhones.
That's why I prefer to use Filmora Go sometimes
whenever I'm in a plane or maybe in class.
Whenever I'm multitasking, Filmora Go solves
the purpose and storage problem [Indian language].
The size of the video exported is much smaller as
compared to the file exported using Final Cut Pro.
That's why it solves the purpose.
I really enjoy editing on both Final Cut Pro
and Filmora Go and also sometimes Filmora on my laptop.
This is how my iPhone 11 [?] setup looks like.
The conclusion is you don't need to spend $500
on this setup because of many [Indian language] videos [Indian language]
just for the iPhone 11 like holding it like this or with the iPhone 10R.
Because the audio quality of iPhone is just amazing.
All you need is good content to get yourself started on YouTube.
That's pretty much it.
Thanks so much watching, and I will see you guys in the next one.
Goodbye.
