was just the other day but I made this video over here well this channel that makes videos
about psychological Facts YouTube shorts to be exact where somebody could easily try this and
not have to use their face or their voice and all the way at the ending of that video I promised to
analyze one of those videos breaking it down to see exactly how it is made but more importantly
to create a video like that myself and of course I promise to do that if you would liked and
subscribed that video so here I am delivering on my promise because you liked and subscribed right
well I'll just put this back up right here in case you might have forgotten at the end of that video
and missed that step and once you finish doing that let's get straight into creating this video
and to be clear as to exactly what we're getting into let's quickly take a look at Psychology
arcade's Channel specifically that short navigate to a popular Tab and I'll just check out any one
of these top ranking videos this one here that was 3.7 million views I believe this is the one that
we looked at in the last video so let's just break this down there is stock footage in the background
it's just a beach with some waves breaking sunset in the background and it's a really short clip
you can't hear it in this video but there is some quiet music playing in the background then
the last thing there is some simple text on the screen where you can just simply read the fact the
psychology fact and of course the title which is very specific dreams fact anyway who am I to bash
how simple that is because if that got 3.7 million views I can't really argue with that right this
is my highest video on this channel 44 000 views now to make a video like this there are ways to do
this automatically like I would have mentioned in a few of my previous videos like this one
but the thing about doing it automatically is that yes of course it saves a lot of time but
what that does cost you is some money and there's a chance that if you're trying this you might not
want to spend any money I know I certainly don't which is why for this particular video I'm going
to try a method to do this from beginning to ending for absolutely free 100 free whereby
the first thing that we need to look at is the video script the words that are on the screen
and there are many ways that you can go about this but the easiest thing to do is really just
switching on Google Now type in Psychology facts and to pick a topic I'll just choose
one of these that show up in the suggestions these suggestions are things that people are
actually searching for on Google I would pick about girls with examples but that one might
make this short a little bit too long so I would just pick this second one psychology facts about
girls open a few of these in some different tabs what I would simply do next is pick one of these
psychology facts from one of these articles that's one of them and this other one this
one seems to have a little bit more details in this wheels are born with a superior sense of
intuition I'll just go with this first one the rest of the information describing this fact is
right below here and here's the thing this is for YouTube short I don't need to copy this and paste
it into a Google doc or anything like that I can just leave the tab open and when I'm editing the
video Simply copy the stuff that I need from here and paste it into the YouTube shot but don't worry
we'll get to that the second thing that we'll be looking at is the footage required for the
YouTube short at the final one I'm actually going to search for I'll just take a quick
skim of the content in this fact so I'll know what keywords to look for on the stock footage
site that I'll be opening next pixaby based on what I've just read you may be thinking what I
should be searching for is something to do with that paragraph but what is important to remember
is the person on the other side of the video the person looking at this and having a scenery
in the background something calming might be more useful maybe something like a waterfall background
and I'm gonna just take any one of these by clicking it hitting the free download button
and then simply downloading it and saving a tell location that I can find it the next thing is to
get that light music playing in the background now back over on Google just simply search for YouTube
audio or library and once you've created your YouTube channel when you hit this link it will
redirect you to that particular section in your YouTube Studio where you now have access to all
of these files where you can simply just hit the download button and get it for free and just so
that it's clear the license type YouTube says that you can use this audio track in any of your videos
including videos that you monetize what I'll do is click this drop down here choose the mood a calm
mood hit apply and grab one of these tracks hit download save it somewhere I always have
the problem of looking for the stuff that I save hopefully you have a better way of organizing your
things the next step is now to edit the video well what I usually use to edit my YouTube videos is
Adobe Premiere Pro but this costs some money and as I said we're not going to spend any money to do
there's also an excellent editing tool called Adobe openshot so just search for openshot hit the
first link and you'll see this award-winning tool where you can simply just drag and drop the clips
so hit the download button find the operating system of your choice hit download once you've
installed it this is what it looks like the first thing that I do is go up to this icon here that
looks like some old film what this does is you can modify the profile because the standard YouTube
video would be in 1920 by 1080p but we need to flip that around for the YouTube shot because it's
vertical find that right here by HD vertical 1080p by 1920. and what I'm going to do next is drag and
drop the stuff that I just downloaded the music as well as the video we got around now this is the
video preview here for the YouTube short and as you can see it is vertical if you wanted to show
the footage over the entire YouTube shot what you'll have to do is stretch this out and once
you're comfortable with the size of it I think what I'll do is leave a little bit of space on the
top of the screen well put the title and to put in the title just come over you guessed it to title
click that then title and you can pick any one of these templates to proceed with to keep things
simple I'll just choose this one and rename this to psychology fact and then hit save does she know
how this will look in our video right here what you'll have to do is click it drag and drop it
onto this track I'm seeing here now that the font that I choose it just seems to be disappearing
with this video footage so I can go back and modify that by right clicking here edit title
I'm gonna go ahead and change the color maybe this time for Simplicity we just choose black
and save this does look better maybe you want to increase it a little bit bring that up actually
let's keep it in the middle maybe not the best choice of color here but this is really meant to
be an example now to add in the actual content for the video the psychology fact you're going to be
using the same tool that we just used create this title so come back over to title and just choose
any one of these maybe this one with the cloud you get the content just head back over to that blog
post copy this first line on an open shot paste it right here in line one or maybe break it into two
lanes copying that and pasting it here save right click one of these rocks and hit add track above
come back to your library click and drag this paste it right here and if you wanted you could go
into these transitions here just to add a little bit of flavor to Simplicity I just want to make
sure this thing works because that transition is not going to get you more views it's the content
that is what really matters and right before I give a preview of this short I think I'll make
just a minor change here by changing the title color something that will pop a little bit better
a bright green as well as change the font let's get something bold let's see how this one looks
and that's pretty much it the stock footage the background music the text on the screen
with all of that just being done in a few minutes really that is how simple this could
actually be now in the next video what I'll be doing is exploring some ways that you can make
some money with YouTube shorts like this one which does not rely on you having to wait to
be approved into the YouTube Partner program so be sure to subscribe if you want to see that one
wait there was one last thing before you go if this video method was interesting to you
but you would have liked to save some time by creating the video almost automatically then
watch this video next where I show you exactly how to do that so I'll see you over there
