- In this list, we have apps, websites, and extensions
that are gonna help you be a better YouTuber.
Starting with, if you want a free and easy to use app
for editing your videos
that will allow you to do key framing
and all kinds of pro level things,
pretty much all the things that you need
to make cool videos,
Videoleap is still the video editing app of choice
if you're on an iPhone.
But if you're on an Android, you will wanna check out VLLO,
it's an awesome app for Android
that will also let you do all of the stuff
that you need to do
to put your videos together on your phone.
This next one is for Twitter.
And the reason that it's important is because as a YouTuber,
it's important to share your own stuff
on your social media from time to time
because those people that are following you
are probably a good fit for your content.
Just so you know quite some time ago,
Twitter acquired a service called TweetDeck.
And the really cool thing about TweetDeck
that is now built into Twitter
is it allows you to schedule posts
and actually manage multiple Twitter accounts,
which as a content creator
this can also be really important.
Here's why, you might have two YouTube channels
or three YouTube channels, or a personal Twitter account
and a YouTube channel Twitter account,
or a business Twitter and YouTube Twitter, you get the idea,
TweetDeck will help you check all of those accounts at once.
It'll help you manage all the messages in those accounts,
everything under one page without you having to log in
and out of accounts all the time.
TweetDeck is free, which makes it even cooler,
all you have to do is go to the TweetDeck URL
when you are going to Twitter
instead of going to twitter.com.
And it's pretty easy to use, set up, and all of that stuff
that's important to us as people that are using the tool.
Next on the list is for live streamers.
If you're doing a live stream
where you're showing anything at all on your screen,
if you're training, you're showing how-to stuff,
you're just having conversations with people
and you want pull up websites,
or YouTube channels, or whatever,
there's a little extension that I use called Page Marker
that lets me actually mark on the screen while I'm live.
Page Marker is also free,
but the really cool thing about Page Marker
is it just helps you bring attention
to what it is that you're actually focusing on.
Because if you're streaming
and you're trying to point to something
obviously people aren't gonna see what you're pointing to.
So when you use Page Marker, it helps you actually highlight
what it is that you want to bring attention to.
Now this next one I mentioned in a video while a back
while it was still in beta, but now it's officially open.
This tool will help you with your workflow,
everything from writing scripts,
to making sure that you're hopping on trends,
to answering comments in bulk,
all kinds of really awesome features for YouTubers
that help you simplify and optimize your workflow
around producing content.
The name of the tool is called Tube Spanner.
And like I said before,
one of the really awesome things about it
is their trend spotter, where it'll help you identify
trending topics in your particular niche.
And if you watched the video that I published,
I think it was two videos before this one,
then you know the importance
of making sure that you're staying up on trends
in your particular space,
more views, trends can bring you a lot more views.
If you show screenshots in your content for any reason,
if you're doing tutorials,
if you're reviewing anything or anything like that
where you need to show screenshots,
check out Full Page Screen Capture for Chrome,
it basically captures the entire page,
not just what it is that you see,
but it'll capture the entire page.
So for this one, I use the Full Page Screen Capture
or I'll use FireShot, both of them are awesome.
Next on the list,
if you want to make a really cool intro for your channel,
or you want to use an intro type of graphic
for any of the tech slides that you use in your videos
or anything like that, then in that situation
you are going to wanna check out Placeit.
They have an entire section on their website
dedicated to all of the things that YouTubers need
in terms of graphics, and mock ups and things like that.
So you definitely, as a content creator,
you definitely need to check out Placeit.
I'm sure you've seen Placeit mentioned
in quite a few of my videos recently.
So if you haven't checked them out yet,
you definitely need to.
Next on the list is something that I personally made myself,
which I think personally made myself
pretty much means the same thing.
But anyway, it's a content planner
that works with the good Notes app.
And within this content planner,
you can set goals, you can do monthly recaps,
you can also literally write out the content
that you're going to make.
You can even draw little arrows
to content that you're going to link together,
all types of really, really cool stuff.
The planner is designed around how I make content
and the things that I find important
when I'm planning content and things like that,
but you can check that out at padplanit.com,
and that's padplanit, with i,
not pad planet like out in space.
If you've been streaming a lot lately,
or you're new to live streaming,
and you found the whole process
of live streaming to be complicated,
and you're like, oh my gosh, there's just so much involved
with setting up all these scenes,
doing all these complicated things,
then you'll want to check out StreamYard.
StreamYard is a web based streaming service
that makes live streaming crazy easy.
I've actually been using it a lot lately,
when I do my group live streams on Saturdays.
Oh, and those live streams,
they happen every Saturday at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
So as long as you're awake, make sure that you swing by
and get your YouTube questions answered during Nimmin Live.
But anyway, with StreamYard,
another really cool thing about it
is it takes the complicated part
out of bringing other guests onto your show.
So for example, if I wanted to have somebody
come on the show, which I do, I just send a link out,
I drop that link in Facebook,
and then anybody that's in that Facebook group
can join anytime they want.
And there's no complicated setup,
there's no complicated thing
that you have to do in order to pull them in.
They literally click on the link
and then you just approve them,
and then they come right into the stream,
it's pretty awesome.
Do you need music for your videos
but you don't want to spend any money?
If so, then this next one is for you.
As a content creator, you may or may not know,
depending on how much you explore
what's going on inside of your YouTube channel,
but you may or may not know
that there is a free audio library
put together by YouTube for YouTubers.
It's called the YouTube Audio Library,
and you can actually use the music that's in there.
But here's one thing that I do recommend
if you are going to use the YouTube Audio Library.
The very first thing is I really recommend
that you sort by attribution not required,
and what that means is when you use one of those tracks,
if the attribution is not required
for the track that you're using,
that means that you don't have to give anybody credit,
which means that you're not putting anything at risk.
However, if you download a track
where the attribution is required,
and you forget to give credit, then you can get yourself
into a little bit of trouble on YouTube.
So because of that, you wanna make sure
that either, one, you are making sure
that you're giving credit where it's due,
or two, you just use songs that don't require credit.
Hopefully that little tidbit there
just saved you a ton of headache.
Since you are a YouTube content creator,
I know some of you are using LUTs for your videos,
LUTs just in case you're not familiar with what that is,
it's called a Look Up Table, and it's kind of like a preset
that you load into your videos
so that you can make your color look awesome
and things like that.
For example, Vegard, the guy who edits my videos,
he makes the videos look like this,
and you can see that the color and everything,
it just pops, everything looks good,
but the really cool thing about LUTs
is he can actually dial all that stuff in as a preset,
and then he can turn it on, turn it off,
turn it on, turn it off, he can bring it in,
he can make little tweaks to it
in order to make sure that the video
looks as good as possible.
But anyway, Vegard puts together these preset packs
that make making your videos look really good, really easy.
And you can find those at his filmmaking store.
I'll put a link to that
and everything that I've been talking about
in the description down below.
And one more thing I wanna tell you as a heads up
if you are not looking into,
or if you're not familiar with the idea of LUTs
and how you can use them, live streamers can use LUTs too.
So if you're a live streamer,
you can also apply these through OBS and Streamlabs OBS
to really make your live streams pop as well.
So you're not just limited to video,
you can use them for videos and live stream.
So if you're trying to create that branded experience
where everything that you're doing looks the same,
then you can apply them to your live streams as well.
I have all of these things listed
and a bunch more over at bestcreatortools.com.
I'll put a link to that down in the description below.
