My YouTube Video Process (OLD)
This is out of date and the current process is in: YouTube Production Checklist
- Write an Outline
- Write a script and/or Intro
- Is there a video I can mention or reference in this video?
- Come up with 10 title options
- Determine what the thumbnail should be
- Make the thumbnail (before recording the video)
- If the thumbnail sucks, no need to go any further
- Record the A-Roll (Dialog)
- Do an initial cut of the dialog
- Note B-Roll we need with markers (Blue)
- Note chapters via markers in another color (Purple)
- Take that list from DaVinci Resolve and record all the B-Roll
- Write a description for
moc/YouTube
- Be sure to add relevant tags
- Create named clips of that B-Roll in DaVinci Resolve
- Overlay those B-Roll clips on the markers
- Change the markers to green as you have filled each
- This gives us a todo list of remaining tasks
- Rewatch at 2x Speed and do a final edit
- Chop up any long-running clips to stay interesting
- Add chapters via markers in another color
- Add Intro, Subscribe callouts and outro
