Hello, my bitrate is at 5000 what do you think I should raise it to?Hey J, (I'm going t assume it's only one of you posting this here). Thanks for sending this in.
I didn't really like this channel ad. I didn't feel like it sold the chanel very well. It mostly was gameplay of different games with music over it. I'd recommend including some sort of audio from the clips so people get an undrestanding of what your channel is about (i.e. include some of the commentary from the Battle Block video you've featured). You also want to try include a "call to action" encouraging people to subscribe. So during the trailer add a subscribe button the viewer can click at any time and at the end encourage them to subscribe by adding a larger one. That way you can drive more people to subscribing.
Anyway, hope this helped. Feel free to contact me if you need anything.[DOUBLEPOST=1438446675][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hi Jesse, thanks for sending this one in.
I will applaud you for creating a video that's not a full SG game and actually going in to edit it some. The first major thing I came across when watching was the opening. There's nothing inherently wrong with the intro itself but I'd recommend against using one as people get very bored when they see it and will switch off (check your audience retention stats, you usually see a drop off of viewers during the intro). Then there's the fade into the actual video itself, you faded into you talking which generally isn't a good idea; try making the fade shorter and fade in to before you start talking so the audience can clearly hear what you say.
Transitions is also something that needs to be worked on, it's all good having this pro software with all the flashy transitions but there is going overboard and sometimes it's really easy to do. Pick a transition that's simple and use that throughout, that'll give you a professional feel. As for audio you may want to sort out some mixing elements; I thought the game sound was too high so you may want to bring that up in your editing software.
The rest of the video was fine though, I thought the video quality was pretty good as well, but you may want to try turning up some bitrates a little as it it did look low quality when blown up to full screen. Other than that, it was pretty solid. Feel free to contact me if you need anything else.[DOUBLEPOST=1438447104][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hi Xellius, there's not much for me to comment on here so I'll just let you know that the text is slightly fast so you may want to consider slowing down a tad and the audio is fine for this video.
Feel free to contact me if you need anything else.
Hello, my bitrate is at 5000 what do you think I should raise it to?
Thanks so much!Hi again Jesse,
I usually use a preset that has a bitrate of about 8000 which usually does the trick just fine
Thanks for putting this thread up! I really appreciate it!
Here's a video review of Nothing To Hide. Is there anything needed to be fixed (like, organization, order, etc.?)
Thanks again, @SwitchBladeJay!
Some feedback on my new war thunder video would be niceHi, I'm Jamie.

Think you missed mine
No worries though!
Well seeing that for lorecast audio is the morst important part I would love to hear what you think of it

Ok will doAhh Christ, sorry man. I genuinely have no idea how I missed yours. Entirely my fault, I put it to me just being a massive dunce for the past week or so XD.
I really liked the channel trailer, made me laugh a bit and put the point across about the channel (games and explosions and whatnot XD). I really liked it. The Witcher video is also great, but I found it too lengthy for my tastes. You can keep audience interest by cutting out parts of the video that aren't really important and allowing the viewer to see only that parts that they want to see. I realize that for this particular style of video doesn't really require much editing, but that's my whole take on that; feel free to ignore that advice if you like the video better without cuts.
One main thing I can recommend is using compressor effects to your voice. I can see you're using an Audio Technica AT-2020 (the mic I'm using at the moment ) so to get that in-studio/radio professional/punchy effect, I'd recommend using a compressor in an audio program like Audacity or Audition. That way your mic will give you crisp sounding audio with that awesome "radio effect" that you hear in a lot of big name YouTuber's videos.
Another thing is FPS; I noticed that your video was in 60FPS but I couldn't really see it. In fact I saw more lag than anything. It may be a problem on my end, but make sure that the video you're making is recorded, edited and exported as a 60FPS video. Going under at any one of these stages means that you're video will not look like a 60FPS video.
Anyway, hope this helped. Feel free to contact me about anything you may need.[DOUBLEPOST=1438803333][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hi rig, thanks for sending this into me. Really like the video style, reminds me a lot of old radio drama projects I've worked on.
As for the audio, there's a couple of pointers I can give you. For a start, try improve your diction. I know that you're not a native English speaker, but if you're going to speak in English you'll need to work on your voice so the majority can understand you. When you record a voice over, listen back to it and ask yourself "would an English speaker be able to understand me?"
The second thing is EQ and effects. The first thing that stood out for me is how amplified the low frequencies sound in your voice. sound can be split into different frequencies; generally these boil down to 3 different main types: low's, for all the deep vocals and bass sounds, highs, for all the higher pitch sounds, and mids, for everything in between. I could hear in your voice that the low frequencies were particularly loud in comparison to the rest of your voice. I always recommend adding some sort of effects to your voice to make it sound better than the clean audio you hear straight from the mic. In your case, I'd point you towards learning how to Equalize your voice so it sounds better. Then you may want to consider using a compressor to level out the volume and add a punchy sound to the voice over.
Usually I point people in the direction of Audacity for audio editing, but for something like this I'd recommend giving Adobe Audition a try. Since this project is centered around the vocals as a main, this software will allow the precision and control you need to make your voice, sound effects and composition mixing sound great for this style.
Hope this helped you man. Feel free to contact me of you need anything else.[DOUBLEPOST=1438901871][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hi Jesse, thanks for sending this one in. Love the fact that you're back for more, it just goes to show that you're adamant to improve and that's a great thing .
Of course well done for addressing the issues in the last post. I believe in the idea of learning step by step so if you come back to me with a new video, I'll see if I can find something to improve. This is only so I can be as effective as I can be in helping you out so please don't think that I'm just hard to please, it's the way I teach.
Again, good work on addressing the issues previously. You should now try focus on your audio. Most big name YouTubers have this really awesome sounding audio and it can be achieved through adding effects. Look into Audacity and compression to try and give your voice the "Radio effect" use other youtubers videos as a comparison and try to make it really punchy and balanced.
Now you should also submit your videos to other people too. I can only help you so much and a second opinion is never a bad idea. Try it and see what you can come up with
What Can I do to improve
I could not find the radio effect , but I did change the audio up a little! Feedback would be nice !Hi, I'm Jamie.

Hey, what do you think about this video? What could I improve?
