What do you need to start a successful YouTube channel?How To Make Money Online From Home ?
Depending on what you're planning to capture on film, you'll need to get the right set-up sorted early doors.
There's no point in using your iPhone to record the most hilarious vlogs ever seen – a decent set-up goes a long way towards showing that you're serious and having people respect your videos.
If you want a video to look professional, make sure you have an HD camera or webcam (not a phone!), an external microphone, a computer and some editing software.
If you're recording console games you'll need a game capture card too!
Famous You Tubers was also generous enough to share their tips for the specific equipment and software he'd recommend for someone starting out on YouTube. We've combined their advice with some of our own pearls of wisdom to create a six-point list to getting started on YouTube.
YouTube channel starter kit
1. A decent camera or webcam – Quality is important and you'll need to record your videos in full 1080p HD if at all possible.
2. Video editing software – iMacs have pretty decent video editing software included (iMovie), but for PC users or iMac owners who want something a little more advanced, there are more options. We recommend a few programs Adobe Premier, VEGAS and Final Cut Pro, or you can try Light works.
3. Microphone – Most cameras come with a microphone, but if you're looking for top sound quality you might need to purchase a separate device altogether. Depending on your budget.
4. Lighting – Splashing out on lighting isn't essential, but some top You Tubers swear by it. You can either get creative with the lights you already have around the house, or you can buy some dedicated video lighting.
5. A decent backdrop – If you're filming a vlog, you might want to set up a decent backdrop. You can stick with a plain color, or jazz it up a bit making whatever room you're filming in look really nice (but not too distracting!)
