Yeah I,m trying to buy some graphics.
Any tips on how to make them better? I don't really like my thumbnails all that much anyway...
This was what I was afraid of. I've been told that before. I'm trying to improve that aspect of my videos.
Really? I've never noticed that before. Ig it doesn't show while I'm actually playing the game. Other than the BF4 gameplay, my framerates are like 45-60 fps.
Thank you for some tips. I will try to implement those.
So ig the sound quality is good then?
No, I asked for criticism. i need it to improve and get more people to actually subscribe. Thank you for taking the time and effort to actually respond with valid criticisms and help me to get better. I wanted your type of criticism because you were thorough, you noted ways I could improve, and you seem like you know what you're talking about.
Yeah, I'm guessing even Jacksepticeye had some bad videos in his early days. Ty for the feedback, I will take it and improve on it.
Yeah, in game you wouldn't notice much change, but the recording software itself will drop heavily if you don't got enough power to run it. It happened in some of my earliest videos where playing was fine so I didn't think much of it but then in editing or uploading I notice that its laggy as hell. So nowadays when I record I play in windowed mode everything and monitor OBS for CPU usage and frame rates in case of any massive spike in quality drop.
How to improve thumbnails, hard to say, what I did for a while was checked all the top channels and looked at their style, then I had that in mind and played around with it to make something my own that I like. I usually start out with a high quality image from the game that is centered around a character or a really "eye catching" scene, like in my outlast series I grab the monster from each episode as the main focal point. Then I add my face to it in a much smaller capacity, tweak colors, contrasts, etc to my liking and go with that.
Basically it's trial and error, and learning/practice, getting to know your photo editing software and take inspiration from your favorites.
One thing I forgot in last post is the balance between your commentary and game audio needs some minor tweaking, when the game volume hits a spike it completely overpowers your voice, it's just too loud for a softer commentary.
Oh yeah, Jack's early videos were balls deep in shiet. The webcam and mic an all were crap, but he managed to get upwards of 2k subs or so in the earlier days of YT with that quality of content, then he grew a fair amount from pewdiepie's shoutout and that let him boost his video quality, audio quality, etc and as time went on he got more confidence and his content became what we know today.
In all honesty I think most YTT tubers videos are higher quality day 1 then old tubers had in their first year even, maybe more. But since YT is such a battlefield now, it's hard to breakthrough even knowing that, people are accustomed to much higher quality from their favorites.
