I am huge on preproduction, and if you can do most of the work in preproduction you will spend less time behind the camera and less time in post/editing. I always write down my video ideas, write down what I want to say and what points I need to cover.
I usually don't write a script because sometimes that gets a little too monotone and can sound like a robot and your personality can't come through.
I also write down and particular camera angles that I want in preproduction.
After I am done with preproduction, I set up the scene, if I need lights I will set up lights, etc.
I shoot the video.
Edit the video in Adobe Premiere Pro
Upload to YouTube.

Like I said, I am big on preproduction and doing a lot of the work before hand rather than waste time, SD Card space, and PC time editing and redoing shots.

That is for my Tech/Main Channel.
For my gaming channel I just get an idea of what I want to do in an episode/Let's Play.
I test out the equipment to make sure it's working, then I record.
Edit in Premiere, upload to my gaming channel, PlayerSelectGaming.

Okay this is how I made the video in my signature (check it out!)

1-I took my camera out to the city with me and recorded a bunch of clips
2-I put the SD card in my laptop and put all the clips on my harddrive.
3-I picked a song
4-I dropped all the clips and music into Sony Vegas Pro 9
5-I put them on the tracks and cut them up to the beat
6-Added some transitions and effects

VIOLA...a video
 
1. I record the game, and say hi. Tell them what we will be playing.
2. Ending is me saying thanks, and subscribe.
3. I edit in camtasia
4. I render it as an mp4 file
5. I upload it to youtube
6. I post it on my social sites
7. I show my friends
8. I add it to a playlist
9. I set it as featured video.
 
My videos take a while to be honest. I create a basic script so I know what I'm talking about. I then film all the shots I require along with the script. I then film extra clips that I can use as picture in picture effects etc. I then move this into my editing program and edit the video together to produce the final video, before uploading to youtube and creating a custom thumbnail image.
A 15min video can take me the best part of a day depending on how much detail is needed to cover the review. I'm in the process of uploading another video which I had to thoroughly test beforehand and its taken the best part of several days to just film all the sections required!
 
1. Load up After Effects
2. Start to animate ponies
