YouTube. (Creators, Watchers and all in-between)

Hey everyone. Not posted much in the 2K section of the forum, people seem chill though.

Just wanted to gauge opinion, I couldn't see a similar thread but if there is one please lock this and point me in the right direction so I can bump that instead.

Basically, just wanted to know who does and who doesn't youtube on these forums, doesn't have to be for 2K specifically, me personally, I just started YouTube not long ago and 2K even sooner than that so it is relatively new ground for me. But I think that other content makers, especially guys new to doing it like me could do with a section to support each others work and even unearth new people who may not post here.

Either way, if you do make vids leave a link to your youtube channel page here and I will be sure to sub and watch and what not.

Thanks for reading, stay safe. Stobzilla.

(I'll refrain from posting my channel page for now, don't want it to come across as a shameless plug)

No joke bro, one year ago around the same time I also started my 2K youtube channel. I came to OS too at the beginning to see what type of content people wanted to see. I put out a couple 2k15 videos on May 2014; they got like about 1000 views over three months ? (That's very little obviously, but at that point I was brand new). People on OS saw those vids and they gave me a lot of good critiscism, some even helped me with editing or gave me new ideas for vids.

Fast forward a year, I have about 2300 subs now and 230 000 views (all 2K tips and tutorial content). Also got recognized as a member of #SimNation (this is a huge deal for me lol). You came to the right place man, I feel OS is a great place for creators and watchers to interact; I wouldn't be the video maker I am today without the help of members from OS. So if you have got any 2K video making questions I would be happy to answer ^_^

PS: There are also many other great video makers on here; I am sure they will drop in a nice word in here for you too ^_^

Haha, I'm already subbed to you on YT man. I seriously am bad on this game (I started YT to mainly do NHL content but the game was ... eh ... yeah) so I have picked 2K back up and realised I don't know anything about a sport I actually do like. So naturally I subbed to yourself, Czar et al and I am still terrible. That is purely a reflection on me and not your guys' videos though

It is all a process I guess.

This is just gonna turn into an advertising thread. Well it is already that tbh.

I'm sorry you feel that way about it, just trying to pull the like minded of us in one place to see if we can help each other a bit more. Feel free to participate if you want to though man.

Hmmmm not my intention when I replied OP, but I see your concern. I only wanted to let him hear how OS helped me with my video making process from day one. *Man I used to be soooo bad lol ....

I took out the channel links he asked for, hopefully that is enough. I do think a thread like this has its value. The tech is changing, we can all record gameplay at a touch of a button now. So naturally, a lot more people are gonna lean towards to making their own 2K vids for fun. I just want to share my experience in that aspect of 2K with people who's got questions about it. So let's keep this to how to make 2K videos and what's good/bad. That's what OP was asking for anyways right ?

Just wanted to ask how do you get ideas? From OS members asking questions (like SSOL video)? Or just brainstorming?

Was thinking about making a YT channel of my own and even started doing it in december of 2013 and started getting 70-120 views on my first videos but due to me being ******** and ending up in hospital for two months that fell apart.

I don't know if I will ever begin doing Youtube videos but I'm curious about this topic.

Which programs and tools do you use or recommend to use which are relatively easy and make video look relatively professional or well done? And which tutorials would you suggest watching to get the hang of said programs?
Recommendations on how to make a video? Procedure? Dos an don'ts?

Thanks in advance to anyone who participates.
