I have gotten pretty good at making Youtube videos.  Below I will show you how to make your own semi pro YouTube videos.  All that is required is a YouTube account, a web cam, a microphone and video editing software.

Now that you have a YouTube account, a web cam, a microphone, and video edition software the next step is to make them work together.

Open your video software.  I use "Windows Movie Maker" which came with my computer.  I have a standard (cheap) web cam, and a standard (cheap) microphone.  Use the software that came with your web cam to shot live video footage.  Drag and drop or upload the captured footage to your video editing software. 

I use music with my videos - most of the time.  I use free-share music.  YouTube does not like you stealing popular artist music, and will mute your video if you are caught.  So, just don't do it.  Use the free stuff.  This site that I get most of my free music is listed to the right. 

Depending on your video editing software -- you can manipulate text, sound, and appearance of objects in your YouTube video.  So, don't be afraid to play around with your editing software.

Now that you have your video the way you like it -- it's time to upload it to Youtube.  It's simple.  Just follow the uploading instructions on YouTube's site. 

Example one - This video includes music, live web cam footage and manipulated text. 

Example two - This video includes music, photos and manipulated text.
