+WEBVTT captioned by anush and sachac
+
+NOTE Introduction
+
+00:00.000 --> 00:01.233
+Hey, I'm Gopar
+
+00:01.266 --> 00:00:03.244
+and today I'm going to talk about
+
+00:00:03.245 --> 00:00:04.700
+being an Emacs influencer
+
+00:04.733 --> 00:07.066
+and try to convince you to be one too.
+
+00:07.100 --> 00:08.466
+Hopefully that goes well.
+
+00:08.500 --> 00:12.433
+If not, we'll see at the end of the talk.
+
+NOTE Knowledge grows when it is shared
+
+00:12.466 --> 00:14.833
+But first, I want to share something,
+
+00:14.866 --> 00:17.500
+and that is: that knowledge grows when it is shared.
+
+00:17.533 --> 00:19.500
+This is usually how I end my videos.
+
+00:19.533 --> 00:21.233
+Some of you may be familiar with this.
+
+00:21.266 --> 00:25.466
+I say this quote because I believe there is truth to it.
+
+00:25.500 --> 00:27.833
+The more you share something, the more you reinforce it,
+
+00:27.866 --> 00:30.466
+and the more the knowledge grows, not just for you,
+
+00:30.500 --> 00:33.466
+but for everybody else around it with who you share it with.
+
+00:33.500 --> 00:34.400
+With that being said,
+
+00:34.400 --> 00:36.300
+there's only one question I want to ask you.
+
+NOTE When's the last time you shared something?
+
+00:36.333 --> 00:39.300
+That is: what is the last time you shared something?
+
+00:39.333 --> 00:41.333
+Now, the sharing of knowledge
+
+00:41.366 --> 00:43.000
+doesn't just have to be about Emacs.
+
+00:43.000 --> 00:45.633
+It can just be about other things that you learn in life.
+
+00:45.666 --> 00:47.200
+There's plenty of things
+
+00:47.200 --> 00:50.833
+that I share with people that I've learned in life,
+
+00:50.866 --> 00:53.500
+and I hope that they learn from what I'm saying as well.
+
+00:53.533 --> 00:54.866
+Learn from the mistakes in others
+
+00:54.900 --> 00:56.100
+type of deal, things like that.
+
+00:56.133 --> 00:58.333
+But anyway, since this is EmacsConf,
+
+00:58.366 --> 01:01.066
+we're gonna keep it to Emacs-related,
+
+01:01.100 --> 01:02.633
+so we're going to find ways
+
+01:02.666 --> 01:04.700
+on how to share all that Emacs knowledge
+
+01:04.733 --> 01:07.200
+that is locked up inside you guys' brain.
+
+NOTE Sharing Emacs
+
+01:07.200 --> 01:09.266
+So sharing Emacs, how can we do that?
+
+01:09.300 --> 01:10.800
+Well, there's a few ways.
+
+01:10.800 --> 01:13.666
+We can do meetups and conferences, aka EmacsConf,
+
+01:13.700 --> 01:16.033
+like we're doing now. So hopefully one of you guys
+
+01:16.066 --> 01:18.300
+might be incentivized to share the knowledge
+
+01:18.333 --> 01:20.700
+that you have in the next upcoming year,
+
+01:20.733 --> 01:23.466
+or the future ones, or be a repeated presenter.
+
+01:23.500 --> 00:01:25.960
+The list goes on and on.
+
+00:01:25.961 --> 01:30.233
+Blog posts. So, one of the easier entries to [??]
+
+01:30.266 --> 01:31.200
+because it is writing
+
+01:31.200 --> 01:32.666
+and you don't have to do video,
+
+01:32.700 --> 01:34.900
+not like the other formats that I'm about to present.
+
+01:34.933 --> 01:37.400
+Tweeting is also an easier format as well
+
+01:37.400 --> 01:40.000
+because it's even smaller than a blog post, more condensed,
+
+01:40.000 --> 01:43.433
+and you can use hashtags. When I was learning,
+
+01:43.466 --> 01:46.000
+when I was reading the Org Mode manual,
+
+01:46.000 --> 01:49.733
+I would use the hashtag #OrgTip on on Twitter.
+
+01:49.766 --> 01:52.666
+Even if you search right now,
+
+01:52.700 --> 01:53.933
+I believe you'll find some of my tweets.
+
+01:53.966 --> 01:55.866
+But yeah, that's one way
+
+01:55.900 --> 01:57.633
+that you can go about it: simple tweets
+
+01:57.666 --> 02:00.100
+that you find, little things, little nuggets of gold
+
+02:00.133 --> 02:02.500
+as I would say. Of course, there's podcasts,
+
+02:02.533 --> 00:02:03.855
+which I'm pretty sure
+
+00:02:03.856 --> 00:02:06.200
+the Emacs community would love to have,
+
+02:06.200 --> 02:08.500
+so if anybody wants to pick up a podcast
+
+02:08.533 --> 02:12.133
+go right ahead. Twitch live streaming,
+
+02:12.166 --> 02:13.900
+which is... Twitch is a platform
+
+02:13.933 --> 02:15.233
+in which you can do live streaming
+
+02:15.266 --> 02:16.900
+for those who are not familiar.
+
+02:16.933 --> 02:19.500
+And people, I've seen people use the Emacs tag in there
+
+02:19.533 --> 02:21.833
+and, you know, just pop up, say hello,
+
+02:21.866 --> 02:23.133
+ask questions, things like that.
+
+02:23.166 --> 02:24.700
+You can be working on the configuration
+
+02:24.733 --> 02:26.033
+or just reading Emacs source code,
+
+02:26.066 --> 02:28.233
+you know, fun stuff like that.
+
+02:28.266 --> 02:29.700
+Videos, which is what I do,
+
+02:29.733 --> 02:31.833
+which I will touch on in a second.
+
+02:31.866 --> 02:33.800
+There's probably more formats
+
+02:33.800 --> 02:35.000
+that I'm not thinking at the moment
+
+02:35.000 --> 02:36.866
+and that you guys can probably fill in the gaps.
+
+02:36.900 --> 02:38.633
+But yeah, these are just some of the ways
+
+02:38.666 --> 02:41.533
+that we can share Emacs. So how do we get started?
+
+NOTE My background
+
+02:41.566 --> 02:42.700
+Well, before we get started,
+
+02:42.733 --> 02:44.633
+I want to talk about my credentials, right?
+
+02:44.666 --> 02:45.700
+I mean, who is this guy
+
+02:45.733 --> 02:47.633
+that you're just listening in this little square
+
+02:47.666 --> 02:49.800
+talking about creating videos?
+
+02:49.800 --> 02:52.633
+Well, I run a channel called goparism on YouTube.
+
+02:52.666 --> 02:55.333
+It has around 2700 subscribers at the moment.
+
+02:55.366 --> 02:57.500
+I kind of know a little bit of the flow.
+
+02:57.533 --> 03:00.333
+I'm not an expert, but I've done enough videos
+
+03:00.366 --> 03:03.300
+that I kind of understand the flow of all of
+
+03:03.333 --> 03:06.733
+at least the simple way of doing it, which I want to share.
+
+NOTE Why you should make Emacs videos (or other formats)
+
+03:06.766 --> 03:08.733
+So right now you're probably thinking,
+
+03:08.766 --> 03:11.000
+OK, I get that you want to sell us
+
+03:11.000 --> 03:12.900
+on the whole video making formats
+
+03:12.933 --> 03:15.433
+or you know sharing just Emacs in general,
+
+03:15.466 --> 03:19.533
+but I'm a beginner, I'm an intermediate, I'm advanced,
+
+03:19.566 --> 03:21.633
+I don't know if I can provide input.
+
+03:21.666 --> 03:23.700
+Each of those, I want to tackle each of those,
+
+03:23.733 --> 03:26.200
+and say that yeah, each of you have input.
+
+03:26.200 --> 03:28.000
+You know, for a beginner it might be say,
+
+03:28.000 --> 03:29.500
+oh, an intermediate and an advanced person
+
+03:29.533 --> 03:30.933
+already has information.
+
+03:30.966 --> 03:32.933
+Intermediate might say, oh, I'm not at that level yet.
+
+03:32.966 --> 03:35.700
+An advanced person might say, oh, I have nothing to say.
+
+03:35.733 --> 03:38.100
+You know, I don't... What I know,
+
+03:38.133 --> 03:39.033
+everybody else knows.
+
+03:39.066 --> 03:43.200
+So I want to, you know, dispel all that and just tell you that,
+
+03:43.200 --> 03:44.066
+hey, it doesn't matter.
+
+NOTE Beginners
+
+03:44.100 --> 03:48.300
+So for beginners, you guys are in a beautiful place,
+
+03:48.333 --> 03:51.333
+which is that you have a clean slate.
+
+03:51.366 --> 03:55.233
+So the way I imagine is that every Emacs user
+
+03:55.266 --> 03:58.300
+is presented[??] upon themselves,
+
+03:58.333 --> 04:00.133
+you know, kind of like this world.
+
+04:00.166 --> 04:02.066
+And in this world, you can either build a road
+
+04:02.100 --> 04:06.266
+that goes to the mountains, the city, or to the beach.
+
+04:06.300 --> 04:08.666
+Some of us have decided which way we want to go.
+
+04:08.700 --> 04:09.733
+Some of us might be building
+
+04:09.766 --> 04:13.333
+the road to the city, to the beach, for example.
+
+04:13.366 --> 04:16.400
+If someone starts a road to the city,
+
+04:16.400 --> 04:19.533
+they are probably stuck in their ways, right?
+
+04:19.566 --> 04:21.933
+And then what leads them to the goal to the city,
+
+04:21.966 --> 04:24.400
+they're not going to make a detour towards the mountain
+
+04:24.400 --> 04:26.300
+or towards the beach to get to the city.
+
+04:26.333 --> 04:27.833
+They just want the straightest path.
+
+04:27.866 --> 04:32.200
+And when you are used to doing things a certain way,
+
+04:32.200 --> 04:33.533
+you're going to have a ton of vision.
+
+04:33.566 --> 04:35.433
+So as a beginner, you don't have any of that
+
+04:35.466 --> 04:36.933
+because you're just starting brand new.
+
+04:36.966 --> 04:40.700
+Everything is, you know, a world of possibilities.
+
+04:40.733 --> 04:43.066
+So I would say that this is a very big advantage.
+
+04:43.100 --> 04:46.400
+The second one is that people enjoy the journey, right?
+
+04:46.400 --> 04:49.033
+People want to see someone grow from this spot
+
+04:49.066 --> 04:51.300
+to the next level, etc, etc.
+
+04:51.333 --> 04:53.466
+This is one of the reasons why we watch movies,
+
+04:53.500 --> 04:54.866
+TV shows, anime, right?
+
+04:54.900 --> 04:57.400
+Because there's a character that needs a problem
+
+04:57.400 --> 04:59.900
+and they're working their way up to solve that problem.
+
+04:59.933 --> 05:01.633
+If we just get to see the ending
+
+05:01.666 --> 05:03.000
+of where they solve the problem,
+
+05:03.000 --> 05:04.300
+we don't really feel anything
+
+05:04.333 --> 05:05.733
+because we weren't part of that journey.
+
+05:05.766 --> 05:08.866
+I would say that starting from scratch
+
+05:08.900 --> 05:10.800
+is a pretty good place to be.
+
+05:10.800 --> 05:12.700
+Of course, if you're going
+
+05:12.733 --> 05:14.300
+to be writing or making videos
+
+05:14.333 --> 05:16.500
+or anything related to Emacs, you kind of have to force...
+
+05:16.533 --> 05:19.500
+If you want to teach people, you kind of have to learn it.
+
+05:19.533 --> 05:20.800
+You're kind of forced to learn,
+
+05:20.800 --> 05:22.933
+which is always encouraged.
+
+NOTE Intermediate
+
+05:22.966 --> 05:25.900
+For intermediates now, you might be saying,
+
+05:25.933 --> 05:28.400
+hey, I'm a little past intermediate.
+
+05:28.400 --> 05:30.033
+I'm sorry, past beginner,
+
+05:30.066 --> 05:32.133
+but I don't feel confident enough to share.
+
+05:32.166 --> 05:34.666
+Well, let's say that you're wrong. Once you're intermediate,
+
+05:34.700 --> 05:37.300
+you're probably fiddling with your Emacs config,
+
+05:37.333 --> 05:39.266
+maybe doing something with Org Mode,
+
+05:39.300 --> 05:40.500
+like a lot of people are doing it,
+
+05:40.533 --> 05:43.500
+and you can document, talk about the things that you do,
+
+05:43.533 --> 05:46.466
+and also those functions that you write in Elisp
+
+05:46.500 --> 05:49.000
+to just improve quality of life, things like that.
+
+05:49.000 --> 05:51.100
+There's a whole list of things that you can do.
+
+05:51.133 --> 05:54.233
+These are just two things out of a plethora.
+
+05:54.266 --> 05:56.100
+of items that you can talk about.
+
+NOTE Advanced
+
+05:56.133 --> 05:59.833
+For my advanced folks, you guys are in a position
+
+05:59.866 --> 06:02.900
+where you guys know more about the Emacs internals.
+
+06:02.933 --> 06:05.100
+You might have read the source code.
+
+06:05.133 --> 06:08.133
+You might know a Emacs manual section pretty well
+
+06:08.166 --> 06:09.833
+that you can talk about.
+
+06:09.866 --> 06:11.866
+Usually when you're at the advanced
+
+06:11.900 --> 06:12.600
+or intermediate level,
+
+06:12.600 --> 06:15.466
+you start, or at least some people start writing packages.
+
+06:15.500 --> 06:17.400
+You can talk about the best practices
+
+06:17.400 --> 06:20.133
+for creating packages, the troubles that you face, you know,
+
+06:20.166 --> 06:22.833
+the things that you learn, things like that.
+
+NOTE Impostor syndrome
+
+06:22.866 --> 06:25.133
+Now that I've given a little bit of examples
+
+06:25.166 --> 06:27.400
+for each of these tiers, there's probably still
+
+06:27.400 --> 06:30.400
+something going on in each of you guys' mind,
+
+06:30.400 --> 06:32.400
+which is something all of us get to face,
+
+06:32.400 --> 06:37.033
+and that is impostor syndrome. Now, with impostor syndrome,
+
+06:37.066 --> 06:40.100
+the sad reality is that we all have it at some point,
+
+06:40.133 --> 06:41.000
+we're going to, you know,
+
+06:41.000 --> 06:43.266
+at the beginner, intermediate, or even advanced stage,
+
+06:43.300 --> 06:43.833
+it doesn't matter,
+
+06:43.866 --> 06:46.800
+there's always that little voice of imposter syndrome saying,
+
+06:46.800 --> 06:49.333
+hey, "You're probably not good enough" or not...
+
+06:49.366 --> 06:50.933
+but questioning if you're good enough
+
+06:50.966 --> 06:53.800
+or if you deserve to be at this level and things like that.
+
+06:53.800 --> 06:56.266
+I believe it's very common with software engineers.
+
+06:56.300 --> 06:59.233
+The other sad thing is that it will never go away
+
+06:59.266 --> 07:02.200
+But the way I see it with impostor syndrome
+
+07:02.200 --> 07:03.433
+is that we embrace it.
+
+07:03.466 --> 07:04.833
+If we are getting an impostor syndrome,
+
+07:04.866 --> 07:07.500
+it's because we're pushing ourself to a next level
+
+07:07.533 --> 07:12.000
+that we haven't been able to to overcome or to progress in.
+
+07:12.000 --> 07:14.733
+If you're pushing yourself, you will get impostor syndrome.
+
+07:14.766 --> 07:16.900
+Like, hey, am I good enough to lead this project?
+
+07:16.933 --> 07:19.500
+To finish this? To optimize this part
+
+07:19.533 --> 07:21.900
+or whatever? I feel it's a good way.
+
+07:21.933 --> 07:24.466
+Impostor syndrome, yeah, it feels horrible,
+
+07:24.500 --> 07:26.033
+but I believe that if you have it,
+
+07:26.066 --> 07:28.433
+it's because you're doing something right.
+
+NOTE Process for recording
+
+07:28.466 --> 07:29.533
+Okay, now that we've gotten
+
+07:29.566 --> 07:32.833
+that out of the way, what's the process for recording?
+
+07:32.866 --> 07:34.800
+Well, it's actually a lot simpler than you think.
+
+07:34.800 --> 07:36.866
+There's three steps, and one of them
+
+07:36.900 --> 07:37.866
+you might not even have to do,
+
+07:37.900 --> 07:39.866
+depending on how you want to go about it.
+
+07:39.900 --> 07:40.733
+The first one is that you have
+
+07:40.766 --> 07:42.933
+to record your voice and screen,
+
+07:42.966 --> 07:45.200
+because if you do want to make video,
+
+07:45.200 --> 07:46.300
+people have to see what you're doing
+
+07:46.333 --> 07:48.100
+and they have to hear what you're talking,
+
+07:48.133 --> 07:50.900
+otherwise it's going to be not as engaging.
+
+07:50.933 --> 07:52.800
+Of course, you can make the face optional
+
+07:52.800 --> 07:54.066
+when recording videos.
+
+07:54.100 --> 07:56.033
+If you watch some of my videos, sometimes
+
+07:56.066 --> 07:57.600
+I show my face, sometimes I don't.
+
+07:57.600 --> 08:02.300
+It just really depends on the mood of what I'm doing
+
+08:02.333 --> 08:05.433
+when I'm recording the video. But yeah, completely up to you.
+
+08:05.466 --> 08:08.333
+After recording, you can edit if desired.
+
+08:08.366 --> 08:10.600
+I remember when I first started making the videos,
+
+08:10.600 --> 08:13.100
+I was not editing them at all.
+
+08:13.133 --> 08:15.433
+I was just one shot and upload.
+
+08:15.466 --> 08:16.866
+That can either be good or bad
+
+08:16.900 --> 08:19.233
+depending on how you view it,
+
+08:19.266 --> 08:22.500
+but it is what it is. Nowadays I do some light editing,
+
+08:22.533 --> 08:26.066
+mainly just to remove the silences
+
+08:26.100 --> 08:29.633
+or when I'm going through debugging something.
+
+08:29.666 --> 08:32.900
+Third one is to upload it,
+
+08:32.933 --> 08:34.100
+which might be the easiest section,
+
+08:34.133 --> 08:35.666
+depending on your goals.
+
+08:35.700 --> 08:38.100
+At minimum, you would put title, description,
+
+08:38.133 --> 08:39.133
+and a little bit more.
+
+08:39.166 --> 08:42.466
+You'll get why I see it can be as easy
+
+08:42.500 --> 08:44.233
+or as complicated as you want,
+
+08:44.266 --> 08:46.400
+which I'll go over later at the end.
+
+NOTE Details: recording
+
+08:46.400 --> 08:50.100
+Let's go over details for recording.
+
+08:50.133 --> 08:53.833
+For recording, thankfully, all OSes,
+
+08:53.866 --> 08:56.466
+or at least the major OSes, have free recording software,
+
+08:56.500 --> 08:59.066
+or you can go a little fancy and get paid [software],
+
+08:59.100 --> 09:01.400
+which usually, you know, depending on your viewpoint,
+
+09:01.400 --> 09:03.266
+might make things easier or not.
+
+09:03.300 --> 09:05.400
+Personally, I use, I'm on Mac,
+
+09:05.400 --> 09:07.000
+so I use the built-in screen recording,
+
+09:07.000 --> 09:08.800
+which, if you do Command-Shift-5,
+
+09:08.800 --> 09:13.066
+it will pop up a little dialog, and if you did it just now,
+
+09:13.100 --> 09:14.400
+you can press the Escape key
+
+09:14.400 --> 09:16.933
+to get rid of it, and life goes on.
+
+09:16.966 --> 09:20.600
+Also for all major 3 OSes, OBS
+
+09:20.600 --> 09:22.600
+is a pretty popular choice not just for streaming,
+
+09:22.600 --> 09:23.866
+but for recording as well.
+
+09:23.900 --> 09:25.633
+That's something you might want to look at.
+
+09:25.666 --> 09:29.700
+If you do decide to record videos.
+
+09:29.733 --> 09:32.066
+All up to you. These are just things
+
+09:32.100 --> 09:35.300
+that I've come along or encountered along the way.
+
+09:35.333 --> 09:36.666
+When it comes to recording,
+
+NOTE Tips: Recording
+
+09:36.700 --> 09:38.933
+I do have some tips that might help you out.
+
+09:38.966 --> 09:40.833
+At least, if I could go back in time,
+
+09:40.866 --> 09:43.333
+this is what I would tell myself: that
+
+09:43.366 --> 09:44.700
+audio quality matter matters.
+
+09:44.733 --> 09:46.700
+If possible, get an external mic.
+
+09:46.733 --> 09:48.300
+That is not always feasible,
+
+09:48.333 --> 09:50.033
+because extra mic costs money,
+
+09:50.066 --> 09:51.066
+and when you're starting out with YouTube,
+
+09:51.100 --> 09:54.000
+you are not going to make a penny.
+
+09:54.000 --> 09:57.533
+YouTube has very high restrictions
+
+09:57.566 --> 10:01.033
+or bars that you need to pass
+
+10:01.066 --> 10:03.866
+before you start getting any revenue. For example,
+
+10:03.900 --> 10:06.633
+my channel, I still haven't met those bars,
+
+10:06.666 --> 10:08.433
+so i'm still not generating any revenue.
+
+10:08.466 --> 10:11.100
+Anything that I buy is just out of pocket.
+
+10:11.133 --> 10:13.700
+Since I work from home, I already had a mic
+
+10:13.733 --> 10:15.533
+and things like that set up.
+
+10:15.566 --> 10:17.333
+I just use that for recording videos.
+
+10:17.366 --> 10:20.266
+But if you have... You can use
+
+10:20.300 --> 10:23.333
+the built-in mic in your laptop if you have one.
+
+10:23.366 --> 10:25.233
+I would strongly suggest if you do that,
+
+10:25.266 --> 10:28.233
+try to minimize the noise. Go into a quiet room
+
+10:28.266 --> 10:30.700
+and make sure there's no washing machine
+
+10:30.733 --> 10:32.700
+or anything going off right now,
+
+10:32.733 --> 10:35.266
+because people do not... They can handle,
+
+10:35.300 --> 10:36.866
+you know, not the greatest quality of video.
+
+10:36.900 --> 10:38.400
+But when it comes to audio, picky
+
+10:38.400 --> 10:40.733
+people are a lot more pickier when it comes to that.
+
+10:40.766 --> 10:43.100
+Next is don't start with recording the face.
+
+10:43.133 --> 10:44.700
+Voice and screen are just fine.
+
+10:44.733 --> 10:49.000
+Personally, I feel when I started recording my face,
+
+10:49.000 --> 10:51.133
+it made it harder in a sense,
+
+10:51.166 --> 10:53.666
+because now I was just not only concentrating
+
+10:53.700 --> 10:55.433
+on what I was showing, how it was sounding,
+
+10:55.466 --> 10:58.000
+but how I look, if I was making any faces like that.
+
+10:58.000 --> 11:01.233
+It's just one less thing to have on your brain
+
+11:01.266 --> 11:02.133
+when you're recording.
+
+11:02.166 --> 11:05.133
+Another thing is that when I started recording,
+
+11:05.166 --> 11:08.266
+I was very passionate or excited about doing this.
+
+11:08.300 --> 11:10.866
+What I would do is--I took that to the advantage--
+
+11:10.900 --> 11:13.700
+is that I just recorded a lot of videos
+
+11:13.733 --> 11:16.333
+in one go or in sessions.
+
+11:16.366 --> 11:18.300
+As soon as I recorded, start the next one,
+
+11:18.333 --> 11:20.866
+next one, et cetera. I strongly believe that helped
+
+11:20.900 --> 11:22.100
+because later down the road,
+
+11:22.133 --> 11:24.833
+once I got busy with work or life or whatever,
+
+11:24.866 --> 11:26.866
+I didn't really have to worry about making time.
+
+11:26.900 --> 11:28.433
+I already had a batch ready to go
+
+11:28.466 --> 11:31.500
+that I can just slowly pull out and edit and upload.
+
+11:31.533 --> 11:35.033
+That's something helpful whenever you know work is slow
+
+11:35.066 --> 11:37.333
+or your vacations or things like that, you want to record,
+
+11:37.366 --> 11:39.266
+just go for it.
+
+11:39.300 --> 11:43.066
+Another one is when you are editing, you can use pauses
+
+11:43.100 --> 11:45.666
+so that it's easier to edit
+
+11:45.700 --> 00:11:48.159
+because what happens to... At least this
+
+00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:48.880
+is what happened to me
+
+00:11:48.881 --> 11:49.700
+when I was beginning,
+
+11:49.733 --> 11:53.000
+I would say, oh I can mumble fumble,
+
+11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.500
+you know, do a lot of verbal fillers,
+
+00:11:54.501 --> 00:11:55.833
+and I can just edit it,
+
+11:55.866 --> 11:57.233
+but if you don't do any pauses
+
+11:57.266 --> 00:12:01.560
+it's hard to fix the mistakes,
+
+00:12:01.561 --> 12:03.400
+the things that you don't want people seeing
+
+12:03.400 --> 00:12:05.839
+because then it doesn't blend well
+
+00:12:05.840 --> 12:08.300
+if you do editing. If you do any editing,
+
+12:08.333 --> 12:09.500
+you know what I'm talking about,
+
+12:09.533 --> 12:12.033
+because then there's chops of audio
+
+12:12.066 --> 00:12:13.840
+from the previous clip.
+
+00:12:13.841 --> 12:17.266
+Trying to edit... There's ways to mitigate that,
+
+12:17.300 --> 12:19.500
+but my editing skills are very minimal.
+
+12:19.533 --> 12:21.833
+It's just what I need to know to get things done.
+
+12:21.866 --> 12:25.066
+Just using pauses helps out a lot.
+
+12:25.100 --> 12:26.066
+Another thing is that
+
+12:26.100 --> 12:30.133
+some people want to record in like super-high quality,
+
+12:30.166 --> 12:32.633
+you know, get the highest quality possible for the video.
+
+12:32.666 --> 12:34.900
+I would say instead of focusing on the video recording,
+
+12:34.933 --> 12:36.900
+focus on the audio, like I mentioned,
+
+12:36.933 --> 00:12:37.819
+because at the end of the day,
+
+00:12:37.820 --> 12:41.033
+we're in Emacs and we're only sharing text.
+
+12:41.066 --> 12:43.833
+You know, there's only so much definition
+
+12:43.866 --> 12:44.700
+that you can show on text.
+
+12:44.733 --> 12:48.400
+If anything, just increase the font. Simple as that.
+
+12:48.400 --> 12:50.666
+My personal favorite,
+
+12:50.700 --> 12:53.233
+or at least the one that I still encounter even now,
+
+12:53.266 --> 12:56.733
+is that when I'm recording, my voice still feels dry.
+
+12:56.766 --> 12:59.533
+Right when I'm about to record,
+
+12:59.566 --> 13:01.800
+all of a sudden, I get dry. I need to drink water.
+
+13:01.800 --> 13:03.900
+It feels uncomfortable. I get nervous
+
+13:03.933 --> 13:06.000
+because it's something new. I'm staring at myself.
+
+13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.599
+It's like, oh man, all the... I mentioned just extra things
+
+00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:10.119
+that I need to worry about.
+
+00:13:10.120 --> 13:13.466
+But all of this goes less with practice.
+
+13:13.500 --> 13:15.300
+The more you do it, the more comfortable you are.
+
+13:15.333 --> 13:17.066
+It's just like everything else.
+
+13:17.100 --> 13:18.400
+When you start learning guitar,
+
+13:18.400 --> 13:21.600
+your fingers are very hard. When you start learning piano,
+
+13:21.600 --> 13:24.866
+the independence of fingers don't want to work.
+
+13:24.900 --> 13:25.866
+When you're learning drums,
+
+13:25.900 --> 13:27.466
+each limb needs to be independent.
+
+13:27.500 --> 13:29.266
+It's very hard. You have to start very slow.
+
+13:29.300 --> 13:31.033
+Everything in life, you know, practice
+
+13:31.066 --> 00:13:33.439
+and it will get better. All right now .
+
+NOTE Details: Editing
+
+00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.852
+Editing, well, like I mentioned,
+
+00:13:34.853 --> 00:13:36.939
+this is not always going to be necessary,
+
+00:13:36.940 --> 00:13:37.894
+depending on your style.
+
+00:13:37.895 --> 00:13:41.100
+There's some Youtube Emacs creators
+
+13:41.133 --> 00:13:43.959
+that simply record everything in one go.
+
+00:13:43.960 --> 13:46.533
+They might get up, get a coffee or something,
+
+13:46.566 --> 13:48.100
+and they'll just leave that in the clip,
+
+13:48.133 --> 13:49.400
+which is totally fine.
+
+13:49.400 --> 13:51.933
+No shame. It's the way they they want to do the video.
+
+13:51.966 --> 13:54.666
+Sometimes they just don't have any time
+
+13:54.700 --> 00:13:56.925
+to edit the videos themselves
+
+00:13:56.926 --> 00:13:57.900
+or pay someone else to do it.
+
+13:57.933 --> 00:14:00.466
+What's the best next thing? just leave it as is,
+
+00:14:00.467 --> 00:14:04.300
+upload, and that's fine. That completely works.
+
+14:04.333 --> 14:07.466
+I will say that if you do end up editing
+
+14:07.500 --> 14:09.666
+or deciding to edit, and you want software
+
+14:09.700 --> 14:11.266
+I would say check out DaVinci Resolve.
+
+14:11.300 --> 14:14.666
+It's free. It's available on the three major OSes.
+
+14:14.700 --> 14:19.000
+Honestly, DaVinci Resolve by itself
+
+14:19.000 --> 14:20.833
+has a plethora of features.
+
+14:20.866 --> 14:27.233
+I personally, I only use like 5% max of the features.
+
+14:27.266 --> 14:29.433
+It's professional,
+
+14:29.466 --> 14:33.000
+it's like professional studio all the way, things like that.
+
+14:33.000 --> 14:35.466
+But yeah, I would say DaVinci Resolve
+
+14:35.500 --> 00:14:38.319
+is a pretty solid choice.
+
+NOTE Tips: Editing
+
+00:14:38.320 --> 14:40.933
+Okay, what about the tips for editing?
+
+14:40.966 --> 14:42.833
+Well, most of them are pretty straightforward.
+
+14:42.866 --> 00:14:46.039
+Just learn enough to get going, like in all things.
+
+00:14:46.040 --> 14:48.266
+Like if you have a band practice
+
+14:48.300 --> 14:50.333
+and you're rehearsing a song,
+
+14:50.366 --> 14:52.100
+you just need to know the chords,
+
+14:52.133 --> 14:53.233
+you don't need to know improvise,
+
+14:53.266 --> 14:55.733
+just enough to get you through this gig
+
+14:55.766 --> 14:57.933
+that you're playing. That's pretty much it.
+
+14:57.966 --> 14:59.900
+Of course, learn the keyboard shortcuts.
+
+14:59.933 --> 15:02.266
+We all come from Emacs, so we all know how valuable,
+
+15:02.300 --> 15:05.133
+how much we treasure shortcuts to avoid the mouse.
+
+15:05.166 --> 15:06.833
+unfortunately since you're editing,
+
+15:06.866 --> 15:08.433
+you will still have to use the mouse,
+
+15:08.466 --> 15:10.666
+but the more keyboard shortcuts you use,
+
+15:10.700 --> 15:13.633
+the less the mouse is used. So there's that.
+
+15:13.666 --> 15:17.100
+One thing is that--I didn't know you can actually do this
+
+15:17.133 --> 15:18.900
+until I started editing--
+
+15:18.933 --> 15:22.733
+is that you can play the speed of the video in 2x.
+
+15:22.766 --> 15:24.900
+For me this is great because
+
+15:24.933 --> 15:28.200
+since I'm mainly just listening for pauses in my video,
+
+15:28.200 --> 15:29.900
+I just wait until there's silence.
+
+15:29.933 --> 15:31.233
+Oh, that's the part I need to trim,
+
+15:31.266 --> 15:35.233
+or that's the part I need to remove. Simple as that.
+
+15:35.266 --> 15:37.800
+Also batch edit, the same thing
+
+15:37.800 --> 15:41.500
+as I said about recording videos, just do it in batch.
+
+15:41.533 --> 15:44.000
+You can also just batch edit as well.
+
+NOTE Details: Uploading
+
+15:44.000 --> 15:48.033
+Uploading, the final step. YouTube,
+
+15:48.066 --> 15:49.600
+if you do end up using YouTube
+
+15:49.600 --> 15:52.466
+which is the most popular choice for uploading videos,
+
+15:52.500 --> 00:15:55.119
+is that the uploading process
+
+00:15:55.120 --> 15:56.000
+is pretty straightforward.
+
+15:56.000 --> 15:58.433
+I imagine this is the same for every other platform
+
+15:58.466 --> 16:01.000
+that you choose. It's pretty straightforward,
+
+16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.119
+but it can be a little complicated
+
+00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.819
+depending on what you want to do.
+
+NOTE Tips: Uploading
+
+00:16:06.820 --> 16:09.066
+What are my tips for uploading?
+
+16:09.100 --> 16:10.866
+Well, first of all, at minimum,
+
+16:10.900 --> 16:13.266
+you need to have a descriptive title
+
+16:13.300 --> 16:16.100
+and a description of what you talk about in the video,
+
+16:16.133 --> 16:20.733
+just to help out with SEO and things like that
+
+16:20.766 --> 16:24.433
+when people are searching for Emacs on YouTube.
+
+16:24.466 --> 00:16:25.479
+Also, if possible, use a thumbnail.
+
+00:16:25.480 --> 16:29.466
+There's a whole community about Emacs creators
+
+16:29.500 --> 16:32.100
+discussing best practices to get the highest engagement,
+
+16:32.133 --> 16:34.733
+how to get people watching your videos, things like that,
+
+16:34.766 --> 00:16:35.579
+and one of the things
+
+00:16:35.580 --> 16:39.133
+is they highly recommend a thumbnail.
+
+16:39.166 --> 16:42.666
+If you mainly watch, or if you watch any Emacs content,
+
+16:42.700 --> 16:45.000
+a lot of us do not use thumbnails,
+
+16:45.000 --> 16:46.333
+and that's perfectly fine.
+
+16:46.366 --> 16:48.633
+I think the Emacs community is pretty used
+
+16:48.666 --> 16:51.133
+to just watching videos with just a thumbnail,
+
+16:51.166 --> 16:52.933
+it's just a screenshot of the video,
+
+16:52.966 --> 00:16:55.019
+and we just go there for the content, right?
+
+00:16:55.020 --> 16:57.900
+We're not really going there for anything else,
+
+16:57.933 --> 00:17:01.899
+for the knowledge that the person is spreading.
+
+00:17:01.900 --> 17:04.433
+I say that it can be as simple or as complex,
+
+17:04.466 --> 00:17:07.219
+because if your goal is to potentially
+
+00:17:07.220 --> 17:08.633
+earn revenue down the line,
+
+17:08.666 --> 17:11.933
+you will want to spend some time configuring
+
+17:11.966 --> 00:17:17.459
+some of the settings for uploading, like the tags,
+
+00:17:17.460 --> 17:18.733
+I forget what they're called, but they're
+
+17:18.766 --> 00:17:20.875
+a little embedded so that people can watch
+
+00:17:20.876 --> 00:17:22.233
+other videos and things like that.
+
+17:22.266 --> 17:25.500
+So there's a plethora of options, an abundance of options.
+
+17:25.533 --> 17:27.300
+Honestly, there's too many,
+
+17:27.333 --> 17:31.300
+but it all depends if you potentially want
+
+17:31.333 --> 17:33.066
+to make some type of income in the future
+
+17:33.100 --> 17:35.033
+with Emacs, making videos on Emacs.
+
+17:35.066 --> 17:37.700
+And yeah, that's just something
+
+17:37.733 --> 17:39.666
+that you will have to discover
+
+17:39.700 --> 17:42.633
+and read and learn more about what the Emacs community,
+
+17:42.666 --> 00:17:45.133
+Emacs creator community suggest,
+
+00:17:45.134 --> 00:17:47.200
+and best practices and things like that.
+
+17:47.200 --> 17:48.933
+But if anybody ever wants to talk about it,
+
+17:48.966 --> 17:50.266
+feel free to reach out to me.
+
+17:50.300 --> 00:17:54.579
+I would love to talk about things
+
+00:17:54.580 --> 00:17:55.740
+about YouTube and all this,
+
+00:17:55.741 --> 00:17:58.440
+because I find it interesting. Potentially, hopefully,
+
+00:17:58.441 --> 00:18:01.259
+one day, I'll be able to make some revenue.
+
+00:18:01.260 --> 18:03.066
+Hopefully, maybe some of you guys
+
+18:03.100 --> 18:04.266
+might knock it out of the park
+
+18:04.300 --> 18:06.133
+with what I'm going to talk about next.
+
+NOTE Your secret sauce
+
+18:06.166 --> 18:10.866
+That is your secret sauce. This is your ultimate weapon
+
+18:10.900 --> 18:13.466
+as to get viewers, to get subscribers, you know,
+
+18:13.500 --> 18:14.733
+to get anybody that wants
+
+18:14.766 --> 18:17.266
+to watch your... to reach a higher audience.
+
+18:17.300 --> 18:20.200
+That can be your humor. You might be naturally funny.
+
+18:20.200 --> 18:21.500
+You can make comments.
+
+18:21.533 --> 18:24.700
+You have a natural skill on the way you talk,
+
+18:24.733 --> 18:26.300
+on the way you articulate things,
+
+18:26.333 --> 18:29.300
+so you might be able to get people drawn to that,
+
+18:29.333 --> 18:32.733
+or you might be someone who just does animations
+
+18:32.766 --> 18:35.700
+for your videos, which does highly well as well.
+
+18:35.733 --> 18:38.633
+or you can do a mix of all these.
+
+18:38.666 --> 18:40.500
+You can just insert your superpower
+
+18:40.533 --> 18:42.700
+whatever you want. You can go ahead
+
+18:42.733 --> 18:45.266
+and use that to your advantage
+
+18:45.300 --> 18:47.100
+to grow user base, a viewer base.
+
+18:47.133 --> 18:50.000
+Hopefully, if all things align,
+
+18:50.000 --> 18:52.600
+you'll be able to get paid
+
+18:52.600 --> 18:56.200
+to also create Emacs videos soon, spread the knowledge,
+
+18:56.200 --> 18:58.800
+which would be pretty cool--become an Emacs influencer,
+
+18:58.800 --> 19:00.200
+which is the goal, right? Okay.
+
+19:00.200 --> 19:03.800
+I believe I painted this in a pretty good light,
+
+19:03.800 --> 19:04.900
+at least personal opinion.
+
+NOTE Cons of YouTube
+
+19:04.933 --> 19:07.900
+But like everything, every good also has a bad.
+
+19:07.933 --> 19:09.666
+Nothing is always perfect.
+
+19:09.700 --> 19:11.633
+That's also the same for Youtube.
+
+19:11.666 --> 19:14.466
+What are the bads of Youtube?
+
+19:14.500 --> 19:18.266
+Well, it's not going to be an overnight success.
+
+19:18.300 --> 19:21.533
+That is very very rare. You're not going to create a video
+
+19:21.566 --> 19:24.900
+and then all of a sudden get like a hundred thousand views.
+
+19:24.933 --> 19:27.200
+I believe by from what I've seen in the community
+
+19:27.200 --> 19:29.033
+if a video gets over 10k
+
+19:29.066 --> 19:33.100
+that it means that it did really well in the Emacs community.
+
+19:33.133 --> 19:38.300
+I think on average is under 3k for a video within...
+
+19:38.333 --> 19:40.466
+This is within the time span of
+
+19:40.500 --> 19:43.333
+I'd say like two weeks or so or a month, around there.
+
+19:43.366 --> 19:46.066
+So it varies. All these metrics you'll learn
+
+19:46.100 --> 19:48.466
+if you really actually want to be able
+
+19:48.500 --> 19:50.066
+to create something in the Emacs...
+
+19:50.100 --> 19:53.266
+But like I said, it does take work and it does take time.
+
+19:53.300 --> 19:56.733
+Another thing is that negative feedback people are very quick
+
+19:56.766 --> 20:00.533
+as we all have been accustomed to that.
+
+20:00.566 --> 20:04.300
+People are do not shy from being very negative.
+
+20:04.333 --> 20:07.833
+It is so easy to just say negative and mean things online
+
+20:07.866 --> 20:09.900
+because there's no repercussions.
+
+20:09.933 --> 20:12.666
+I don't understand why people do that, but it is what it is.
+
+20:12.700 --> 20:17.500
+But most of these comments are from the younger population.
+
+20:17.533 --> 20:20.700
+You know, just ignore them.
+
+20:20.733 --> 20:22.866
+Most of the time, they're just ignorant.
+
+20:22.900 --> 20:24.066
+They don't know what they're saying.
+
+20:24.100 --> 20:27.800
+It will help you get them, you know, grow some thick skin.
+
+20:27.800 --> 20:30.133
+If you already have thick skin, then you don't.
+
+20:30.166 --> 20:31.833
+This is not going to be a problem.
+
+20:31.866 --> 20:35.233
+But most of the negative comments that I've receive our
+
+20:35.266 --> 20:38.066
+or childish, I would say,
+
+20:38.100 --> 20:42.700
+that it's not really based on anything that has substance.
+
+20:42.733 --> 20:44.400
+Yeah, just ignore it. It's fine.
+
+20:44.400 --> 20:46.066
+It's not going to affect your day.
+
+20:46.100 --> 20:47.100
+"Don't let it affect your day"
+
+20:47.133 --> 20:48.866
+is the most important thing.
+
+20:48.900 --> 20:51.466
+Third, like I was mentioning, revenue is very hard
+
+20:51.500 --> 20:54.700
+to get monetized on by YouTube standards.
+
+20:54.733 --> 20:58.600
+That will definitely take some time and dedication.
+
+20:58.600 --> 21:01.300
+But if you really want it, you will work for it.
+
+21:01.333 --> 21:03.266
+Hopefully all of us,
+
+21:03.300 --> 21:05.866
+the people that are constantly creating content
+
+21:05.900 --> 21:09.233
+via these platforms are able to get compensated
+
+21:09.266 --> 21:10.400
+in some way or another,
+
+21:10.400 --> 21:13.000
+because we do share it because we love it,
+
+21:13.000 --> 21:15.833
+but also it would be nice to get some compensation.
+
+21:15.866 --> 21:17.933
+I'm not speaking for everybody. I'm speaking personally
+
+21:17.966 --> 21:22.133
+because time is a valuable asset.
+
+21:22.166 --> 21:23.866
+You can choose what you want to spend it
+
+21:23.900 --> 21:25.866
+and right now I'm having fun making videos.
+
+21:25.900 --> 21:29.733
+That's what I'm deciding to spend it.
+
+21:29.766 --> 21:31.866
+But yeah now, with all this that I've said,
+
+21:31.900 --> 21:36.033
+there's only one question that I want to ask all of you,
+
+21:36.066 --> 21:40.266
+and that is: what are you going to share?
