Are you interested in making your own videos to upload to YouTube? While a large number of YouTube members do so, you may want to seriously examine your decision before actually making it. As nice as sharing your videos with the rest of the community can be, there are some disadvantages associated with it. A few of the most popular ones are briefly discussed below.
Perhaps one of the biggest disadvantages to making your own YouTube video, is that you don't actually know who'll end up watching it. Many YouTube video submitters don't realize that anyone can watch their videos. YouTube gives internet users, even those who don't bother to register for a free account, the ability to watch videos on their website. Yes, the good news is that your video may be viewed by thousands of people, but do you really want that many people to see it? That's a question you definitely want to ask yourself before uploading your first video.
One of the reasons why it's advised that you determine ahead of time, whether or not you really want to share your video with the rest of the world, is because after you've done it, it might be too late. YouTube allows video submitters to pull their videos off the site, should they change their minds about having a particular video posted.
While this is good and the removal happens right away, it may already be too late. A large number of internet users are able to copy and/or save videos that they find online, yes including YouTube videos. Should your video fall into the wrong hands, it may never really disappear, you may find it posted on another website.
Another disadvantage to making your own YouTube video, is that strangers essentially get to know you. The amount of information they find out about you, depends on the kind of video you submit. For instance, a stranger watching your video may be able to learn more about you if you've posted a vlog, rather than a comedy skit that you made with your friends.
That's why you should not only think about if you want to post your video on YouTube, but you should also consider your safety. Alway keep your safety in mind, such as not divulging too much personal information about yourself, is a great way for you to enjoy YouTube without any dangers.
As you probably know, you need to have a few items to be able to upload your video to the website. If you're planning on making a video just for YouTube, you'll need to have a video recording device. The good news is that there are a number of devices that can be used, including camcorders, cell phones, and webcams.
You should also have movie editing software installed on your computer, as it'll enable you to review (or even edit) your YouTube video before posting it. If you have an older computer, you may need to purchase a movie editing software program, but many new computers come with these types of programs already installed in them.
Although it may seem like there are a large number of disadvantages to making and sharing your video on YouTube, there are actually a number of benefits to doing so as well. One of those benefits is that it's easy to do. Once you have your video installed on your computer and edited, if you wish to do so, the uploading process is very simple. In fact, YouTube explains the uploading process in an easy step-by-step way. Even if you don't have a lot of experience with using computers, you should be able to upload your video to YouTube.
If you still would like to upload your video to YouTube, after carefully thinking about your decision to do so, you'll need to register for a free account. This account will not only enable you to share your videos with the entire community, but it'll also allow you to rate the videos you watch, or even have discussions with other members.
