"text": "There are a few ways to get started on YouTube. We offer up different formats and functionalities, giving you the flexibility to create everything from Shorts, which are vertical videos that run 60 seconds or less, to longer form videos. No matter what you’re creating, you’ll need to start by creating a YouTube Channel. First you need to sign into YouTube using a Google Account. Once you’re signed in, click Create Account, and choose whether it’s for you or for your business. You can then create a YouTube channel on your account, upload videos, leave comments, and create Shorts and playlists. Next, you’ll want to upload your videos! Uploading is easy. You just sign into your YouTube account and then click on the Create icon. If you’re planning to upload a longer form video, select Upload video and then choose your desired video file—you can upload 15 files at a time! If you’d like to upload a YouTube Short, you’ll need to be signed into YouTube mobile, where you’ll tap Create and then Create a Short. From here you can either upload a video from your camera roll or create using our suite of lightweight tools."

"text": "Our search and discovery systems are built to find videos that match viewers’ individual interests. We recommend videos based on things such as: what your audience watches and doesn’t watch, how much time they spend watching, what they like and dislike, if they mark a video as ‘not interested’, and on satisfaction surveys. So, rather than trying to find a secret code to these systems, focus instead on making videos that you think will resonate with your audience. A great tool here is YouTube Analytics, which provides data that can help you understand how your existing content is performing and provide insights for future videos!"

"name": "How do I edit videos for YouTube?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The best time to start thinking about editing is during the writing phase. By planning your edits early on, you can anticipate how your video will look and how you want your viewers to react. Consider your camera positions, angles, and movements. Think about how your video will open and close, and what are the key moments in between. For larger projects, you can make a simple “shot list”—writing down all the shots you’ll need so you don’t forget anything. You can optimize your videos in YouTube Studio by adding end screens and trimming sections of your video before or after publishing. You can also add music and sound effects to your video with the Audio library in YouTube Studio. Learn more."
