How To Make Epic Videos For YouTube & How The YouTube Algorithm Destroys Them
I explain how to hide edits and make a video scene seem seamless by taking a look at my Halloween video special from last year which uses hidden edits. Nearly all of my biggest viral videos on YouTube use this style of hidden edits. It's simple to do if you remember your position and framing when filming a scene. It's a neat trick to understand which can be used to fool the audience and make easy movie magic.
But be careful YouTube loves to destroy certain content now via constant changes to the fabric of YouTube. Many once very popular YouTubers now have crashed channels via the constant algorithm changes which seems to pick off certain styles of videos. YouTube say if your video has excellent audience retention and viewer retention then it's worthy in the eyes of ALGO, but I can show you an example where a video is dumped which has one of my best audience retention data stats, the only other video with better data is my video Big Spider Attacks Daddy. You will also see the damage done to many of my biggest videos via the massive YouTube changes which happened without any warning. I'm lucky to have survived two massive downturns to date, sadly there are hundreds of other once popular YouTube channels which have been decimated by the changes. It seems today you need to be very careful what you upload if your looking for success, because there are mysterious forces at play which seem well tuned at destroying videos before they have the chance to be popular.
