How You Can Make A YouTube Video Of Your Own

YouTube is quite the place. You can video on just about anything and could end up getting hooked on hanging out there. I guess that is why Google bought it. What if you want to put a video of your own on YouTube? This article takes a look at how anyone can make a YouTube video and do it fairly easy.

First of all you will need something to record your video with. This could be a camcorder or even a cell phone if it is equipped to record videos. You have to love modern technology. A digital camcorder will give you the best quality.

Once you know how you are going to record you video you can get started. Popular videos on YouTube include funny videos, music, video blogs, how-to videos, or even videos on a trip you have taken. You can make a video on just about anything you want. It is your video. Think of yourself as a director.

You need to keep your videos less than 10 minutes and you can submit as many videos to YouTube as you want.

When creating a YouTube video make sure that the quality is good. Speak directly into the camera or else use raised voices. You do not have to shout, but rather project with your voice so people who will be watching your video can hear and understand what you are saying.

As with any video or picture make sure you have adequate lighting. Shooting during the day will help with this. Once you have your video done you will want to view and then edit it. You can use editing software for movies for this. Your computer with probably have movie editing software if it is a new model. If not you can find it at a media store or on the internet.

You can not spend to much time making sure you edit your video so it is a high quality video. You are putting this online to share with friends and family, but you never know who will end up seeing it.

The last step once you have your video the way you want it is to post it on YouTube. You will need to register for a free account if you do not already have one.

How to Backup Your Computer if You Are Using Vista

With each version of the Windows operating systems the backup process has improved. In prior versions I relied on third party backup solutions. With the Vista operating system I found that the Backup program that comes with Vista is dependable, and there is no need to buy another backup program.

The above statements are true if you are backing up your data to a USB external drive. I have a 250Gb external drive and I backup my computer at least once a month. You can use DVDs, but you would need multiple DVDs.

If you have a home network you can also backup one computer to another. If you only have a wireless network I would not recommend it because it will be a very slow process.

To start the backup process click on the Start menu and select the All Programs button, then select the Accessories folder, then Systems Tools folder and click on Backup Status and Configuration menu option. You have three options here:

· Backup Files

· Restore Files

· Complete PC Backup

Backup Files is when you want to backup your data only. No programs or operating files will be backed up. This would be good if you have the Vista DVD and CDs for all of your application. You would then just have to re-install the operating system and the applications, then restore your data.

You can also set this for automatic and as long as the device that you back up to is connected, it will perform the backup automatically.

Restore Files if you needed to restore the files from step one discussed above. Restore Files will allow you to recover an individual file, or a backup made on another computer, or restore files made from this computer.

The Complete PC Backup will copy the entire contents of your hard drive. I usually backup my computer once a month using the data as the file name. You basically select the Complete PC Backup and click on Create a backup now. Make sure the hard drive you are backing up to is attached. It will take some time to backup your entire system, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Advanced Restore will allow you to transfer the entire contents of your backup to a new hard drive or computer. This is done through the Advanced Restore option after you click on the Restore Files button.

Backing up to another computer running Vista may cause problems with Windows authentication. If it is only the hard drive that is different, you will need to re-authenticate the computer, but it can be done in about ten minutes.

Everyone thinks that they are safe until their computer stops working. Hard drives fail on 35% of the computers within the first year. Why take a chance. Make sure you backup your computer today.

There are also on-line backup locations offered on the Internet. Some are inexpensive. If something happened to the backup device, you are still out of luck. Having an online backup might be the right solution because these companies have a lot of redundancy. Go to the newsletter section of my site where I recommend a vendor for backups.
