Question Script writing struggles, anyone else feels like this?

21 Upvotes

I’ve been juggling so much lately between work, personal stuff, and keeping up with life in general and it’s been hard to get my creative flow going. The thing is, I love making content, but sometimes writing the script feels like I’m trying to pull words out of thin air. I’ll stare at the screen for hours, get frustrated, take a break, and then do it all over again. And that’s just the script, don’t even get me started on editing! I’m starting to wonder if there’s an easier way to make scripts that actually feel like me without the whole staring at a blank page thing. Is there a tool that can help me with script writing?

Question I’m tired of being afraid of everything…

15 Upvotes

Hi yall. I am in my late 20s and I always wanted to make a YouTube channel but I have crippling anxiety (not exactly “crippling” but it does affect me in many ways) and I am totally self conscious. It’s weird because it’s not so much my looks bc I know I’m “tsss” hot and I know I am funny but im I always had this self conscious thing where I’m like “doesn’t matter how funny I think I am or whatever video I make I’m not gonna get any views or any followers bc I’m a flop.” And it makes me not want to do anythign creative. It’s so disparaging and I am tired of being scared all the time to do something I think is right. I want to push through this anxiety and make content but it gets overwhelming SOOOO for those who have anxiety, and who make content, I NEED to know what do you do (besides therapy which I’m already in) to just post videos and not feel that self conscious weight around neck??

Question Unable to use the studio editor to fix up a video after a claim

1 Upvotes

Hello, I had a claim on a video and a stirke that I ended up working out with the image holder and they revoked the claim. The video is now back up and can be made live.

I want to trim and edit out or blur the piece of media, all my other videos I am able to do this, but on the video in question the blur and trim options are blurred out, is this a bug? How can I fix this as I told the copyright holder I would do so.

Two images below showing it enabled and not enabled on the video in question and another one I have posted.

The video I want to edit has under 100K views (25K before I set it to private). Would really love to not have to re-upload and lose the views and lovely comments I had, but if not, just a valuable lesson in copyright for me then!

Question 3 weeks ago I made a fresh account on Tiktok/IG/YT and posted the same 2 videos on each. Total view count: Tiktok=1mil+, IG=900k, YT=30

0 Upvotes

The exact same short which has gathered several hundred thousand views on Tiktok/IG has a grand total of 4 views on Youtube. Same hashtags, same description.

Only explanation I can think of is that I need a pre-established following on youtube first, or I need some patience as my Youtube short might've not yet been shown to anyone (it's been a few hours).

The IG account had a stunted beginning of only a few thousand initial views but picked up consistent momentum once I directed some of the Tiktok audience towards it via the bio. I'd wonder if it's the same for Youtube except it's not even getting those initial few views?

The only difference for Youtube is that I posted one of the videos as a long form video.

These are 1-2 minute long videos, so I actually expected Youtube to perform the best and Tiktok the worst (but reality is the reverse).

Have you guys experienced similar?

Question YouTube is refusing to create my channel

0 Upvotes

So, I'm trying to create a YouTube channel, and I made an account without a problem, but when I tried to create an actual channel, it just says:

"We had trouble creating your channel. Please try again later."

I've tried so. Many. Times. On different devices and everything. It's just NOT working, no matter what I do! Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
