Lessons from creating a YouTube slide-show – which I did for the first time just now:
(Can’t recall exactly what I did, but it was approximately as follows)
To create a video from your own images via YouTube’s on-line timeline editor:
- Ensure you are logged-on to YouTube under intended account
- Upload (not dropdown) > Photo slideshow (Create)
- -> Select the photos for your slideshow: Upload photos
- Use [Advanced editor]
- (Now you should see a video editing timeline)
- Alter the image order, transitions, durations to suit
- For a background-free lower-third text overlay:
- Banner, set [Position]=[Bottom], [Text size]=[Small], [Opacity]=[0].
- Select the Thumbnail.
- Add text intro/comment.
- etc.
- SAVE
To specify the video as a response to one or more other videos:
- Ensure you are logged-on to YouTube under intended account
- Go to the target-video
- Post (initially as if you were making a text comment)
- Specify it as being a video-response
- Select which of your videos you want to be the response.
- SAVE
