Although the text is small - and maybe too much , the thumbnail immediately triggered my interest so I clicked on it. The video is great. I like the dynamics of it. It creates the feeling : I wish I could do that as well , is there a way of learning how to draw like that - even though I am not an artist ?

What helped me to focus was to think of the "person that I want to talk to" - my "avatar". In my case it is my younger self: Me - about 30-40 years ago. What were my questions, my fears, my problems in my working life. What answers do I have now, after a whole life of experience. Things I would have liked to know back then. For you, your "avatar" could be different, but thinking about who that person is and what his/her problems helps to set the tone of your video. Regarding titles , thumbnails , hooks and script - check out Alexa´s white paper on script creation (see attachment) - or if you have not done so : go through the 30 day youtube challenge.

The biggest bang for your Zero Dollars is Davinci resolve. It looks intimidating at first , but I had Gemini guide me through it. Tell Gemini which version on what platform you are using. Go into voice mode and it will tell you how to get an easy view. Then you can tell Gemini what you want to do and it will guide you step by step and which button to press. How to do an effective editing workflow. Capcut has an issue : it has the right to use all your material- republish , remix etc. And you run into payment walls very quickly. With davinci you can start small (with the help of Gemini) and scale quite a while in features until you have to purchase it. But even if you decided tor another application, try Gemini as your personal assistant. I also used it for helping with Blackmagic camera, which is great for filming with your smartphone

I would not use a whiteboard and talk to the board and draw on it. I would use an animated presentation where you are on one side and the presentation on the other. And then the animation develops the picture. Alexa uses that in some of her videos. The other thing I have seen is people doing a screen share and their face is in a small circle on the side. They start with a full picture of themselves when they start and then screen share the presentation.

Find something you are passionate about. Something you love talking about. It could be something you would like to show people how to do , something you have experienced and you want your younger self to get through. I would also recommend taking Alexa’s course on choosing a niche. You can also tell Gemini or Claude or ChatGPT to be your YouTube consultant. Ask them to interview you so that you can find your niche and avatar (the person you are talking to in your videos). Once you’ve discovered your avatar, you can discuss with Claude /gpt/ Gemini which transformations this avatar should go through. In that discussion AI can give you some suggestions what video topics you could do. There is even a mode where you can just talk to AI. Gemini works very well with that on your mobile. It helped me develop the first series of videos that I could make. AI does not do the thinking, but it is a great discussion partner. Alexa also has a video on how she uses AI to generate ideas into videos. You can use that structure to discuss your niche and avatar finding. https://youtu.be/9X9-p0stWOA?is=fpDYC1ZqkZLJFpTA
