My subscription runs out for CapCut Pro on 11.1. I am tapped out on money flowing out so I have decided to switch up editing programs! The down side, learning a new program. I have decided to go with DaVinci Resolve 21 the free version. I have heard from others on here it is a good option. I have heard it said many times, YouTube is no longer the go to place to learn things. Me being me, I did the YT search on learning DaVinci. Well, to all the DaVinci gurus, you didn't help! You assumed I knew some stuff! I was so confused and discouraged after watching a few videos. In my frustration I ran to my friendly assistant, ChatGPT to vent! Oh my goodness, I can't say enough about the step by step process Chat laid out for me to follow in publishing my first DaVinci video! What I thought would take me a month of learning, and practicing took just a few hours! It was a very simple video with some B-roll and music added, no fancy stuff like transitions and text overlay. But still for this 67 year old woman, I was excited to get it done without all the frustration! Bottom line, Chat can be used for LEARNING as well as a rock polisher for scripting! Just wanted to share the tip!

I was among the first 500 members to this group. And I credit Alexa and the group for much of my success as a YouTube Creator. I started my channel at 80 years old, monetized in nine weeks and now I have over 43,000 subscribers. I have started my own Skool, “Old Me Living Better.” It’s only three weeks old but has over 250 members. It is $5.00 a month. Nothing else to buy. You get access to my guides and worksheets, including “How I Make $1000 a Month Side Income,” and my “YouTube Quick Start Guide.” https://www.skool.com/oldmeliving/about

I just finished my first video for a new channel. The title is "The HARSH TRUTH About Aging Alone (And How YOU Need To PREPARE NOW)". Which thumbnail would you click?

Hey folks! 7 months & 22 days in, I got monetized and I have a video about it, but I'm also happy to answer any questions here too. Also, thank you so much to everyone here who has helped me on the journey, so glad I can finally return the favor! https://youtu.be/M6kSjy0c04I?si=AygrMTUBMzGidfNJ

For those of you who record using your laptop, do you use the laptop mic OR do you use something external? If so, what do you use?
