My laptop struggles with editing in Captut. Lagging audio is a major problem for me. I record mostly in 4K. I’m looking at upgrading. I have always been a PC guy but I’m looking for ideas. Do you edit mostly on PC or Mac?

You tube has Ask Studio where I requested feedback on one of my videos. They said I loose viewers at the channel intro after my hook. So should I shorten the intro like suggested? Also, I shared a tip, I quote, "you share the pro-tip about dipping your fingers in water while shaping the dough." What is the meaning of this recommendation? "Recommendation: For future cooking videos, focus on front-loading these helpful, high-value, practical tips that might not be obvious to a home cook. Viewers love to feel they are learning a trick!" Thank you for your help.

Does anyone here builds his / her channel based on the most paid niche ? Or do you all tend to create your channels around your passion and what you good at? I am asking because my niche would be essential oils for example and there are tons of those on YT. Most of them don't get much views and do not bring money as a channel. anyone? Thank you and Marry X Mass.

Hi everyone and thanks for letting me hang out where the cool kids are. I am a 67 year old, 100% disabled Army veteran. I have been married to my wife Tina for 45 years. I served in the Army as a 31S20 COMSEC repairman. I was trained on 34 different communications scramblers (think Enigma machine). I held a TOP SECRET/CRYPTO/COSMIC clearance. I was offered my choice of White House Communication Staff or Delta Force if I would reup. I decided to get out as so many people who stay in wind up divorced. Since we have made it 45 years so far, I'd say I made a good choice. My YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/@rails_and_trails. I have done many different things in my life. As I said, I started out in the Army and got to the rank of Sgt. E5. When I got out, I went to work for NCR repairing equipment in banks called proof machines that handled checks. I went from there to McDonnall Douglas and worked as a distributed numerical control electrician. I got caught up in a huge layoff and went to Nordyne as a testing engineer. I got my degree in computer science and went to work at Lockheed as a software engineer. Then back to McDonnall Douglas as a software engineer. Mac got bought out by Boeing, so then I was a Boeing software engineer. I left there to work at Paylinx as an ecommerce processing software engineer (I worked on bank payment processing stuff). Paylinx got bought out by Cybersource and I got my teaching certificate and my Master Electrician license and taught Electrical Trades at a technical school. Meanwhile I started an auction company. I ran the auction company with my wife and family for 25 years and retired. I started my YouTube channel 19 years ago to promote my auctions, and to get a link from YouTube to my website. I retired from my auction company after the VA put me at 100% disabled. I changed my YouTube channel to be about train travel and bike trails back in Dec. 2024. I started making videos about my hobbies and tried to get a little better with each video. Back in 2023 we were biking at Jeckel Island and I tried tying a handheld Sony minicam to my bicycle handlebars, needless to say, that didn't work worth a darn.
