A/B Testing option for Titles & Thumbnails?
Today for the first time YouTube offered me the option of A/B testing. I chose to test titles but not thumbnails. Next time I may make different thumbnails to test. Have any of you tried this option? What feedback did you get?

I've tried it a few times back in March and April, but I was too impatient to wait for the results. I never let it run for more than a couple of days. 🤣
What's the longest you've ever gone not posting any videos?
I'm hitting 4 weeks now, with a new long form video coming out this weekend. This will be the longest time for me I think and while it's not ideal, I am OK with it. I've been wrestling with a couple of script outline-y thingy's for this and the next video and been tempted to just roll with an outline I had a couple weeks ago but then changed my mind. I've not yet filmed a video I wasn't 100% onboard with so why start now? And of course been enjoying doing group lives so that always fills my cup. What's your longest time without posting any videos and why? PS. Pinched this wall art idea from seeing this video from Peter McKinnon when he was visiting the Epidemic Sound studios! I made it in Canva - let me know if you want a copy and I'll drop it in here.

@L T That sounds awful. 🫂 Yes, I was referring to Covid. It was my second time and it wiped me out. The first time I got it, in 2023, it was similar to a mild cold.
Video Surging in Views
Hello everyone. Over the past 4 days I've had a video that has begun to pick up a lot of views, almost 1300 the last I looked. I'm curious what to expect if anyone has had similar experiences? Does it flatline for awhile while YT figures stuff out and resurge or does it continue to get pushed out more and more? A friend that I know had a video go viral (it did get her monetized) about 8 months ago and mentioned that her's did not pick up momentum until day 26. What I have noticed since this interest in the video, is that my other videos have begun to surge as well. Any thoughts, tips, etc?

I've had a couple of videos hit 1k views and then plateau. Then get a mini-surge with a couple of hundred views several months later. It's definitely unpredictable.
Processor Power with DaVinci etc…
Those who use DaVinci or similar, do you have pretty powerful computers? I am finding it freezes my MacBook Air more often recently. I think my processor and memory are maybe borderline, even for shorter videos.

DaVinci is a memory hog and I had the same problem with my laptop. I upgraded to a desktop computer with a dedicated video processor and now everything is fine.

@L T I relied on my husband, the tech geek, to help find the right computer. He felt the iBUYPOWER Slate 9 Gaming Desktop PC would be the best bang for our buck to support the type of video editing I do. The features he was looking for: - Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Processor that supports HD video editing - NVIDIA 16GB graphics card - dedicated video memory - 32GB of DDR5 RAM - 2TB NVMe solid state drive to support quick boot-up and load times. In the 6 months I've owned it, I haven't had any of the problems I had with my old laptop.
"YouTube Recap is currently available in New Zealand, and is coming to more countries soon."
Have you got this yet? Mike Adams is right, it's available in New Zealand right now, coming to other countries soon! (We still don't have hype yet so I can only assume there must be bugs they are trying to iron out before dropping to the eagles of the world😂.) After I clicked the 'Your 2025 Recap is here' these came up.
