inside this West Los Angeles building is a video production paradise built specifically for the more than 1 million people who regularly upload videos to YouTube in today's video I'm going to share with you some of my favorite fashion one thing that we found that has been an impediment in the past too many YouTube creators is that they don't have a big stage that they can work on or they don't have a fast edit machine that they can work on so that's available this is YouTube space la a forty one thousand square foot facility with seven stages a control room 20 editing areas and more a lot of creators are used to watching their videos on a screen of this size but here at this YouTube space and they can see what they look like on a much larger screen the space offers not just equipment but expertise ranging from workshops to residences and month-long labs focusing on categories such as comedy or beauty we also have a team of engineers and producers that are based here that are here to help you learn more about how to use all of the equipment here and understand some of the techniques that will without an extraordinary amount of effort allow you to increase the quality of the videos that you're making YouTube says while they offer technical advice they refrain from creative critiques leaving the content in the hands of the partners what we also do is we've left this stage up and are allowing all these different beauty channels to come and spend time on the catwalk and shoot videos that they want to shoot the cost for all of this if you have a channel on YouTube that's really the price of admission this crash course in video production is completely free though there is an application process and requirements include that partners have at least 10,000 subscribers and a hundred thousand views per month creators must pay their way to Los Angeles however YouTube will continue to grow if we continue to make good content available for our audience that's something we really believe and we saw this as an opportunity to step in and show that we were investing in the source of the best content platform which is some of our best creators is actually really big this summer time la is one of 150 partners who have used the facility she and her husband and partner moved from the east coast to Southern California hoping to grow their fashion channel Eric and I would like to take this on full-time do something that we love because we're coming from a we're coming from a background where you know we do taxes and finance it's not that fun so here we get to be more creative and we're hoping to do this full time so far 400 videos have been created here including some by stars like actor Matt Damon and singer Robin Thicke neither close to reaching the billion views of Gangnam style but you never know when the next viral video will be born buncombe non-stop in Los Angeles I'm SI me das cnet.com for CBS News
