way back when I started my youtube channel phones most of them didn't even record video at the time and if you got one that in a high megapixel account it was like 1.3 so all the videos I did I had to make with a handycam with digital tape you could even hear the tape winding in the backgrounds but if you're a YouTube creator now or you want to make some videos your phone can be everything for you it could be your camera but you edit with it could be what you make your thumb know it can take care of absolutely everything so my initial thought here was gonna be what's on my phone video for the note 8 but I realize I don't change my homescreen all that much so I wanted to show you what an ideal layout and what ideal apps for a YouTube creator would be assistant for a professional YouTube creator that's their only job it's for the casual creator who uploads videos every now and then and wants to be be invest in a more expensive phone with better optics that can do absolutely everything let's jump right in anything I'm gonna talk about here by the way I'll link to it down below in case you want to download any of the apps you pick up the widgets the first thing I've got at the top of my screen is a live Youtube subscriber widget and if you're just starting off you really want to keep track of home subscribers you have if you put up a video and again you 10 or 20 subscribers or as a normal video gets you half of that you want to know that you'd be able to see how well your channel is doing right away it's kind of handy to see it it gives you kind of a bird's-eye view of your channels health so the first two apps you should probably already know about but these are essentials for any to creator no matter the level the first one is YouTube studio it's made by Google themselves and lets you do things like see your live view count on your videos when you view videos on the website it'll tell you 301 I'll get stuck account it's not really a live video count going in the back end here will actually tell you what your videos are actually at you can also see your subscribers in there you can change descriptions you can change some other stuff that goes into a video like tags it's just really nice way to get access and control your content the next app should be obvious is it's the YouTube app you want to do a YouTube live or watch other people's videos it's it's the YouTube app the next one you might not think for YouTube but it's an app called dashlane it helps me manage all my passwords so I've got four YouTube channels I've got techno blood-flow got a personal blog channel we have a movie one and we another one spoilers are coming up coming up soon and those are associated with three different Google accounts so they actually just helps me remember the passwords that I'm using not just for YouTube but also like web stuff in general I like that I can use it with my phone so it'll autofill passwords as auto log me in all that stuff is nice but the biggest reason is I'm changing phones way often it'll just think all my passwords over to the new phone so I can log into my YouTube channels pretty easily without really having to worry it'll generate passwords for you it'll sync with your Mac or PC just makes things pretty easy a lot of stuff and dashlane is free there's a premium account will link to down below if you want to check it out if you decide to stick with it here's a code that'll give you 10% off thanks a bash line for actually sponsoring this video but it's legitimately an app that I've been using I wouldn't recommend it otherwise it's a great pasture management app for iOS Android or PC or Mac so definitely check them out the next app is one that's actually been way more useful for me than I thought it's called wreck Forge - essentially it's an audio recorder so if you want to lay down some vo for video you just did you want to record some thoughts for a video coming up it's a really good audio recorder I know most phone so audio recorders built-in this one gives you a bit more granular control though over the audio fidelia's you're recording it just works well for me if you don't like this one just use any audio record at your phone has there's some ads that kind of pop up it make it a little bit annoying on the UI front but the app itself works really well so a big part of YouTube is getting people to look at your videos and a lot of people choose the videos are gonna watch based on the thumbnail so if you want to create the thumbnail from your phone a couple cool apps to try the first one is picsArt so this is gonna do is gonna let you create a collage you can draw pictures you can put stickers on the pictures you can sort of make a thumbnail custom they could bright make it pop a lot of people put themselves into thumbnails it's kind of a cool way to go ahead and do that you can import in our image you've already edited and sort of spiced up a little bit if I want to create thumbnails on the go it's a pretty sweet app to try and it's totally free alright so you've got your thumbnail you got your audio maybe use your camera I didn't put the camera app in here to shoot your video if I want to do some light editing you can do it on your phone as well I've currently been trying Chi master it's a pretty solid way to edit you create a new project I'll even give you an assistant to try and help you through it but as you learn the app you can do some pretty awesome edits to make a video look seamless you can do jump cuts or even some transitions in there if you want to edit a video and have it all done on your phone like maybe you're at an event and you want to be able to cut it up and get it live really quick it's a pretty solid app and it's free as well so it's nice it maybe doesn't compete with like apples got you know the iMovie on iOS but it's pretty close and it's been totally free and this one not necessarily YouTube related but we get a ton of questions on our wallpapers they all come from this app called backdrops you can pick your favorite background and and just throw it on there it's where this one came from it's pretty easy to use you just find the wallpaper you like set it and you're all done and you get some pretty badass like a wallpapers so here's the moral if you want to use your phone as your studio you can now microphones are good enough cameras are good enough phones are powerful enough and now software is pretty awesome that lets you do all of that right from wherever you are so if this helps if I missing an app that you guys use to create video on the go let me know we've got some stuff in here that was not so related to YouTube but we're the youthful apps as well things like the backdrops app we got - Lane another sort of really useful things that make using your phone bit more utilitarian hope you guys enjoyed give it a thumbs up we appreciate it and again if I missed an app that you use for YouTube creation or video creation in general even the comments down below
