In brief

This tutorial walks beginners through the entire process of creating a YouTube video—from filming with a camera (like the Canon M50) to editing in Adobe Premiere Pro and uploading it. It’s ideal for anyone starting out who wants a clear, end-to-end guide, though it leans on specific gear recommendations and software tools.

Key steps

  1. Set up your camera (e.g., Canon M50) with recommended settings for YouTube
  2. Design a custom thumbnail using free tools or Photoshop
  3. Title, tag, and upload your video with SEO best practices

Questions & answers

Do I need expensive gear to follow along?

No—the video includes a smartphone-only section (starting at 20:21) for filming.

What software is used for editing?

Adobe Premiere Pro is demonstrated, but free trials are linked for both Premiere and LinkedIn Learning.
