so like it's super easy to start one. Even recording footage isn't too hard, with a bit of lighting and a not sucky camera (check out a Powershot Elphs 160 for VERY cheap or Elph 110HS for a bit nicer). Editing can be annoying, Adobe Premier is a good bet for cheaper OR start off with a no-edit policy and just make decent videos :)

I can really relate but after I make a few videos I realize the following; 1- my lighting situation is crap 2 - my laptop, which is a dinosaur, hates to render video with multiple tracks 3 - I don't have a good camera 4 - If I'm going to make videos, I need to be passionate enough to make several videos every month 5 - Making videos is A LOT easier said than done!

FWIW , I personally am interested in starting video channels covering the following subjects, but I'm a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of it all at the moment...;

1 - handyman work (for professional marketing) 2 - sailing (and specifically building a windsurfmaran) 3 - prepping 4 - Rifles (small caliber like .22lr especially)

Shopping for a camera at the moment, probably will pick up a cheap elph 160 and just go from there.
