    Don't worry I'm terrible at video editing for my channel XD

    Great quality but, instead of music the whole way through maybe have you talking and stuff so it isn't a boring :) Hopefully that helped..

    Less cuts, different games, commentate instead of music, but have music in the background of you talking. (Also, make sure the music is quieter) When talking, make sure you're really confident and not too quiet.

    Ok, so the content is pretty good. Some tips I have are
    • Have a time when you'll be uploading a video; whether it be on Monday and Wednesday, or once a week. Maybe even at a certain time.
    • Do series; make some of the same video types in a row.
    • Playlists. Create a playlist to keep yourself organized, it'll look nicer, too.
    • Intro videos. Try to change them up every month or so. It gives your channel a nice spaz.
    • Channel art. By far one of the most needed things. You need something that represents you.
    • Name. You want a cool name, something short enough that people will remember.

    Hope some of these help, I'll add more in later.

    Ok, I have some more tips:
    • If you're using music with drops, try to line it up with kills or something large; it makes it more dramatic.
    • If you're in a fight and the other person is about to die, clip that part of the video and make it slow motion.
    • If there's a long part of nothing too exciting happening, fast forward it.
    • You can try to apply a little motion blur to certain times for a decent effect.

    Your channel doesn't exist.
    Might need to fix that if you want a successful channel.

    Oh yeah soz. Actually it's 180 subs. And I private D all the vids for a while coz some stuff at school. Basically at my school if you're different or do to something different, it's bad and should be punished. So yeah I got bullied a bit but I'm not backing down. If you want something to work, keep at it and don't let anyone tell you different.

    Tips.

    • Make a series
    • Advertise in a heavenly manner
    • Get Sony Vegas pro13 (11 for a 32x PC) You can find tutorials on how to get it for free on youtube, but I advise you.
    • Get FPS boosting mods
    • Try OBS or Fraps for screen capture, OBS is free, but Fraps cost 30$, (Tutorials on YT on how to get it got free)
    • Try a simple main-type of gamemode, (PvP, Survival, Skyblock, Prison)
    • Forget your even recording and express yourself
    • Get some channel art, (Me and @[Senpai] xFaK10 could make you some art for free)
    • Work on your commentary
    • Target what audience you want
    • Try joining a youtube community
    I hope all of these help you all out!

    Heres some Advice for ya

    Ok, so i would recoment Learning to make renders just like skin renders or scenery rends and so on.
    (if you already dont know how to)

    I would recoment using Blender, its a free program
    Or Cinema 4d its paid, unless u can find ur ways around that
    If your desperate just go on Nova skin and use "Pose"

    Anyway, these renders will help to use as Outro's/intro's and coverart stuff

    ALSO
    If your not talking in your videos, i would recommend adding music. Or adding Music behind your voice.

    And other tips that other people have posted above

    Just one tip: Don't use a dubstep intro, it is so overused.

    Before you start recording, make sure you have the settings you are most comfortable with on your recording software and make sure the fps is 60+ On the software and on Minecraft.

    His channel won't be existing properly. It needs to gain popularity first, in order to be more recognised and easier to search as it will be growing.
