Holy fuck this is the first "X Number of Whatever" video on the internet that actually gave useful information. Congratulations.

Average "Useful tips in UE4 Video on YT":

1. Keep your work organized, make sure you have a folder to store your materials and static meshes.
2. Use blueprints, yes you don't have to code everything
3. Keep a copy of your project, in case things go south

etc, etc. So thank you, at least 3 of your tips were huge for me. You need more subs.

Ryan, my appreciation !!!! This video depicts great combination of curiosity and methodical step-by-step learning which results in widespread range of engine's knowledge. Could you advice on how did you revealed all these tips - I mean are you completely self-taught on online courses, or you have completed some masterclasses or had a practice with kind-o more experienced mentor ?

Hey Ryan, what software do you use to capture/edit? I want to do something similar for my students where the window or area you're operating in (for example what you do with the viewport at 2:48) focuses in to the exclusion of the other elements in the program? Any help would be appreciated!
