How I Plan and Film Content For YouTube (Tips to be FAST and EFFICIENT!)

So you want to film videos faster??

Before you can do that, you NEED to make sure you have a video game plan in place. That means determining all the up front research of your video MUST be done on a completely different day than your video filming day.

That's right, one of my easy YouTube filming hacks is to make sure you are planning and recording your videos on two different days. This filming hack will not only save you from stressing out, because you don't know what to say in your video. BUT it is also going to save you time editing your video.

It's time to take these beginner tips for filming YouTube videos, and apply them to your own videos so you can start filming videos faster!

I LOVE your Filming tips so much Trena, I have learned so much about batching and making your YouTube life easier from you over the past few years. If you haven't tried Trena's tips, just do it! You will be so grateful you did.
Big hugs 🤗

This has so much VALUE. Thanks, Trina!

First I want to say that I’m sad that the challenge is ending. Ive learned so much from you. I agree planning videos and filming on the same day is exhausting. I had been doing it but I won’t anymore.

Wow, this video is a gold mine! I heard about your channel on a podcast 608, and I am so glad - I feel like I need to see your videos with a pen & notebook!

Great info Trena! I have followed a lot if your batching tips and they really help. I remember so well those preschool years and trying to cram everything into that time.

Batching is the only way to go. I'm have through October recorded and only two more to edit, upload, and schedule. Thanks for teaching this to me, Trena!

In retrospect, I'm glad I thought to change my shirt between all my videos. I have a closet in my office/studio where I have a shirt rotation, so the same shirt doesn't appear in 2 videos in a row. Wear the black polo then rotate it to the back, next comes the blue button-down.

Great synopsis of your planning and filming process. I've been struggling with ideas and getting out one video each week. That weekly deadline is always looming and it weighs heavily on my mind. When I've been able to batch and film 3-5 at one sitting and have a few weeks in the can, I feel a LOT less pressure and anxiety. Thanks!

Hi Trena, I couldn't agree more, you're a lifesaver ❤

[mondrilla]

Will definitely use this for my videos! THANK U! :)

[JadeKimberlieballoons]

Definitely needed this - I’m struggling to find the time to start back at YouTube!

[lilianchidinmagilbert]

I love it, thank you so much ma.

Please, ma. What application do you use in editing your video

[JadeKimberlieballoons]

Trena (or anyone else) can I ask some advice…

Do you think you can change your YouTube niche ? I started of as just a hobby channel for vlogs and anything I wanted - I then had some balloon videos go viral so now my channel is categorised so now if I do anything but balloons it totally flops 🤦🏽‍♀️ however now I want to return to YouTube I just want to do my videos that I enjoy doing not balloon ones!

Thanks in advance! ✨
