How to make a video for youtube?

Scubadevils

How do you make videos for youtube? It's just to put up some music tracks I have looked for but couldn't find and would like to stick up myself.

I am not bothered about how impressive the video is, more to get the music up - something along the lines of those kinda fractal style videos, surely there is an easy way to make them? I thought maybe winamp or Mediaplayer would have an option to create a video but couldn't see one.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Cheers

I use windows movie maker, have you got that??? Pretty simple to use. Generally what i do is just add titles at the begginning but more recently i've used photo's of the track from discogs also in the video but like you say it's all about the music.

Cheers, no don't have that. Must go google it now.

I'm not too fussy as I said re the quality of the video but it is nice I suppose to have good visuals so cheers also for the discogs suggestion

Yeah you can download WMM just make sure it's the latest version as the first version i had was really really basic but useless basic. You can apply a few effects and the lates one but like i said it's not comlicated at all. I would also reccommend to put a discogs link in the "About this video" Section because it's well handy for anybody who likes the track and would be interested in buying it. Goodluck mate

Ok, got a couple done now but not too happy with the sound quality, I have heard a lot better. The sound is fine before uploading to youtube and I recorded in medium quality as I reckoned high quality would be too big a file?

This is one...

The average file size when putting together a video is around the 20mb mark but i have had up to 40mb and it was no problem uploading. Just takes about 5/10 mins longer but is worth it.
