What do I need.

[BillyDkid]

I am tired of seeing all of these people on youtube and not having my own voice heard. I have stuff to say and I think I would be a good advocate for Ron Paul - but I am technologically retarded. What do I need to make a video for youtube. A camera, obviously, but what kind of camera? Do most video cameras download to youtube? Will I have to screw around with a format? Please tell me how to go about this. my sincere thanks, BDK

You don't need a camorder unless you want to film footage yourself. I created my first 4 youtubes with just downloaded jpegs, a couple of youtube videos that I spliced some footage from.

Here's my stuff. Maybe they will give you some ideas. All you need is software to compile the video, add text, etc. I used some Canon utility to put mine together. There are probably freeware available to do it.
