What do y'all think about the PACKAGING, the actual EDITING STYLE, pacing etc...

[dusky torrent]

why is it the same theme as mrbeast lol.

maybe make it fitting for a crime scene. Like the dude can have police tape behind him with dangerous equipment, and the female can stand behind a wall covered in blood or something

[clear ether]

I mean the CTR is wayy better then usual

[dusky torrent]

fair

[clear ether]

And I personally like it, it adds a beautiful contrast in the blue vs pink

But I totally get where ur coming from

[clear ether]

Any thoughts on the vid itself if u got a chance to watch?

[toxic tusk]

I’d be interested to walk through your compositing in photoshop

Clean af thumbnail

[clear ether]

Appreciate it - I’m sure I could have my designer send a explaination if u need. Any feedback on the vid itself besides packaging?

It’s a 8/10 rn, I rlly think it’s just gonna take a few more days to really assess results tho

[whole jewel]

“We’ve got MrBeast at home”
The Mr Beast at home:

Nah you know I’m joking tho bro thumbnail is fire well done 🙌🔥

[clear ether]

I acc hate u 😭😭😭

Ending it all rn - thanks tho!

[jade jolt]

i like concept. preety cool one

[jade jolt]

i would actually try and continue this as series if it performs ~ok'ish

like

making comparsions with different popular serial franchises

and even branching in big

[jade jolt]

p.s. new season is so good :D

i was going to keep it untill full release, than get one snack chill day to watch it.. but after E3.. i just need next friday asap

[jade jolt]

p.p.s. cool video also

[clear ether]

Thanks g - I appreciate it! What would this “even branching in big” entail, what would that titling sound like?

[clear ether]

I’m glad u like it, cuz it is NOT performing… its a 9/10, i also did change the title from “male vs female serial killers” to “why women are better serial killers”… didn’t do much tbh.

[clear ether]

Dude fr, I was expecting some generic spinoff, but the way they’ve approached it by using HARRISON as one of the focal points and his sloppiness is v refreshing. Creates a fantastic dynamic between him and his father

[jade jolt]

use dexter as base :)
"Women are deadlier than DEXTER...That's why"
"You may watch dexter and think "whoah, this guy killed so many" fast edit of kills.. well i counted, and actually just 50...but also i found one insanely horrific thing! just take a look here..."

you technically baiting click with dexter, but never mentioning it.

i mean in intro

[clear ether]

Interesting so do u mean this as a SCRIPTING change or a title change itself?

Currently the title is ‘male vs female serial killers - who wins?”

[clear ether]

I think regardless the retention was 40%, so stats wise I feel as if it should be performing but yes reaffirming Dexter in the intro may have helped reaffirm

[whole jewel]

Tbf your most viewed vids all have the film/show in the title

Maybe something along the lines of like: “Reviewing Every Female Killer More DEADLY Than DEXTER”

Potentially a bit wordy but hopefully you get my point

[jade jolt]

i would say exactly first ~5 seconds + title change

retention is cool, since video is actually entertaining, and overal script is fun

[clear ether]

Yk this IS a strong point

[jade jolt]

but i would just guess it looks like this

[clear ether]

I changed it to “Who’s SMARTER - Male Vs Female Killers”

[clear ether]

Can u guess the percentage?

[jade jolt]

you told it's 40%

[clear ether]

And did u have a specific title in mind?

Ahhh Woops 😭😭

[clear ether]

Thank u this means a lot

[jade jolt]

but it's like 55% drop of in 5 seconds, and than probably people stay

its just a guess :)

since you broke rule #1 with this video

"confirm the click"

and there is also rule #2, but (thats mine)

[clear ether]

Tbh yes, most vids of mine r like this… it’s more of a 50% drop before 1 min mark

[jade jolt]

it called "people don't read"

so if you press on dexter

and there is no/almost no dexter

you move

i actually haven't xD

i read title after 1 min

[clear ether]

That’s a v strong point actually

It’s like an autopilot thing I feel like I’ve defo done that

[jade jolt]

so i would not stress alot about this one

let it cook

you just have ~1-2 month of dexter hype to make some related to him uploads

and in next ones, make sure to use him in title-thumbnail-5 second

[clear ether]

Do u think after the first 5 seconds it isn’t as big a deal?

I made a vid called “the genius acting behind serial killers” made dex the MAIN element in the thumbnail, but in the vid he was just ONE of the several killers I addressed

Why do u suppose THAT case is different than this one?

[jade jolt]

its fine. but again

imagine you press on "how MR BEAST became famous"

with mr beast and 100000000$ on thumbnail

and first five seconds

"you know there is youtube secret structure that is underwater, but not alot of people know it beside some guys"

with this on screen

(random pic from google, i dont know this guy)

yeah thats cool... but i just need to see 2-3 cuts of jimmy, growing subs, and money for example

theeeeeen...just whatever

video could even be about moon cycles and taro cards for rest 20 minutes if it tied to mr beast

but let me at least have aproval, that title + thumb is at least tied to some expectations

so in your video , i was like -> "hmm...there is movie about some girl who is deadlier than dexter? let me check"

then you start with cool questions, and im like "ok...interesting"

but thats curiousity and also you asked to check pacing

if im random dude who chiling with doritos and wanted to see dexter

i probably go back to shorts again xD

never know

[clear ether]

That’s a v fair point - the image of Dexter is too misleading, would a thumbnail change to perhaps “Hannibal lector” as the male, make a difference?

If I were to redo this, maybe that question is COOL but there needs to be graphics OF Dexter, of pearl… and a slight suggestion that she may be better in some way… and then rest can go as usual

Just because the thumbnail has built it up to be like that

[jade jolt]

i would again... just let it cook :0

[clear ether]

What does this mean

I’ve always thought things cook when U make a specific change

Thumbnail, titling etc

[jade jolt]

it's fine, 40% retention, it's not 10of10 complete flop

[jade jolt]

no :)

just sit and "age"

[clear ether]

9/10 is basically ten 😫

[jade jolt]

it could just blow up anytime you dont expect

i came back from "vacation" and geting 5th 10of10 in a row xD

[clear ether]

And ur not actively looking to find better titles/thumbnails for those 5 vids?

[jade jolt]

dunno what happened this month, but every video just none impressions + ctr in deep ocean

[clear ether]

I have heard this a lot, just never experienced it lol

[clear ether]

You’ll bounce back no biggie

[jade jolt]

yeah, i just upload :) and working on next

[clear ether]

I am curious tho, if u like letting things “age”, aren’t u ever worried you aren’t “ageing” it with the BEST optimal inputs (titles/thumbs)

[clear ether]

How do I know which is better “Who’s smarter - male vs female killers” OR “male vs female serial killers” , u have any PERSONAL opinion on these titles?

[jade jolt]

15 is not too much ofc. i got better examples in some places, but would be hard to remember which one

[jade jolt]

if title somewhat clickable -> thats fine

constantly changing stuff, will just confuse YT

remember, algo working

people who click -> watch

thats next guys who is similiar to them, who will be served with this video

[clear ether]

So should I revert to “male vs female serial killers” and just shut up about it 😭

[jade jolt]

so by changing title you may just confuse YT, since new title will be more clickable for different guys

[jade jolt]

toss a coin xD

if not sure

[clear ether]

LOLL seriously???

Ur methods r so taboo I love it

[jade jolt]

ah yeah

i like this example (my personal)

[clear ether]

Do u have a personal opinion on either of those?

[jade jolt]

guy sit in front of apple and orange, and "thinks" what to pick...

"thinks" in quotation for a reason

thats most common "stopper" for humans.. like "i need to think".. " i still thinking / deciding" etc.

well... to "think" you need inputs of information

if there is no inputs -> there is nothing to think about

and best thing to do is to act

so if you don't have obvious chain like..."hmm..apple is nice, but i ate too much sugar yestarday, so it would not fit my macros in a week...but orange...i ate nothing this morning, and there is not a good idea to raise acidity in stomach early..."

and so on

just toss a coin and eat dmn apple :)

or orange.. whatever result is

[jade jolt]

i like curent - MALE Vs FEMALE Serial Killers - Who Wins?

probably just "vs" not "Vs" but thats just me

i like to balance caps

but i like caps :)

my titles is mostly - CAPS CAPS nocaps CAPS CAPS

or - No Caps CAPS CAPS No Caps

[clear ether]

arghh it was initially "male vs female serial killers" - and had like a 8.1% ctr day one lol, i think ima just stick to it and let it age as you say....

[clear ether]

this being a 'stopper" is very true, you can get so lost in your head about simple things like this ALL the time

tossing a coin acc sounds fun lol, i think ima steal that strat... makes life feel more fun

[jade jolt]

i tossed coin for like 10 years in a row xD

never regreted

started from "what to wear"

but it later start to feel as "extra friction" before you just pick tshirt and go

so yeah... in the end, i just instantly identify tasks that require 0 extra brain input

titles , as much as they can impact performance... in reality i would say is 5% of success. not more

and it should be just readable, and understandable

[jade jolt]

forgot to follow up

and yeah, its far more crazier vids that gets traction after 100-200 days

just need to find audience

[clear ether]

wow this is an insane graph. zooming into the origin it looks like it was DEAD for quite some time and then that spike gave it views forever

good stuff g, appreciate the chat sorry i didn't circle back on it in time lol

[jade jolt]

thats fine xD

[sweet peak]

@clear ether intro there is too many things going on for the viewer to see

[clear ether]

really? why do you say that?

[sweet peak]

@clear ether

[clear ether]

ahh too many elements you feel?

[sweet peak]

ye

[clear ether]

the stars, the people AND the serial killers?

[sweet peak]

I was watching one of Jon Y's videos and he mentioned

"Respect viewer's eyes as well as their time"

and they specifically mentioned that too much stuff on screen is just too much

while keeping things focused where there eyes can lock in on the main point is what is good

I hope this tip helps

It was Jon's video

after all

[clear ether]

this is acc v key thank you - and yes it totally makes sense actually!

[clear ether]

if u ever have time, i'd love ur thoughts on my newest vid too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roDlf-2f4L4&t=123s

it acc has the HIGHEST retention of any of my newer vids with 47% avd

[sweet peak]

Wow this is fantastic

However

This is my personal opinion from just the first minute

the editing is awesome

I thought it was a faceless channel

at first

until I saw you

which you came in 30 seconds after the intro

IMO if you show your face with your dialogue combined with the editing, it would go towards your personal brand

those are my thoughts

The cuts and the editing is a massive contribution to the high retention, nice!

[clear ether]

Interesting! So show my face even earlier into the vid?

[clear ether]

Thank you so much! Ya I’ve been playing around with adding in the actual audio of the clips I use, in sync with the vid so it feels more seamless and integrated

And how I use smash cuts to break tension etc

[sweet peak]

Keep it up

[jade jolt]

yeah i agree. + will unload early editing alot.

~5 seconds -> cool edit
~5 seconds -> you
~5 seconds -> small edit
Hook is done -> video

[clear ether]

Thanks agent T loving the methodical approach!

[clear ether]

Yo man mind if you add me so we can dm?

[jade jolt]

done
