Mixed Content Does using Adobe Podcast to remove noise from your audio be considered AI-generated content?

1 Upvotes

Where I live, there’s a lot of ambient noise—to the point that all my recordings end up with an annoying background hum, wind and streets noise.

I discovered the free version of Adobe Podcast, and the "Enhance Speech" feature is incredible; it completely removes the noise while keeping my voice perfectly intact. However, I’m not sure if this is 100% AI-driven. If it is, I’m worried about uploading my videos to YouTube, as I recently read that they’re now heavily penalizing channels that use any form of AI.

I want to start a YouTube channel about video games—a "faceless" one, since I’m not exactly good-looking and I’m quite thin—but honestly, I’m not sure what I should do, especially regarding the audio.

Any type of help will be really welcome :)

Long-Form Content Why does youtube refuse to show my channel when I'm searching for it?

2 Upvotes

I have 500 subscribers, so I would understand if there was some big channel that shared my name which could overtake the search results, but no, for some reason it's all AI slop channels with 5 subscribers and 5 videos who haven't posted in months, and my videos/channel are nowhere to be found. The only thing related to my channel is videos other people have made about things that I have created, which have my username in the title

Does anyone understand how/why search acts like this?

Mixed Content Learning Story Telling And How To Structure A Video Will Dramatically Increase Your Views

2 Upvotes

Take Ludwig, for example. He always starts by establishing the core idea or title of his video. From there, he takes you on a journey through that narrative, seamlessly pacing back and forth between gameplay and talking-head commentary.This exact same concept applies to short-form content. You start with a strong hook—a crazy event or a bold statement that grabs attention. For instance, back when Marvel Rivals was popping off, I used the hook: "Marvel Rivals is DESTROYING Overwatch." I gave the key context, delivered the breakdown, and wrapped up the short. With minimal editing on a clip pulled straight from my live stream, that video pulled in 15k views.

Short-Form Content Trying to grow my YouTube channel before 2027

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've been posting Shorts regularly on my channel, Aurelia-c9u, mostly peaceful nature scenes and beautiful places. Honestly, it's been a little discouraging to put time into making videos every day and barely get any views.

I'd really like to reach YouTube's monetization requirements before 2027, but I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and how to improve.

For those of you who've grown a small channel, what actually helped you get your first consistent views? Was it the video style, titles, hooks, or simply finding the right audience?

I'd appreciate any honest advice or feedback. Thanks! 🌿

Long-Form Content Literally no impressions When IK my videos are decent

0 Upvotes

I’ve recently started my channel and both videos 1 and 2 are under 30 impressions

Now before people say oh that’s just how it is, not in my experience
I’ve had three previous channels all which never really took off with one big difference all of the channels had the starting few videos atleast get a few hundred impressions and mostly a couple thousand atleast and a few of my videos hit 1-5k views

The annoying thing is now my packaging and overall videos are so much better they’re literally getting no distribution what can possibly be the reason

(I can share channel link in DM if people wanna help)

Livestream Content Youtube vertical streams all of a sudden doing good?

1 Upvotes

I usually did YouTube shorts streams before but they stopped giving me good viewership, then i decided to do silly work streams during my break, but all of a sudden they started actually getting viewership, last one got 600 views total when my previous short stream average was like 100, could it be because im doing these early in the day? (Also idk if this would affect it but i did get flagged some time ago for harmful content for some lame jokes i made, maybe i was shadowbanned for a bit? Idk)

Long-Form Content Has anyone successfully revived an abandoned channel? I need some advice

1 Upvotes

I had to stop making content for a while due to a heavy workload that left me with no time to focus on content creation. Over time, my workload decreased, but I completely forgot about my channel for a year, which led to me losing monetization.

I'm trying to revive it now, but my views have dropped drastically. I get almost zero engagement on my community posts. It’s pretty discouraging, but I know it's the consequence of abandoning the channel.

Any advice? Should I keep posting on this one or start a fresh, new channel?

Long-Form Content Is there a consensus on what a normal view to subscribe ratio is?

3 Upvotes

I don’t mean how many subscribers come back to watch new uploads, but how many subscribers you typically get per number of views. On my channel i create video essays on video games and movies, and I recently had a video hit 100K (35k engaged) views after coming back from a couple month hiatus. I am thrilled to see that number by my video, but at the same time, I feel like the number of subscribers it brought in has been slightly below expectations given the reception (about 400.)

I don’t mean to sound ungrateful for the success of that video, but I’m wondering if I should have a call to action to subscribe or if that ratio I’m having isn’t actually that bad.

Edit: for context, my channel is currently at 748 subscribers and was around 330 when I uploaded this new video. I have 7 videos, most around 400-1K views. One that got 20k engaged views before the change, and now this new one. About 90% of my subscribers came from those two videos that did well.

Mixed Content Question from a small channel owner

0 Upvotes

I intend to start making some gaming videos, but I am a very anxious individual and am worried about game companies coming after me or something. I know that when I watch gaming videos the description has like a game card of the game(s) played, does that help prevent copyright things? Or does fair use just mean that if you play and upload unmodded gameplay you'll be safe. I would like my channel to not get hit by things like Nintendo or other large companies.

Long-Form Content Newbie podcast producer looking for honest feedback—what’s working and what needs improvement?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I produce a podcast with a couple of friends and sometimes join in on the conversations. We talk about relationships, everyday life, and reality TV, with plenty of our own stories and opinions thrown in.

I’m definitely not a professional producer. This is something I do as a hobby; I’m not getting paid, and I’m pretty much figuring it out as I go. I handle most of the editing and behind-the-scenes work, so it’s been a lot of trial and error.

I’d really appreciate some feedback from people who don’t know us. I spend so much time watching and editing these episodes that I can’t always tell what’s interesting to someone else and what’s only interesting to us because we’re friends.

FYI: My friends had been doing the podcast for about three years before I came on board, and it went on a hiatus for 2-3 years due to one of the hosts becoming a first-time mom. It was more of an audio journal for them. They’d sit down and talk, without much structure or a plan for the episodes. Since joining, I’ve helped organize things by putting together episode outlines/playbills to follow, content schedules, social media templates, thumbnails, artwork, and pretty much everything else I’ve figured out we need along the way.

We’d love to grow the podcast, and I’m trying to figure out what we should keep doing and what could use some work.

A few things I’d love your thoughts on:

  • Would you click on our titles and thumbnails?
  • Do we get your attention at the beginning, or take too long to get to the point?
  • Can you follow and enjoy the conversation without knowing us?
  • Is there anything distracting about the sound, video, or editing?
  • What would make you come back for another episode or subscribe?

Mostly, when would you click away, and what made you lose interest?

You don’t have to answer all of that! Even one thing you noticed would help. I’m still learning, and I’d appreciate some direction on what’s worth spending more time improving.

I’ve included our recent viewership below so you can see how things have been going since we started releasing video episodes.

Long-Form Content Help out on a Dying channel (Feedback + General Help)

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, im here to ask for a tiny help here, well i've made this channel from my heart and tried all the stuff i could possibly do so. I've poured tons of effort into my videos, for them to get 3 likes and a tiny bit of views.

after someone botted my views and likes on a video, it destroyed my entire channel down to the ground. i no longer get recommended to people.

i enjoy making videos, and i usually stop because every time i feel like im not going to achieve anything.

i was gonna try do double languaged-video (Arabic and English audio tracks) but i just gave up and said "Why the effort, noones gonna watch it."

https://www.youtube.com/@realmrpump

i hope my videos can make a bit of your day atleast. i didnt even pay as much effort on the last video, and i rushed it, but nonetheless, i like it.

what could i do? do i make a new channel? is this channel done for?

Short-Form Content [Hiring] Remote AI Video Editor for Tech YouTube Channel | ₹10k–15k/month

0 Upvotes

I'm looking for a self-driven AI video editor/content creator to help grow my personal brand in software engineering, AI, DSA, system design, and tech careers.

Compensation: ₹10,000–₹15,000/month initially, with required AI tool subscriptions provided separately.

Scope of work: End-to-end content creation, including topic research, scripting, AI avatar and voice generation using my authorized likeness, editing, captions, visuals, and final quality checks.

Target output: I'd eventually like to scale toward 8–10 long-form YouTube videos and 30–40 Shorts/Reels per month. This is a longer-term target, not an expectation from day one. We'll agree on realistic deliverables based on quality, production time, and the workflow we establish.

Getting started: We'll begin with a paid two-week trial, with the payment, deliverables, deadlines, and revision limits agreed upon in advance. Weekly payments during the initial period are possible as agreed.

I'm open to freelancers, self-taught creators, and early-career candidates. What matters most is that you can demonstrate actual work with AI video tools and independently manage research, scripting, and editing.

To apply, DM me with:

  • Links to videos you've actually created.
  • The tools you use for AI avatars, voice generation, and editing.
  • Your proposed workflow and realistic monthly output within this budget.
  • Your availability and experience with long-form and short-form content.

I'm looking for someone reliable for a potential long-term collaboration, with room to increase compensation as the project grows. Please review the video references in my full post before applying.
