From the video

Answers: How does LEMMiNO make his documentaries and run his YouTube channel?

• Documentary video production process
• Scope creep in video editing
• Video research and sourcing methods
• Software and equipment used for video creation
• Handling errors in published videos
• Working with frame rates vs resolution

What it concludes

• Initial video drafts are typically three to four times longer than the final script, making cutting and scaling down an essential part of the process.
• Editing is considered the most fun part of the video-making process rather than the most time-consuming or laborious.
• Making separate correction videos is ineffective because most viewers of the original video never watch the correction.
• Frame rate is preferred over resolution, and sticking to 1080p at 60fps is favored over 4K at lower frame rates.
• The pandemic has had a minimal impact on the creator's daily life and workflow due to already working from home.
