YouTube Poop is a not very popular video category on the internet that involves mixing one or more videos that, when mixed properly, give life to a new one. A YouTube Poop can be considered an art form and / or a source of comedy or satire. Creating one can be simple with a little practice, but to become a good "pooper" you'll have to roll up your sleeves and work hard. In this article you will find a list of steps that will teach you how to create such a video.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Prepare to Become a YouTube "Pooper"
Step 1. Learn about the various common elements of videos ("poopisms")
Poopisms are various common jokes that you can often find in YouTube Poops. The best way to find out is to watch the videos of the most famous "poopers".
Make sure the videos you watch are recent, as older videos may contain jokes that are considered outdated or taken for granted
Step 2. Research the different styles of Poop
Eg:
-
General Poop - A regular good YTP contains various lines, sounds and footage to keep the viewer interested. In a good YTP, you may notice random cuts, volume distortions to bring the audio of a super high-pitched movie, word separation and sentence combination, visual beats, colorful and eye-catching video effects, and other elements that can make a funny video.
These poops have a loyal following and are a very controversial topic in the YouTube community. They are considered a "love or hate" category
- Poop Dinner Spaghetti - the name of this style of Poop comes from the most popular original quotes of the sources that were used. This is a style accepted only by kids who love Internet memes, and are not considered funny or original by the real YTP community. The best thing to do is to avoid these poops and not follow their style unless you find it absolutely fun, because only a small group of people appreciate them. The best way to tell if a YouTube Poop is Dinner Spaghetti is to look at its title and preview; it could be called similarly to "The King Must Die" or "Mario is Shoop Da Woop" and the images are taken from video games. Poops similar to these are the Dinner Pingas Poops, which include something related to the king and Dr. Robotnik from the "Sonic" series. You should also avoid these poops if you want to become known.
- Some poops have extremely loud segments throughout the video. They are normally accompanied by abundant random visual effects to keep the video entertaining.
- Poop Flash features special effects made with programs such as Adobe Flash and Sony Vegas Pro. This pooping method has long been unused, although some people continue to follow it. Poop Flash was hated in the past, but people have begun to accept this style in recent years.
- Some Poops are based on RPG combat scenes such as Final Fantasy. They are called YTPRPG.
- Some YTPs may have a history or a strong sense of continuity. The best known are "The King Gets a Car" and "Morshu Gets a Car".
- Poop-style music videos, more commonly referred to as YTPMV, are another style. They can contain many elements, from reworking words to make the artist pronounce new phrases to creating a simple rhythm by speeding up or slowing down the singer's words. It is advisable to gain some experience before trying to make a video of this type, and to learn how to read and obtain sheet music.
Step 3. Get a basic video editing program
Windows Movie Maker, a simple editing program included in the most recent versions of Windows up to Windows 7, should suffice; however, many people find it slow and difficult to use. Many poopers prefer to use Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere to make their videos. Be careful if you decide to illegally procure these programs, as they are very expensive and can lead to complaints.
Part 2 of 2: Creating the Real YouTube Poop
Step 1. Select the video you want to edit
Some common choices are video game footage and unknown cartoons from the 90s. But remember that you can use almost any source. The six things you can use to make a YouTube Poop are movies, television shows, online videos, video games, commercials, and music videos. Children's programs like "Spongebob" and "Blues Clues" are quite popular.
Step 2. Download and import the videos
Use a YouTube video downloader to get the videos you want to edit. The most used is Any Video Converter (AVC).
Step 3. Divide the movie into the parts you want to edit
You can do this with the Split tool that you can find in the editing programs, and which allows you to create parts that are easy to manage. Be careful not to make parts that are too small, or they will become difficult to manage.
Step 4. Make your changes
For example, you can duplicate sections (often smaller than half a second and with random tones in each), add flashes of images or text (called "Subliminals"), split the words of a character to create new words not previously present (often vulgarity or sexual jokes are inserted, even if it is a practice considered abused, which continues to lose popularity), raise the volume of a movie very much, or insert movies of other videos.
Step 5. Watch the edited video from start to finish
You will need to make sure that the video is consistent, fluid and does not contain errors. During this step, you will be able to add or edit beats or elements. Try to observe the video frame-by-frame for errors if you can.
Step 6. Save the video in standard format, such as WMV, AVI, MOV or MP4
You can also save the project to edit it again later. To create an even more enjoyable "poop", edit the video you created and transform it further. There is a little known video called "Chain YTP.wmv" which shows an example of a poop created with input from the whole community and elements of many different styles.
Step 7. Upload the video to YouTube
Titles with this format "YouTube Poop: Original Title" are often used. This scheme, however, is no longer used much by the new "poopers". Many people avoid inserting "YouTube Poop" in the title to make it shorter, although this makes the video more difficult to find and does not allow you to defend yourself from "trolls".
Advice
- Practice another art such as animation or drawing. This will allow you to add interesting elements to your videos to create completely new scenes.
- If you are looking for inspiration, try watching videos made by the most famous Pooper. Watch them carefully, and check user ratings and comments to find out how popular they are.
- While it's perfectly acceptable to "borrow" styles from other poopers when you're a beginner, try to combine styles from multiple poopers, or add your own interpretation. This will make your videos more exciting and unique.
Warnings
-
Be careful when using footage without the permission of the copyright holder, and make sure your work complies with intellectual property laws. Note that copyright laws vary from state to state. If in doubt, ask for permission first."
- Just because something is available on the internet doesn't mean it's not protected by copyright. Regardless of how good you are at covering your tracks, you can still be found.
- Be careful when you violate the copyrights of Disney, Warner Brothers, CBS, Universal, or ABC. These companies are very strict in enforcing their rights. Never use a video produced by Viacom or Hit Entertainment; these companies are "merciless" and aggressively attack all people who violate their copyrights.
- Be careful when trying to introduce a new "style" of Poops. The vast majority of the community no longer introduces new styles.
- Some YouTube Poops may be unsafe for the workplace, as they may contain sexual references, racism, bad language, gore, pornography, or other items that may be deemed unsuitable for the workplace. Pay attention to the Poops you see, and what you include in them.
- You may offend people who are fans or authors of the videos you put in your poop. Make sure you ask for permission before continuing.
