If you haven't been watching my videos lately, then you may not have noticed that I got a new computer. A new, M4 Mac Mini. This thing is truly a beast. I've already made several Yoshi's Island parts on it, and even a non-gaming video discussing my experience using it so far. To say the least, it's been fantastic at handling everything I throw at it.
I've been using iMovie to edit most of the footage together and make some small edits here and there. Once I get more comfortable using it, I think I can start to do more complicated and advanced edits that make videos stand OUT. I think the reason I never made cooler videos on my Chromebook was because it was a slog to use. If it's not fun to just casually use the computer, then it will most definitely not be enjoyable to try and push it to do productivity or anything that requires some time and effort. For example, trying to set up a recording to film an Oracle of Ages video was a huge hassle. After I'm doing filming, editing on a slow, laggy, and small machine is the last thing I want to do. Heck, even editing on this Mac became a bit tiresome after a bit (and that was with good tools). So, while it is definitely possible to make some interesting videos on a Chromebook, it will not even come close to doing it on anything else. Sorry ChromeOS.
Making videos that do not relate to gaming take significantly more time, effort, and ideas put into them. It's quite easy to just hit record on the screen recording and play Yoshi's Island for half an hour. Does it make an entertaining video? Not really. Most videos that I like watching are well put together, interesting, and honestly not even gaming related. That sounds crazy, but it's true. Gaming videos can be really good, but it's a very saturated video category. Bog, for example, is one of my favorite tech YouTube channels that has very quality videos on plenty of computer stuff.
So, moving forward, since I have the capable hardware, I am going to start uploading new, different videos. I want to experiment with how I go about making them and what kinds of things I will make videos on.
