| As any good viewer and aspiring videomaker should be aware, the videos are nigh useless without the voices and programs. As such, I have provided download links of my own personal backups. | | As any good viewer and aspiring videomaker should be aware, the videos are nigh useless without the voices and programs.

| For as important as the voices are, without a video editing program you won't be getting anywhere. Sony Vegas Pro is a rather good option, but good luck finding a legal version that's affordable. Most people start out with Windows Movie Maker, and eventually grow to a different video editor. Or don't. I (Ducky) can think of [[davemadson|at least one YouTuber]] who didn't leave WMM behind. | | For as important as the voices are, without a video editing program you won't be getting anywhere.

| But if you need more editing power, two free Vegas-like editors are DaVinci Resolve and HitFilm Express, and from what I've heard they're good. I've never used them, however. | | But if you need more editing power, two free Vegas-like editors are DaVinci Resolve and HitFilm Express, and from what I've heard they're good.

| Of course, what's a video without characters? ...several different genres, but not the kind we're going for here. You'll probably want [[Microsoft Sam|Sam]], [[Microsoft Mike|Mike]], and [[Microsoft Mary|Mary]], as well as other characters that you've either created or "borrowed" from other YouTubers. | | Of course, what's a video without characters? ...several different genres, but not the kind we're going for here.
