The presenter demonstrates the entire process from sourcing gameplay to editing, and highlights the niche's profitability with an example of a channel earning R$7,000 in 28 days. ### Key Points - **Minecraft Niche Profitability** [00:02] — Diamond Block's channel gained over 300,000 subscribers in less than a year, earning R$7,000 in 28 days (R$1,000 from shorts). The niche is lucrative because over 80% of YouTube shorts viewers are children. - **Sourcing Gameplay** [00:59] — Two options: download copyright-free Minecraft gameplay from YouTube, or record your own gameplay. The presenter recommends the first option to avoid copyright issues and monetize content. - **Script Creation with ChatGPT** [02:08] — Use ChatGPT to generate a script for a 30-second video focused on interesting facts for a children's audience. Example script includes facts about Creepers, Endermen, and Ghasts. - **Voiceover Trick in CapCut** [03:33] — Instead of Eleven Labs, use CapCut's text-to-speech with the 'Adam' voice. Split script into segments under 500 characters, generate speech, then increase speed to 1.40 and enable pitch change to get the popular Roblox/Minecraft voice. - **Editing for Retention** [06:15] — Cut silent parts of audio to maintain 'dopamine' and retention. Use Ctrl+B to split, delete silences, and join audio. Create a composite clip before generating subtitles to avoid glitches. - **Adding Visuals and Sound Effects** [07:06] — Use CapCut's text templates for subtitles. Add background music from Pixabay (copyright-free). Insert images from Google and sound effects from Pixabay or YouTube to enhance engagement. - **Final Video and CTA** [11:07] — The completed video includes images of Creepers, Endermen, and Ghasts with sound effects. The script ends with a call to action asking viewers which fact they already knew, encouraging comments. ### Conclusion Creating a dark Minecraft channel is profitable and accessible using free tools like CapCut and ChatGPT. The key is to focus on children's content, use copyright-free assets, and optimize editing for retention. ## Transcript with me how to create a dark Minecraft channel here on YouTube. Dude, but is it really worth creating a channel in the Minecraft niche? Well, as you can see, this is Diamond Block's channel. In less than a year, he has already gained over 300,000 subscribers on YouTube alone. And best of all, in the last 28 days, he made a total of R$7,000, with R$1,000 of that coming solely from short selling. He also posts his videos on TikTok, so he's definitely making good money with those Minecraft videos. So yes, it's a very good niche, mainly because it focuses heavily on children. And today here on YouTube, more than 80% of the audience that consumes shorts is children. And best of all, you won't need to download Minecraft to make your video. But anyway, you'll learn this from me during the video. So, without further ado, let's get to today's tutorial. Okay, and the first thing we're going to need is our background gameplay. And for that, we'll have two options available. The first option is to come here to YouTube and search for copyright-free Minecraft gameplay . Here you'll see many videos, both parkour and minigames, in short, you'll find a lot of copyright-free content available . So you can choose one here that you like best, that you enjoy most, and download it from YouTube or record your PC screen, which is exactly what I did, because it's much easier. So, for example, this video here, as you can see, is a complete Minecraft gameplay. The video is over 30 minutes long, so you can simply go full screen here and record your PC screen or record with your phone, which makes it easier for you to access this gameplay. Our second available option is to download Minecraft and record your gameplay there. But we know that this requires more work. So I recommend that you come here to YouTube and download these royalty-free gameplay videos, precisely so we don't have any problems and can monetize our content. Awesome! So, now that we have our gameplay, we just need to create a script. And for that I'm going to use GPT chat, which will make my life much easier. So I'm going to click here and dictate a live prompt to you all so it's really all live and in color. So let's click here and ask him to create our script. Hi GPT, I'd like you to create a script for my Minecraft Hunts channel. My video will be 30 seconds long. I want you to make it about some interesting facts. Make sure it's well-focused for a children's audience. Beauty? Now I'm going to send this to the GPT chat and we'll see how this script turns out. him to change a few things here or create a new script. Dude, did you know that the Creeper was supposed to be a pig? Yes. The creator of Minecraft, Marcus Person, tried to make a pig, but he messed up the code, and that's how the game's most treacherous monster was born. Man, that hook turned out really cool. And there's more to it. Here he talks about the Endermen, then he talks about the guests, and here he concludes our video. Here, I could ask him to put a CTA (Call to Action) at the end of my itinerary; that would be really cool and it 's an option for us. Okay, so now I'm going to copy my entire script here and I'm going to open my Cap Cut. Today we're not going to use Eleven Labs' voice. I'm going to teach you a trick inside Capcut, both for people who play Roblox and for people who play Minecraft. This is going to be really cool and you guys are going to love this voice. So, let's open our Cap Cut to start editing our viral Minecraft video. Wonder. So, here at Capcut, I'm going to start by adding my gameplay that I recorded from YouTube, from one of those videos I showed you guys. So, here's my gameplay, it's pretty cool and cute. Now we're going to use a voice directly from Capput, a really cool voice with a trick that I'm going to teach you. text and adding a text box here. In this text box, we're going to paste our entire script. It might glitch here, but that's okay. So here we're going to right-click and click on text or speech. And here we'll have several voices available for our video. But there's a big problem. If I try to generate the voice now, it won't work, because my little text, my script, has more than 500 characters. So I'm going to have to cut it in half here. So you can see, look. This feature cannot be used with more than 500 characters. So let's go back here in text and cut our script in half. Let's take this part here, look. And do you know the guest? Beauty? Let's copy this here and delete it. And now we're going to generate the voice. Right-click, text to speech. And we'll click here on Adam. Now we're going to click here on "generate speech" and it will generate all of our speech right here. Dude, this is really cool and will save you a lot of time. Great, that's our first conversation! Now I'm going to change my text here, I'm going to put in the other one, I'm going to do the same process again, text to speech. And we'll click here on Adam. And we'll click here to generate speech as well. Awesome! So now we have all the voices for our video, but this is where the magic happens. We're going to select our two voice files here and set the speed to 1.40. That's right, 1.40. Now I'm going to press play here and you'll hear one of the most famous voices within the Roblox and Minecraft niches. Many people didn't Let's press play here. Dude, did you know the creeper was supposed to Minecraft, Marcus Person, tried to make a pig, but he messed up the code. Man, this voice is very well-known within these niches. And one very important thing you can't forget is to click here, to change the audio pitch. You have to enable this option here, otherwise it wo n't work. Beauty? So now I'm going to cut out the silent parts of my audio, which is a very important thing that we can't forget so that our video has plenty of dopamine and greatly improves retention. So, you put the slider up here, press Ctrl+B, Ctrl+B, Ctrl+B, and then you just come here deleting the and then you just come here deleting the silences and joining the audio. Wonder. silent parts of my audio, I'm going to select the whole thing, right-click, create a composite clip, and generate my subtitles here. If you don't create a composite clip, they 'll end up glitching and it won't look good at all . Since the subtitles are being generated for my video, I wanted to make a very special request: please click the like button, subscribe to the channel, and hype up the video. This really helps YouTube to continue delivering my videos here to more people. This is very So, now that I've generated my captions here, I can click here on text templates and I'll have many templates available in CCUT to put in my video. They are ready-made templates. This is really cool and it also saves a lot of time when creating our videos. Now that I have my subtitles here, I'll also take the opportunity to add some background music. I downloaded this little song from the Pixa Bay website, which is a really good site and I always recommend you download music from there because it's copyright-free, so it's much safer. Awesome! So now our video is almost ready. We'll just need to add one more finishing touch, which we'll do with these images here and some sound effects. I got the images from Google, and I got most of the sound effects from Pix Bay and also from YouTube. So, for start our video? Dude, did you know that the Creeper was supposed to Dude, did you know that the Creeper was supposed to be a pig? So, bro, did you know that? I'm going to put that little arrow here now.

Let me see a really cool one here. For the entrance animation, I'll use a slide-down effect, and for the exit animation, I'll use a fade-out effect. Here you can put whatever you think is coolest and best matches your video. So sound effect. Whenever I add an image, I also like to add a sound effect so it doesn't sound too dry. This is something very personal to me, but you can do it however you think is coolest. Let's be a pig? Beauty. So here on the creeper page, I'm going to grab an image of a creeper.

He tried to make a the most treacherous monster in the game was born . And what's more, Endermen speak man, it turned out pretty cool here. You all understand how it works. I'll be adding some images according to my script, images from Google, and I'll also be adding some sound effects. It could be from Pixabay or it could be from YouTube itself. So now I'm going to finish my video here and I'll be right back with you when it's finished. Awesome! I just finished my video and as you can see here, I only added two more images, which were this one of the Enderman and also one of the guest. Here I added another sound effect and that's it.
