My YouTube Gear

The equipment and software I use to make my YouTube videos

SOFTWARE AND APPS

I use YouTube creator browser plug-in TUBEBUDDY for SEO, video tags and analytics. Check it out for free here. AND THEN when you're ready to subscribe, use my code ARNOPPBUDDY to get a 20% discount!

I livestream via STREAMYARD. Check this great software out and get $10 credit.

For music and sound FX, I use the mighty EPIDEMIC SOUND. Grab a free trial here.

For design, I use CANVA, which has progressed exponentially over the last year in particular. They also offer a free trial.

OPUS CLIP allows me to easily transform my long-form YouTube videos into short-form content for the likes of Instagram or TikTok. It even auto-generates captions! Grab your free trial here.
