# Q&A With Practical Psychology YouTuber Theodore
Andy Rodriguez Oct 7, 2020 2:21:00 PM
With 1.4 million subscribers, it’s fair to say Youtuber Theodore, creator of [Practical Psychology channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCir93b_ftqInEaDpsWYbo_g), is VideoScribe savvy. We had a chat with him recently about his success and his thoughts on our [whiteboard video software](https://www.videoscribe.co/en/whiteboard-animation).
**Q. What do you like most about the application?**
A. VideoScribe allows me to create high-quality videos without learning a difficult software, spending an outrageous budget, or wasting hundreds of hours.
**Q. Do you use many other applications alongside VideoScribe to create your videos?**
A. I sometimes use Adobe Premiere to edit other clips (like .Gifs or .AVIs) into the video, but only for important videos.
**Q. Can you run us through the process you take from having an idea for a video to completing it? I.e what actions do you take to get started on your video?**
A.
1. Check out viral videos
2. Ask your customers what they want
3. Think of a great video idea
4. Write the script
5. Record the narration
6. Edit the narration
7. Animate it
8. Monetize your videos
**Q. Roughly how long does it take you to complete a VideoScribe project from start to end?**
A. When I started, it took me about an hour to create one minute of animation. Now I can animate one minute in about 30-45 minutes. So an 8 minute video takes about 4-6 hours.
**Q. What 3 pieces of advice would you give to new users of VideoScribe?**
A.
1. Watch the tutorials to learn faster (learning by doing takes much longer and you might miss some cool tools!).
2. Start small and slow, nobody creates a masterpiece on their first try. Animating is a skill, just like playing the piano or fixing a car.
3. And lastly, if you're using it to start a Youtube channel, make sure you find a way to stand out and stay persistent. So many creators will copy someone else's design to a T because they think it will work, or give up within their first 3-5 videos. If you can find your own niche, and get past 10 videos - success awaits you!
