Every Frame A Painting. A great channel (that I wish was getting new videos) going deep on about aspects of moviemaking, editing, musical scores etc. High production quality videos and interesting even if you’re not a film buff or movie nerd.

How The Economic Machine Works by Ray Dalio comes to mind. It's 31 minutes long and provides a great high-level overview of basic economic principles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHe0bXAIuk0&t=3s

This was my go-to video to put me to sleep, but it has sound effects and I found other videos. The two others are Clayton Christensen's talk at Google, and John Danaher's appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast. These two are just amazing as the dynamic range of everyone's voice is so narrow. They don't have ups and downs. Their voice is rather monotonic and soothing. I'm asleep in less than 5 minutes. I know because I remember the topic I slept to, and diff it with the topic I haven't listened to.

I also listen to old tool restauration videos/CNC/industrial sounds as they put me to sleep as fast if I haven't booked a hotel room on the first floor of a hotel that gives to a busy city street at peak time, or at a specific place that overlooks a mechanic shop with pneumatic tools during work hours. I can't control traffic or people's work hours, so these videos are the closest I got to reproducible, predictable, on-demand sleep.

This is marvellous! I loved when YouTube recommended me some stuff about camera angles from Vox, or how interesting old 3D cameras worked.

I didn’t really know how to search for this kind of content, this channel is gold!

World's Most Advanced Video Editing Tutorial (Premiere Pro) - Editing LTT from start to finish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6ERELse_QY

Damn, 4 hours!

I just got into a bit of video editing because I had to do a real app demo for my new app, for it to be approved on the App Store (https://lowtechguys/rcmd)

This should come in handy for the next app!

I'm not generally a fan of made-for-youtube, but they do have some classic documentaries on there. Including "the most expensive factual series ever made", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_at_War . Made in the 70s, it was long enough to regard it as history but recent enough that senior participants were still alive and available to be interviewed.

Almost nothing it's due to (almost) all you tube educative info contents is terrible as youtuber just target the max viewers as much as possible without caring content's truthfulness and quality

Yes, but "almost nothing" in a domain of millions of educational videos is still a lot. One just needs help curating, like this thread.
