Awesome!  Excited to see what you do with your channel!  Analysis Paralysis happens to all of us at some point.  I've found the best way to escape it is to start making videos.  When my head is down and I'm moving forward that feeling starts to go away.  One way to do this is start making some short form content.  Takes less time and you get that feeling of accomplishment by finishing a video faster which will help encourage you to keep going.  

Great Idea.  I'm working on a series all about action cameras soon.  I'll put a section in there about technical specs and ways to approach more compressed footage that you typically get from action cameras.  

I reuse clips all the time.  I think theres no issue in reusing b roll.  I actually built a stock library of my own footage in a FCP file so that I can search and find clips fast.

Check out this video.  it has a few more tools for video ideas.  Also VidIQ has som good tools for video ideas

What you're trying to avoid is if that dip stretches much further to the bottom which is called the hockey stick.  

Looking at your retention graph that is normal.  For my main channel tutorial style videos theres always a dip at the front like that.  Here is a recent video and you can see I have a similar dip. You can see the grey is my typical video so this is performing normal for me.

Theres a feature to upload photos here in the community.  Go ahead and upload the photo here so we don't have to link out to see it 

Look at what happens at those dips.  Did you say something or did the video slow down?  Use the dips of a guide on where to look and see what happened to cause people to leave
