This is great advice - wish I'd heard it sooner! I spent so many hours figuring out how to add fancy bits & baubles to my earlier videos, and transitions all over the place... only to realize that none of THAT makes a difference!Even though I'm just a tiny hobby channel, I had the same problem at first. It takes time just getting used to talking to/through a camera. As for polish, I'm intentionally trying to keep my videos pretty simple to focus at getting better at my general presentation style and my editing workflow. Only when I feel that I have those down will I try to work on making the videos fancier. For your early videos, you don't need anything more than a camera and mic, and something to say. The rest can come later!
Concentrating on your workflow - from recording to editing to publishing - is a great thing to start on!
The other thing I'd recommend is to tinker with your recording gear nearly constantly, so you get a deep understanding of how it works, what's going to record, and how to change settings quickly and on the fly when needed.
