20 Minute YTP Challenge

The 20 Minute YTP Challenge is a challenge in which YouTube Poopers gather on a voice call and have twenty minutes to edit a source.
== History ==
The 20 Minute YTP Challenge originated on TheRealXboxNerd's Discord server on the 27th March 2020. The idea for the challenge started from Percy66 c who suggested having editing challenges in the voice call under a time limit and to compile the results into a collab. MONTAGUE then suggested to take one scene from a Thomas episode and take twenty minutes to edit it. The Thomas and TUGS man added that two number wheels should be made to randomise which episodes should be used, the first to decide the season and the second to decide the episode number.
Only nine people made it for the challenge: TheRealXboxNerd, The Thomas and TUGS man, Amber The Fangirl, Orbonom, Percy66 c, RVPMatt123, TheAngstyAdolescent, MONTAGUE and WTLNetwork. In the call, it was decided that everyone could pick one scene from the episode selected at random and everyone would have twenty minutes to edit it. This was done for two episodes: Whistles & Sneezes and Percy's Promise. Everyone enjoyed the challenge and it became a daily activity on the server, gaining a lot more participants in just the next round.
Percy66 c served as the editor of the collab and also edited the thumbnails. The Thomas and TUGS man was in charge of spinning the wheels which decided which episodes would be selected for the round. The channels that the collabs went on were decided at random, the first collab was uploaded to Percy66 c's channel.
From around Round 3, people began using multiple scenes from the same episode instead of just one.
Thomas the Tank Engine was used as a source for the first seven rounds, before people wanted a change of source by Round 8. Random children's shows were put on a wheel and Little Miss and Fireman Sam were selected at random. The different sources were enjoyed by everyone on the call, so much so that it was decided that a new season of the challenge, from Rounds 11 to 20, would be made using other children's show sources. The tradition of having the eighth round during a Thomas the Tank Engine season two random children's show sources continued for Round 28.
From Round 8, The Thomas and TUGS man took over editing the collabs but Percy66 c continued to create the thumbnails.
For many people, Thomas the Tank Engine was the only source they enjoyed editing for the challenge. This resulted in a much less diverse amount of people in the challenge and a slight drop in the amount of people attending the challenge. This Season also slowed rounds from being made once a day to once every two days. From Round 18, however, rounds started to be made once a week. 
HourofPoop, who are one of the most popular YouTube Poop makers and a huge inspiration for most people partaking in the challenge, joined for Round 15 and Round 19.
Season 3 (Rounds 21 to 30) saw the return of Thomas the Tank Engine as a source, with Round 28 using two random children's shows as sources like Round 8. The amount of participants in the round grew a lot during this time. The most popular upload of the challenge was uploaded by HourofPoop, who joined for and uploaded Round 30.
Season 4 began after a two week break from Round 30 and, like Season 2, used children's shows as its sources. Unfortunately, the first round of the season, Round 31, did not start off the season very well. There were many interruptions, and lots of disorganization on the call. It was so bad, that the contributors only had time to poop one episode, being the Chucklevision episode, "Let's Get Quizzical." New voice call measurements were taken to avoid something like this from happening again, and luckily, the rest of the rounds in Season 4 worked out just fine. In Round 40, the contributors were aloud to use whatever sources they wanted to, making it the first round to use completely unrelated sources. Sources included, The F Word, Top Gear, Dad's Army, Wallace and Gromit, Transformers, and many more.
Season 5 of the challenge began on the 18th of October 2020, and like Season 3, it was the return of Thomas The Tank Engine as a source, with Round 48 using two random children's shows as sources, and Round 50, which like Round 40, used completely unrelated sources. Unlike Round 40 though, Round 50 had the contributors choose two sources to give to two people, and they in return would receive two sources from two other people. Season 5 is also the final season of the challenge, it is unknown weather a Season 6 was planned or not, but Round 50 ended off the challenge when it was uploaded on the 20th of December 2020.
== How A Round is Created ==
The 20 Minute YTP Challenge takes place every Saturday at 8:30pm BST.
All of the sources for the rounds of that season are already decided, but not the episodes.
A call for the 20 Minute YTP Challenge begins at 8:30pm on TheRealXboxNerd's Discord server (though usually a call has already been taking place) and it takes around ten minutes for everyone participating to join and settle in. Once everyone is ready, The Thomas and TUGS man spins a wheel using a website to randomly determine the season number and then the episode number.
Once the episode is decided, all the participants go to a Watch2Gether room and watch the source simultaneously to develop jokes and ideas to use for their entries. After everyone has finished watching the source, there is around five to ten minutes given to download the sources required for the entries and for everyone to load their editing softwares. The Thomas and TUGS man then counts down and the twenty minutes in which people have to make their entries begins.
When the twenty minutes is up, everybody has a chance to add a watermark to their entries and upload them if need be. Then, everybody shares their entries on the server in alphabetical order of who is on the call. After all the entries are shared, a five minute break is taken before the next episode is selected and the process begins again.
After two episodes of a source have been used, the main part of the challenge is over and at this point, many people leave the call. At this time, images and screenshots from the entries are sent through for the thumbnail, which is created by Percy66 c. The Thomas and TUGS man also downloads all of the entries and compiles them into a compilation which he creates the intro for, edits and sends to whoever is uploading the round the following day. The Wikia is also updated to include all the information about the round that has just been made.
All in all, it takes around two hours for the entries of a round to be made (or one hour per episode).
