1. I didn't know it until now.

(IDoes that mean I didn't know before, but I see now? )
Yes, that's exactly what it means :)
2.I don't know it until now.
(I (Does that mean I didn't know before, and I still don't know? )
"I don't know it until now" doesn't make sense. Perhaps "I have never known it"?
"Are you any good at baking?" "No, I have never known how to do it" - I'm bad at baking and I've always been bad at baking. Suggests I'm thinking of specific times in the past when I've been bad at baking.

I could interpret your sentence a couple different ways, this one seems closest to what you wrote? You're not asking the person if they are looking forward to your video; you *might* put out a video, and you're asking if the person would look forward to it.
Kind of a weird sentence!
I changed to "how it affects my skin", but it could also be "explaining its effect on my skin".
There is nobody jokking on this playground except for me.
Probably? It's another strange one :)

Thank you, then why weird sentence? Yes, it does says that someone makes a video, and it's about the experience of applying this production on someone's face.
What did you mean: if the person would look forward to it.<< what is "it" here? I guess you wanna say to me that I am not asking if people want to see I making new videos based on some topic in the future, I am standing in front of and asking if people "like" the video. And before I went to stand in front of them asked, I had finished making the video. I just am taking a demo data and to paly it on people, then to ask what their opinions on it are. Right?

I... think so? If you've already made the video, or you've already decided that you *will* make the video - if the video is definite, a decided fact, not hypothetical - then it seems more likely that you'd say "Are you looking forward to seeing it". If you're only considering making the video, and you're asking what the person's attitude would be *if* you did decide to make it, then "Would you look forward to seeing it" is correct.
"if the person would look forward to it" - "it" means "the video", "watching the video".
So: you've made the video, and the person hasn't seen it yet -> "Are you looking forward to seeing it?"
You haven't made the video, but you definitely will. -> "Are you looking forward to seeing it?"
You haven't made the video, and you might not make it, but you're interested in what the person would think *if you did make it* -> "Would you look forward to seeing it?"
I'm not sure exactly why it's weird, but I'd probably say "Would you be interested in a video about" or "Would you like to see a video about", something like that.
As for the other, yeah, grammatically it's fine. You're all on the playground, you are telling jokes and kidding around, everyone else is very serious. There is nobody joking on the playground except you. It's just a strange situation to imagine :)

Oh~I see! I should say there is nobody 'left' on the playground jogging except for me (or there is nobody left on the playground except for me jogging? )
and oops! I know why you say it's oddy, because It's jogging!! NOT JOKING!! I HATE AUTOCORRECT!
So is it correct to write as "There is nobody jogging on the playground except for me" ?
everybody not being on the playground , I am the only one being here and jogging ↓
There is nobody left on the playground except for me jogging.
everybody being on the playground doing something fun without jogging, I am the only jogging↓
There is nobody jogging on the playground except for me.
are my thought and grammar correct ?

Yes, "There is nobody jogging on the playground except for me" is a fully correct sentence and a much less unusual one! We got there in the end! And yeah your grammar is right for the other one too. All good.
