Just want to say thank you all for the support. Each one of you are amazing and I'll be sure to make more videos! I'm struggling to find great videos ideas so if anyone has any, leave a comment and I can probably make it!
The most useful will be series on various editing sins like the effects one you spotted on your client's videos. Do's and don'ts with examples, e.g. which sound libraries to use or don't use and why. Just be mindful that not everyone is retention editing :) so do it with both hype and basic editors in mind. And try to keep it tool agnostic so that the tips apply regardless of whether it's premiere or davinci or (dear lord) camtasia
this is so inspirational, what an awesome journey! I want to get into editing full time. I currently am learning a lot with my own channel, but hopefully eventually branch out. Thanks for the video, mate
Dude, the storytelling is on point! I went a different route. I shoot and edit myself. And sometimes I would charge people good money and then not deliver the videos on time, since I don’t know how to properly edit🤣 My very first video was commercial and I sold it for $1200 and it took me 4 month to deliver 😂 The learning curve was unpredictable, and I was feeling the clients frustration all the time
7:32 although it is hilarious when a RU-vidr who pretty much never makes this mistake, at one point accidentally left in 3 seconds of complete silence. It made the video so much more better lmao
as a beginner editor myself, i really can tell that you have great storytelling, hich right now i still lack. Maybe i should learn more about sound design etc to improve my work.
Interesting video, wonderful editing 🙃 Really cool, you've come really really far. I'm interested in stuff like this and just starting youtube, this was helpful and enjoyable.
So great! Excellent storytelling. I cringed hard when you said you spent 2 years editing in Ae 😳🥸 Very inspiring. Was feeling kinda blah about my path this week so this was just the pick-me-up I needed.
The fact that this recommended video got my attention because of the storytelling and pacing is the proof that you've come a long way to be the editor you are now. You're awesome! I'm a video editor and this is inspiring af.
DUDE! You got really insane editing and storytelling skills. I really thought you had at least 50k subscribers and 100k views but no you're an underrated channel, please remember me when your famous ;).
That fiverr segment...any first experience of trying to find online work ever, positively surprised you didn't get straight up scammed without payment tho(if you can't tell, I worked from home as well). Also, waiting for some youtubers' version of this video "10 minutes of editing in 5 years"
Practically was scammed for making 25 dollars for a video that took me a month lol. I did get scammed around my third year though! Working with an already established youtuber! Decided to bail right when i finished a video and sent it to him! Be careful out there!
@@trickyprolix679 Shoulda put a comment on that video saying "Still waiting for my payment bro." Bet the commentators would lose their minds on the guy. xD
I did use Premiere and AE for some years, also tried Resolve (but it's too slow). Capcut is actually good for most jobs, I am now paying the pro version, works pretty nice
you are a perfect representation of a true good editor, this video is beyond clicking buttons in a complicated software- the editing is really entertaining and funny and it really brings a creative aspect to editing
Bro this is seriously some good content. I will complete my high school this year and wanted to get into editing and man RU-vid gave me a good recommendation. Keep up the good work and hope you will be big one day. Cheers!
Amazing video! Please make more. I learned so much. I have been learning and editing for 2 years. Recently made this YT channel about movies and got to 17k subs. Unfortunately, most of the growth (Views & subs) is from videos with copyright claims. So unable to monetize. I been in a depression slump for few weeks and after watching your video, it has sparked the creativity again. Thank You!
Hey, thanks for the video. I've been editing my own videos, primarily out of necessity, but I've been considering finding an editor at some point. Do you have any tips for knowing when is a good time to make the switch? Also, what platform or group would you recommend from your experience? I don't really know where editors go for work. I figured an editor might be the best person to ask, especially with your experience of being underpaid, and eventually finding a healthy relationship with channels. Right now, I'm still weighing the financial risk of having to pay someone (my time is unfortunately free :P ), but at some point, it might make sense to take the plunge, and I want to do so in a way that is beneficial for all parties. I'm a game development channel, so RU-vid is more of a collection point than a destination. Still, I notice that almost half of my time gets spent on the videos, so that seems like a logical first step to make when moving beyond the one-man-show.
Do you have tips on finding editors? Or at least how to work with existing ones? Every editor I've worked with has been kinda a disappointment. Either they can't make the videos in my style correctly, they're too slow, or they charge WAAY outside my budget. I know I need more help to expedite my video process but its so hard for me to bring on people when I know I can do a better job myself, faster, and for free.
You and your editor need to have good communication skills! Unless your editor has made content EXACTLY like yours before, there is gonna be a brief period where you both need to adapt to each others workflow and expectations. Find someone who always want to learn and be better, editors are investments, we get better over time. Shoot me an email if you want me to help you with process!
Too good for 1 month. I didn’t even know how to edit for 4 years. I still usually don’t. If I did, I use scratch (programming) and cap cut 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Bro, you need to create more videos! You are awesome. I see that you are asking for great videos ideas, well here is one: Why, o why, talented YT editors work for other creators and never start their own YT channel?
Please make a video on how to get good clients for video editing. It would be very helpful for many video editors like me who are not able to find work.
This video is amazing, it encourages me as a motion graphics designer to keep grinding, the first client is the hardest and i recommend GO ALL IN, if you gotta break your back to secure your client, do it, the first piece of your (real) portfolio is the most important one. Then you can relax of course lol, don't go that hard for simpler projects.
This video is amazing! Ive had a passion for editing since i was 11 so my dream has always been to work as a full time editor, but once i graduated i didnt know where to start. Thankfully i ended up making an Upwork profile right away (still havent gotten a job yet but I will!) but your tip about troubleshooting is absolute genius. You're absolutely right! I hope i manage to land a job with big youtubers one day!
I graduated highschool 13 years ago and always wanted to be a video editor. Unfortunately during that time, video editing is not a feasible job so I have to pursue other career. I still edits for fun but was never serious about it. Fastforward to today, you can have a solid job as an editor due to the rapid success of social media. I always think i was born in the wrong era. But hey, i’ll still try to pursue it!
"I have a question: as I'm learning to edit, I'm interested in where you find music for videos that isn't copyrighted, as well as sound effects, mimes and the like. Do you know of any websites or similar resources? If you can help, I'd be grateful. Have a nice day!
Dude you are UNDERATED Remember me when you blow up. This content is content of a 100k subscriber yt channel. Just How DO YOU HAVE ONLY 409 SUBS! WHAT! I hope you make it to the top! You deserve it bro!👏
Good to see another self made success. Most people think we sit down one day and can just edit like game theory. You gotta have the drive and willingness to basically work non stop, always learn and make no money for years. You also have to be willing to put yourself in front of people you may not feel qualified for and accept jobs you may not be ready for and rise to the challenge. People don’t realize you gotta live on canned soup for like 4 years before you start making any money 😂
i just started editing and i switched from premiere pro to after effects because i was told that after effects is better for quality videos. should i go back to premiere pro or should i continue editing with after effects(right now i am editing a breaking bad edit)
I went to your channel to watch another video after this one and saw the system of a down cover by Plankton, not what I was expecting 😂. Btw this was a great video and I really enjoyed it!
im like wow he has 2m subs and im like damn thats what i thought also i have some problems with premier pro casue there is just too much stuff and i use capcut rn but yeah if you have any tips
*cough cough. I didn’t say this but there is a website called idk I’m just gonna guess the name rutracker.org (safest place to pirate software) where I guessss you could possible get it for free…. I know people who start like that(not me) and eventually pay for it once they do it professionally 🙂(def not me). This isn’t advice either…
Ik you propably wont read it but Ill ask anyway. What do you think about starting with resolve? I am from 3rd word country if it comes to pay and monthly adobe subscription is absolutly impossible to finance. I started editing in Davinci, made some edits, videos get kinda invested in their editing subprogram called fusion, but I am super scared that all of this will be for nothing because Ill will hit ceiling and this skill will not be useful for anyone willing to pay. As a professional, what's your opinion on this?
Just started committing to editing and stuff so thought I would come back and rewatch this :), Also if you see this @Tricky Prolix should I use DaVinci or Premier Pro?
This was a great video explaining what goes into to this line of work. I feel like it is a bit misleading to have images of timelines full of clips. It’s important to let people know that having a timeline that is filled with clips images etc, doesn’t always mean it’ll provide a better product. Editing isn’t easy and takes a lot of mental work so I strongly believe that this line of work should always be fairly compensated and understand the value an editor brings to a project. Overall excellent video shedding light into the work editing field.
I'm on my 10th year of video editing (had different channels in the past years that didnt do well) but im not on the same level as putting lots of sound design and all that stuff on my Star Wars i like to be consistent with having that much sound work on my timeline. But thats just me..
your video was great mate thanks i really want get projects but i can't. i reached out to youtubers and mostly they didn't respond exept one of them that scammed me😂 i want to start working even if clients want dumb stupid stuff i just need to start i am at 2 years of working with premier pro where do you recommend getting clients ?
