Every editor started from 0. 0 equipment, 0 experience, 0 skills. This is my story of how I became resourceful to start video editing, making me a consistent income, even if I started with a sh*tty laptop.
Rules:
- It's not the resources you have, its how resourceful you can be.
- Your network is your networth
- Treat freelancing as a business
- Don't ask to edit for free. Just send a free edit to prospects
Let me know if any of this resonated, would love to hear about your journey.

Hey Adam great video! I have a question, at what point did you feel confident enough in your skills to start reaching out to people?
@adam.mokhtar
@adam.mokhtar 3 месяца назад
Great question :) confidence for me came from repetition I believe. Doing it enough until I’m comfortable to edit videos without it taking hours for a single video. Doing jobs on fiverr also taught me a lot - hence why I charged cheap because it was the cost to learn different styles / trends of video whilst somewhat getting paid. I stuck in it for 1 year and the boost in confidence was seeing 5 star reviews and Fiverr recommending my service!

Really cool story, i find myself to be in a similar place to you, started editing for basically no price to make a portfolio so that i can get clients. I am honestly very interested in how much pay do you average in this business, if you dont mind sharing. I work for youtubers and make long form content with my pay ranging from 200 to 300 per video and honestly im really not sure whether i should be satisfied with this or not. Granted there are many elements to the work/pay ratio, i'd still really love to hear your side on this manner
@adam.mokhtar
@adam.mokhtar 2 месяца назад
@@kaancakrtas4401 great question! I think the way I’d approach is by looking at the per hour pay? Eg. If it takes 3 hours to edit a $300 vid, it’s basically $100/hr. Set a rate you’d be happy with, ie. I’m currently around $50-70/hour but trying to work my way up to $100+/hour either by working more efficiently or raising my prices. Also if that’s the hourly rate you’re happy with, and should you scale, you can hire someone for less than that and still profit. Just my 2 cents!

What's up bro! A couple of days back I was editing a video for a client who was interested in my video editing services. I have a really shitty laptop even worse than yours (literally a dual core i3) and I used proxy videos to edit all of the content. But when it came to exporting, though I used proxy videos I had to export the video in 4k (my client wanted the video in 4k). When I tried exporting the video, my laptop simply crashed every single time I tried to export and now because of that I can't work with my client. So, is there any way that I can get my laptop to export 4k video or is it just not possible and I will have to buy a new laptop itself? Thanks!
@adam.mokhtar
@adam.mokhtar 3 месяца назад
Thanks for commenting bro! Hmm export is either using your CPU (your intel core i3) or graphics card. See your export setting if it’s using your GPU as more often it’s stronger to handle. If you research on google requirements for 4K export there might be a minimum graphics card need, maybe check your own and if it’s compatible

Hi Adam ,I really appreciate your journey .I use capcut pc to edit short form videos .Can I start freelancing using this software? I'm planning to work on my LinkedIn profile from scratch and feed some content on it for attracting potential clients . Is this something that will help me get clients over time ?Even I don't have any experience working with agencies or doing any internships though. Thanks 😊

Adam i watched this whole video and found it relatable ( the shitty laptop part). How can i edit videos part time with college and earn enough to buy a good laptop the problem is clients want animations and a lot of elements in the videos and the shitty laptop can't just process all this. This one thing is stopping my progress a lot . I know about proxies but do you think that only Premiere pro and no animations done from scratch can get me enough clients
@adam.mokhtar
@adam.mokhtar 3 месяца назад
Thank you for watching the whole vid! Appreciate it😊 should be a couple ways to try be resourceful here! If you keep taking the animations/elements path, you could try use a better PC from your local library / net cafe? Another way might be less convenient but maybe export every time a certain element is done and then edit on top? eg. Cut/trim/color/music > export > add graphics > export > add animations > export > add captions.. just so you don’t overwhelm the editing app with so much elements in one go which is what makes it struggle. Also try using your phone, I know some people add animations using CapCut on the iPhone as well! If not for animations - maybe you could try a different offer. Eg. Only offer podcast editing? Not usually a lot of animations here just captions and maybe B-rolls which was 90% of my work on fiverr :) Let me know what you think!

@adam.mokhtar 3 месяца назад
@@AbdulRehman-wx2hx I'd probably try niche down? For example you can promote podcast editing work in real estate only? Or vice-versa. Multiple ways to try maybe even do outreach to real estate companies and make sure your videos are excellent quality there
