When I started my journey in video editing, I was a complete beginner I felt lost and directionless so I asked for advice at Adonis Gang,waited a few hours and there were no answers, went sleep, woke up the next day and a successful video editor with 7 years of experience commented on my post, He gave me these tips:
- Edit. Edit. Edit. Edit what you like. Edit for fun. Edit for work. Just Edit.
- Find a mentor. Start forming relationships with people who can edit already and are looking to train people on it. People like that exist all around.
- Follow Hillier Smith on youtube (He edited Logan and Mr Beast content), consume his content, apply. Maybe go for his course.
- Turn youtube into your productivity channel. Consume content that has professional editing on it, create a google docs and register what you liked and how it was done so you have an editing swipe file for inspiration.
- Then start forming your own style by applying everything together and creating something that you like.
- Use Adobe Premiere Pro.
