Five days ago i decided to get my sister into the content world, and I told her to learn how to make thumbnails.
Five days later this is what she can do: (she never touched photoshop before)
Video editors

There's been a wave of people contacting 20-30 video editors offering them work,
they collect a free trial from them, and even ask for multiple revisions on the free trial itself.
then they end up with

Video EDITORS
One of the best things you can do for your video editing career is to have at least two backup video editors
Why?
Sometimes you can get sick or have a sudden circumstance that will disallow you from providing your client their video within the agreed on deadline
An actual tool that video editors will 100% find helpful is Cobalt
download youtube videos in a single click, mp4 or mp3, zero advertisements, zero delays
It can also download shorts, tiktoks, instagram reels, and twitter videos. very dope.
Video editors, and everyone else

I was in your shoes, and i found the solution to this and put it down in a short no bs video.

A few months ago I landed a GOLDEN client, high pay easy work and seemed like a really good opportunity.
Finished two weeks worth of content and got paid, then the client started ghosting me and saying he will shoot new content asap, so I just waited.

Hey video editors
When Outreaching / applying for a video editing job

Please STOP sending walls of text, again, no one cares who you are or how old are you or how many years of experience you have.
Please STOP sending "hey" "how are

I can do videos like this for
Video editors, start charging upfront for your video editing services.
If you cannot provide the video as requested you can always refund the client, and if you try to scam they can dispute the payment through their bank
But if you provide the video and they don't pay you, you
VIDEO EDITORS
This is my workflow for editing long form videos:
• Transcribe the video/get the script
• Read the script one-two times
• write my own editing script / plan the edit
• Download the resources needed (sfx, stock, music, images, etc)
•Layer one: Rough Cut, and
As a video editor
I usually have clients pay me after I deliver the final video.
This got me into a small issue with a client, It's been a week since I provided them payment details and they haven't paid me yet, and I ended up being stuck asking for an update on the payment
Client sends me a dm Inquiring about my video editing service
I reply, we speak, we get on a call
I pitch my offer which includes a sample video as a trial
He accepts, I get to work on the trial
I deliver it, he says its good but needs revisions
I do roughly 4 revisions
My current biggest struggle as a video editor
Asides from time management
Is that 100% of the people who reach out to me are new youtubers with new channels who don't seem competent enough and don't seem to have what it takes to go viral
So by working with them I end up:
I never took upfront payments as a video editor because I didn't have enough confidence that I would be able to fulfill the client's request
This week, I got an inbound who asked me to create four VSLs for his crypto project, and paid me upfront.
The four videos were delivered
Okay but video editing and school together? how can you even do this?
When I'm home from university I'm absolutely cooked (tired) and just a few hours In it's time for me to go workout then once i'm done with workout and shower and eating it's time for me to go to sleep
Video editors please do not do this!
avoid sending a google drive as a portfolio, no one has time to go through your tens of files
Instead
Send them a video that looks the closest to what they are looking for
"looking for documentary style editor"
Send them a documentary
I don't think being a regular video editor and just editing videos for client makes any money at all
It ends being somewhat of a 9-5.
And you aren't completely free,
Especially when you have to deliver a video that takes four days to make, in two days.
I'm thinking of saving
Dude woke up and decided it would be a good idea to remove all of his videos and completely cut off the passive income he was going to get from them for god knows how long
Lifehack for video editors:
When working with a youtuber for the first time, invite them to sign up for the free one month trial of epidemic sounds and link his channel to the account.
That way you will be able to source good music and sfx for your videos with your new client
During most of my time on twitter I've done a major mistake again and again which hurt my Image on the platform badly.
I'm a critic by nature, I love criticizing everything and everyone. but I'm not entirely a piece of critisizm.
When I started using twitter I was very active:
video editors are done giving away project files and presets
Now they are giving away (most likely stolen/unlicensed) sound effects.
What would you even need 60gb of sfx for?
20-25 sound effects (keyboard typing, whoosh, mouse click, shutter, film, bass drop) are all you need
Most video editors constantly alternate between two phases
Phase A:
Little to no work, inconsistent clients, ghosted dms
Phase B:
More work than they can take on, contemplating starting an agency, making posts on twitter HIRING video editors
What phase are you currently In?
One of the downsides of being a video editor that literally no one talks about is
Overstimulation
You consume too much content and music daily and you have to do it because it's part of the work
And end up in a state of chaos inside your mind where you can't focus/concentrate
You don't need to hop into after effects just to create a number counter
You can now do it in premiere pro using Premiere Composer plugin (paid)
They keep on adding more and more helpful stuff this is the best plugin ever
Ever wondered how to create that cool looking yellow time bar that youtubers use on their videos to indicate the timeframe for sponsored segments on their videos? I'll show you the fastest way to do it.
I realized I got more mature when my goals went from:
-Making $10k/month
-Getting that Mercedes
-Becoming a famous content creator
To:
-Improving my skills and learning
-Achieving consistency with editing and creating content
-Leveling up my marketing and client communication

As a video editors, you get less hours to sleep than the average person

Hey fellow video editors
Please do not contact me to ask me for video editing work
I'm not running a massive video agency and full of clients i'm just another video editor trying to make it.
And please do not dm me to ask me lazy questions that are answered on youtube already.
Tbh
Every video editor that posts Iman Gadzhi style edits
Gets contacted by youtubers offering him a job as a video editor for up to $700 per video
So I'm going to do the same, expect me to post Iman Gadzhi even though I've been hating on it a lot 😂
Before i started to actually work as a video editor
I used to watch work from other video editors, and motion graphics artist, and I was mindblown by their work
But at the same time looking at the level of their editing made me think that i will never be able to land a video
