This is how I use 3D graphics in my edits
This is the type of project I enjoy making the most. I had a lot of fun editing this sample for

Dear YT creator...
You spend hours and hours editing your videos
With no results...
You'll say I know shit
But does your editing focus on providing value?
Your viewers need to be:
• engaged
• not distracted
• amazed by the value
Can you do it all and still upload
Today was the first time in my life I needed a video editor
Now I see how it feels like to be the one hiring
Weird...
This is what most of the outreach looks like lol
This is my portfolio website, where you can find all information about my service.
I decided to improve it a little to make it more clear for new clients.
Feel free to take a look
Hey, creator! This is killing your videos ❗️
No matter if you make commentaries, documentaries, or gaming content
Your video is always made of different scenes
Every scene has its own vibe, that needs to be well portrayed
And the best tool to that, that many creators
I want to share with you one of the first videos I've edited
and what I would change in it today
If you're just starting, this post could help you avoid my mistakes!
thread 🧵
Hey
@daankieft
I've took one of your old videos and edited it in the style you aim for.
I'd be happy to collaborate with you on next projects.
My DMs are always open! Let me know what you think.
I think we should start educating people on the prices of video editing services
Not only creators, who expect high results for a low-money
But also beginner editors, who underpay themselves
The second one makes me sad the most
Make some time and watch
The Truman Show (1998)
Truman Burbank finds out he's the main character of a reality show broadcast 24/7
One of the most wonderful stories in the history of film, starring Jim Carrey. Gives you a lot to think about,
plus it looks super beautiful.
Are you a good student?
I must say I’ve never been.
Actually I always been a pretty terrible one
Today was a great day for me, because I finally graduated high school
I learned a lot and I’ll probably miss my school
Everything will change now. Hopefully for better!
I used to make a BIG mistake as a beginner editor
I delivered videos that were good, but simply didn't fit the channel
I didn't analyze creator's style and I used my own
How to avoid this?
❗️NOTE: Always do it before working with new client
A thread 🧵
Creator! Want to operate the viewer's emotions?
This is the main key (especially in documentaries)
It’s… SILENCE
When music is an amazing tool to extract emotions, silence is also very necessary
It helps you to:
• Build an intimacy with a viewer (very important if you want
Today I passed 100 followers
A crazy number for me.
This is how all my followers would look like in one room. That's pretty a crowd, right?
Thank you everyone who follows my content 😌😌
People on this platform are wonderful and I'm glad I met you!
It's funny because
I have 0 knowledge about football, especially about clubs
But I still finished the project just by doing my own research
I didn't even have a script
There's actually no niche that I couldn't do lol
Next step: stock market niche haha
This was a mistake that made me lose my potential client as a beginner. And I was so close...
When I was fresh in the video editing market I noticed an offer from a creator
Simple video, nothing special. Easy job. I thought there was nothing to do better.
I made him a sample
@GgVideoEditing
Minimalistic style is not a problem for me. I completely understand what you need. Here's an example:
If you liked it, I've sent you a DM in which I described my service in more detailed
@byNerfYT
Hey Nerf, I know you don't want to waste your time, so I've prepared you a similar-style thumbnail in TWO VERSIONS.
Which one do you prefer?
If you liked it, let's move to DMs. I've sent you a message!
Those people offering you tons of clients if you pay them aren’t 90% worth your time
What I didn’t realise as a beginner was that I need only 2 clients to be satisfied (both financially and with my job)
I don’t see any point in that, except outsourcing them
@NotNotAbu2
And what is this irony for?
Your prices offered before were truly extremely low and everyone can agree.
You didn't even receive hate at first. People simply told you your offer was too low.
But you started defending yourself with "People don't understand the offer is for
@creator_vidrio
Pro Tip on how to look cool:
Shrink your timeline to the maximum
add markers in random spots
BOOM!
Now it looks like it was something super complicated haha
Time for an update
200 followers only a month after
A lot changed, the crowd is getting bigger and bigger
Thank you for your engagement in my posts, people 😎😎
My re-edit of a
@beincrypto
video called "Coffeezilla: Good or Bad for Crypto?"
My goal was to make it look more professional, and adequate to the look of the service using better animations and transitions. Also to make it more engaging for the viewer than the original one.

What brings magic to my editing?
Custom composed music
I don't see many editors that use their own music in videos. Too bad, cause this gives you a lot of opportunities
I can
- adjust the tempo
- use my own effects,
- manage the mood
- make a smooth pause
It's super simple
Let's bring up the era of high-quality stories in videos!
The latest trends showed us that not only you don't need fast-paced editing for your videos, but also that the story can tell itself with simple visuals
Change your priorities!
This post is total evidence of it
This past year i’ve slowed down our videos, focused on story telling, let scenes breathe, yelled less, more personality, longer videos, etc. And our views have skyrocketed!
My fellow YouTubers lets get rid of the ultra fast paced/overstim era of content. It doesn’t even work 💀
This week I've made 12 videos with my client (including 2 long forms)
It was really busy, but overall I was very happy with the results
A week that brought a lot of new to my life :>>
Always do it to look 100x more professional
Clients want to be sure everything went well
They need it proven on some document
That's why you should always send them an invoice
• Project title and editing status
• Your contact info
• Total cost
• Payment method
Nothing
Cold outreach is constant optimizing and optimizing, till you eventually get to the point where most of the emails are actually answered
The trial and error method is the only way here
Your YouTube virality depends on four essentials:
1. Compelling idea
2. Attention-grabbing thumbnail
3. Intriguing title
4. Flawless retention editing strategy.
Don't let subpar content kill your spark.
Had a little break writing here
I spent some time with my family and friends d-.-b
Breaks are fine. Don't let other people push you into grinding 24/7 unless you wanna end up in FOMO
Latest sample edit made for
@itsurboyhass
Football is another niche I'd never expect to work in,
but I was very satisfied and had a lot of fun making the project😁
I didn't even know clubs have their own training centers
What do you think?
There's just something in the timelines, that you can't stop looking at them 🥰
Especially if it's your work and you feel so proud of it
No wonder why so many editors post their timelines lol
@thetrueZ2
Talent is just someone’s predisposition to learn faster and do something easier than others.
But it doesn’t mean that someone who doesn’t have it can’t become way better than the one who does
You don’t need talent to be the best
You know what can make you stand out as an editor?
Attention to detail.
Taking care of every inch of the video is what makes it special.
•Make background special
•Make titles special
•Even make sfx special
This is what clients appreciate the most.
Never go for the easiest
@VladSpeech
The editor can help you arrange the story and tell it visually
But if the story is trash, even beautiful visual aspects won't make it better.
I live a "boring" life....
- I breath oxygen
- I eat food
- I do the dishes
- I take methamphetamine combined with LSD dosed intravenously with a little help of a morphine
But that's the "boring" life I enjoy 🙂
@vladresults
The best editing software is the one you
- feel the most comfortable with
- have already installed on your PC
There's no better or worse software. There's a better or worse skill
How to be unhappy as an editor/creator?
• Make money your only motivation
• Only edit what's popular and the most clickable style
• Compare yourself to other editors
• Set unreal goals
• Never plan your dreams
• Buy new gear instead of doing the editing
• Be impatient
Never thought I'd be giving advice to other video editors
But every time I do that and receive a thankful message it feels awesome haha
Dear editors - feel free to send a message if you wanna chat
Low-paying creator:
"I require 24-hour turnaround time, advanced motion graphics, and unlimited revisions. Budget is $20 per 10 minutes video"
High-paying creator:
"Yeah, just do the edit, I've sent the payment"
@MauricioMozo5
A $5 for this style:
Bro even gave me a deadline for that, even though it was a free sample. The deadline was 1 hour...
That was the moment I left writing DMs on Discord lmao
I'm always really excited when applying 3D renders to my edits.
It gives so much creative freedom and unlocks many new ways to tell the story
Can't wait to show the final results!

To be honest, those real friends won't just forget about you when you limit engaging with them.
Also if you're a good friend you shouldn't forget about your friends even diving into your dreams (if they're good people for you ofc)
Be careful watching tutorials as a Video Editor
When you're editing the video and you need a little help, you launch YouTube and type "Iman Gadzhi style tutorial" or whatever else.
This is a trap many editors fall into!
• You're basically blocking your creativity, trying to
People interpret the sentence "Money can't buy happiness" in the wrong way
It's not like it can't buy you cool stuff that will make you happy,
or help you become happy by being financially stable
It's like once you get rich you take less and less care of little things in your

Pro Tip:
Put yourself in the client's shoes and exactly understand his problem
then show him how you can save his day with your help.
But remember to keep it about THEM, not about YOU
@oscarantana
Of course I can be healthy without work out
Just keep a healthy diet and have some physical activity during the day (like long walk, running, sport)
Who said it has to be lifting weights?
