Hey video editors!
Is sound MIXING your least favourite part of editing?
Me too…
Here’s a guide for your audio levels:
Dialogue: -6db to -15db
Music: -18db to -20db
Sound effects: -14db to -20db

Does this mean we’ll start seeing more story driven pieces and less Iman gadzhi style edits shoved in your

If you use premiere pro you NEED to hear this!
How annoying is it when you paste a clip but it goes on the WRONG track?!
Well, do this:
1. Go to keyboard shortcuts.
2. Type paste.
3. Delete the CTRL + V from “paste to same track”.
4. Make CTRL + V “paste to target

My adobe subscription is almost over.

Renew it or move over to DaVinci.

This may be my highest earning week to date ($1k+)
But it’s coming with a cost…

It’s always possible.

Learnt some new things and had a lot of fun today!

Video editors!
Establish your workflow process and services early on with clients.
If you charge for a round of amends (changes), let them know. If you include that in your price, let them know.
Cover all bases before you take the client on…
That way they know what they’re

Here are some of my favourite sound effects, that no one talks about…
1. Stomp - a variation of a hit.
2. Low Braam - a short deep rumble.
3. Breath whoosh - feels like a more personable woosh and gives a little more depth to your edit.
4. Page turn -

To my fellow editors…
have you been scammed?
I’ve seen so many posts recently of editors not getting paid and being scammed.
This can be avoided so easily!
All you have to do is add a WATERMARK.
Don’t give clients projects without a watermark until you’ve been paid!

You aren’t efficient enough if you can’t…

Make sure you set time aside to better yourself or enjoy life. Whether that’s:

- Learning something new
Prevent yourself from burning

A quick message to video editors!
If you create short videos for social media, you NEED to consider using these two assets:
1. Safe zone overlay -
So your subtitles and graphics don’t get covered.
2. Eye level mark -
This is to make sure when zooming in and out, your eye

Here’s a message for new video editors..
Do you reach out to potential clients and not get replies?
Don’t worry, we’ve all been there!
Just keep pushing, keep reaching out…
Keep posting your work, keep looking for clients.
It’s simply the law of average, for every 100

Hey video editors!
I’m intrigued…
Where do you guys find most of your clients?
- Sending Emails?
- Third parties like Upwork?
- Social media?
I find the majority of mine through X.
What about you guys? Let’s start a conversation to help out new editors!

Premiere pro users you NEED to hear this!
Here’s how to AUTOMATICALLY match the audio levels from different sound clips.

Video editors...
Not every single video is going to bang the way you think it will.
and that's fine.
There are so many factors that go into making a video do well. Don't be disheartened, keep getting better and being consistent.
Compare the ones that do well and don't do

Video editors…
If you can’t land clients through outreach…
It’s probably because of one of two things:
-You’re saying WAY too much.
Or
-You’re not selling yourself AT ALL.
It’s simple, don’t give them your whole life story but don’t just put “video editor here”.

Hey video editors!
Do you ever wonder how you should export your videos for social media?
Here’s what I use:
1080 x 1920
Frame rate: 25fps
☑️Render at Maximum depth
☑️Use maximum render quality
Bitrate encoding: CBR
Target bitrate[Mbps]: 20
Burn captions into video

Hey Premiere pro users!
Did you know…
If you’re ever trying to remove a green screen with ultra key
But…
It’s unevenly lit,
Then you can hold command and click
It will then take a sample size of the green in the surrounding area, not just the specific pixel of green.

One thing I’ve learned recently from video editing…
DON’T get overly obsessed with a singular animation/clip.
If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.
You might have spent hours on this 10 second clip, but…
If it ain’t it, it ain’t it.
Don’t force it!

Hey premiere pro users!
How annoying is it when your playhead jumps from the right side of the screen to the left?
To make it smooth…
Go to “premiere pro” at the top bar…
Click “settings”
Then “timeline”
Then in timeline mouse scrolling: “smooth scroll”.
And bosh.

Quick question for video editors.
What channels or creators do you use for creative inspiration when editing?
Here’s some of mine:
Documentary style -
• Magnatesmedia
• Dodford
• Moon
All of these have their own unique style which are super creative and engaging.

If you’re a video editor…
I’m sure you love keyboard shortcuts.
My personal favourite would have to be:
COMMAND + K - Cut tool shortcut
If you use shift at the same time it will cut every layer at the play head. Not just the selected layer.
What’s your favourite Shortcut?
