The fastest way to get better as a video editor: Challenge yourself to create an edit you've seen online, without the tutorials. This works because you realise you're on your own now, and therefore it makes your brain work harder. (Tutorials are great by the way, its just fun

Video Editors: Do you really know the audience you're editing for? A daily vlogger isn't going to want flashy 'retention style' edits. Vice versa, a Kids Entertainment YouTuber isn't going to want minimalistic corporate editing. Excellent editing = always knowing your audience

A realistic daily routine for video editors to improve their skills: - 1-4 hours practicing editing (1 hour is better than nothing) - 2-3 hours high-value outreach (I like to do sample videos) - 30 minutes studying (watch tutorials, take courses, and read books about editing)

Video editors and content creators, if you’re ever feeling overwhelmed while editing, just take a step back for 5-10 minutes. Go for a walk, take some deep breaths, get a snack. Just do anything other than editing for a short break. I find this dramatically resets any stress.

Three ways to stand out as a video editor: 1. Actually listen to your client’s needs and overdeliver on them 2. Proof watch your work before you send it off (mistakes make you look amateur) 3. Communicate and conduct yourself online professionally.

Editing software isn’t as simple as ‘this software is garbage’ and ‘this software is the best’. They are just tools. Find what tool works for you, but never be afraid to try other tools. Little secret: They all have their pros, and they all have their cons.

Whatever it is you're trying to improve, just focus on getting 1% better ever single day. This goal is so small that its easy to achieve, but due to compound interest it will grow exponentially over months and years. It's exactly what I've done in my video editing career.

Something I love about current voice over commercials is that so many of them strive for authenticity. This is brilliant because it gives more people a voice. We as the audience get to hear a wider range of people and each and every voice is completely unique.
