I've actually been following your guides when I started freelancing as an editor around 4 months back and today I have a sustainable income that allows me to live pretty comfortably and I still have a massive ammount of free time for myself. This field is such a godsent, and I'm really glad you keep making videos about it :)

It doesn't matter which video I'm watching; I'll always skip and get bored easily. Your way of creating this video interested me invested in watching it without skipping and finished it. Thanks for a very informative video

So, even though you were into gaming etc, when you were younger, what editing software did you start with and what are you using today? And who taught you how to edit using that software? Did you take classes to learn it or, you just figured it out all on your own?

Dude I'm seriously struggling to break through in the industry. I started learning After Effects in version 6.5!! That was even before CS3. I even went to a broadcasting school after high school and learned how to edit with Avid Media Composer. After Effects is definitely my strong point, but I can edit video/audio. Working in a factory is definitely not what I'm supposed to be doing in life.

I'm just getting into video editing to slow walk my career change. I have a stable, solid job, but I want more in life. I'm saving up & planning to move to Bali, Indonesia after I marry my gf since she is from there. I'm going to practice & work on refining my skills while I'm working my full-time & saving to set myself up to hit the ground running when my big life change comes.

Is there is a community of editors that I could join and ask questions that would be amazing and greatly appreciated.

Thank you for videos like these, for people like me. They are truly invaluable.
