I started my channel a few years ago using imovie but then after a few videos I started to use Davinci Resolve and I just love it. It takes time to learn how to use Resove but it's just awesome. Ah I'l ve just published a new video....edited and color graded in Resolve.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

I just started my channel filming on an iPhone and editing on my phone with Splice and can’t believe that in almost a month we are up to 153k views and about to hit 4k subscribers 😂. I need a better editing solution for sure 😳

[@ThinkMediaTV]

@@DanFrullani For sure! I agree! Resolve is awesome! One of our team members Billy Rybka has a channel all about davinci resolve :)

[@thegodnasr]

I record my videos on my iPhone 13 Mini and I use CapCut to edit. Easy for me just starting out but I plan to learn Final Cut Pro soon!

[@onedaymoreaboard]

@@thegodnasr I was thinking of Final Cut Pro too

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

Even though making money is a great thing to have, starting a KZbin channel should be about finding your *passion* and turning it into videos. That way, you'll be much more inclined to be consistent since you genuinely enjoy what you do! 👌🏻

[@MathSimplifiedforu]

Well said !!

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

@@MathSimplifiedforu how is your channel going?

[@MathSimplifiedforu]

@@ThreeTwentyTech Growing slowly... Worth watching 🙂

[@MX-CO]

I want to make Videos about something I'm passionate about as a way to meet others that are into it also and I want to start a business in this one particular space, but I am not Technical at all. And I don't enjoy the editing process at all its not coming easy to me but I'm seeing it as a necessary evil

[@MX-CO]

For example he says to buy am external hard drive, I bought one but have no clue how to use it. And for me the hardest part has been just moving video around to where I need them to be

[@TheExtraordinaryLifeofEmon]

EDITING is literally the best part, creating something from nothing and see it all come together generates a great feeling.

editing the videos is the best part. making the script or perfecting a strategy in a video game is challenging, but then you put the recordings into the editer and perfect the video. it just feels so good.

[@namastayhere8179]

I already like this guy 1 minute in he gets right to the point and starts by getting organized!!!

[@JamesCAsphalt8]

This is a great video for beginners (which I am). It is really organized and your pace is not too fast to follow like some of the starter videos I have watched. Moreover, the program you recommend starting with is pretty simple. Some people recommend programs that are so complex, it takes weeks to really get effective. Great energy in the video too! As a professional presenter, I know how important energy is and your energy is great!

Finally someone explains an and b roll. I'm new to video editing. Like i've never made a video yet. I have a lot of a roll from a camping trip. I've downloaded some software (wish i would have seen this sooner so I could try fantasia), purchased a music source, and now i'm trying to learn the steps. I've seen several but this video is the best i've seen. I appreciate how you explain everything. Clear and concise. Many thanks. I have subscribed.

[@luongvuong7982]
