i’m an editor on fiverr and i’ve met these people that looked like the first guy you messaged: trying to get the money and not putting effort in. my number one goal when i started was to be the opposite of that- i spend hours on my work and want to build connections with my clients… this was a really interesting video to watch from my point of view ed, thank you! it’s inspired me to go even further!

[@FilmBooth]

Glad you liked it Audrey, its not easy being an editor for clients, managing expectations is always tough, I just thought this was proof that there is plenty of talent out there :)

When I was hiring editors weekly like you I'd get 100s of replies from people who didn't even read my requirements, I would towards the end of my post point out only applicants who use the subject line "purple monkey dishwasher" would be considered - the first requirement is to hire someone who takes the time to read exactly what I want, this reduced my workflow by 80%

[@speerish]

Brilliant!

[@hottakes9242]

Wow that's brilliant advice.

[@VincentForDesign]

I’m taking note right now! Thanks for saving my time!

[@debby_wise]

Oh so you are purple monkey dishwasher. I see. I always think what kind of weird client comes up with these things. Some even come up with Banana pizza.

[@trudet1199]

Wow! The results were so shocking! This is what I initially thought the prices were going to be: - 1st video | $65 - 2nd video | $25 - 3rd video | $145 I really enjoyed this video! It was super entertaining to watch and I hope you do more of these in the future :)

[@trudet1199]

@CreativeUnoriginals I agree

[@EmmaCruises]

The storytelling in these videos is 10/10 faaaaaabulous! I'm hooked and you've taught me a lot. 😀💕

As an editor, I feel embarrassed for the 145$ one, because he should've known that the best optimized way to put substitles in shorts is either in the middle or in the upper side. Though the 25$ one really did a good job except for the subtitles

[@TopFlightFamily]

One tip I have for folks looking to hire an editor for a specific platform like KZbin or TikTok is to have one of your screening questions be something like “List 3 KZbin creators your watch regularly and tell me what you like about their content.” This lets you quickly separate those who actually are consumers of content on the platform and understand the style, vs those who just have random editing experience cutting TV commercials for their local car dealership. The hardest thing I’ve found about hiring an editor is finding someone who understands the sensibility of the platform. Editing for KZbin or TikTok is it’s own specific genre almost.

[@tillycomedy2194]

this is an AMAZING piece of advice!!

[@CreativeTies_]

Thank you for that bit of advice. That makes a lot of sense

[@realtake9760]

Thanks for the advise.

[@rueroos]

Thank you! This is a very good advice. I will definitely be asking this when I hire an editor for my projects.

[@zoltanbereczki8067]

Bullshit. Knowing Tiktok is overmistified, not a big deal. As an editor I tell you, there is nothing in it that would be hard to mimic. And no, I never check who is the creator of a video, do you think anyone ever does? Actually any kid can put a Tiktok video together, and actually almost all of those "creators" are 15y old kids.

[@lilafromyoutube]

"reconstructed for your pleasure" 😂 well thank you! that chat was hilarious. I really liked the 3rd edit most although the glitches were a bit disruptive/much imo! And there was no b-roll when you said "which you can see right here". That being said though - 3 has A LOT of potential! and great value for money if you ask me :)

[@TheIlyaVP]

Hiring people on UpWork (or any platform) is an art in itself. I usually add a random qualifier in the middle of the job description (EX: Start your application with your favorite color in all caps to show you've read this.) If they don't - it's an automatic ignore. Sometimes I add a 2nd filter and request a short 60 second Loom recording of them talking about their experience, the creators they follow, etc. Usually the 1st step is enough, but when hiring for full-time positions the second step saves a ton of headache.

[@cescimes]

that's interesting! from the point of view of a freelancer it seems like a bit of gimmick. i stumble upon those kinds of filters and honestly chuckle to myself, but i definitely understand where it's coming from. i do try to emphasize in my replies that I've seen them

[@TylerF]

That's Ed! He accidentally wastes thousands of dollars on an editing company and makes a video to make up for it! 🔥

[@mcmaschio]

Your fast approaching 200k … love every single video .. you not only teach from what u say but also through the amazing video production quality … ❤️💯🔥

[@PetConnectionInternational]

Loved this! It was great seeing the different approaches all the editors took to the same content, and seeing you pick out the problem areas was really helpful! Definitely going to be trying to implement some of those editing tips in my future videos ☺️

[@robonut0357]

I absolutely loved this video. The competition aspect of the video made it entertaining but I also learned a ton from the editing aspect. Absolutely amazing video

Great video! I am amazed how you can make an engaging story literally from anything! You opened my eyes on storytelling and I am just starting to master this difficult skill. Scripted my next video for the first time, very excited to film! Thank you for all you do Eddie! Best of luck!

[@cescimes]

actively starting out as an editor and I'm loving all these insights! the last one definitely turned out to be the most attention grabbing and visually interesting, but the sfx on those transitions felt too loud for me

[@sheriezhu]

The editing critique is incredibly fun to watch. It is only the second time that I look into editing my videos seriously. This video already offered lots of directions on questions and doubts I had!

[@IDICBeer]

Totally loving your content Ed, it's really interesting, engageing and informative, plus, it's nothing like any other how to grow Channels I watch. Well done and keep it up

[@Arc.]

It’s very interesting how easy it is to miss out on these tiny details when creating content, but it’s so easy to see when watching it! The $65 editor is definitely very experienced and looks like their knowledge of pricing reflects that

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

Ed your videos are so damn compelling. I’m struggling to think of one I haven’t watched every second of. Doing my best to learn from what you’re doing here. 👍🏻

[@arbaz_ism]

Man I have been watching videoa of a lots of creators, but your attention to details and retentions is meticulous. Everything is top-notch.

[@JheriJohnson]

Seeing your emotions and reaction to the last edit…stood out the most to me! Creating that emotional feeling for the viewer makes prefect sense to me now!

[@thespeakingpen]

I am a top rated plus video editor on Upwork and I find this video really helpful as it shows me some areas of improvements. No end to learning. Love this!

[@mhelel]

Genius. You found a super good way, to explain something without explaining it. This was so good. I learned about the AI and KZbin Shorts. 2 things in one video. Awesome work

[@AirCrashEncoded]

[@RichMerry]

I love these sort of videos. It really shows you how important it is to read the brief

[@ErisAzemi-hv2bi]

Hey Ed! What got my attention was the analyze that you did to the shorts. As a young video editor I see that I need to improve my skills on self-analyze but have no idea where to start. Soo, I would love to see videos about how to analyze the video, or probably a course from you about video editing. Thank You!

[@rob_cancilla]

You are hands down my new favorite channel. I have been ina rabbit hole for hours. Thank you!

[@ReconstructingEmily]

This was a fun one! I like your critiques of the shorts. It pointed out some of the things I didn't catch while watching. The only thing I didn't really care for on the $65 short was the overuse of the glitch transition, but for $65 it was heaps better than the $145 one.

[@oldunclemick]

Yep, I thought my phone was crashing.

[@Airo_ty]

[@StruggleWithGame]

Another very well done video with good pacing. Just shared it with a few of my "shorts" creator friends.

[@aguywatchingyoutube]

The concept is super fun and I would have enjoyed just a basic explanation of the information, but your editing and storytelling is above and beyond and makes me love it

[@heimbad]

I was surprised that you would have nothing to change on the 3rd video -- it felt super repetitive (most of it was a bit of you, then a bit of screenshot, repeated like 5-10 times in a row)! But I do get that the editor nailed other aspects that the other editors had failed with, and it was very informative that you pointed that out; it brought out details I would've missed otherwise... :) Anyway! Great video as always!! :)

[@JonPerkinsGolf]

Great way of showcasing the topic. Loved it.

Thanks for great video as always, it actually gave me a pretty good confidence boost to see such high quality videos get 0-2 views on your - new - channels - guess this is how it always starts (I read way too much into those results after I started myself) :) Also, as usually, really high quality video/remarks - you are really good at this - much to learn for starting ytubers from you, thanks!

Damn I respect the story telling!!! Grace! your editing was top notch (even better than those three duds!)

[@HelloPowell]

The problem with this plattform is framed in a little example: Would you look for a dentist on such a plattform? No, because you know YOU have to make the effort to find a good dentist. People offering services on those sites and messaging YOU kinda shows that nobody else wants to work with them.

[@martinlilly]

[@funnyGTAvideos]

Excellent work, you give some really great tips for digital media creators 👏 I liked your final choice but the only thing I didn’t like was the interference type effect. Was used too much and kinda jarring. Another thing, it was great that the key part of text was shown, but the changing of angle each time wasn’t ideal for me. Although I do see keeping a flat look would be slightly boring. Clearly Yt doesn’t help a first short, how often should one post shorts to see traction ? 🙏 ty

[@KOMHuntTV]

I’ve found my highly edited tiktoks & shorts channel vids don’t do as well as my random, lower effort ones (11m views on TikTok in last 7 days) but the 3rd was ace… would have lowered the glitch sound effect for headphone wearers and 8:10 don’t forget the right side of the screen will have TikTok assets covering some of the the added subtitles and important info👏👍 Are you keeping the channels live as will be fun to see if one explodes in the future.

What helped for me: A qualifying question or a very specific demand within the description the applicant has to fulfill works great. Another, not really a nice thing to do, but in fact safes a ton of time is excluding applications from certain countries where the most scammers live. Its sad, but it helps.

I think it would of been more effective to upload on Tiktok instead to receive fast results, feedback and statistics of the 3 edited clips. Curious how well each of them would of done and how the comments would responded to each
