[@bot5am]

You know this brother is a real one when he says he started with Vegas Pro. I had started with After Effects CS4, a scanty Core 2 Duo machine, a 15 Kbps internet connection and lord Andrew Kramer's tuts. There has never been a better time to pick up video editing and go pro with it than now. The market has acquired critical mass and is at an inflection point shooting straight up. So few great editors with competence and integrity, out there. If you are one, you'll crush it.

Yes absolutely.... Even I am also skilling up with the colour correction and colour grading in Premier Pro. It is a bit challenging because even after LUTs synchronisation we have to manually edit the CC and that too depends on one's understanding of colour sense and art.

Stop the hatred bro you cant say that without knowing his perspective, what if he dont want to create controversy bc you know he is opposing our whole government soo giving identity at the end can cause problem to the editor maybe it was a reason??

Bhai agar wo dictator h to tum log b kam nai h jaha paise zada offer hue waha turant bhag gye tbi to usne credits hata die, itne sal se kam kr rahe ho uske sath ofcourse ekdm se bhag jaoge to kaha se manage krega wo. Also he has been paying you guys a really good amount for the type of work you do there are a lot of highly skilled editors who choose to stick with a client who is good in nature. On the other hand i understand your point you work for money and maybe he wasn't increasing enough money you wanted but ye credits wali bat to kafi funny lgi muje because aisa to hai ni ki tumne Picasso ki painting banadi ho normal videos hi h lol.

[@PaulGuthikonda]

Couldn't agree more. Look at the amount of content dhruv is producing now. You could've practically doubled your income if you stuck to him. So many channels, courses, Shorts etc. Am I Really alone who feels this way?

[@aimgodhere4256]

Lol nigga it was literally a bad amount and rhi baat freelance ki toh jha jyada paisa milta h udhr hi jaane ka hota h hum editors ko aur 1000 per minute is nothing I saw editor who literally charges 800$ for per video/shorts for foreign client

[@Anonymou66]

Okay, I assume you aren't a video editor or you don't know the value of it. That's why you are saying this. Credits aren’t just about recognition; they’re a crucial part of an editor’s portfolio. A good client values and respects their team. If the environment becomes toxic or if the client acts out in retaliation (like removing credits), it’s a red flag. Just as clients can choose to stop working with an editor for various reasons, editors also have the right to make decisions that are best for their careers.

[@oldtimer666]

@@PaulGuthikonda He is just being crybaby now that's all to gain more clients by using his name. Yaha india mien yahi dikkt hai public drama emotions ko value deti h practicality koi nahi dekhta.

[@sagarsingh06]

Bro it was a great watch, I really liked the way you conveyed your journey. But I don't think you should be expecting the clients you're working with to mention your name in their videos, it's their choice at the end of the day and they're paying you for just editing their videos, It a different scenerio in movies but that's how it works. So if you're not getting any clients...that's your headache you should be reaching out to clients showcasing your work that you've worked for big creators like dhruv, and we don't ask for credit in other creative works like graphic designing and motion graphics...do we??? hope you understand that, other than that it was a nice video.

[@siddharthgogalia4438]

You made me realise that even I started doing a job to learn and develop my skills but now I’ve stuck in this rat race and I don’t know how do I escape this rat race also the journey you’ve started I have the same journey as well started with Motorola phone and kinemaster app and now working on iMac and desktops and have leant too much about video editing and social media CTR also I’ve gained a lot more knowledge about human behaviour through all social medias. Just figuring out how do I become a full time content creator with savings of 2 years runway with no job so that I can do full time content creation and freelancing.
