Resolve literally unlocks another world for cinematic things..... everything about color grade can be customised with it . Also it's really good for virtual effects or basics edits as well..🙃(And this thing is totally free)

[@fledits]

@@dwarakeshkotipatruni6578 I recommend learning the basics on a Free simple editor like hitfilm. After you know the basics which is almost the same in every video editor, you can go give Resolve a try. I say this because Davinchi Resolve can be very overwhelming when you don’t know anything about video editing.

Video editing is the art of weaving stories with pixels, shaping emotions with frames, and giving voice to the unseen.

[@pilotbsinthesky3443]

Great advice about finding a niche, just like starting a KZbin channel it can’t be for everyone. We all know who we get along with and who we click with, those are going to be our best clients. We’ll hear 99 no’s before we get a yes, just have to keep trying.

[@MrMagicharry]

You sir got a new subscriber! I’ve been doing video editing here and there and just yesterday put out an add for friends on fb, to get some experience to work on anything really and for free. Got first 4 projects, going to work on them this weekend! Being FT in sales I can totally agree with you on all the outreach and business points. That’s my next stage after finishing these 4 projects for free. In life selling is everything, we are all salesmen, aren’t we?

[@PropertyBySM]

What kind of salesmen are you bro

[@hotlineoperator]

You are an excellent business coach. Important things to deal with are customer acquisition and service packaging.

Thanks alot for these tips brother. I am almost full-time editing on Premiere Pro and After Effects(making all sorts of montages and rotoscopes), and even making logos and thumbnails on photoshop but I dont quite know how to approach clients, even though I know I can edit anything my client will require. The tips for outreach really helped me, hopefully I can get some clients in the future

[@allenmartindale]

Please, please, please don't offer unlimited revisions, refunds or to work for free. I can't stress this enough. Not only will it put you in a terrible position, it makes it harder for other editors to negotiate fair pay and working conditions. This is how creators and businesses take advantage of creatives.

Bro to become video editor is it compulsory to learn premiere pro only or you can edit with other softwares like capcut or something? If only premiere pro then where to learn it fully

[@ShotByThomasGA]

@@flickhunter8900 you can technically use anything you want, but higher end clients may have an NLE preference and want access to the project files throughout the editing process.
