Im gonna start video editing in 1 day wish me luck boss

[@Kysa1106]

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 :)

[@vinceopra]

Hearing this makes me sooo happy!

[@cashmoney5618]

How much experience did you have , are you self-taught or went to school and how long did it take for you to become proficient ?

[@Kysa1106]

@@cashmoney5618 Hey there! I am completely self taught, I was mostly messing around with gaming montages and silly videos like that at the utter beggining, whic was like 5 years ago by now, and up until November 2023 (The month I became a freelancer) it was all for fun, and just a hobby. But most of the REAL experience in the field I have has been gathered in the last 4 months. So under the assumption you have a little experience from the past, I guess reaching proficiency could take like half a year, give or take a few months depending on how much time you dedicate to it and how passionate you are about making videos. It's a very competitive field, but the whole world needs video editors, especially nowadays in our content based society. So I bet you can find your place in it too if you really put your mind to it.

I am 50 and still growing as a person and a professional. Been in Premiere Pro for two months and feeling pretty good. I feel like I can channel my life experience into video editing. Thank you for the help Vince! Hello from Los Angeles!

Did you just get Premiere or the entire Adobe suite?

Leaving a comment and comeback here once I get my first client. I actually feels stuck and stumbled to this video, this is such a great content and it gave me motivation to start 😌

I've always loved video editing... i used to have many videos with amazing editing that brought me to 1k subscribers until i deleted a majority of them. I left this commant here to return when I find my way towards freelancing...

[@BVart-sy1wr]

Your vids are always informative and helpful. Starting my own video editing and content creation business soon.

[@michaelnorris5205]

I’ve always been interested in this field and about a week ago decided I’m going to just go for it…i’m a little overwhelmed being that I haven’t use a computer other than for basic purposes but I decided to invest in myself and built a PC setup that would allow me to get into this world! All of it finally arrived yesterday and I’m starting this journey from ground zero..so wish me luck! All this to basically say..thank you for this content! I’ve been watching several of your videos and taking in all the info I can! I hope to apply it and start to build this skill set!

[@mihajlokovacevic7685]

So are you still into this ? Are you consistent and do you like it ?

Thank you man! You’re one of the few people if not the only person who help us not to promote your course or whatever. You helped me a-lot fr idk how to thank you keep up the hard work and congrats for your success :)

[@treebobjoe]

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.

[@baruc4258]

You aren't alone. I am going to quit my job in an industry so I can be a freelancer

[@MrEnthusiasm]

Very impressed with your videos. I decided I wanted to learn video editing, watched one of your videos, then another, then signed up for your skool membership. Crushed it. Can't believe it was so smooth and impressed me enough to hardly not even look at anything else and buy. Can't wait to see what's in it!

[@vinceopra]

Thank you so much!

[@khaledvfx3336]

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on KZbin, thank you🙏

[@ProductionsbyKevinB]

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?

[@caltomikianoh8891]

I like this video alot. 5yrs is not that far…

[@migueltelheiro]

Nice video man! Really interesting! I'm actually curious about one thing. You are speaking about getting good paying clients as a video editor, but it also feels like you need to film the content? Or how do you get the content? From the client itself or do you shoot it as well? Or do you collaborate with a videographer?

[@to-kra]

Hi Vince! How/Where did you learn to create good offers?

[@SabiOmar-m3q]

Like this comment so I can keep you updated when I get my first client. By the way, this is the first video I watched on about editing
