I've heavily stepped up my editing game and you've turned an activity that used to be extremely daunting to me and turned it into something I look forward to!

Normally when I'm looking something up, there's always that dread of "Here we go. Time to get through this 30min tutorial just to do the 5 second fix to my question". But the way finzar makes the video guides is so much fun that it's actually makes me look forward to the rest of the video. Some people can teach. But this man makes learning fun. finzar is the place to go for video tutorials.

[@Liminality-Png]

This is honestly such an inspiring video. It makes me excited to jump in and start making videos myself. I’ve never felt so much relief watching a video like this. Thanks for the awesome tutorial

If anybody in the future asks where I learned how to edit content, this video is it. Finzar is singlehandedly responsible for every single bit of content I put out from this point going forward.

[@VinceVintage]

Finzar, out of all the things i've bought for my channel....your preset pack is the best. Handsdown. Literally use it in every video i've recommended it to so many other you tubers and they always hit me back in a week saying they loved it too keep up the good work man!

[@BlackMixture]

Dude the editing, storytelling, and everythang about this video is insane af! You make me wanna be a certified gaming KZbinr...

Fin! I literally tell all my friends who I talk about KZbin with that I watch your videos and tell them you’re an editing god. Literally, your videos are down so well done but also informational. Love your channel man so happy I found it!!

[@makaylafritsch3655]

watching this video and many of your previous videos has seriously given me the boost of motivation I needed to make content again. You have so many videos that answered a lot of my questions and I greatly appreciate that you do what you do. I bought and will be using your preset pack to pursue my content creator passion!

Sick video bruz! Thanks for the 2 packs you made as well I copped them both :) I think it’d be cool if you made an editing video for the more intermediate editors who want that extra spice sometime once they’ve gotten the basics right 🤟🏼

[@Sagacyte]

Just wanna say thank you for this video. It is quite informative but also very fun and funny! Love the style! Good stuff to learn!

[@pro_gamer9930]

dude... al I wanted to learn was a couple of editing tips for gaming videos. I came out 13 minutes and 54 seconds later with tears of laughter rolling down my cheeks, the sub button no longer red and the thumbs up button coloured in. brave my man, this video was INCREDIBLE! The amount of time you must have put into this is unreal!

3:08 instead of dragging the end of the clip in + clicking + hitting delete, you can set a hotkey to ripple delete before or after playhead, I use numpad 7 for before & 9 for after (its very cool & only takes 1 wee finger for those 3 actions) Edit: They're called ripple trim previous edit to playhead & ripple trim next edit to playhead

[@whitebeartigtig]

You make this look really easy, I've gotta say. I'm still learning how this whole thing works and I learnt quite a bit, at least when it comes to shortcuts with what I was already doing. I've used multiple different video editing softwares over the years I've been making videos and my favourite by far has gotta be Premiere Pro. it just works so well and it's the easiest to use. If anything, it made editing more enjoyable.

[@slyraccoon]

Do you pay monthly for it? That's the one thing that's turning me off from getting it.

[@whitebeartigtig]

@@slyraccoon unfortunately yes. It's a little pricey but if you have another use for the other software in the subscription it can make sense.

[@TokenTreeTV_]

One year ago, i first got premiere pro wanting to become a gaming youtuber. So i watched you first video on gaming and got an idea. It wasn't great but coming back to this gives me a wave of nostalgia that you are one of the reasons why i know how to edit. Thank you. One day i will make it finzar!

[@EsportCat]

How much do you wanna advertise your presets in this video? finzar: Yes. enjoyed the video as always good job on this lol

[@redeyesgreendragon]

To add to this, if you wanna work with high resolution footage in premiere but your GPU is on the weaker side... then I highly suggest making proxies of all your footage to make EVERYTHING run smoother (with less crashes!). I recommend this even if your footage is not high resolution! Then delete the proxy files after you're all done with your video! Doing this while editing my gaming videos has improved premiere's efficiency tenfold. I can scrub the timeline at lightning speeds. I can work with green screen and multiple layers without my PC's fans going at max speed. Do it!

[@finzar]

Hell yeah brother!

[@sinno2861]

Making proxies.. not sure if I understand that right 😭 I've got a shitty laptop and I can't edit in premier pro cuz of it.
