I've made movies using IMovie, using go pro. It takes Hours to upload it to KZbin. I mean 12 hrs! Without editing, taking the file directly from the go pro card it takes less than 15 mins to load. The pitfall, cant edit and splice clips. HELP

a moment ? this guy has shared a whole semesters worth of film editing tips, functions, and alternatives. Simply- the young man is good. I intend to watch this video repeatedly ... cuz every time I watched it ..I found there was always something my mind just didn't catch perfectly. that's just me. IF you guys have a quick learner brain ? well bless your little hearts. ♥️
