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.

[@petsaibaguio]

I've been tired in corporate work for a while now and wanted a change in career, never have looked freelancing as easy as I'm seeing from successful people, I wanted to start for a while now, and would like to be a video editor with 0 skills at all. This video inspires me to start this journey, I hope I can be what I'm seeing in the future.

[@SalvadorLosAngeles]

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!

[@vinceopra]

You're very welcome!

[@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!

[@Heyitsneon]

gave me a lot of motivation! thanks Vince

[@vinceopra]

You got this!

[@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?

[@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?

[@LaviiiiishPrince]

Great video Vince. Where did you get the icons? You made them?

[@TaeBuildsIt]

Motivational ngl thanks for sharing im about to step up my game 💯
