Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You showed the minor details that goes into editing that pro editors would normally overlook due to their experience. But for a beginner it makes all the difference. I also like how it was straight to the point. It seems to me you focused mostly on what we'd need to get started. Thanks again!!

My only tip. Done is better than perfect. I've been lurking for years on starting videos. I always begin editing, but never finish as I try to make each section as perfect as possible. Sucks. Done is better than perfect!

[mareenz]

my tip is make a few practice videos, figure out where everything is! you'll be much faster and better by just practicing editing

I've been delaying the making of my craft vids because I was afraid of the learning curve for the editing software. This video has been a revelation! Thanks so much, Justin! I've got the confidence to start my filming and begin to make money from my ideas.

Very precise and professional explanation. Appreciate that there is no random music soundtrack which most YouTube tutorials make you listen to while you're trying to learn something.

Just spent an entire day trying various video editors & about gave up when I came across this. You're a life saver mate, thanks for an excellent video.

[Jonster]

Thank you I sucked at editing and needed something free and I found the perfect program because of you. Thanks so much!

Thank you for this! I downloaded VSDC and it's amazing how many things you can do for free... in the end, the software and gear are not as important as thinking through your story to have a start, middle and end. And to have everything scripted out beforehand so you stick to your structure and not ramble. Now that I finally got my hands dirty to start playing around just with what I have and free resources, I find that the most important ingredient is me -- to stay on script, focused and organized!!

Thanks for the great help and another excellent tutorial. The tip that I use the most, I learned from you! Always edit from right to left. Make the last clip as good as you can and work your way to the beginning of the video!

I am planning to put together all my short videos about my son in his first year. Had no idea where to start. You have created the best content for begineers and is straight to subject, very time honoring and not last your tone of voice is very calming. 👏Thank you for helping out people who may not have the chance to attend courses. May your giving bring lost of good things in return for you. 🙏
