Might be one of the most important videos that us new youtubers should watch. Thank you very much!

Steve, you are my number one go-to channel to learn editing and shooting, and I have learnt a ton over the past year, and will probably keep learning for years to come. So big THANK YOU! Keep 'em coming :)

One of my pet peeves that people do is to add a paragraph of text to a video and not allow enough time for people to read it.

Thank you so much Steve. I started my YouTube channel in February, and thus far I have created 35 videos. Even though I have produced quite a bit so far, I am still very much the beginner/amateur. Your tutorials have been so valuable in my learning curve. You reinforce that it is all about fundamentals first before breaking rules and so on. Watching this video, my biggest mistake is color grading. I have definitely gone haywire in a few of my videos, so that is something I must improve upon. I'm looking forward to more learning!

I love these videos! As a creator just starting out, I can see where I've been making mistakes and how I can take my videos to the next level. Thanks. I'm excited to apply what I've learned here.

10 VIDEO EDITING MISTAKES EVERY EDITOR SHOULD KNOW

1. Overusing transitions
2. Poor organisation
3. Flow state editing

6. Poor music choice
7. Not using sound effects
8. Poor colour grading
9. Cheap looking graphics
10. Ignoring the 180º rule

This is great advice. It is really going to help me thank you. I used the slow mo editing tool too much in one video and in another I put too many quick cut scenes together. Comments were, way too much slow mo and, 2 minutes of my life wasted. Yeah I’m still learning.
