Oh my god, this was probably the best tutorial ive ever watched in my life. I love how you explained everything so perfectly! I love this channel! You just earned yourself another sub!

Mr. Teacher's Tech, what can i say

You are the best video tutor i've ever seen in my whole life.
Hands off to you

[alanbenatar]

I am going through it slowly (haven't finish watching) and so far it is very easy to follow and helpful. Thanks!

[tonylinnane]

Without doubt the best instructional video I have ever watched on YouTube. Clear, concise and to the point...not a wasted second. If your job isn't presenting videos...It should be. Well done on an amazing video. Ignore the dislikes...they are just your dyslexic fans.

[shuttlewerks]

This man is a master teacher. He should be proud. Well done!

[pammalik]

You have the aptitude for teaching. Does not let you go to sleep. Keeps you in the learning mode...

[WheresMyMap]

I was totally confused as to which video editor to start using to build my YouTube channel, and you gave me clarity. Thank you.

[lindajones]

I am an older (50 yrs old) newbie and so far this has been the most informative but easiest to follow video on the program I have seen yet. Great job. But I still took notes too because my memory isn't the greatest. Lol.

[topisee]

I love all your tutorials. You are the best instructor I have found anywhere on the internet. Honestly, cannot thank you enough, but thank you so very much!

[mbrodd]

Thank you SO MUCH - I watched this video and was able to put together an entire worship service video for the church where I work, complete with title slides, fades, audio....SO HELPFUL!!

[migulshyamalen]

OH MY GOD!!! I swear I have never seen a better tutorial EVER in my life before and I am truly thankful.

[donaldklopper]

This tutorial rocks. Pleasing voice, you don't get too technical and you don't skim over the important stuff too quickly. Great pace! You covered quite a bit in 29 minutes. Thank you. Quick comment: every so often you refer to a section on the screen that's not visible at the time (due to your screen tool's zoom setting), but it doesn't detract from the experience, since it's easy enough to infer (or just to scrub the YouTube video to a view where that section is visible).

The best tutorial I think I'll ever find on following a software.

[barrybegley]

OMG: You Sir have saved me so much time learning the OpenShot software. I had spent a great deal of time trying to get my screen back to where it first started. It was totally messed up. You showed me one simple technique that just "Made My Day". Thank You so much. The YouTube community is and has been such an awesome place to learn well, almost anything!. Thanks again, I highly recommend your channel. Barry Howard Begley.

[supergamergamingman]

even tho this video is 3 years olds still works perfectly! u deserve a sub

[pittmanjt]

Absolutely stellar! I'm leery of open sores software which can be great, but can also drive you nuts. I'm happy to be impressed by OneShot which feels really solid. Am more impressed with this awesomely well planned, well paced walkthru. Inside of two hours (OK, I hit pause/rewind a lot) I went from clueless about video editing to basic functional competence and am comfortable that I can take it from here. You have the rare combination of the skills and the gift to communicate them...thanks!

[sirjaylor]

I am a school teacher here in the Philippines and this video is a great help in preparing my lessons for the New normal setting. Thank you so much.

[hypedawgthedj.]

Peep this real quick, I had never edited videos in my life before and I HAD BEEN SO STRESSED OUT because a school project was due and I had to edit regardless. This tutorial was the hack. God bless you even more.

[richardworth]

Finally a useful video and one which tells you pretty early on how to edit out sections, which is probably the most important basic requirement

[rouletteplace]

You deserve a comment, thanks a lot. It looks as exactly what I need. Simple to use and with everything I may need.
