I continued to create (at first embarrassing) videos, got more skilled at editing, then went to college at Michigan State University for video and audio production. The invisible bullet struck my friend, and he flipped backward, violently thrashing into the pool below. I still vividly remember the first time I was editing a clip and added that sweet gunshot sound effect coming from my orange water gun. And if you're a good video editor, you can transform almost any piece of raw footage into a masterpiece.īack in 1999, when I was 12 years old, I started video editing, and it's been a passion of mine ever since. It's essential to tap into the enormous power of video content if you're not already doing so. People are making money on YouTube, live streaming content on Twitch, and even creating their own OTT video subscription companies like Netflix. The need for video content is accelerating.
Choosing the best video editing software is the key to either looking like a Hollywood director or a total amateur.
