    I have been editing on my i3 7th gen with 4GBs of Ram. Sometimes, I break down thinking how difficult it is to edit on this hardware. But I determined. I am learning and looking for clients. I hope things will get better over time. Wish me luck, folks!

      Hey man, Just wanna encourage you to keep pushing, I started with Intel celeron pc 4gb ram, then later moved up i5 3rd gen 8gb ram... then later got ssd... it's a process but you gotta keep pushing... now I use an i9 13th gen 64gb ram and a 4090...obviously it didn't come in one day and I didn't even think it was possible... you're doing great man just keep pushing

    Speaking of consuming content intentionally, I think another thing you can do is look at what you watch regularly and see if you find an effect, transition, or editing style you haven't done before!
    It's a good way to get new ideas and keep your mind fresh 👍

    Honestly, this video helped me in how to properly reach out to potential clients. I've been editing for almost 4 years now (since 14), but I've always wondered how the heck I'll be able to find clients. I was always in that mentality of: "What's the point, they probably wont see it..". I see that's a taboo mentality to have in a profession where marketing yourself correctly is key to finding work. People say that I'm still very young for this (18), but I believe this is the best time to start.

    • @sampdbiz
      @sampdbiz  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey man, very glad to hear this!
      18 is absolutely a great time to start, I started at around 18-19 ish. But yeah the mindset of "they probably won't see it" isn't great, as it's the opposite mindset that allows you to put in the effort to ACTUALLY get seen by these big creators. I've contacted almost every creator I've ever watched in some way or another, it's truly an artform.
      Glad you enjoyed the vid! :)

    By following your course, around how much can you earn as a video editor before you must create an agency? Does it top out at around $3K/month? There is only so much time in a day. But I read posts on reddit from editors who earn $1k a day. But perhaps they are working for a studio or something.

    • @sampdbiz
      @sampdbiz  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It depends how well you present/market yourself really. There are TH-camrs that pay thousands for videos, and there's ones that pay hundreds.
      Ultimately the better at business you are, the more you'll get paid. That's why I thought it was so incredibly important to have 2/3rds of the course business related, because no one else will show you the ins and outs of the model.
      To answer your question, it doesn't top out at $3k but there obviously would be a ceiling to it before you have to explore scaling.

    Hi Sam, great video! What MacBook do you use to edit on? And does it handle complex loads such as adding layers of effects and not cause any slow playback? Just curious as I was looking into getting a MacBook to edit myself. :)

    • @sampdbiz
      @sampdbiz  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mine is a 2021 Macbook Pro 16" - I went for the large screen so I can see as much of my editing timeline as possible. It's handled everything I've thrown at it perfectly so far, I've traveled a lot with it, had tons of tabs and applications open at the same time. Heavy AE, Premiere renderings gone smoothly etc. I would recommend!
      The only time the playback has been affected was whilst editing 100GB+ of podcast footage. 3 or so 4K cameras playing simultaneously. It just lowered the FPS of the playback slightly but I guess if you had time, you could just render the footage overnight before editing.

      Turn the “negative” of having less experience into a positive: You can learn your editing around their style, and entirely work around their schedule on a smaller budget.

    HI Sam, I have a quick question. I have a decent laptop that I use to run my editing software (filmora right now) and a 3D rendering program (Unreal 5). I have wanted to get Premiere Pro for a long time as I wanted to have the option of using After Effects. But I have heard that Premiere is extremely expensive compared to DaVinci Resolve, so I just wanted to hear your opinion on this as a Premiere Pro user. Thanks!

    • @sampdbiz
      @sampdbiz  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s not too expensive, maybe $20/month ish but there are tons of deals you can get. I believe Davinci Resolve is free but I can’t say I’ve ever used it personally.

    • @sampdbiz
      @sampdbiz  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      But I love Premiere Pro. I run it on my mac and it runs well so can’t complain. It’s easy to get to grips with too.

    • @BarelyGamer
      @BarelyGamer ปีที่แล้ว +3

      there are a lot of videos on YT on why some big creators are switching to DaVinci, check those out, they explain everything pretty well. I myself also made that switch half a year ago after working in Premiere for 2-3 years. I enjoy it more than Premiere to be honest. And it has a free version which has like 85% of features of the full version.

    Sadly, at the end of the day is still a service where you sell your time for money.
    You either ask enourmous prices for a video or you can productize your service. But still selling your time, so low leverage in long plan.
