Hi Joshua, I noticed you use a tablet instead of a mouse. Have you been editing like that for a long time? Are there any major drawbacks to using a pen? Do you use it just for editing or for everything? I'm experiencing some wrist and hand pain, and I'm currently trying a trackball mouse, but I'm not enjoying it very much. Thanks for your great videos!
Watch the stuff you want to edit. Take notes - what shots are selected? What's the pace of the edit? In scenes, how does the editor support the emotion of the scene through shot selection? In terms of technical skills, honestly just pick an NLE and become very familiar with it. I'd recommend Da Vinci Resolve - it's free and becoming industry-standard (except in large production houses that have invested hard into Media Composer, this is more traditional film and tv than the branded and commercial content these guys mostly make). Blackmagic Design have excellent free training for Da Vinci Resolve on their website. Lastly, just edit as much as you possibly can.
nice sharing!
Your voice or your microphone is 🔥 I Love the audio

Love your videos. I would like to be a good editor, what is the must for me to study?
