    Main points mentioned in this video:
    1. Investing in high-quality techs like laptops, mice, monitors, and speakers.
    2. Stay organized. Create different folders for each editing part of your video.
    3. Use SSD drivers.
    4. Plug-ins, presets and shortcuts are your best friends.

    I think the best tip you gave was to edit out as much as you can to tell the story.

    I had a dinosaur computer from the late 90’s when I started doing videos for TH-cam. It took me 2 hours to do one video and I had nothing but freeze ups and everything in between!

    Great video. The MX Master 3 mouse is amazing. A huge time ever. And I completely agree on using a Mac M1 and SSD. My old Mac kept crashing until I started using an SSD. You’re so right. Never use a hard drive!
    I’d add two more things. The first is another piece of equipment: the Elgato Stream Deck XL. This is a beast for editing. You can load it up with so many shortcuts (and not just for editing). This saves me hours.
    The second is a piece of software called Recut. It allows you to make an incredibly fast first cut. Really easy to use. Highly recommended.

    Love the speaker idea & I really need that mouse. A good mouse is a game changer but I don’t have one dedicated to my MacBook. Cathrin Manning taught abt organizing files on her channel & that’s been helpful. But that hard drive was nice but it’s expensive! I started with the LaCie hard drive & it’s so much faster. Plus, Cathrin Manning only edits on her LaCie. Please do a video on how to edit on the hard drive bc I need that in my life.

    Only thing I wouldn't recommend is the M1 MacBook Air. Cause it doesn't have any fans like the Pros do so you'll be beating it up and it'll warm up and won't have anything to cool it down! The M1 Air could take it, but the pro's will have more spec options and it'll you edit longer without burning your laptop alive haha. Great video!!!

    You're still living in the dark ages using a keyboard for editing. Get a gaming keypad like a Razer Orbweaver/Tatrarus V2, or a logitech G13, and program your hotkeys/macros into the gamepad. Also, there are way better mice with even more buttons for macro programming. Logitech G502 comes to mind. At the very least though, invest in a programmable gamepad, for a nice productivity boost.

    man, stop recomending apple gear, you can start with half that money with a decent PC. And if you're willing to drop that money you can buy a proper editing PC. 8Gb of ram runs dry quite fast. Also you end up buying lots of adapters and disks when you can jsut put them all together inside a CPU and make them run smoothly. The mouse thing is super good, I like working with a trackball. And you can shave some dollars also at the begining with some nice headphones. I dont see the point on pairing a mobile laptop with desktop speakers.
