This is definitely a great video for someone that just got into editing, and for someone that has been doing this for +10 years too, I found it so refreshing. Lesson 6 hits hard.
Gavin, I saw your video on TH-cam. It popped up a lot in the last two days. At first, I didn’t want to watch it. But now, I think I will. I've been editing videos for three years. I try hard to make my videos smooth. When I watched your video, I was amazed. It was superb! Your tips helped me understand how to make my videos smoother. Thank you for making this video! I also subscribed to your channel.
"Perfect is the enemy of good" -Voltaire. Avoiding that chase of perfection, and accepting when you are good, helps with the burnout too (and lots of breaks). Good video!
Such wholesome advise...well shared!! Your point about getting things done instead of having them perfected is critical. Your skills compound upon every little project video you do, instead of being stuck on that '1 perfect video'.
I love how beautifully this video is edited!!! Mannn!! Its damnn good… subscribing for sure Super clean and simple I know the motion graphics aren’t considered simple but they are put very beautifully not in a flashy way which is the best part!
Wow, Gavin Herman, I can really relate to the things you explain (the good ones). Like taking steps and drawing inspiration from other video editors. Alongside good things, everyone also has areas to improve-when it comes to video editing, of course. I discovered my talent for editing during the COVID-19 crisis when we all had to stay inside during lockdown. That’s when I started in 2020. To this day, I’m still doing video editing. I work for a friend’s company because he doesn’t have the time, but I do! What I do makes me feel good-it allows me to be creative and show my talent to my friend, for example, to see what he thinks about posting it for the company. I always show the work I’m currently working on, so adjustments can be made if needed. I do all this editing without any help and dove into the world of video editing by myself. I’ve already had an amazing four-year journey, and I hope there are many more years to come. Greetings from the Netherlands!
That sounds like quite the journey! I always love hearing the stories of people like you who learned it completely on their own out of passion. Keep it up :)
Yes! It improves your design taste and gives you inspiration. I would also add that it can be useful to try to recreate certain editing styles that you like.
@@Lightefied I'm glad you felt that way :) If you're just beginning with commissions you're already in a great place, many never reach the point where they are able to charge for their work
Yesterday I edited my first ever video. Took me the whole night and afternoon. I find it so fulfilling. What I didn't do was a thumbnail. As I just wanted to get the video out. Will do the thumbnail tomorrow. I can't wait to learn more about editing 😊
I love it! Focus on the thumbnail too. Not only is it important on YT / other platforms, but the design skills you gain from making better thumbnails will translate to your video design! Excited for you and your journey :)
@GavinHerman Thank you for answering my comment. Didn't expect it. My friends told me that the video is cool,which I find amazing as I put alot of time into it. Never thought a 4 min video would take so long to edit. Good thing that I planned it out 2 days prior and did the first clips edited yesterday. This way I wasn't overwhelmed. Also thank you for the comment. Forgot how Important a thumbnail is. I focused more onto the first 5 secs and completely neglected it. It seems like I am saying the same stuff over again it's just that I am so happy that u helped me and told me the reason how a thumbnail can enchance your overall video quality. 🥰
I've been editing for 10 years as well. But my old channels sucked and didn't do well. So I went through 5 different channels. I just make Star wars edits. And before that stopmotion animation so I didn't need a powerful computer for that. I learned editing myself for tribute type edits and trailer edits but did watch tutorials for title cards and short edits. I always had low end-mid end laptops, and I just recently got a high end computer for editing. Took 10 years but it was worth the patience and hard work. I finally got to 1k subscribers after many years. With different channels.
@@GavinHerman indeed it does! It goes to show you should never give up on your TH-cam dream. I may have edited for 10 years but I am still learning I'm not up there with the massive editors yet. But maybe someday.
Loved your video. And you get my Sub Too😊😊. Just wanted ask you about how to overcame burnouts and mental fatigue(other than exercises) and bring new ideas to the table
Thanks for the kind words, glad it helped :) To be completely honest, burnout is just part of any creative endeavor. To recharge, I sometimes take a complete day to focus on working on other things I've been wanting to work on. This can be doing the laundry, taking a walk, building a DIY lighting softbox (I did this the other day). Basically, just do something else and don't think about editing. Even switching up your scenery if you use a laptop to edit can bring a new spark.
Fantastic video mate - just landed my first high ticket youtube client so hoping that mentorship can be a fast track to the analytics game. But yeah - very basic video but no fluff and well done.
Bro, I’m learning video editing from your TH-cam videos, but sometimes I feel nervous. I keep wondering when I’ll be able to master animations and use effects like you. Is this the right path for me? There are so many thoughts running through my mind. How can I deal with this situation? Should I continue learning from TH-cam or join an online course?
It's natural to feel nervous when you're first getting started learning something. I felt the exact same way when I started. The best way I found to overcome this is to work on your own projects for fun. No pressure, just learning. Don't be afraid to watch more TH-cam videos to learn new things you want to know how to do, or even try an online course if you wan to be held more accountable (maybe I should make a course 🤔). Point is: try not to compare yourself to others. Focus on improving your own projects and rewarding yourself when you make something you wouldn't have been able to before!
This is definitely a great video for someone that just got into editing, and for someone that has been doing this for +10 years too, I found it so refreshing. Lesson 6 hits hard.
Glad you enjoyed! Unfortunately, everyone must understand lesson 6 to keep progressing... Your mograph skills are 🔥 btw :)

never knew Christopher Nolan taught video editing
I will never unsee this

Well said!

Overthinking is truly a blessing and a curse...
Incredible video for someone like me who is starting out with the decision to make a career in this field. Thanks for practical tips.
I love how beautifully this video is edited!!! Mannn!! Its damnn good… subscribing for sure

@@GavinHerman ,
Thankyou. You keep it up as well❤️
learning by watching videos is probably the most efficient way to quickly learn editing
Yes! It improves your design taste and gives you inspiration. I would also add that it can be useful to try to recreate certain editing styles that you like.
@@GavinHerman nah its just crazy how genuine this video is from the pov of an editor who just completed his first few commission's
@@Lightefied I'm glad you felt that way :) If you're just beginning with commissions you're already in a great place, many never reach the point where they are able to charge for their work
remarkable presentation. Extremely impressive and informative

Hey, man! Love your videos, I am watching them one by one. I joined your discord server as well.
Glad to have you on board!
Your text editing is amazing. can you make a tutorial video on it?
Perhaps one day! It's nothing special, trust me ;)

Let's go! Everyone's journey is different, just gotta embrace the process✊ A high end system really opens up a lot of opportunities as well.

Dude early subs always! Not too early but loved it!
Damn brother you are more than underrated 🔥🔥
Watching this for free is a blessing
🙏

With the animations like the stack of skills you did did you make that in blender or a 3d software
I’ll tell you, but before I do… take a guess, what software would you say?
Fantastic video mate - just landed my first high ticket youtube client so hoping that mentorship can be a fast track to the analytics game. But yeah - very basic video but no fluff and well done.
Landing that first client is truly the hardest part for most, so good work ✊
@@GavinHerman **** first client that does numbers **** haha thanks
@@rorymoldofsky That's even harder, well done.
Somewhere I've already videoed this blade at 1:30...
nice video Smallville.
Is the subtle shake that occurs every now and again done on purpose or am I just looking to into the video?
what do you think? 🤔
Bro, I’m learning video editing from your TH-cam videos, but sometimes I feel nervous. I keep wondering when I’ll be able to master animations and use effects like you. Is this the right path for me?

@GavinHerman Your way of teaching is superb, and I believe you should create a course. It would help a lot of people and make a big impact.
Make a video on faceless storytelling video . Hope you will make this one. For other and for me. Nice video keep us enlighten about editing. Thank you
man great video but why you look like christopher nolan at 5:06
ai is pretty good these days
Bro you look like Brad Pitt
and Thanks for the lessons.
Glad it helped! … and I’m flattered

Why thank you, kind sir. I take that as a compliment.

Let the journey begin!
You look like Tom Welling lol
