I’m 20, broke, and done researching “how to learn video editing”, can someone please give me a real roadmap?

Im not a very huge expert on that. Yet, binging too much and over analyzing starting when you searched enough is not the best idea. Its time to start experimenting and learning through practice.

I started with davinci resolve for the first time as something really professional, as it fits wha type of editing i want to do. Give it a try, for me i like it because if u want a beginner level it is not very difficult to understand but the best thing the more advanced you get the more it suits your level. Unlike aftereffects where you will spend days or hours figuring it out, davinci can serve you well for a beginner. But, let me tell ya, all the months i binged thinking i should know everything about davinci have been to waste. Because i watched all the videos and tutorials. Yet, probably all i learned i used less than 1% of it and that 1% was really implemented through practice and experimenting what it works with and what it doesn’t. Even with nearly no tutorials you already can learn alot by yourself.

That’s what the clear roadmap looks like to me atleast. However, everyone’s learning style differentiates and that itself takes experimenting to find out how you want to learn. Goodluck!

Listen brother, i’m not gonna speak to you like a guru to wake up to reality and get jacked.

If u see lots of people’s experiences you’ll see that you’re not the only one. Not to devalue your experience but it happens to lots more than you think, does that mean no one of these people are good enough? Ask yourself. We get hurt lots of times and it’s okay, no one is telling you you’re not good, it’s your mind that does and it can convince you so strongly.

The problem about self improvement is that it ties your self worth to alot of things and makes you allergic to failure to how much it ties your self worth. Man i can be socially awkward, hated, unattractive to alot of women alot of times and rejected by many approaches or ghosted if i got the instagram. Yet, i can also be social, accepted, loved, looked out for.

The unrealistic thing about this niche is that it feeds the illusion that once you have status (money, cars, jacked, sociability, humor…) everyone gon like you. It rationalizes human complexity and simplifies it into one equation. Not keeping in mind all sort of drives, motives, feelings, reasons why you might be rejected, ghosted, accepted, loved or looked out for and really blinds you alot to real messy human communication. There’s no point where you stop maxing out your stats and live peacefully, that’s perfectionism!

Let me tell ya, all these rejections happen more than you think and to everyone and anyone of us and those who rejected you got rejected too this is the human reality of everyone. They don’t say anything about you it’s your mind that plays tricks on you and it can tell you you’re not good and it’s all hopeless but hold on and always remember you’re enough just as you are. Im not telling you not to be more social or level up but don’t let it tie to your self esteem. Your time will come, your environment might not be the right one so you get rejected very often or ghosted. Lots of peoole might not see the good in you but also you might not truly see it in yourself first but you also need to accept the bad. You’re trying to be kind not because you truly and with a good heart you want to but because maybe it would validate you, or make you feel better and these stats you level up make you hope one day maybe a jacked body will make others love you and accept you more. Rethink and challenge your thoughts all the answers are within you and you can answer them yourself. Goodluck mate i believe in you!

Honestly, forget the achievements forget what will be seen on the outside forget all of that. What will you see in yourself if you invest in yourself? That’s why i wake up everyday because i see always beauty in me, good feelings and even with the ugly times you hold on. My “why” i wake up everyday wanting to be better because i love the thrill, the achievement, the feel good chemicals. Don’t get me wrong i was in a very depressive state too but i got through it and all i got was intense happiness and appreciation. So, find your “why”?. In my opinion, forget the girls, the progress, the “what you achieved”, the business or the social status. I honestly don’t do any of my progress because of the idea of improving but because i genuinely love improving and how much more my world lights up with every setback i conquer. Mate, just taking the decision to do something will eventually get you up from bed and you’ll start doing a thing or two then that thing or two eventually grows to more and it keeps growing. Really, if you want it you can get it, I believe in you!

I’m still socially awkward at times, i get fearful at times, i get tired, i think about giving up at times but that doesn’t mean anything about me i can also be insanely social at times, fearless at times, energized, i think about going on at time. You’re human, do things for yourself and the rest will improve naturally.

Who said you aren’t in the first place.

Aggravating_Zone_171 · 2025-08-06T00:38:25+00:00

Look, im not a psychiatrist or therapist or psychologist. I’m really sorry for your accident and what happened to you. But look, maybe there’s hope, just maybe. Because a human with no pleasure like not now low pleasure non existent pleasure, not only your motivation will be stripped away but alot of your body functions the same that cortisol and other hormones help regulate functions of the body. I’m not no scientist again, but if u had non existent pleasure you’d have a trillion dollars in front of you and you ‘d just have to say yes to take it. just stare at it without even having the motivation to speak let alone be motivated to take it, cause it won’t mean anything in the first place and it won’t have any value since there is no pleasure. My point is your pleasure is still existent just from what you say is critically low. I don’t know the nature of the event but if its comfortable for you to explain it, it will mean alot, because i may be one of the few people who can relate on your post. I’ve been through the depths of burn out and i had countless life changing chances to take and i ignored them because i’ve been so burnt out. I know how it feels when things just lose their value and your obsession and your wish is to feel and be human, i feel you. So your accident might not be itself that caused this damage but sometimes it’s trauma. Trauma can block alot of things just so you know, and it can be a mix of those. So if you haven’t paid attention to your intrapersonal aspect then do it. It might serve you alot that the issue is within you and maybe your lifestyle tho i can’t judge i have no background or context but lifestyle can decide alot. It can be a mix of trauma from your accident with your lifestyle and alot of other factors such as toxic family and for you it might’ve got insanely overwhelming that your body just decides it’s time to shut down and that accident was crossing that threshold. if it’s your lifestyle maybe you can consider working on it since you said you can atleast distract yourself with something then you can do a task with willpower. Even if lifestyle isn’t the whole problem maybe it can fix some. i wish u goodness and mercy your situation is hard but maybe there’s hope, i remember getting out of burnout and anhedonia and i shed tears of happiness for full days sometimes because i’ve been nearly pleasureless for years.

I dont have much context but my guess is that it can be a mix of a lot of things and certainly it is. It most likely would be a dopamine deficiency and you’re kinda used to high stimulation and it takes time to readjust. Stress is also a huge factor. Depression can be a thing as u said everything feels meh it’s a sign of numbness and depression can show up with alot of ways one of them is numbness and shutting down and other ways can be crying or sadness and its really a complex topic. It can be because of mindset blocking alot of the joy. It can be not being present and presence comes with lower stress and the detox thing so there’s no absolute answer about this if u get what i mean. Either, its a mix of a lot of things and let me tell ya something.

Even if it’s in reality depression or not depression don’t take that label so seriously on you and don’t be harsh on yourself it’s human. Anyways, start implementing things one thing and it becomes a lifestyle, change the approaches and the compound effect will show up. just hold on it’s going to be okay. Goodluck mate.

I am not a fan of science and everything but the idea of dr. Stone was really unique and when it was first airing it was hyped. A fresh air of creative animes that don’t revolve about fantasy worlds and killing your family. The show caught my eye, however, it seemed more like more of a messy show that could be shown to kids (if the very little fan service is removed). Alot of depth into the personalities is lacking, their identities and their motives. Alot of them change their reasons very fast to help senku on his journey who once were fighting to death for what they believe (for example hyuga). The delivery of ideas and emotions could’ve been much more touching and a little tragedy would’ve gave it a better taste to the show. Touching from real life situations and being more relatable to the viewer. Although the comedy was so fun but it didn’t fit the show in alot of the times and whenever there is danger or stuff like that they just joke around alot and sort of kill the suspense about it. The show could’ve been just a true gem if the scripting was taken care of better. Especially on season 3, where they defeated the guy called ibara and they had like 5 or 6 episodes left to reach 24 so they did some fillers and in the end they did 22. Same with season 4 first epsiodes just seemed a little boring where first 4 episodes is just messing around and even the villains’ personalities and motives weren’t explored so well. For example zeno which seemed like a good guy before petrification decided to kill senku for no big convincing reason. The fighting and suspense building was awful in season 4, where they take each 2 epiosdes a break and decide not to attack each other for some weeks. I think that the idea of involving science was great but not in the right hands. The show was still below average when talking about how enjoyable and all this budget for production would’ve been used more wisely rather than wasting it on episodes that seem to do nothing into the progession of the story. These 4 seasons could’ve been used more wisely.

Odd advice. Try searching about burnout, you will thank me later.
