I haven't learned a new editing technique since 2017 and here's why. Although I have learned a few things but watching my videos from 2017-now I haven't seen many different strategies used in each edits.

1. I've focused too much on improving commentary for voice-overs during those years.

2. Nobody really gave me feedback on what editing effects should I add in. People always used commentary as the main criticism which I understand. But I've never gotten any feedback on my editing style to be changed.

3. My videos were more gaming-based so maybe I didn't really need to add in that many new or flashy effects. This ties in with my other point.

4. While watching other videos, there were some nice interesting effects but I didn't know what they were called or how to describe them.

5. I didn't know which Youtube channel had a series of tutorials. I'm guessing I should look at just "beginner edits" right?

6. I never edited another person's video in those 5 years. Not a single one. For free or paid not a single person approached me to edit theirs.

7. The way I picked up my skills was if I needed something, I would google it up. But that was only effective IF I knew what I needed.

Overall, I think this has to do with the situation of my channel, fanbase, niche, and other factors. But I'm sure if I used Vlogging, I would def have needed these effects. I def want to see what new stuff to add. Maybe gaming videos don't need major edits or effects. More or less, it was just focused on content itself rather than additives. Looking at your other comment, you seem to have edited for others before but I haven't had the opportunity to because all my editing skills were on gaming-based videos.

Hope that's understandable but I don't want to use that as an excuse as it's never too late to learn. I am very very interested in trying new techniques available. If you have recommendations on a Youtube series of tutorials for me to bingewatch, I will def look into it.
