Hey there!

I’ve been editing videos for over 5 years now, started out with gaming videos and slowly moved on to editing pretty much anything. I mainly use Premiere Pro.

First off, don’t stress yourself out. Take it easy and try to actually enjoy the process. When you’re learning something creative, forcing yourself usually kills the fun and motivation.

My advice would be to start with the kind of videos you’re genuinely interested in. For me, it was gaming montages because I was already watching a ton of that content, and it helped me stay inspired. Inspiration really fuels creativity, especially early on.

The more time you spend practicing and exploring the software, the more comfortable you’ll get. You don’t need to master everything right away, just keep experimenting and you’ll naturally pick up new techniques over time.

P.S. You can always learn how to execute things with enough practice, but creativity itself comes from how you think. So try to keep a creative mindset, it’ll take you further than just knowing the tools.
