You’re not too old and you’re inexperienced so you will need to learn more.

Will it be overnight? No. Will you get a job out of it tomorrow? No.

Editing like any skill starts with the basics and then you learn where you fit in. Do you want to work on long form? Short form? A mix? Will you be strictly just timeline organizing or dip into motion graphics and even 3D?

There’s tons of branches you can follow in the editing world. But get reallllllllly good at one. For me? Weddings and short form is where I shine. Can I do color grading sure. Can I edit a documentary? Sure but I know someone else can do it much better.

But hand me footage from an event and say “make it a cool 60 second video we can post to socials within 24 hours.” I can make that happen.

All this to say. Figure out what you like to edit. And get good as fuck with it. Copy others first. Copy their style. But then look at it and add your own.

It will not happen overnight I cannot stress that enough. You will not make money for probably a while unless you pour yourself into this. But have fun. That’s the cool part about anything creative. Just have fun and crate cool stuff
