    As a freelance editor I can relate 100% its too much frustrating to see people are asking for ali abdal or Iman gadzi style videos for 10-20 bucks! this is insane. I dont know how people can expect that kind of high production for 10-20 bucks!
    sometimes people come with random shaky footages and ask to make Christopher Nolan style movie 😂😂 by seeing these people Im afraid of youtubes future. What kind of people are comming in this beautiful platform!

    This was one of the most sane and realistic video I have seen on youtube video editing, the one where you talked about editors doing extra visual effects and motion graphics work and the one where you talked about the reality of earning 10k/month as an youtube editor resonated with me a lot, and it assured me that I was not the only one going insane over those two things, lol!

    this is very real, with the pricing competition right now, I'm lucky to be doing $4K/mo as a video editor, but 10K/mo with the current market? almost impossible unless you offload most of your work to other editors as well.

    • @KyrieQHD
      @KyrieQHD  5 місяців тому +3

      Yep, outsource is the only way, but I can't do it properly because clients are paying ME for the way that I do videos, they look at my portfolio and that's why the choose me as their editor, I feel like I'm scamming them if I'm outsourcing the work and not applying my vision to their content
      Funny enough right after this video I had 4 days during which I earned $1k, but it's not sustainable to work like that for months without burning out

    This is related asf. I was doing short form editing for 1 client for free over 1 year (I was too afraid to try to land another and I was stupid). It wasnt that bad, it was 5 short in 2 weeks. But from passion, to creating some repetitive videos over and over. I was done and burn out. Now I finally find out that cinematography is the way for me. You will learn lighting, editing, videography, story creation, yes it has much bigger learning curve, but I really enjoy it. This year, I have a plan to start to do some short films and start YT to do my own content. I like it cause you really are doing something different every day.

    I can relate so much to everything in this video. I've had the same luck with FIverr, however I'm still stuck on the "asking for a raise" step... I started doing pretty cheap videos and now it's hard to ask for a proper price and risk losing my long term clients. Great advices tho I just have to actually do it..

    • @KyrieQHD
      @KyrieQHD  8 місяців тому +2

      Yeah, I understand how it feels!
      So I approached my long term client kinda like this:
      "In the past 6 months I improved my editing skills quite a lot and now I'm starting to work 30$ (name your price) per hour with all my clients. For you I can do 25$ per hour because we work for such a long time. That means that for the price you pay me I can spend less time editing your content. I really like working with you and I don't want to worsen the quality on your videos because of time restraints.
      But I also have to prioritize my time and money earned."
      Something like that.

    Speaking absolute facts! Love the video, and the message you're putting across!
    I agree, it's definitely an issue with the market, and how the market perceives the role and the value of editing/editors.
    Unfortunately, this is likely because of UA-cam's low barrier to entry (anyone can create youtube videos, and anyone can decide to promote themselves as an editor, which introduces lots of poor quality clients/editors).
    In my experience of being an youtube editor, most of these problems are fixed (not across the board but in terms of if/when you encounter the issues that are frustrating you) by increasing the quality of your clients. Guys like Ed (Film Booth) who you reference, are after GOOD editors, not cheap editors. They need editors who can take stuff off their plate (rather than cheap editors that end up costing them more time). That means a) understanding how to position yourself to attract those ideal clients, and b) understanding what those clients are looking for, so that you can work seamlessly with them.
    I honestly believe that if editors can learn marketing skills (how to market themselves, and how to market their clients correctly through their editing) then 90% of these frustrations become redundant - you'll attract better quality clients (who can pay you better), and you'll get them the result that they ACTUALLY want (= easier working relationship).
    *I'm happy for people to disagree with me on this. This is just based on my experience of working as an editor, and trying to hire youtube editors for clients.

    I honestly beleived I was alone with these beliefs/thoughts. I started questioning if I was being delusional with how long videos should take me to edit, if I'm charging too much, if I should have way more skills, speed and knowledge as an editor.
    I'm so sick of seeing the misleading "earn 10k per month" videos as well. 10k a month is achievable for a team, but every video on the subject fails to mention a team is behind making that money, and they fail to mention expenses. I've done a few 6k months solo and I was exhausted! 10k revenue comes with 10k's worth or work, time, responsibility, value and stress. Haha, sorry for the rant!

      And I know that I'm not doing enough in terms of searching for the new clients, etc.
      But still, 10k, cmon...
      When I'll be making an editing course or maybe an "agency"(outsourcing) then hopefully can talk about 10k lol 😂

    I am currently a Film Student. I know what you mean by wanting to film more cinematic projects.
    What's great about the transition from UA-cam to Cinema editing is that you are technically extremely capable compared to people who have only edited films. As an editor who is dipping my toes into both fields right now and not completely sure which way to commit, I can tell you that the Film industry tends to be more hands-on. So if you can locally network with up and coming directors, or even pitch some local venue a professional documentary, then go and hire a DOP to do the shots for you, then you direct it and edit it. Things like that should get you into it. But I understand that takes time.
    May God assist you and make it easy for you.

      @@KyrieQHD It’s not that they aren’t technically good. No they are really good. In fact professional film editors are the ones who set the standard.
      I’m mainly talking about learning and progressing in video editing through UA-cam first is a better route in my opinion than learning editing films. Because UA-cam is just more demanding in certain technical aspects such as masking, tracking, motion graphics, lots of pace change, etc… As you know.
      It exists in film but not as much which means less practice. So the transition as I said means you most likely have an advantage compared to film editors with the same years of experience as you.

    I worked with an acquaintance (especially now because he was a dumbass about it)
    We were working for a SaaS company with 100 employees,
    and I kinda ditched my job which was my fault, and explained why to this acquaintance
    I got payed for doing a 8 to 10 hour of work, for 50$.
    And this guy tells me that this is the standard, but I find out that many translators get paid more, and they’re a company with 100 employees, but he says to me “just because they have 100 employees doesn’t mean they have money, they have a small translation team so they can’t pay us”
    I was furious for a few days, and cut ties with that guy.

    There are amazingly good marketing positions for Video Editors. In my experience, being a 9-5 marketing Editor has really let me pursue some freelance on the side specifically for passion. I feel that's a career path a lot of creators should try if they don't feel comfortable going full-time freelance and NO ONE mentions this. In fact, creators tend to hate on 9-5s when a lot of times you work less than that, have benefits, a steady income and most positions are 100% remote as well lol

    Dude! Great video, so glad I stumbled on this.
    If you're down, would love to do a podcast around this as a fellow UA-cam editor/producer myself.
    Things I'd love to discuss:

    1 - The UA-cam Video Editing Market - totally agree, everyone is looking for an edit in "someone's style". And there are people out there charging $10 for a 10 hour job. I’ve been able to avoid dealing with these clients by positioning myself as a UA-cam producer, not just a UA-cam editor.

    2 - Don’t Lose Your Passion - So true, you can lose passion by taking on a job. I mentally break myself into two categories. Am I being a designer or an artist. A designer creates to express others, an artist creates to express themselves. I even ask a lot of beginner editors, do they want to be a designer (and get paid more) or be an artist.

    3 - Finding Clients - We’re in a super saturated market, it’s hard to find clients. My biggest saving grace is subscription services. Locking clients into guaranteed work month in, month out means I need WAAAYYYY less clients to meet budgets.


    4 - Money Talk - An editor (mostly) will struggle to ever achieve $10,000 a month, but the roles you can evolve are more likely to get that, but it’s still not easy.
    The general rule in business is that a marketer should earn between 5x (at a minimum) and 10X (very good) what they charge. This is because most profit margins in business are 10-20%.
    So if you want to charge $10,000 worth of work, how does that work generate a business $100,000 in value/revenue.

    I just started trying to learn how to make videos/edit as a hobby cuz I’ve always wanted to… I’ve been using davinci for a couple months now. Everything can be so complicated with so many roadblocks in the process. I literally can’t sit down to work on my project for more than an hour, maybe longer if things are working correctly. I can’t imagine, as least right now, doing it for hours at a time. Having to look up every tiny thing I want to do takes up all the time instead of actually getting something done. I’ve gotten about maybe 30 seconds of footage done. But I’m proud of it so far, and it’s also because I keep changing it cuz I find something better or cooler to use instead.

    • @KyrieQHD
      @KyrieQHD  2 місяці тому

      for every 5 seconds of the video you watch a 20 minute tutorial:)

    Чудово що маєш довгострокові проекти що переросли файвер, бо сама платформа дуже не стабільна через ротацію гігів. Майже 3 роки на файвері з 150+ виконаними проектами по 3д та 2д графіці і за цей час стабільно 1-2 рази за рік платформа як забирає мене з першої сторінки на 3-4, так і повертає через декілька місяців. Через це бувають великі періоди де майже немає роботи. Тому якщо залежити тільки від файверу - в перспективі може вилізти боком :(

      Я починав вчити афтер ефектс і в мене наче і виходило, але я про себе подумав що це не те за чим я хотів би проводити години часу кожен день
      Але я скажу що з моменту як я постив це відео в мене були 4 дні за які вийшло заробити $1к, але це точно не 10к на місяць, і це не з клієнів на твіттері яким кажуть робити фрі відео і скидати в лічку лол :)

      Also in my personal opinion, when they require you come up with a b-roll ideas, find it, create some jokes, (which shouldn't be the editors job from the beginning) you should understand how much time you will spend on this and count that into the payment for the video
