- Learning video editing is not easy.
Starting as a freelance video editor is even harder.
Don't give up.

This is the most relatable video I found on the internet 😭 even i don't really care to create these amazing and fancy looking edits not my thing to do. I like to be simple and more towards storytelling, building a narration through sound design and dropping hints and Easter eggs type of shit I'm more of a film making side editor 💗✨
1, people should realize that people like Iman Gahdzi, Ali abdal and the guy you mentioned at the beginning of the vid. They have a team of video editors. If 1 editor would try to make 1 kind of these videos. it Would take a whole month or 2 and I hate this trend in editing niche right now. (tried 1 animations like Iman, I like it but it took me like 3 hours just to make 5 sec of it)
2, is not hormozi subtitles, or Iman edit that that will make your channel succesfull. You need to build a brand a deliver a good story of engagement through your editing. Looks at channels like Gawx art, Natalie lynn or life of Riza simple editing not fancy animations, but the power of their style is engaemnt through sound and great storytelling.
Dont give up guys, I myself still strugelling with clients right now, but today I just done with my showreel so I just hope in next few days I will find some clients that will pay me fair money for my work.
Great vid. as always Kyrie.
appreciate your comment! amazing points
gawx is one of my inspirations for some of the videos, but I remember he said that it takes months to film and edit one of his videos
@@KyrieQHD Thats true, Gawx is my biggest inspiration, but I will start small and improve little by little, Gawx put lot of effort to put right emotions in to the video. his composition and soud design is next level, but my message is clear, you dont need fancy animation to make banger videos.
If you haven't seen it, check Digital Spaghetti channel (creator of Fiverr), where he asks gawx about his whole process
really cool, he's using the skateboard with a tripod to make smooth camera movement lol
@@KyrieQHD yeah I saw it like 3 times already :D
The information you give out is real.
That's why i subscribed to you.
Appreciate it man!
Hope that it'll be valuable for you!
i like your uniqueness brother, u stand out from other youtubers who keeps talking unrealistic things. good job bro
I can complete relate this video it saved me lot of time. I 100% agree with you.
One of the best videos about editing and great tips, man that's make me comfortable
Amazing tips for working with clients! very useful 🔥🔥🔥
I agree 100%. Also the ending of your video is hilarious.
I love your audience retention with words
you are a real one bro.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts man. I agree and it’s good to know that being mediocre or not you can shine in your way. Thats why I love editing, I actually consider myself as a pro editor , but i can’t get online Clients 😢 and that’s the most important thing .
Appreciate your comment man!
I mean I also kinda consider myself a pro editor, I guess
I'm making a living out of it, I guess that counts as a pro lol
I'm just not the one who will learn after effects or blender, just to create animations in "Iman Ghadzi style" haha
@@KyrieQHD ahaha 😂, you don’t have to. It’s just the hype talking louder, at the end people don’t really have to create similares videos. Am from Angola 🇦🇴, Africa . And here it’s almost impossible to get clients online. I’ve been trying for 3 month and until now , nothing. But I won’t give up. I’ll keep trying and learning with videos like yours.
@@KyrieQHD thanks man.
Damn l like it honest advices
I decided to become video editor after I saw Maxor's videos, I am nowhere near his level but I do not regret my decision a single bit
daaaamn, max0r and NakeyJakey were my main inspirations 4 years ago:)
max0r is a machine, I tried to edit like him but realized that I just can't handle it
watching him vs. actually trying to do all of those things is night and day
but he inspired me a lot!
Keep uploading more videos you are open my eyes l'm a video editor too who's struggling to find a client hehe 😅
Haha That ending! 😆 But yeah man, I feel the same exact way, some times I learn new tricks for fun but I don't want clients to know about it because I don't want to work more for the same amount of money.
lol so true, especially for the long term clients with a fixed per project rate
0:54 literal hit what i was thinking last week, i agree totally with the other comment about making edits toward storytelling and more simple, also those that make these animations are not editors, are motion designers (motion graphics, animators, etc...), editor is the person that know what, why and how transmit the message the director (client in this case) wants by visuals and sounds. Literal what you say in this video.
Bro I think you would made more money as model :D Also would be nice if you show what kinda of stuff you do for clients so we know what we need to learn.
hahaha
I actually laughed out loud lol
well, if the youtube gig won't work out I know what to do:)
@@KyrieQHD You already know how to sell urself from video editing so it should be pretty easy :D
Can you make a video about what kind of an experience for you being handsome or how it makes you feel.
Hahaha
I need to ask the bags under my eyes first 😂
saving this video
honestly would love to earn even 1,5k euro as an editor here in germany just so i can quit my shitty 9-5.

amazing facts but the bar at the market is very high 😅 it's really hard to keep up
true!
which is why I guess you should find a way to differentiate yourself somehow, and the most important thing that you should provide not the "amazing animations and VFX"
but Instead you should provide your service as something that will make your client $, or will help them to get more sales or reach any goal that they have with video content
the best way to make sure the client will work with you long term and pay you more $ is to let them know that you're actually interested in them succeeding and have a desire to help them
if they're treating you like a cog wheel, just an average office worker or something, then just leave imo
@@KyrieQHD facts right now im working on this shit the team i worked with need all the crazy 3d edits all the day in longfl form content and short for which is hard for me to keep up
@@KyrieQHD at the same time they pay me 200 $ a month with this kind of work
hey man, Like you im a small editor, if you need someone to do small edits for you i can help with that .
Bro are you deleting my comment?
are you still in ukraine? how can you live in warzone? i am so scared of this world
yep, I can't leave, because I'm military age
well yeah, it's rough, drones, rockets, explosions at night and these kind of things, even tonight woke up from explosion at 4am and fell while running to bathroom lol
also fear of getting enlisted (I'm not really a brave guy)
but what can I do, I can just focus on work, creating content and building business from home
"when life gives you lemons..." as they say
