After you know the basics which is almost the same in every video editor, you can go give Resolve a try. I say this because Davinchi Resolve can be very overwhelming when you don’t know anything about video editing.

    Please, please, please don't offer unlimited revisions, refunds or to work for free. I can't stress this enough. Not only will it put you in a terrible position, it makes it harder for other editors to negotiate fair pay and working conditions. This is how creators and businesses take advantage of creatives.

I am one month away from graduation from Full Sail University, and I can also use my school's resources to search for opportunities. However, so far nothing has come up. For the past year, I have been looking for opportunities. My resume and cover letter have been updated, and I'm having trouble.
