    Whenever clients ask for an editor, it always seems to be Premiere (youtube editing). After 1 year of FCP I’m honestly considering switching

    • @ColleenCavolo
      @ColleenCavolo  Рік тому +2

      Oooooo yea that’s a tough struggle! I’ve definitely seen clients looking for FCP editors OR better yet, no preference to software. BUT yes there’s lots of clients with a preference for premiere. That’s a hard decision! Could be worth it to know both platforms just in case!

    I got skilled at editing while supporting myself in other jobs, but every application I see demands to be salaried in the field for at least 5 years. How do I get around this trap? Someone has to be willing to hire someone who hasn't worked in the field for years. No one can get that experience unless someone hires them for their first time!

    Do companies give you enough time to do it properly though, or are you always rushing and doing overtime? Does it take over your personal time, so you're always dreaming about video editing, clients, coworkers, bosses, etc.?

    Hi Colleen! Just ran into your video cause I’ve been thinking hard about getting into media film/photographer cause when I edit my lil TikTok’s I just be in love all day finding the right clips and audio to go along with it.. so I think it’s something I would enjoy doing as a career. One of my first concerns or question though is do we have to have 2 desktop screens to work with the different software u mentioned in the video?? Or a laptop/ipad would suffice?

    • @ColleenCavolo
      @ColleenCavolo  10 місяців тому +1

      I edited in just my laptop for many years. If it’s powerful enough I think that’s fine! You may get annoyed with the small screen after awhile but I think it’s better to just start with what you have and then slowly upgrade to bigger and better things from there :)

      I think the bigger question is: do you have the interest and determination to become a video editor, or would you just prefer it as a hobby? Anyone can be good enough to get paid for this, but like any career, it takes a lot of work and passion!
