Hi, I’m Seriah! ✨ I’m 24 and live in upstate NY. Aside from being a content creator I also enjoy modeling and making music. I graduated from college in 2020 and studied Digital Media Marketing. I create videos about my career journey, productivity and wellness vlogs, and content creation/ social media tips. Basically navigating life in my 20s while trying to live a fulfilling life and encouraging my youtube fam to do the same. If any of that interest you, I hope you subscribe!

[@nickajohnson4570]

Thanks!

[@seriahalexus]

Thank you so so much! My first super thanks lol your support means everything ✨🤞🏽😊

[@soupisgood44]

LOL I usually fast forward through how-to videos to get to the point, because they always ramble too much. I naturally started doing that to this one at first out of habit, but quickly realized I can't do that with you because you actually get to the point and know exactly what you're doing with your editing 😂😂😂 THANK YOU for being real

[@JadoreMilan]

Lol same! I hate long intros

[@tuknchuk]

9:11 “YOU CAN NOT BE a perfectionist if YOU WANT TO BE consistent… Let me JUST say that. And that’s the HARDEST part”. WOW !!!
True experience and wisdom, right there.
Let me JUST give you a rare diamond 💎
Thank you so much for that. Simple and Brilliant !!!!

[@Mr_Kirk_]

GIRL! You dropped some real knowledge in this one! I like that your tips aren't "buy this" "buy that" - These tips are how to get it done underground style. Love it! Thank YOU!!

[@fabongie7230]

I'm so glad I clicked on this video! Queen, you need to get more consistent so they stop sleeping on you. Just look at this amazing video quality and top-notch editing skills, there are RUclipsrs with 100k subs whose videos ain't this good. Keep it up sis! ✨

[@seriahalexus]

I am so glad I found your video! I've been creating content on RUclips for around a year now and I've been editing on my phone first and then on my iPad and then davinciz resolve on my laptop. I've been considering purchasing Final Cut Pro to upgrade my editing game and thought it would be a good investment since I am graduating this month and I'll be able to make more content and be more consistent! Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks with this video!! :))
