I honestly don't care about becoming rich. At this point, I just want a stable job that won't make me consider suicide as the way out.
As a retired "film editor," I have to say that when I started working on a Moviola, there were very few editors in the world, I would say that there were maybe 200 in LA and a lot less in NY and London. One had to undergo an apprenticeship because editing used to be a craft that was learned by working with another editor. We were physically cutting and splicing 35mm film, and the audio was 35mm film with a magnetic stripe to indicate a dissolve or other effect. We would physically draw on the film with a grease pencil and talk our way through it with the client. Sometimes we would draw a picture. The film then went to an "optical house" or a laboratory. We would look at a test a few days later. Special effects and audio were handled outside of the editing room. We had to know how to talk to all of these people. We had to learn about laboratories. It was physically demanding and loud, because the machines made lots of noise. In the '70s, Moviolas went away and were replaced by flatbed editing systems. We thought we would work that way forever. Then in the mid-eighties, people started shooting film and editing on analog videotape. Film editing had been nonlinear. Analog video editing was linear. All of the music videos of the MTV generation were edited this way, with few exceptions. Those editors who mastered this became in demand. Those of us who were working on flatbeds, unless we were cutting major motion pictures, had to learn new skills. In the early 90', we got Avid, which was much easier to master because we knew how to work non-linearly. At this point, the system I worked on could cost about 30 or 40 thousand dollars. As the quality improved and clients started demanding more and more finished-looking work, the room cost went up. At one point, my editing suite cost well over $100,000 to set up and was billed out at more than $3,000 per day.
Then came Final Cut, which was very similar to Avid until Final Cut X. That was kind of the end of editors getting rich because the cost came down to $300, and people started editing at age 12. That was when I finally retired. So really, nothing has changed. People keep expecting to pay less for more. A skilled editor can still make a lot of money, given the right talent and getting the right breaks; that number has gone back to that original figure of working editors when there was just a handful of us. Nothing can replace talent and luck.
I’m incredibly fascinated by the process of film pre-Avid and feel absolutely clueless about it. This was a lovely comment to read today!
I was interested in getting into video editing, started with filmora and the filmira pro, but the agencies are adobe snobs. Is Premier Pro C really worth it?
I will say that since I've shifted to "content creation" rather than just video editing, I've noticed that people are willing to pay a lot more on a regular basis. Especially these days, people are paying top dollar for professional editors exclusively for Tiktok, Reels, etc. It's wild.
Hey I agree with you on this but I’ve spent the last 6 months looking for clients like you are mentioning. Have you had any luck landing returning clients like these? And how did you find them?
@@Yargoogargoo personal connections have given me more clients than any sort of marketing or upwork luck, which probably isn't super helpful. But I also do a lot of cold emailing with proposals to companies that make money but often lack a decent social media presence. These days I've been mostly targeting builders and architects, which I've managed to get experience with through those personal connections.
@@averypless I'm 19, i can edit videos but that is the only skill i have at the moment. What do you recommend i try/learn to earn money?
Bit you post it on your tiktoks, or they hire you so you edit the video and they post it on ther accound of tiktok, reels etc???how you do it or how you present your self so they can say yes?
@@xza5687 You've just got to make stuff man. Simple as that. You can't gain skills without trial and error. I'm only good at what I do now because I've been filming and editing my own videos since I was 9 years old - I'm 21 now. It was not overnight in any capacity.
I love how RUclips first gives me 10 videos telling me to push as video editor
Then, it offers me the one single video saying: Why it won't make you rich
This feeds my inner doubts, I'm already full of doubts!
Do practical brother.
Hello, thanks for the video, sad but true, so i started editing about like 3 or 4 years ago, and slowly switched programs, now i'm 16 years old and have a good base standard skill on after effects (or at least i hope), haven't really explored new things in the past period due to school, i'd love to pursue this carrier at university or academies on how to build on this, as i noticed that now you can make a normal edit that looks like its made on pc from capcut.... do you think it's worth it to start now? or you think that in about 5 or 6 years this job will be kind of inexitent? i wouldn't mind specializing in motion graphics, advanced vfx etc... but obviously to get at a high level to get a good job it takes time, do you think it's worth it?
Man I’ve seen lots of people on upwork making well over 100 bucks an hour with video editing. I think finding good repeat clients is the key.
yes
Your content is amazing. I was just a video editor 5 years ago but after getting married and kids, I stopped working. Now I want to come back to work and your video is really a message that I needed to hear right now. Thank you Man!
Great tips Charlie! Also lovely colour grade on this video 😍
I love the new transparency on this channel. Alot of people don't wanna hear this but sadly, It's true.
Thank you! I really want to help people in the right way
what about shooting professional video & editing it, like a video producer & then also understanding video marketing to help clients reach their goals through the videos you shoot & or edit
You are right, 4-5 years ago video editor can make a good amount of money, nowadays budget are go down, competitor numbers go high...
foe someone who is already a video editor, what are your top 3 recommendations of skills to focus in 2022??
Content creation 😊
Teach video editing...
Don't search for gold, sell the pickaxes
I have a question and I'm wondering if you or anyone reading this could help me. I'm a beginner video editor and a friend has asked me to edit together a video of his holiday. He's paying me a small fee for it but he only wants to share it on his social media as a personal video. When it comes to the music, am I alright to use things like the RUclips music library for this? He will upload it to other platforms but again it's a personal video, not an advert for a company or anything like that. I've looked around online but the rules don't seem clear as most things are based around purely RUclips videos.
Any help would be really appreciated!!
Maybe u should give credits at last of musics
@@yugmapatoliya7112 yeah that's what I ended up doing in the end!
The intro hooked me because your house looks very nice :)
Also davinci resolve still reins supreme
thank Georgia for that one 😂
I love your input. By the way I'm sorry to say this but the cuts to sudden different movements than the previous scene is so distracting. I have the feeling you are doing this on purpose to see if someone notices so you can can hire them)) but yeah great videos, the transitions and cuts are so distracting, maybe it's a gimmick. 😁
not no expert but i think it’s for good retention
Interesting insight always good to hear!
Glad you enjoyed it
Can you get jobs editing videos using an iPad ?
No. You can't. And you shouldn't. Doesn't matter you have the m1 ipad pro or lumafusion. There's a lot more advantage to having a laptop. Atleast macbook air.
Yes you can! I am earning money right now by editing on mobile phone! I'm a poor guy, I cannot afford a laptop but still I'm editing videos on my mobile phone, I'm using inshot app to edit my videos! However, my client's requirement is not much of advanced videos, the videos I edit are quite basic 1080p shorts, reels videos, so nothing too advanced here but still a laptop would make it even better and it can make me learn good editing but since I can't afford one, I'm doing it this way... One day I'll definitely buy a laptop and start editing on it 😅👍
Whats the difference between an iPad and laptop as far as why it’s ideal to use a laptop 💻 to edit videos ? I’m trying to learn the business!?
@@twobridges1159 I have an M1 iPad pro 2021 . We have less option to work with . Any mainstream Editing software won't run in iPad (Avid, Final Cut, Premier or Davinci) . l learnt this things after joining a video editing course (FCP) . Serious clients won't approach one who are not familiar with any of the following. I use to edit and upload on ipad with VN video editor (still it lacks multiple layers beyond a limit) . With iPad we can learn basics of editing, how to cut , trim, place transitions and colour correction . For serious editing we need laptop/pc.In future i hope I pad will support more editing softwares.
@@ahmedsalafap5898 This is very helpful thanks for your input .
I realized this 10 years into the industry. The ceiling is much lower for video editing. There are very few editors who make greater than 6 figures a year. Maybe the middle class experienced once are making 100-200. Hollywood editors could potentially make more than that. Otherwise you probably working 18 hours a day and have issuss focusing on client relations
It dose not make you rich but you can get well paid thats if someone is willing too picked its been a Month and i Found no one that wants too work whit me dispite that i learnd more about it
Atleast it’s helping to survive 😂
But having a dope ass RUclips channel with sick editing will 👊🏻
Yeah i'll let you know when that happens 😅
Video Editing wont make you rich BUT will make you land a job at least . Dont be rich , be HAPPY instead !
That's the theory i'm going for, to be in a field I have interest in.
Being rich is a damn good down payment for happiness
Being rich doesn't bring you happiness, but being poor doesn't give you anything.
I failed miserably in video editing. Couldn't keep clients and deadlines turned my life into hell.
10k a month is possble with editing..😂
Defiantly is!
Here's the reality. Every man and his dog thinks they are going to make a great income for doing a job that isn't hard
Its called supply and demand. There is an over supply of "editors" with next to zero skills and almost every single one of them is willing to cut their own legs out on the fee to get the gig. Dreamers. Get a grip and a job
