How I became a Netflix video editor in 3 months

inspirational, thank you!

Thanks man i learn a lot and keep on refering to this video when stuck

loved it. thank you for sharing

Man, as a portuguese guy fascinated with the multimedia world, it's crazy to hear that 300$ a day is low.
Our minimum wage is below 800$ a month. And I won't even talk about how creative or digital jobs are mainly ignored 😅

I’m a newcomer to your channel, but I love your ability to tell a story!

They won’t hire people out of state so this does not apply to anyone other people living in la

I can relate that part where you say that you had been working on PC and then boom there comes Mac. Same thing happened with me when I came to Delhi from another city just to explore in editing field. On the very first day at job I was scared of Mac, because I had never worked on Mac & the first project I got was Government of India's project. I was happy (because it was the big project) but scared & nervous at the same time (because of the mac & the tight deadline). Adding more fun to that their current editor left the company on the day of my joining. I was the only editor left. I had no idea whom to ask.
But today when I look at myself I feel proud of myself. I think each one of us goes through the same fear. Nowadays I am editing for amazon and many more other brands. It gives another level of satisfaction. Just want to say to all the fellow editors that KEEP LEARNING!!!!

What education do you have?

That is so awesome and I find it really inspiring as someone who is a student right now. I also have access to linkden Learning, so I must check out some courses.

Glad it worked out for you and that fast. Unfortunately it didn't work out for me.

Thanks for your video, I got alot of usefull information !

I LOVED your story man! I appreciate this. I'm hoping I get some work myself🙏

This is now Davinci resolve's era

Awesome storytelling!

Am I the only one who feels like he's mouth moves like from an AI generated clip? :D

I was disappointed when you said avid or premiere then I realized this is an old video. Avid and premiere is doa now. Learn resolve

damn this was inspiring to hear and funny ! great video overall

How much harder is it to become an editor in Europe compared to the US?

You either slept with someone, or were "friends" with someone.

Please i want tk learn video editing 😢

Very inspiring. Cool story

great video man thank you so much. I am an indie filmmaker and I have recently decided to stard editing my projects. I got the mac studio with the m2 max chip and adobe premiere pro. Which course would you recommend for a total beginner? Thank you

Just started to learn video editing and I'm surprised at how great it is. I also hope one day I can be an editor and get some extra income as a stay-at-home dad. Thanks for your video

So nepotism basically

you motivated me thank you

Guys, I've just made my first showreel, please tell me if it's good

You literally created your own courses lol that’s dedication that I need

wow!

What were the Lynda classes called?

This is the life I want man. How do I do it, where do I start

THANK YOU FOR THIS

You exhibited a great combination of prep work, luck and having a little faith that you'll figure things out on the job. That's what it takes. I've been doing this for almost 40 years and every job teaches you something new.

150 is bad? id be digging out a mountain with my bare hands for 150 a day

That Mac story...😅😅.. I felt nervous just listening to you tell it. How'd you make that immediate transition on the spot? What about the hotkeys?

This video is so funny. you are funny. Love it. Reminds me of how I would be. clueless to start

The editors subreddit is private

You woke her up, just for the damn shot...

wow, thank you

what is the current status of your pay per day?

Wow man, so inspiring. I am in similar transition phase from 9-5 trying to do what I love - filmmaking and photography and this was super helpful. I see that pretty much it is all about being prepared and network-meet people and make right connections and you in. I found it frustrating trying to do some work in my homeland, small country oversaturated market. But one can find excuses all day long, I have to start putting in some effort and believe it will work. Thanks again.

Adobe premier vs final cut pro... Think last one is easy start and is amazing.

Where do I find editing jobs for films? All I find is corporate stuff

that was ....not my experience lol. It definitely took more time for people to believe in me, but after that first leap of faith I always was hired back for more. The only thing is projects change, staff change, etc. You always need to be reaching out and looking for more work so that someone is always hitting you up. There's never one landing point, but it means you get to work on exciting and varied things.

150 or even 250 a day is not a livable salary in california.

you kinda look like Theo James

This actually just got me pretty motivated and determined to keep on this path and refining my skills even more so I can leave my lame ass day job lol

Wow,it's not just skill it's a Passion too
