I'm thinking vlogging will be a good way to learn fast video editing. Thoughts?

Just cut out any empty air

I feel it is a natural evolution of contextual layer that AI and Humanity as a whole will require NEW thought matrix constructs around & an ideology of scaffolding will be more curious as a whole due to this morph ~

Start with shorts.

I managed to craft passable clips in a weekend.

1. Record a long conversation (or reuse one)

2. Download CapCut (desktop not mobile)

3. Re-watch the content at x1.5 and use labels to note sentences you like, write down the note or a summary of it since you can later re-order them to create better story telling. (i.e. a question that is answered 10m earlier in the conversation)

4. Copy viral clips with your source material, put a lot of effort on sound and details.

5. When you found an effect you don’t know, search a particular short tutorial to learn that specific technique.

You want to learn the basics to produce good enough quality and then learn advanced stuff later.

General advice:

1. Organize a re-usable template with B rolls and sound library, keep expanding it when you find your favorite memes and sounds

2. Always use shortcuts, write them down on a pice of paper until you remember them (Don’t change default shortcuts)

3. Avoid complex animations/effects at first, you can replace them with something simple, add a time limit to your editing to accomplish this

4. Don’t spend hours creating labels at first, your labeling system will evolve quickly (I spend 2 hours labeling a video to later find out a better way to annotate them)

Video editing should have been facilitated by AI since yesterday... What a hateful task.

Can someone recommend an app?

I’ve done 3 and I’ve learned a lot in a very short period of time. Keep up the grind
