@Okami13_ I agree, except for the height limit, wish you go higher than 13ft lol

Forza Horizon 6 has one of the best Photo Modes out there. Still really enjoying the game. Just knocked out the weekly challenges in the Festival Playlist which just went live! #Forza #ForzaHorizon6

@itsthewampus Huge stuff! 🔥

@david_fisara Nah I just hate sitting at a computer all day

You don’t hate editing. You hate editing things you don’t care about.

@itsthewampus Fire sequences 🔥

One technique im working on for longer narratives is balancing visuals and gameplay. At point what do added graphics stop adding value to the video? I think we found a nice balance in the Apex Bot to Pro video with using the Valk model selectively. This is one of those instances

@iFetis Procrastination and not really knowing what to post, or having anything to post

@damieneditss what's stopping u?

being "good" at editing = nothing if nobody knows you exist.

@iFetis What if your content doesn’t really have a message? (I’m in the try not to laugh niche rn)

your videos don’t get views. not because the topic sucks. not because the algorithm hates you. but because people can’t follow the message. content without clarity = a supercar without fuel.

@BakiVisuals I agree with Capcut bc it’s the most accessible

What is the most used editing program in the last 2 years? I would say After Effects.

@mangoster Guilty of a few of these for sure

looking back at my first 2 years editing, i made a lot of mistakes that kept me stuck longer than i needed to be - i said yes to every project even when something felt off - i thought being busy meant i was doing well - i charged based on what i thought clients would pay, not what the work was worth - i copied whatever style was trending instead of developing my own - i stayed available 24/7 thinking it made me more professional - i took every revision without pushing back because i was scared of losing the client - i measured progress by followers and likes instead of the quality of work i was producing - i consumed endless tutorials instead of just editing more and trusting my own eye - i treated rest as something i had to earn instead of something that made my work better none of these felt like mistakes at the time they all felt like hustle, like paying dues, like what u were supposed to do but they were just patterns that kept me running in circles

@byjoni_ Something I need to work on is implementing AI into my workflows. Don’t wanna get left behind

"AI will replace video editors" No. But the required entry-level will be much higher. You should get your foot in the door ASAP.

@editwhizkid_ @mangoster @fucskonoel Standard Operating Procedures. The steps of how the client themself wants the video done, and how to do it

@mangoster @fucskonoel What is SOP?

Why finding a good video editor is such a hard task? Last week I paid for 6 guys to do a video. 4 of them delivered late, and one didn't deliver at all. Out of the 6 editors 5 didn't know what hook variations are. At the end, they had no idea what organic video is, bunch of flashy transitions, bad caption placement + not readable and out of safe-zone. Broll selection is mind blowing and music is too loud compared to VO. etc... It's insane

major cheat code in life: be the one who reaches out. text first. call first. plan first. initialize first. most people wait to be chosen. be the chooser. connection requires initiative. friendship requires effort. love requires action. stop waiting to be picked. start picking. initiative is attractive.

@Osmbproduction Besides the rgb it’s pretty cool. Does it work well?

What do think about my new keyboard 🔥

@copywriter_adam That Epstein connection must’ve helped a lot

Exactly one year ago I was so broke I couldn't buy 1 tomato. -$10 in my bank account. $0 cash in my wallet. I had to take money from my girlfiend's wallet to buy a fucking tomato. And last week I bought a big body benz. God is so great...

@ManhoodDecoded Increasing testosterone increases testosterone

Sunlight increases testosterone. Not eating increases testosterone. Being lean increases testosterone. More sleep increases testosterone. Hot temperature increases testosterone. Lifting heavy things increases testosterone.

@GynthuEditing Definitely. There are plenty of people who get annoyed by an avalanche of animations and effects, they’d rather have it simple and clean

These animations aren't that impressive But being an editor doesn't mean that you create overly complex animations all the time It would be kind of stupid if you ask me The client doesn't always need crazy effects and often it might even negatively affect the video Of course it depends on the situation but it reduces trust, confuses potential clients, and distracts the viewer from what the creator is trying to say Plus it takes more time Sure, perhaps they're needed if you're creating a video for a kids' channel, preview for a SaaS company, or a guru video that is targeting people who are regularly dopamine maxxing But if you're trying to reach a more mature audience in other niches, it might not fit Anyways, here's something I did some time back for a shooting range:

@foxtomb232 Maybe I should start doing that more

@itsthewampus W 🔥

Broke 50k over the weekend💙💙 cheers <3

@itsthewampus Amazing work 🙌

I don't get to do it often, but I still enjoy working on thumbnails from time to time. In another life, I learn graphic design recent projects i think came out not buns:
