I've been editing for 23 years, and 15 years professionally. One thing has not changed: the story and the pace are the two most important factors to an edit. Flash transitions are fun, but they won't get you jobs. If you want to become an editor, this video is for you. This is a conversation I had with a new editor, right from the ground up. To become a great editor, you should start with a great foundation. That's what this video will help you with.

We are going back to the basics with this one. Even if you are further along in your editing career, but you're still relatively new, make sure you watch this video all the way through.

It's important to note that this is NOT strictly an Adobe Premiere video. All of these things that we go over are principals, meaning every editing software is going to have similar features that you're going to have to consider. So if you're a Da Vinci editor, I still recommend watching this video because you will definitely take some things away from it to keep in your back pocket.

Personally, I use Da Vinci and Premiere Pro. They serve different purposes for me. If you're a new editor, I recommend using whatever is cheapest, which is obviously the free version of Da Vinci. Final Cut is also a great option.
