It might sound silly in a world where we consume more and more videos, whether in the form of reels, YouTube, or series. This new generation seems to have been born already making TikToks hahahaha.
That said, I've always been curious about learning how to edit. It's one of those things you always wanted to do, but never had a clear reason to start. Since I've been helping my wife with her social media, I ended up helping with the editing of some videos, and that became the push I needed.
The feeling of learning something new is really good. I had honestly forgotten how nice that feeling is. You think of something, don't know how to do it, you research, try, fail, try again, and after a while, you get it. This kind of fulfillment is something we seem to be losing more and more. Today we spend a lot of time just consuming empty content on social media, and recovering this learning process has been very positive for me.
While editing, I realized it goes way beyond simply knowing how to use a tool. You need to think about the script, the message you want to convey. I had to find some inspiration on TikTok and reels to better learn this process, and it has been a great experience.
And that's it. I still don't quite know how to wrap up this text, but I'll be back soon with updates. For now, I've learned to do the basics well, the bread and butter, in DaVinci Resolve. The idea is to keep evolving, to keep learning, and maybe in the future to create my own YouTube channel about technology.
