Has anyone taken this class before. What’s it really about?

Just started grad school back in spring. Received a email stating that I’ve been over awarded which seems odd as I didn’t receive it in the spring, but I’m assuming because I’m only registered for one class. Unfortunately that’s the only class available this summer as all the other courses that I need for my masters happens in the fall spring semesters.

So over the past 10 years I have been slowly acquiring gear learning , networking and dropping videos Online and started taking it serious back in 2018 when I started college. To the point I had the setup for any type of content I needed to shoot. Got good at photography as well. But life keep hitting me back and forth so started work part time jobs to pay for school while still learning and recording on the side. Never really figured out my niche. And just winged it for whatever I was interested in at the moment. Then came Covid and I was nearly outside every day catching and recording every and anything the good the bad and the ugly. Some of my videos and pictures even went on the news. The rest of the content just sitting in the hard drives. Fast forward I moved to Miami in 2022 to finish school cause mentally there was no progress for me in my hometown. From there my content skills blew up tremendously. Made so much connections, shot videos , tik toks , music videos , vlogs and even streams for others. But it came down to the same problem. I do this for everyone else except myself. I graduated last summer. And just moved back to my hometown temporarily. And realized this week. I really haven’t achieved anything content wise and I’m sitting on 4.200 gb yes 4.2TB of content. Some containing never before seen behind the scene footage of some music artists who are now famous and blown up worldwide And I’m just lost and somewhat disappointed in myself.
I’ve been trying to edit some videos to upload on social medias, but None seem to fit the current timeline we’re in. Or would make sense for a part 2 or3 video to be made. And I’m overthinking think wanting for them to come out perfect and never finish. And yet, As we speak, I record myself Mini vlogs per day, knowing I probably won’t upload. I just want to know what steps should I take? Of course I know the option of hiring video editors. I know about a dozen of them, but they’re all charging high. Some are even charging almost 5 grand just to edit them. But that’s out of my budget. I have videos that were all potential niches I wanted to move towards . Car content, underground content like vice , tourism content, behind the scenes music content were the most successful as some of my videos on YouTube reached 1.1 million views and gave me most of my subscribers but that was 2023 and the views have since declined I just don’t know where to begin to revive the channel. One of my friends back in Miami recommend I start streaming. But seems impossible for me as I’m staying at my parents house right now.
