I’ve been editing videos for a while now (mostly short-form content — Reels/TikToks) but I feel like I’ve hit a plateau. I want to level up and actually get good, not just “decent.”
A few things I’m trying to figure out:
On the skills side:
• What are the most impactful editing techniques I should focus on first? (pacing, cuts, color grading, sound design…)
• Are there specific exercises or challenges you did that actually made a noticeable difference?
• Any YouTube channels, courses, or creators you’d recommend for learning seriously?
On the practice side:
• Where do you guys get footage to practice on when you don’t have your own?
• Free stock sites are cool but the clips feel generic — is there a better way to get raw, cinematic footage to work with?
• Did any of you re-edit existing films/music videos just to practice? Is that a good method?
I’m using DaVinci Resolve mainly, but open to any advice regardless of the software.
Would really appreciate any honest feedback from people who’ve been through this grind. Thanks

Looking for a skilled & reliable individual who can help me find the very best moment in my 2-3 hour stream VODs and edit it into 5-60 second youtube shorts or tiktok with subtitle.

I need 9 clips per month, I pay $20 per clips and it's a ongoing long term work. I am a small twitch streamer and my content is mostly variety just chatting/reacts and some gaming occasionally. Core skillset I am looking for is ruthless discipline(you need to give me 2 clips ON TIME every week or you're out) and having a strong eye for viral worthy moment. You need to redo the clip and turnover fast (in 24hours) if you make mistakes and the clip is truly bad. You will get $5-10 bonus if the clip go viral, and you will get more work and get paid more as we grow.

Send me a dm here with your previous work if you are interested and you think you got what it takes, I only work with people who are TRULY reliable and have prior track record to back that up, any irrelevant dm or dm without work attached will be ignored. Have a great day guys!
