You need training. It's not just about putting clips together.
If you can't get a teacher go for YouTube videos starting from the basics of whatever software you want to use.

Yes, they'll help. I don't train.
Go for Adobe premiere cs 5 or cs 6. The price can range from 5k upwards. Depends on who you're getting it from. You can still get it less.

hello fam!
I know this thread has gone cold but I just have a quick enquiry to make.
I want to go into video editing as a career. I plan to learn on my own using YouTube tutorials. hopefully after that I can get jobs somewhere to gain experience (sort of informal internship). these are just ideas I have in mind and I don't know how possible this will be.
so I'm throwing the question out here to those already in the field. what career path should I take and how possible will it be to implement my ideas mentioned above?
thanks in advance

Hey just get yourself a blazing PC, a superbrite crystal clear high-res monitor (prefarably CRT for precision), good eyes and ADOBE PREMIERE PRO 1.5/2.0 which available on the internet (via bit-torrent) for free download (see zoozle.com) so don't spend tah-tah on any video editing software. Liquid Edition is also a good shot but the DON is Premiere!

GOOD LUCK!!!

You'll need a powerful personal computer and video editing software at least.

Re: To Become A Video Editor by anonymousthug(m): 8:26am On Apr 18
Ignore anyone that recommend any software that is not...

Premiere
After Effects
Davinci Resolve.

Also, editing takes time before you can master the craft, so be patient. Funny how I started with what I had back then until I decided to go Pro. All the best young lad
