Premiere through the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite is also a good option for the freelance editor. Photoshop and AfterEffects are good tools to learn the basics on as well – definitely beneficial to the single video editor on small gigs. Resolve would be free though as AE 1 mentioned vs Adobe Creative Cloud has a licensing fee per month.

Davinci Resolve is a free software that allows you to transcode, edit, and color your footage before export. I have not used Resolve to edit, but I imagine it is more powerful than iMovie.

The software has been around long enough that there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube. Good luck!

Appreciate the advice AE 1 and 2! Thanks much!

I ultimately am piecing together video, photo/still images, and sound into short films. I’m a total amateur and this is more for fun/creative expression than for money. I’ve been using only iMovie for this to date but want to upgrade my video skills and tools. What software or other video editing tools would you recommend for this sort of thing, for a complete novice /amateur to pick up and learn? Or any workshops or classes? My main “skill” is the interviewing and story telling, so I need to learn the video/photography/editing and upgrade my skills in that area. Again, this is a side gig/hobby I’m doing mostly for personal reasons. THANK YOU for any advice.

Thank you, I’ll check that out

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx

I went from agency to in house PR 1.5 years ago (I’m at a prof services firm in nyc). There are no boundaries for communication; everyone is expected to answer emails immediately at all hours and senior people respond in minutes between about 7am-11pm, at minimum. Is this normal in the corporate, non agency world? Not sure if this is just due to the pandemic and WFH, but I was under the impression that in house life would be more chill.

Hi Editors!
What did your transition from AE to editor look like?

5 months ago I joined an advertising post house as a full-time AE. Through the support of a lead editor at the company I found my way into making cuts for the company’s most prestigious client. At this point, I’ve been the sole editor of one global campaign and a co-editor of another, in addition to cutting many social media videos. It’s only 5 months but I can’t help feel that my title doesn’t reflect the work I actually do.
