I’ve been into video editing for about a year and a half now, and it’s honestly one of the creative things I enjoy most. Over time, I’ve gotten a solid feel for what works and what doesn’t, and while I know nothing’s ever going to be 100% perfect, I always try to keep my videos clean, smooth, and entertaining. I’m big on making things visually neat and easy to watch—no jarring cuts or awkward transitions—because I want people to stay engaged the whole way through.
I use Adobe Express as my go-to editing platform. It’s simple but effective, and it gives me enough creative freedom to shape the video how I want without bogging me down with too many complicated settings. For the kind of editing I do, it works great. Whether I’m throwing together something quick or spending a little more time finessing the details, Adobe Express lets me stay efficient while still doing good work.
When it comes to speed, I’ve gotten pretty quick. On average, I can edit a 15-minute video in about 20 to 30 minutes. Sometimes it’s faster, sometimes I take more time depending on how busy things are or how complicated the footage is. But I’ve found a good balance between speed and quality, and I’m always learning new tricks to make the process even smoother. It’s kind of become second nature at this point—just fire up the project, figure out the rhythm, and start cutting.
I’ve edited everything from casual content to roleplay-style videos, and each project feels a little different. I like the challenge of figuring out how to make each one flow the right way—what music fits, what moments should stand out, and how to keep it visually interesting without overdoing it. Even when it’s something simple, I still want it to have a clean look and feel intentional.
The cool part is that even after doing this for a while, I’m still improving. I notice little things now that I probably wouldn’t have a few months back—like where to trim a clip for better pacing or how to layer effects without making them distracting. It’s definitely a creative outlet for me, and I always look forward to the next edit.
