Video editing is a skill that requires practice. Editing a project for a class is different than editing a short film for a festival. There are a few ways you can practice different types of editing to sharpen your video editing skills.
A great way to practice editing is to make a theatrical trailer for something you are interested in. Whether it is a television show, book, YouTube channel, or a movie that’s already out, you can create your own creative theatrical trailer for it. This can be a fun way to experiment with editing styles and put your own creative spin on a franchise.
Another great way to sharpen your editing skills is to create memes for something you are interested in. I know, most people wouldn’t think creating memes would be a good way to sharpen editing skills. However, creating them can help teach you the techniques you want to learn. It can help you learn effects, transitions, layers, and different text add ons.
You can create edits of things you are interested in to sharpen your editing skills. You can create summaries of movies or shows, point out every time a character does something iconic, or create your own “best of _” videos. This will help you go through the footage and use transitions.
There are a few fun ways you can practice video editing to sharpen your skills. You don’t have to share them with anyone if you don’t want to, they are to help you practice. What videos would you make to help sharpen your skills?
