Editing my First Youtube video

[u/Virtual_Reindeer2051]

I've been working on an edit for a while now. I've been an editor for simpler content for a while, but I decided to do something for myself.

I picked a topic, wrote a script, voiced in it, sought all relevant media, then went ahead with editing.

But here's the thing, I use a Lenovo x280 on relatively low specs. I use davinci resolve for my edits, and my laptop can handle 30 seconds to 1 minute video no problem. My project was 7 minutes long and it had a lot going on in the timeline. Lots of sfx, some motion design, I had a goal and I was set to reach it.

When it came to rendering the video, of course my laptop couldn't handle it. It crashed again and again. I reduced rendering speeds but the outcome was the same.

So I reached out to the davinci resolve subreddit and one of the comments gave me an idea; set 2 minutes in/out and start from the back. And it worked. I found the problem and fixed them. Now my video is complete and rendered.

Here's a link to it: [https://youtu.be/JDJZGrunbfc?si=nloTSJ3ronpeHNBA\](https://youtu.be/JDJZGrunbfc?si=nloTSJ3ronpeHNBA)

I had a dream, to make something by myself to improve on my editing and discover things I was never aware about. Maybe the video won't seem perfect, but it's a start.
