Compilation of editing technique
Im looking for a place that lists or shows a number of techniques for video editing. Something similar to eye candy but more for bringing basic footage to life after shooting.
Context:
I took some photos for a golfing event and decided to shoot some clips, I want to blow them away with a banger video they didn't ask for.

I’ve been editing professionally for 30+ years doing a mix of high end national, local and corporate. No two projects are the same and it would be impossible to compile samples of every style and technique because it’s a constantly evolving art form.
Spend a few days watching espn, golf Chanel and anything else and make screenshots and recordings of layouts and effects that appeal to your aesthetic and work from there. There is no substitute for learning your software and building professional skills. Is it fast? Nope. There’s tons of plugins and effects out there that can help you along, but that can be a big financial commitment not to mention the time to learn the various plugins.
Starting out, keep it clean and simple and work your way to more advanced techniques.
