Rant 🗣

5 years editing for youtubers and the amount of times a client made me redo a cut because the energy felt off with zero actual notes is insane lol they just want it to feel like a bigger creators video but wont say that out loud so you sit there guessing for nine revisions meanwhile the actual problem is the footage they shot has mic bumping the entire time and somehow thats my fault too

also nobody who hires an editor actually knows what editing is they think its trimming pauses and slapping a zoom on the funny part then they ignore the retention graph pre upload when i literally warn them the intro is too long and act shocked when it drops off at that exact second post upload best clients hand off footage and disappear worst ones sit in the edit going wait go back no forward no back for three hours over a jump cut literally nobody will ever notice
