If I had one whole month, with everything provided and I have the chance to pick a skill to learn, guess what I would go for..... Video Editing. It is that one skill I have been eyeing for a while now, it is that one skill that’s silently running the world of content creation.
Everywhere you go, you will definitely find someone making content. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and all, everyone has now turned into a content creator. Even my neighbor who happens to be a puff-puff seller has stepped up, she's now a YouTuber teaching people how to make puff-puff and some other snacks, including my tailor friend, she's now a teacher on YouTube, doing various videos and teaching people how to go about certain designs ..And what are the secrets behind all these people.....? Clean, sharp video edits. And, most of these people pay others to edit their videos since they don't know how to. But me? I want to be that person people pay to edit for them, while also doing and editing my own contents.
Going into content creation has been on my mind lately, I have watched countless videos, I have sent people do little or nothing at all, and they are making waves, well that's not what I want, I really want to do something, something impactful. And, I already have a lot of ideas, creative ideas at that, all flying in my head. I really want to start. But how do I go about it, aside from money amd a good phone...how do I remove background noise, how do I perfectly join/merge various scenes together, how do I add external videos, how do I cut, how do I add sounds....and a whole lot. All those get me frustrated, and I really want to know how to....
But one month, with a laptop, a professional content maker, YouTuber and video editor....and every other thing I will be needing. I promise you to give it my all. By the end of the month I’ll have become a beast at what I do. I’ll learn transitions, cut out unnecessary parts, add captions, sounds, effects, hooks and all. I will be a professional.
This skill isn't just useful for content creation alone.....Churches, schools, vendors, caterers, and all need video editors. Everybody, every business, every party, every shop needs someone that can help turn raw footage into magic. I want to be that someone.
And I won’t just learn it for fun or for learning sake, I’ll package myself and start making money from it. In Nigeria, any skill that can bring in money is not a joke o.... it's all about being financially independent.
So, give me one month, a laptop, a professional at Video Editing and content creation and everything that I need, and watch as I not just navigate but edit my way into greatness.
