NEET with limited resources here. I want to learn a valuable /film/ related skill. I thought about learning editing but all the beginners seem to be filming their own footage to learn. I don't have a camera, can I learn by tinkering with existing footage from films and YouTube?
My laptop is pretty bottom tier as well. Ryzen 5 3500u processor and 8GB RAM. Should I get into editing or try something like Graphic design?

editing is a soul sucking job, try something else
>try something else
What would you reccomend? With so many content creators, shouldn't you be making a lot?
for every 1 content creator there's 100 editors
The market is WAAAAAAY over saturated. Don’t bother. You won’t find work.
Ah...that's disappointing anon. Anything you'd personally suggest.
The devil is tricking you maggot.
Idk, you could sell weed
This
Look up the labor statistics you fricking loser.
How about I spray you with Holy Water Satan?
How about I cut your ugly prostitute mother in half and dance in her blood?
I knew you were the cursed one. Make no mistake I will gouge your eyes out, flay you alive and then spray you with boiling holy water. Your obliteration would be delicious.
See you soon.
still better than being just a neet
if op's interested in this stuff then he should do it
Nope.
If you’re in your 20s and a neet and you want to pick up something like this you need to realise you will never make it in the industry or get a job out of it. Do this shit for your own personal enjoyment as a hobby or just something to be creative in some way.
Late 20s :/. I justed wanted to know if I can learn something interesting while having the possibility of creating a career out of it.
Not trying to be rude but don’t bother. I did it for 8 years and it was insanely competitive and the pay was abysmal.
What do you do right now anon?
I work for a production company where I basically set up meetings for a living. It’s great.
how is graphic design film related? do you mean something else?
why don't you learn how to shut your frickin' mouth
Hey anon, actua editor here. Your best bet is to do video game edits on fiver until you save enough money to edit. Dont listen to these moronic clowns here. Most “editors” are 14 year olds editing on there phone, so if you have vegas and slight ambition to learn editing you’re gonna be better then 90% of competition right off the bat. Now its gonna take a while to get enough money (around 1k) to afford a decent camera, so Me personally, i wagecucked to buy a soney a6400 and a couple of lenses (around 1700 all together) and started doing music videos. Any small town is gonna have a bunch of shitty rappers who will pay 300 for a music video, but most towns dont have someone willing to do it, so honestly its a pretty safe market to get into. I currently do music videos, editing, family/ wedding photography on the side and make like an extra 1500 a month from that 1700 investment. It is 100% worth it anon, it’ll probably be a while before it will replace wagecucking for me, but business continues to grow as I get more clients. Much better then going to college and getting some gay ass 9-5
You tried.

That's actually decent. Have you tried working with YouTubers?
I haven’t really tried working with youtubers. Its hard to get in contact with decent sized youtubers, and Unless its a formal thing like fiver im not going to trust some random dude online to actually pay me.

I don't worry in editing, I'm in another creative field, but Fiverr is an ABSOLUTE race to the bottom. Pointless if you're in any western nation. You are literally competing against third world country exchange rates. An Indian WILL do your work for cheaper, and make more money because it's more viable in his country.
I studied graphic design. You won't get a job in it unless you spent 4 years getting a BA and have a shit load of work to put on your portfolio. The market is saturated with Indians designing generic logos for $5.
heres an idea:
take old documentary footage and re-dub it to tell a different story. alternate history for example.
also get a part-time wagie job. do both of these, now you have an interesting hobby and employment
Can some1 review my editing skills? AMD FX 6300, RX480 with 16 GB of ram.
>all the beginners seem to be filming their own footage to learn
Might be like programming where you'll learn much faster if the end product is of interest to you.
Editing isn't terribly hard to learn, especially if you can grasp concepts like photo editing and working with those kinds of tools. As for starting with existing footage I'd definitely recommend that. Also if you're worried about computing power restraints, I'd look into a program called VSDC free video editor. It's not the greatest but I'd rank it up there with GIMP compared to Adobe, and it's very easy on processing power, I think I have it on a crappy old commercial laptop with a garbage vid card and 4 gigs of ram, and I've done 1080p vids on it. Short ones at least, so don't quote me on that.
Would you say you have a good career?
Lucky you.
I used to do it on a power pc
graphics is mainly posters and advertising in the job market, you will just be using in design and stock
