Plus a HUGE announcement! If you’re reading this then there’s a good chance you’re either a full-time video editor looking to take the leap to freelance, or you’re looking to start a career in video editing but you can’t decide whether to start as a freelancer or take a full-time job. In this episode of The Video Editing Podcast, I share my journey from 2006 to compare the two options and give my opinion as to which is better. If you're quick you may be able to join the 5-Day Commercial Editing Challenge. For only £10 you get:- Access to raw footage to practice editing (that you get to keep) - Daily training for 5 days that guides you through the steps of editing a commercial - Daily Q&A with a professional commercial editor - Prizes to help you improve your editing and rocket boost your career  The challenge starts on July 27th 2022 and on each of the 5 days of the challenge you'll learn the steps to take to cut a commercial.
