Like they recently added a new fucking bar at the top of the screen for 'import/edit/export' and you can't remove it. I do like their constant improvements, while Adobe seems to just add more stuff in the way. Maybe there's an option for that in Resolve, but I helped a buddy edit a video and he only uses Resolve, and I couldn't find it. I much prefer Adobe's implementation, where it's a separate window for key frames rather than built into the timeline itself. It was nice to have more After Effects style capabilities baked in rather than having to have a separate program like After Effects, but I hated how the key frames worked. I got 300$ for a week job 10hours/day and was a newbie

If you're not a pain in the ass or gross, it puts you a head and shoulders over more than half of other editors out there even if you're not all that talented Just keep working as much as you can, shrug it off if you get cut loose from some projectsĪ lot of clients get bristly if you try to raise your rate on them, so basically see any new client as an opportunity to slowly give yourself a raise Working on these jobs gives you a way to meet producers who will recommend you for other projects/shows - your number one goal should be growing your network Lots of development stuff and corporate stuff just needs an editor but doesn't pay a ton, but these will be your 'foot in the door' opportunities Start taking jobs under producers via staffing websites like Staff Me Up, a lot of producers have a single show they return to every year and a bunch of small side projects that are perpetually in development
