Video Editing As A Hobby 📹

Have you ever wondered how Youtubers make those epic videos? Well today I'm not going to show you! That did not make sense Today instead of making another crummy editing tutorial, I will be going one step back and giving my advice on video editing as a hobby. Interested? Read on! 


My opinion on if you should take editing up as a hobby


“Video editing is both a rewarding profession and useful skill for personal use.” This statement which is quoted from the American Graphics Institute’s website details why I do video editing as a hobby. I use video editing as both a way to express myself and to pass time. I usually make little edits to show to my friends at school or to upload onto my youtube channel called Beavermon. So should you take up video editing? Well the choice is up to you, but I do recommend doing it as learning video editing comes with quite a lot of benefits. For example, I learned how to cross share large files between a mac to an iphone and that to a hp laptop. I also learned how to convert videos into mp3’s and how to use color palettes in text. Overall, learning video editing is a great thing to do. 


What do I use to edit my videos? 


Me and video editors have a long history together, I started video editing with iMovie on my mom’s iphone 8 plus. After that, I started to use Movavi, I had no problem with the watermark as I was just playing around with the software and putting effects onto clips. That was the real deal, I thought, “what if I buy Movavi premium and use it to edit some of my videos?” It worked marvelously, I used 300$ (HKD) that I got from good test results to buy the Movavi Premium pass and done! I could create new no watermark high quality videos for my Youtube channel! And that’s what I use to this day. I might switch to Davinci Resolve one day but for now I'm pretty happy. 


Why did I take up video editing? 


I took up video editing by mistake. I was in XiaMen (A city in China) and I scored my first ever overseas ice hockey goal. It was amazing and my mom who happened to be recording used iMovie to put Despacito over the clip (it was like 2016 ok) I asked my mom how she did it and she introduced me to iMovie. And then you know the rest. I stuck to the hobby because there is always something new to do whether it be new filters or a new trend to do. I also have a confession to make: 9.477235636758432678324645350923% of why I decided to pick up video editing is to show off to my friends and family. (😅) In addition to all of that, video editing also lets me express my own opinion in a creative and unique manner. 


Conclusion:

All in all, I think that taking up video editing as a hobby is an extremely beneficial hobby to take up and I strongly encourage you (if you have the time) to give it a try. That’s just my opinion on it so if you have a different view that's fine! See you in the next post!

My trip to New York City and Miami

  On July 1st, I departed on my first vacation in 2 years with my mom and dad. We went to New York and Miami. It was a rollercoaster of events and I had a lot of fun. Today I will be showing my opinion on both cities and going over what I did in both of them.  Just from the get go, I will be rating the cities on a livability and comfort scale (from the perspective of a tourist).  New York City: In terms of being a tourist in Manhattan, it's not a pretty sight. After I first checked in to the hotel and went on a quick walk around I saw the following.  Masses of weed trucks that were presented as candy trucks, homeless/sketchy people lying around the street (some of them even were polite enough to approach me to ask for money), human/animal excrement everywhere, reckless drivers and bikers, and by far the most detrimental thing: The Subway. I have been on this earth for 13 years and nothing has shook me to my core as much as the New York subway. The sheer smell and condition that som

A Brief History of Discord

                                                                                       With so many free methods of communication today, such as Whatsapp, Messenger and Telegram, it's hard to think that a new app would pop out of nowhere and revolutionize the gaming, messaging and calling industry. That app is Discord.  Early Beginnings:  Discord was invented by Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevsky, on May 13 2015.   (6 years ago!) Both Jason and Stanislav were skilled software designers and they went on to found Hammer and Chisel Inc, a game development company. Hammer and Chisel launched their first game on July 3 2014 called Fates Forever. After a while, both Jason and Stanislav found that they wanted to chat with people/friends outside of gaming So Discord was born.  The Big Switch:  At first, Discord was just a side project started by Jason and Stanislav for enjoyment but they recognized the potential of the idea after they realised that the Fates Forever chat function was s

Zimbabwe Hyperinflation

      Zimbabwe Hyperinflation Note: The Monopoly example will be based on the Hong Kong version of Monopoly.  Let's say that you are playing Monopoly with your friends Tom and James. Tom has the most money in the game, James is doing decent and you are struggling financially after a few major setbacks. After a while, you land on a hotel owned by Tom. The future looks bleak until both Tom and James both have to go to the toilet. You have three choices to save your game; 1. Leave the room. 2. Take your chance with the dice and hope for the best. Or, you could choose to print more money. (option 3) Let's say that you choose to print more money. You go to the printer and print ten more five hundred dollar bills. You now have over 5 times the amount needed to buy the most expensive property on the board, The Peak.  Now with your newfound riches, you turn the tables and you become the richest and most powerful player. After an hour, a new development has occurred, everyone now has mo
