Great talk with lots of takeaways... Big takeaway for me was giving yourself an out as an editor ala obligations etc as I've pulled 17hr plus edit sessions in the past as editing is my favourite thing to do and when you get in that flow state with the creative juices flowing it's always hard to walk away (intended irony ha ha) but I've also suffered back pain as a result so I've come to realise with age that life balance is very important and with it, time management. Another great video and I loved that you both graciously gave time to the other by not talking over each other or trying to finish the others thought etc.

Wow! Tony what a genuinely beautiful authentic video, I was hooked from the start, whilst hooking up a 2nd monitor and playing this just made me stop at times and sit, as the emotion involved and your genuine life appreciation for things that have happened on your journey thus far. Awesome gratitude! Your channel deserves way more traction but you know what you're doing et all... Hope you don't throw the towel in as yes it's undervalued, for now, maybe not always and your content is quality. Your sincerity of making a channel of quality rather than chasing subs, likes etc to create financial gain shines through. I stumbled on to your channel as I too have found anomalies sourcing editing work on YTJobs, things that just didn't add up ala project vagueness and $1000 to refer someone etc. I find it bizarre that some people supply links to give you a walk through on how they do their videos, as I believe in your quote of, a good editor should be able to watch content and know how certain things were achieved and if they've never created that certain effect, they should know how it can be done. Thank you for this video and others that I've watched today AND have an awesome day!🙂

😍😍😍

I can't edit very well myself mostly because i can't get the motivation to do it so i'm looking into getting a editor and im not sure how much to offer. It's mostly nice little touches like subtitles, effects, some keyframing on some things if i specify that i need emphasis on it but it may become more common but i will probably experiment with it a little. I dont think i will ask for any revisions because any editing that's better than mine will be good and I'll be open to any ideas my editor has to make the video entertaining. the more basic editing like combing through footage, adding the voiceover, the end screen and screenshots on screen will be done by me so how much should i offer for 1 hour of footage generally? I only wan to make 1 video a month for now and make more in the future. i do want to offer a good pay but i can only go up to about $200 tops

GeorgeNotFound female version :/

I just started my KZfaq channel for the third time…every time in the past I’ve burned out so thanks for sharing… Your words made me feel heard in someway

what are u showing is irrelevant

Hey tony.. we need more crazy stuff .. subbed✌️👌 🇱🇰

What to do about scammers? All i encountered on facebook was people saying they will pay huge more then hundreds of dollars for small edits

these vids are super useful thank you!!

this amazing podcast or interview. i liked it very well, don't be discourage about the view it gets you guys are cool

Wow, just found this video and want to say a huge thank you to you and Mariah for sharing her experience as a female video editor at the most well-known tech channel! I am also a video editor, working on videos for 3 channels now (on of our channels is 'TheFigCo', and it was useful to know about experience in MKBHD team, workflow and work life balance. I'm only 1 year in this profession, never thought I end up as a video editor, but it was always my passion. Our 2 editors are using DaVinci Resolve, and I'm the only one who loves FinalCut and I'm grateful that it's okay haha :) So thank you! That's an interesting journey and so unusual that Mariah has like a 9-5 normal schedule. I personally work remotely but I love it, built my own discipline so now I can handle my tasks. And also trying to fit my own youtube channel into this schedule )

will the 24 gb ram be enough for heavy editing and graphics?

This gonna be a banger fr

Thank you.

Amazing video! It might be the editing style, but I think it would be nice to see more personality in your interviews. Right now, it feels like I'm reading a blog post or a Q&A with very little interaction between you and your guests. There's a lack of reactions, laughs, or personality. I watched until the end because the questions were really interesting and detailed-great job on that! However, adding these extras would add more color and make longer videos like this more fun and engaging to watch. The Colin & Samir channel is a great example of what I'm describing. Thank you for this video again, Tony!

Bro your videos are awesome and informative, even the video quality is fabulous i am inspired by your editing and content. Keep pushing yourself . We are supporting you, love from India ❤

Great interview Tony, glad to see the exposure of a talent editor like Raya, and her opinion of a healthy work-life balance. Keep it up!

Thank you for this video! I am going through the same thing as an editor, and I am currently burned out. I have no idea how to get out of it, but I start having issues with starting to work at all: from someone who worked 12+hr a day to not getting started; if I take a weekend off to work on my personal life stuff then I am almost behind with work; I don't sleep well nor enough, and then I have a rush and I do in one day what I didn't do in 3 days but then I am having a hard time again. Trying to find a balance now too- hope you are better and if you got any thoughts on how to balance things let me know!

Did avid is a paid software

Thank you for making this! 🙏🏾💕

Hey!!!So much going on here … subscribed🎉……

Hi can you make a vid reacting to showreels to show us what kind of showreels is at what level and what we need to focus in showreels

Appreciate the very informative video!

90% you talking about Tom. 10% Mariah. What a waste.

around the 17:40 mark you talk too much about yourself. no offence but I didnt click this video for that.

You’re a great interviewer, Tony. You ask good questions and you let them talk without interrupting.

Awesome digest Tony! I can feel the pain you experienced while filming this video😁 Reading all those "job offers" is tough, I receive similar stuff at least a few times per week too. Your advice is great for beginners, at least they will know what to expect and what to instantly ignore. Next time, don't stop yourself from swearing while reading all those examples!

I like her

Great content! Well done.

Definitely want to know how they all handle notes?

I'm bit confused b/w Mac Mini m2 16/512 And Costome buile pc 👇 Processor: Intel Core i7 12700K (12 Cores, 20 Threads, Up to 5.0 GHz) with Intel UHD 770 Graphics Motherboard: MSI Pro Z790-A WiFi RAM: 32GB XPG Lancer RGB White 6000MHz DDR5 CL30 Graphics Card: Inno3D GeForce RTX 3050 Twin X2 8GB GDDR6 SSD: 512GB Gen 4 XPG S70 Blade (Read/Write speeds upto 7400/6800MBps) Power Supply: Deepcool PK550 550 Watts 80+ Bronze Power Supply I want it for video editing(davinci). which one one i should be going for ?

thanks!

Your math is correct but location is wrong, buddy. These numbers are not for you or for me but for cheap guys from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan etc. They are killing the market. They can even edit one 10 minutes video for 10 dollars including giving the project file to customer. These remote jobs killed the industry. I am a video editor myself. I started in 1997 with IMMIX TurboCube which probably you don't even heard before. Then I edited with Video Toaster, 601, Avid, Premiere, Quantel Harry, DPS Velocity, Vegas, FCP. Now I am making money from video QA for a big player. Again, these numbers are not for people living in a 1st world country. Example: A subsidiary of United Nations offered 1000 dollars to a friend of mine for a very complicated video editing project. Of course she rejected. If they could, they would go to India, they can find people to do that job for 50 dollars, trust me. But they will find someone willing to do that maybe for a lower price. Why? They do not care about quality and they do not know what quality is. Back then, software and hardware was expensive. An NLE suite price was starting from 100.000 dollars. Just because of price drop, everyone considers themselves video editors. No sir, you are not. You are an idiot who knows how to use a software. You are not an editor. You are an idiot with a computer. Cheap software, cheap hardware, cheap people. That's it.

Thanks for the video, dear, do you think mac mini m2 ram8 will work for editing 4k 60fps iphone13 videos with premiere? Or am I bothered because of the RAM? Each project is 30 to 70 gigs (about 3 hours) of raw data, which takes about 15 minutes and less than 2 gigs. Thank you for your guidance🙏♥️

Thank you! I love your content, very helpful. Thanks you so much, Tony. From South Korea.

Super helpful video!! I'm just getting started and this gets me so pumped!

God was leading you brother!

Tony - thank you for sharing your journey brother! I'm just getting started and this is super helpful to hear!

What Motion Graphics software do you use and what do you recommend for beginners Great

As a video editor whose just starting off on their KZfaq journey, this video along with others of yours that I’ve watched have been really inspirational and beneficial. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you the best in reaching all of your goals.

Hearing Nix's creative journey makes me nostalgic of my own. It's interesting how being "ready" for opportunity can lead to so many fulfilling experiences.

Pay per video is a joke. The sad thing is the worst paid gigs often times comes with the most delusional egotistical psychos running the show lol.

Ah nice, I was wondering when this episode would drop. Excited to listen through it. Keep up the hard work Tony.

thank you so much for this video tony. i have the base 8g ram m2 mini with a 2 tb external hard drive to keep the mini as "empty" as possible. i purchased it for the obvious basic browsing, normal home use. but recently my family have been taking more vacations and i was thinking of buying an action camera. would my base mac mini be ok just to edit short 5-10 min 1080p, 1440p or possibly 4k family adventure/vacation videos on imovie?

Great interview and great interview questions!

Nice Video

Please someone tell can i have devinci resolve free version on this apple mac mini base version

She needs Resolve.

Kind of surprised she said Final Cut has zero support for audio. I work for a media company that primarily used logic for everything and we use Final Cut solely because it plays so nicely with logic for audio. There are some great audio tools in Final Cut
