Learning shouldn't be so difficult || Embracing the learning curve in video editing
Trying something new shouldn't be so difficult. I am laying on my bed with a slight headache after battling to learn how to use Adobe Premiere Pro.
I wanted to start Vlogging again and this time, I want to be making use of my laptop to edit my videos instead of using my phone. I thought it would be a lot easier but after today, it felt different.
For mobile, I use Power Director to edit my videos and it is very straightforward except that exporting videos can take quite some time and give me some issues.
Another reason why I thought to begin using Adobe Premiere Pro is that I felt I would get exposed to more features in time and improve my video editing game but my first trial is giving me the vibes of running away, of the thoughts that video editing isn't for me.
I know that when you are trying something new, there is always a strong force of resistance towards learning. Because of this knowledge, I am trying not to give up and to push hard.
I have spent over 6 hrs on this premiere Pro trying to understand it. If I was to use my power director, I would have used lesser time. Unfortunately, my laptop went off before I could export the video.
When the electricity is back, I would try to finish up the video and spend some time to finish watching some of the YouTube tutorials I found on the video app.
Anyways, Happy new month family! Welcome to June and I wish you the best this month can offer.

For you to have spent six hours, I am definitely spending the whole day. I love everything attached to video making and pictures but sitting down is a challenge.
My younger brother just started learning and he is very dedicated to the goal. He spend hours in his room trying to do things and I admire that a lot
I believe you will find your way perfectly around the use of the new app and constant practice will do the job.
Well done sir.
Smiles you may even do it in lesser time. Yeah I believe that in time I would get better at using the app.
I just can't wait.
Sir you're really an editor oh
I know how to use power director very well infact I learnt somany features there but on a serious note adobe is very difficult to learn anyways I knew someone who would teach but it also requires you to have a strong system
Kudos in your learning sir
Yeah... I have a friend who can show me a few tricks as well but sometimes he gets busy. But before I meet him, I want him to know that I have gathered so much knowledge myself.
Ya thats great so he won't underestimate you
!LOLZ.
It's the case with every new journey we begin.
Getting knowledge is one thing and experiencing it is another. Things look quite easy when we hear the description. Things become difficult when we try to follow them.
Actually, no matter how well something is explained some hassles and obstacles are never a part of any description. You go through it only when you begin.
I can relate to the frustration of wasting that many hours without the work being completed. But that's how life is. Learning takes time, then it becomes easy.
Wish you good luck 👍
Have a nice day 🌹

Definitely, that's how learning is.
Exactly! most times we might not know how something maybe unless we put our legs in their shoes. I would not think video editing would take this amount of time if someone would have randomly told me before I started editing videos myself.
From experience with learning other stuff, I must say this is true. Hopefully this becomes very easy too.
I am sure it will become easy.
Good luck
Learning something new sometimes doesn't really go smoothly especially when you don't have someone putting through physically. 6 good precious hours spent on this? you are really determined to grasp this knowledge. Hopefully when light returns, with the help of the YouTube tutorial, you can achieve your aim
Well done and happy new month of June🎉
Happy new month Nkemanochi! yeah, I spent a lot of hours that I didn't plan on, that's because I really wanted to learn how to use the software.
But I am better now, and that youtube tutorial, I have not made time yet for it but definitely, I would.
I have used Premiere Pro, DaVinci, Hitfilm and PowerDirector.
I however settled with PowerDirector for fast paced social media content.
Except if you really want to do professional work and client work, prosumer video editors like PowerDirector and even CapCut will do a good job.
You just need to know how it works from start to finish in-depth.
I have made a few short films and countless online videos with PowerDirector as my editing platform.
I have used PowerDirector (PC and Mobile) for both my work and client work more than Premiere Pro in the recent past.
My biggest crunch with Premiere Pro is the fact that it's somewhat separate from After Effects and the 3rd party integrations are sometimes logistically burdensome, especially when it comes to things like stock footages, audio and pictures.
Again you need a very powerful laptop to edit 4k videos on Premiere Pro.
If you think exporting on PowerDirector is slow, I think you might be disappointed when you get to Premiere Pro.
If you subscribe to PowerDirector Premium you have access to at least 5 built in integration platforms for stock content.
And subscription for the mobile version is less than 4k (Naira) quaterly.
Where Premiere Pro surges ahead is in how you can define your edits exactly how you want it. PowerDirector won't create so much tools for that. Premade filters and edits are all you can work with. Colour Grading on something like PowerDirector is like almost non existent.
DaVinci does best in Colour Grading for best value for money and there's a free version for PC.
I don't think you should limit yourself to just Premiere Pro if you really want to dig into pro-editing, except you're biased towards it.
If your laptop is powerful, something like Hitfilm is an all-in-one great editing platform that's usually sidelined. Though you have to pay for features, it's more rounded.
You can also try DaVinci. It's free for a start and is great for learning colour Grading.
I am beginning to get a hand on premier pro since this post was published but I saw shege.
I would have uploaded the video I am editing but my service is so bad. I am seeing another phase of shege.
On the video I applied simple editing tools like volume increase, noise cancellation, color grading, video transitions and adding a background music.
It took some while to get these things but as I was exploring the system app, it got easier.
I haven’t calmly sat to watch a YouTube tutorial yet but when I do I know I would be better on Adobe premier pro.
I would use Adobe premier for some while before I try out Da Vinci Resolve. I feel I would like it.
Yes. Settle in with Premiere Pro. There's a lot that can be done with it. But also know it's just natural to also add After Effects to what you'll learn. They go hand-in-hand.
Premiere pro can appear quite difficult but if you focus on the basics and not try to do anything extra you’ll see that premiere pro is quite easy.
Start by learning to import media, trimming, and transitions, exporting.
When you master these you can now go ahead to learn texting editing and text animations, and zoom control.
Take it one at a time. You can easily give up on premiere pro if you want to learn everything at a go.
You got this. Best of luck champ!
Yeah true, I can say learning the basics is not really difficult. But with the time I have given myself on the software, I feel I am better at it now.
Seems you have great experience in using it. Do you?
I have used it a couple of times before. 😊
It's always frustrating trying to learn something new for the first time but with constant practicing and not giving up, one would understand how to go about it. You really tried spending six hours on something and still do not get, some like me would have given up even though I might want to try again next time.
Happy new month, Starstrings.
I think I have found a new passion that's why I spent so much time on it. It is nice seeing you @princessbusayo. Happy new month to you too!
It's my pleasure coming around too ☺️

That's right, there's always a force of resistance when trying to learn something new and it's natural.
I've been thinking about getting Adobe premiere pro on my laptop but reading this post will make me stick to Capcut for now😂.
Maybe you should watch YouTube video course around 20 minutes and above. You will surely find one that will teach almost everything you need to know on Adobe Premiere Pro
