If you want to follow editing trends then look to the creators that started it. Watch as much of it as possible and break down how they achieved it.

Editors won't be replaced by AI, they will be replaced by editors that use AI. AI is a new tool, like many that are constantly popping up. It's in your best interest to learn and adopt them if you want to stay relevant.

Week 2 Affect Effects project for Jake Bartlett's AE course. Combining the loop-in + loop-out expressions was really helpful in animating the planets 🪐

Some practice with the Parallax technique in After Effects, adding some depth and motion to 2D images. Another project part of Jake Bartlett's After Effects Course. 🚀

Some futuristic UI creation in After Effects.

Re-edited a video intro from one of my favorite creators Corey Wilks, Psy.D.. If you're into how psychology intersects with content creation and online business check out his YouTube channel and newsletter.

Practice alone is NOT the best way to get better at video editing. If practice was all you needed to be good, then cooking 3 meals a day would make us all Gordon Ramsey! So, what did Gordon have that made him such a great chef?

One of my very first animations. A castle animating up from the ground. Designed in illustrator and animated in After Effects.

Playing around with some Peggy Miles style motion graphics, inspired by a tutorial from Mapal.

Some random After Effects practice inspired by Chinese New Year. Anyone know how to animate fire effectively? 😅

Practicing some logo animation, pretty happy with how it turned out.

Before/After, of one of the first edits I created a while ago. DM me if you're looking to create animated shorts.
