When I decided to work online, my first choice was video content creation. However, I did not have any skills in video content creation, therefore, I started offering web and app development and design services. Nevertheless, my desire for video content creation did not die. Thus, I also started building content on youtube, tiktok, facebook and instagram. With limited skills (amateur skills) it is really difficult to succeed, therefore, I am thinking to learn video editing. If you want to do video editing, the first thing you need to do is learn adobe premiere, or other similar video editing software. If you don't have skills with video editing software, there is no way you can succeed as a video content creator. You also need animation skills because you need to do a lot of animations while editing videos. There are easy-to-use programs that make jobs easier but these programs are incomplete.
