This post got me: 7 video editing clients $1,000+ of revenue Brand recognition Let me explain how. When Among Us was the most popular game on YouTube there was a huge demand for video editors for all the new content. I positioned myself with a simple strategy to outdo all the other editors. Creating my own editing style that no other editor had done at the time I set myself out from other editors in the eyes of clients. I created animated characters to for each person playing to identify who they are and make talking scenes more interesting. Taking the most popular gameplay clips I fully edited and posted such content on my channel and amassed over 130K views. And since no one else could do the same type of editing I had an incredible amount of inbound asking for editing with this exact style. Don't copy styles. Instead re-invent and reimagine them to create something truly unique. That's what sells.
A small preview of my large Miro board! In this screenshot I'm showcasing a few of the assets I'm gonna use for a video and a bit of my process when going in depth in planning a video. (click to see the whole thing, so far only made 3 of 10 characters)

3. Match eye-lines cuts Keeping the cut between two shots at the same eye level allows for a smooth transition between scenes as well as avoiding extra viewer effort to watch the video.

Editors, make your visual effects believable. A chain should behave like a chain! Let me know how I did. Edited using After Effects (Before / After)
