20 Video Editors Battle for $850 Prize (Insane Outcome)

in this video 20 video editors from my school Community are going to be competing for a big cash prize of $850 each of these editors is going to be given 24 hours to create a complete short form video from scratch they're first going to start out by writing out their own scripts then they're going to be responsible for filming it and being creative with that process and lastly each of them is going to be editing their own video to turn it into a masterpiece after all this we will then judge all 13 videos that were

created based on creativity and quality of the end and with this being said if you'd like to beat in competitions like this I'll tell you more about that later on the video but first I had to get all 20 editors on a call to explain the rules everyone everyone shows up on the money is bunch of gold di that's the here bunch of fakies and then I had to break down the competition rules to these smooth brain editors you will basically be given 24 hours the challenge is to create the best file short completely from

scratch and what I mean completely from scratch I mean you're going to have to script it you're going to have to record it you're going to have to do everything absolutely from the beginning it's not about just creating a short and creating your subtitles and doing the VFS I want to make sure that I see creativity but this wouldn't be a regular competition if we didn't have some trash talking so I let them go fully at it for a few minutes all right can you record this bit for the YouTube yeah yeah all yeah yeah

yeah recorded I'm going to smash you get course is [ __ ] you have 20 followers I hope your pillows warm buddy yeah and with this being said I sent the editors off and waited for their submissions and while I was enjoying my break this is what was happening behind the scenes yo Joseph YouTube channel what's up uh so far it's been going pretty good I'd say I started doing some amazing cinematic uh effects and transitions they're not amazing but they're okay what's good my name is Chim pocket and come here this is my game

plan I'm using the one trick that every video editor is too scared to use I filmed outside and this is going to help me win the $500 competition in caffeine hi my name is Charles also known as the best video editor in Joseph's community and I'm going to win this $500 editing competition I think it's pretty evident that I don't have a game plan I'm not really estrogenic like yanelli for example what I'm going to do is I'm just going to animate everything do some sound design make it look disgusting make it look diabolical submit

it into Joseph and then win myself $500 I'm so tired I'm like I didn't sleep last night like I have only had like yo what is going on like Louis Vuitton you know what it is the one the only the vernacular is spectacular one thing I'm going to say is I'm not using crazy effects there's no time for that bro man does not have time for that I do think I have the most creative scripts it's the one that only vacul spectacular it the one the only the bacular the spectacular 24 hours later finally the

submissions came in do you have on yeah where where's that mustache come from where's the beard come from that angle just looks weird this is natur now it's finally time to review all these submissions and decide who the top three winners are the first place winner is going to be winning a $500 cash prize the second place winner is going to be winning a $200 cash prize and the third place winner will be winning a $100 $0000 cash price and you'll probably like to know that we host one of these $500 editing competitions every single

hiring these editors you can find their socials down below but first up was Jack and this is what he was able to create in just 24 hours 2 weeks I turn my terrible shorts into masterpieces and here's how I did it first is setting the correct Pace pacing can make or break a video the video is too fast Vital Information will get missed too slow and it becomes boring one way to fix this is by using one of the techniques such as a j cut which helps the video flow smoothly but removing the dead space

between audio clip Jack can you run us through the idea that you had in mind when you were making this yeah so I was sort of going off of um the Isaac style cuz I just completed that course and I really really liked it um I really like the sound design that Isaac uses so I did do a bit of copying from that I think we're going to have to put you at I mean e is like absolutely horrible it's always D so we're going to have to put you at C okay all right the

places you could have worked on as I said it's just mainly like the editing and just the overall like style of the whole thing with that done Salim was up next the main man himself Sal what was this experience like man I kind of went out of my comfort zone and did some stuff like I've never done before so let's see so you put in a lot of a lot of work on the editing so let's go and check this out man video editing is easy is one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard let

me explain there are over a 100 different style of videos you can choose from and the magic it's all about how you bring your own twist to it you can go the simple route like the Alex rosi style all you need are some muscles a flanel shirt and a voloptuous beard or you could go bold like Dean Jaffa style all you need is a purple background and some clean effects and that's definitely going to take you from an average Editor to a pro editor and if you really want to stand out and create your own

unique style all you'll need is After Effects that's definitely going to can help you push boundaries and the best part you can learn it all on Ultimate editors for only $47 a month don't miss out on the opportunity trust me it's worth it dude this looks sick s you nailed it with the editing the editing's on point you nailed it with the music choice and even with the creativity and everything that comes to mind with this s I'm going to put you at a tier thanks bro and now it was time for R to come

through R do you want to run us through the experience uh yeah I was I was pretty excited because when I saw we can actually write our scripts and make something on our own I was like yes yeah let's go and check this out it's a 33 second C your videos are like a bad first date plenty of effort but just no spark it's not you it's your sound effects see it doesn't matter how amazing your content is if it lacks clicks to Captivate your audience there is one simple trick that Viral content creators use

very interesting I like the ideation it's very very simple it's effective I'm going to have to give you B tier and I'll tell you why you're you're kind of in between the only reason I'm going to give you B tier is just cuz I would have loved to see a bit more variation yeah thanks I actually have to learn a bit more for one B more variations then it was charer all right next up we got the main man himself Charles oh wait next okay all right I'll walk you through the whole thing so first

for is because you don't pay enough attention to the things around you which can actually inspire you and inspiration doesn't have to come from creators within your Niche recently I was watching a documentary for fun and in the first 10 minutes I was already able to write down three content ideas my personal brand including this one and no I wasn't born with the creativity of an artist either creative is learnable just like any other skill all you have to do is pay more attention wow Charles Charles man man this is good I made youell turn

of video you want to edit then pick our consistent posting schedule showing all your edits okay mother man that's tough the choice of style you you tried to choose both of them in terms of just how to make things look really really nice that's where you could have used a bit more work all right madav I'm going to put you at B tier you deserve it for the work that you're putting in you can definitely scale to the next level and after madav it was finally a bro turn okay I really hope you focused on

the stylization a bit more cuz that's something I'm really looking forward to and let's go and watch through this man imagine for a second and it's almost October and you have three months ahead until 2025 to master the skill you dream of and I'm going to reveal how I mastered video editing in three months and you can follow as well firstly I choose my editing software and stick to it and I found a mentor and joined his community I got guidance accountability and networking with professional content creators like oh this is good man so in

terms of the choice of style I like the fact that you used the mix of like buy maximize with some of your own stuff the editing style I think is where you could have used a bit more help I think you smashed it in terms of telling a story but I think you can work a bit more on the editing to kind of push you a bit further AB you're you're going at C sounds good man yeah sounds good sounds good then chinaka was up next and he was going to show us what he made

yeah yeah what's up guys I think you did something a bit different you've been doing content creations so I tried to do something different by like going outside because I knew like any of you would like step out of the Sun out of your editing C let's let's go ahead and watch through this this is sick still my one step process of how I made $1,000 in video editing in my first two months ask everybody you know if they need video editing now I know you're probably thinking but I'm too shy sh trust me on

this send this exact DM format your friends want to see you succeed especially if you help them out too if your closest friends don't even know what you're doing how are Strang is supposed to so go ahead take that first step and you'll be surprised by the results trust me you've got this your first client to be 1 DM away let's go man uh just like using different shot selections and still trying to make it educational but still like telling that story this is good man I I sweated so much I was like running around

traka creativity choice of style that's your own style really good sound design could have used it a lot more help I think sound design is where you could work and music choice is solid if we were to kind of compare it to everyone I that you should probably be at B tier simply just because of the stylization now as I spent some time analyzing these shorts it was clear who the top three winners are and after taking my final decision I decided that Charles deserves to have the number one spot I think we've got the

winner Charles congratulations you going to be in first place the sound design man oh look at him bro he come back man both of you guys did amazing let's just first of all clarify this Salem don't close the camera or else we'll think that you're probably like depressed something just keep the camera open just so we make sure nothing bad happens too his short simply showcased insane creativity with the 3D editing style and very out of box thinking so it was simply too good to be anything besides number one but then I had to decide

between both of these which one's going to be number two and number three super super happy to announce Charles you win the number one Salim you win the number two and Jacob you win the number three and with the winners now chosen it was finally time to hear what they had to say congratulations to all three of you guys feels feels premium to be in this room huh up in here I'm kidding I'm kidding been here before stop acting bro stop being so arrogant I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding I've actually I've lost the two
