If no one sends you footage to edit. I'd suggest downloading pro edits from Youtube from over the years, so like Gus Kenworthy edits from past 7 seasons etc and edit them into 5 minutes of non stop bangers.

Camp of Champions always uploads a ton of footage for their intern contest, that's your best bet.


Making an edit isn't just about editing it's about filming too. Going out and shooting is half of the fun.

Vimeo could be better... you can often download the source file straight from the web page.

"Three years of expert level final cut pro."
Now what does this mean? Does this mean you were in the expert class at your middle school when you were twelve? For all the experts? Or were you using the expert version of final cut pro? Cause you know, they won't sell the expert version to just anyone. You have to be an expert.

Watch out guys, I think we might have an expert on our hands.

on another note, I'm a total noob at it right now. Any tutorials/guides/stuff to look at that'll help me understand how everything works?

get familiar with making sequences that have the same settings as your footage. this would probably pop up in a 'how to get started in premiere pro' video, along with other things such as which tool is where

play around with footage you have. visualize what you want to make, then when you come to a standstill where you're thinking 'aw fuck how do I do this' google it. there will most likely be a tutorial on it

Never too late to start using Premiere. Adobe's softwares are user friendly and if you know how to edit it won't take long for you to learn Adobe Premiere.
