About
I'm Yousef and I love video editing. I think of myself as an artist so I call this blog Video Editing Artist.
I'm a business owner where I video edit YouTube videos for entrepreneurs. This is my portfolio: yousefah.com
I'm starting this blog because there's a big problem with the title "video editor." It doesn't align with who YouTube video editors are and what they do. I want to share my stories of success to help video editors get more work, get paid more and to help elevate the artistry of video editing.
My Mission is to:
- Demystify the art of video editing: I'll break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand steps, share my pro tips and tricks, and guide you through the editing process with clear, actionable advice.
- Empower you to view yourself as an artist: A monkey could cut a video and add transitions. Video editors make or break a video with storytelling and crafting a narrative that resonates with an audience. I'll help you find your unique voice and style. I'll teach you how to see yourself as an artist.
- Build a community of successful video editors: This blog is a space for you to learn, share and connect with passionate video editors. Ask questions, offer your own insights, and support each other on the journey to video editing mastery.
But who am I, really?
I'm more than a video editor. I'm an entrepreneur. I've been in your shoes, juggling the demands of creating content with the technical hurdles of editing. Through trial and error, I've honed my skills and developed a system that allows me to create high-quality, engaging videos that get results.
My Core Principals:
- Have fun: I’m goofy and you’ll laugh at some of the things I’m going to share.
- Brutal transparency: Everyone’s lying and it’s tiring. I’m sharing everything honestly and with no fear.
- Help: I’m teaching you everything I know to help you thrive better than me.
- Love: This profession can be tough. When we talk to each other and listen, we become better people.
What can you expect from this blog?
- Regular posts: I'll be sharing in-depth tutorials, quick editing hacks, funny stuff, inspirational stories from me and other video editors, and my own insights on the ever-evolving world of YouTube.
- A positive and supportive community: This is a space where you can feel free to ask questions, share your wins and struggles, and connect with like-minded editors.
- Actionable advice: I won't just tell you what to do; I'll show you how to do it. Expect practical tips, downloadable resources, and a behind-the-scenes look at my own editing process.
I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, let's elevate the art of editing and empower ourselves (and each other) to become successful. We're not just video editors. We're artists.
