What I have:

All the videos downloaded in highest available quality

im good at pirating shit, so price isn’t a factor

What I don’t have:

The software

The skill to use it

The knowledge of what software to use and where to find guides on it.

There’s a few people who’ve created content, and a lot of it’s quite good (RIP Eugene dabs) so I was hoping I wasn’t the only person who started with zero background and wanted to make videos.

If it can handle audio as well that’s a bonus but not relevant to my immediate ideas for “first projects”.

Thank you in advance to anyone kind enough to offer advice

You put the whole video in there, it’s doesn’t copy it or anything (it remembers your edits in something akin to xml form). Premiere davinci both can do it, you can shovel 200 3 hour videos in the source bin, it will be fine. *But it will be very annoyed if you change path to video, obviously. And if it’s external storage, scrolling timeline will choke a bit, as it’s streaming the content, rather than keeping it in ram/cache

But if you like, you can do them one by one, then after cutting unneeded bits in timeline, you do export thingy (it will take a while), and then you get short clip. And then you can shovel small clips into source bin.

More easily, you put edited clips into second timeline, put lomg video in first, trim it, put it in second timeline (you will have like 2-3 timelines by default) and repeat.

If you later don’t like the result, you can expand video backward (you have 5s clip of one video, but decide it needed 6 seconds, it allows to just change ending time of the cut), but if you make short clips first it will be a headache

Thanks! I look forward to trying this.

It’s legit easier to try and see, wtf are timelines and how you can cut and move clips around different timelines. That part is kinda intuitive, it’s the rest that’s hot fucking garbage of googling around

Thanks for recommending this. I’ve been struggling, but there a ton of YouTube vids so it’s progressing slowly.
