I have recently been taking up work as a freelance video editor as I find turning stock footage into watchable and ENJOYABLE content, incredibly satisfying.
Here is where you will find some of my featured work for some AMAZING creators:

Editing process breakdown:
This video consists of Nate talking to the camera while showing the viewers items on his computer. This video had around 8-10 hours of footage (~118GBs) worth of footage
$100 vs. $1000 Snare!
Editing process breakdown:
Pre-production - Before working on the actual creation of the video, syncing all the different camera's and audio mixes is crucial. I like to do this by adding all footage into the project, and lining up all of the camera's and audio - (You can do this by looking at the waveforms of the audio.)
This screenshot below is the stage after that, which is when I try to split up the video into workable sections if there is a substantially large amount of footage, like in this video here. As you can tell by the timeline I had around 6 hours of footage all raw that I had to construct a 20 minute video from. I did this by separating all the different snare drums/main focus of the video into sections from one snare drum starting and finishing.

Here is the skeleton of the intro and 2 of the snare drums. I call it a skeleton because its just the stock footage, no effects or graphics or captions. Its just the footage and the audio. This is how I edit all of my YouTube videos. I create a skeleton of the video and then go back over the skeleton and add all of the flashy graphics and effects.

This screenshot above is the timeline from the completed video! - If you look close enough you can see the different sections seen in the first screenshot, all chopped up and spread out throughout the final timeline.
Just in case you are interested:
Pink - Graphics; text, boxes, borders and pictures/memes.
Blue - Footage | Blue with light blue - audio from the footage
green - External audio; such as mixed drums and background music.

Colour grading
In this video, Nate had recorded a few cinematics recorded in S-log 3. This is a format of recording that is in more detail, but washes the colour out. You can then change this in post by using any colour grading software such as Red Giant Magic Bullet Looks, as well as Premier Pro's Lumetri Colour.
