There are a lot of really good entries here. Everything I've seen looks like its had quite a few hours of work put into them - hours on youtube and in editing. I can also tell there are a lot of newcomers here. For the newer editors, the kid with a bootleg copy of Sony Vegas or the dude in his third year of college wanting to go a different way with his education - whoever - if you have any general questions on how to get up to par or feel like you've hit a wall, please feel free to message me. I'm not an expert, but I know what its like just trying to pull myself up and having no one to give me a hand.
having a bootleg copy of sony vegas or being in college does not automatically make you a newcomer/not as skillful. I have a bootleg of sony vegas and am starting fresh again in a new college but the difference is that i have 10 years exp (self taught) in video editing, although technically i am a a graduate of the digital media arts. I know you mean well and want to help people but don't lump everyone together like that. just saiyan
I don't think he's grouping people together as you think. I feel he's creating a scenario where some people are experimenting with video editing and torrented sony vegas. Some of these people are trying new things and maybe are confused in their lives. This is where he is trying to help. He's not saying people that have a bootleg as not experienced, instead he's illustrating a typical scenario in which someone would've bootlegged.
