I started learning to edit video in Sony Vegas nearly 15 years ago. Side story: I used to play in a Day of Defeat league (CAL specifically). A subset of that community would put together ESPN style top 10 plays weekly from clips people submitted from their matches. Given that the internet never dies, I image some video I produced, backed by a Rage Against the Machine song, is floating around out there somewhere.
Jump forward to 2009 and I started editing again with video my wife and I shot during the first year of our oldest. It was different than video game clips, but utilized the same skill set. Jump again and I learned audio editing in Audacity for the podcast. Similar, but different.
In 2020, a year of sitting at home with free time, I finally sprung for the Adobe Creative suite. Primarily for Illustrator and Photoshop, but I was eyeballing Audition, Premiere, and After Effects too. In the Spring my family went through a spell where they wanted to be math joke and soccer trick shot YouTube stars and I acquainted myself with Premiere Pro to support them with production.
Jump once more to 2021 and am still playing Call of Duty Warzone with an ever expanding group of online friends. Hell, it made my top picks of 2020. Kevin, one of the guys I play with started putting together clips of our late night gameplay. I quickly followed suite and it felt like a time machine back to the mid-2000s. Premiere makes a 3-4 minute video edit super quick and I record everything in 5 minute highlights via Nvidia ShadowPlay that are very easy to manage.
