Great that you are convincing your friend to join.
Yes, video editing. Yesterday, for Niko's backflip, ... the coach sent me the 7 seconds long movie by email. I wanted to cut out the first two seconds because of the background noise. It took me half an hour to do it in the quality I wanted it to be, and post it to Instagram.
Sometimes, many times, we over-complicate things :)
Oh trust me I know haha. I've spent hours just trying to piece together a couple of clips. I used to be much more into filming and editing and the amount of frustration I've experienced even just trying to get a few seconds right hahhaa. It's a tough process!
What tools are you using now?
I am on Windows and using Shotcut. I tried VideoPad yet I wasn't convinced enough to buy it.
