    1. I worked as a professional video editor until 2014. How much has changed since then?

      Title.

      This is my machine:

      • OS: Windows 10
      • Video editing software: Adobe Premiere
      • Display (ED320QR S): 1920x1080 @ 144 Hz in 28" [External]
      • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400G (8) @ 3.60 GHz
      • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 12GB [Discrete]
      • Memory: 64 GiB (7%)
      • 1TB NVME SSD (I can't get the info right now on Linux, but it's a very good SSD)

      I am looking into getting back into video editing for my personal projects.

      My program of choice was and is Adobe Premiere.

      So, how much has changed since then, and what is the best way for me to get up to speed? Do my knowledge and assumptions from 2014 more or less translate to current versions of Adobe Premiere? Should I use some other program instead? Are there any courses, summaries, or cheat sheets you would recommend?

      I should probably clarify that going back to editing is a source of distress for me, since it was something I was too emotionally invested in back then, leading to a significant burnout. So I would like to overcome some of that emotional fragility by mapping the terrain a little bit before going back to it.

      Back in the day, I used to love the courses on lynda.com. Something along those lines might help alleviate some of that anxiety.

      Thanks!

      I really like this instructional video. I even downloaded a copy. The copy I downloaded is as blurry as the copy on YouTube.

      Is it possible to possible to sharpen my copy of that video?

      If it is possible, can it be done with freely available software on Linux?

      Thanks either way.

      I'm using OBS Studio to create some video tutorials. Nothing complicated, just me talking and demonstrating the steps on my screen.

      I essentially just need to slice up these recordings into clips, delete portions of the recordings where I mess up or there are long pauses, and export it all as one video.

      I've used Premier in the past but I no longer have it. While I am pretty capable of learning how to use software, I would prefer something that doesn't have a huge learning curve.

      I need something that runs on either Windows or Linux and is free. Not "free trial" free, but actually free. Open source would be a plus but not a requirement.

      Feel free to recommend your favorite free video editor even if it doesn't meet all of my requirements, as maybe it will help someone else in the future.
