I Said YES To Every Editing Request for 24 Hours

One of the dumbest editing challenges I've ever done...

Hi guys,

I’ve just released a new video in which I edit together a whole bunch of assets that I was sent by you, my fellow editors – and oh boy, is the result something…

Before I sent out a Tweet asking you all for assets to edit, I really did think that I would receive real clips with instructions on what to edit. But instead, I received everything from a dancing A.I. cat to a picture of the front cover of FIFA 14 – with no instructions. Just FIFA 14.

After some debate about what to actually do with the assets (I had been thinking I would create lots of little individual videos), I decided to put all the clips into one video to create the ultimate editors' shitpost. You can see exactly how I did it in my new video:

A few things went down behind the scenes while making this one. First, I was delayed making the video because the Storezar team and I were busy working super hard on getting our latest batch of advanced presets into your hands. They’re now available on Storezar for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, so go check them out!

Second, that shitpost took way longer than I expected to complete! I was at my computer for a week trying to work out how to weave all the assets together into one video that made some sort of sense. There came a point where the shitpost was some weird, lo-fi fever dream of images just put next to each other with some dreamy music playing underneath. It was creepy but also weirdly beautiful? I don’t know, I was going slightly crazy at the time.

Another thing you may notice about the video is that the editing (not of the shitpost, but the actual video itself) is pretty chill – at least compared to some of my other videos. I wanted to keep things a little more authentic and not over-edited, using just my presets for animations, zooms, and transitions. I really like the result, and hopefully you do too. I’m also going to do another of these in the future, so follow me on Twitter to send me your assets!

If all goes to plan, there should be less of a wait for the new video! I really appreciate everyone who has bought the advanced presets for Premiere and DaVinci Resolve – your purchase goes a long way to supporting the channel and allows us to keep putting these sorts of videos out there.

So go on, get out of here, and happy editing!
