That's the average time a wedding videographer spends editing.
Every second counts. What are you going to do about it?
My life as a wedding videographer was trash. Until I changed this one thing:
I love shooting. I love editing. I love my craft. I'm in love with it. But my passion—my work—was starting to shift into a really unhealthy situation.
Two years ago, I was shooting weddings every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I was in a relationship, working on my business, shooting, editing… It was too much. The edits started to pile up, and it became impossible to juggle everything in my life.
And then I made one decision that changed everything: I surrendered control, and finally decided to outsource my edits.
I know you like the process. I know you like to have control over your films. But I promise you it's not worth all the energy you're currently investing. There's a better way.
