Simple editing: keep what matters and cut the rest
You don't need complicated software for a clean, well-paced edit.
Editing feels scary, but the basic idea fits in one sentence: keep what serves your point, remove everything else. Silences, hesitations and repetitions weigh things down for nothing.
Start with a rough cut
First assemble your shots in the right order, without chasing perfection. Once the story holds together, you can refine transitions and add captions.
Captions are your best ally, because many people watch without sound. They make your video more accessible and hold attention longer.
