As a fulltime video editor, I have been video editing professionally at cornerstone church since 2015, editing tv shows that air all around the world.
I have been serving the san Antonio, tx area in video production since 2015 as a camera operator for events such as high school sports, conferences and concert. As well as remote video editing for clients with 1 gigabyte internet speeds for larger file sizes
I began my journey in 2013 as a student, learned AVID Media composer as well as the fundamentals of editing there. I was often the fastest editor who outputed the highest quality product.
Post graduation, my program coordinator reccomended me to various different opportunites till I landed my full time editing job at Cornerstone Church editing their TV shows, which is where I still reside to this day.
I always get the work done so quickly I have time to edit for other clients such as Churchome, Summit Church, and UTSA as freelance.
I have also worked on a team from California on a river parade that was being broadcast nationally (Spiritlandia) I was initally hired as an assistent editor, being a native to San Antonio and no one knowing me. However, after seeing my skills in action, I was then promoted and credited as an Editor.

Education

I use Premeire and AVID Media Composer.
Premiere at home and for all of my freelance work
AVID Media Composer for Cornerstone Church for my fulltime job.
I believe all editing software is just a tool to create, whichever tool you know how to utlilize best to get the job is the one of choice. I know both very well
I like AVID's interplay that allows us to open up each others timelines as a team and work more efficiently transfering assets. And very stable
I like Premiere's creative tools and being able to link to after effects, but only downside is there more bugs to deal with due to them adding new features all the time.
I am equally fast in both. But for me, Premiere as cheaper as a freelancer so you can say that is my normal weapon of choice outside of Cornerstone.
