Ooo boy, that was a long month. Not a whole lot of editing happened because I was busy with my dissertation, most of these are from the end of August/beginning of September, but now that I'm done and between things I got a burst of inspiration and am really enjoying editing! I really wanna get some personal projects up, but I'm having a much easier time starting things than I am finishing...

I'm really happy with how these parts, and the whole MEP, turned out! I got inspired to do a comic book-esque aesthetic, largely from the Elevate MEP, which I left a link to above because it looks AMAZING, but I don't have the Fx skills to pull it off properly, but I'm happy with what I managed to do!

I had a lot of fun with this song again, and I tried to do new things with camera movement/3D and shapes, much of which doesn't really show, but I've been trying to push myself to try new things and improve.

Oh look, the Bat Family! I feel like it's been a really long time since I edited them. I'm going to try and do a proper edit with them while I have a little more time, but I'm having a hard time finishing personal projects, even though I have a lot I want to do.

Merry Christmas FallBlakeTrash! I dont know you, but I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year, and that you enjoy the edit! I had a lot of fun making this, even though Ive only seen the first episode of the anime. I was very excited when I got you and you had this anime listed because Ive been meaning to watch it for ages, so I planned to binge the whole thing before editing, but then after finishing editing I decided to just go ahead and start, and then just didnt make any further headway with the anime. XD
This was my edit for E Stacs editing Secret Santa. I was really glad I had the time to take part this year. No longer having to write thousands of words over the holiday break feels very, very nice. Therell also be another upload either later today or tomorrow with mine and Nehs Christmas Collab.

![Editing Appreciation/Evolution (2015-2020) [5 year anniversary!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aLWNpnUmlck/hqdefault.jpg "Editing Appreciation/Evolution (2015-2020) [5 year anniversary!]
So 5 years ago today, I started my channel! It both feels like a very long time ago, and not that long at all. Ive seen a lot of people doing things along these lines, and I was tempted to do one too, but a lot of people have also been editing for, like, 10+ years, so I was really sure if it was worth doing one for what seemed like a short time of 5, but boxedkat encouraged me to do one too, and as I had the anniversary coming up, I thought it was the perfect time!
24th Jan 2015 (0:00) – 20th Sept 2015 = So, I started off editing with ATLA in this trial version of Powerdirector that had just come with my laptop. Apparently I uploaded two edits on the first day. I have no idea why because Savin’ Me is really bad. I remember I didn’t know where to get footage so I used screen caps, but I must have found clips not that long later? I don’t know what 2015 me was doing. Anyway, Powerdirector (or the trial version at least) was pretty limited, I couldn’t even fade out, and I couldn’t work out how to use the transitions. There were also very limited text options, as you can see. The Damian Wayne video is also one of the most popular edits I’ve ever made and is probably the first one that’s even halfway decent, largely because of the intro, I think it’s the only good bit.
3rd Oct 2015 (1:33) – 23rd Jan 2016 = I got Movavi video editor 10! I’m the only editor that I know that used that program, and it was pretty simple, but I really liked it. Mostly I was just excited I could fade out. The edits I made around this time are the backbone of my channel, especially Remember the Name, which is the most popular edit I will ever make ever. (It’s currently got 1.6 million views which, like, what, that’s ridiculous! XD) Here I started to learn how to do basic things, like, All This Time I figured out how to crossfade, Last Time was my first real go at typography, and by We Are Golden I’d gotten used to transitions and was starting to use some effects.
14th Feb 2016 (2:35) – 26th Sep 2016 = My first real go at still image! I actually made that on WMM because I remember my laptop was broken, so I was borrowing my mum’s to write my essays, and she only had WMM, and I must have just really wanted to learn how to edit comics so I made that! I was back on Movavi for Apologise where I was really focusing on learning how to edit to the beats and not just to lyrics like I always had before. Then I started learning to do things like use chroma masks, One That Got Away was my first attempt to use fanart, Everybody Talks I was trying out using a lot more transitions and beginning to explore typography again. I started editing Marvel, and Shut Up and Dance is probably the first edit that I have on my channel that I like all the way through. Ships in the Night was my BFLS audition, and E.T. was the first MEP part I ever made. Colours was when I started realising I could do a little more with Movavi than I thought and started to get more ambitious. I figured out I could pan and use transitions on text if I turned the text into green screen masks. Looks So Perfect is in here because I find it retrospectively funny that I was so scared of live action I used screen caps instead of the film. Then Wrapped Up was my first real attempt at FX editing in all of it’s awkward glory.
2nd Oct 2016 (5:24) – 14th Feb 2017 = I got Movavi 11, but I stayed editing in 10 as my main software because whilst 11 had more effects (like the overlays on What Hurts the Most), it gave me a lot less freedom. I couldn’t have infinity tracks, and text had to go on specific tracks, and it annoyed the hell out of me. I was trying to improve my FX and typography, particularly in my Closer and 2016 Shipmas edits. They mostly didn’t work, but I’d decided the only way I was going to get anywhere was if I tried, and Lisa was kind enough to let me into LIL off the back of Heartbreak Coverup where I made a lot of editing friends. I also briefly used a very ugly overlay as colouring because I couldn’t really use colouring in Movavi.
24th Feb 2017 (6:58) – 9th Aug 2017 = I finally moved onto Sony Vegas Pro 14! I really struggled with the transition so I started off doing the editing in Movavi and then adding text/overlays/transitions in Vegas, which is what I did for Stay and Black Magic. The Street Fight MEP part was the first thing I made just in Vegas, and Hit Me Up the first proper edit. It didn’t start looking okay until I Choose You. I actually found it a lot easier to edit still image than animation initially (large because I didn’t have the crossfade option on) so that didn’t start getting alright until Die Young. By Now and Something Just Like This was my first time doing an editing contest, which was fun, and By Now I was trying to edit stylistically, which I don’t normally do and kind of suck at. Glitter and Gold was my first go at editing in that voiceover/sfx style, and Sassy was me trying to do FX animation.

My brain is fried, just turned in a 4500 word business report I had to research and write in my own time these past few months, have these parts from March-May. I look forward to having energy and motivation again.

This was such a cool theme idea, and the outcome was super fun. My favourite thing about this is that I dont think a single one of these picrews has the same skin colour, the joys of being an unspecified shade of beige!

Theme: MEP part collab

Another fun theme from GS where each part was a collab with another studio member. I was super lucky to get partnered with Lena, and we couldnt use our shared book/live action ships, but it was really fun to work with this anime that I havent edited in years.

Theme: Marvel/DC comic book characters
Full MEP = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5IuWqUWPqM&t=1s
This part was by far and away the most fun I had with editing in May. This song fits disaster!Clint so much, and I enjoyed playing with the comic book style. It turned out much better than my previous effort from March thats later on.

The full MEP looks incredible. I really like the start of my part, I spent ages on it, and the rest of it I had no ideas for and kinda just made it up as I went.

Theme: anime couples

A Teen Titans edit to Burn the House Down by AJR, all art by Gabriel Picolo (https://www.instagram.com/_picolo). A DC edit that isnt an MEP part, its been a long time since that last happened... Not in my usual style, but Ive been wanting to edit in this instagram kinda style for a while, and given Ive been struggling with editing still-image (theres a large gap between what I want to do, and what I can, and I dont feel like Im improving), now seemed like a good time to do it, and I decided to go all in and add the woosh-y noises and try a plot-twist style audio edit.
Major inspirations for this were E Stac and xjentaime. Theyre both much, much better than I am at this style, but I had a lot of fun watching their edits and trying to work out how to do them.

I cant believe that Ive never edited with Champions before given that its got Kamala, Miles, Sam and Scott in it, who I love. That parts a bit iffy, though, like, its starts good (Im proud of the CD thing), but by the end its kind of meh. I like the second part better. Im on a sudden, unexpected Batwoman part spree, like this is the third one Ive made in a month! Also very happy to use Bette because, well, she never gets edited with.

I was legitimately so confused for a moment when I drew your name and thought I must be on the 2020 page but nope, youre just stuck with me! XD Anyway, I tried to make it as different to last year as possible with all new ships and a different style and hopefully more angst for you?
Anyway, I know I say this all time, but like, your editing consistently blows me away, its always incredible! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, New Year and 2022!
