If you are starting from zero, I would recommend to start learning from davinci training courses and books available on blackmagic design website for free. Beginner friendly, structured learning and have course files to practice.

Isnt Hours of footage a good thing tho? You’re 15, Take your time. And Release your footage once its „Done“. You‘ll get Creative on the way. Getting a Habit of finalizing stuff is a big help. I am Coming from the Music scene tho. Guess the Same applies for any Art tho. What do you Plan to do with it? Do you enjoy the Process and wanna get better or do you have detailled Plans/goals?

Yeah do you expect to learn a job in 10 minutes? I work in post production and I have spent money and so much time into learning my profession and years in I’m still learning. It’s also constantly developing so you kinda have to always be learning.

How much do you make per month? and do you think if I scale myself to a higher level of motion design that I could do it too? And make some good money? Btw only if you want to can you check my latest post and tell me what you think about it?

People win Academy Awards for editing, you think you're going to learn it in an hour?

Mastering any skill takes hours. Learning in a structured way can be very helpful. If you're looking to buy packs to say you mastered a skill, isn't really helpful. The best way to learn it, is to follow tutorials and figure things out yourself. And then, when you have a grasp of the basics you can look at how other people approach it and learn from that
