If you want to grow as a video editor, what you watch matters as much as what you edit. Random scrolling won’t level up your skills—but studying creators who edit with intention absolutely will.
Lately, this is the content worth consuming if you care about storytelling, structure, pacing, and experimentation in editing. These creators don’t just make videos—they teach you why an edit works.

Study these creators. Pause their videos. Rewatch sections. Ask why a cut happened.
That’s how editors actually level up.
