Hey everyone, I’m Aastha (21F). Recently I’ve been thinking about learning video editing because it genuinely feels interesting to me, and I have a few free months where I can properly focus on building a skill.

I have an iPad Air 5th Gen, but I honestly don’t know where to start. I’m looking for free resources/courses/apps and some guidance about the learning path. Also, while learning, what kind of content should I even edit if I don’t have my own footage or content?

I’m more interested in learning editing that can actually help me make money in the future (freelancing/content editing/short form editing etc.) while also learning skills to eventually start my own channel properly.

I already have a small YouTube study channel with 200+ subscribers, but I haven’t posted anything for 90+ days because I got confused about what direction to take.

Would really appreciate advice from people who started from zero — what should I learn first, what apps should I use on iPad, how do I practice without content, and what type of editing has the best opportunities right now?

Hi everyone,

I’m 21F my_qualifications 12th done and just gave NEET UG again today… and honestly, it didn’t go well. This was my 4th drop, and I can feel that continuing on this path may not be realistic anymore.

I come from an average-income family, and as a girl child, there’s also a limit to how much my parents are willing to invest in long-term preparation or expensive private colleges. I live in a city where there are colleges, but they don’t really offer strong career scope or exposure.

I do have CUET UG coming up (Physics/Chemistry/Biology/English/Reasoning), so I still have a chance to shift direction—but I’m very confused.

What I’m looking for:

\- A stable career path (priority: financial independence)

\- Course/degree options within \~₹1 lakh/year

\- Something that actually has scope (not just a degree with no jobs after)

I’m open to changing fields if needed, but I don’t want to waste more years experimenting blindly.

If anyone has been in a similar situation or has practical suggestions (courses, exams, skills, career paths), I’d really appreciate your advice.

Thanks for reading.
