Hey there! I'm Valerie from Toronto, Canada and I'm a self-taught video editor.
As you probably know, editors like me can't monetize our videos if we don't own the content used in them, so donating is a great way to show support or send in video requests and it helps a lot. It’s also added motivation to keep going and improving!
I put in a lot of time, effort and dedication into each of my edits, I usually spend a good 10-12 hours on each project, sometimes a lot more to make sure everything is the way I want it and it can be challenging at times (especially when my editing program bugs or crashes), but I truly enjoy the process and it’s all worth it at the end :)! I still have a lot to learn, but I try my best!
I will mention the name of anyone who donates in future video descriptions :)
