Although at the moment I have no idea how to help you, I wish you good luck :)

Thanks @valium your single comment means the world to me right now.

Good luck man I'm literally doing the same thing with the same concerns and learning how to properly edit videos with premier pro and after effects as I go. The steemit community is pretty dope, gotta just dive right in I guess.

@druidcruize Thanks man! I have working with premier pro for a few months now and I love it! I moved over from the GoPro editing desktop app. I appreciate you dude thanks for the love! I have a feeling this is going to be a lot of fun :)

Dean, that's my son's name. I know how you feel about locking up, I do the same thing. Kudos to you for living on the edge. I lost about 30 lbs in 2017 and got my dream job in December by just trying something new. You're right! It seems that GOD made us thrive under stress and challenge. GOD bless! Jim

Nice! I need to do this more myself. Particularly w. My investments and such. Check out @greenroom to see what I do. I’ll look forward to watching your videos on my feed. 1
