However, it is also good and beneficial who knows video editing because they can make vlogs and edit them and post them and earn good money at the same time.

Apart from the vloggers, you also have seen the advertisement for video editors. Various workplaces also need video editors that’s why they hire people who can do this work. There is a high demand for video editors too because everything is online and we need people to edit the videos and post online. You may join a course to learn video editing but while doing that or after finishing your course you will be needing some tools to edit the video. So, in this article, I am going to suggest you some tools which can help you in your journey and you can buy them fromi eBay alternatves.

1) A Video Editing Computer

If you want to do this then you really need a computer to do it. Although the computer depends upon your requirement and the type of editing that you do. For a simple type of editing, you can buy a laptop with an i5 processor and 4 GB RAM. But if you are planning to do complex editing then you will need a computer with a more powerful processor and a 1TB hard drive. You also need a separate graphics card for better effect. If you just research a bit and buy a good computer then you can edit multiple videos at the same time on the same computer.

2) External Hard Drive

If you have a computer but its hard drive is full or you do not want to use it then you can buy a separate hard drive for it to store files, videos, and images of big sizes. You can easily get a hard drive at any computer shop. Well, while doing editing you should have a spare hard drive to keep the videos because they occupy a lot of space. It is good to keep because you can keep all your important data on this hard drive which is private and it will also work as a backup if anything happens to your computer.

3) Editing Shortcut Keyboard

You can use your normal keyboard for editing but it will take so much time, therefore, I would say that you should prefer a shortcut keyboard for video editing purposes because it will ease your hard work. You just can not remember all the shortcut keys in a short period, it takes time to memorize but if you do not want to face the trouble then you should buy it.

4) Video Editing Software

If you have everything but good editing software then you can face difficulty while doing this. The software plays an important role in editing because they make your editing possible. You may buy a subscription to any editing software based on your budget and requirement. As I said, if you are engaged professionally and do complex editing then you need expensive software to create effects, features, and graphics in your video.

5) Digital Audio Workstation

This is a workstation that allows you to record, edit, and mix audio in your video. However, they are really expensive.

6) Video Editing Accessories

Apart from all these things you need some other things as well while doing this such as noise-cancellation headphones, extra cables, USB ports to connect multiple sources, and a digital camera.
