Editing

[FayetheADHDsquirrel]

While I tend to find that attempts to learn coding are highly stressful, unbearably boring, and even cause a physical sensation of pressure on my head, I actually enjoy editing photos and videos using editing software. I haven't taken classes for most of it. I just figure it out as I go for the most part and seem to figure it out easily. This seems to be backwards from what others here on the forum prefer to do, but it is what it is. Are there jobs that you can obtain by building skills in this area without having to know any programming languages?

Are there jobs that you can obtain by building skills in this area without having to know any programming languages?

It may be helpful to first understand that you must consider just how competitive art jobs of all kinds are in the marketplace. That it's quite likely for many employers to expect prospective applicants to have such qualifications, apart from demonstrating above average conventional graphic art/photographic skills through on online portfolio.

It might be possible for some, but I'm assuming they would have to demonstrate superior yet subjective skills as an artist to compensate for a lack of technical skills expected or required in the twenty-first century.

"While programming skills are not strictly required for graphic artists, having coding knowledge can significantly enhance their career prospects and improve collaboration with developers. Many employers value candidates who can integrate design and development skills, making them more versatile in the job market." -Duck Duck Go AI Search Assist

Are photography, hand written calligraphy, and poetry beneficial? I even have some projects where I have written a poem that describes one of my photographs written below in a hand written calligraphy style. Those particular projects didn't even need editing besides some basic zoom and crop. I was told years ago that I am a natural at photography and I have been developing calligraphy skills ever since I was around 11 years old. I have some poems that people say are pretty good as well. I think the poems come similar as to how my riddles do.

Properly editing simply one frame of footage (4K to 8K of recent) can net you contract work ongoing. Next time you sit through the end credits of a Marvel movie, look how many names are credited for the VFX work and per how many different companies were used. They will seriously farm out jobs to about 24 frames per person. 24 frames per second is film / movie speed, of course. You may get more, maybe less. It may be a quota you have to hit as a team doing the same scene. Overall, it's plentiful work to get, but the pay ranges can be all over the place due to who are paying / budget of the project (even though this work is back end payments). The only issue will be if you can or can't get into one of said companies that do this specifically. If you go it alone doing contract to contract, you will have higher costs for your health insurance and such. Companies (the more people the better) is how insurance premiums / packages get lower rates.
