Video Editing Basics with Lila

Video Editing Basics with Lila — learn to cut a travel vlog on your phone or laptop

The gist: A beginner-friendly lesson on editing footage in Adobe Rush (mobile) or Premiere Pro (desktop), taught by a full-time YouTuber — useful for travelers who want to turn raw clips into a watchable video without a steep learning curve.

• Covers both mobile and desktop: the lesson explicitly teaches editing "on mobile or desktop (Adobe Rush & Adobe Premiere Pro)," which matters when you're editing from a hostel with just a phone versus at home with a full setup.
• Taught by a working content creator: Lila is a full-time YouTuber from the Netherlands who has run her channel since 2019, publishing filmmaking and Premiere Pro tutorials.
• Recorded live Q&A included: the lesson was part of Moment's 2021 Invitational Film Festival Workshop and includes a recorded Q&A session with Lila, not just a scripted tutorial.
• Beginner-focused: framed around the idea that "editing is when your film actually starts to look like, well, a film" — built for people who have footage but don't yet know how to assemble it.

On her own channel, Lila is known for sharing "filmmaking tips, video editing tutorials, and vlogs for beginners, pros and everyone in between," which lines up with this lesson's beginner-accessible approach.

Best for: travelers with raw footage on their phone who want to learn basic editing without committing to a full film-school course. Skip it if: you're already comfortable in Premiere Pro — this is an entry-level lesson, not advanced technique. Runs ~$10 — check the current price before buying.
