I gave 16 editors this piece of raw footage

and 48 hours to turn it into the most crazy short form edit you've ever seen.

And the editors that created the most impressive edit get to take home a $1000 cash prize.

After 48 hours, I reviewed all 16 of the edits.

And it's safe to say, I was mind blown by what they created.

That's super creative.

Wow, that is awesome.

Oh, this is awesome, bro.

Why do you do this, bro?

Oh, Zahir, you're good at what you do, man.

I retire as a video editor.

This was the $1 ,000 June editing competition.

And in this video, you're going to see what it's like for 16 editors to battle for $1 ,000, the top 5 craziest short form edits that were submitted,

and the 3 edits that took home $1 ,000 in prizes.

Now of course, all the editors in this video learned editing on the best

platform for beginner editors to master the viral editing styles in 2026.

Ultimate Editors 2 .0, which I'll tell you more about later on the video.

Before we see some crazy edits, first let's travel back in time to 48 hours ago, where I hosted this editing competition announcement call in the community.

On this call, I explained

that the way this competition works is first I'll be giving you this raw short form video with its script.

Then each editor has exactly 48 hours to create the most stunning edit I have ever seen, which after reviewing the edits later in the video, you're going to see how crazy these edits were.

And 48 hours later, after creating the inside this Google Drive folder here, which was full of 16 crazy short form edits for me to review,

which meant that now it was time to judge all these edits and find out who the top three best edits were.

Our first place winner is going to take home $500, our second place winner would win $350, and our third place winner gets $150.

So here are the top five best edits that were created in this editing competition, starting with fifth place all the way to first and second place,

difficult to choose the winner.

Oh this is awesome bro.

Why do you do this bro?

Starting with our fifth place contestant Ashik who has been in the community for just over a month

but still created some stunning animations.

Take a look at this edit.

Getting hired as a video editor in 2026 comes down to three simple steps.

Ooh, wow.

The problem is 90 % of editors give up after a second.

Beautiful use of B -roll is become a viral editor.

You took that straight from my personal brand.

Average editors, great animation, very creative.

They want to hire an editor that knows how to turn the raw, boring footage into the viral edits that actually perform.

Very creative.

Good draw, bro.

That's why it's more important than ever to master the viral editing styles of 2026.

Not a fan of the color combination there.

The brand.

Russell Brunson said you can't build something great animation, but I know you just took that from the course, but it's awesome.

You need to market your editing skills.

Not a fan of the captions.

You must build a social media page and - Huge fan of the animation, but the colors need definitely some work.

Quality clients.

Finally, step number three is treat your clients like kings.

The real money is in the clients - That's a beautiful animation.

Wow.

And finish before - Wow, great job animations from - And go above and beyond to make sure that your clients actually text.

And if you just do these three things, you'll never need to find clients ever again.

That's, oh my goodness, bro.

Damn.

There's so much to dissect here.

Start off with the hook.

The subtitles here look beautiful.

This three -piece UI, this genuinely looks so beautiful.

So now when we transition to here, text actually doesn't really look high quality.

I'm a huge fan of this animation.

Great animation as well over here.

The text is definitely too dark though.

The weird gray background, not a fan of it.

The dark gray text, not a fan of it.

Here, I'm a huge fan of this animation, but the colors just don't work.

This is a great animation.

I'm gonna give you credit for it.

Yeah, this is beautiful animation, but just the colors, man.

You executed better designs, still lack in the attention to detail

which is where the big problem is now ashik's edit was

great especially considering he's only been editing for one month in ultimate editors

but it's nowhere near what i saw in the first

and second place which were editors who were in the community for more than one year

and again as you guys watch the rest of the video you're going to be thinking wow these edits look

so good i wish i could create something like

that the truth is each

and every single one of these editors in this video started out not even knowing any of the editing programs

but using ultimate editors they were able to go from complete beginner to viral creating edits like these.

They even all made thousands of dollars of video editing.

If you guys are new to video editing and you want to learn how to edit viral videos like these guys, check out Ultimate Editors.

The link is going to be down below.

Now it was time to review our fourth place contestant, Yogesh, who despite only being in the community for 60 days, created a hyper engaging short form edit.

Take a look for yourself.

Getting hired as a video editor in 2026 comes down to 3.

Beautiful UI.

I like it.

Wow, great tracking.

Oh my goodness, that's beautiful.

A viral editor.

Great text.

Not a fan of the blur, but I'm a huge fan of the text.

Wow, that's beautiful.

That's great placement.

Great design.

Simple.

Good use of colors, by the way, bro.

2026. Good use of the fonts.

Russell Brunson said you can't build something amazing and expect...

100

I love this animation.

101

It's reused, but I just love it.

102

Great, great font.

103

Rough cut, by the way.

104

I love the design.

105

Wow, that's beautiful design, bro.

106

Treat your clients like kings.

107

is in the clients that never want to.

108

Hey, using a straight from the course for deadlines.

109

And go above and beyond.

110

I love the captions.

111

Make sure that your clients actually love you.

112

And if you just do these three things, you'll never need to find clients ever again.

113

Wow.

114

Okay, there's so much that you did right, Yogesh.

115

The hook animation here.

116

Three -piece UI straight from my personal brand.

117

Looks great.

118

Good color selection.

119

I love the fact that you did the tracking.

120

Step one, not a fan of the masking out.

121

Over here, another animation.

122

Very simple.

123

Captions are awesome.

124

Animation reused, but you executed it.

125

Perfect.

126

This beautiful UI animation.

127

It just looks absolutely awesome, man.

128

Yogesh, you killed it, bro.

129

I think the next steps for you to work on is creativity.

130

It's coming up with more animations of your own because your designs look awesome.

131

Yogesh's edit was awesome, but trust me, when you see the edits in first and second place, you're going to go insane, just like I did.

132

And again, Yogesh has only been learning editing for 60 days in Ultimate Editors, which just goes to show how much you can learn in two months inside of our program.

133

The link's gonna be down below.

134

Now, getting into third place, this editor was the one that ended up taking home $150.

135

This is Felipe, who has been an editor for seven years, but inside Ultimate Editors for just one month.

136

Felipe decided to add an AI angle into this edit, which due to his high quality design, looked amazing.

137

Take a look at the edit.

138

Felipe has a lot of background in long form editing.

139

I'm super excited to see how this is going to go.

140

Here we go.

141

Getting hired as a video editor in 2026 comes down to three seconds.

142

Not a huge fan of the caption colors, but that's beautiful.

143

The problem is 90 % of editors give up after the second step.

144

Step one is become a viral editor.

145

Business owners don't want to hire average editors anymore.

146

They want to hire the editor that knows how to turn the raw, boring footage into the viral edits that actually perform.

147

That's why it's more important than ever to master the viral editing styles of 2026.

148

Step number two is build your brand.

149

Russell Brunson said you can't build something amazing and expect people to find it.

150

Beautiful text, market your editing skills.

151

To do this, you must build a social media page and post your best work to attract the highest quality of clients.

152

I'm in it.

153

I'm going to give you so much props for using AI for clients like kings.

154

The real money is in the clients that never want to be.

155

captions, great colors, great background, great text, wow, to make sure that your clients actually love you.

156

Beautiful, beautiful colors, man.

157

You'll never need to find clients ever again.

158

My man, you absolutely butchered it.

159

You've got simple captions.

160

I'm not a fan of the colors.

161

Dark gray with black shirt doesn't mix too well.

162

Beautiful, very creative scene.

163

And then you've got 3D text that actually fits really well into the scene.

164

You've got the attention and detail taking the same plant that I've got in my recording.

165

And then this section here, these graphics all being mixed together with the shadows, that's super creative.

166

And these final caption scenes over with the zooms being transitioned in.

167

Wow, your design is awesome.

168

Your creativity is special.

169

Your music is great.

170

The uniqueness of this edit, that is awesome.

171

These were the big guys.

172

In second place came Wade.

173

Although it was very hard to put him in second and not first place, Wade has been in Ultimate Editors for just over a year and created what I believe is the perfect short form video.

174

Take a look for yourself.

175

Getting hired as a video editor in 2026 comes down to three simple steps.

176

The problem is 90 % of editors give up after the second step.

177

viral editor.

178

Business owners don't want to hire average editors anymore.

179

They want to hire the editor that knows how to turn the raw boring footage into the viral edits that actually perform.

180

That's why it's more important than ever to master the viral editing styles of 2026.

181

Step number two is build your brand.

182

Russell Brunson said you can't build something amazing and expect people to find it.

183

You need to market your editing skills.

184

To do this, you must build a social media page and post your best work to attract the highest quality clients.

185

Finally, step number three is treat your clients

186

that is awesome real money is in the clients

187

that never want to leave over deliver and finish before deadlines

188

and go above and beyond to make sure

189

that your clients actually love you and

190

if you just do these three things you'll never need to find clients ever again

191

oh this is awesome bro hook animation shows arrow beautiful captions straight into tracking you knew exactly why i put

192

that in the script beautiful three -step animation the blacks are not harsh

193

and the colors are just beautiful beautiful painting design that's one

194

of my favorite animations i've ever watched he mentioned the detail with where the text is that's just

195

wade i think i think you might have the best edit here so far wade ended up taking home 350

196

he won my complete respect because of how high -end his short form edit was.

197

And although his edit was pretty much perfect, the first place winner was even better because it incorporated the one thing that Wade forgot to include in his edit.

198

So before we take a look at the first place winner, one thing to note is that Wade joined Ultimate Editors as a complete beginner.

199

He didn't even know how to use Premiere Pro or After Effects.

200

And now these are the edits that he's creating.

201

And he's not the only one.

202

Every editor that joins Ultimate Editors goes from a beginner to an expert in a very short amount

203

because Ultimate Editors is the step -by -step program designed to take beginner editors

204

and turn them into viral editors in just 90 days.

205

To do this we first take editors through our Premiere Pro and After Effects Masterclass, where we teach them the editing programs from scratch.

206

Then we teach them the viral editing styles of 2026, the cinematic short film editing style, the minimal animation style, the sas motion design style, and the 30 + viral animation breakdowns.

207

On top of this, once we have turned them into viral editors, we run them through our $2 ,000 per month editor blueprint, to making $2 ,000 with video editing.

208

I recently interviewed four of our editors who have in total

209

made more than $10 ,000 with editing in the last 30 days.

210

214

But now that it was finally time to review the first place winner, home $500 from this editing competition.

215

Yeah, I'm expecting this is gonna look awesome and it's going to exceed all expectations.

216

Getting hired as a video editor in 2026 comes down to three simple steps.

217

The problem is 90 % of editors give up after the second step.

218

Step one is become a viral editor.

219

Business owners don't want to hire average editors anymore.

220

They want to hire the editor that knows how to turn the raw boring footage into the viral edits that actually perform.

221

That's why it's more of 2026.

222

Step number two is build your brand.

223

Russell Brunson said you can't build something amazing and expect people to - Oh my goodness that looks beautiful.

224

You need to market your editing skills.

225

To do this you must build a social media page and post your best work to attract the highest quality clients.

226

Finally step number three is treat your clients like kings.

227

The real money is in the clients that never want to leave.

228

Over deliver and finish before deadlines.

229

And go above and beyond to make sure that your clients actually love you.

230

And if you just do these three things you'll never need Bye.

231

Thank you.

232

i retire as a video editor damn oh my goodness no that's

233

so many people

234

that were on the come up why do you do this

235

241

That's one thing you are.

242

Zaheer Zaheer was so insanely good that he simply deserved first place.

243

And now that we know who the winners of the editing competitions were, it was finally time to go into the community and announce it.

244

So I hopped on our winner announcement call, got all 30 plus editors inside, and it was time to tell them who won the editing competition.

245

Let's get right in.

246

Since a lot of you guys think Wade and Zaheer are the winner, I'm going to start with top five.

247

And then we're going to work our way up.

248

In this Google Drive, position was it was actually Ashik.

249

The person who came in fourth place was actually, out of these edits, was Yogesh.

250

And now on to the editors that are going to be getting prizes.

251

In third place, this is going to be both exciting and sad.

252

The person in third place, it's actually going to be Felipe.

253

In second place, the person taking home $350, it's going to be Wade.

254

The person that came it's Zaheer who came in first place.

255

With announcing the winners of the editing competitions who were taking

256

home a thousand dollars worth of prizes I had to hear their thoughts and what their experience was like in this competition.

257

I'm with the official winners let's go!

258

Felipe did you expect to be third place?

259

No I was competing just for for fun.

260

So Felipe how long have you been editing for?

261

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
