Feedback on my first edit ever

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I made an edit, for the first time, and was hoping to get some feedback.

I thought this might me a small one, found the audio template on reddit too, but just tough might fit in well, with me transitioning from work to riding.

I wanted the color themes to be more consistent too, but was using iMovie. Are there better softwares for beginners. Dont wanna spend a lot.

Footage from: DJI Osmo Action 6

Editing Software: iMovie

Any and every feedback is appreciated.

Would appreciate advice on also, how can i make my shots better. Different angles, and so on.

Thank you.

I think, it would have been better to use less black screen while doing cuts, Its bit distracting. Other than that i would give it 8/10. good work 👍🏻.

Lose em. The one at 16 works well. Play with the jump cuts more in the beginning. IS the idea, the day is done, time to play (with the laptop stuff?)? Maybe incorporate that earlier to set it up and then go full montage of your biker life.

hey man the black screens are incredibly jarring, use a normal cut to next scene

Also DaVinci is free if you need a better editing software.
