Motivation

[cyverion]

So I have tons of video that I've shot over the past 10-12 months but I only edit and post up about 1/5 of what I shoot. It's not that I don't like editing I just find it hard to get motivated to really dive into it. Any ideas or suggestions on what I could do? Now I'm not trying to go crazy and post like 3 times a week but I'd at least like to get something up every week or bi weekly at the very least.

What do you guys do to help you get motivated to edit video?

I know what your going through. I've got a full time job plus a family so it's a labour of love hey. I film a few vlogs at once then trickle them out a week at a time.

Yea, I remember when it finally hit me to record multiple vlogs in one session. I felt really dumb lol. I hear you on the whole life thing...Working 10hr days myself plus trying to keep some semblance of a social life leaves me hardly anytime to edit and when I do get some down time I just end up vegging out.

1/5th? I use a lot less than that. I find its not fun to try and scrap something together from mostly boring footage. But if ive recorded something good I'll tend to edit it within a day or so. So, although its probably not good advice, I'd forget the footage you have recorded if it (itself) doesnt motivate you to edit it.

I agree with Nerb.
I must have filmed about 4 or 5 hours since I got my Drift. and I've uploaded about 15 or 20 minutes of video haha!
