What editing software do you use for YouTube? Bonus question: Are you happy with it or considering a switch? 🎬

Many of you made comments on the thumbnail for this video several weeks ago when I first started working on the video. I thought I would share it here for a couple of reasons. And this is a video that I’ve always wanted to make. Also, today is my 81st birthday and it was important to me to release this video on this day. If you watch the video you’ll understand. I can’t tell you how much this group and all of you mean to me. Whatever success I’m having on my channel much of it is due to all of you. https://youtu.be/c_GlVsk9qhM?si=rTcQ0PUmTa0kXgXF

I’d love to know what editing software everyone uses for their YT videos.

Today, I’m celebrating a small but meaningful win: my YouTube channel has reached 100 subscribers. Since starting this journey on October 16, 2024, most of my videos have been getting around 40-50 views. Honestly, I’ve questioned whether my efforts were even making a dent. It’s easy to compare yourself to channels with thousands or millions of subscribers and feel like you’re falling short. Every single one of those 100 subscribers represents someone who connected with what I’m creating. That’s what makes this journey so special—it’s about progress, not perfection. If you’re struggling with your own growth, I want you to know that you’re not alone. It’s easy to feel like you’re shouting into the void, but remember: every video, every post, every moment you share is an opportunity to connect with someone new. Don’t give up. To the creators out there: what’s been a moment in your journey that made you pause and smile?

I have a daughter with Down syndrome and she played Beethoven's Ode To Joy with our local Phoenix Youth Symphony, a professional Youth Orchestra. It was filmed by a TV station, but we did our own recording. I uploaded it just 3 days ago and it has 34K views already, 1.3K LIKES and I gained 200 Subscribers so far. Each hour I see thousands more. For this video I don't care about the status in YT, but the fact that my daughter is bringing so much hope and joy to people all over the world. You can see the video here and support my daughter Christina, who has overcome so many obstacles in her little life so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=425_vCxViJw&t=2s
