How should I use video editing tutorials — watch them first or edit along with them?

Watch the tutorial once completely to see what needs to be done and understand what footage or materials you need to gather. Then collect all that material on your phone. After you have everything ready, play the tutorial again and edit along with it step-by-step, pausing and rewinding as needed. Don’t just watch the tutorial and try to recreate it from memory — that never works. Treat it like a hands-on masterclass. The tutorials are usually 10-15 minutes long, making this approach very manageable. This method ensures you understand each step clearly.
