About the Session

Editing isn’t just technical — it’s emotional, psychological, and deeply human. In this session, editor Vinnie Hobbs, of VH Post and Union Editorial, shares the mindset that’s helped him cut award-winning music videos and commercials, not just with skill, but with soul. You’ll explore what it means to edit with intention, how to stay inspired when burnout hits, and why stepping out from behind the screen is just as vital as mastering it.

This talk isn’t a software tutorial — it’s about purpose, passion, and the long game. Join Vinnie as he shares thoughts and inspiration on:

  • How to reignite your creative spark when the work feels draining
  • Understanding how personal growth fuels editorial growth
  • Why networking and confidence matter as much as technique
  • Redefining “success” as an editor beyond the timeline
  • How to build a career, not just a reel
