    Stock Footage sites vs Personal website

    Thanks for the replies. I figured that would be the case but I wanted to be sure. I'm going to find my niche and lean into my own style moving forward and do self-promotion via social media. That seems to be the best calling card these days.

    Stock Footage sites vs Personal website

    I did a search and only saw a few older posts on the subject, so I wanted to bring it up again to see if anything has recently changed.

    Best laptop for drone video editing?

    Interesting you say that. I had considered the Dell XPS 15 laptop it was just a bit pricier than i thought and that was for the 16gb ram haha. Have you heard anything about Surface Book 2 [also pricey] but kept seeing it in lists of best laptops for video editing.

    Best laptop for drone video editing?

    I'm always on the go and have a preference for a laptop right now. I'm not too keen on Apple due to the price - but at the same time I feel like everyone recommends them for good reason. From my limited research it seems like 16gb - 32 gb ram and large storage is what I should be looking for to...
