I learned how to edit by trial and error on the programs I have used. Every now and again I will watch a YouTube video to learn something new.

I just messed around with the software I got, read a few articles, and also watched a few basic videos.

Learned a bit just from watching peoples videos too. Like just the style of video people make, and what styles best for what game :)

I'm self taught, and like JohnnyMaboy I view a lot of videos on YouTube, attempt the editing style, and eventually see what fits with the video I am making.

I'm self taught, I learnt by messing around with Movie Maker. And then I relied on Youtube tutorials to figure out how to use Lightworks.
Although I can only really do basic editing.

Trial and error.
I just try stuff, and learn new things over time. :p

Well I learned to Edit in college and then really learned when I started doing it for a job back in 96. My first job was editing film and videos before non linear editing was out.. When my company got an AVID.. since I was the youngest they thought I would be the one to grasp it the easiest so they sent me off to AVID school and got me certified. Since then I have used every imaginable editing software out there. When I am not making sill YouTube videos I edit documentaries.
Wow, so in your experience; what is your personal favorite editing software? One day I'd like to get as fancy as making music videos. Similar to what YouTuber Matthias does.

My favorite is AVID followed by Final Cut 7 and Adobe Premier.
