To teach yourself video production, start with official editing software training, add your camera gear's tutorials, then learn channel strategy.
The most efficient way to learn video production on your own is to build the basics with official editing software training, then add tutorials for the gear you actually use and a guide to running a YouTube channel. Video runs from planning and shooting through editing, color grading, and upload, so scattered tip videos make it hard to see where your gaps are.
This list favors learning material published directly by software makers, equipment makers, and the platform itself, rather than collections of personal tricks. Official material tends to stay accurate across versions and teaches the terminology as the software uses it.

How to choose
If you are just starting a channel and wonder about policy and monetization rules, begin with No. 1, YouTube Creators. If you are learning to edit and cost matters, No. 2, the DaVinci Resolve training, is a safe pick. If you already pay for Adobe, go to No. 3, and if you work on a Mac, No. 4 fits naturally. If you just bought shooting gear, search for your model on No. 5, DJI Tutorials.
Treat No. 6, Think Media, as a technique reference only, and recheck platform policy and gear pricing on Korean official channels. Rather than trying to watch everything, pick one editor, finish a short video from start to end, and add resources as gaps appear.

Frequently asked questions
Which editing software should I learn first?
DaVinci Resolve is a solid free starting point, and Premiere Pro makes sense if you are comfortable with subscription software. Final Cut Pro is worth considering on a Mac, so pick based on your setup.
Where do I find tutorials for my camera gear?
If you use DJI equipment, search DJI Tutorials for your exact model name. Firmware updates can change the controls, so check the most recent video available.
Do techniques from overseas channels apply directly in Korea?
Shooting and editing technique mostly translates, but platform policy, gear pricing, and monetization rules can differ by country. Treat channels like Think Media as a technique reference and check policy on Korean official channels.
Where can I check YouTube policy and monetization requirements?
Official sources such as the YouTube Creators channel and YouTube Help are the most accurate. Policies change often, so treat personal blogs and older videos as background only.
Is the DaVinci Resolve training free?
Blackmagic Design provides official learning material that is presented as free to access. Coverage and terms can change, so confirm on the official page.
In what order should I study?
Learn the basics of an editing program first, add tutorials for your shooting gear, then move on to channel strategy. Finishing a short video yourself shows you which areas to fill in.
