I wanted to refresh my skills and learn its newest features, so I decided to work on a personal vlog to practice. I spent some time relearning the tools and trying out new AI features like Auto-Captioning, which helped speed things up.&nbsp;I also experimented with the Text-Based Editing tool, which let me edit video directly from the transcript, an incredibly efficient way to cut down on unnecessary takes. I explored Auto Tone Mapping for improved color consistency when combining footage from different cameras and used Scene Edit Detection to break down long clips into separate shots automatically. These updates made the editing workflow much smoother and gave me more time to focus on refining the creative aspects of the video.
