First attempt at putting something together - rural scenes from Northern Ethiopia.

Hello all,
I have enjoyed watching the works of many talented people in this subforum and it is with a lot of trepidation that I share this amateurish work. I am just beginning to get the hang of color grading and cutting and I have just realised how hard editing really is. Hats off to all of you who have put up with the work and shared so many amazing videos. I will probably stick to just flying and filming.

Not so bad, you have good shots and nice colors.
The opener is a good shot but way to long, there is after 10 no variety in the picture.
Similar the next shot, you fly forward, stop and then same picture back- that would make sense if between is another perspective maybe a rotation.
For an interesting vid you need more and shorter clips/perspectives which are different- high/low, open space/more detail, different fly direction and for rotating you can use the POI function.
Most important: practice, practice and practice more.

Ciao Rob

Very much appreciate your advice Rob. You are absolutely right, I need to add some variety in my next try. Thanks.

I agree with Rob, speed up your edit a bit. If you don't have enough variety of shots, you can try speed-ramps to give it a bit more pep.
