Polished transcript:

Male Female

Social media is a significant part of my life where I post different kinds of videos and pictures. For that reason, I wanted to gain new experience in video editing. First of all, I was not aware of how to edit videos, how to cut video clips, and then add audio and effects. After that, I realized there are many applications on the Play Store where I can download and edit my videos. At first, I had no knowledge of this. So, I opened YouTube and found tutorial videos about it. After watching, I felt I could do it myself, so I tried to edit my recent video from my visit to Vancouver, where I captured the beautiful ice-covered mountains, lakes, and cities. I joined all the clips together, added some effects, and included my favorite music in the video. After that, it turned out great, and when I posted it online, my friends liked it. I was glad that everyone wanted to learn some video editing from me, and now I have some knowledge about this.
