What are the best ways to gain experience in the film and video editing field?

For quite a while I've been steadily teaching myself how to edit with software such as DaVinci Resolve (best free editing software imo, but it's resource intensive) because I'm interested in video editing and would love to work as an editor out of high school, preferably through freelance work.

Stephen’s Answer

I'm the wrong one to ask. I design books, print and EPUB. However ... just generally, I would sau do as much practice work as you can. When I started out I learned the project with practice projects that I made up--for starters, résumés. I used them as samples before I had any real experience. But I can't say whether this is feasible with video.

An internship with an editing, production, or TV company. Once you become an intern let them know of your interest as an editor and they should be able to put you with that department to help you gain the experience you need so that it can turn into a career. Most Tv and film production companies all have interns in different areas, go to their websites and apply.
