New Hobby - Video Editing

[N1ckman21]

I've always been interested in getting into video editing, more than anythiy for fun/ personal use.  Recently, though, I got access to Adobe premiere; and I have no idea where to start. Could anyone with more experience share some resources or tips related to video editing or software? Thanks!

I used to use iMovie a lot to make movies with all sorts of effects.

Watch free You Tube videos for tutorials, or get paid courses.

VSDC Video Editor is a free video editor if you're looking for something free to get started.
It looks fairly easy to use. I watched David(Ferb) as he used it to sync the video and audio of our wedding video, because he recorded the two separately, and one started at a different time from the other.
It also looks like it's easy enough to do other little editing things, like snipping a video, etc. It is a free version of paid software, but it looks like you can do a lot in the free version, but you're limited to certain settings. @Ferbwould know more about it than I would.

When I was young, I used to play with Adobe After Effects to add "lightsabers" everywhere (rotoscoping them in video took much time )

You can look at each subheading and search You Tube or similar for free tutorials. 
There is no short cut in learning, even for hobby time needs to be invested to learn features of the software.
