I am new to Metal, and have no experience with OpenGL, shaders, or GPU commands. I have been trying to use Metal for video editing, and have gotten some basic stuff working, though it has been a very slow process, as the learning curve for Metal is quite steep, especially if you are coming at it as a complete GPU novice.
Can someone recommend some good resources (i.e. books or video courses) that may help me to get a better grip with the basics of Metal, and use it focused as a video editor?

Welcome to Metal!
We have a number of sessions from previous WWDCs that you can use as introduction to Metal: Adopting Metal Part 1 and Part 2
The Metal community has also created some excellent materials. See Janie Clayton’s Metal Programming Guide, as well as Warren Moore’s Metal By Example.
We also recommend reviewing our code samples to get familiarized with the concepts in the API.
We’d also love to hear more about the kind of video editing that your are trying to achieve.
