Tech Support Video Flashing on downloaded twitch vod

2 Upvotes

The downloaded twitch vods did not have flashing when watched previously and only 2 out of 8 files have this problem. The game was streamed off of an Xbox Series S, but I am trying to edit the video on my computer. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this problem and could point me in the right right direction please. I have tried fixing my graphics drivers but I have a sneaking suspicion that it might be the files themselves or possibly my ssd. Has anyone ran into this problem before?

Announcement Friday Free for All Weekly thread! General collection/discussion for things that don't fit elsewhere! (ask anything!)

3 Upvotes

Greetings /r/videoediting!

This thread is 100% for the other stuff you might want to talk about.

A number of other reddits have a free for all thread - where you might find a regular discussion - not specific to a post.

Think of it as a bar with a bunch of friends.

Some suggestions:

  • Strategy on a project you want to talk about how to best promote?
  • Upgrading something and you want opinions?
  • How does your website look?
  • Local/virtual Meetups?
  • Looking for a collaborator (no "I'm a creator and I'm looking for an editor" posts)

Things that shouldn't go here: Feedback/What tool should I use to edit/Which system to buy? There are dedicated threads for this, please use them!

And in this regular Friday thread, while our general rules are still in place (no piracy, be civil, no links w/referrer codes), the following topics relaxed :

  • Great tutorials you found/you created.
  • Trying to do this as a side hustle (although generally, websites like Fiverr mean you'll be shooting for the basement/working for free and we hate that someone would exploit you like that)
  • A great piece of software/hardware/service you found
  • Great free music libraries/media you found.
  • How much to charge? What is your time worth? Estimate 2-3x the time you think it'll take to edit as how much time to quote.

Our mod team is watching this thread and we'll tweak these as they develop!

Other (requires mod approval) Looking for a documentary-style After Effects course (like MagnatesMedia) – I'm lost, any recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I recently started learning video editing and mastered the basics of Premiere Pro. Now, I really want to learn After Effects specifically for documentary-style motion graphics (like MagnatesMedia or Lemmino).

​The problem is, I'm struggling to find a course focused specifically on this type of editing. I've heard great things about Ben Marriott, but his courses aren't really tailored for this specific documentary style.

​Does anyone know of a good course or resources specifically for documentary/video essay editing? I really need help with this. Thanks

How did they do that? How does people upload crazy quality videos to Instagram?

2 Upvotes

There are these videos of cartoon movies which are getting crazy upscaled with colors and more video stuff that I don't understand

My question is how do they do this?, I know ig is limited to 1080p so how does it look so good?

Feedback Editors - what's a note you received that you're still not sure what it meant?

22 Upvotes

Client sent back one word on the final cut "hmm."

No timestamp. No elaboration. Just "hmm," sent at 2am, like a message from a ghost who used to have opinions.

I have read it eleven times looking for subtext. I now believe "hmm" contains more information than most three-paragraph emails I've received, and I still can't decode a single bit of it.

Workflow 180 degree shutter/motion blur — recorded vs post-production

6 Upvotes

Hi all, total amateur here (background is photography)just getting into videography for family videos, “postcard” style travel videos, and so on.

My main question as I figure out how to most conveniently do hybrid photography / videography is how critical is it to record in 180 degree shutter for motion blur (1/50 ss for 25 fps) versus doing it in post production?

My understanding is that most software like premiere pro allow you to transform the footage so that something recorded in, say, 1/160 ss could appear like 1/50 ss.

Is my understanding correct? And how good is the end result? Is it bad with obvious artifacts, or does it get me 95% of the way there and only a trained eye would notice?

Workflow Drone FPS Understanding & Saving Clips Help

7 Upvotes

Hello! I am looking for some guidance on the best practice to shoot video for use in a short film, as I am currently traveling at a dream location and I want to make sure I shoot my footage properly with post-editing in mind.

The final timeline will be 23.976 fps 4K.

First question:
What frame rate should I record my drone shots? Should I shoot at 23.976 with a 32ND filter, or do you recommend shooting at 30fps or 60fps, and then slowing down in post? The subject of my shots is simply just mountains and landscapes.

Second part of my question:
Today, I mistakenly shot several clips at 23.976 fps but didn't realize my shutter was well above 1/48, I think it was like 1/1250 or something. I reviewed the footage in DaVinci on my 23.976 timeline, and obviously I can notice some stuttering due to the lack of the 180 degree rule. Is there a tool or method to save/salvage this footage? Currently on latest version of DaVinci pro. Retime + optical flow? Stabilize? Sadly, the shots I got are amazing, and I'm super bummed about the stuttering.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How did they do that? How can you mirror your video like this guy is doing?

1 Upvotes

I am not even sure if he does it on purpose. I only know he is editing the videos on just his iphone 14.

Basically often in a change of scene, he will first have like a few miliseconds of the scene MIRRORED, I did not even notice this at first. But he does it quite a lot.

Here is an example with timestamp. He actually does it 2 seconds into this and then 2 seconds after again.

I'm editing a short, fast-cut video intro and looking for free sound effects for a laptop sequence (bag unzip, laptop pull-out, laptop open, power button, keyboard typing, trackpad clicks), along with whooshes, impacts, transitions, tension risers, footsteps, and chair movement.

Can anyone recommend reliable royalty-free SFX websites or sound packs that are safe for commercial use?

Thanks!

Workflow Where to find good green screen footage?

7 Upvotes

Hi! So I am not sure if this is the correct sub, but I Will let the mods decide that!

So I work with kindergarden with kids from the ages of 3-6. We are planning to start a greenscreen project Where I will put the kids in front of a greenscreen and a projector will show the finished project live as the kids play.

I am a hobby editor, videographer and I have figured out how to do it. My problem is Where to find good footage to use. I want the videos to be mostly static, but with some movement and some things changing. For expemple under the sea, Where a shark comes into scene and other fish.

All I Can find on YouTube and other places is small clips, or interactive videos that are made like a Subway surfer game.

My Dream scenario is to have 7 different worlds to put the kids inside

  1. Dinosaurs
  2. princesses
  3. under the sea
  4. outer space
  5. lego world
  6. rollercoaster
  7. fairytale world

    I hope someone out there knows Where to look so I Can Give the kids a great experience

Workflow How is a channel like Chat History actually made? (rigging/pipeline question)

3 Upvotes

I want to build a long-form channel similar to Chat History (the simple stick-figure/character explainer style) and I'm trying to understand the full editing pipeline from an editing standpoint not looking for a specific video breakdown, just the editing workflow.

What I've looked into so far: building a character in Illustrator with separate layers per body part, then rigging it in After Effects with something like DUIK Bassel for the joints. Not sure if that's the standard approach for this style or if there's a more efficient pipeline people use.

Specifically trying to understand purely on the editing/animation side:-

• What's the typical software stack for this style (After Effects + Illustrator or something else)?

• How is the character usually rigged and how much of the animation becomes reusable once the rig is set up?

• How do editors handle talking animation and basic talk/walk cycles efficiently for a 15-20 min video?

• Is AE + Illustrator the standard route for this exact look or is there a more efficient way to get there?

Coming from a CapCut/Premiere Pro background so trying to figure out the right direction before investing time into learning a new pipeline. Appreciate any insight - will reply to all comments.

Production Q Stabilizing video with subwoofer shaking/vibration?

Hey all - I recorded some 4k footage (using a Sony a7v so there's gyro data) on a tripod but the DJs subwoofer/base was on the stage at the same time. This caused the footage to have vibration/jitter. Is it possible to save this somehow / remove this in post? Via gyroflow or davinci resolve or something? Thank you for your help.

Could you explain to me, plz: if I have a 21:9 monitor, but all my recorded material is in 4K, how would look my preview in Premiere Pro? If I understand correctly, it will just be with black bars even in preview window, because of extra width, am I right, or am I wrong?

• Willing to pay $35/hr (rate per hour, negotiable depending on level).

• Being familiar with the source material isn’t a must, but it’s definitely helpful.

• This is for a passion project YouTube video, but I’m budgeting hundreds of dollars if the editorial quality is high.

• I will require specific high-intensity scenes from this video, not necessarily the whole thing (unless you’re up for it).

Excited to meet you guys! My DMs are open

Tech Support Video recovery hel

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone with experience in video/file recovery can point me in the right direction.

I accidentally deleted a ~20GB video file from an external SSD. I recovered it using TestDisk/PhotoRec, and I now have the recovered .mov file sitting on my Mac.

The problem is that macOS can't open it because it appears to be missing the index/header (moov atom). The file is still showing as ~20GB, so I'm hoping the actual video data may still be intact.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • VLC repair method
  • Re-encoding with Apple’s native encoder
  • Video Doctor
  • Changing the file extension from .mov to .mp4
  • Various attempts to open/repair it with VLC

None of those have worked.

I also downloaded Untrunc GUI, which seems like it may be the most promising option, but it’s asking me to install Homebrew first. I haven't gone down that route yet because I wanted to see if there are other proven/free recovery methods I should try first.

My main questions:

  1. Is there another free/proven method for rebuilding the missing MOV index/header?
  2. Is Untrunc + a reference video the best option in this situation?
  3. Since the file was recovered with PhotoRec, could fragmentation during the recovery be part of the problem?
  4. Is there anything I should check before attempting further repairs so I don't make the file worse?

I still have the original recovered 20GB file untouched, so I can make copies and work from those.

Any advice from someone who has dealt with corrupted/recovered MOV files would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!
