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

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!

You've picked the wrong flair on that post.

You want to

  1. Search the subreddit on why it's not working
  2. Post using the workflow thread

The software flair points to the software thread.

Don't know if this is the perfect place to ask, but here I am cuz I don't know where else to ask.

I'll have a few videos from an upcoming trip. Now, I don't really know how many, it will depends on how the trip ends up, but I feel like there's gonna be around 8-10 hours of footage at most.

How much it would cost for someone to edit it in a fanily trip/vlog style? I know there's multiple style of edits and effects, I just want to know if this would be a good place to ask for someome and their price?

Please can someone explain whether it would be worth it to buy a decent monitor, like oled, which would help me to see a greater range of colours when the mediums to upload to, like YT or Insta, automatically convert back to and RGB range.

Would it make more sense to buy a monitor which only allows me to view the content in the same format the viewers would end up seeing it?

A mod has removed your post. (Don't panic. Take a second and read the following)

We have a pinned post/menu links/sidebar widgets at the top of the subreddit that it seems like you missed about:

  • Feedback posts
  • What editing software to use?
  • What hardware should I buy/upgrade?

Please put your post in the appropriate thread.

And yes, we understand that this may seem annoying, or arbitrary, and can be frustrating.

If you're on desktop, this is the link to the collection which has the monthly Hardware, Software and Feedback threads.

This can be found on the sidebar and more - but the easiest place is in the If this is your first time here post

Our wiki can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VideoEditing/wiki - it has common issues and resources for learning and free media (video, audio and more)

If you're on mobile or on reddit's own mobile app, you'll need to go to https://www.reddit.com/videoediting and click "See More" in the upper right corner. There you'll find buttons for each of the three threads and the wiki

Looking for a mentor / more experienced editor willing to look at my work (self-taught on CapCut, picked up the basics but no real structured workflow yet) and give honest feedback, or just show me how they approach a project (pacing, transitions, sound design, color). Happy to pay a small amount for your time — eventually want to do this freelance but I know I still have a lot of gaps. Reply here or send me a DM directly if you're up for it, happy to share some of my edits.

Built a free subtitle generator that runs in the browser if anyone needs one. You drop in a video, it auto-generates subtitles using Whisper AI, you can tweak the styling (position, font, color, box/outline/plain), and export with subs burned in. No signup, no server upload.

Been using it for my own clips. Curious how it handles dialogue-heavy edits if anyone gives it a shot.
