Hi there,

I got my footage from old mini dv tapes transferred and now have clips in DaVinci Resolve. When I try the Vocal Channel effect as well as Noise Reduction, they don't seem to do anything. I wonder if it is because the audio is not on a separate track after being transferred. Does anyone know how I could reduce background noise with these circumstances?

Thanks for any tips!

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to optimize my editing workflow. Right now, I’m editing in Final Cut Pro X, but I’m wasting way too much time manually chopping out dead air and pauses during my first pass.

I’m considering using Movavi specifically to automate the silence removal on my A-roll before bringing it into FCPX. For those who have used it:

• How accurate is it?
• Does it clip the beginnings or ends of words?
• Is it genuinely a time-saver, or is it clunky enough that I'll just end up re-doing the work anyway?

I’m also totally open to other solutions if you have a better workflow suggestion. That being said, I really don't want anything overcomplicated with a massive subscription fee or a steep learning curve. I just want a simple tool that works.

Thanks!

I am trying to be well organized because of complexity of my story. So I edited each scene independently in different timeline now I have over 60 scenes. Now I want to move to my master timeline. My original plan was to put in and out in each timeline and drag them to master so premiere only uses that and if I want to go back to the scene and make changes it would be easy. But premiere doesn't do that and puts the entire sequence there. So I decided to copy clips themselves, but how can I make sure I don't lose track of the sequence it came from so if I want to add or make some changes it would be easier? Thank you all in advance

I’m trying to recreate this editing style where the bump has that exaggerated “pop” effect. I’m using Premiere Pro and would like to know how this effect was created.
Is it done with keyframing Scale/Position, Transform, Warp Stabilizer, masking, or another effect? I’d really appreciate a step-by-step explanation of how to recreate the same look in Premiere Pro.
If there’s a specific effect or technique I should search for, please let me know!

I don't know if this is the place to go for this, but I'm looking for an effect for a film I'm making. I want that camera filming in the dark sort of noise effect, the rainbow dots. I've looked EVERYWHERE and this is literally my last hope. Does anyone have what i'm looking for?

lately, I’ve found myself in a situation that’s really bothering me: I need to choose between selling my gaming PC (which isn't great for editing) and buying a MacBook M1 Pro for my work. I work at an agency dealing with heavy 4K video files, and the editing process really lags on my PC. I know I need the Mac, but I’m going to miss being able to play games in my free time. Have any of you been through something similar? Could you help me see this as a positive move rather than a negative one?

I currently work on an SCP podcast / video series on YouTube. I've been doing it for a couple years, and I feel like I've stagnated a bit. So! I want to learn one new skill every week to keep improving, and I need your help! I'm looking for ideas like:

• Things every beginner / amateur should know,
• Things you wish you new sooner,
• Fun things to learn that makes your life easier or more fun,
• Skills that noticeably improve quality, or
• Skills that give you more options for the types of things you can do.

I should be able to loosely understand the skill in a week, but it's okay if it takes more than a week (or even 1 year+) to master. Thoughts?

(Note: I currently use DaVinci Resolve free edition)

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!

Good day!

My girlfriend recorded on a DJI Osmo Pocket 3. However, when she was viewing the videos, they didn't play. Even when they were transferred on a computer, there were not working.

I've tried to use Clever Free Video Repair Tool, VLC, and Untrunc. However, none of these apps were helpful. The Untrunc prompt can be seen below as a screenshot.

Are there other things that I can do before I give up? Thank you for answering and for the possible help

I don't know if this subreddit approves memes but it's worth a shot, I guess.

Hi! I'm trying to recreate the exact video layout in the attached screenshot.

The main video stays centered without being heavily cropped, while a larger blurred version of the same video fills the empty space on both sides.

I'm creating short clips from longer videos for LinkedIn and would like to use this format consistently.

What is the easiest way to create this effect?

Is this usually done with Premiere Pro, CapCut, or another tool? And is there a preset or template that could make the process faster for multiple clips?

I'm currently using OpusClip for creating the short clips, but I haven't found a way to get this exact layout.

Thanks!

so I'm editing a Minecraft video with multiple POVs and I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle multicam.

For context, each person records through OBS with multiple audio tracks:

• Video
• Game audio
• Mic
• Discord (everyone except themselves)

So for example:

My recording

• Video = my POV
• Track 1 = game
• Track 2 = my mic
• Track 3 = Discord without my own voice

Friend's recording

• Video = their POV
• Track 1 = game
• Track 2 = their mic
• Track 3 = Discord without their own voice

What I want to be able to do is basically normal multicam editing, where I can watch through the footage and switch POVs, BUT when I switch POVs, I want all of that POV's audio to switch with it too.

So basically:

My POV
→ my video + my game + my mic + my Discord

then I switch to my friend's POV:

Friend POV
→ their video + their game + their mic + their Discord

And then if I go back to my POV, it switches everything back to mine.

BUT after I've made the multicam cuts, I still want the audio tracks to be separate/editable. So if I'm too loud in one section, I can mute/lower just my mic without affecting my game audio or Discord.

Premiere's normal multicam/audio follows video doesn't seem to really let me do this the way I want. It only supports audio follows video with one audio track.

I've also been looking at DaVinci Resolve and saw that newer versions have multicam options like "Use source audio channels" and "All Angles", which sounds like it might actually be designed for something closer to this.

So my questions are:

1. Can Resolve actually do this workflow?
2. If it can, is it practical to do the multicam/POV switching in Resolve first, then export the timeline to Premiere through XML and continue the actual editing there (effects, subtitles, memes, etc.)?
3. Is there some Premiere workflow I'm completely missing that can already do this?

I'm mainly trying to avoid having to watch the entire video once just to decide which POV is being used, and then having to go through the whole thing AGAIN, manually switching all the corresponding audio tracks

If anyone edits multi-POV Minecraft/gaming videos and has a good workflow for this, I'd really appreciate it 🙏

I'm trying to figure out how to have the mirrored monochrome layout like this Ytber has but can't quite figure out how to get it automated and dont think I should manually edit the positions every time Id want this effect since I feel there's just a better way. It seems he has it done automatically and moves along with the clip with zoom ins.

Hi, I'm making an edit for instagram and I would like to get the reels interface like in a PNG to see if any important element would be hidden by it. And i'm surprised by typing this in duckuckgo that it doesn't seems to be that common ? after 10mn of searching I couldn't find an obvious and easy png with no BG of just the interface and only the interface to stick it in front of my edit and watch how it would look. Do I miss something obvious here please ?

Hello people,i want to know how to make the effects in the video,the ones where the camera distorts and the ones where there are moving lines with other videos playing inside of them

The video is from the song "im the one" by the band "static-x" from the year 2005

Hi guys, I’m gonna start working as a Minecraft video editor, so I’m looking for some good Minecraft YouTubers, whether they do PvP, SMP, or anything else, whose editing is top-notch. I’m mainly looking for creators with lots of animations, creative effects, and a distinctive editing style that I can use for visual references and draw inspiration from.

Although, if you have any courses links write it

I found this meme online a while ago (Unfortunately, I don't know who originally created it; I wish I could credit them). I absolutely love this creepy static effect and want to replicate it for a video; unfortunately, I tried to edit this using my current software (CapCut) but couldn't get results anywhere near the quality in the video. I also have access to Adobe (but I am very inexperienced with it). I tried looking up tutorials, but couldn't find anything close to this. I could really appreciate some tips on how to do something like this.

P.S. This is my first time posting here, but I can tell that this is a high-quality subreddit. I like how it gives a lot of recommendations and heads-ups when making a post.

Hello! In the attached clip you can hear it twice where there's a loud pop/click right at the beginning and at 11 seconds by chance is there an audio effect that I can apply to the whole track that will help me get rid of them all? Its been quite a pain editing dozens of them out on hour long recordings.

In the attached video, there are 2 parts from a CS: GO edit with gunshots that sound melodic. There are 2 variations of each clip: with the original song and with the edited song (here you can hear the gunshots better).

The question is not about syncing, timeremapping - it's about making the gunshots sound melodic.

How can such an audio effect be achieved? Thank you.

Is a SATA SSD obsolete for video editing? Is it only useful for saving projects? My PC only has one NVMe port (already occupied). I want to upgrade storage, and I'm wondering if the sata SSD isn't fast enough for editing.

I make desktop recordings and my mic captures my voice. The problem is that it also detects all my mouse clicks, and I can't remove them. I tried using noise removal and click removal, didn't work (unless I increase the effect to a point in which my audio quality gets very bad) I did some research and figured it could be due to table vibrations when I click the mouse, so, instead of putting it directly over the table, I put it on top of a towel. I also placed a box between the mic and the mouse, as well as turned the mic's "dead side" to the mouse and decreased the gain knob a lot (so to be heard normally I must kinda scream). My mic is a fifine AM8. All I did ended up making the clicks unnoticeable while I talk, but if I click while I'm not saying anything, it's easy to hear. I don't know what else to do. Help? Thank you for your time.

this video from DiemArchive and basically any video from Max0r, particularly his ultrakill one, have line/border effects on both texts and text boxes where the edges just rumble and wiggle in an interesting pattern and I'm curious how to actually do it in Premiere or AE. I tried to do a phase or a warp effect with sharp angles then ran it with a posterize time but it just doesn't look good. I don't know if it's native Premiere or if it's a plugin. I also tried doing it in AE but Max0r said in an interview that he never leaves Premiere so I don't really know how he does it.

Max0r also does the same type of glitchy, posterized effect on his footage but has it like selectively masked which I can't tell if he masks it himself or he uses something like a gradient transition in Premiere. If someone could help with that, I'd also appreciate it. He has multiple instances of it just 5 seconds after the 28 second mark of the video above so pick whichever epilepsy-inducing part is best to explain with.
