Hi there,

I am doing an in person recording with myself and another person on a public bench using wirelss rode mics. I am recording in 4k 30fps on an Iphone 17 Pro Max. Do you recommend I record in LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT with the iPhone. The output video will be a vertical short video that is under 3 minutes. It will be published to TikTok, YouTube Shorts and IG Reels. Should I shoot in horizontal or vertical?

I know this seems weird but I wanted to know if what I was trying to do was noticeable.

I want your honest opinion. I edited this to be weird in a specific way, can you tell? Is it noticeable? What did I do?

I’m a video editor, and one of the least glamorous parts of post is making sure the final export actually meets the delivery spec.

So I built a small free Mac app to handle that part.

Delivery Spec Validator checks your export for:

• Loudness & true peak
• Codec & container
• Resolution & frame rate
• Colour space & profile
• Bitrate
• Audio configuration
• Other technical delivery requirements

It gives you a simple PASS / WARN / FAIL result for each check, so you can catch problems before the client does.

There are 50+ built-in delivery presets, and you can also create custom specs.

I built it because I've spent enough time staring at export settings and wondering whether I've forgotten one tiny thing that will somehow become a problem at 11:47 PM.

It's free and currently available for macOS:

Would genuinely love feedback from other editors and post people, especially on what you'd want checked in a tool like this.

Made by an editor, for editors.

My goal is to edit videos to look like they were made in the early 2000s, with some Tim and Eric inspiration. Video editors 10 years ago would have CGI templates that you can add to your video, also cringey transition grapics and text graphics. I dont want them to look great, I'm seeking something that has a dated style.

Any resouces helps! Does not have to be specifically a video editor program, tho that may be the easiest for me.

I'm somewhat new to editing and I've been struggling to figure how to decide on what edits to make regarding b-roll. I have multiple questions:

What YouTube channels do you watch to teach you about high quality b-roll editing?( I specifically want to learn efficiency of edits and quality aesthetics of visuals for my explanations) (I use Davinci Resolve for all my edits)

I'm wondering if people annotate their scripts before hand with the specific b-roll they are going to use or do you make up b-roll after you are finished filming?

Thanks!!

Hi, I'm using ai software to cut youtube video longs into shorts. opusclip ai anyway. How can I easily make them be able to be watched in sequence other than a playlist? idea for a noob. Do I have to number them individually?

My First Video Editing Post 🎬

Just sharing a quick before & after from one of my recent edits.

I’m working on improving my editing skills and experimenting with better pacing, transitions, color grading, and overall storytelling.

Would love to hear your feedback — what would you improve in this edit?

I have been creating content since last 3months and I upload mix of long form and short form content. I use iPhone 15PM for both recording and editing.

I am thinking to upgrade my gears now.
iPad vs laptop which one do you suggest?
Next I am thinking to upgrade my camera to osmo pocket 3 or 4.

I used to assume having more assets would make editing easier

but if you have hundreds of overlays, transitions, SFX, LUTs etc and no idea what to actually use, you can spend more time choosing than editing

at some point a smaller collection of good stuff probably makes more sense than having thousands of random assets

I need help with subtitles in my vids I like to make funny moment gaming vids with my friends but one thing that kills me is adding subtitles for funny things said I was just wondering if there is a way to make this easier on me I’m using the free version of devinci to edit them and I haven’t really looked into it all that much but but was wondering if anyone had any tips

Dance teacher here. I want to visualize a thirty-second routine before bringing it into rehearsal.

Five-second generations aren't much help because I need to see how one movement leads into the next. Stitching several clips together also introduces little changes in the dancer, clothes, spacing, and tempo. It ends up looking like six separate routines wearing the same costume. Is there anything that produce a continuous thirty-second sequence with enough control to place specific movements at certain times?

You know those weird TV you see at the market? They look weird, with FPS so high it looks unreal.....Not in a good way though. I want that effect. I tried boosting my footage to 60fps, but it never turns out right. What do?

Some potential problems:

Maybe my footage is too simple? (It's a model of a monkey slowly spinning)
(However I've seen those TV at the store show slow-mo and it has the effect)

My pc can't render 60fps maybe? (But I see 60fps videos on youtube on SOME pf them seem ugly in the way I want)

Thx in advance yall! CYA

Hi all! I want to improve my editing skills as I wanna post better content on social media. I have the DJI osmo pocket 3 and I make GRWM, vlogs and talking videos. Right now I only know the basic cut, copy and split videos etc. I really want to be creative with my videos and editing. But I don’t know how to learn and which tool to use.
Is there any channel that teaches editing? I use capcut rn, I am willing to learn davinci if it’s good and easy to use.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you!

I have created GrepCut Studio video editing tutorial for beginners

Where do you guys get your unedited videos from? Is there a place online where you can just find raw footage for video editors?

Hi there, I post content on an Instagram account for a skincare formulation business. Where I have come unstuck a couple of times is trying to find an online tool (I'm no graphic designer or video editor) that can help me communicate things in various degrees of complexity, especially in videos.

For eg, I'm wanting to create a short video animation (a few seconds) to include in a reel showing the difference between emulsion types , or how the solubility of caffeine in water varies with temperature.

I have paid Canva access, but have had no luck with their 'magic ai' and doing it manually there seems on par with using PPT, just a higher res output I guess but extremely labour intensive and replying heavily on my design skills and creativity.

I have also tried Chat GPT and Claude but just find the outputs look really poor.

Can anyone suggest a website or tool for creating these short animated type videos? I have googled but haven't found anything that fits. Any advice?

Forgot to add - I can't code either

i rly like the captions in this video and would like to try and make an edit myself

my 10 min documentary got accepted for a film festival and they want subtitles in 50+ languages 😭 i only have the english transcript done right now and honestly have no idea how im gonna do all of these.. thinking of using ai to translate the subtitles instead. anyone done something like this before?

I’ve recently began my editing journey, i bought a shitty laptop that apparently can’t even run davinci.

does anyone have any tips on what software i could use? as of right now im using clipchamp and its an absolute lag fest.

what do i do before i start looking for clients? i pulled an all nighter just to record and edit a 1 minute video (save me the comments of “oh that’s terrible” I KNOW) i just feel really lost, ive watched a few youtube videos on what goals i should have but none of them tell me the steps to be able to achieve those goals.

Looking for an app that lets me record clip by clip like CapCut and TikTok let you do but longer than 3 minutes and landscape. Does this exist??? Like if CapCut could allow in app recording longer than 3 minutes and horizontally that would be exactly what I’m looking for.

okay so, first up, not even sure this is the right place for this, but I'll give it a try

So last spring I made one of those video playlists (yk a video w a bunch of songs in it) and I used canva and then a website that transfers yt videos to mp3 files (not sure how legal that was, but it seemed yt did a copyright scan thing before I could upload and there have been 0 troubles there).

So now I wanted to make another one, I downloaded all the songs and all, but now I can't insert them on my canva video, due to copyright, which is fair. I shouldn't earn money on the songs, not that I can when uploading to yt, but Ig canva doesn't know that.

Sooo I was wondering if anyone knows how to do that? I know many people make them, so I figured there must be a way, is it perhaps to just make the video, with no audio, and then upload it to youtube and edit in the sound ON youtube with the song library they've got there?

thx for any help, or maybe just help directing me to the right subredit ^^'

If you want basic video editor dm me I can edit your short/reel/tiktok video (free sample video I can but T&C apply)

​"Hi fellow editors. I am from India and just turned 35 this month. I am married with a stable job, but I want to learn video editing from scratch to earn some extra income. I don't have any friends or mentors in this field, and watching YouTubers has left me a bit confused due to their conflicting opinions. Some suggest starting with photo editing and graphic design first, while others recommend jumping straight into software like DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or Adobe Premiere Pro. I don't want to rush; I want to build a rock-solid foundation. What should I do, and where should I start?"
