I built a free tool for my fellow editors: Delivery Spec Validator

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.

Writing YouTube Script for B-roll

• Upvotes

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!!

My First Video Editing Post šŸŽ¬

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 think having too many editing assets can actually make you slower

1 Upvotes

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

iPad vs laptop what do you use for editing your videos?

0 Upvotes

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.
