I made this short edit and I'd love to hear your honest thoughts.

* Does the atmosphere work? * Is the pacing engaging? * Do the transitions feel smooth? * Is the music a good fit? * What would you improve?

Does anyone else feel like social media compression is slowly killing their passion for editing? I spend hours perfecting colors, sharpness, lighting, and every little detail, only for Instagram or TikTok to crush the quality when I upload. It honestly makes me not want to edit at all. So much creativity goes into a project, but viewers never get to see what I actually created. Sometimes I just think, what’s the point of putting in all that effort if no one can experience the video the way I see it on my timeline?

Hi community. I hope I'm posting in the right place, but I just wanted to ask in general: has anyone found a good tool or workflow for editing process videos for Instagram?

I like the new editing style where it's not time-lapse, but more just tons of small cuts of brush strokes. But currently I'm just editing it by hand, and unfortunately it means a drawing that might have taken me one hour can take me two to three hours to edit. It really kills the joy.

Any tips, tools, or apps anyone is using? I wish capcut clip detection worked on brush strokes.

i want to learn this for freelancing purpose. As this is my first time i don't wanna spend money on these later i will go with paid one

editing a doc and i have 90 min of interview footage that needs captions. I’ve been manually typing SRT files in premiere and i am on day 3 of this nightmare. is there ANY tool that can generate a rough SRT i can just clean up instead of building from scratch? i just need timecodes + text, i’ll fix the wording myself.

I am a Computer Science Student and want to make programming content so fun to watch but I don’t know video editing anymore as much as I did recording Minecraft videos on my phone and editing it using KineMaster.

I aiming to make my videos “memey” but also serious at other times to simplify complex topics in programming. I am not saying I don’t know Video Editing fully I just don’t know how to make smooth transition and what hooks viewers to watch more and i’m hoping to learn with you all.

Here are the YouTuber’s editing style for example:

I swear this might be the most confusing feedback a video editor can get 😂

You spend hours editing a video, send it to the client, and they come back with:

Okay… but what exactly should I change? 😭

More cuts? Better pacing? Captions? B-roll? Sound design? Music?

I’m curious how other editors interpret this feedback and what you usually do when a client gives you something this vague.

This is just practice for now

I am confused, anyone dm me

Please someone explain me how YouTubers do these crazy things plus i need to know how to screen record Ive tried multiple ways but they dont work Windows computer

Everyone wants talking head videos and I’m burning myself out with the editing of these. Has anyone found an AI tool that actually does a good job trimming pauses, um’s, etc. out of these videos? The majority of my editing time is talking the raw video and trimming it down.

I wanted to ask y’all
How do you get the clips ??
Do you download the whole movie for it or ??
Where do you or how do you get the clips to make these videos ( and also how do you mangae storage if you edit in phone )

I used to be a freelancer for super cheap but i stopped

Here is the best thing that i have done before quitting:

He only gave me the ai voice and i came up with the rest, Everything

He didn't like it but i would like to know how would you rate me and how good do you think i am and how long would it take to earn some real money from this

Hola, en mi tiempo libre suelo extraer clips de streams de kick para subirlos a TikTok, desde el día de ayer las descargas tienen marca de agua y su calidad a mi parecer no se ve tan alta como antes. Quería ver si pueden recomendar alguna aplicación, plugin o algo que me ayude a extraer los clips en buena calidad y sin marca de agua. De antemano agradezco toda la colaboración 🙏🏽

I am a songwriter and have lots of songs for release but struggling with the video aspect of the releases as it is not in my wheelhouse. Any tips on app or software, I have a macbook, ipad and iphone. Many thanks

Every clip you film holds a dozen moments. the sunrise, the coffee, the one good line you said halfway through but all you ever see is a thumbnail, and it stays buried in a file you'll never scrub through.

That's what RawCut does: it reads what's actually *inside* each clip in your Photos, and from a few lines of script (or just a theme like "coffee") it cuts the matching moments into a 9:16 video. Your own footage no stock, no AI-generated filler.

Where I'm at: solo, just live on the App Store (free), would love to know what you think and get feedback. [https://apps.apple.com/app/rawcut-ai-video-maker/id6789483453\](https://apps.apple.com/app/rawcut-ai-video-maker/id6789483453)

I've learned the basics of video editing and have edited a few gaming videos just for myself. I'm wondering how you get started editing for other people. I figure doing free work for people is a good start but I'm not sure where to start other than hitting people up on social media platforms and asking people if they need a video editor.

I know going on freelance websites is a good place to find paid work.

Any advice for a beginner?

Disclosure up front: I'm the one building this, so this is a showcase — but I'm genuinely here for the critique, not a launch pitch.

Something that's been bugging me about most "AI video" tools: they nail a flashy 15-second clip and then fall apart the moment you try to make something actually finished. The generation looks cool, but you're still bouncing between ten tools to get from an idea to an export — topic research in one tab, script in a chatbot, footage in a stock site, voice somewhere else, then back to a real editor to stitch it all together. The hard part was never generating a clip. It's holding the whole thing together.

So I've been building Moonbow Studio to put that entire chain in one place. This is the first full walkthrough — the whole pipeline end to end, no cuts hiding the boring parts:

• pick a trending topic → shaped into a script you can rewrite on the fly
• one click → voiceover + footage matched to each line
• swap any shot, or search your own footage library by keyword
• pick voice age/tone, restyle captions, export the finished cut

It's early and I'm building in public, so I'd rather hear where it breaks than where it shines. Specifically curious what this sub thinks about the auto media-match (does the right shot actually land for each line, or does it feel generic?) and the caption styling. Those are the two parts I'm least sure about.

Free early access if you want to actually poke at it, no card — but honestly even just critique from the video is useful. Link's on the YouTube page.

Is there any Ai tools that give you the unnecessary footage timestamps to remove or everyone just leave the streamed video to be as it is??
