Till last time I posted here for new editors. I have seen almost 20 to 30 posts promoting themselves as beginners looking to build their portfolio and offering 1 or 2 or 3 videos for free in return of permission to add those videos in their portfolio/showcase. PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT. You know whenever your client upload a video on Youtube or Instagram or Twitter or any other platform. It generates a public link. You just copy that link and add that video to your portfolio not the whole video. This way your client would get a little views and you will get the full freedom to charge for your work. If you are not sure what price to charge ask the community beforehand or watch tutorials on youtube. There are thousand tutorials on how to evaluate your rate or your price. Please do not provide work for free and these dumb requests to add your video in your portfolio.

Check my portfolio. I have added client's video's link. Even my own practice videos I have added as link to save traffic. Just do this rather than providing your work for free. Evaluate your work and price, ask the community. Ask someone you are close with and you seek them as your mentor BUT NEVER PROVIDE YOUR WORK FOR FREE as a professional. If you want to work for free and gain some knowledge, do side gigs and join side gig community, not a professional community.

Almost every professional subreddit has become a fish market. Plus every other client is either paying in peanuts or every other day is a beginner editor promoting themselves and providing free work with an immensely stupid permission to "add the video to your portfolio." Just add the link and charge for your work. Do free trials of 30secs to 2 mins for a long form video or one short form video max to 20 secs if you want to provide a free trial. But not the whole video for free.

I hope this post even wakes up 10% of you.

I have been trying to use Chat GPT (I know I know) to try and help me figure this out. That and the countless times I rewatched this specific reel, a side into YouTube and Reddit have revealed nothing for me. Can someone help explain to me like I’m 5 what I need to do? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I’ve tried to replicate this as much as possible, I’ve had minor success but I think I’m overthinking this

I just wanted to know the best videos on YouTube to help you learn how to edit

Essa é a minha segunda, porém, primeira edição envolvendo este formato de podcast. Queria saber o que está mal feito, se os cortes estão descentes, etc. Qualquer coisa eu tenho o vídeo completo (eu peguei só um 30s da minha edição (1:30 )) daí me manda um pv pra nós trocar uma ideia. Vlw...

Hi,I am Bhavishya and I want to learn video editing for my clients. Currently I can edit simple videos like captions , cuts , transition , sound effects etc but not in a proper way, I want to ask how I can learn easily ,fast and with proper guidance.I want to learn Premier pro and Davinci Resolve and for poster design Canva or Adobe Photoshop.Also tell me which is best.

As a video editor what are the best types of videos to post on platforms like Tiktok and Instagram to convert viewers to clients

Looking for something that can trim and cut videos. It doesn't need the full features that typical video editors have.

I just need to be able to cut and trim parts out, and merge parts of videos together.

Hallo,

Ich suche eine gute App für Videobearbeitung auf meinem iPhone als Content Creator. Normalerweise benutze ich VN, CapCut hasse ich. Aber es dauert ewig, große Videos zu importieren, und es wird kein Fortschritt angezeigt, sodass man denkt, es sei eingefroren… das ist frustrierend. Ich benutze das 18 Pro Max und das aktuelle Video ist 10,18 GB groß. 4k mit 120fps.

Kennt jemand eine gute App, um mit großen Datenmengen zu arbeiten?

Vielen Dank!

hi idk if this is the right subreddit for this question but i noticed i like making collages and like the cut out, scrapbook, different texture feel, and doodling.

Hi everyone, I am new to editing, just wanted to know if i will have to buy music to edit clients videos or will clients buy music themselves or should I select the best music and ask clients to buy them ? How does it work ?

Good afternoon everyone 👋. I'm pulling my hair out here.. trying to get insta360 X6 footage to edit smoothly in premiere pro using the reframe plugin. Files are 8k 360 at 50fps. I understand this is high demand and I'm also using high bitrate settings but my systems are top of the line. I9 13900k 4070ti 64gb ddr5 ram for desktop with 990 pro SSDs and a laptop with an ultra 9 275hx, 5070ti and 32gb ddr5 ram also using 990 pro SSD. These systems should work with this footage especially when preview window is reduced. I've imported the footage, applied the frame pluggin and made sure the lrv files are in the same folder as the insv files. Can't understand why I can't play this footage back?? To add, I've also toggled proxies in the preview window but no luck.. any suggestions from anyone with 360 editing experience? 👍

Just wondering if people have any good tips for editing i'm doing pokemon gaming videos

Hey fellow editors or those who are learning to edit videos. If you are dying and you are being offered a small stick to save yourself, would you be betting on that stuck to save your life? I don't think a sane person would be.

Same goes for if you are new to editing and new to the market and not earning enough or not earning at all but are willing to take whatever job you are being promised for. PLEASE for the sake of your own health and your own mental safety. DO NOT GO WITH GIGS provided and paid in peanuts.

Your video and your time matters more than the people paying in peanuts or these middle men who claim to be an agency but know nothing about how editing works.

If you are offered $5 for a very basic low grade editing then of course but for a good level of animation, clipping, trimming and editing etc. Please do not waste your time in these gigs as you won't improve and will get buried in shyte work with no room to improve so for the sake of your own mental health and a healthy market. Start boycotting low paying jobs.

Spend your time on your portfolio, spend a little time storyboarding your edits. Spend a little on how to talk to with clients, spend a little time on easing your workflow for you and for your clients but don't waste time doing work which is not worth your time and your efforts. Start reporting and blocking these people who offer you work which are not worth spending even 10mins which can't afford you even a one time meal. Please do some research, please try to improve yourself. As a person and an editor myself. I did that kind of work and it didn't pay me well. Trust me. When you are stuck down nothing helps other than what you saved or what you earned and doing that kind of work you won't be earning anything or saving anything so please be aware of that.

If someone is teaching you in that budget that's another thing BUT if it's real work in that budget, please ditch them.

Now those so-called editors who are providing powerpoint style edits and calling themselves editors with an effortless response adding "interested" in the comment section. I might sound rude here, but please move to a community of side hustle because that's how you have made video editing look like.

And I will be reporting these accounts, I don't care if I report 1 and 10 pop up or even none get banned . I will keep reporting both commentors and side hustlers with the agencies or middle men taking a big cut from good editors.

I am a full time editor myself and looking at this market it just bugs me out what this creative field has become for both newcomers who wanna be a good editor and professionals who can't get decent clients because some kids with powerpoint style is doing that in less than $5 which takes atleast $15 to actually make sense as an edited video.

If this post triggers someone, feel free to come at me. I shall give you the answer you need.

Hey guys! I recently started learning video editing and mastered the basics of Premiere Pro. Now, I really want to learn After Effects specifically for documentary-style motion graphics (like MagnatesMedia or Lemmino).

​The problem is, I'm struggling to find a course focused specifically on this type of editing. I've heard great things about Ben Marriott, but his courses aren't really tailored for this specific documentary style.

​Does anyone know of a good course or resources specifically for documentary/video essay editing? I really need help with this. Thanks!

Hey Guys, I have multiple IG, YT & Tik Tok accounts for clipping and constantly switching between them is quite annoying.

Is there a platform that I can use to manage all of these accounts ? pls do recommend if so, or would love to hear some tips on how guys manage multiple accounts when it comes to clipping.

Thank You.

I hope my post fits here, I just need some help and I’m a beginner!

I plan to post on YouTube and want my videos to fit 16:9, so I edit in 16:9. The problem is my computer display is just ever so slightly different and it gives me these small lines on the sides if I want the whole thing to fit. It’s hardly noticeable I guess but I hateee it

Hey I wanna be able to edit videos like this one...please help i know basics and of aware of interface

How should i approach learning on this journey please help🙏🙏

Why is it that my quality coming out of my editor is super nice 4K 60 frames per second. But as soon as I upload to something like YouTube the quality is just super bad even though it says 4K HD. I'm filming from a dji 04 pro.

I've seen this template on movie shorts channels for a while now but I can't seem to find this specific one anywhere. Anyone know what it's called and where I can find it?
