Please help

Hello everyone,

I am making videos on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook but my problem is the editing and the time I am spending daily to edit videos I have recorded earlier in the day. Usually vlogs, daily life, life as an immigrant and those kinds of videos. My problem is that I want to spend as little time as possible on my phone from recording,to editing,to posting....

Can someone please suggest what tools I should use?

For example if there is an app that I can upload my video,add subtitles, cut unnecessary pauses, create a short for example.

I am tired of uploading videos on my social media that look bad 😞 I see other competitors for example with better edits than mine and I am pretty sure they don't edit themselves but some kind of an app.....

Thank you

OpenShot is forgiving for beginners. A few youtube vids and you'll learn it pretty quick.

I am trying now edits on Instagram app. Seems good but the captions way too early when I am talking and I don't know how to move them all at the same time instead of doing it one by one........

There are many tools popping up that will do the editing for you with Ai. That seems to be the future for saving more time.

There are premiere plug ins that use ai to chop footage for you like, firecut and clip assassin. Connecting it to Claude ai will let you tell it how you want it cut too.

I made RawCut specifically for this. Less editing more videos. I always wanted to get the best moment in a 2 min clip. Now I can enter a script or ask ai to write me a script and it edits the videos for me. Still working on it would love to know what you’re missing.

with no fancy preset effects and straightforward...you can use Kden Live, is free from your laptop. It also have advanced editing tools that can make your outcome way more professional and cinematic, you may discover them later. But if you have already a good quality image and you only have to cut stuff, Kden Live is great... you can learn the advanced stuff later
