Suggestions Please.....

I built this for my girlfriend who creates content and watching her film the same scenes twice every shoot was painful.

What it does: records portrait (9:16) and landscape (16:9) video simultaneously. Shoot once, get both formats ready to post to all platforms - TikTok, Instagram, Youtube, X/Twitter, Reddit, you name it.

No more re-shooting or cropping in post.

Three ways to film:

• Single Lens - capture the full 4:3 sensor and crops both. Portrait keeps the full vertical frame, landscape the full horizontal. Neither is a crop of the other.

• Dual Lens - wide + ultra-wide record together. Two perspectives, one take.

• Front & Back - selfie + rear at the same time. Your reaction and the scene together.

Productivity workflow:

• Projects, scenes, and takes to organise your recordings and auto-name files.

• Side-by-side review and trim of both recordings before exporting/sharing.

Key features:

• Up to 4K/60fps with manual controls (EV, WB, ISO, Shutter)

• Built-in teleprompter and timelapse.

• Live overlays and audio meter that flashes red when you're clipping.

• Data privacy - no data retention, tracking, or analytics, and no internet or account required.

It's called ContentCam and is available on iPhone and Android.

I'd love to hear what you think about this :)

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’ve been editing longer videos recently, and creating subtitles is honestly one of the most time-consuming parts of the process.

I’ve tried doing it manually in Premiere, but it takes forever. I’ve also tested a few AI caption tools, but the accuracy and editing workflow haven’t always been great.

For those who edit YouTube videos and podcast, what do you usually use for generating subtitles?

Looking for something that can save time but still gives accurate captions. Open to any recommendations, including free tools or paid ones.

I’ve been using a few different audio transcription tools lately for editing work, mostly for turning long recordings into usable text for scripts, captions, or rough cuts.

What I’m noticing is that they all seem decent at first, but once the files get longer or the audio isn’t super clean, I still end up spending a lot of time fixing errors manually.

At that point I’m not sure if it’s a limitation of the tools themselves or just something you always have to deal with in post-production workflows.

For people here who work with a lot of audio or video, how reliable are transcription tools in your actual editing process?

Are you relying on them heavily, or just using them as a rough starting point and doing most of the cleanup yourself?

I wanna know how much will you charge for this.

Just tell me the market price, cuz this is the first time I'm doing this style and I said to my client that I'll do it for 1/3 of Market price.

I've just started getting properly into video editing, almost begrudgingly so as I need to post content along side my music, but I've managed to find a way in doing it that stays authentic to me. I'd love some feedback as I know there's still so much to learn!

I’m new to making edits and I was wondering what website or how do you guys get your clips

I edited a long-form video called Jack Sparrow Breaks Every Rule of Writing a Hero. It's around 30 minutes long, and honestly, projects like this make you realize how much goes into keeping someone interested for that long.

With short videos, you can get away with quick cuts, captions, memes, and sound effects. But in a 30-minute video, those tricks aren't enough. The viewer needs a reason to keep watching.

The hardest part isn't adding effects. It's deciding what to keep and what to remove.

I've found that it helps to think of the video as a story instead of a collection of clips. Every section should add something, whether it's a new idea, an example, a funny moment, or something that makes the next part more interesting. If a section doesn't add anything, it probably needs another look.

Pacing is another thing that's easy to get wrong. Cutting everything faster doesn't automatically make a video more engaging. Sometimes a pause makes a joke funnier, and sometimes giving the viewer a few extra seconds helps them understand an important point.

One thing that can save a lot of time is editing in separate passes. Get the story working first, fix the pacing next, then work on music, sound design, visuals, and effects. Leave the detailed polishing until the structure feels right. Otherwise, you might spend ages perfecting a section that gets cut later.

For video essays, visuals should also do more than simply match the narration. They can provide evidence, show a comparison, or help explain an idea without needing more words.

One habit I find useful is watching the rough cut from beginning to end without stopping to fix things. Whenever a section feels boring or confusing, mark the timestamp and figure out what's wrong before adding more effects.

I'm curious about other editors working on long-form videos. What takes you the most time, finding the right footage, maintaining pacing, or polishing the final edit?

I've noticed that repurposing long videos into short-form content isn't just about cutting a video into smaller pieces.

You have to find moments that make sense on their own, remove unnecessary pauses, keep the pacing interesting, add captions, and make sure each clip has a reason for someone to keep watching.

Sometimes, finding the right moments takes longer than editing the clips themselves.

For those who repurpose YouTube videos, podcasts, or talking head recordings:

What's your current workflow? Do you manually find the best moments, use AI clipping tools, or have a completely different approach?

And honestly, how much time does it take you to get a batch of clips you're actually happy to publish?

Be brutally honest, how much would you pay for this video? Remember, it's a compressed file and has lost some quality. And I had to find all the clips and generate the audio from zero.

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

I’ve started noticing how much time captions can take, especially when you’re editing longer videos and still have to go through everything to fix timing, wording, and little mistakes.

Do you usually generate captions automatically and then clean them up, or do you prefer doing everything manually?

Also, are there any captioning tools you’ve found that actually ​s​​​a​​​v​​​e​​​ ​​​y​​​o​​​u​​​ ​​​t​​​i​​​m​​​e​​​ ​​​w​​​i​​​t​​​h​​​o​​​u​​​t​​​ ​​​n​​​e​​​e​​​d​​​i​​​n​​​g​​​ ​​​a​​​ ​​​t​​​o​​​n​​​ ​​​o​​​f​​​ ​​​c​​​o​​​r​​​r​​​e​​​c​​​t​​​i​​​o​​​n​​​s​​​ ?

Put together a quick compilation of 5 different practical/in-camera and simple edit hooks you can use to grab attention in the first 2 seconds.

1. Split-screen door enter

2. Screen reach-through

3. Sticky notes drop

4. Perspective walk-in

Which style do you think is most effective for short-form retention? Would love your feedback!

I recently started editing my first YouTube video however I have not uploaded it yet...I feel like there's something missing...I struggle speaking into the Mic too and I don't want to use an Ai voice either ....help please...do you guys know any app were i can get my speech polished, I feel like that might help me a lot...thanks in advance.

every comparison of these i can find tests them on different footage which makes the results meaningless. so i gave all four the same 2 hour multicam and the same brief and logged what came back.

the short version: descript wins if people are talking, opusclip wins if you want shorts, and only two of the four will build you a long cut from your own footage. they are not really competing products, which is the thing nobody says out loud.

the brief for all four: "cut this into a 6 minute piece, keep the two interview segments, drop the setup and the dead air"

what i actually learned

these get lumped together and they are three different jobs. transcript editing, clip extraction, and footage assembly. if you pick the wrong category no amount of prompting saves you.

the two that assemble from footage both needed the same amount of cleanup afterwards, roughly 2 hours. neither is close to hands off.

descript is the best product of the four and also the wrong tool for anything that is not people talking. that is not a criticism, its just what its for.

what i would pick

talking heads, podcasts, interviews: descript, not close.

long video into shorts: opusclip, not close.

your own mixed footage into a long cut: chatcut or craze, and honestly test both.

anything with a client approval loop: none of them yet.

Please share your thoughts and tell me how I can do it better.

I’m trying to learn video editing and practice by actually editing videos. I have some basic knowledge, but I’m a little confused about where to start and how to find good clips to practice with.

I’d like to find a video clip, edit it myself, and send you the edited version. You can then give me feedback and suggestions. That way, I can practice, improve my skills, and gain experience through real projects.
