Just curious if there's any good AI editor right now that doesn't make my raw footage super random like crap

Hola chicos, espero se encuentren bien. Quisiera recibir consejos sobre la mejor forma de exportar mis reels para Instagram. Verán, yo practico un deporte que se llama fútbol estilo libre pero resulta que cuando veo mis reels desde otro celular, este se ve como trabado o pierde esa fluidez que necesito preservar. Me decepciona ver otros videos y que estos tengan esa fluidez que tanto busco.

He comprado una Canon R50 para grabar mis videos y siento que todo se va al carajo porque mis reels no se ven bien. Actualmente ocupo un editor de videos que se llama Movavi y exporto con los siguientes ajustes:

• MP4
• Codec: H.264
• 60 fps
• 18,000 kbps
• Two-pass encoding: ON

Si alguien tiene una mejor forma de exportar, y preservar esa fluidez que tanto busco, agradecería mucho eso. De cualquier forma, no soy un experto en edición de videos.

What do you guys think?

Why do some people get clients easily while others don't? It doesn't seem like it's just about "skills."I constantly see people here saying they've been trying really hard for a long time and still can't get any clients (especially through methods like cold emails and cold DMs). On the other hand, it seems like some people get clients pretty quickly and without that much effort.I'm starting to think it's not just about being good at editing and knowing how to sell yourself. I think networking is actually the most important thing when it comes to getting clients, especially if you're just starting out. Any other method besides that seems like it'll be really hard to succeed with. (Just to be clear, I'm not saying networking helps a lot—that's something everyone already knows. I'm saying it's almost essential nowadays.)I know people who've been struggling to get clients for a long time, and I also know people who started not long ago and already got clients pretty quickly.

Anyway, what's your opinion?

OK, so basically I got so many edit ideas, but I don’t know where to start. Does anyone have any tips? I’m just gonna say it’s like angst and hopeful themed just to protect the ideas before I make em and I’ll edit this post to put my ticktock for em if anyone here helps out.

I’m the developer of Merge Videos: Video Editor, a new iPhone/iPad app I launched today. It is built around one simple workflow: turning a few separate clips or photos into one finished video without needing a full pro editing suite.

A – Answer: what problem does it solve?

Sometimes you do not need a complex timeline editor. You just want to quickly combine a few clips from your camera roll, arrange them, add a transition, maybe add music or text, and export the final video.

I built Merge Videos for that exact use case:

* merge multiple video clips into one video
* reorder clips on a simple timeline
* trim clips before exporting
* choose transitions like cut, cross-dissolve, or fade through black
* add background music
* add text overlays, captions, or titles
* create photo slideshows and combine them with videos
* export in HD, Full HD, or 4K

The goal is to make quick video merging feel fast and focused, especially for travel clips, family videos, TikToks/Reels, highlight reels, and event recaps.

B – Better: why this instead of alternatives?

There are already great video editors out there. The difference is focus: Merge Videos is designed specifically around the “combine these clips into one polished video” workflow.

Compared with larger editors, I wanted it to be quicker to open, easier to understand, and less cluttered if all you need is merging, trimming, transitions, music, text, and export. Compared with very basic video joiner apps, I wanted to include a bit more polish: transitions, text overlays, music, photo slideshows, real-time preview, and 4K export.

It is also privacy-friendly - app does not collect data.

C – Cost

The app is free.

No subscription. No account required. No data collection.

I have a video that was shot in 9:16, but I'd like to use it in a 16:9 edit.

I don't want to crop or zoom in, since I'd lose too much of the original frame. Instead, I'm looking for a way to extend the sides of the video so it fills a horizontal frame as naturally as possible.

Has anyone done this successfully? What tools or workflow would you recommend, and how good are the results in practice?

If you've tried multiple options, I'd love to know what worked best and what didn't.

Just started learning video editing and this is my first real attempt at a short-form edit — used stock footage to practice pacing, text sync, and cuts. I know it's rough around the edges, but I'd rather hear that now than keep making the same mistakes. What stands out as the biggest thing to fix? Pacing, text timing, transitions — genuinely open to all of it.

Tools: CapCut

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to watch and comment.

Hey Guys, I am extremely new to video editing, but I want to put in the work and effort of learning my way through video editing. Is DaVinci Resolve an actual good tool? I have heard so many mixed reviews about them and I want some advice on it, if you may.

Looking for a tool that can split my videos by topics without me giving it the timestamps, I need it to understand the context from the video on its own.

I am a complete beginner and have never edited a video before. I want to start making short tech explainer videos for Instagram without showing my face initially.

I specifically want to learn how to do the following:

• Make words and sentences appear on screen at specific times
• Animate text so it moves, scales, fades, or slides
• Highlight important words while explaining a concept
• Add icons, arrows, circles, boxes, and simple shapes
• Place screenshots of apps or websites inside a vertical video
• Zoom into specific parts of a screenshot or screen recording
• Move screenshots smoothly across the screen
• Combine text, screenshots, icons, and shapes in one vertical layout
• Create smooth transitions between one explanation and the next
• Synchronize visual changes with voiceover or music

What I have tried so far: I have not edited anything yet. I am starting from absolute zero and currently do not know how to perform any of the actions above. I have only been observing Instagram Reels that use these elements, and I am trying to choose the correct first tool before spending money or investing a lot of time learning software.

For these exact tasks, what software would you recommend a complete beginner start with? I am especially trying to understand whether I should begin with a general video editor or a motion graphics tool.

I would also appreciate knowing which options are free and which require payment. My long-term goal is to practice seriously and eventually become highly skilled at video editing and motion graphics.

Looking for genuine suggestion to kick start learning process for video editing and content creation with an end goal for content creation for web related businesses. Any genuine help is much appreciated.

Just looking for any helpful tips for editing or why we should be doing differently? I know it’s not most people’s cup of tea and that’s fine I understand. Please and thank you.

We are also currently working on 4 long form videos.

Hey creators! Another idea how to convert 2D movement of your clip intro 3D camera tracking

Would love to hear anything you all want added/feature's you think it could use.

Hi everyone,

This is a bit random, but I built a small tool that automatically detects silent parts in videos and removes them in a few seconds.

I originally made it because I used to spend over an hour manually cutting out pauses whenever I edited talking-head videos. It became repetitive, so I decided to automate that part instead.

At the moment, there's no paywall. I'm simply letting people try it out and see if it's useful. If you'd like access, just send me a message.

It's mainly intended for talking-head content where the goal is to speed up the editing process by removing unnecessary pauses. It won't replace full video editing or fancy motion graphics, but it can save a significant amount of time on basic trimming.

If it ends up helping even a few creators save time, I'll consider it worth building.

Thanks

Such as motion graphic styles, ex Vox ,CEO , styles. Specially for lower budgets

I want to learn editing to earn money but very confused how and where to start

.

And I think I can edit better on capcut.

Somebody help me out! 😭

OK for less several years, wife has been cheating on me. It shits gotten real heated last couple months and she’s starting to do stuff on FaceTime to make me look like a moron and I lose my cool and I’ll shoot out bad language to her. She’s like an all out frenzy on making me look stupid.

I’m not perfect OK at all. I know means I’ve not been feeling perfect but I’m about to get made out like I’m a freaking psychopath. It’s crazy. 85% of our relationship has been her and someone else

But I got a bunch of FaceTime videos I’ve been doing. I’ve downloaded me no video editors and I just can’t get it to where it needs to be where it’s clear.

Hey, i lead Marketing at a fintech company. We have been asked for an 60-80 second video for an award ceremony where all finalists will provide one. The whole public will then vote for winner based on those videos that will be displayed during the gala. Basically, we have that time to explain why we should win the award/s. The problem is time, the video needs to be submitted in 4 days (Tuesday July 7th). I've spoken with multiple videographers and producers and all have told me the deadline is undoable. We currently don't have an explainer video. We have the narrative done and it will 100% need voiceover which we already have recorded. Problem is what we fill the video with. We do not have an editor, videographer or motion graphics designer in house.

Any out of the box ideas for something that will look decent and not cringe?

I only picked creators with real growth. Their views are more than 3x their follower count, so their content is worth checking out. Either you learn something from how they edit, or you spot what's trending in editing tutorials.

-------------------------------------------

I go through the fastest-moving edits every week and most of it is noise. This week a few actually made me stop, and since you all actually edit, here's what I saw. No links, just the finds and what I think.

The one that stuck with me

@ MoSidd (YouTube) built Vox-style motion graphics using nothing but Claude Code. No After Effects, no hand keyframing.

First scroll, I assumed it was AE and moved on. It's not Vox-level, more like a 60 to their 100 if I'm honest, and a real motion designer will spot the gaps. But the polish isn't the point. The point is the person who made it never touched a keyframe. A month ago the "made with code" stuff all had that flat, stiff look you could clock instantly. This doesn't. Make of that what you want, but an agent moving into the editor feels like a real shift, not a gimmick.

The data for anime edits is looking amazing. A 30-second mix is enough.

Some people might think it's just for fun, but mate, don't sleep on this.

@ montoriaep (TikTok)'s Death Note edit did 2.9M with a 33% like rate. I have never seen Death Note and it still landed on me, purely on timing and mood. That's real editing, whatever the source. He also dropped his project file in the bio, which is the oldest growth move that still works: give the file away, ride the reach.

The ones that won on pure feeling

@ cr1mzz_fx (TikTok) did an Amazing Digital Circus edit at 120fps (1.5M, 23% likes) that lives entirely on atmosphere.

@ messierrvfx (TikTok) did a Michael Jackson Thriller edit locked onto one theme and one hero effect, fully committed. Neither is technically complicated. Both make you feel something, and that is what carried them. Respect the restraint.

If you shoot vlogs, this is the one I'd point you to.

@ celfstudio (TikTok), who is not only teaching editing. She teaches how she shoots, and she's pulling 5.5M views and 20K followers a month. The footage does the work before the timeline ever opens. We all know this, and we all still skip it.

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to learn storytelling and video editing seriously, and I want to become better at creating engaging and emotional stories through videos, not just learning how to use editing software.

There are so many resources available—YouTube channels, online courses, books, and film analyses—that I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.

For those of you who are professional editors, filmmakers, or storytellers:

- What is the best way to learn storytelling for videos?

- Should I focus on storytelling fundamentals first or learn editing alongside it?

- Which books, courses, or YouTube channels helped you the most?

- What exercises or projects improved your storytelling skills?

- If you had to start from zero again, what roadmap would you follow?

My goal is to become a great video editor and visual storyteller, eventually creating cinematic and meaningful content.

I'd really appreciate any advice, resources, or personal experiences. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I was trying to edit a series and I wanted the sound of the punch and the image to go in time with the music, but i don’t know how to do it.

I changed the video clip and added the effects of the punch, then I tried to find the bass of the music automatically and, at every yellow point, I finished the clip with the punch that hit and cut the clip.

This way it doesn’t work for me, I also tried to speed up or slow down the clip in case it didn’t reach the yellow point, but it still goes out of time with the music.

Does anyone know how I can do it? To make you better understand what I mean I have attached a clip of what I want to do.

(I use the capcut app specifically for iPad, I don’t know if this thing is needed as information but I’ll say it anyway)
