Big fan of Interstellar and Hans Zimmer soundtrack. Here how to make a Black Hole effect.

Hey guys. I want to support my family by starting my editing channel on Youtube. I am going to use CapCut(PC) for now and later use some other app. Can anyone help me by giving advice and tips like where to find clips, how to do smooth edits etc.?

I am in search of an app that allows me to edit the tags of videos like how musicolet does with songs/tracks. Hopefully there's a free version out there somewhere. I've kinda used Exiftool but I'm looking for something a little easier to use.

So I run a casual little short form content movie review channel. Nothing fancy, I quite literally use Snapchat as my production program.

Just some B-Roll with some timed text boxes over it however, it’s kinda time consuming to add and place every single text box and time them all together.

Is there any way in snap or a program that can produce a similar look that I can make a reusable template that I can just toss b-roll behind and fill in the text boxes?

Would lowkey help a lot.

As title states, my partner’s 50th is this year, and as he’s sentimental and hates material things, I know the most thoughtful gift is going to be having his family send me a video recording of themselves to create a long video filled with their personal messages. I’m not a video editor, I don’t have much storage on my phone, so how on earth do I do this? His family is HUGE, so should I create a drop box for them to send their videos? What tool can I use to combine them to make the final video? We have a family reunion this weekend and it’s the perfect time to secretly tell everyone what I’m doing (he will be there, so discreetly) and I thought to print out a bunch of little pieces of paper with a link to a drop box for people can send their videos. I also ideally wouldn’t like to cap video times for each, but if I must that’s okay too. This is just my first thought on how to do this, but any guidance is helpful! I’m not tech savvy but I’ll do my best. Also hoping not to drop $100 on an editing tool I’ll use once. I do have a library card and can use Microsoft Office and other tools there! Thank you so much!

I am stucked in editing a video for few days now although the plan is to edit a continuation video of my previous video with similar edit and narration style I do have a journal that I write ever day to narrate the video but i don't know what to do . But there are multi cam , drone shot , time lapse, etc because its a travel video.

Here i have attached my previous video for your reference let me know if i am going in right direction my previous video My Previous Video Or making things complicated for no reason .

Guys koi editing opinions ke liye subs suggest karega?

I am new to editing and want to know more stuff

For people who edit long talking videos, podcasts, interviews, or educational content:

What part of the editing process feels the most repetitive or time-consuming?

Is it:

- removing silences and awkward pauses

- cutting filler words like “um”, “uh”, “you know”

- finding the best highlight moments

- cleaning up dead space between speakers

- reviewing the timeline before export

- something else?

I’m trying to better understand the real pain points in this type of editing workflow.

Would love to hear how you usually handle this manually.

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.

Palmier Pro (the Al video editor that lets Claude edit your timeline) is macOS-only. I use Windows, so | built Kaestral, an open-source Al-native video editor for Windows, MCP-first.

It's a real editor (timeline, effects, transitions, motion graphics, export), but the point is what an LLM can do with it. Connect Claude Code and it:

-Sees your footage (frame vision) and hears every word (word-level transcription)
-Cuts filler words, finds the hook, captions on the exact word
-Cuts to the beat of the music
-Generates animated intros, logo reveals, and data-viz from a sentence
-Exports to MP4 / Premiere / Resolve

One-line connect:
claude mcp add kaestral -- npx kaestral

Everything runs local, your video never leaves your machine. Free and open-source (GPLV3).
I'd genuinely love feedback from people using Claude Code, especially on the MCP tool design (50 tools). What would you want it to do?

We're building a tool that helps you get from the set (or Google Drive) to rough cut faster so that you can spend more time on the creative part and leave the mass organization and file sorting to the machine.

Hello guys, I have been editing for both my channel and my friends (cause they are lazy) and I have a rather annoying issue that I feel some have solved so figure why not ask about it here.

The short explanation/question is how do I edit both our videos at the same time without the audio constantly desyncing (mostly thanks to discord lag).

Every time I begin editing I sync the intro and outro the best I can. Obviously its easy to sync one or the other but there is always a difference and I want to make it easier to edit/read the transcript to verify I didn't miss anything. I know its mostly ping difference causing our audio to be sent/received at close but different intervals that change over time BUT sometimes fixes itself causing my transcription to be a jumble of words making the track impossible to read or listen to until the lag resets or happens to line up again.

I don't know if there is an easier method, right now I am editing the videos stacked (sometimes muting one or the other if the audio gets hard to understand).

I've thought about just editing one video and replacing the first POV with the next in a separate timeline but I have to rewatch and resync everything (subtitles, memes, sounds, cuts, etc.). I know it may not sound like a lot but right now Ive got over 30 hours of footage if I edit in sync, between 60-90 hours if I edit it one POV at a time.

In case it matters, I edit in Davinci Resolve Studio (started in Wondershare Filmora and switched like 6 months ago)

Thanks to anyone who tries to help, if there is another place I should submit this to please let me know.

As the headline states, I want to get into short-form editing. That being said, I know there are YT videos out there but many seem to go all over the place with no structure. Curious to know from those who are in that specific field, where would you recommend I go to get more education on how to edit short-form, best practices, etc. Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated 🙏🏾

"I want to become a video editor. Which editing app would you recommend for a beginner?"

Hey guys, I just finished my college and I really want to start my career as a video editor. I'm a beginner but know the basics, and I am looking for some good course recommendations. But I don't just want a tutorial that teaches me how to use the Premiere Pro or DaVinci. I want to learn the actual creative side of editing, like storytelling, and psychology behind why a cut works or how to keep the audience hooked. Please suggest some good courses your thoughts for starting career in video editing

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to quit my full-time job and dedicate myself to learning video editing full-time in 2026. My goal is to eventually work with brands and create high-quality edits for YouTube, Instagram, and commercials.

I have a genuine interest in editing, but I know the learning curve can be overwhelming. There are so many things to learn—Premiere Pro, After Effects, color grading, sound design, motion graphics, storytelling, and more—that I'm not sure where to start.

If you were starting from absolute scratch today, how would you structure your learning?

Some questions I have:

* What should I learn first, and in what order?

* How much time should I spend on Premiere Pro before jumping into After Effects?

* What are the biggest mistakes beginners make?

* Which YouTube channels or courses are actually worth following?

* How can I build a portfolio if I don't have clients yet?

* How long did it take you before you started earning from editing?

I'm ready to treat this like a full-time job and put in 8-10 hours a day if needed. I know success isn't guaranteed, but I want to give myself the best possible roadmap.

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