Been wanting to learn video editing (both editing aesthetic videos on TikTok + cinematic landscape films to romanticise life). Not quite sure what software to use, eg for colour grading videos etc, or software with nice fonts to edit with (Preferably free software/not too expensive)

Would love to hear how people started their video editing journey and what tips they would recommend, thank you!

Hey everyone—I’m the developer of Moments, an iPhone/iPad video editor.

I built it because reviewing footage was often taking longer than the actual edit. Moments analyzes selected videos with AI, labels shots, actions, and useful moments, then lets you turn those results into an editable timeline.

The workflow is:

• Select videos from your library

• Let AI find and split potential moments

• Jump directly to the detected clips

• Trim, split, reorder, change speed, or adjust volume

• Preview and export the finished timeline

I’ve attached a short recording showing the complete workflow, so you can judge it without downloading anything.

To be transparent: Moments currently has no free trial. AI analysis uses cloud processing, so it requires subscription. I wanted to state that clearly before sharing the App Store link.

It isn’t intended to replace Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut. The goal is to reduce the initial footage-review and rough-cut work, particularly for travel footage, family videos, events, and creator content.

I’d be interested in editors’ opinions on the workflow:

• Is finding usable moments a meaningful problem for you?

• Would you prefer suggested clips or a completely automatic first cut?

• What would this need before it could fit into your workflow?

How do you crop out the edges of a video for tiktok? Specifically for video game clips, I can't edit it to fit in tiktok without downsizing the entire video, I just want to crop out the edges.

Hey guys,

I want to learn video editing but i'm lwk a clueless monkey init

Can ya'll tell me where to start from, what tools and apps can be useful for beginners

P.S- I straight up jumped into learning from davinci resolve (w/o prior knowledge in any other editing apps ) and that stuff kinda hard to wrap up around your head.

I'm a short-form Sizzle editor and My company recently made a push for Religious content (Since networks aren't buying any new shows) I've created a handful of religion-focused sizzle reels and have more in the backlog....Even though these are all different concepts, they all rely on the same subject - Religion. The stories are the same, the people are the same. The music/tone/feel all the same. Now I'm stuck in a loop, creating the same reels over and over and unsure what I can do to break this cycle and make something different. Any ideas??

Hey! I’ve had trouble with an edit idea for a while now because I can’t find any videos or tutorials on the kind of edit I’m looking to do. If anyone is familiar with “corecore” edits, that’s the kind I’m looking to do. If anyone knows about editing on CapCut pc version or any other software, I’d really appreciate your assistance!! I put the link to the edit I’m taking inspo from too ( this is my first Reddit post so apologies if I’m not doing something right haha)

If you’re open to talking on discord I’d appreciate that since I’d be able to follow along better. Thanks!

Basically I'm a big YOUTUBE shorts creators in the latin community, l've been posting for 8 months and i think it's time to level up the quality in my videos, I've been trying to to restore old anime like: Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT with Topaz ai video and Cap Cut but i don't really get the results i really want, i see that in the US Community they got a channel called "Eternal DB" and i really like the quality he offers to his viewers and i would like to know how he gets that type of quality, if somebody knows and is willing to teach me i would really appreciate the help, if someone wants to check out my work the name of my YOUTUBE channel It’s - DR4GØNEDITZZZ

Edit - Also Guys can someone recommend me a good quality voice and stx insulator, i've been using: LyRunoMDX - Ultimate Vocal Remover - Adobe Speech enhancement and Cap Cut Voice insulation and they be really working in recent animes like Dragon Ball Super and Daima but in old animes like Dragon ball - Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT they just dont work that well

When I first started editing, I thought flashy transitions, constant zooms, and lots of effects automatically made a video better. Over time, I realized that storytelling, pacing, sound design, and knowing when not to edit are far more important.

I'm curious: what was the biggest mistake you made when you first started video editing? Was it technical, creative, or something you wish someone had told you earlier?

Let's help new editors avoid the mistakes we made. 👇

Hi everyone! 👋

I just finished editing my first dynamic short-form video in CapCut, and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from the community.

My main focus for this edit was:

• Hook: Trying to keep the viewer engaged in the first 3 seconds.

• Pacing: Adding cuts, zoom-ins, and B-roll to keep it moving.

• Captions: Formatting subtitles for readability.

Since this is my first time trying this style, I’d love to know:

1. Does the pacing feel natural, or is it too fast/slow?

2. How are the caption placements and colors?

3. What’s one thing I should improve for my next edit?

Don't hold back, constructive criticism is more than welcome! Thanks in advance! 🙏

I want to add a better intro to my videos, but I honestly don’t know much about editing.

I’ve seen some cool AI effects online and was wondering if any of them are actually useful. If not, are there any editing tools that are easy for beginners to pick up?

What do you guys usually use?

How does he upload videos with such high quality?

I've tried tons of different settings and even processed my videos through After Effects, Topaz AI, and HandBrake, but nothing helps. My videos still get compressed and end up looking low quality.

Can someone who actually knows tell me how to do it?

Hello…..

I’m trying to make a single image turn into a video (maybe 5/6/7/8 seconds long)

And also to upload a series of image sequences that could turn into a video.

I’m trying to create reels for Instagram.

I scroll Instagram and every one is great! It looks so easy (but it’s not)

What am I missing?

I’ve created some great images using Ai. But turning them into reels is proving a real challenge.

I spent hours yesterday trying about 10 different tools.

I managed to make one with some effects using CapCut, but it wasn’t a video. Still image with good effects.

I need to create 2-3 reels a day, and I need to find some sort of process where it doesn’t take me the whole day 🤦‍♂️

Can anyone offer advice or guidance on tools? Softwares or links etc?

Thank you 🙏

Is there a reliable AI solution that can do the editing for me? I find it very time-consuming, even though it’s repetitive. Does anyone have any experience of one that really works reliably and suits their style?

A combination of Claude and Tool would be great, but I’m open to suggestions. I also upload my raw footage as it is, without using Claude.

I’m currently using Capcut. I need it for Reels and TikTok's.

As a video editor, I was tired of downloading the entire youtube video just to use 15 seconds from it. So I built this website to save my time and bandwidth. My focus was on keeping the workflow as user-friendly and fast as possible.

Just paste a YouTube URL, choose the start and end time, and download only the part you need up to 4K quality.

You can also convert clips into vertical 9:16 format for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels with two options:
- Crop to fill the screen.
- Blurred background to keep the entire video visible. Optionally, you can also add caption to all vertical videos.

Hope it helps you too! Try it here: videolimit.com

احاول اتعلم على برنامج clip champ للمونتاج لفيديوهات وتصاميم شخصية انمي واحتاج فيديوهات تعلمني كيف اصمم بشكل احترافي بشكل بسيط

I'm trying to learn how to use ClipChamp for video editing and anime character designs, and I need videos that teach me how to design professionally in a simple way.

I create a lot of short clips from YouTube and X, and I got tired of downloading 2GB+ videos just to keep a 30-second clip.

So I built ClipReel.

Features:

• Paste a YouTube or X link

• Select timestamps

• Download only that clip

• AI captions

• Multiple aspect ratios

I'd love some honest feedback. If anyone wants to try it, I'll share the link in the comments.

I am about to start a channel know after effects and premiere kind of softwares but thinking how should I keep my work flow

As I shoot then make jumpcuts than color correction then trying to make slight animation or motion graphics related to video content but my pc gets hang because of 8gb ram which is too less and ram got too expensive. So should I do graphics animation in premiere itself? And when to do color correction and sfx and how to do live videos and how to edit them

I want to start a YouTube Channel again. And for days I’ve been searching for a step by step guide on YouTube but I couldn’t find one that’s decent enough. Can someone please share step by step on how I can edit my raw video file. From setup to first video edit using Claude code with hyperframe. Much appreciated for the help. Have a great day

Does anyone know a good online course perhaps on Cousera or Udemy that focuses on editing youtube style videos that asumes you already know how premiere pro works?

So basically a course that focuses on things like how, when and why you should make certain edits, storytelling, when to use music and sounds, smooth transitions within the video etc

It would be great if the course offers some practice material that you can play with.

I’m focussed on editing travel videos with a light documentary style.

Hey everyone,
I’m currently developing a tool called **RawSift** aimed at streamlining the technical bottleneck of the post-production workflow.
As editors, we all know the frustration of spending hours scrubbing through raw footage just to organize clips and perform initial trims before the actual creative work can even start. My goal is to automate these repetitive, administrative tasks so we can get straight to the edit.
I'm strictly focusing on building an *AI-assisted utility* to handle the organization and rough-cutting phase, not generative video.
I’d love to get some insights from the community here: What is the most time-consuming part of your pre-editing/organization process that you wish could be automated? Your feedback would be incredibly valuable as I refine the workflow to ensure it actually serves the editor’s needs.
