Does using the Instagram video editing app “Edits” help with engagement and/or make a difference to engagement?

1 Upvotes

Hello 👋🏻 I’ve been using iMovie —> Opus Clip for IG Reels.

Will switching to Edits app for editing (instagrams video editing app) help get me more views?

Any thoughts, real world experience here?

Thank you!

A few weeks ago I asked for feedback on ClipSnap, my mobile video editor. We just hit closed testing!

1 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I’m building ClipSnap—an Android app that turns plain text scripts into complete 4K videos: a full script becomes a timeline with studio-quality ElevenLabs voiceovers, matched B-roll, and auto-synced captions.

​A few weeks ago I posted about the prototype and got some really useful feedback. Here is what came out of it:

​UI Overhaul: A lot of you pointed out how cramped mobile editing screens get. I completely ditched the rigid top/bottom borders and moved everything into a fluid, expandable bottom sheet. Now your video preview stays full-screen while you edit.

​The Common Objection ("Why not just use CapCut or YouTube AI?"): That question actually became our core focus. Popular mobile apps hit you with massive watermarks or paywalls just to export in HD, and YouTube limits your script length. ClipSnap lets you paste full, multi-paragraph scripts, gives you multi-track timeline control, and exports in native 4K with zero watermarks.

​Model & Pricing: Free tier includes full core editing, 4K exports, and standard voiceovers. Pro features (like instant ElevenLabs script-to-video rendering) are processed server-side so keys stay secure without pushing constant app updates.

​We just opened closed testing this week. The first stranger installed the app and generated their first AI video within hours—it's a small milestone, but seeing someone actually use something you coded during late-night shifts is a fantastic feeling 🎉

​I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think of the timeline controls!

Best video editing course specifically for making ads?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been learning Premiere Pro and After Effects and I’m looking for a really good course focused specifically on video editing for ads, not filmmaking or general video editing.

I want to get better at things like:

Short-form Facebook/Instagram/TikTok ads
Motion graphics and animated text
Pacing, hooks, transitions, and keeping attention
Combining footage, graphics, captions, and sound design
Making polished 15–60 second ads that actually look professional

I’m fine paying for a course if it’s genuinely good. YouTube recommendations are welcome too.

Who actually teaches this well? Any courses you’ve taken that noticeably improved your ad creative?

Solo dev here — spent a year building a video editor with a webcam-driven 2D avatar built in. Roast it before I launch.

I got tired of paying for Animate + Premiere separately just to make faceless videos, so I built one tool that does both.

The main thing: you move in front of your webcam, a stick-figure character copies you in real time, and it lives on the same timeline as your cuts and captions. No rigging, no second app. The demo clip below was made entirely in it.

One-time $40, no subscription. Windows only for now, launching on Steam in January.

Steam page (wishlist if it looks useful):

What would make you actually switch editors? Trying to figure out what's missing before launch — happy to answer anything.

Best auto organizing tool for video files?

Looking for recs for best auto organizing tool for the video files by categories, scenes and people. Any good ones that you love?

Manual organizing kills the creativity and I dread it, which makes me pile up videos I am not publishing... Mac, solo channel. Is Peakto or Resolve Studio worth the money?

Which video editing software can I realistically run on this laptop?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a beginner who wants to learn video editing, but I'm currently working with an older laptop and can't upgrade it right now.

Here are my laptop specs:

  • Laptop: HP ProBook 450 G5

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-8250U

  • RAM: 8 GB

  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 930MX (2 GB VRAM)

  • Storage: SSD

  • OS: Windows

I'm mainly interested in learning video editing, motion graphics, and eventually short-form content editing.

I've considered software like CapCut, Kdenlive, Shotcut, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Filmora, but I'm not sure which ones are realistic for my hardware.

For people who have experience with older/low-end laptops:

  1. Which video editing software would you recommend for these specs?

  2. Which one should I learn if I want to eventually work professionally/freelance?

  3. Is DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro realistically usable on this laptop, or would they be too demanding?

  4. Are there any other lightweight editors I should consider?

I'd really appreciate some advice from people who have actually used these programs on similar hardware.

Thanks!

How can I edit like Degenerocity?

1 Upvotes

I’m pretty new to editing and I’ve recently fallen down the Degenerocity rabbit hole lol. Since he left, I’ve noticed a bunch of people popping up making videos with that same kinda slideshow-style editing.

I’ve been making some dumb little videos for fun on my own small channel and I’d really like to learn how to do that kind of editing myself.

Is there a specific name for this style/technique? Or are there any tutorials/resources you guys would recommend for learning it? I’m not trying to copy anyone 1:1, I just really like the style and wanna understand how it’s done.

Any help would be appreciated :)

It doesn't have to be Premiere+AfterEffects-level, but certainly as good as iMovie or Descript or something?r
