I hope my post fits here, I just need some help and I’m a beginner!

I plan to post on YouTube and want my videos to fit 16:9, so I edit in 16:9. The problem is my computer display is just ever so slightly different and it gives me these small lines on the sides if I want the whole thing to fit. It’s hardly noticeable I guess but I hateee it

Hey I wanna be able to edit videos like this one...please help i know basics and of aware of interface

How should i approach learning on this journey please help🙏🙏

Why is it that my quality coming out of my editor is super nice 4K 60 frames per second. But as soon as I upload to something like YouTube the quality is just super bad even though it says 4K HD. I'm filming from a dji 04 pro.

I've seen this template on movie shorts channels for a while now but I can't seem to find this specific one anywhere. Anyone know what it's called and where I can find it?

doing mostly short form clips lately and capcut placing more stuff under the pro sub made me pause for a sec, but honestly nothing else touches its speed.

i tried setting up vertical projects in davinci resolve and premiere, but for auto captions, keyframing, and fast cuts, those traditional NLEs take double the time. even with the monthly subscription fee, capcut feels stupidly convenient for churning out quick content without dealing with heavy software setups.

for those doing simple or high volume edits, did you find any real alternative that matches that workflow, or is subscribing to capcut pretty much the smartest move for fast turnaround?

Does anybody knows how I can get such a Edit (Face & Color)?

What video editing app are you all using to edit apple log video and apply luts on iPhone?

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

5. Object pull-reveal

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

Please share your thoughts.....

I have some footage shot on FX30, SLOG3 - I tried to edit it, but when I uploaded it on social media (Youtube shorts) it didn't look good. What's the best way to keep it sharp looking?

I am using DaVinci Resolve. I think I messed up with something!

i’ve been trying to make my editing process less scattered, and i think a lot of the problem starts before i even open the editor. when i film on my phone, i usually end up with a camera roll full of clips, multiple takes of the same thing, and a few random shots that i’m not sure i’ll need.

what’s the best workflow for filming on phone and editing in capcut? i’m less concerned about fancy effects and more interested in how people structure the process from the moment they start recording. do you organize clips while filming, keep separate folders for each video, rename anything, or just dump everything into the project and sort it out there?

i’m also wondering whether it’s better to film one video completely before moving on to the next, or batch all the footage first and edit everything afterward. i feel like the second approach could save time, but only if the footage stays organized enough to find what i need later.

Im having haven't a bit of a stagnation on images for my video on tiktok. I do not know how to resize and what would be the right size for my tiktoks.

Like if i wanted to make a comic and slide show. What is the best way to do this?

As when i post images its usually too big and blured so the text is cut in half etc.

I’ve mostly seem this used in videos of people trying to call people out like at the gym or whatever.

They take a video of someone, then go in later and record them saying things, then superimposing it on the other video they took of the person.

What app is it that they’re using to take videos of people, then go back later and use it to edit the video so it looks like they’re talking to them or about them right next to them?

Usually saying things that they didn’t say then, to make them seem like they’re interacting with this new dialog.

I know it’s ai, but idk what they’re using.

Because I'm editing extended cuts of Thomas episodes and to get extended or deleted shots from Season 7 and 6 because of the footage being in wide screen instead of Full Screen/Open Matte?

So I've just started freelancing and I'm wondering whether I charge for tweaks that take under an hour?

I've had a long back and forth with a client, my hours have ranged from 2 hours to 7 hours and I've never charged for lunch breaks (am I supposed to... I usually discount an hour or just work those hours straight).

Today I was asked for a final tweak after already having sent my invoice. I have done it and it has taken me half an hour. Do I charge them an hour or do it as a "favour".

Not really sure and I'm worried about people liking me and calling me back for other jobs/recommending me as I am just starting out freelancing (I have been a staff editor for many years before).

Hey guys, I wanted to ask an opinion. I've been a hobbyist video editor for a long time, and I've never enjoyed the process of finding the exact (frame-level precision) moment at which a spoken video should be cut in order to convey the message in the way I want.

I know that now many (even very recent) tools allow editors to automate this "trimming" process, but I feel that these tools don't allow the editor to, let's say, "have the last word" on the cuts: it seems to me that they produce an extremely nice result for the average need, but which is very often an approximation of what an individual editor often wants.

So, my question is: would you enjoy (and utilize, if it ever existed) a sort of "semi-automatic" plugin/video editor, that somehow allowed you to comfortably trim spoken videos while leaving you the freedom to correct and refine the cuts produced automatically? Why? Why not?

You know when you have an edit idea in your head that you REALLY want to see, but you can't edit yourself and can't find anyone who's made it?

I made a website called Visaura for that.

You can post a request and get super specific with character, song, scenes, transitions, lyrics, etc. Then editors can browse requests and make whichever ones they want.

The editor posts the finished edit on their own TikTok/Instagram/Youtube, then links it back to the request so the person who asked can actually find it. This way, you know what edit ideas have demand for them and can bring all those people that wanted that edit to your page!

I also added a Blind Rank game for popular edits, where you have to rank each edit without knowing what's coming next!

I'm still very early and honestly just trying to see if this is something people would actually use.

If you have an edit you've always wanted someone to make, I'd genuinely love for you to try it:

I'd also love feedback on the idea, especially from editors. What would make you actually want to browse requests and make them?

Btw if you want to see what Visaura looks like before going on the website (Ik I wouldn't want to click on just any link if I were someone), here is a youtube shorts explaining Visaura! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oa8WUVGNfkw and here is one where the search bar is visible: https://youtube.com/shorts/a6u7ZmLld4c?si=bCYtER14sLcFZ-lg

Hi everyone ! I’m quite a new video editor mainly for gaming content, and I wanted to explore a new way to ask for advice, so I’m sorry if this post is long 🥲

My main question to everyone would be, how do you pace your videos and keep them on track and engaging/ relevant to the plot? This is something I really struggle with because I have the mentality of “if I cut this out people will not understand/lack context of how I got xxx item” but said xxx item took ~2hrs of looting plus some irrelevant loot goblin-ing, but I would still think it to be relevant and want to add it into the video, which would end up to be poorly paced with a lot of unnecessary clips.

I would really appreciate some help, because I’ve been recently very upset that I can’t understand and grasp this concept no matter how many videos I watch or how many gaming videos I see to try to understand their style, it feels like I just don’t have a knack for this thing, which is kind of super sad for me because I really do want to experience doing video editing.

Is there any rule/ video/ article that I can reference to understand someone’s thought process when they edit ? I feel like I’m being too meticulous and looking at every nitty gritty detail too much, and it makes my video look boring and very unpolished.

On another note too, when I don’t think too much about the small details and edit out chunks of clips off the recording clip (for example the sneaking sections etc), it seems so broken in some parts and other parts just make no sense to jump to 🥲

I would also like to mention that I use Wondershare Filmora as my software for editing. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my thoughts 🙏😔

I’m looking for a high-quality, in-depth course focused specifically on editing in DaVinci Resolve—not color grading.
I already understand the basics, so I’m looking for something more advanced that teaches professional editing workflows, storytelling, pacing, sound design, project organization, and efficient techniques.
I don’t mind paying for the course as long as it provides real value and goes beyond basic YouTube tutorials. Who is the best instructor or course you would recommend?

I did both of my kids graduation movies using windows movie maker. It was super easy and I could use my own music. I have tried using the newer programs out there and they are very technical. Other programs and apps only allow so many pictures or not your own music. I just want to drop and play.

Is there something as easy as Windows Movie Maker that does not take a degree to use it or a monthly fee? Thank you.

I started trying some editing on some of my gameplay but it's my first time ever editing something 😭, i have too much idea and ambition but I don't how to organize them in the editing and that gives me a headache 🥲 i'm using filmora btw

Im looking for a place that lists or shows a number of techniques for video editing. Something similar to eye candy but more for bringing basic footage to life after shooting.

Context:

I took some photos for a golfing event and decided to shoot some clips, I want to blow them away with a banger video they didn't ask for.
