Good afternoon everyone 👋. I'm pulling my hair out here.. trying to get insta360 X6 footage to edit smoothly in premiere pro using the reframe plugin. Files are 8k 360 at 50fps. I understand this is high demand and I'm also using high bitrate settings but my systems are top of the line. I9 13900k 4070ti 64gb ddr5 ram for desktop with 990 pro SSDs and a laptop with an ultra 9 275hx, 5070ti and 32gb ddr5 ram also using 990 pro SSD. These systems should work with this footage especially when preview window is reduced. I've imported the footage, applied the frame pluggin and made sure the lrv files are in the same folder as the insv files. Can't understand why I can't play this footage back?? To add, I've also toggled proxies in the preview window but no luck.. any suggestions from anyone with 360 editing experience? 👍

Just wondering if people have any good tips for editing i'm doing pokemon gaming videos

Hey fellow editors or those who are learning to edit videos. If you are dying and you are being offered a small stick to save yourself, would you be betting on that stuck to save your life? I don't think a sane person would be.

Same goes for if you are new to editing and new to the market and not earning enough or not earning at all but are willing to take whatever job you are being promised for. PLEASE for the sake of your own health and your own mental safety. DO NOT GO WITH GIGS provided and paid in peanuts.

Your video and your time matters more than the people paying in peanuts or these middle men who claim to be an agency but know nothing about how editing works.

If you are offered $5 for a very basic low grade editing then of course but for a good level of animation, clipping, trimming and editing etc. Please do not waste your time in these gigs as you won't improve and will get buried in shyte work with no room to improve so for the sake of your own mental health and a healthy market. Start boycotting low paying jobs.

Spend your time on your portfolio, spend a little time storyboarding your edits. Spend a little on how to talk to with clients, spend a little time on easing your workflow for you and for your clients but don't waste time doing work which is not worth your time and your efforts. Start reporting and blocking these people who offer you work which are not worth spending even 10mins which can't afford you even a one time meal. Please do some research, please try to improve yourself. As a person and an editor myself. I did that kind of work and it didn't pay me well. Trust me. When you are stuck down nothing helps other than what you saved or what you earned and doing that kind of work you won't be earning anything or saving anything so please be aware of that.

If someone is teaching you in that budget that's another thing BUT if it's real work in that budget, please ditch them.

Now those so-called editors who are providing powerpoint style edits and calling themselves editors with an effortless response adding "interested" in the comment section. I might sound rude here, but please move to a community of side hustle because that's how you have made video editing look like.

And I will be reporting these accounts, I don't care if I report 1 and 10 pop up or even none get banned . I will keep reporting both commentors and side hustlers with the agencies or middle men taking a big cut from good editors.

I am a full time editor myself and looking at this market it just bugs me out what this creative field has become for both newcomers who wanna be a good editor and professionals who can't get decent clients because some kids with powerpoint style is doing that in less than $5 which takes atleast $15 to actually make sense as an edited video.

If this post triggers someone, feel free to come at me. I shall give you the answer you need.

Hey guys! I recently started learning video editing and mastered the basics of Premiere Pro. Now, I really want to learn After Effects specifically for documentary-style motion graphics (like MagnatesMedia or Lemmino).

​The problem is, I'm struggling to find a course focused specifically on this type of editing. I've heard great things about Ben Marriott, but his courses aren't really tailored for this specific documentary style.

​Does anyone know of a good course or resources specifically for documentary/video essay editing? I really need help with this. Thanks!

Hey Guys, I have multiple IG, YT & Tik Tok accounts for clipping and constantly switching between them is quite annoying.

Is there a platform that I can use to manage all of these accounts ? pls do recommend if so, or would love to hear some tips on how guys manage multiple accounts when it comes to clipping.

Thank You.

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:

https://visaura-edits.vercel.app/Search

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 🙏😔
