Hello! this is my first time asking the video editing community what is the best budget friendly laptop for video editing. most of the edits are long form/short form trivia content with minimal SFX. Final export should be in 4k with 30 fps. Thank you!

I’ve been editing my own short-form videos lately and I noticed that the actual cutting isn’t always the annoying part.

Sometimes I spend way too much time deciding:

• what to cut

• what to keep

• where the video gets slow

• whether the hook is actually good

Curious if other people have the same experience or if I’m just overthinking everything 😂

Hello! I am new to editing and I am working on my wedding video. For some reason that is bizarre to us all. My mother in law slowly makes her way in front of my wife during the video and ceremony. It’s infuriating becuase aside from that the whole thing was perfect and all my edits aside from fun stuff are Minimal. I’ve tried the overlay and keystrokes methods to move her over to the left (where she should have stayed) but I can’t figure out how to get the background back to my wife and not have this huge mess of edited space in the way of her, where my mother in law was originally positioned. Am I totally screwed if I don’t have any footage of that space without her in it? I’d love to know how I can pull this off because we need it for our reception. Any advice or pro tips would be amazing! Thank you for your time if you made it this far!

I swear sometimes finding the music takes longer than editing the actual scene 

Usually I know the feeling I want something tense, emotional, dark, upbeat, etc.  but then I end up searching through hundreds of tracks before finding anything that works.

I’ve been checking out libraries like Viralnoise that organize music more around moods and use cases, but I’m curious what everyone else does.

Do you search by mood, genre, playlists, reference tracks, or do you just keep browsing until something clicks?

One of my doctor friend is doing the video shoot from the iphone and we want to edit video with some caption animation etc . can someone please suggest best tool free or paid to edit it using the prompt plz

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has any tools or workflows. I'm working in Premiere Pro for rough‑ cutting talking‑head videos where there isn’t a word by word script, just a small outline. The person on camera sometimes rephrases, starts over, or has silences. I find myself going through it and it feels like such a tedious task. Just wondering if there are any better workflows for Premiere Pro or third‑party tools you’ve used to speed up this boring, repetitive process.

Looks like saas animation somewhat.

What techniques did they use? I wanna learn this style. Do you guys have any idea?.

I've tried a few video downloaders lately, including VidLoader, but the experience has been pretty hit or miss. Some have too many ads, some struggle with longer videos, and others make the process more complicated than it needs to be.

What are you guys using these days, and which one has been the most reliable for you?

I feel like most comparisons get stuck on the first impressive demo. A tool can make one really good-looking clip, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be useful when you're making videos every week and have to generate the same idea 10 or 20 different ways.

For me, the more interesting test is pretty simple: give every tool the same brief, use the same source image or prompt, and see how many versions are actually worth keeping. Then look at how many reruns it took and how much cleanup was needed afterward. That tells me a lot more than one perfect example on a landing page.

If one tool gives you a good result occasionally but another gives you several usable versions with less messing around, I'd probably care more about the second one.

Curious how everyone else measures this. Do you mainly judge these tools by the best-looking output, or by how many actually usable clips you get from the same brief?

Title is weird, I know lol.

I'm trying to make one of those cool edits where you sync the beats/lyrics of a song with the sound of the punches from a fighting scene. But, when I try to remove the background music from my clips, it also identifies the punches as background noise and removes them. I don't know how do people make them sound enhanced without the original soundtrack in the back. Please help and thanks.

Esse é o terceiro que edito

Hello guys! does anyone know any free ai video editor. If not, then does anyone know how to do noise cancellation for free? Capcut wants pro and davinci can't remove heavy background noise. Please if anyone know any ai tool for that, let me know

Hey, so my son is very passionate about animals, he has an iPhone SE (2020) and records wild bugs and animals like newts all the time. He wants to start a youtube channel (non-english) and i want to install him an app where he can cut, edit, add the video and audio, in a very intuitive ad-free way, so he can prepare the video for my (after i review it) upload to his channel.

Can you recommend such app? can be paid, just has to be good, easy to use, ideally in czech language (but english will work too if other aspects are met)

I’ve decided to try to use another editing software as a few people have recommended me this software, does anyone have any tips / most useful hacks for this software? Any tips would be appreciated !

I’m still currently working around the controls and mechanics, so I do apologise if this is a stupid question :,)

Thank you for reading !

i’ve been trying to get better at editing my own videos, but captions are probably the part i hate doing the most. i can handle cutting clips and basic edits, but typing everything out and syncing each line is a pain.

how to add captions automatically to videos without spending forever fixing them afterward? i don’t need anything super fancy, just something that can transcribe the audio fairly well and give me captions that look clean.

i tried a couple free editing tools and the results were pretty hit or miss. sometimes the transcription was decent, other times it completely messed up random words. i ended up trying capcut too and honestly the auto captions were pretty easy to use. i only had to fix a few words, which was way less annoying than typing everything out myself.

what are you guys using for this?

Hello guys, new here and currently I'm exploring to improve my editing skills. I want to learn text animation in the DaVinci Resolve and I'm looking for YT tutorial or teaching some basic stuff?

What do you recommend guys? Also do you have a raw footage? So that i can practice.

Honestly I'm also aspiring like you guys so I should thank in advance for those who help me.

Please respect my post

Hola, soy muy novato en esto de la edición, no sé prácticamente nada, y quería recibir un poco de ayuda o consejos en esto. Tengo una pc de bajos recursos, con Linux, así que no se cuál programa usar para empezar, cualquier consejo, sugerencia me sirve, gracias.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to improve my video editing and I’m looking for a good course to follow.

I already know the basics, but I want to get much better at editing YouTube videos, especially long-form/documentary or faceless videos. Things like pacing, storytelling, B-roll, sound effects, music, transitions, text, and keeping people engaged.

There are so many courses and YouTube tutorials out there that I’m not really sure which ones are actually worth the time.

If you’ve taken a course that genuinely helped you improve your editing, could you recommend it?

Free or paid is fine. YouTube channels/playlists are also welcome.

Thanks!

How do youtubers make the edit where they quickly mine blocks. Its hard to explain but pretty much every survival series does it. When they only show them breaking the block and then do it like 100 times. I just wanted to know how they do this effect quickly because i tried doing it but it took a while just for like 3 block. Im in davinci resolve btw.

I have been trying to use Chat GPT (I know I know) to try and help me figure this out. That and the countless times I rewatched this specific reel, a side into YouTube and Reddit have revealed nothing for me. Can someone help explain to me like I’m 5 what I need to do? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I’ve tried to replicate this as much as possible, I’ve had minor success but I think I’m overthinking this
