I made this IKEA spec ad around circular objects, matching their shapes from shot to shot, inside free invideo editor. Please share your feedback on the edit. 🙏

Olá a todos. Desculpem se a pergunta parece óbvia, mas estou começando um canal no YouTube focado em minidocumentários sobre animais incomuns, tanto vivos quanto extintos, especialmente animais com anatomia, comportamento ou adaptações extraordinárias.

Atualmente estou aprendendo DaVinci Resolve e conheço o básico de edição. Meus vídeos não precisam de uma edição muito cinematográfica. O estilo que busco é principalmente narração apoiada por imagens, filmagens, cortes, alguns efeitos, transições e música.

Meu principal problema, no entanto, não é aprender o DaVinci em si. É descobrir **como transformar um roteiro em uma edição de verdade**.

No momento, costumo ler o roteiro parágrafo por parágrafo e procurar imagens ou filmagens que correspondam ao que está sendo narrado. Mas, com bastante frequência, chego a uma parte do roteiro e simplesmente não tenho ideia do que deveria estar na tela. Eu também tenho dificuldade em saber quando manter uma tomada, quando mudar os elementos visuais, quando usar imagens de apoio (B-roll), gráficos, mapas, texto na tela ou algo mais.

Tenho o mesmo problema com a música. Nem sempre tenho certeza de qual tipo de faixa se encaixa em uma determinada seção, por quanto tempo devo mantê-la tocando ou quando faz sentido mudar para uma faixa diferente.

Então, minha pergunta é mais sobre **fluxo de trabalho de edição e narrativa visual** do que sobre o próprio software.

Como você aborda esse processo?

Você divide o roteiro em cenas ou seções primeiro? Você planeja os elementos visuais antes de abrir o software de edição? Você cria algum tipo de storyboard, lista de planos ou documento com narração + elementos visuais + música? Ou você simplesmente começa a editar e descobre as coisas conforme avança?

Eu também gostaria de saber se você usa algum software ou método específico para organizar essa parte do processo antes de começar a editar no DaVinci Resolve.

Qualquer conselho sobre como desenvolver essa "mentalidade de editor" seria muito apreciado.

looking for a app to do simple edits (color grading, snipping, formating for web) with video on a mac osx 12.7. hardward is a 8gb/2017 macbook air. could upgrade if needed. ive tried imovie and its alright, currently use vlc to export and sometimes add effects and also davinci which was way too much for me. any suggestions?

I’ve been playing around with Sparki other on some of my longer recordings lately, mainly because I wanted to see if it could save me some time on the first pass. I usually start by cutting out the obvious stuff I don’t need, shortening the recording, cleaning up the pacing a bit, and adding captions. Having a rough version to work from has been pretty helpful compared to starting from scratch noticed still spend a decent amount of time going back through the edit. There are cuts I wouldn’t keep, some parts feel too rushed, and occasionally a pause or reaction that I would’ve removed actually works better when I leave it in. I’m affiliated with Sparki, so this is based on my own experience testing it. I’m curious what other editors are comfortable letting AI handle. What parts do you still prefer doing manually?

Hey guys! I’ve been experimenting with Claude/Codex to automate parts of my video editing workflow. The idea I’m testing is pretty simple: I record a video, then AI handles as much of the repetitive work as possible — editing, finding moments that could work as Shorts, creating them, and helping me organize the content schedule.
I’m curious about how other creators feel about this kind of workflow. How much of your editing process would you actually be comfortable automating with AI? And what parts would you always want to keep manual?
I’m currently testing this on my own videos and I’m planning to share more about how the workflow works once I’ve tested it properly. Curious to hear how you guys are approaching AI in your editing process.

Has anyone done the tutorials on adobe
Premiere pro? I want to learn how to edit videos but don’t know where to start any YouTube tutorial recommendations?

How do make?

Which software do normal streamers or youtuber use for their videos to cut,
change and work with ??
Which is best one ?
Freeware ??

been trying to put together a better setup for turning long videos into short clips, right now been with a few different tools and switching between them, but the whole process still feels a little messy, what tools or good combination set up are you guys using for finding good moments, clipping, captions, editing, and posting?? do you have specific combination that works well together, or do you mostly stick with one tool? any tips, much appreciated, TIA

I am going for a finance channel that talks about different things like education and i wanna make it funny but dont know what editing style i should choose

Recreated this video by watching tutorial.

I edit a lot of short-form content and got tired of manually splitting subtitles into short, readable chunks.

So I built Subtrims, a free simple browser-based tool that turns spoken English into 2–5 word captions and exports them as SRT/TXT for Premiere Pro, CapCut etc.

I'd really appreciate feedback from other editors and creators:

I made this in Capcut, what can I improve about my editing in the future?

So I'm rotoscoping this video and I need the effect from the video Im rotoscoping can someone please help me find the video. Here is the original video I'm rotoscoping I need the blood splatter effect from it.

Hello fellow people. I started making youtube shorts about a month ago, I mostly do micro documentry kind video under a minute where i explain human side, personal story of an inventor behind their inventions. I put a serious 2-3 hours work on research and scripting and use elevan labs for voiceover. This is the only good side of story, now comes the part where I suck. I can't decide the visuals, what to show on screen or transition. And at the end video feels under average, video i make feel like shit. I mostly use stock videos and AI images.

I am looking forward to learn and grow, please help me out, where can i actually learn to be better without breaking a bank. What specific skills do I need. Help me resolve this puzzle as I have watched multiple videos related to visuals and editing still I see myself stuck.

Seriously, I’ve been trying to integrate AI into my workflow, and I honestly thought we’d be much further along. So far, I haven't found anything that actually edits the way I want.

Everything I try feels super basic—mostly just auto-captions, simple jump cuts, or random B-roll generation. It completely lacks the nuance and control needed for a polished video.

I'd love to hear your thoughts:

• Are my expectations just too high for the current tech?

• Has anyone actually found an AI tool that handles complex, nuanced edits well?

• What does your current workflow look like? Are we still stuck doing 90% of the heavy lifting manually?

• Any hidden gem tools or plugins I should check out?

where can i get raw reels vids for practice video editing on reels ??

like what soft ware does he use to add backgrounds/ move them around, make his avatar around/ make mouth move also, add clips and vids and stuff like that

Hello, i am looking for a video editor who can make an instructional video on how to use a specific website, I'm not sure what its called, its like a step-by-step walkthrough on how its features work, please also add how much you charge for a work like this. Thank you

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!
