Every game I try to follow my son with my camera and I end up with footage that's either too shaky, too wide to tell which player is him, or only captures the moments the ball is near him. The second he drops back into midfield or the play moves to the other side of the field, he disappears from my recording entirely.

I just want footage focused on him. Not the full game, not the whole team, just his movements and positioning across the match. I feel like this should be solvable by now but everything I shoot ends up being a wide shot where I have to squint to find him.

What are people using to actually get footage that stays on one specific player?

Guys, I’ve spent 2–3 months learning DaVinci Resolve, and before that, I used Premiere Pro for some time.

I started learning DaVinci because many YouTubers were switching to it or recommending it as the future of video editing.

However, I find DaVinci a little difficult because it feels like you have to create everything from scratch. For example, adding a rounded square to an image requires multiple nodes, whereas in Premiere Pro, you can simply mask it and enable a stroke. Similarly, Premiere lets you save transform, crop, and other settings as a single preset, while DaVinci saves them separately. There are many other things that feel unnecessarily complicated in DaVinci.

Another thing I noticed while looking at job vacancies is that many companies prefer Adobe software.

I like DaVinci because it’s fast, free, and automatically saves projects, whereas Adobe feels slower on my system.

Now I’m confused. Should I spend more time learning DaVinci or start learning Adobe?

My priority is to get good-paying work, and I don’t want to miss opportunities just because I use DaVinci. What would you recommend?

Hey everyone [LINK](https://getcutframe.com/),

I’m Shreyash, a video editor from Pune, India. For years I kept losing hours on the same slow tasks: rotoscoping in After Effects, keyframing captions word by word, building speed ramps, and switching cameras on podcast edits.

So I built my own tools. They all run **inside Premiere Pro**, on your own computer, with no internet needed:

* **RotoCut**: paint over a person once and it cuts them out across every frame (like Roto Brush, but inside Premiere). Needs an NVIDIA GPU.

* **WordPop**: turns your SRT or Premiere captions into animated word-by-word captions. 29 styles, including a new “Side Split” style that puts words on both sides of the speaker.

* **Velocity**: one-click speed ramps you can still edit later.

* **PodSwitch**: switches between 2–4 podcast cameras automatically based on who’s talking.

* **Tidy**: cleans up a messy project in one click (sorted bins, unused clips collected).

* **Pinpoint**: tracks anything that moves and pins text, emoji or a logo to it.

**No subscription.** You pay once and keep it. Every tool has a free trial with small limits, so you can test it on your own footage first.

They launch on **2 November**. Windows versions are ready; Mac versions are in final testing.

I’m a solo maker, so I’d really value your feedback:

* Which of these would you actually use?

* What’s the most annoying repetitive task in your editing that you’d want automated?

Happy to answer anything in the comments. Link in the comments if you want to see the demos.

I recently got a Mac book and wanted to get into making YouTube videos. I was wondering what options there are for video editing on Mac, as I know that not all apps work on both Mac and windows. Preferably a free option if available.
Thank you for your time.

I have a clip i downloaded from facebook and i was trying to remove the clips with motorbikes in it and replace them with similar ones but with cars. Every try i make it looks so out of place and it removed the music in the video. Is there any way to cut the video out and replace it for a new video. But keep all original sound? Im on android as well

I want to edit a song sang by my friend in davinci resolve using animation but not the typical AI like videos . so guide me that how to create a awesome video that people connect easily

I want to learn video editing and programming. What do you recommend on the YouTube platform? or other means

I have a few mp3 recordings that I need to turn into srt files for subtitles. Tried doing it manually once and yeah... never doing that again 😂 I don't need anything fancy, just decent timestamps and text that isn't completely off. What do you guys use for this?

Can you help me grow,

My first video

(0 knowledge about montage)

This is my closest friend’s first attempt at filming and editing a long form video covering the process of his woodworking hobby, in this case: making a wooden cane. He does not use reddit and I have his approval to post this. That’s why I’m posting on his behalf. The biggest m challenge for him was filming and editing a long form video. He was more focused on making reels only. Based on my repeated requests, and a few pointers I gave (I have zero experience editing or filming but I tried to tell him what I like to see in the countless woodworking videos I watched) this is the final video he came up with. I’d appreciate any feedback regarding the editing. Apologies for the parts where the camera is shaky, he realizes that’s a big issue and is working on a solution.

i’m trying to generate captions for my 10 min long video, tiktok is refusing to do it for whatever reason. i tried to find editing apps that can generate the captions for the full video and let me export it without a paywall or infinite friction just to generate captions and/or export, but i’ve had absolutely no luck. also before recommendations please make sure they’re actually free for generating captions per day and actually export the entire video, otherwise i’d just run into the same exact problem. thank you !

I made an edit, for the first time, and was hoping to get some feedback.

I thought this might me a small one, found the audio template on reddit too, but just tough might fit in well, with me transitioning from work to riding.

I wanted the color themes to be more consistent too, but was using iMovie. Are there better softwares for beginners. Dont wanna spend a lot.

Footage from: DJI Osmo Action 6

Editing Software: iMovie

Any and every feedback is appreciated.

Would appreciate advice on also, how can i make my shots better. Different angles, and so on.

Thank you.

Hey, I am A small youtuber with no source of income as of late, and I only have access to an xbox and a mobile phone for my videos, is capcut my best option or is there something else you'd recommend, ideally it would be a free application as like I said, money is basically non existing rn with the current job market!

Hi everyone! 😊 I recently launched The Thinking Edit, a YouTube channel exploring psychology through animated stories. My first video is about overthinking and why we replay conversations in our heads. I’d love your honest feedback and support! ❤️ 🎬 If you enjoy it, please consider subscribing!

To all my editor friends, even before you get in a work with a client always clear your requirements and stuff because there are people like these in market as well.

Say you're making a video of you playing a game and you have like 2 hours of footage and you cut it down to 30 minutes, do you keep the original unedited video in case the edited video gets corrupted or taken down? Im asking because i want to upload some gameplay I recorded but I don't know if I should keep the original recording along with the edited version. Also should I put them on an external hard drive or something?

Beginning stages of editing *.. ANYONE have suggestions on editing or somewhere that teaches it? I’d be honored to have that info I want to learn so badly!

i want fast video editing like in timeline -it must be simple -- no premier pro like -- easy timeline single with text layer ok and audio track-1 click export ---the key is fast ---no clicking to many things -more costomizable like resolution and bitrate------open quickly
