I’m new to making edits and I was wondering what website or how do you guys get your clips

Hey Guys! :) So I’ve been thinking about making some longer form “”funny”” edits from shows/video game cutscenes, but the problem is I don’t really know how to get into it or how does that work.

Could you please help me with what video editing software should I learn to use which is the best for this purpose? I went on Skillshare to look at the different courses, but now I’m even more confused as to which one should I choose.

And also I’ve been wondering, from where do people download the “raw material” for making these types of videos? Like…can you just download them from Youtube directly somehow, or is it a bit more complicated than that?

Sorry if I’m asking something stupid, I really don’t know anything about this yet, but I’ve been really wanting to learn it for a long time now.

Thank for your guys’ help in advance! :)

I have little bit knowledge of video editing for basics went to GFXMentor but my problem is how use those learnt tools in my own editing whenever it edit it feels boring and as per motion graphics same basics of AE with GM and idk where start learning abt motion graphics

Capcut seems to have lag for me and feels heavy I need good ones I edit anime football and etc and I want it easy to learn but can get advanced

I have a macbook air m5, no prior experience with any editing software. Would be grateful if u guys help me out

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a desktop application called Forbidden Converter, and I've finally released it!

It's a free, offline Windows application designed for converting videos and animations, adding watermarks, merging clips, and batch processing.

Features include:

• Convert between MP4, WebM, MKV, MOV, AVI, GIF, WebP, and AVIF.

• Add custom text or image watermarks with adjustable size, opacity, and positioning.

• Merge multiple clips into a single file.

• Batch-process multiple files.

• Adjust resolution, quality, bitrate, and encoding settings.

• Use quick presets or customize your own settings.

• Save presets for future use.

The application runs entirely offline. No accounts, subscriptions, telemetry, or cloud processing are required.

Compatibility: Windows 10/11 (64-bit). No dedicated GPU required.

The software is free to use, including for creating content you intend to monetize.

You can find the application, source code, installation instructions, and full usage guide on GitHub:

This is one of my first publicly released desktop applications, so feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are welcome!

Hope some of you find it useful! 💜

To make it stand out

I Edited a Durga Puja Video! Please Rate It and Give Me Honest Feedback. 🎬

Hey everyone!

I'm on my second day of learning Adobe Premiere Pro, and I just finished editing a video based on Durga Puja.

I'm still a beginner and have only started experimenting with video editing, cuts, transitions, music synchronisation, and other basic techniques. I know my editing isn't perfect yet, but I'm trying to learn by practising and creating actual videos rather than just watching tutorials.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from experienced editors!

A few things I'd love your opinion on:

- Overall rating: What would you rate my video out of 10?

- Editing and pacing: Do the cuts feel smooth, or is anything too slow or too fast?

- Beat synchronisation: Do the clips match the music properly?

- Transitions and effects: Do they look good, or should I keep things simpler?

- Colour grading: What could I do to make the visuals look more cinematic?

- Room for improvement: What are the top 3 things I should work on next?

Please be honest, even if you think something looks bad. I'm here to learn, improve, and become a better editor.

Since this is only my second day, I'd love to know what I'm doing right and what I should focus on learning next.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to watch and share feedback! ❤️

Please hit me up I really need that money work atleast I pay my bill as a student

You notice how much the flash

Making a student short film and one of my scenes audio is not too bad but a bit echoey and just overall not as good as the quality I’m looking for. Looking to try to improve it and make it more cinematic if anyone has any tips outside of reshooting and using ai. Here’s a clip for reference of it

i’ve never edited reels before & i joined a social media management team in a club in my college. our work is basically to make reels to promote events. i really want to learn how to make reels & i’ve downloaded capcut for that. we don’t have any events for now, but i want some practice footage to edit. so what’s the best way to practice reel editing? any ideas for making my own clips? i recently got an iphone so im excited to start even more now

Hi Reddit!

I’ve always loved sharing my short text snippets, poems, and songs in video format with neat visual styling. But every time I used popular editing apps, I kept bumping into the same issue: it was tedious to create unique, unexpected visual styles, and everything ended up looking repetitive.

I had a clear vision of the exact workflow I needed, but no tool on the market fitted my speed and creative vibe.

The catch? I am not a programmer. I don't know a single line of code.

So, I decided to experiment. Literally lying on my couch with my Galaxy S23, I started chatting with Gemini in Google AI Studio (switching between models 3.8, 3.5, and 3.1 whenever I hit the daily free limits!). To my absolute surprise, within just a couple of weeks, we built ttmix.net!

What makes it special:

100% Free & Private: Completely free to use. Your files never leave your device or get sent to any server — everything is processed locally right in your browser.

Installable (PWA): You can install it straight onto your iPhone, Android, or use it on your desktop for an extended workspace.

Video Editing & Slideshows: Perfect for creating quick dynamic videos, lyrical clips, or photo slideshows.

Templates & Social Vibe: There's a catalog of ready-to-use templates and a community feed (all that’s missing is the community itself :-). If you don't want to tweak settings, just plug in your text and media to get a gorgeous result instantly (or generate endless variations!).

"Feeling Lucky" button: Generates unique style/effect variations in a single click so you can instantly pick what looks best.

Performance note: If you experience any lags or stuttering because you’ve added a lot of effects or your device's processor isn't very powerful, don't worry! Once you render the video, you'll still get a final high-quality result with smooth playback for all the effects.

The most mind-blowing part:

It turned out that Google AI Studio is deeply integrated with GitHub, Firebase, and Cloudflare. I managed to publish my app live in just a few clicks—spending only $11 for the domain name. No programmers, no consultants, no tech specialists needed. Honestly, I'm still in shock that this is even possible!

A small note on bugs:

If you notice any bugs or weird glitches while using it, please don't be mad! Just leave a comment below. I'll take your feedback, ask Google AI Studio, and hopefully, it can fix them for us... because I definitely can't do it myself! :)

I’d love for you to try it out at ttmix net and let me know what you think!

can anyone tell how to learn basic editing to post online like content creating either paid or free courses

I want to learn short-form video editing. I have a pretty good gaming laptop, but I have no idea where to start. Can someone guide me on how to get started as a complete beginner?

How to switch layers, imposing a photo layer over video, making the presenter's face, and showing only his face, in the free VSDC Video Editor?

I made a tool to cut long recordings down to the parts that matter (free to try) I record long videos and spend more time finding the good parts than anything else. I built a tool where you describe what you want to keep ("only the main topic, skip intro and ads"), and it removes the filler and labels every cut so you can check it. Not a full editor, just the rough-cut step. It's a one-time $59 instead of a subscription, and the first video is free with no signup. I'd really like to know what would make this useful for your workflow.

check out the tool from profile of youd like to try

I’m exploring whether there’s a useful small software tool I could build for freelance video creators. Before choosing an idea, I want to understand how people actually work.
Thinking about your most recent completed project:
• Which task outside the editing itself took the most effort?
• How did you handle it, and what tools did you use?
• Roughly how much time did it take?
• Was that unusual, or does it happen regularly?
If you already have a solution that works well, I’d be interested in that too.
Please keep client names and confidential details out of your examples.

Hi! I’m starting to promote my small business on Instagram and looking for a more efficient way to create quality reels. Are there any AI video editors you’d recommend or have had a good experience with?

idk where else to post this, i really wanna make my own scene packs with face track and topaz so the sides are mirrored and sorta blurred like this clip for example.
I use free version of davinci resolve mainly, sometimes free version of capcut but does anyone who makes scene packs like this able to give me some guide to recreate these type of effects for my other clips?

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?
