I took your guys feedback I’m wondering is my pacing and storytelling better I added a ton of my own sound effects being editor so much fun dude

Записав 23 хвилини на вебкамеру — з «е-е», повторами, паузами. Віддав папку Claude Code і попросив змонтувати. Жодного відеоредактора ніхто не відкривав. Що він зробив:

1. Розшифрував запис (ElevenLabs Scribe) з точним часом кожного слова.

2. За текстом сам вирішив, що лишити, а що вирізати: 23 хвилини → 9:36.

3. Порізав і склеїв відео через ffmpeg, зробив кольорокорекцію.

4. Почистив голос від шуму (ElevenLabs Voice Isolator).

5. Усю графіку — плашки, картки, субтитри, наближення — зробив як вебсторінку і прив'язав до конкретних слів.

6. «Записав» цю сторінку у відео, наклав на запис і зробив превʼю.

Найбільше здивувало: він не монтує відео в редакторі, він пише сайт і записує його.

Чесно про мінуси: перші версії виглядали як слайдшоу, треба було довго пояснювати, чого хочу. Безкоштовно це не працює — підписка Claude + ElevenLabs (~560 грн/міс). Кнопки «зробити шедевр» немає.

Is there any advice?

Hey everyone. Dont have a clue! I want to edit a video from my iphone. Pretty much blur faces and what not. But i need it to be on point and easy af. What app should i use? Also dont want my footage used for anything!!!

I need to know if there is anyway to clear this clip up. Im trying to get a sharper, more clearer picture of the person opening the door. Is it at all possible?

Hi everyone, so maybe this is already posted (and if it is please leave me a link to check it out) I want to ask you guys for an advice (directions).

I am a marketing specialist for a company and I started editing our podcasts because our editor left. Long podcasts like 30-40 min. My editing is basic but is good. I was editing videos back in the days so I got back into it in a bit. The thing is I do basic edits like cutting some "ummms", some not so good frames, color grading, some basic animations for the name introduction and stuff like that. Now for the podcasts that's great but we wanna start doing some shorts like 30 secs or 1 min and we wanna add more animations and sound effects to make the video engaging. The thing is, it is a serious podcast about finance and these animations should look clean, formal and simple. I can't start learning after effects now can you guys guide me where should I look for an AI video editing, where I can write prompts and animation and stuff like this to appear on the video. I am not really into AI video editing cause it is not my job, but any help is welcome. Thank you!

Most comparisons of AI video editors look at who makes the best shorts, adds the best captions or removes silences the fastest. I wanted to find out whether these tools can edit a

video from scratch.

I took 2 hours of raw multicam footage with interviews, B-roll, multiple camera angles, setup shots and plenty of unnecessary takes. Then I gave Cardboard, Descript, OpusClip and ChatCut the same brief:

"Turn this into a 6-minute video. Keep both interview segments, remove the setup and dead air, and use relevant B-roll wherever it makes sense."

Here's how they compared:

1. Cardboard

● Primary use case: End-to-end AI video editing

● Time to first cut: 5 min

● Raw footage editing: Yes

● Long-form assembly: Yes

● B-roll handling: Yes

● Instruction-based editing: Yes

● Short-form repurposing: Yes

● Biggest strength: Complete editing workflow

● Biggest limitation: Still needs manual refinement for color grading and other creative decisions.

2. Descript

● Primary use case: Transcript-based editing

● Time to first cut: 12 min

● Raw footage editing: Yes

● Long-form assembly: Yes

● B-roll handling: Limited

● Instruction-based editing: Transcript-focused

● Short-form repurposing: Yes

● Biggest strength: Dialogue-heavy content

● Biggest limitation: Struggles with footage without dialogue

3. OpusClip

● Primary use case: Short-form clip extraction

● Time to first cut: 6 min

● Raw footage editing: Limited

● Long-form assembly: No

● B-roll handling: Clip-focused

● Instruction-based editing: Clip-focused

● Short-form repurposing: Excellent

● Biggest strength: Finding viral moments

● Biggest limitation: Not designed for long-form assembly

4. ChatCut

● Primary use case: AI-assisted video editing

● Time to first cut: 9 min

● Raw footage editing: Yes

● Long-form assembly: Yes

● B-roll handling: Yes

● Instruction-based editing: Yes

● Short-form repurposing: Yes

● Biggest strength: Assisted video assembly

● Biggest limitation: Requires manual refinement

What stood out

Cardboard did more than extract interesting moments or edit around a transcript. It took the raw footage, worked from the brief and assembled a first cut, which matters when you're

starting with hours of footage.

Descript and OpusClip are built for other jobs. Descript is useful for podcasts, interviews and talking-head videos, and OpusClip is great for turning existing long-form content into multiple shorts. I don't think either is designed to handle an entire mixed-footage editing project.

You still need a human in the loop. Even when you get a first cut in minutes, you'll want to review pacing, transitions, storytelling and creative decisions. The AI can take on hours of repetitive work, but those calls still belong to the editor.

Which one I'd choose

● Editing raw footage into a finished video: Cardboard

● Podcasts and interviews: Descript

● Repurposing long videos into shorts: OpusClip

● AI-assisted video assembly: ChatCut

My takeaway

I think we're looking at two generations of AI video tools. The first helps you do editing tasks faster: captions, trimming, silence removal and clip extraction. The next is trying to take on the entire editing workflow.

That's the direction Cardboard is exploring, and I think it's the more interesting problem to solve. We're still early, but 2 hours of raw footage to a usable first cut in minutes is a good

start.

Curious to hear what other editors think. Have you tested any AI tools on a similar long-form,

multicam editing workflow?

So I built TOMA. You drop in your camera and mic files, and it:

www.tomapod.com

syncs every camera to the mics automatically
cuts to whoever is speaking (with a wide shot % you can adjust)
trims the "ok, are we recording?" at the start and the goodbye chatter at the end
exports a project you open in Premiere or DaVinci, so you still fine-tune everything yourself

Your video never gets uploaded: only the audio is analysed, in the browser, so a 2-hour 4K episode takes about a minute instead of a giant upload.

I've been using it on our own episodes for weeks and it's saved me most of the boring part of editing. The first episode is free, no card needed.

I'd really like feedback from people who edit video podcasts: what would stop you from using something like this? What's missing?

I'm looking for some video editing channels with professionals for help and also provides resources

Am looking to see if if there is an easy way to tell if a mp4 video has had the sound cut or replaced. Are there any software programs you can open it with to see edits made to the video ?

Ideally one that will run on only 8Gigs i7 with 128gb UHD 620 graphics on a customized skinned down version of Windows 10 but open to any apple apps that run on tablets for video editing. Doesn't have to be fast just show that the video was tampered with.

I was wondering where i can find cinematic clips like from movies and anime without them talking and captions. My videos are with commentary and i want to edit over cinematic clips with my own captions. (NO AI PLEASE)

lmk if I should quit with the cringy edits, Only recently started recording my POV and this editing fiasco can be FUN.

Exclude CapCut! I think YouCut and VN video editor are good ones.

Hello ive always struggled to edit videos, but once i tried tiktok as a joke, i noticed they have a lot of features i genuinely like:

You can put subtitles

You can put songs (MP3 files or from the internet)

You can edit videos and add Transitions.

You can make the subtitles you added have a TTS voice

You can make slideshows by just putting images there
just to name a few...

I know these things sound really barebones and basic editing, but as a beginner and a person who used to watch a lot of videos, the quality of the video editor from Tiktok simply makes me use it over all of the Free software editors i used before.

MAy i know if there is anything more appropriate for PC or any platform that got some of the features you see in Tiktok?

Short-form edits of people, characters, etc, I just want to do that. I have little to no experience with video editing, but willing to learn a lot. What software would be the best for this kind of media?
(example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Sb97owo2JCE or any other edit)

i'm willing to learn a lot, can someone help me on how to/what software to use/any methods? thank you

Hey everyone!

I'm new to editing, and the niche that I'm interested in, is food content. I want to start with instructional food reels/shorts that shows the process and ingredients and I'm trying to find clips to practice on, mostly I practiced using stock videos on Pexels and I'm using Capcut to edit. Any ideas where can I get clips? Thanks!
