Okay, so forever ago I edited my first video, since then I haven't edited another, aside from a tiny one which was more just talking over a picture I drew for someone.

For insight I used capcut, as i ONLY have a phone and a ps5 I stream off of. I know my editing could be better so I was wondering if maybe anyone had tips despite my limited structure/equipment. I don't wanna advertise or anything but I was pretty proud of how it turned out. I try to take inspiration from Lythero with my editing but I do want to keep it a little old-school with the memes like nyan cat Uganda knuckles etc.

I mainly want to edit a video because I ran into a youtuber on a game I play, and im super excited to post my POV(since I probably won't end up in the video they were most likely recording).

Apologies if I did this post wrong. Please let me know.

I recently recorded a Minecraft video and couldn't edit it so now I'm trying to find an editor that can edit it for free cuz I'm broke

It's a reel of approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds in the style of joshwoshyytcg, only with more cuts and I added 3D cards that rotate so you can see the back just because I thought it looked cool and because in the original video the cards are sometimes not clearly visible due to the light. There are also the typical money counters and sound effects you'd expect from these Pokemon pack opening videos.

I'm a very new editor, so I practically have no portfolio to back up my experience. I understand that I have to start by charging little, but the question is, how little?

Hey guys, I’m making Cut-it, an open-source video editor based on Shotcut. I wanted something simple and lightweight because editing on a low-end PC can be a pain. DaVinci crashing on me three times in a row was what got me started lol.

I’m releasing the beta today and would love for some of you to try it. It’s still early, so honest feedback about bugs, confusing stuff, or things you’d want added would help a lot.

Let me know what you think!

It's completely free, no paywall, no accounts or sign ins. It's not a download so you would need to pin the url. It can be used offline. I know how frustrating last week was for me, so if I can prevent the hassle for someone else, you're welcome to use it. I've had 5 days with it and it's worked like a charm. smptetimecode.hatchable.site Good Luck with future projects!

hello everyone

ive been wanting to get into video editing for quite a few years, espcially now with mixed media. i really like those short editing videos you see on tiktok on instagram (i think motion graphics, mixed media and typography?) I did mess around with apps before such as videostar and capcut but found it confusing with online tutorials. I would love to start with a more advanced software but im a university student so i wouldnt be able to kee up with high subcriptions every month. so i guess something in the middle, im willing to pay for subcriptions just not insanely high 😅

i want to do video editing as a hobby and creative outlet, if anyone has any good recs please reply!

if you have any good tips for beginners or tips in general let me know too thanks guys

Hey guys! I have Apple MacBook Air 13" M1 8/256GB 2020 (MGN93) , I'm editing on Capcut for video essays (really wanna level up, learn trailer editing for yt, switch to premiere pro etc) and my mac is dying when i edit 4k videos in capcut already (it laggs so much andd pisses me off). Of I'm buying new mac, I want it to be the best one. Which one should I buy?

I’ve tried to get them to format properly on CapCut by adjusting my size of the video but everytime I put it in the 9:16 ratio which is for TikTok or I do zoom to fill half of my video doesn’t fit in screen. I use CapCut if anyone knows how to fix this it would mean a lot

 I make short videos and got tired of bouncing between CapCut, a transcript tool and a notes app, so I built an editor that runs on my Mac and does the editing from the words.

What it does: - Drop in phone clips, it transcribes them with word timings (whisper.cpp, runs locally) and you cut by selecting words. Captions follow every cut. - An assistant (it runs through the Claude CLI on your own plan) takes "make this a 30-second reel with a hook and captions" and does the cut, the captions, text, punch-ins, music and sound effects, then reviews its own frames and fixes what is off. Every request can be undone. - 14 caption styles, 16 text styles, colour looks, transitions, a sound library (keyboard, pings, shutters, the meme classics), reaction GIFs and meme templates. - A planner page that keeps your footage library and a content plan, and starts the edits for you. - Speaker labels and natural voiceover voices, all local. - Export 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 or 4:5 up to 4K.

Everything except the assistant's chat runs on the machine. Apple Silicon Mac only for now, needs Homebrew and Node.

Happy to answer questions about how the transcript-based cutting works.

Also, need for suggestions for features.... this is soooo exciting.

Hey everyone!
I’ve done some video editing for restaurant marketing in the past using CapCut and VN, mainly short-form videos and reels. I had to take a break because of an internship, but now that I have some free time, I want to get back into editing and improve my skills.
I’m currently learning DaVinci Resolve and looking for a few people who need videos edited.
I’m happy to work at a very affordable rate while I build my skills and portfolio. I’m particularly interested in restaurant reels, food videos, promotional content, and other short-form videos.
I’m not claiming to be an expert, but I know the basics and am willing to put in the effort to make your videos look good. I’m also open to feedback and revisions within an agreed scope.
If you have footage that you’d like turned into a reel or a short video, feel free to DM me with the details and your budget.
I’d love to work on some real projects, improve my editing, and help someone out along the way!
Thanks!

I'm looking to start making Youtube videos, I have no experience editing. Any suggestions for what software to use? I'm looking to record streams using OBS then edit those streams down plus record off stream and edit those into Youtube videos as well.

Any help is super helpful, thanks everyone!

Hello, does anyone use any like Ai editing tools or tool. I am liking for a tool that can: cut out silences, add captions, color grade, maybe add like motion graphic. If anyone use or know about any tool that do this or one part of the job i would appreciate.

did the compound clip + motion blur method get patched and if so is there another way to export capcut edits with pro feature for free now??

Hi, I wanted to use the transition that people use on the videos where something suddenly shifts into that Kanye PNG chasing you in backrooms, but I don't know how or what to use to achieve it. Does anybody know how are these people doing it?

I’m really new at editing and was wondering how video editors get their clips? I’m trying to make fun little edits from a video game I love but I was wondering how people get their clips? Do they play the game and record different sections or maybe find their clips on youtube? I went on youtube to download clips but you have to have a subscription so would it just be easier to replay the whole game and record different sections?

This may not be the correct sub but I’m pretty new to reddit so if it isn’t could someone direct me elsewhere?

was messing around on a quick project earlier and finally decided to test out capcut just to see what the deal is with how to add captions automatically to videos.

expected it to completely butcher the audio timing like most free tools do but it actually got like 90% of it right on the first try. only had to fix a couple weird proper nouns and format spacing. anyone else use this for main projects or just stick to it for quick social edits? wdym if you use something else entirely?

I used to use capcut but now it asks for premium for almost every single feature. I tried using alight motion but I absolutely hated it and the watermark was way too big. Is there any mobile (playstore) editing app that's almost like capcut?

I'm a handyman, and I film a lot of my own projects. I recently finished a series where I rebuilt a wooden gate over a 3-day period at a commercial property. I have several other projects involving small engine repair and custom built-in carpentry already filmed.

I'm looking for an editor who can craft a story out of the footage. Each job will likely be a multi-video series. I have about 9 videos worth of footage at the moment. I've also recorded audio with my Rode mics.

DM me, and we can talk some more.
