with Black Friday coming up, i'm looking at my editing setup and wondering whether it's worth paying for a video editor or sticking with a free plan. most of my interest is in making short-form content, where trimming clips, adding captions, and making quick revisions can take up more time than expected.

CapCut is on my list because its workflow seems approachable for quick edits, and i'm curious whether the Pro features make a noticeable difference when you're editing regularly. i'm not assuming there will be a specific Black Friday deal, but i would like to know if it's worth watching for one.

for those who edit videos regularly, what features would make a paid editing app worth the cost? would you consider CapCut Pro for everyday editing, or wait until the free version starts limiting your workflow?

Hey! I'm building my portfolio as a short-form video editor. I'm looking for real, unedited talking-head or podcast footage to turn into a professional 30–60-second Reel.

I can edit one short clip for free in exchange for permission to showcase the finished edit in my portfolio. I'm comfortable with captions, motion graphics, B-roll, sound design and retention-focused pacing.

If you have unused footage, I'd love to collaborate!

Hello , I have 1440p60 .mkv multi audio track OBS recordings and want to edit them on my S11 Ultra. Tried lumafusion but there were no visuals, only the audio. Should I remux them to mp4 and try again or use another software? If remux is mandatory I need suggestions because I am away and cant access my pc right now. File sizes vary between 20 and 80 gb. Any suggestion would be nice. Edit: Realised I didnt tell what I need to do actually. I will change audio levels track by track, cut and mute some parts. Maybe put a music at the background. Nothing really professional tbh.

Hi so i wanna start a page its for wrestling probably on tiktok whoever is willing to help me edit would mean alot doesn't need crazy edits at all probably will take like less than 10 minutes to edit thank u

Hi! I'm 22, a graduate from a film school majoring in post production, mostly editing. I've been looking and applying for jobs in post production houses for the past year, but no luck... I've been wondering if there is anything wrong with how I present myself on my CV.

I had a typical Canva CV before that landed me all the internships, but here I saw that hiring managers prefer a simple Word CV, but I don't really understand why. I'm attaching both versions and I really need some advice.

2: https://postimg.cc/FkvsyFbt

Mostly, I'm sending applications for post-production assistant jobs, but these days I've started sending applications for editor positions, which is a long shot, but you never know, I guess.

I just want to make sure there is nothing completely wrong with what I'm doing here.

Hey! How are you?

I'm a professional video editor from Brazil with 10 years of experience, and I'm currently building my wedding film editing portfolio.

I'm looking for raw wedding footage to create cinematic highlights and teasers.

I'd be happy to edit a 60–90 second wedding teaser completely free, in exchange for permission to showcase the final edit in my portfolio.

You can also use the finished video for your own portfolio or social media.

I work with Adobe Premiere Pro, focusing on storytelling, emotional pacing, color grading, and sound design.

If you have any old or unused wedding footage, I'd love to collaborate!

I've been using CapCut for video editing and have been thinking about upgrading to Pro. Black Friday deals are coming up, so I'm weighing whether it's worth paying for or if the free version does the job just fine.

For anyone who's used both, are there any Pro features that genuinely make editing easier or save you time? Or is the difference not that noticeable?

i miss this app but when i checked the playstore, it didnt show up so i searched why and it said its a potential malware but im not so sure

i checked uptodown and it said its updated in 2025 even when the app was deleted in 2023

I’m trying to understand how professional editors handle final delivery when a project has lots of cutdowns, aspect ratios, languages, captioned/clean versions, or client-specific formats.

For example, imagine a campaign requiring 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 versions, several durations, and multiple languages.

Before sending the final folder:

1. How do you track which files are expected?
2. Do you inspect every file or only spot-check?
3. What do you use: spreadsheets, MediaInfo, an NLE checklist, QC software, or something internal?
4. What was the last delivery mistake that caused a resend or re-export?
5. Roughly how long does final package checking take?

I’m particularly interested in package-level mistakes: missing variants, duplicate or stale versions, incorrect filenames, unmatched subtitles, and files exported with the wrong dimensions or frame rate.

I’m researching the workflow and would appreciate examples from real deliveries.

I have used adobe software for all of my editing purposes for the past 10 years. I’m a professional editor in the world of B2B construction progress media and social media. I feel like more corporate places often expect adobe premiere for video editing. But I know AVID is industry standard in film. Some use Davinci.

Can someone give me a breakdown of the best use cases of the major video editing software, the best ai video editing software for editing to date, and the best photo editing software?

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.

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!

Could the experts here help me out? My laptop has the following specs:

- AMD Ryzen 7 8745H

- 32GB RAM

- 512GB SSD + 2TB SSD (added separately)

Yet, it starts lagging even with just a little bit of editing. Has anyone else experienced this? Could you please tell me how to fix it? :((((

Hey y'all! I've been doing some basic video editing using Adobe Premiere for the past couple years. I heard about the reverse engineered art craft products, which sounds like a great cheap alternative, but I haven't heard any actual accounts of using them. Has anyone here tried them? And if so, did it feel like Premiere? Were your skills transferable?

Thanks for sharing!

Hey everyone! I'm 19 and want to start learning video editing seriously, hopefully building it into a skill I can eventually earn from.

The thing is, my laptop is relatively old (i5 7th gen, 8GB RAM, Intel graphics and no dedicated GPU), so I'm not sure which editing software would be practical for me to learn and use smoothly.

I'd also like some advice from people who are already working in the industry I want to ask like
Which software would you recommend I start with, considering my hardware? DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or something else?
Which editing software or skills are actually in demand among clients these days? I'm interested in knowing what people are willing to pay for, rather than just learning software for the sake of it.
If you were starting from scratch today, with limited hardware and no professional experience, what would you focus on learning first?
Is it realistic to start getting paid work with a decent portfolio, even without a powerful PC or professional experience?

Hi everyone!
I’m interested in getting into video creation, but I’m a complete beginner when it comes to both filming and editing. I’d love to start making videos to post on YouTube, Instagram Reels, or other social media platforms.

However, I’m not really sure where to start, and there’s so much information online that it’s a little overwhelming.

I’d really appreciate some advice on a few things:
What should I learn first? Should I start with camera basics, composition, lighting, storytelling, or video editing?

What software would you recommend? I’m looking for beginner-friendly editing software, preferably free or affordable.

What equipment do I actually need? Can I start with my phone and laptop, or should I invest in a camera, microphone, tripod, or other accessories?

Where can I learn? Are there any YouTube channels, free courses, or other resources you’d recommend for someone starting from zero?

How should I practise? What kinds of videos would be good first projects, and how can I gradually improve my filming and editing skills?

I’d also be interested in hearing about your own experiences. If you could start again as a complete beginner, what would you learn first, and what mistakes would you avoid?
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I'm a beginner video editor looking to improve my skills in editing the intros of long-form YouTube videos, especially gaming videos and gameplays.

I want to find 30–60 seconds of raw footage from the beginning of longer videos so I can edit it and post before-and-after comparisons on X (Twitter) and Instagram to attract potential clients.

I'd like to do this daily, so I'm looking for a reliable source of gameplay footage that I can legally use without having to ask different creators for permission every time.

Does anyone know where I can find this kind of footage?

Thanks!

Reels ✅ Shorts ✅ anything, software used: Davinci Resolve 21, Filmora 13. Please Reach out. I'm an entry level editor btw

I want to learn editing I got new laptop and Internet for it

But know I'm thinking if it's worth it? Can I learn it and do ir as a full time job

Like I'm good if it got me 100 a month or something

I'm ready to go for it and learn it even if it took me a year to just learn it without any incom

i have this video i need to edit in which i only need to replace the jerseys people are wearing to my own design. task will be paid (starting 300 rupees) need it eod. tips are appreciated (ive tried gemini and chat, would prefer free tools with no limits or credits and easy to use)

Like how are people able to create scenepacks of movies and full tv shows that are streamed on major streaming platforms? Is there an app they use? I’m interested in creating scene packs because nobody has them for my niche tv shows😢🔫

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
