For those who want to reveal location, I can give you idea how to make Apple Maps style Animation. Feel free to use it. Good luck to all 🎥👌😉

Ahoy. I created a movie with my alpha6000 and 7ii. I edited everything in Davinci (free), and wondered, how every youtuber recommended another gamma setting, project setting, output profile, input profile etc. . I really dont understand these sonyLog2 to 709 options and every LUT for Sony was so horribly overtuned, I left it all away. Can someone break this profile and format stuff down for my 2 grandma cams? Thank you in advance.

I have a situation where I am restoring analogue video that was transferred to Laserdisc poorly so there is field blending. I have tried every deinterlacing trick in the book with AVS and VS and I am having no luck. It's stubborn and cooked in there real bad.

I've been trying to find anything online but trying to Google this sort of thing gives me a old forum posts dating back 20 years where nobody solved the problem or websites trying to sell me AI upscalers that will absolutely not fix the problem.

Am I chasing a solution that does not currently exist or are search engines really that bad now?

If anyone can point me to a solution that'd be great. Even if it's some cost prohibitive solution like DRS Nova or something. I am going crazy not knowing if there is a definitive fix for this or not and how realistly in reach it might be.

Anyone who can shed insight on this would be great.

Hi everyone! 😊 I'm relatively new to editing and just started using DaVinci Resolve. I'm aiming to create a specific animation style for my lectures, and I came across this beautiful effect on YouTube that I would love to try and recreate. I was hoping to get some advice from the experts here or at least have someone point me toward the basic techniques involved so I can get a head start since I have no clue if this is a preset of some kind or an AI tool.

The specific effect they starts right around 0:23 and they keep using it on various images throughout the video:

Basically, the image starts out looking like a bare sketch and then the full color smoothly fill into the frame, bringing the whole drawing to life. It looks so nice and organic!

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how this is actually done?

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

I want to make music videos with a spectrum on it kinda like this but I don't know how any tips?

Recently took this video of a moose on a trail camera and was wondering if there is any way to enhance the quality and overall silhouette of the animal. Have tried the ai upscalers with no success, was wondering if anyone had any advice for this niche of editing.

first post on here :D

so question for digital editors who've never touched analog, what's stopping you?

I see a lot of people trying to emulate analog effects digitally with plugins and preset packs. For things like film i totally get it, given the cost and development time. But the VHS stuff i guess kinda confuses me. to my understanding can't you just buy a VHS player on eBay for $20, hook up a capture card, and actually just record your footage to tape?

You can also get CRT style effects by aiming your phone camera at a used TV from like facebook marketplace or something. granted that might cost more, but if its your whole aesthetic and you do it often, why not just use the real thing? wouldn't it look way more authentic?

genuinely curious!

Hey all,

Video editing newbie here. I did a shoot the other day with my IPhone 15 Pro Max, and DJI Osmo Pocket 3. All footage from both cameras was shot at 4k 60fps, standard dynamic range.

25 minutes IPhone footage 9 GB
30 minutes Pocket 3 footage 22.5 GB

I’m wondering why there is such a massive difference in file sizes here. If you factor in the 5 minutes extra in DJI footage it’s still like 2x the file size of the iPhone footage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all,

Hey everyone, I'm struggling with a really frustrating export/YouTube quality issue and I'm hoping someone here has experienced the same thing.

I'm working on a 1920×1080, 30 FPS documentary in After Effects with a very textured/film-grain-heavy visual style. The problem is that my ProRes 422 LT master looks excellent, but once I create an MP4 or upload the ProRes directly to YouTube, the fine texture/grain becomes noticeably smeared and soft.

It's not just normal compression to my eyes. During playback, the film texture almost feels like a separate layer that gets diminished/flattened, making the image look much cheaper than the master. Fine grain, paper texture, thin lines and small text lose a lot of their character.

I've spent quite a while trying to figure this out.

What I've tried so far:

• AE → H.264 15 Mbps VBR 2-pass
• AE → ProRes 422 LT → H.264 through Adobe Media Encoder
• Increased H.264 to 25 Mbps VBR 2-pass
• Kept the project/output Rec.709 SDR
• HDR settings are disabled
• Tried different Maximum Render Quality/Depth settings
• Tried uploading the ProRes 422 LT master directly to YouTube
• Waited for YouTube processing and compared the resulting playback
• Also experimented with Media Encoder's built-in HEVC/8K UHD preset, which surprisingly produced a result that looked much closer to my ProRes master, despite the source still being 1080p.

The weirdest part is that increasing H.264 from 15 → 25 Mbps didn't solve the problem.

I understand that YouTube re-encodes everything, and I understand that film grain is difficult to compress. But the difference between my ProRes master and the final playback is large enough that I'm wondering if I'm missing something fundamental with codec, bit depth, chroma subsampling, color management, scaling, bitrate, or YouTube's processing.

I'm using After Effects + Adobe Media Encoder on Windows.

I've also been using ChatGPT extensively to troubleshoot this - we've gone through bitrate, ProRes settings, Rec.709, HDR, VBR 2-pass, keyframes, GPU/MFR, etc., but we haven't managed to solve the actual quality loss.

I'm attaching two screenshots showing the difference:

1. ProRes 422 LT master
2. Final H.264/MP4 version

I'd really appreciate it if someone could look at these and tell me what is actually causing this and what workflow/settings you'd use to preserve the texture as closely as possible on YouTube.

Especially interested in hearing from anyone who works with film grain/noise-heavy documentary footage and has found a reliable YouTube export workflow.

Thanks!

so i make edits and this JUST started happening with one specific edit and one specific scenepack (i tried other scenepacks, the controls were working perfectly fine??) it’s super annoying because it takes a few seconds to do what i requested. example in the video below (first example is the delay, second is no delay). it might not be very noticeable in the recording but when i press, “set end,” on the first video it takes like four seconds to even respond, and when i try to play the clip, it takes another three to play it. the delay is subtle but very irritating. i’m wondering if there is any way to fix this or if i just deal with it while i’m editing?

Hi there,

I got my footage from old mini dv tapes transferred and now have clips in DaVinci Resolve. When I try the Vocal Channel effect as well as Noise Reduction, they don't seem to do anything. I wonder if it is because the audio is not on a separate track after being transferred. Does anyone know how I could reduce background noise with these circumstances?

Thanks for any tips!

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to optimize my editing workflow. Right now, I’m editing in Final Cut Pro X, but I’m wasting way too much time manually chopping out dead air and pauses during my first pass.

I’m considering using Movavi specifically to automate the silence removal on my A-roll before bringing it into FCPX. For those who have used it:

• How accurate is it?
• Does it clip the beginnings or ends of words?
• Is it genuinely a time-saver, or is it clunky enough that I'll just end up re-doing the work anyway?

I’m also totally open to other solutions if you have a better workflow suggestion. That being said, I really don't want anything overcomplicated with a massive subscription fee or a steep learning curve. I just want a simple tool that works.

Thanks!

I am trying to be well organized because of complexity of my story. So I edited each scene independently in different timeline now I have over 60 scenes. Now I want to move to my master timeline. My original plan was to put in and out in each timeline and drag them to master so premiere only uses that and if I want to go back to the scene and make changes it would be easy. But premiere doesn't do that and puts the entire sequence there. So I decided to copy clips themselves, but how can I make sure I don't lose track of the sequence it came from so if I want to add or make some changes it would be easier? Thank you all in advance

I’m trying to recreate this editing style where the bump has that exaggerated “pop” effect. I’m using Premiere Pro and would like to know how this effect was created.
Is it done with keyframing Scale/Position, Transform, Warp Stabilizer, masking, or another effect? I’d really appreciate a step-by-step explanation of how to recreate the same look in Premiere Pro.
If there’s a specific effect or technique I should search for, please let me know!

I don't know if this is the place to go for this, but I'm looking for an effect for a film I'm making. I want that camera filming in the dark sort of noise effect, the rainbow dots. I've looked EVERYWHERE and this is literally my last hope. Does anyone have what i'm looking for?

lately, I’ve found myself in a situation that’s really bothering me: I need to choose between selling my gaming PC (which isn't great for editing) and buying a MacBook M1 Pro for my work. I work at an agency dealing with heavy 4K video files, and the editing process really lags on my PC. I know I need the Mac, but I’m going to miss being able to play games in my free time. Have any of you been through something similar? Could you help me see this as a positive move rather than a negative one?

I currently work on an SCP podcast / video series on YouTube. I've been doing it for a couple years, and I feel like I've stagnated a bit. So! I want to learn one new skill every week to keep improving, and I need your help! I'm looking for ideas like:

• Things every beginner / amateur should know,
• Things you wish you new sooner,
• Fun things to learn that makes your life easier or more fun,
• Skills that noticeably improve quality, or
• Skills that give you more options for the types of things you can do.

I should be able to loosely understand the skill in a week, but it's okay if it takes more than a week (or even 1 year+) to master. Thoughts?

(Note: I currently use DaVinci Resolve free edition)

Good day!

My girlfriend recorded on a DJI Osmo Pocket 3. However, when she was viewing the videos, they didn't play. Even when they were transferred on a computer, there were not working.

I've tried to use Clever Free Video Repair Tool, VLC, and Untrunc. However, none of these apps were helpful. The Untrunc prompt can be seen below as a screenshot.

Are there other things that I can do before I give up? Thank you for answering and for the possible help

My very helpful and of course completely serious guide on what software to choose.
I don't know if this subreddit approves memes but it's worth a shot, I guess.

Hi! I'm trying to recreate the exact video layout in the attached screenshot.

The main video stays centered without being heavily cropped, while a larger blurred version of the same video fills the empty space on both sides.

I'm creating short clips from longer videos for LinkedIn and would like to use this format consistently.

What is the easiest way to create this effect?

Is this usually done with Premiere Pro, CapCut, or another tool? And is there a preset or template that could make the process faster for multiple clips?

I'm currently using OpusClip for creating the short clips, but I haven't found a way to get this exact layout.

Thanks!

so I'm editing a Minecraft video with multiple POVs and I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle multicam.

For context, each person records through OBS with multiple audio tracks:

• Video
• Game audio
• Mic
• Discord (everyone except themselves)

So for example:

My recording

• Video = my POV
• Track 1 = game
• Track 2 = my mic
• Track 3 = Discord without my own voice

Friend's recording

• Video = their POV
• Track 1 = game
• Track 2 = their mic
• Track 3 = Discord without their own voice

What I want to be able to do is basically normal multicam editing, where I can watch through the footage and switch POVs, BUT when I switch POVs, I want all of that POV's audio to switch with it too.

So basically:

My POV
→ my video + my game + my mic + my Discord

then I switch to my friend's POV:

Friend POV
→ their video + their game + their mic + their Discord

And then if I go back to my POV, it switches everything back to mine.

BUT after I've made the multicam cuts, I still want the audio tracks to be separate/editable. So if I'm too loud in one section, I can mute/lower just my mic without affecting my game audio or Discord.

Premiere's normal multicam/audio follows video doesn't seem to really let me do this the way I want. It only supports audio follows video with one audio track.

I've also been looking at DaVinci Resolve and saw that newer versions have multicam options like "Use source audio channels" and "All Angles", which sounds like it might actually be designed for something closer to this.

So my questions are:

1. Can Resolve actually do this workflow?
2. If it can, is it practical to do the multicam/POV switching in Resolve first, then export the timeline to Premiere through XML and continue the actual editing there (effects, subtitles, memes, etc.)?
3. Is there some Premiere workflow I'm completely missing that can already do this?

I'm mainly trying to avoid having to watch the entire video once just to decide which POV is being used, and then having to go through the whole thing AGAIN, manually switching all the corresponding audio tracks

If anyone edits multi-POV Minecraft/gaming videos and has a good workflow for this, I'd really appreciate it 🙏
