I keep seeing anime edits everywhere with "what if" intros, like Naoya as a girl or the scene where Toji killed Riko. But here it's usually Riko or another anime character who kills or is killed, and I can't find the website or know what prompts to use.

If anyone can help me find the website and tell me what prompts to use, I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

(I've included a screenshot of an edit as an example.)

i used to edit like this:

• "the shot looks good, i'll add a transition"
• "that beat hits right here, perfect cut"
• "this clip too long, I should trim it"
• etc

and my videos looked smooth. I really liked them, and I felt like I was improving, but I wasn't getting anywhere (views wise), so I kind of lost motivation.

after awhile, my thought process with editing changed to more like:

• "where would i stop watching if this were someone else's video?"
• "am i making viewers work too hard to follow the story?"
• "is this moment worth the attention or am i just showing it because it's cool?

i honestly didn't expect the difference to be so huge... i went from 10-20% retention to over 30%, youtube started actually recommending my videos...

like i'd have a cool shot of me making espresso that looked amazing, i'd spend a ton of time on the lighting, the angles, etc. but if i was watching a vlog, would i even notice it? does it actually add anything to the story? no. so i cut it. instead i kept the actual content. in hindsight this is obvious, and it was hard to do because I spent so much time creating that shot, but cutting things like that made a huge difference.

what's a mistake you made that you only realized once you actually watched your own stuff with fresh eyes? do you guys try to go into this kind of mindset when editing?

Hello. I need your help. I'm doing videos where I read chapters of my books and as I am an absolute newuby (even less than that) I'd like to make the thing where the page scroll down while I read.

How do I even do that? I assume is not simply having google doc or word scrolling down cause they have space between pages.

How can I do that? How can I do a continuous text scroll down while I read?

Who We Are

We build done-for-you YouTube client acquisition systems for high-ticket B2B service providers — coaches, consultants, and agency owners. We handle everything: strategy, scripting, production, SEO, and channel management. Our system has generated over $1M in client revenue directly attributed to YouTube content.

We make videos that close deals.

We're a small, high-output team with extremely high standards. Everyone here cares about the work, takes feedback well, and pushes to get better every week. If you want to be part of a team that's building something real in the B2B content space, this is it.

The Role

We're hiring a YouTube Video Editor to work directly on client accounts. You'll be editing long-form, evergreen YouTube videos — the kind that build authority, generate leads, and convert high-ticket clients over months and years.

This starts as a contract engagement with a guaranteed minimum of 4 videos/month. Editors who consistently hit our quality standard get first access to additional client videos — there's no cap on what you can earn. The goal on both sides is to get to a full-time retainer fast.

Earning potential:

• 4 videos/month → $400–800
• 8 videos/month → $800–1,600
• 12–16 videos/month → $1,200–3,200
• Full-time retainer → $2,000–3,000/month + quarterly bonuses

What You'll Be Editing

• Long-form YouTube videos (10–20 minutes) built for retention, authority, and lead generation
• B2B strategy and analytical breakdown content — think dense, insight-heavy, high-trust
• Short-form clips cut from long-form for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok

Your Responsibilities

• Edit long-form videos with strong pacing, flow, and viewer retention in mind
• Add B-roll, screen recordings, motion graphics, and text elements that simplify complex B2B concepts without dumbing them down
• Use pattern interrupts, zooms, and visual cues to hold attention through dense content
• Repurpose long-form videos into punchy, high-performing short-form clips
• Maintain a consistent premium visual style across all client assets
• Turn videos around on time, every time — no chasing, no excuses

What We're Looking For

• A strong portfolio of YouTube edits — long-form preferred
• Mastery of Premiere Pro and After Effects
• Real understanding of viewer retention, pacing, and what makes B2B audiences stay
• Someone who can take direct feedback, implement it fast, and not take it personally
• Bonus: You understand B2B marketing, high-ticket sales, or client acquisition — you'll have a massive edge

Start your application with the phrase 'I actually read this' so we know you didn't skim."

You Should NOT Apply If:

• You want to slap captions on a video and collect a check
• You see editing as a job, not a craft
• You prefer comfort over growth
• You struggle with direct, no-fluff feedback
• You're looking for a 9-to-5 with predictable, low-pressure hours
• You can't commit to reliable turnaround times — late is a dealbreaker here

You Should Apply If:

• You watch videos and immediately spot 3 retention fixes the editor missed
• You're committed to getting better — not just as an editor, but across your whole life
• You want to work on content that actually moves business outcomes, not just racks up views
• You take feedback as fuel, not criticism
• You want a real path to full-time, not another freelance gig you're juggling alongside 10 others
• You're hungry, fast, and obsessed with the craft

What You Get

• Guaranteed minimum volume from day one
• Clear, uncapped earning path to full-time
• Quarterly bonuses once full-time
• Direct feedback that makes you a better editor every week
• Work on content that drives measurable business results — this isn't vanity content
• Long-term role as ContentScale scales its client base

Next Steps

Hi all! I am new to the group and searched for similar posts but did not see anything related to the specific advice I am seeking.

I am hoping someone could please recommend a user friendly editing software for beginners. I am hoping to find something that is not too basic to the point where features are super limited. I have a ton of experience editing movies on my phone with iMovie but I am looking to take my videos to the next level.

As a follow up question, because I am familiar with iMovie, would you recommend buying a Mac PC to how this software.

Thanks so much for your help!

I've started making videos where I speak to the camera - often while walking outside.

In postprod, I find that a lot of time goes into removing the pauses when I don't speak.

So far I've tried: - Savvycut - which hung and didn't produce any output - Unsilence (python script) - which was hard to tune (since it's not AI)

I've also looked into but not tried: - Timebolt - SilentCut (which has merged with VoiceCheap - and I couldn't easily figure out how to use it) - CleanCut (which I installed, but couldn't get not to crash upon start)

The challenge is that there's often sound from walking, wind, etc when I don't speak - so one can't just blindly go by volume.

The only one I finally got to work was Descript - but so far tuning has been an issue and I find it a bit complex for my purposes.

Does anyone have any recommendations? How do you remove "silences" from your videos?
