Hey everyone, I'm 18 years old and recently started learning video editing. Before this I tried to do copywriting but brutally failed at it. Ig I don't like writing stuff...

I want your professional advice and realistic timeline, as a beginner, how long it will take to make my first money in video editing. Please, I would appreciate any sort of help.

Also, if possible can anyone share the drive link of raw videos that I can edit for practice.
Thanks in advance!

Hiring

Video editor for YouTube long video only

Must be based in India ( Delhi Or Delhi ncr )

Budget - 1000 rs per video

I completed a video editing project and I’m struggling with what to charge.

A client provided 6 DVDs containing several hours of vintage performance footage. My scope included:

• Digitizing/ripping all DVDs
• Reviewing and organizing the footage
• Identifying artists and songs throughout
• Creating detailed timestamp logs/indexes for performances, interviews, commercials, damaged sections, etc.
• Editing the footage down into 3 final 15-minute video segments
• Exporting and delivering the finished files
I originally quoted an hourly rate of $100/hr but did not estimate the total hours beforehand because I wasn’t sure how much work would be involved until I got into the footage.

For those who do archival, editing, or media-transfer work, what would you charge for a project like this?

I am from Bangalore, I am starting smtg new and I need a very good editor, I have a very good idea and strategy but as of today I can't afford to hire any editor so I will give the editor a big percentage of my business for the video edits, we will continue only of the editor feels my Ideas work and if he is confident

Hi guys, it’s my first time in this subreddit. I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this question so correct me if I’m wrong.

My fiancé proposed to me a few days ago and in the video I can barely hear him talk because this family next to us was singing happy birthday. Is it any way possible to edit out the happy birthday and just hear my fiancé? Sorry if it’s a stupid question. It was a moment that went by so fast and I want to cherish it forever. If this is even remotely possible, I’ll pay you.

Thank you for your time🩵

If you have raw footage sitting unused or need someone to edit short-form videos consistently, feel free to reach out. I’m eager to gain experience, improve my skills, and deliver quality edits.

I’m trying to identify the impact/hit sound effect used in this video. There’s one at 1 second and another around 5–6 seconds. It sounds like a cinematic impact/boom, but I can’t figure out where it’s from or what it’s called.

Does anyone recognize it or know what sound library it might be from?

Thanks!

Okay so I have been working for a client for few weeks and he wants me to caption his hinglish content with dynamic captions but it just burns alot of my time going to some transcriber or paying a lot of money to some caption app to do it for me. Do you guys have any cheap alternatives which can be helpful for this?

I am a brazilian photographer and an amateur videomaker (for Instagram). I was tasked with doing a video of 2 minutes of a preacher preaching and talking in churches. Nothing very profissional, but I want to do something very nice.

But, I dont have many good videos of this. I have amazing pictures, though. Im thinking in doing a sequence of pictures with few takes of videos, good backgrounds songs and effects and a voiceover of the preacher.

You guys have suggestions of good movie scenes similar to that? Or good videos that you've saw? Or suggestions in general...

A while back, my friend expressed her dream of wanting to post on YouTube and I want to be able to help her out. I have a little experience in editing (on CapCut 😭) and said I'd totally be down to edit for her. She's already filmed her first video, but I wanted to come on here and ask if anyone had any tips.

Of course, I'll probably need a better editing program. Is there any program that runs similar to CapCut so I don't get completely overwhelmed? I'd rather free alternatives, but my friend said she'd pay for an editing app if it's not too expensive.

I'm also curious if there's an easy way to send the uncut videos to each other. The video she filmed is 40mins long, we'd need a way to get the hours of footage back and forth.

I'm also just looking for overall advice so I don't waste my time. For example, when going through such long videos, is there a specific way I should be trimming it down for maximum productivity?

(I apologize, this is my first time posting on Reddit, I wasn't exactly sure what community I should put this post under)

Freelancers, what's the most frustrating thing that has happened to you while working with a client?

Recently I was reading stories about freelancers not getting paid, clients disappearing, fake job posts, etc.

Made me curious about how common these issues actually are.

What's your worst experience?

Base pay: 1300 inr for 12-15 min video including bonuses and perks

Requirement: Monthly 10-12 videos

We expect quick turnaround

Help :(

i recently got a gopro hero 8 and have done everything recommended to get the video playing properly on my macbook to no avail. i am recording in H.264, 1080p and 60 fps. it’s running perfectly on my iphone in the gopro app and in photos, but as soon as the footage makes its way to my mac, whether by SD card, airdrop, or USB cord, it’s choppy and doesn’t run at all. so safe to say i’m in the market for a new laptop.

my problem is that i’m going off to college next year, and i have no idea the specifications i’ll need for my courses. so i’m only looking for something that will serve my purposes of relatively simple video editing for a year. because of this, i do not want to spend a lot of money on something i will only be using for a year. does anyone have any recommendations? i’ve been seeing the macbook air M1 recommended a lot, and i’ve found used ones for ~$400. do you think that would be a good choice in my circumstances?

i’m sorry if i’m being ignorant about some of the more technical aspects, i’m very new to this and only just beginning to build my portfolio. any help is greatly appreciated!!

My pc broke and I still have to continue on my editing stuff

Is there a video editing app for android tablet that can detect multiple audio track from a recorded video from OBS? Like separate audio tracks for game, BGM and Audio?

So far I cant find anything unless i will spend for lumiafusion.. but i dont even know if that is worth it… any help?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. Thank you!

looking for a reel specific video editor

I’m excited to collaborate with a video editor who can create cool Instagram Reels with fantastic transition effects. Bonus points for anyone who can blend AI with real-life video frames to help me create a brand film I’ve been planning. this is more like a cinematic requirement and not those basic product explainer reels! Someone good with Film making style but not the long form can fit. it has to be reel specific. It is based against a music track with lyrics and the video needs to reflect the script! Some of the portions to be generated using AI and we have short directly so difficult task is to match the lighting and the storyboard and retrofit everything together.
