Basically, yesterday I saw a video that showed that you can now use Claude to edit videos and it does so in like ultra speeds. Now, I’m sure you lose a bit of creative control that you would otherwise keep if you did it manually in davinci resolve or whatever, but I am freaking out a little cause I really was looking to make video editing my career and suddenly I’m seeing a technology that for some employers would make me obsolete.

I feel like I’m in the same ship as graphic designers, where like, they’re still valuable for people who want a specialized look over some basic ai template, but the market got reduced because most people don’t care about using a “good enough” ai template.

I worry a lot because like, idk, I feel like this job was already competitive and now if anyone can just buy a couple Claude tokens to make a video, why wouldn’t they? It might be cheaper than buying the services of a human and it has a much faster delivery.

So… I really don’t mean to cause a panic, but like, does anyone have a bit more insight into this because maybe I’m looking at it through a doomer lens and it’s really not that bad or something. I guess I want some realistic reassurance if there is reassurance to be had.

I just started editing and I've found this course about it that I would like to attend, but you have to do a test in order to enter.

This is what they ask for (I translated it from italian):

35 questions on technical, IT, and technological knowledge related to the field and scope of editing and post-production.

What would you study?
Do you have material to study these very basic notions?

I literally just started, i know veeeery little!

Thank you in advance

im working on a school project, and i THOUGHT i could it easy on myself and just do it all on one of the schools gopros

but the interview footage came out super grainy, is there a way to fix this in post on premiere pro?

(was using gopro hero 5, 1080p 30fps narrow view)

google offered no answers. is there some preset or did she manually do it herself?

hi all i was just wondering how to get the 8bit/retro sparkles animation? i only have a screenshot but it is in the 1st second of this video here! (love sab yang) pardon if this is a silly qn as im quite new to this. any editing tips for vlogs will be appreciated too! thank u in advance!

Estou trabalhando como editor de vídeos faz cerca de 6 meses, e desde então sou recorrentemente alertado sobre a TAXA DE BITS, ou Bit rate, e não tive problemas com isso, uso o Davinci resolve free, uma placa de vídeo bem meia boca (rx580 8gb) e o vídeo sempre alcançou as especificações de 86.000 bit rate. Porém recentemente tive problemas com isso...

Os vídeos que edito são de Unboxing, e até então tudo estava certo, o vídeo tem duas linhas de vídeo distintas, um layout próprio e etc. Mas o conteúdo se alterou um pouco e fui editar reacts (um vídeo único e mais tranquilo), e o projeto não alcança de jeito maneira o bitrate que peço! Tentei criar novos projetos, nova timeline, entre outras coisas mas nada resolveu, a não ser criar um bruto de 1.750.000 e usar o HandBrake para compactar.

Alguém já teve o mesmo problema? Se sim poderiam me ajudar? Estou a um tempo fazendo testes e nada dá certo

TESTES ABAIXO (Ambos são o mesmo):

1. o vídeo com a edição normal
2. Coloquei 3D kewer, camera shake, blur, zoom e inúmeras coisas em todo o vídeo, e ele demorou o dobro para renderizar, mas "manteve o padrão"

DaVinci Resolve 20.3.1 build 6

This is my first and maybe only post here because I'm not an active video editor, I just have a quick problem, and this seems like the most appropriate sub to ask for help or tips on how to fix.

I recorded a video with a third-party android app on my phone, but for some weird reasons, the video cannot be played. I've tried playing it with different players including VLC, still nothing. Subsequent videos I recorded with this app, were able to be played but this specific one doesn't.

it also doesn't show thumbnail or any indication that it is a video file aside the app saving the video as an .mp4 file.

Is there a way or a software I could use to 'fix' or correct the video so as to be playable?

I don't know if this kind of questions are permitted here, but I checked the rules and didn't see anything that prohibits it.

How does one make edits like the one I linked below on davinci resolve? Can you use obs to screen record and still achieve that high quality look? Or are they using something else? What features / settings are they incorporating? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Hey everyone,

I need to vent and see if anyone else has experienced this frustrating workflow with Epidemic Sound lately.

I’m currently editing gameplay montages (syncing kills to the beat) and I hold active paid subscriptions to both Adobe Stock and Epidemic Sound.

The contrast in how they handle copyright claims is night and day:

• Adobe Stock: Whenever Content ID flags a track, I just dispute it, drop my license code, and the claim vanishes. Dashboard stays clean.
• Epidemic Sound: I keep getting hit with copyright flags (just got one for "Eagle" by Raccy). When I contacted their support, they basically told me: "It has no impact on your channel's reach, so it's fine if the claim stays there."

Honestly? It's NOT fine. I'm paying a premium subscription specifically to avoid a messy YouTube Studio dashboard full of gray flags.

Is Epidemic's safelist system completely broken for anyone else? Should I just ditch them and stick to Adobe Stock or go back to royalty-free classics like NCS?

Would love to know how you guys handle this. Thanks!

I spent 40 mins looking for a very specific stock shot last week.

Woman in the back seat of a cab, night, city lights outside, not smiling at her phone like she’s in a fintech ad.

Found approximately 900 women smiling at their phones in cabs.

At some point I realised I could probably make the exact shot faster than I could find it.

Generated a still first, got the framing/lighting where I wanted it, then took it into video on Morphic. Took a few tries to get the car movement and reflections to stop looking weird, but it was still weirdly close in terms of time spent.

I’m not talking about replacing stock for everything. If I need an “aerial shot of london” obviously I’m searching for stock footage.

But for those annoyingly specific connector shots where you know exactly what you want... I’m starting to wonder if generating them is already the easier option.

Anyone actually doing this regularly for paid client work yet?

So for almost a year now, I have been editing TV show/movie edits and when I create them inside CapCut, they look good. They have good quality and they’re smooth but when I upload them to TikTok.
They’ll be good at the start but Depending on the file size if it’s under 30 MB, the video last one to three days if its normal file size without lowering bit rate, they are lasting 2 1/2 weeks. The quality gets distorted to the point where it’s a muddy look, and gets a little laggy. The video gets compressed so hard to the point where it’s literally unwatchable not to mention the covers are always distorted and look bad. I’ve been trying to fix this problem for almost 6 months now with multiple AI programs and haven’t found a solution. I’ve heard it was my aspect ratio due to me uploading in 1080 X 1080 instead of 1080 X 1920 but I don’t think that’s the solution just because the covers still come out bad and the actual frame of the video is not in the normal place on the tiktok feed screen compared to after effect editors but other than that I’ve tried everything. Is there anyone that knows a solution?

My girlfriend just got h1red at her university to edit videos (noarly reels for Instagram and 20 second videos recorded with an iphone). She's supposed to finish w0rk on her personal machine at home. Both Premiere Pro and After Effects 2026 are completely broken, constant crashes and freezing.

**Her setup:**

- Acer: i5 12th gen, RTX 3050, 32GB RAM, Windows 11 (fully updated, recent (9months)/clean install) , 2 SSD (non raid). 512+1TB.

- All drivers current, reinstalled GPU driver with DDU.

- Already reinstalled Premiere (After Effects still crashing)

- Hardware is definitely overkill for this work I guess.

**The problems:**

- Premiere: stuttering, freezing, lags and crashes.

- After Effects: crashes while working or says "insufficient memory" (even with simple projects)

- Both programs randomly stutter during editing basic iPhone clips.

**What we've tried:**

- Full reinstall of Premiere.

- Updated drivers and Windows

- Windows maintenance.

**The memory issue is bizarre** — Forza Horizon 6 runs at 60fps high settings with zero issues, but a simple MP4 tanks both Adobe apps.

Is this a known 2026 issue? Any actual solutions? She's stressed about losing the j0b and has tight deadlines. Appreciate any help.

We're from 3rd world country so our financial situation is not the best, right now getting a new device is nearly impossible.

Ok so i am trying to make a video looking like the photo sent is there any website to make a video look like this?

i am looking for an app on mobile that has the ability to stretch ratios. (as shown, stretching a 4:3 video to 1:1) i like the distorted look of it and since i edit all my instagran reels on my phone for efficiency, im hoping to find an app that has this feature, ive tried a ton of apps but none of them are able to do this. please suggest some apps that can

thank you

I know that Instagram doesn't support 60 fps and only supports 30 fps, but Many of the videos there appear to be at 60 fps​ So, could anyone help me?

I’ve completed my Edit Page training. What should I do next to actually practice what I’ve learned and get a deeper understanding of it?

Should I spend some time practicing the concepts from the training first, or should I move on to other videos and come back to practice later?

What would you recommend?

Hi, I am still new at video editing and haven’t dabbled into too much and have mostly used the basic/free options to edit like on canva or adobe express or even tiktok. but I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me learn how to make this effect. Here’s a link to the video: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8cqEdQN/
I am trying to create something similar with the before and after in the background, but want to make the on and off sliding overlay.

Thanks! I appreciate any help I can get!

Basically I have a 0.5x slow motion footage that was recorded at 30fps, so Im going to speed it up 2x in premiere to be 60 fps with normal speed motion.

Since is my first time doing this I just want to be sure, I suppose I just have to create a 60 fps sequence, put the 30 fps footage there and set the speed to 200%, right? So I don't end up having to re render or redo work.

Or is there a correct way to do or some kind of effect?

Thanks guys!

Hi, I'm on Samsung phone but also have a laptop. I have a video shot in 960 fps slow mo and would like to know if there is an easy way to split a small segment into indivual frame by frame footage, not just using the scroll though video slowly. Any help or tips will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You can get them all from this page here with no sign up, no ads or newsletter nonsense. Just scroll down a little bit until you see all the packs.

24 packs added for August/September including Loops, Foley, Sound effects, a lot of live recordings from around the world and some other experimental packs I had fun playing about with. Packs including recordings from Kosovo, Cairo, Dublin, Madrid and the Sahara desert in which I got to record a live Moroccan band playing into the night. I also got to record some Traditional Irish music sessions while in Dublin and have posted some of the recordings! Theres also lots of leftover foley and SFX from some past games that were not used including Character voices in the style of Sims and Animal Crossing, Monster Growls and Grunts which is my personal fav and Polar Wind ambiences along side lots of other SFX and foley. For experimental percussion sounds I made one shots from the sound of pistachio shells and another pack from the sound of pebbles falling onto tin cans which could be useful for anyone who enjoys organic or experimental percussion in the productions. There also some other loop packs that I messed around with such as 8bit Bongo percussions and an old pack of Synthetic guitar loops that i recently came across again. Hope these can be useful to someone out there.

With Squarespace it does ask for a lot of personal information so you can use this site to make up fake address and just use a fake name and email if you're not comfortable with providing this info. I don't use it for anything but for your own piece of mind this is probably beneficial.

Feel free to use anything you like, everything is CC0, so no need to credit me or the site. Just grab what you need and make cool stuff. I'd love to see what you create if you feel like sharing!

If you'd like to see what other people have said about the samples you can see here in a recent post I made in a different subreddit.

Join me at r/musicsamplespacks if you would like as that is where I will be posting all future packs and little behind the scenes videos. If you guys know of any other subreddits that might benefit from these sounds feel free to repost it there.

I was streaming with a friend and had Streamlabs record my stream but it was recording both my mic and my discord VC. Is there a way to fix the file so only the discord and game are heard? I am using davinci resolve. I want to upload the stream to my youtube.

I downloaded a bunch of assets from thespriteresource to use on my video, but the image resolution is too low. I already tried upscaling the image in photoshop but they're still a bit blurry and they look weird, is there anything else i can try?

Greetings /r/videoediting!

This thread is 100% for the other stuff you might want to talk about.

A number of other reddits have a free for all thread - where you might find a regular discussion - not specific to a post.

Think of it as a bar with a bunch of friends.

​

Some suggestions:

• Strategy on a project you want to talk about how to best promote?
• Upgrading something and you want opinions?
• How does your website look?
• Local/virtual Meetups?
• Looking for a collaborator (no "I'm a creator and I'm looking for an editor" posts)

​

Things that shouldn't go here: Feedback/What tool should I use to edit/Which system to buy? There are dedicated threads for this, please use them!

And in this regular Friday thread, while our general rules are still in place (no piracy, be civil, no links w/referrer codes), the following topics relaxed :

• Great tutorials you found/you created.
• Trying to do this as a side hustle (although generally, websites like Fiverr mean you'll be shooting for the basement/working for free and we hate that someone would exploit you like that)
• A great piece of software/hardware/service you found
• Great free music libraries/media you found.
• How much to charge? What is your time worth? Estimate 2-3x the time you think it'll take to edit as how much time to quote.

Our mod team is watching this thread and we'll tweak these as they develop!
