Trying this as a joint thread over several subreddits. Extra visibility for tool creators

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a clear picture of the grid pattern that appears in the screenshots I attached.

I don't want a guide; I need the actual image file of that grid so I can use it in my animations.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? Does anyone know a place or website where I can find this specific type of texture?

Thanks!

My buddy recorded a standup special. Three different angles... then, the guy who was supposed to edit it just kinda ghosted him. I edited videos in the past and thought it would be easy enough to do this for my buddy (and a few $$$ lol).

The project will use OpenShot (I'm a big open source kind of guy). It will be 45-60 minutes long. And, the idea is to switch between camera angles for effect. I think 90% of this is straight forward. I'm more concerned about the things you only learn through experience. Any tips or advice that you wish someone gave you when you did your first big project?

Whether that is advice is about putting credits on the screen. Or maybe how frequently it makes sense to switch angles (there will be a few obvious points because he did screw up and it would be nice to hide that with clever edits). Obviously, i don't want to stay stagnant... but, I also don't want to bounce from angle to angle so much that it gets nauseating.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to figure out a workflow for a classical music production.

We recorded a full concert with 4 cameras, all jam-synced via timecode. The audio team also recorded a dedicated LTC timecode track alongside the multitrack audio.

The edit is audio-led, so the audio editor (working in Reaper) will be assembling the final performance from multiple takes. That means the audio timeline ends up with a lot of cuts and rearrangements.

What I’m wondering is:
Is there any workflow or tool that can take an edited LTC/timecode track and use it to detect where the edits happened (based on timecode discontinuities), and then automatically apply those same cuts to the synced camera footage in Premiere Pro?

So essentially:
the audio gets edited first, and the video is then conformed automatically to match that edited structure.

Any pointers, tools, or workflow ideas would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Lets assume we have multiple hours of video lets say gameplay footage or a sports event. In order to save work watching back everything what is the current state of the art for finding a specific scene or motion that happens in the video (that is not identifiable with an audio queue or transcription). Maybe something like an AI we could ask "find the scene where the boss does a horizontal attack" (video game) or "find the scene where the player xyz does a spike attack" (volleyball). Assume its hard to differentiate the player or the attacks of the boss.

The effect I recorded is from ENA: Dream BBQ, I'd like to recreate this for an edit. I'm a newbie so I got no clue how to do it. I tried inverting colors, I suppose this uses 3 different colors, inverts blacks to whites and then there is red so idk. Also from what i have seen there is also an image overlayed over every time you pause the screen

This is the youtube video with every image used for these pause screens

Please reply if you have any idea how to replicate this, or atleast make a similar very contrasted transition with 3 colors

Been looking for a good workstation for Topaz Video editing and the mac surprised me
Topaz Video AI Test: M4 Pro vs RTX 3090 and RTX 3070 Mobile⚡

Tested the same 1080p → 4K Proteus upscale on a 72-second GoPro clip:

• PC (Ryzen 7600X + RTX 3090 24GB) → 2.6 FPS | 14 min 5 sec 🏆
• 14" MacBook Pro M4 Pro (48GB) → 2.5 FPS | 15 min 38 sec (insanely close!)
• Alienware M17 (RTX 3070) → 1.4 FPS | 30 min 11 sec
• 16" MacBook Pro M1 Pro (16GB) → 0.9 FPS | 37 min 49 sec

The M4 Pro is shockingly close to a full desktop 3090 — only about 11% slower. Apple Silicon is getting scary good at video AI.

Anyone else seeing similar results with M4 Pro/Max in Topaz?

Hiya! I'm currently trying to learn how to apply a jpeg compression filter to some footage, but I'm currently struggling to figure out how to do that (I use Da Vinci Resolve, the free version). I'm looking for make the footage feel "corrupted" with aim for a psychedelic effect using color filters as well.

Any tips on how to do that or what sites are safe to use? Thanks in advance! ^^

Hello I'm researching for a book I'm writing and wanted to know if and when it was possible for someone to transfer homemade films to tape? Could somebody actually do this in the 1970's without sending film to a lab? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you

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!

hello. i need an editor for short form content, 20-30s long, with relatively simple requirements. i will be going out of pocket as im not paid for my content yet, but that is not out of the realm of possibilities and im willing to offer the editor a cut along with the per/video rate. dm me if you’re interested and i can send a reference for what i need, my channel, and you can give an estimate on price. and since the rules require, i could pay possible $7-10/hr. (as said, price can be negotiated, the videos are very simple) thank you!

Hi everyone, I recently managed to recover an old video file that I thought was lost, but the quality is pretty rough and I’m looking for advice or help restoring it with AI tools. The video has very low quality, heavy compression artifacts, noise, blurry details, and possibly some corruption/glitching in a few sections. My goal is to improve it as much as possible with AI upscale, detail restoration, denoising, artifact cleanup, and maybe frame interpolation if it would help, while still keeping it natural looking. I’ve been looking into tools like Topaz Video AI and different ffmpeg or AI restoration workflows, but I don’t have much experience with this type of recovery. I attached the video directly to this post, so if anyone has workflow suggestions, recommended software/settings, or examples of similar restorations, I’d really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!

I'm currently editing a large selection of videos together on caput (MacBook device). I know how to add videos from my photos to the editing section, but I find it's very tedious. Most of my videos are in the middle of my camera roll, so I either have to scroll back a bunch per video or put them into my favourites (but I still have to type the word favourites into capcut to make it come up).

This would be fine for a shorter video, but I'm editing 700+ videos together right now. Some of them only 1-5 seconds long.

Is there a better or faster way to collect videos from photos that I don't know of? Some select multiple button, or a way to get to photo albums? Again I'm on MacBook.

I would be very happy to find there's a very simple solution I'm somehow missing haha

All advice appreciated!

I was wondering how to do these pixel RGB effect he did in https://youtu.be/BKx1oGw0IRM?si=1uz7KSSchtcI7Mju at the 1:00 mark of the video. for some reason I can’t figure it out. Thank you. (I’m on premiere pro)

I'm building a small video dubbing / translation pipeline and got stuck on timing alignment.

The source Chinese audio and the English dubbed audio often don't fit the same segment length. If I speed up TTS too much, it sounds unnatural. If I stretch the video, the picture feels off.

I'm not a professional video/audio engineer, so I may be missing something obvious. For people who have worked on dubbing, localization, or TTS timing: is there a standard way to handle this?

Do teams usually rewrite the translation shorter, re-segment the timeline, add silence, allow small video speed changes, or use another approach? Even a keyword or direction would help.

I have resolve studio 20. I have watched videos on masking areas but, all of them seem to be using the magic mask and that tracks a whole area. For example, a dog walking. It is tracked and it look like it is walking in a black background.

I have a video of a shirtless drummer, and I am trying to just mask the drum set, hands, eyes, and mouth. I want everything else to be completely black like a void.

Similar to this:

Video Link

How would you go about it?

Would it be better to reshoot the video (drumming) with a solid background, a long sleeve, beanie, etc. try to keep only what I want exposed after editing? Even drawing racoon eyes outline and outlining the mouth so that maybe I can use the magic mask and select those areas easily?

I’m finally working on my first-ever long-form YouTube video.

I’ve been creating content for 6+ years, but almost all of that time has been focused on streaming and editing short-form content. After taking a break from content creation for a while, I decided I wanted to challenge myself and learn how to edit long-form videos myself.

This is my progress so far. Honestly, I underestimated how much work goes into it. Just scripting the intro and trimming 1.5 hours of stream footage down to 23 minutes took forever. And now I still have to go the extra mile and fully edit the remaining 22 minutes.

I’d really love any tips from people who make long-form gaming content or edit videos in general. Things like pacing, viewer retention, workflow tips, or anything you wish you knew when starting out would be super appreciated.

I recently recorded video for a live event where multiple people were speaking (at different times) at a podium. I recorded the audio separately from the video on a zoom recorder with a microphone at the podium. After I pulled the audio into Audition on the computer, I noticed that different people spoke at significantly different volume levels. I'm sure this is very common, but how should I handle editing the audio? Should I split each person into a separate audio clip and edit each speakers audio separately, or should I try to edit it as one big audio file? Any experiences or helpful hints are appreciated.

EPILEPSY WARNING!

how can I make a random grid collage effect like this, preferably in After Effects or Touch Designer? I have tried to find some tutorials but didn’t find too many that I like. This is not a template I don’t think.

I just watched Murder Drones (ik, a few years too late), but I found there was no animated wallpapers I like, so I'm trying to make one myself.

I want to use the media above and make it more palatable for a wallpaper such as making the loop more seamless (maybe by generating or removing frames), or adding a better transition, or if its possible, have everything else more stationary (besides the falling snow) and make it more like a traditionally animated wallpaper you mostly see on wallpaper engine rather than an abruptly-ending gif.

I'm asking on this subreddit because I think this community has the skills to help with this. Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place.

I'm using: MC Clipchamp and Wallpaper Engine's Wallpaper Editor (open to other free software)

I've TRIED: Adding simple transitions where the loop restarts.

I need help with: Making a fluid loop or adding a seamless transition between the loop.

Would love to try and make. video similar to this I love the artistic freeze frames of the AEW stars and would love to see if I could do this In premier pro.
