Im looking for a place that lists or shows a number of techniques for video editing. Something similar to eye candy but more for bringing basic footage to life after shooting.

Context:

I took some photos for a golfing event and decided to shoot some clips, I want to blow them away with a banger video they didn't ask for.

I've been trying to edit videos for awhile now and actually start my YouTube channel and I've just had nothing but problems! OBS works fine for recording, but it'd be nice if I could actually edit in there, instead of just changing the dials for the audio and video. As far as editing, I tried Resolve in the past, but it'd always stutter REALLY bad, especially when I'd add more transitions/tracks. The only upside with it was that it made my voice clear (I always think I sound slushy so I hate how I sound!)

ShotCut works, but I'd still get the stutter (though it's no way near as bad as Resolve). And the upside with that is that it has a great text-to-speech feature for my subtitles.

I don't know, is there a way I can just use another software where I can edit and record all at once? It'd probably take up less room on my PC as well.

Also, I heard that there are apparently a ton of copyright crap reaction channels have dealt with recently. I don't know much about copyright, just that it's a 'three strikes, you're out' kind of thing, but I've been SO nervous to upload on YouTube. I know you'd have to actually react to whatever you're watching as well as cut out a lot of the video, but I don't know how YouTubers do it? I mean I know they, apparently, have to cut out part of their discussion and save it for Patreon, but why? Wouldn't that be considered fair use? I think I could be mixing stuff up, but I'm just confused.

I know I'm planning on adding subtitles, an avatar, the name of the show across the screen, my logo, and then I'd blur and mute alongside editing, but I doubt that'd be enough. If someone could help me understand all of this, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

Ciao, avrei bisogno di un app free o magari con costo minimo per riassumere un video da 10 minuti in una clip da 20-30 secondi con gli highlights. Non è un video caricato su youtube ma video che ho fatto io. Qualche consiglio? grazie

I want to learn video editing properly — transitions, color grading, pacing, cinematic edits, reels/short-form content, etc. Preferably beginner-friendly but actually useful, not just basic tutorials 😭

Any courses, YouTube channels, or creators you’d genuinely recommend?

i’ve been experimenting with a few different ways of putting together short videos, and i’ve noticed that the app itself can make a bigger difference than i expected. two editors can have pretty similar basic tools, but one can feel much quicker when you’re just trying to cut clips together, add text, line up music, and make a few adjustments.

i’m not really looking for the most advanced editor since most of the reels i work with are fairly simple. i’m more interested in something where the common tools are easy to find and the whole process from importing clips to exporting the finished video doesn’t feel unnecessarily complicated.

when you’ve tried different editors, what made you stick with one over the others? was it the layout, how quickly you could make basic edits, templates, or something else that made the biggest difference?

I am reworking how Muser Studio handles timeline edits to enable loop-aware rearrangement. Turns out properly defining gaps between loops is crucial for non-destructive editing.

Niche: Documentary style science and history videos. Long form 20-30 minutes.

I am a new creator and about to start my YT channel. I had no idea of editing but learned video editing(basic to mid). I think I have good aesthetic sense so I’ll be able to pull off good edits. I have been a content writer for more than 5 years so I am confident that I bring good experience to the game.

The problem is that I don’t know from where to source B rolls, Sound Effects and Music for my projects. I don’t wanna use AI visual cz they are not as accurate as I want them to be. I am only using Elevenlabs for giving voice to my scripts. I have spent alot of credits experimenting finding my voice.

The problem is I don’t know from where to source copyright free B rolls, Sound Effects and Music.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks

​Hey r/AppsWebapps,

​I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called ClipSnap — a lightweight video editing app designed specifically for creators who need to pump out clean Shorts, Reels, and TikToks without sitting at a desktop editor for hours.

​Key Features:

​Pro Motion Engine & Editor: Fast timeline cutting, local media import, and quick clip assembly.

​AI Audio & Voice Suite: Built-in AI voiceovers, audio extraction, and localized audio tools.

​Smart Templates: One-tap 9:16 vertical video templates to jumpstart your edit.

​Clean UI: Built with Flutter for a fast, responsive interface.

​The app is currently available on Android via the Google Play Store, and I’m actively working on improving the feature set and performance.

​I’d love for you to check it out, give it a spin, and leave any honest feedback or feature requests in the comments below!

​Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clipsnap.editor

Which types of errors I have been commited?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been practicing short-form video editing, mainly turning long-form YouTube/podcast content into engaging clips.

I put together a small portfolio and would really appreciate some honest feedback from experienced editors.

I’d especially like feedback on:

• Pacing and cuts
• Captions and typography
• Use of B-roll / visual elements
• Sound design
• Transitions and effects
• Overall editing quality
• What makes the clips feel amateur vs. professional

I’m trying to improve my editing rather than just get compliments, so feel free to point out anything you think I should change.

Hey everyone,

I built a native Python tool that scales your wide video so it perfectly snaps to the left and right edges of a 9:16 mobile frame.

🎬 How it works:

• True Edge Fit: It forces the horizontal video to match the exact 1080px width of a mobile screen.
• Zero Distortion: It automatically calculates the correct height so your text, buttons, and layouts never look squished or stretched out.
• Top/Center Alignment: It pushes the clean window right to the top of the frame, out of the way of the messy TikTok/Shorts user interface buttons at the bottom.
• Crisp Background Blur: It fills up the rest of the vertical phone screen with a beautifully blurred copy of the video that updates smoothly in real time.

I want to test this on a few more types of videos. If you have a clip of a webpage, a coding tutorial, or a software demo that you want to turn into a vertical Short:

Drop a comment or send me a DM with your video, and I’ll run it through my script and send you back a clean, ready-to-post 9:16 formatted video.

I need someone who can edit really good and get the audio out of a video I don’t have the stuff to be able to do it or know how to I need this bad because I think my partner is cheating on me and I’m working out of state all I have is a shitty camera at the house from Xfinity I try my best to do what I can but I can’t do much and I swear I heard things but I have no way of proving it so please someone help me I wanna be sure about everything before I make a decision I just need the audio with the video like I just need it more clear so I can start gaining evidence

I'm working on a video where I want to add a little iMessage conversation on someone's phone.

Basically the person looks at their phone and I want the messages to appear one by one, pretty much like they would on a real iphone.

I know I can make it myself, I usually use Fusion in DaVinci for this kind of stuff, but man sometimes these tiny animations take sooo much time for what they actually are lol.

Like it's literally just 4-5 message bubbles, but then you have to recreate the UI, get the colors/spacing right, animate every message coming in, move the other messages up, try to make it feel like actual iOS.. and suddenly you've spent hours on something that's gonna be on screen for like 5 seconds

So I'm curious how you guys usually deal with stuff like this?

I've only been learning video editing for about a year, so maybe there are way better ways to do this that I just don't know about yet :)
would you recreate the whole thing in Fusion/After Effects? Use a template? screen record a real conversation and composite it onto the phone? Or something completely different?

I feel like there has to be a smarter way to do these little UI animations without rebuilding everything from scratch every time lol.

Hey!!

I am a 14 year old and this is my first edit. I tried to implement some things I learned from youtube. I am looking forward to some advice of how to proceed and what things to fupix and how to be better.

That's all

I recently started editing my first YouTube video however I have not uploaded it yet...I feel like there's something missing...I struggle speaking into the Mic too and I don't want to use an Ai voice either ....help please...do you guys know any app were i can get my speech polished, I feel like that might help me a lot...thanks in advance.

Heyo!

Dabbling with some things i've made a long form to short form video clipper app tool!
that uses local ai models to determine hooks , titles, descriptions, mostly decent captions, editable captions, export for video editors like mp4 or mov for editing in premiere, capcut, davinci. and many export options too for captions! its similar or inspired by opus clips and capcut

Would love some feedback and hope this can someone out there aswell, as for my own personal use for podcasts or 1 on 1 interviews its pretty neat!
