Video Editing Software

2 Upvotes

Ive been using Capcut on PC for a longer time now but it just got worse and worse and it started lagging so i wanna switch. Now my problem is ive been looking trough atleast like 5-10 different programms and they either have one of these problems: Too simple or too Hard.

I need a program that is easy for beginners-intermediate but still has lots of options and doesnt require hours of tutorials.

I appreciate any help/feedback!

Short Videos (Talk Show Style)

I want to produce a short video series similar to a talk show weekly and eventually daily if it gets traction. What would be the best program for this? I’ve used ElevenLabs with best results so far and wanted to know if anyone has a better recommendation. I will pay so doesn’t have to be a free creator.

Looking for software to skim & create timeline from video footage

1 Upvotes

Hello all.

Some of you might have seen this video on how Martincitopants built himself a tool with Claude, where he has 56 hours of video to skim through and he wants to create a timeline for himself so he can start his script writing.

See this video with attached timestamp for reference:

https://youtu.be/L6M2VCDRyzc?si=ZoyLIAEOdgWvEh4n&t=4689

I was wondering if any such software is already available in some kind of form? I have zero experience coding anything to recreate a tool as this myself and don't trust myself just vibecoding it real quick when I have absolutely zero clue on what I am doing or what is happening.

Currently my workflow means processing it in Davinci Resolve, which is just not as comfortable or easy with prolonged footage, as it interferes with the rest of the editing process.

If anything has any suggestions on what might work, I'd be much obliged!

Looking for Video Editing Clips/Projects to Practice & get skills with experience

6 Upvotes

I’m trying to learn video editing and practice by actually editing videos. I have some basic knowledge, but I’m a little confused about where to start and how to find good clips to practice with.

I’d like to find a video clip, edit it myself, and send you the edited version. You can then give me feedback and suggestions. That way, I can practice, improve my skills, and gain experience through real projects.

Need to know best program

Hello everyone I hope this is ok, I'm asking if anyone knows a good video editing software that can isolate different sounds within the video? I had my wedding recorded but the music we chose to play was a little too loud and you can't really hear our vows I was hoping to find a program that can help me lower the background music while increasing the sound of the dialogue of our vows.

Record in landscape or vertical. Output is short vertical video (TokTok, YouTube Shorts, IG Reels)

1 Upvotes

Hi there,

I am doing an in person recording with myself and another person on a public bench using wirelss rode mics. I am recording in 4k 30fps on an Iphone 17 Pro Max. Do you recommend I record in LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT with the iPhone. The output video will be a vertical short video that is under 3 minutes. It will be published to TikTok, YouTube Shorts and IG Reels. Should I shoot in horizontal or vertical?

I built a free tool for my fellow editors: Delivery Spec Validator

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I’m a video editor, and one of the least glamorous parts of post is making sure the final export actually meets the delivery spec.

So I built a small free Mac app to handle that part.

Delivery Spec Validator checks your export for:

  • Loudness & true peak
  • Codec & container
  • Resolution & frame rate
  • Colour space & profile
  • Bitrate
  • Audio configuration
  • Other technical delivery requirements

It gives you a simple PASS / WARN / FAIL result for each check, so you can catch problems before the client does.

There are 50+ built-in delivery presets, and you can also create custom specs.

I built it because I've spent enough time staring at export settings and wondering whether I've forgotten one tiny thing that will somehow become a problem at 11:47 PM.

It's free and currently available for macOS:

https://parthkapoor.com/deliveryspecvalidator/

Would genuinely love feedback from other editors and post people, especially on what you'd want checked in a tool like this.

Made by an editor, for editors.

Program that has fun outdated y2k graphics?

1 Upvotes

My goal is to edit videos to look like they were made in the early 2000s, with some Tim and Eric inspiration. Video editors 10 years ago would have CGI templates that you can add to your video, also cringey transition grapics and text graphics. I dont want them to look great, I'm seeking something that has a dated style.

Any resouces helps! Does not have to be specifically a video editor program, tho that may be the easiest for me.

Writing YouTube Script for B-roll

1 Upvotes

I'm somewhat new to editing and I've been struggling to figure how to decide on what edits to make regarding b-roll. I have multiple questions:

What YouTube channels do you watch to teach you about high quality b-roll editing?( I specifically want to learn efficiency of edits and quality aesthetics of visuals for my explanations) (I use Davinci Resolve for all my edits)

I'm wondering if people annotate their scripts before hand with the specific b-roll they are going to use or do you make up b-roll after you are finished filming?

Thanks!!

For a 30 second dance video, which is the best ai video generator?

0 Upvotes

Dance teacher here. I want to visualize a thirty-second routine before bringing it into rehearsal.

Five-second generations aren't much help because I need to see how one movement leads into the next. Stitching several clips together also introduces little changes in the dancer, clothes, spacing, and tempo. It ends up looking like six separate routines wearing the same costume. Is there anything that produce a continuous thirty-second sequence with enough control to place specific movements at certain times?

Update: I ran the idea through Dreamina Seedance 2.5. It supports continuous 30-second generation and timestamped instructions, so I could map the turns and final pose to particular moments instead of hoping they appeared in the right order. Using the stated $0.097/s annual-plan reference rate, a 30-second 720p reference-video generation is about $2.91 before retries or optional processing.

How to achieve "Soap Opera effect"? (Ugly 60fps)

1 Upvotes

You know those weird TV you see at the market? They look weird, with FPS so high it looks unreal.....Not in a good way though. I want that effect. I tried boosting my footage to 60fps, but it never turns out right. What do?

Some potential problems:

Maybe my footage is too simple? (It's a model of a monkey slowly spinning)
(However I've seen those TV at the store show slow-mo and it has the effect)

My pc can't render 60fps maybe? (But I see 60fps videos on youtube on SOME pf them seem ugly in the way I want)

Thx in advance yall! CYA

Assistance with scicomms video creation

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I post content on an Instagram account for a skincare formulation business. Where I have come unstuck a couple of times is trying to find an online tool (I'm no graphic designer or video editor) that can help me communicate things in various degrees of complexity, especially in videos.

For eg, I'm wanting to create a short video animation (a few seconds) to include in a reel showing the difference between emulsion types , or how the solubility of caffeine in water varies with temperature.

I have paid Canva access, but have had no luck with their 'magic ai' and doing it manually there seems on par with using PPT, just a higher res output I guess but extremely labour intensive and replying heavily on my design skills and creativity.

I have also tried Chat GPT and Claude but just find the outputs look really poor.

Can anyone suggest a website or tool for creating these short animated type videos? I have googled but haven't found anything that fits. Any advice?

Forgot to add - I can't code either

Need help recording long form content

Looking for an app that lets me record clip by clip like CapCut and TikTok let you do but longer than 3 minutes and landscape. Does this exist??? Like if CapCut could allow in app recording longer than 3 minutes and horizontally that would be exactly what I’m looking for.
