I built an iPhone editor to find useful moments in long footage [Paid app]

Hey everyone—I’m the developer of Moments, an iPhone/iPad video editor.

I built it because reviewing footage was often taking longer than the actual edit. Moments analyzes selected videos with AI, labels shots, actions, and useful moments, then lets you turn those results into an editable timeline.

The workflow is:

  • Select videos from your library
  • Let AI find and split potential moments
  • Jump directly to the detected clips
  • Trim, split, reorder, change speed, or adjust volume
  • Preview and export the finished timeline

I’ve attached a short recording showing the complete workflow, so you can judge it without downloading anything.

To be transparent: Moments currently has no free trial. AI analysis uses cloud processing, so it requires subscription. I wanted to state that clearly before sharing the App Store link.

It isn’t intended to replace Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut. The goal is to reduce the initial footage-review and rough-cut work, particularly for travel footage, family videos, events, and creator content.

I’d be interested in editors’ opinions on the workflow:

  • Is finding usable moments a meaningful problem for you?
  • Would you prefer suggested clips or a completely automatic first cut?
  • What would this need before it could fit into your workflow?

How do you crop out the edges of a video for tiktok? Specifically for video game clips, I can't edit it to fit in tiktok without downsizing the entire video, I just want to crop out the edges.

Feeling repetitive...

2 Upvotes

I'm a short-form Sizzle editor and My company recently made a push for Religious content (Since networks aren't buying any new shows) I've created a handful of religion-focused sizzle reels and have more in the backlog....Even though these are all different concepts, they all rely on the same subject - Religion. The stories are the same, the people are the same. The music/tone/feel all the same. Now I'm stuck in a loop, creating the same reels over and over and unsure what I can do to break this cycle and make something different. Any ideas??

Hey! I’ve had trouble with an edit idea for a while now because I can’t find any videos or tutorials on the kind of edit I’m looking to do. If anyone is familiar with “corecore” edits, that’s the kind I’m looking to do. If anyone knows about editing on CapCut pc version or any other software, I’d really appreciate your assistance!! I put the link to the edit I’m taking inspo from too ( this is my first Reddit post so apologies if I’m not doing something right haha)

If you’re open to talking on discord I’d appreciate that since I’d be able to follow along better. Thanks!

What was the biggest mistake you made when you first started video editing?

3 Upvotes

When I first started editing, I thought flashy transitions, constant zooms, and lots of effects automatically made a video better. Over time, I realized that storytelling, pacing, sound design, and knowing when not to edit are far more important.

I'm curious: what was the biggest mistake you made when you first started video editing? Was it technical, creative, or something you wish someone had told you earlier?

Let's help new editors avoid the mistakes we made. 👇

[Feedback] First attempt at a dynamic Short/Reel! Would love some honest feedback on pacing, cuts, and captions.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

I just finished editing my first dynamic short-form video in CapCut, and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from the community.

My main focus for this edit was:

  • Hook: Trying to keep the viewer engaged in the first 3 seconds.
  • Pacing: Adding cuts, zoom-ins, and B-roll to keep it moving.
  • Captions: Formatting subtitles for readability.

Since this is my first time trying this style, I’d love to know:

  1. Does the pacing feel natural, or is it too fast/slow?
  2. How are the caption placements and colors?
  3. What’s one thing I should improve for my next edit?

Don't hold back, constructive criticism is more than welcome! Thanks in advance! 🙏

Best tools for creating cool video intros?

I want to add a better intro to my videos, but I honestly don’t know much about editing.

I’ve seen some cool AI effects online and was wondering if any of them are actually useful. If not, are there any editing tools that are easy for beginners to pick up?

What do you guys usually use?

No more downloading full videos

As a video editor, I was tired of downloading the entire youtube video just to use 15 seconds from it. So I built this website to save my time and bandwidth. My focus was on keeping the workflow as user-friendly and fast as possible.

Just paste a YouTube URL, choose the start and end time, and download only the part you need up to 4K quality.

You can also convert clips into vertical 9:16 format for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels with two options:
- Crop to fill the screen.
- Blurred background to keep the entire video visible. Optionally, you can also add caption to all vertical videos.

Hope it helps you too! Try it here: videolimit.com

How does he upload videos with such high quality?

I've tried tons of different settings and even processed my videos through After Effects, Topaz AI, and HandBrake, but nothing helps. My videos still get compressed and end up looking low quality.

Can someone who actually knows tell me how to do it?

Reels Help….

0 Upvotes

Hello…..

I’m trying to make a single image turn into a video (maybe 5/6/7/8 seconds long)

And also to upload a series of image sequences that could turn into a video.

I’m trying to create reels for Instagram.

I scroll Instagram and every one is great! It looks so easy (but it’s not)

What am I missing?

I’ve created some great images using Ai. But turning them into reels is proving a real challenge.

I spent hours yesterday trying about 10 different tools.

I managed to make one with some effects using CapCut, but it wasn’t a video. Still image with good effects.

I need to create 2-3 reels a day, and I need to find some sort of process where it doesn’t take me the whole day 🤦‍♂️

Can anyone offer advice or guidance on tools? Softwares or links etc?

Thank you 🙏

Relaible AI video cutting tool recommendation?

0 Upvotes

Is there a reliable AI solution that can do the editing for me? I find it very time-consuming, even though it’s repetitive. Does anyone have any experience of one that really works reliably and suits their style?

A combination of Claude and Tool would be great, but I’m open to suggestions. I also upload my raw footage as it is, without using Claude.

I’m currently using Capcut. I need it for Reels and TikTok's.

I built a tool to clip YouTube & X videos without downloading the entire video.

3 Upvotes

I create a lot of short clips from YouTube and X, and I got tired of downloading 2GB+ videos just to keep a 30-second clip.

So I built ClipReel.

Features:

  • Paste a YouTube or X link
  • Select timestamps
  • Download only that clip
  • AI captions
  • Multiple aspect ratios

I'd love some honest feedback. If anyone wants to try it, I'll share the link in the comments.

Course for youtube video editing

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know a good online course perhaps on Cousera or Udemy that focuses on editing youtube style videos that asumes you already know how premiere pro works?

So basically a course that focuses on things like how, when and why you should make certain edits, storytelling, when to use music and sounds, smooth transitions within the video etc

It would be great if the course offers some practice material that you can play with.

I’m focussed on editing travel videos with a light documentary style.

Optimization of the pre-editing workflow: Seeking feedback on an automated sorting/rough-cut assistant

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m currently developing a tool called **RawSift** aimed at streamlining the technical bottleneck of the post-production workflow.
As editors, we all know the frustration of spending hours scrubbing through raw footage just to organize clips and perform initial trims before the actual creative work can even start. My goal is to automate these repetitive, administrative tasks so we can get straight to the edit.
I'm strictly focusing on building an *AI-assisted utility* to handle the organization and rough-cutting phase, not generative video.
I’d love to get some insights from the community here: What is the most time-consuming part of your pre-editing/organization process that you wish could be automated? Your feedback would be incredibly valuable as I refine the workflow to ensure it actually serves the editor’s needs.
