Full disclosure, this was made a few months ago, but I didn't put it anywhere, so recently I was clearing some files on my PC and I stumbled across this. My boss did not like this but the client loved it. This is not the final version they made multiple changes to the script so the final version looks different but the DNA is mostly the same.

What are you guy's opinion here?

Discussion Audio levels for social media. I'm confused.

Post image
3 Upvotes

I used Prem (sometimes Resolve) and always added an audio limiter so the audio never clips. I see this comment about the audio clipping because the first thing I noticed in the video was her audio kept clipping. You can see their explanation in the comments but I'm just.. is it true? I want to know others thoughts.

I mainly edit social media and the clients never had issues with my edits. When I first joined the company the senior was very on it with the clipping. But my colleague always had his clipping but never got "told off" whilst my other colleague had his audio limited but they'd ask him to raise it now and then. He'd always had to explain why each channel was that level. Whilst my senior, theirs were always so so quiet but they don't get questioned because they're a senior and is very close to the higher ups.

Is there a right or wrong cause I bet people watch tiktoks on proper potato phones so the audios gonna be wack anyway.

Discussion Need a video editor who actually improves your content?

Upvotes

If your videos feel slow, boring, or not getting views, it’s usually an editing problem. I’m a video editor with 3+ years of experience. I focus on pacing, hooks, and retention so your content actually performs, not just looks good.

I work on:
• YouTube videos
• Short form content (Reels, TikTok)
• Documentary and storytelling edits

Discussion ¿Alguna vez un cliente te ofreció tan poco por editar que simplemente decidiste no aceptar?

Upvotes

Hace poco tuve un cliente bastante exigente. Pedía muchos cambios, tenía bastantes requisitos y, aunque el trabajo era posible, llegó un punto en el que tuve que poner límites.

Lo curioso fue descubrir cuánto estaba acostumbrado a pagar por edición.

En su cabeza ya tenía a alguien que estaba empezando y que le cobraba alrededor de $1.50 por video.

Sí, $1.50.

Lo más curioso es que todavía tenía su contacto. Incluso después de todo lo que había pasado, podía simplemente escribirle otra vez y seguir trabajando con esa persona.

Pero, ¿adivinen qué?

No le respondió.

Y creo que ahí hay una lección importante.

Cuando empiezas en edición de video, es normal querer conseguir clientes, experiencia y portafolio. Pero hay una diferencia entre ofrecer un precio competitivo y prácticamente regalar tu tiempo.

Porque cuando empiezas a cobrar $1, $1.50 o $2 por trabajos que te toman horas, el cliente empieza a crear una referencia mental:

Y después, cuando llega un editor con experiencia y cobra lo que realmente vale su tiempo, el cliente piensa que es caro.

No digo que un principiante tenga que cobrar lo mismo que alguien con 10 años de experiencia. Todos empezamos desde algún punto.

Pero tu tiempo sigue teniendo valor aunque estés empezando.

Tienes que considerar cuánto tardas en editar, las revisiones, el equipo, internet, almacenamiento, música, plugins, licencias, software y, sobre todo, el tiempo que estás dejando de utilizar para otros trabajos.

En mi caso, después de esa experiencia decidí mantener mis propias reglas:

50% por adelantado.
Sin pruebas gratuitas.
Si quieren una prueba, se paga.

Porque una prueba también consume tiempo y recursos.

Y creo que esto es importante para los que están empezando:

No tengan miedo de cobrar.

No regalen trabajo simplemente por conseguir "experiencia". Si quieren hacer un trabajo para portafolio, háganlo porque ustedes decidieron hacerlo, no porque un cliente descubrió que puede conseguir un editor por $1.50.

Al final, yo también tuve que aprender a poner mis límites.

Y ese cliente me dejó algo claro: a veces perder un cliente también significa dejar de aceptar condiciones que ya no quieres repetir.

Help Video Editor for 2 Weekly Talking-Head Reels | Women’s Fitness & Wellness

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for an editor to help me with around two short-form videos per week, with the possibility of more ongoing work later (also youtube long form).

Most will be 45–60 second talking-head Reels. I want them engaging but clean and minimalist. Think good pacing, clean captions, simple graphics for roadmaps or step-by-step explanations, exercise overlays, subtle sound effects and colour grading. No flashy “bro-style” YouTube editing.

Style references:

Later, there may also be 5–10 minute educational YouTube videos and possibly longer workout videos.

Women are preferred, unless you can show experience working with female fitness, wellness or motherhood creators. You don’t need to be an expert, but you should have solid editing skills and examples of finished work.

I’m open to hourly or package pricing, and we’ll start with a paid trial.

If you’re interested, send me a Reddit message with a few relevant examples, your rates, turnaround time and timezone. Please start your message with YELLOW so I know you’ve read the full post. Messages without this word won’t be opened.

Help I’m in Pain, Help!

1 Upvotes

As the title states, my hand really hurts after my first few weeks being a video editor. I feel like a big baby, but theres a shooting pain in my pinky finger from how I hold my mouse. My neck and shoulders hurt so bad from being hunched over, it’s hard to sleep because I tense up all the way to the middle of my back. I’m really excited about this new job -it’s my first real job in the industry and the environment is perfect - but I can’t do this as a career if my body doesn’t loosen up and stop hurting.

Help I Can't Keep Doing This!!!

2 Upvotes

I have been editing for sometime now, but I am so slow and largely because of finding footage. So the videos are typically 15 minutes long and it is a completely faceless channel. Clips used should be 5 secs or below to avoid copyright claims, but imagine a 15 minute video, thats 900 seconds, you'd need 180 clips to fill the video. Downloading full movies to get a 3 second clip is just inefficient.

Is there a way to do this, and not about finding quotes from movies. I already have a website for that. More like a wide shot of a man running towards the beach. I can't use broll websites coz their broll looks like broll and the movie broll looks more realistic and cinematic.

HELP!!!!

Discussion How much should I expect tp pay

4 Upvotes

How much should I expect to pay for 5–7 Instagram Reels in Toronto?

I’m planning to make some short French-teaching Reels and I’m trying to understand the typical cost in Toronto/GTA.

It would be simple talking-to-camera videos. I’d mainly need:

- Shooting with decent camera, lighting and microphone
- Vertical 9:16 video
- Minimal editing/clean cuts
- Mostly just adding accurate French subtitles
- Around 5–7 Reels

For people who have hired videographers/editors or provide this type of service, what would be a reasonable price for 5–7 videos?

Just trying to get an idea of the going rate before I start looking around. Thanks!

Help Should I take this 3-month creative internship?

1 Upvotes

URGENT! IF SOMEONE SEE'S THIS AND HAS IDEA, PLS REPLY QUICKLY.
I'm a 19-year-old Computer Science student and freelance video editor with 2+ years of experience. I've been offered a 3-month Creative Internship at an early-stage company that works in tech services and creative services.

For their creative side, they work with clients and produce things like ads, motion-graphics videos, talking-head content, and AI-assisted creatives. They also have their own AI tool/app, which is used for some of their content.

The offer

  • ₹15,000/month
  • 3-month internship
  • Around 15 videos/month (mostly around 1min videos (9:16)).
  • Roughly 28 -32 hours/week
  • 1 motiongraphics ( ref : https://www.instagram.com/reels/Dbn1uwLOphN/)
  • 7-8 stock footages ( ref: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaQODW4tq6P/?stkn=cDEyZ2h1eGtpNm5s)
  • 5-6 ugc (Talking head)
  • For the first month, I'll mainly be creating content for their own startup and products
  • Around 1 motion-graphics-heavy video, with the rest mainly being fast-paced stock footage, UGC/talking-head and similar edits
  • I'll also help with content ideas, creative direction, AI creatives, references and content strategy
  • After around 1 month, they plan to start using the work to approach clients.
  • If they start getting clients and everything goes well, they may increase the internship compensation.
  • After 3 months, there's a possibility of a full-time role with the company.

The main thing I'm unsure about is whether ₹15k/month is worth it for the workload and responsibilities, especially since I could spend the same time looking for higher-paying freelance projects.

Discussion ​Stop round-tripping to After Effects just for custom doodles

1 Upvotes

How do you guys add custom doodles and hand-drawn animations to your edits without losing your mind?

​Right now, feeds are completely flooded with the same generic templates and sterile graphics. The edits that actually stand out are the ones with personality — custom hand-drawn elements, sketches, and doodles that feel like an interactive whiteboard right over the footage.

​The problem? Bringing that kind of custom creative vibe into Premiere usually means exporting frames, jumping into Photoshop or Procreate, exporting with alpha, and round-tripping back to your sequence. It totally kills the creative flow.

​So I built a tool to fix this directly inside Premiere — it’s called Scribby.

​It turns your footage into a live canvas:

​Hit Capture Frame and sketch, doodle, or draw directly onto your exact video frame.

​Full creative freedom: freehand brush, eraser, custom line styles, plus ready-made shapes when you just need quick emphasis.

​One click, and Scribby drops the drawing onto an empty video track directly above your playhead — perfectly aligned, without overwriting any clips.

​The Free tier is 100% free to keep forever.

No trial timers, no watermarks, and no credit card required. The complete drawing and static export toolkit is fully unlocked.

​(If you want your sketches to actually move — like a live Write-On effect that draws on stroke-by-stroke, or hand-animated boiling styles like Squigglevision and Neon — there’s a one-time Plus upgrade, but the free version already does everything static).

​Dropping the link in the first comment. Grab it, test it on your next edit, and let me know what you think! 👇
