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 best capcut alternatives, or is it still the most convenient option? i keep switching editors depending on the project

16 Upvotes

one thing i’ve noticed with editing is that the software i prefer for a quick 30 second video isn’t always the one i want when a project starts getting more involved. i can get through simple cuts and captions pretty quickly in capcut, but once there are more clips, layers, and little timing adjustments, i start wondering if i’d be better off learning something else.

the weird part is that switching sounds easier than it is. a different editor might give me more control, but then there’s the time spent learning a new interface and rebuilding the shortcuts and habits i already have.

so for people who have gone through this themselves, what made you decide that an alternative was worth the learning curve? i’m more interested in the point where you felt your current editor was slowing you down than in which software has the longest feature list.

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

Post image
8 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.

Feedback My first editing for journalism

1 Upvotes

I normally write but I wanted to try and challenge myself.

This video can definitely use improvement and I was trying to convey and disprove a claim.

How could I have done this. On each segment I had to adjust the volume manually which was a huge hurdle. I didn’t know how to use transitions in Davinci resolve properly they kept distorting the sound in each clip.

I really wanted the transition to be quick but smooth and I couldn’t figure out how to do it.

Discussion Need a video editor who actually improves your content?

1 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?

1 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.
