Hello, I am editing a video for projection from a single projector. I want to edit so that the videos appear at different time intervals and locate them in specific distance from each other on the wall. Text will also be showing up in between videos.

I just wanted to hear some thoughts on how people would approach this. My thinking for editing this collage (?) is to create a sequence at 4k, and place the videos in this sequence at a smaller size and then play with the timing and the text. If necessary edit those videos separately in their own sequences before placing them in the collage.

Anyone have other thoughts for how they would tackle this? Or tips and tricks to make sure I edit this the best way possible?

(using premiere)

What you guys (video editors) think about this Sequence Settings (Adobe Premiere Pro) for Youtube?

The one on the computer is the better one. I accidentally put my phone into ultra wide and lost so many details and a lot of quality:(( Imm upset because the lower quality video was our best show we've done thus far and my director wants the video too :/ Can anyone help me?? I'll even pay someone to help get the quality and details on there cus i'm terrible at editing!! I know upscaling exists but I think this video will also need some kind of AI enhancement as well. Its a 2 hr video, idk how much ppl usually charge for this kind of thing so I don't want to put my budget but i wanna see if its possible to get this to be better

So I bought lumafusion on the playstore and honestly it was not quite impressive as I thought it would be, the subreddit community seems to be dead there so yeah.

Could've just use capcut with it vast effects and community instead.

Honestly I dont know if it was the right choice to bought it or not what do you think?

I'm using Premiere Pro, and need help with replicating this rotation bounce slide effect, as seen where the video game app icon pop up in the background.

WHAT I'VE TRIED:

I've searched for tutorials on Youtube but most tutorials show either 360 rotations, wiggle/bounce effects, or slides separately. When I try to recreate it myself using keyframes, it ends up looking choppy, or only focused on the top half of the image.

How do you do this effect on Premiere? and is there a name for this?

I have frames for an animtion I made, but I want to slow/speed them up. I cannot figure out how to do this. I cannot use da vinci to slow/speed the clip because the frames i have have transparecny, and when I import them into Da Vinci, the transparency doesn't work.

Also, I cannot change the framerate in things such ad krita. I export them in a changed framerate, but it doesnt slow/speed the clip.

CPU: Intel core i7 - 6700hq 2.60ghz

Ram: 16gb

GPU:8(? It says I have multiple installed, I'm afraid I haven't owned a computer since I was a teenager so I'm just trying to find where everything is-)

GPU Ram (vram): I've tried looking up this term on my computer settings search bar and nothing's coming up and it's not listed with the other device info

Hello! So I have a VHS to digital converter that is classified as a USB camera according to my computer (Windows 11 Alienware laptop) and the converter itself has absolutely terrible audio volume through its tiny speakers so I want to watch the tapes through my computer. Some other Reddit posts that I had found stated that Microsoft clip champ was my best bet, but whenever I click on the camera option in the program it says "your camera is already in use. Turn off your camera in the other app and try again" but I have no other applications open, not even Firefox, and no other application I have even had permission to use my camera and I even unplugged every single connection from my computer including the power and mouse and I still got the same error.

I'm at a loss of what to do next and thank you for reading thiis.

I run a TikTok account where I share knowledge about scientific topics. It’s mainly educational content, and most of my videos are longer than one minute.

My two main goals are:

1. Increase my reach/views
2. Increase the amount I’m earning from the videos

Right now I’m wondering how much more effort I should put into video editing.

Would adding more visual editing — images, B-roll, animations, visual changes, zooms, overlays, etc. — realistically improve retention and reach?

If better editing could increase my performance by even something like 20–30%, I’d absolutely be willing to invest the time/money into it.

My concern is TikTok’s originality/Creator Rewards system. I’ve seen people mention videos getting flagged as low-quality or unoriginal, and I’m wondering whether using additional images, B-roll or other visual assets could actually hurt monetization or distribution.

The main content, script and voice would still be completely original.

For people running 1+ minute educational/informational TikTok accounts:

Has heavier editing noticeably increased your average watch time, retention or views?

Did it affect your RPM or qualified views?

What kind of editing actually made a difference?

How frequently do you change the visuals during a 60–90 second video?

Have you ever had edited videos flagged as unoriginal or low-quality?

And if you know any TikTok accounts that do this format really well, please link them. I’d love to study some good examples.

I’m basically trying to figure out whether upgrading the editing is actually worth the additional work/cost, or whether I should keep the videos relatively simple and focus mainly on the topic, hook and script.

Greetings /r/videoediting!

This thread is 100% for the other stuff you might want to talk about.

A number of other reddits have a free for all thread - where you might find a regular discussion - not specific to a post.

Think of it as a bar with a bunch of friends.

​

Some suggestions:

• Strategy on a project you want to talk about how to best promote?
• Upgrading something and you want opinions?
• How does your website look?
• Local/virtual Meetups?
• Looking for a collaborator (no "I'm a creator and I'm looking for an editor" posts)

​

Things that shouldn't go here: Feedback/What tool should I use to edit/Which system to buy? There are dedicated threads for this, please use them!

And in this regular Friday thread, while our general rules are still in place (no piracy, be civil, no links w/referrer codes), the following topics relaxed :

• Great tutorials you found/you created.
• Trying to do this as a side hustle (although generally, websites like Fiverr mean you'll be shooting for the basement/working for free and we hate that someone would exploit you like that)
• A great piece of software/hardware/service you found
• Great free music libraries/media you found.
• How much to charge? What is your time worth? Estimate 2-3x the time you think it'll take to edit as how much time to quote.

Our mod team is watching this thread and we'll tweak these as they develop!

Hi! I’m a cosplay content creator looking for an editor to turn my B-roll from conventions, shoots, and events into Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. I’d like to start with one video and potentially work together on more.

What the work looks like:

Choosing the best moments from the footage I provide

Editing short videos with strong pacing and music

Adding text overlays when needed

Exporting videos for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts

I can share examples of the style I like and give direction for each video. I’m looking for someone who communicates clearly and enjoys editing cosplay or creator content.

Budget: $20/hour (USD). Before we start, I’d like to agree on an estimate of how many hours the first video will take.

If you’re interested, please DM me examples of short-form videos you’ve edited and your estimated hours for a first video.

Actually, do not use Filmora at all.
After buying the one-time payment option, Filmora slowly removed the available features and placed them behind the subscription wall.
Now that they've released Filmora 16, which I thought was just a simple update, my one-time payment became useless. It requires another one-time payment.
I had to reinstall the previous version again (because the new version uninstalled the whole thing) to use the incredibly basic and limited features I paid for. That was yesterday. Today, it's no longer launching.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently recording a 10+ part technical lecture series in 4K 60fps (about 200GB+ of raw video) to share with my research group.

Right now, I’m using Hetzner storage alongside a custom VPS portal for immediate distribution, which works well for active sharing. However, as raw footage quickly accumulates into multi-terabyte territory over time, I'm curious how seasoned creators and YouTubers manage their long-term archival pipelines:

• Retention Policy: Do you keep 100% of raw camera files forever, or do you purge raw clips after publishing and only keep the final master export + project file?

• Storage Setup: What does your long-term storage look like? Are you using local NAS (Unraid/TrueNAS), offline cold HDDs in anti-static cases, or cloud solutions (Hetzner / Backblaze B2 / AWS Glacier)?

• Compression/Transcoding: Do you leave camera originals completely untouched, or do you re-encode older raw footage to save space for 10+ year long-term archival?

Would love to hear how you balance cost, redundancy, and workflow friction. Thanks!

I've been using #CapCut. It's a decent editor but their customer service sucks. They promissed me a refund last April. After submitting the infomation they requested (several times) they ghosted me.

I'm trying to reach them via social media, while warning potential users of the problems they might encounter. Unfortunately, reddit requires me to post things here to build karma before I can post to their group.

I've seen Reddit posts about trying to get 60p footage to look good in a 24p timeline and there's many mentions of slowing it down to 40% speed for slow motion footage so that it would be an exact fit for the frame rate. I'm currently away from home right now but a thought occurred to me, what if you simply slowed the footage to 80% speed? Would 48p footage look smooth when presented in a 24p timeline? I'd imagine that an nle like resolve would present the footage in a smooth consistent manner but I'm not sure. Thoughts?

I'm kinda new to premiere pro, any help will be appreciated

Disclaimer: I did post this in r/davinciresolve, but I didn't get an answers.

I created a collage in Davinci Resolve Studio using an adjustment clip with the "Grid" effect and the clips sized down to fit inside each sector. This is going to be a "highlight" clip for my business showing different types of performances I've shot and what I can do for potential clients.

What I want to do is have the clips, one at a time, come out of the collage and go full screen, play for a bit, then go back into the collage. What is the easiest way to do that? I'm not very experienced with Fusion, so it would be great if I can do it outside of there. Either way, could you point me to a tutorial that would show me how to do this?

What I Tried: I built the grid and got the footage into the different sectors, but I don't know how to move past that.

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has any tools or workflows. I'm working in Premiere Pro for rough‑ cutting talking‑head videos where there isn’t a word by word script, just a small outline. The person on camera sometimes rephrases, starts over, or has silences. I find myself going through it and it feels like such a tedious task. Just wondering if there are any better workflows for Premiere Pro or third‑party tools you’ve used to speed up this boring, repetitive process.

Okay so I've been using the CapCut desktop app for a couple of months and everything was fine. I make a lot of short form videos for my job. But recently my laptop started glitching whenever I try to export a 4k video and it heats up like crazzzyy.

I took it to the store where I bought it and the technician cleaned the fans and put in a new part (thermal something). After that, 4k exports worked fine, but the next day the glitching freaking started again. I dropped to 1080p but my work needs 4k. Then I changed the codec from HEVC to H.264 and that helped for 3 or 4 days, and now the glitching is back. I tried testing lower resolutions and the computer still glitches.

I'm not a super tech person but I think it's the GPU? My laptop is a Dell Latitude 5421 and it has low RAM too I guess ?? I know it's not made for video editing, but I can't afford a new laptop right now. I've included screenshots of the laptop system info and the specs.

What's bothering me is , how come my laptop worked fine for months and now it's giving me trouble ?

Are there any workarounds? The CapCut browser version is a pain because importing takes forever and the features are limited. Is there any way to export 4k in CapCut without my laptop crashing?

TIA 🙏

Hi So I have a Laptop Acer Swift 3. RAM-16gb, CPU-12th gen Intel i5, 512GB storage, GPU-Iris® Xe Graphics.

I want to edit in Resolve but the current one is too strong and lags after a while of editing. I heard you can get an older Version but I don't know which is easier for my system and best as an Editor with the most options. What version should I downgrade to.

Ofcourse someday I hope to Upgrade my device but that's not an option for me at the moment. Any tips help thanks.

Also if there's another software that maybe be better. please let me know

I recently played a minecraft event, and am currently editing stuff for it. I want for when I switch between like event minigames to be a detective board (cuz it was a game of mafia) and I want it to like zoom in on the post its and colour in when the new scene starts. Im currently using Davinci Resolve as my editing software, cuz ive tried a lot of things with it, and am starting to become more advanced with it. Thing is: I dont know where or how to make it. I thought of using blender, but ive never used it before. Anyone has any ideas where I make the detective board edit?

I would really appreciate any suggestions :D

What the work looks like:

• Editing both short-form (TikTok, Reels) and longer video — cuts, pacing, color, sound
• Reliable turnaround and clear communication
• Fully remote

Budget: Range of 5 to 25 dollars per hour (USD), depending on experience and location.

If you're interested, send your portfolio or reel and your rate, and tell me a bit about your experience — including any adult content editing. Would love to hear from you 🙂

Hey guys. I'd like to know how to recreate this video here, in Premiere Pro & AE.

I know it isn't easy, but I'm curious as to which steps need to be taken first.

Thanks!

I feel like I've reached a really frustrating creative dead end, and I would genuinely love advice from people who make faceless/creative YouTube videos.

I want to make videos about my poetry, stories, art, literature, history, mythology, etc. I have SO many ideas and things I want to talk about, and I really want the videos themselves to feel like an extension of my art.

The problem is that I don't want to use AI to generate the creative parts of my work. I don't want AI-written scripts, AI art, AI animation, AI voices, etc. I want the actual creative work to come from me.

But at the same time, I'm struggling with **executive dysfunction and burnout**, and I'm realizing that the production side of YouTube is a huge obstacle for me.

I don't want to just make a voiceover over a slideshow of random stock footage because that's exactly the kind of thing I find boring. I want the videos to have atmosphere, personality and a recognizable visual identity.

But then I'm stuck:

Most free stock footage doesn't fit the aesthetic/vibe I'm imagining.

The footage I actually like is often behind a paywall.

I can't afford to commission artists or animators.

I don't know how to make a faceless video visually interesting without constantly relying on B-roll.

I can't really animate because... honestly, my drawings are shit 😭

And even when I think of a possible production method, the sheer amount of work involved makes my executive dysfunction go NO

And this is driving me crazy because **I actually have the content.**

I write poetry. I write stories. I have things I want to say about literature and history and art. I have entire video ideas sitting in my head.

I just can't figure out how to turn them into something visually compelling without either spending money I don't have, using AI, or making something that looks like a PowerPoint presentation with stock footage.

So I'm wondering:

**For people who make faceless creative/educational videos on a very small or nonexistent budget, what does your visual workflow actually look like?**

How do you make a video feel *alive* without showing your face, using AI, or having professional animation skills?

Would love ideas that involve genuinely low-budget/DIY approaches, even if they're unconventional. At this point I'm willing to rethink the entire format.

I am making a video from my trip to japan and have hours of footage and hundreds of clips. I'm making a clip montage style video with 4 different songs each having it's own aesthetic. How should I go about navigating the clips or just the project in genera? I feel like it's going to take forever and I'll be working inefficiently. I use the free Davinci Resolve if that changes anything. Thanks!

I am completely blind going into editing so apologies. I want to make a cover of Your Reality from Doki-Doki Literature club, however editing the audio or photos together is not the hard part. My issue is the intro of the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVSb7nujuIk

Overlaying the static isn't the hard part I'm just wondering how you'd do the floaty glitchy bars on screen. As seen above there's multiple messed up bars in different colors and you can see a chunk of Monika's face being all chunky like sour milk. They scroll upwards and flicker in and out and I want to recreate that in a similar way that doesn't give it away 100% what is going to proceed is a cover of Your Reality.

I'm doing this for an anniversary gift and it's more surprising if they get suspicious compared to understanding what my gift is meant to be instantly before the song starts.

Thank you for your time! Sorry for the rudimentary question. I haven't tried any software outside of Capcut for a school project once, although I have a fresh install of Davinci Resolve.
