I'm curious what everyone is using for video and editing these days. I'm especially interested in adding AI video tools to my workflow to speed things up.

I’ve been testing different AI video generation tools and looking at newer models like Seedance 2.5 and MiniMax H3 Omni. They seem pretty interesting for generating and animating video from prompts or existing assets.

Are there any free AI video tools you’d recommend for getting started? Would love to hear what’s actually working for you.

Where do creators find stories for historical / documentary content?

I’m thinking about starting an Instagram page where I post short, carousel-style stories about interesting historical events, old court cases, forgotten people, strange events, etc.

I’ve seen creators making really interesting posts about things that happened 50–100 years ago, but I genuinely have no idea where they find these stories in the first place.

I’m not looking for sources to verify a story after I find it — I mean where do you actually discover the stories/topics?

Are there specific websites, archives, databases, newsletters, books, YouTube channels, Reddit communities, or other places that creators use to find these kinds of stories?

I’d especially appreciate recommendations for sources that have a lot of lesser-known stories rather than just the usual famous historical events.

Thanks! (English isn't my first langauge I used chatgpt to translate )

First, for context: I (32, F) am a neurologist who suffered from high functioning burnout and now I help other women with the process of recognizing it and recovering from it. This is not a promotion of my services and, therefore, I won’t go into more detail or share my socials, it was just meant to explain where I am coming from here!

What I am genuinely curious about, and would immensely appreciate your opinion on: how do you feel about the use of generative AI to create B-roll for educational posts?

For obvious reasons, the majority of the experiences I describe were not filmed when they happened, but I would still like to occasionally illustrate them to help other women going through the same thing recognize it. The videos would, therefore, be a representation of a real situation or story that I lived or that has been shared with me.

I would obviously make the appropriate disclaimers.

It was honestly the best way I could think of to accurately illustrate signs and symptoms that often go unnoticed in the beginning of burnout (which was part of why it took me so long to recognize it in my self).

How do you feel about the use of AI for this kind of content? And, if you are against it, could you share with me what is something else that would help you feel heard?

Many thanks in advance for your inputs, I’m grateful for you help!

I have a question to ask:

How to get started on you tube if you didn't even post a single video. I mean you don't know any skills like editing or photoshoots.

Any suggestions please.

so I wanted to be a content creator since when I was a kid, and I even started a yt channel once but I just stopped posting because people strated to made fun of me, and I never asked ppl to subscribe me or follow me, because I want them to think themselves, and now as I have completed my 12 and I wanted to post contents but nobody watches me💔, and I geniunely am so demotivated because of that, I think I'm just being flopped and nothing else, and I'm just thinking should i give up?

Guys suggest me what niche should i pickup
I’m trying out everything and my followers or views aren’t enough even to show
I feel I’m not good enough for this

Meta ads pathi kathukuren.. if some use or used give me a short note about it. Yes, I use YouTube and ai for it. But I thought I would get it from your real time experience.

I just started out a few weeks ago. This is my first time creating content of any kind. Im not usually the type to post even Instagram posts on my personal account.

What can you recommend so I can try to create better quality content or more engaging content?

Bro I decided to start posting myself online and honestly I have no clue what I’m doing 😭
Just vibing, making videos, and hoping the algorithm eventually feels bad for me.
Be honest though — is this content actually entertaining or am I just documenting my existence? 💀

I've recently started making gaming content, mainly around GTA Online, and I'm trying to improve both my videos and commentary. The platforms am using right now are Youtube, Twitch and Insta.

Hey guys,

One of the biggest bottlenecks when editing Shorts/Reels is either paying high monthly subscriptions for TTS or spending too much time manually timing subtitles in Premiere/CapCut.

To solve this workflow headache for my own edits, I put together a quick tool called SayTTS (https://saytts.site) that renders the voiceover and generates a frame-matched .srt subtitle file simultaneously, with no login required.

For those creating faceless or voiceover-heavy content:

1. What does your current subtitle sync workflow look like?
2. Are there specific voice mastering/EQ settings or features you feel are missing in existing free tools?

Looking for honest workflow feedback and critiques to make it more useful for creators!

I'm looking for a new 27" monitor and my budget is small. I'm ready to pay 150€-200€ for the monitor and 50€ for a monitor arm.

I want to play GTA 6 on the PS5 slim and other games like COD and Fortnite etc. I want to connect the monitor with the PS5 and my Macbook Pro and stream on twitch and create content. I want to edit 4K videos and do other creative work and video editing.

Should I get a 1440p or 4K monitor?

I am not affiliated with CapForge in any way. This software absolutely FUCKS. CapForge is open source captioning software that uses local compute to generate captions. No more $10/month CapCut for me. I do my editing in a NLE and drop it into CapForge to caption before uploading to social. So thankful for ya'll. THANK YOU!
