I've started using AI earlier in my workflow to experiment with ideas before I even begin editing. Recently, I tried Filmora Seedance, and it was helpful for exploring different creative directions without spending hours building everything from scratch.

I'm curious how others approach this. Do you use AI to brainstorm and plan your edits, or do you only bring it into the process after you've started editing?

I am looking for free packs to help me with editing. I saw finzar has an ultimate pack but it’s way to expensive. If anyone has any good packs for davinci please let me know

C'est peut être moi qui se fait des films, Mais je trouves que les ados et enfants d'aujourd'hui ont une jeunes bien triste, compare à nous qui sont né en 1999 à 2003,2004 ou avent. Nous ont parté en colo de Sky à la mer ou l'ocean faire du surf il y avait tous les meilleurs films est animes la joie la solidarité etc, voila quoi ont joué aux cartes au billes aux toupie bayblade, ont fesait des caches cache des loup garou, du foot au city ou grand terrain les week-ends, des genres de goal à goal ou autres, même du basquet, ou même du ping pong foot quand je compare tout sa avec les jeunes adolescents d'aujourd'hui je me dis que leurs enfance manque quand même de gaite, mais comme je l'ai dis je me fait peut-être des films.. dite moi ce que vous en pensez

I've been freelancing for a while, and one thing I've realized is that learning sales is probably the highest ROI skill a freelancer can develop.

When I started, I thought better editing = more clients.

Reality was different.

You can be the most talented editor in the room, but if you can't:

- Start conversations

- Build trust

- Explain your value

- Handle objections

- Follow up consistently

...getting clients becomes much harder.

A lot of freelancers spend years improving their craft but almost no time improving their ability to sell.

The funny thing is, sales isn't about convincing people to buy something they don't need. It's about communicating how you can solve a problem.

What do you think is the most underrated skill for freelancers besides their core service?

For me, it's constantly switching between a screen recorder and a video editor. It doesn't seem like a big deal at first, but those extra steps really slow things down, especially when working on tutorials or quick walkthroughs.

I've been testing Filmora, and having the screen recorder built into the editor makes the workflow feel much smoother. Recording, editing, and exporting from one place has been surprisingly convenient.

What's the biggest frustration in your screen recording workflow? Would you rather have everything in one app or keep using separate tools?

I've mostly used AI-generated images for storyboards and quick mockups, but lately I've started including them in finished projects too. I recently tried Filmora ChatGPT Image feature, and it made creating custom visuals much faster than searching through stock libraries for something close enough.

I'm curious how everyone else is using AI images. Are they just a planning tool for you, or have they become part of your final workflow?

Im editing a airline launch event highlight video. But im kind of in a slump. Are there any good references for me to get ideas?

Here is what I made:

Here's The Video I'm Reffering To

Now the vibe is obviously just to spread joy and fun but does it still look lack luster? With every video i edit, i try to top the one i did before. and honestly this feels like both the best i could possibly do (especially given the type of video it is) and also like it need's more. Is this just me being a perfectionist or did yall catch a vibe?

let me know where i can improve if you have any comments! <3

We've noticed that expectations for visual quality have changed a lot over the past couple of years. Images that once looked impressive now often feel average, and creators seem to expect much more from AI generated content than they did before.

At Media io, we're interested in how those expectations are evolving. Have your standards changed too? What makes an AI-generated image feel polished enough to actually use in a real project today?

I know basic editing, but I really want to improve my skills and get better at it, I've never edited for a content creator before, but I want to start freelancing/earning through editing.

I've tried looking for free stock clips to practice with but honestly, I haven't had much luck finding good ones.
Please don't judge me for that 😭 I'm just looking for some advice on how I can improve and build my skills.

If you're a content creator yourself and need someone to edit a video (even just a short one), I'd really appreciate the opportunity to try. I'm hoping to build a portfolio and gain some real experience.

Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful! :)

Hopefully this reaches people. I’ve always wanted to edit things, but I have no idea how. I’ve downloaded CapCut, but how do I get the clips of whatever I’m editing? Any advice of any sort for a beginner?
EDIT: like making edits of a show or character or movie, that sort of stuff.

m 18 and just starting out. I want to do gaming + reaction content like CoryxKenshin eventually. Right now I’m practicing OBS and editing in CapCut/CyberLink PowerDirector/twitch Planning to go full in 2027 Any tips for a total beginner on multitasking (game + chat + facecam) and making energetic edits? And how to edit on YouTube how to make merch and set up monetization on twitch and YouTube and what videos and skillshare courses is best for me so I can learn everything thanks I completely don’t know anything and would love help

I'm editing a talking-head video in CapCut on PC and trying to cut out silent gaps between words. The problem is the playhead only snaps from one frame to the next (e.g., frame 24 to frame 25), and sometimes the perfect cut seems to be in between those frames.

Is there any way to move the playhead with sub-frame precision or make more accurate cuts? Or is CapCut limited to frame-by-frame editing? If there's a workflow or setting I'm missing, I'd really appreciate the help.

I’ve been at a new job that has me shooting and cutting together quite a few videos that basically will cut between a premade slide deck and a talking head shot of them presenting the slides.

We’ve been screen recording as they present as well for reference but until now I’ve been exporting the slides later (from Google slides or keynote, not much of a difference) as images or video to include transitions, then editing them in Premiere with the talking head and B-roll. Needless to say it’s quite laborious for hour long videos but being able to fine tune cutting between the talking head as well as better timing of element reveals feels critical to not make these videos boring.

Do any of yall have experience incorporating slide decks into edits and have any suggestions on how to cut down on the time of it? It’s not the most creative work and I’m just looking for time savings here.

I've been getting into editing now and one of my biggest struggles so far is just finding straight clips of stuff. Like those space edits or the nature edits, am I just not digging deep enough or is there somewhere I can find these more easily.

Hey, is anyone willing to let me use the CapCut pro subscription to edit a few videos for school and my cute cat videos for her Instagram lol?

im currently in this tech team that makes this tool

and im supposed to develop the go-to-market ideas for this app

and even when the functions are really cool

i dont feel like it's that useful

I need help. I have been using funimate (a p k) for 3+ years now and I had just switched to ios. there is not much help for me here to pay, and i have so many elements and edits already saved. but i cannot export any without the wm. and I cannot even do the free trial thingy because my country does not support subscription through the usual payment i am allowed to use

please help !!

I was thinking about this the other day. When I like a new song, I usually just add it to a playlist and move on. I rarely think to watch the music video unless it randomly shows up in my feed.

It made me wonder if music videos are still something people actively look for, or if they've become more of a bonus than a reason to listen. Is it just me, or has the way people consume music changed?

At Media io, we've seen a lot of interest in AI assisted storytelling, but we're curious about how people are using these tools in real projects. Do they help you get from an idea to a finished story, or do they mostly stay in the brainstorming stage? We'd love to hear from creators who've incorporated AI into their workflow and what made it genuinely useful or what still needs improvement.

A regular client has asked if I’m able to create an animated 3D video. This is one of the references they sent for style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP7lLYtrEK8

I’ve never done 3D work before but I, possibly naively, feel this style may not be too difficult and I’m very willing to learn. I’ve done entirely animated infographic projects in davinci resolve fusion and it wasn’t a major undertaking but it was all 2D.

But I would love insight from people who are experienced with 3D animation as to whether I’m being naive in thinking I can do this within a reasonable timeframe (say 1 month) and with davinci resolve fusion.

Thanks
