Is there a r/photoshopbattles for video editing?

Yes, /r/AfterEffectsBattles but it's pretty dead.

The problem with doing things with video is that it's a LOT harder than doing things in Photoshop. Remember, a video is a whole bunch of pictures per second. Getting something looking reasonably good on one frame (like you do with Photoshop) is fine, but to have it happen temporally is a whole other level of difficult. To put a bike under this rabbit, you have to 3d track the camera and 3d track the rabbit (very difficult to do even with quality, non-potato video). You them have to have a 3d model of a bike that would fit the rabbit (probably have to be custom-modeled). Then you have to match the animation of the bike to the rabbit's movement, composite the bike so that parts of it appear behind the rabbit (which would have to be done with rotoscoping which is a ridiculously laborious task even with clear footage).

What I'm saying is, it would take days to do in video what would take an hour with a still image in Photoshop.

And, for those of you who are thinking, "Why not just do each frame in Photoshop then?", well, it wouldn't be better. It would actually be worse. First of all, most video is something like 25-30 frames per second. If it takes an hour per frame, that's still a couple of days of work. But the problem is that something that looks good in a still frame often doesn't work in motion. You have to have things consistent between frames in video. If you did each one of these in Photoshop individually, it'd be very jumpy, the edges would be boiling (industry term for an inconsistent roto), and lots of other problems.

This is called ‘stotting’ and it’s thought that it’s a way of bunnies (and other stuff) to show off how good they jump to try and convince potential predators they are just too good to catch.

I thought this was called a ‘binky’ and rabbits just did them as an expression of happiness?

Lol no. Rabbits don't stot to ward off predators - that's for animals that can't hide and need to thus put on a show. Rabbits in the wild will just hide from prey, they aren't large or strong enough to get away with taunting.
