I'm creating a shot film and there are two scenes where character A talks disrespectfully to a superior being only to be interrupted in a middle of a swear word by character B who apologizes for character A's disrespect. I tired making normal, J and L cuts but nothing really fits perfectly. Any tips on making these interruptions more natural and good looking? Is there any rule of thumb I should follow?
What effect is this and how could I recreate it?
I am referring to the glowing lines looking effect.
The link brings you automatically to the time stamp and the effects lasts about 1 second.
I have a very long image but i want to use it as a chart on capcut. And i want to make it as a video from up and then sliding down automatically until it reaches the bottom
Hi, does anyone know how to get this smooth text effect animation (im not asking about glow effect)

I don't know if that's the best way to describe them... like the silly memes you see where someone's head is placed on a cartoon character and tracks thru video for a joke....I've used photoshop to do it in simple gifs but that's far from ideal. Been a long time since I've played around with video editing stuff...even then was mostly just little fun things using after effects and iMovie.
I'm wondering if After Effects is the way to go with this kind of thing...I'm not needing it to look "good" since it's just jokey meme stuff..I have an old version....or has this kind of thing become the provicne of more specialized apps or even webapps?
Wondering how I can utilize an effect that would normally be applied with 2D video editing but to the environment of a 360º video.
I want to edit a 360 video to have an ASCII effect, but I can only find tutorials on how to create that effect on a 2D video. Is there a way to translate 2D video effects to 360º videos? Or if someone knows how to do ASCII for 360 videos and could explain?
Lastly, I tried finding a subreddit for video editing, specifically for 360º videos, but couldn't find anything. If anyone knows if there's a place like that that would be better suited to this question, that would also be appreciated.
I currently have Amazon Photos, which works great for, well... photos, but it puts a cap on the amount videos you can save and I've far exceeded it. I'm looking for an affordable main video storage solution for all of my videos. Any suggestions?
There's this very simple thing I'd like to do for a video: a little guy I drew is supposed to light up when it detects audio, and I know going though syncing it manually isn't the smart way to do it, since there's ought to be a technique that makes it for me automatically like in all those hour long podcasts, such as the early episodes of Distractible for instance! :)
I use Vegas 17 Pro.
The original video with edits made was 9:16. I replaced the video with one shot 16:9. Is there any way to make the edits (mostly text) adjust along to the changed format without having to do it manually.

HIYA YOU COOL SMART EDITORS, YOU!
I'm on the hunt for a new editor.
Notes:
-someone who can trim the fat from an unbiased eye (not body fat retouching, just the boring fat from the vids ;))
-Understands my humor and editing style. Please send me your work
-Won't judge or share anything in the videos such as me yelling at my sister or picking my nose
-I have a mix of things I always need to have edited
-long form youtube videos. I went to the Grammys, I went to a movie premier, etc
-short form reels / tiktoks unboxing etc. The footage for these comes in around 10~ minutes, which a lot of it is dead air
Looking to hire asap. My man ran off because of a death in his family. We send our thoughts and prayers but now I need the thoughts and prayers!
What I've been paying him:
$26/hr for the vlogs (it varies, but 4-6 hours of work most likely)
$100 flat for 4 shorts
We can negotiate, I dont have MUCH wiggle room, but as a model / actress / content creator for all my life, I respect you and your time and I hate to low ball anyone. I know this is thrown around in the industry, but if your edit is what I want, you will have steady work. Pinky promise.
Here are some examples of my vids!

Hello,
I'm new to this but recently got an opportunity that requires me to step up my game so I'm about to buy new hardware for video editing. I edit screen recordings mostly from YouTube. I have been screen recording from my Samsung Galaxy S23 and have the YouTube video quality set to 1080p Premium. I have been trying to research how to get the best quality screen recording.
Will buying a laptop with a 4k display give me better results or is that overkill since the videos I'm screen recording on YouTube max out at 1080p Premium? Will an UHD screen be ok? Is there another program I should try using to screen record instead of the Samsung standard? I tried the pro version of AZ Screen Recorder with maxed out settings but I didn't notice any difference on my phone.
My new client wants vertical 16:9 videos for their social media but the quality always goes down with my current approach.
Thank you so much for your help and I apologize for the long post.
So, this is odd, but for this scene, my character picks up the chair and humps it. The only thing is these drawers are missing and continuity has established that the doors are there. I can't crop it without ruining the shot and I can't reshoot it. Is there any possible way I can take the doors on the left and put them on the right? I also know After Effects.

Hello,
I have a short film I'm prepping to send to my colorist and he requested an EDL (first time doing this). I used Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence to sync multiple video/audio files within each scene so I can edit the short. But was told he needs to original files and the sync files won't work. I tried clicking around and googling a solution but no luck. And the only thing I can think of that I don't want to do is manually replacing each synced clip.
How do I replace the full res (4k) media on my timeline instead of the synced clips?
I can't seem to add my screenshots or screen-recording so I added them to a google drive folder if it helps to see the timeline and settings.
Thank you!
Hi, I'm new to reddit and video editing but I would love some help, I hope I posted in the right thread, still learning.
What video effect is used in Beyonce's FYWB video? It seems like a stop motion effect or maybe just sped up? I'm not too sure but I would love to use it for my videos that I'm working on. Thanks so much. Looking forward to learning more on this platform.
Here is the YT link to the video for reference: https://youtu.be/Su5uyZhzaNY?si=Q8qEmDZ-EmjtAzLL

Just like system cameras serve us videos with amazing quality I still can’t figure out how to post high quality videos on Instagram.
The quality of videos shot by phones almost always look wayyyy better than videos shot by a camera. I did read that apps such as Instagram and TikTok etc. can’t comprehend too high of quality videos etc. But I have seen some amazing high quality cinematic videos uploaded on instagram without the quality being reduced. Mine always gets incredibly pixelated AND IT MAKES ME CRAAAZY!!!
How do they do it?
Went to record audio for a video I'm making and it blew the volume up 1000x.
The issue is that now for everything else my mic is super loud, sounds terrible, and has a static noise in the background.
It's not a bad mic and it used to sound really good in my old video editor/discord etc but now it sounds way to loud and terrible everywhere. I can't seem to fix it. Any ideas?
I have a ton of B-roll footage that I’d like to create random collages with, and hopefully be able to create new ones regularly and easily. Looking for any ideas. (Sorry if I didn’t use the right flair)
So I'm currently making a video series from my summer travels last year and I've gotten pretty reliant on narration, but I've run into a few issues due to my cheap recording setup. In the past I've written the script as I improvised the video structure leading to me recording lines at different times, but for some reason there is a noticeable difference in sound between recordings and it's quite jarring. This might be down to my voice being marginally different on seperate days - I'm not entirely sure.
For my next video, I want to plan ahead and have a whole script written so I can do the narration recording in one go and put it in the video after the main editing is done. The problem is, I'm struggling to progress the video without the narration being there due to my improvisational workflow. So how do I know how big the gaps for narration should be? Do I record temporary voice clips for these gaps, so I can replace them later on with the final recordings? Really been struggling and would appreciate a bit of advice.
TLDR: How do I edit a video with narration before I have the narration?
Hello, I am trying to figure out how to edit this style of videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR1XpfZOab0&ab_channel=MetaMask ) - basically take out a "card" or "text" out of a screen recording, enlarge it to emphasise it for the viewer and then "put it back." Also, how do I rotate it or put it on an angle etc.? Thank you very much!
Basic 10x speed-up anno 2070 gameplay is painful to watch. Increasing framerate helps, but not enough. Blur (except motion blur, because i use kdenlive and can not do that) and microsoft hyperlapse have considerable drawbacks. I am quite new to this area, so any advice would be helpful.
Hey guys, maybe one year ago I've seen an instagram reel, but I forgot to save it. They talked about a cool website where a lot of video effects and techniques from movies and music videos are explained with direct examples etc. Anyone know the name of this website? thx :)
Hi, bit of a newbie to the editing world. Got myself a Hero 10, but want to move away from the quik app due to its limitations. Downloaded Video Proc Vlogger and imported some of my clips Had maybe 30 secs worth over 4 clips and the audio was drifting out of sync Clips were shot at 2.7K 60fps Haven't touched anything in the way of settings so just wondering is there a simple fix for this that I'm missing?
Cheers!
I had been making this multi-hour-long video and have been very careful to only use commercially available tracks in it, now for whatever reason nearly all of the tracks have suddenly become non-commercially available.
I contacted customer service about this issue and they said that the new update had some new "strict compliance rules" and now nearly all of their once commercially available tracks ars now non commercially available.
I had 62 favorited songs all of which were commercially available, you wanna guess how many are still commercially available? 4, that's it!
Yes I know no one is surprised filmora would do something like this, and I probably shouldn't of used filmora in the first place yeah its just the easiest platform for me to use, I tried davinci once but I couldn't even figure out how to put my recordings in there lol.
I can't believe they would roll out such a drastic change without even informing users! I'm mostly concerned that my previously uploaded videos (that featured these once commercially available tracks) will now be flagged or demonetized for having these tracks.
Has any other filmora users noticed this change? I'm really starting to reconsider using Filmora AT ALL after this, I know they had a history of being very flippy floppy with their rules but this just seems malicious to me like their out to try to strike old videos with these songs.
I feel like this move was intentionally deceptive and scummy so I'm just informing you guys about this and asking if this is just a me issue or if anyone knows why this happened. I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet.
Hey guys, I am a beginner video editor
Recently I have done one website landing page video
Then I got some suggestions for this video to change
One of the suggestions I can't understand. Which is " Reducing the speed of my last 2 videos by 2/3 percent "
I know how to reduce speed but I couldn't understand that " 2/3percent "
Can anyone tell me what this means?
I am brand new to video editing. I just started using iMovie on my Mac yesterday. How can I get coloring or filtering like in the following video? Thanks,

I have some videos saved in my camera roll on my phone and they are saved at 240p which shows them a bit blurry and I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to make them clearer, like at 720p and/or up. Anything helps.
Hello. I am trying to turn a longer video from B&W to color throughout the duration of the video itself (Video starts B&W, slowly turns into full color) on my iPhone.
CapCut has this feature but it only last for about 3 seconds and I cannot slow it down further.
I was wondering if there was any app that offers this or any method that can help?
Thanks!

hello, any help about how this effect was created or can be replicated would be very helpful!
Hi ! For a videoclip, I'm looking for a stock shot of a scorched and ashy landscape, a kind of landscape few month after summer conflagration. The shot must be a lateral tracking shot, travelling from the rear window of a moving car. Have you ever find this kind ? Any ideas where to find this? Thanks à lot fellow editors !
"Does anyone know of any free iPhone apps that have the same features as Beatleap?"
