I am editing a podcast and I need a caption generator under budget - any recommendations?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently editing a podcast and am looking for a reliable subtitle generator. I need something that can help me quickly add accurate subtitle without much manual editing.

I've tried a few free options, but they aren’t as accurate as I’d like. Would love any suggestions for budget-friendly or free tools that you guys have had success with

New to Video Editing and Looking for AI Recommendations.

Hey everyone! I’m pretty new to the world of video editing, and I’ve been exploring different ways to make my editing workflow more efficient and creative. Recently, I started using Wui.AI, and I have to say, it’s been pretty impressive for automating some of the heavy lifting in editing my content.

But now, I’m curious to see what else is out there. Are there any other AI-based editing platforms you’d recommend that work just as well as (or better than) Wui.ai? I’m looking for tools that can help with everything from cutting clips to adding effects seamlessly.

Superman and Lois Scenepacks

I’ve been looking over a year for Superman and Lois season 2 scenepacks and no one seems to have any.

I was wondering if anyone knew any accounts that had season 2 or if there is an easy way to get them without using virus loaded sites. Or if there are any editors who plan to make season 2 scenepacks, it would be great if you could let me know. I will of course follow and credit.

How to Create a Product Video Without the Actual Product?

Hi everyone! I'm working on a video for a product that I don’t have physically, and I only have access to some commonly used videos and images of it. Since using the same content could increase my CPM, I want to make something unique. Does anyone know if AI tools could help create a new, original-looking video from these existing assets? I’d love recommendations on specific AI tools or techniques that could help generate fresh visuals or enhance the content I already have. Thanks a lot!

Please just tell me how do I learn to do the first 5 seconds of this video intro?

https://youtu.be/ElspqCcCpvY?si=_qP3ZMjTL4FQgL_O

I cannot afford any paid application like after effects. I do regularly use davinci resolve and Canva. If someone can tell me any keywords or a tutorial for how to emulate this in any one of these two applications. Or any other free software.

Reflections on YouTube to MP3 Tools: Ad-Supported vs. Clean Donation-Based Options

A Quick Rundown on YouTube to MP3 Converters (for Regular Users like Me) 🎧

After testing a bunch of YouTube to MP3 converters, I noticed that most tools fall into two main categories. Here’s my experience with each if you’re also converting regularly:

1. Ad-Supported Tools 💸

These are super common and usually free to use, but beware—you’re in for a wall of ads. Many of these sites are notorious for pop-ups, hidden redirects, and even malware risks. So yeah, they’re free, but it’s a trade-off.

Pros:

  • Free to use
  • Easy to access

Cons:

  • Tons of ads (some super intrusive)
  • Potential for malware or unwanted downloads

2. Clean, Donation-Supported Tools ♻️

These ad-free options rely on donations from users (think “Buy Me a Coffee”). Examples like Y2Mate, Y2Mic, and EzMP3 fall into this category, offering a much cleaner and safer experience. While they may not have all the features of premium tools, they’re a solid middle ground if you want something safe and user-friendly.

Pros:

  • No ads; super clean interface
  • Safer, more reliable experience

Cons:

  • Limited features without donations
  • Might have slower speeds or usage caps

Final Thoughts

If you’re after a trustworthy and hassle-free experience, donation-supported tools are definitely the way to go. They’re cleaner, safer, and way less frustrating to use. I highly recommend these for a better, stress-free experience with YouTube to MP3 conversions!

Hope this helps anyone else looking for a reliable converter!

Can somoene help me with editing audio in Davinci Resolve?

I hope this is the correct place to ask.

Im a new amateur video editor for a new amateur streamer, and I like it a lot, but I have been tryng to enhance her voice and Im sure that I can do it better than Im currenly doing.

I managed to make her voice louder and maybe more clear, thanks to some tutorials in youtube and some testing around, but I want her voice to sound a bit more nicer and smother as well, and Idk if the settings I used where the right ones for this specific voice

Then I go to audio effects and I added a voice chanel plugin with this settings:

Question about isolating moving objects in order to create green screen background

Hi. I want to know, is there some convenient or easier method, I would like to basically keep the moving vines in this clip, but make the background green so I can use this as a cool transition. I assume it's possible with masking and meticulous keyframe positioning for every single frame but I wondered if there's an easier method? I'm using Vegas but can try it in premiere if needed.

Can I remove the canon R5 wobble in post?

I am editing a feature film and am only now realizing we got the dreaded wobble on the r5. Is there any way to fix this or am I in trouble?

Side note: how has this been such a huge oversight for Canon. It feels like something that should have been patched ages ago for how much it affects the workflow.

Mobile editing app

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a powerful video editing app that offers similar capabilities to CapCut mobile. Unfortunately, due to current restrictions in India, CapCut isn't readily available even with a VPN. I'm hoping you can recommend some alternative video editing apps (android) that are accessible here and provide comparable features.

Portfolio question

I want to start working as a professional editor to earn money, but I don't have any clients or portfolio of my work. Based on all of your experiences, could reaching out to small creators and offering my services for free be a helpful & beneficial approach to addressing this issue? If not, can you all offer some good suggestions? (I already have experience on Adobe after effects)

Anyone know which crop percentage makes. 2.35:1 aspect ratio?

I’ve been shooting and cropping most of my short films to have a 2.35/2.39:1 aspect ratio in premiere pro and just cropping with an adjustment layer to 12.5% on the top and 12.5% on the bottom but it still seems a little too open, anyone have a formula or anything to follow?
