Hello everyone,

https://preview.redd.it/c2d2r222z08e1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a87c5e1c97fb7ca6c5f79b3ab90c8b8a587b5f4c

My son is a figure skater and he is working on his figure skating project. We just recorded his program and he is learning to edit it with davinci resolve. While he skates, he does this gesture to pick up a handful of snow from the ground and throw it to the air, and he is hoping to add an effect of thrown snow like that in this picture. We would very much appreciate it if someone can kindly explain how to add that effect. Thank you so much!

Hi everyone, I need help.

How would I move on in creating a video documentary about the situation of women in Afghanistan?

I'm having a hard time looking for plausible clips since this topic is more on the censored side of media. I already have a script for voice over but I'm not sure what to put as the actual video. It's for a school project and supposed to reach 10 minutes.

I'm also really lost on what editing style I should follow for this.

Thank you in advance!

Greetings /r/videoediting!

This thread is 100% for the other stuff you might want to talk about.

A number of other reddits have a free for all thread - where you might find a regular discussion - not specific to a post.

Think of it as a bar with a bunch of friends.

​

Some suggestions:

• Strategy on a project you want to talk about how to best promote?
• Upgrading something and you want opinions?
• How does your website look?
• Local/virtual Meetups?
• Looking for a collaborator (no "I'm a creator and I'm looking for an editor" posts)

​

Things that shouldn't go here: Feedback/What tool should I use to edit/Which system to buy? There are dedicated threads for this, please use them!

And in this regular Friday thread, while our general rules are still in place (no piracy, be civil, no links w/referrer codes), the following topics relaxed :

• Great tutorials you found/you created.
• Trying to do this as a side hustle (although generally, websites like Fiverr mean you'll be shooting for the basement/working for free and we hate that someone would exploit you like that*)*
• A great piece of software/hardware/service you found
• Great free music libraries/media you found.
• How much to charge? What is your time worth? Estimate 2-3x the time you think it'll take to edit as how much time to quote.

Our mod team is watching this thread and we'll tweak these as they develop!

Hi, i have added frames to a 60fps clip with flowframes. now i have this clip with 480fps and want to stretch it for a slowmotion effect back to 30/60fps. Filmora, the tool i'm working with, will cut my 480fps clip instant down to 60fps after importing. Are there tools specializes in stretching fps to slowmo?
ty in advance.

Hi, so I am trying to make a video for a school project and have recordings of my group members talking so far. I am completely new to video editing and so am using iMovie. How do I add images to a video like they are stickers? They don’t even need to be pinned to anything, I just want pictures to pop up on screen (not full screen, just on the screen like a sticker) in the video as a group member is talking about what’s in the picture. Is this possible with iMovie?

So last 2023 I tried to apply for online position for video editing. Although in the past I had few sideline for basic editing I am still a newbie compared to the capabilities of the Pro editors. But I committed myself to learning some video editing for social media. I have done unpaid test edit for some content creators but I always end up being ghosted. So last January 2024, I took a break at practicing because I felt so down that despite trying to learn for 12 hours for 1 month still got no employers to me. So I do not know what I was lacking. So just this month I decided to pursue again only it happened being ghosted after few conversations with potential employers. I am not sure if they got discourage to me since I do not have any previous experience. Although I showed my portfolio made out of test edits but still got no successful result. Applied for UGC and talking head and YT creators but unfortunately got no opportunities.

Can you help me

1. What is your advice?
2. What should I do to get position.
3. Now I am thinking to create a more appealing portfolio, But I don't have materials. Where should I go?
4. I wanted to enter real estate editing too but I got no materials.

Here is the sample of my video edit.

VEGAS PRO 22, Windows 11. PAID COPY:
While editing, suddenly, the GAIN slider, where you grab the blue dash, and pull it down, or back up... will stop working. Once it stopes. It also shows a ghost-track. A second audio track, where the blue Gain slider shows up, but can't be interacted with. This track can't be deleted. I've tried re-shooting entire segments, only to have it happen on the new file as well. The volume of these tracks, with broken Gain Sliders, are also loud and blown out.

Hi everyone, I'm a video editor planning to move to a different continent for a year and need advice on setting up remote editing.

My Plan:

I want clients (or a trusted contact) to plug an SSD with the footage into a device, which could be a Mac Mini or anything else with the right software. This device would automatically create proxies and send them to me online, allowing me to edit locally. When it’s time to render, I’d use the original files stored back home. I think Black Magic has something like that, but I don't know much about it.

Key Points:

• Any additional materials (music, animations, etc.) would need to be sent back home for final processing.
• I primarily use Premiere Pro and AfterEffects but am open to learning DaVinci Resolve if necessary.

Technical Specs:

• MacBook Pro (Apple Silicon)
• Project sizes: 250 GB to 1 TB

I made a graphic for better understanding:

Any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have a bunch of clips from back when I was shooting 720p/60, I'd like to use these in a 1080p timeline for a demo reel. What is the best way to upscale these inside Resolve? I was thinking adding a bit of grain over the image to hide the artifacts from up scaling. Or would putting it through Topaz Video ai be a batter option?

Hello all! Hoping this group could give me some clues but I am trying to host a video somewhere and I would love to be able to have a separate volume for background music and one for vocals only. The goal is for users to be able to adjust or mute background music or voices independently.

The only places I have seen this is on bigger fitness apps like peloton.

Any idea if that is possible as a smaller creator or do I need big funds?

Hey everyone! I run an online education company and am looking to offer my videos in different languages. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good websites or apps than can not only dub what I’m saying, but also change my lip movements to make it seem more natural. Thanks!!

Hello, I did a shoot last week and a few shots have a light rolling flicker from a neon light. I’ve tried the old technique of duplicating the footage, lowering the opacity to 50% and nudging it a frame or two and it hasn’t worked. I’ve downloaded a demo of a plug-in for premiere and that seems to be working, to license it is £150, before I do that I thought I’d ask if anyone knows a trick or a cheaper option.

Cheers!

If my editing computer is not powerful enough, can I use an external editing service? What is called CLOUD EDITING? Then I can use AE? PR?

So I am a noob video editor looking to start freelancing for 1-2 project for 2 months and using FCP on m1 air. Are these subscriptions like envato, motion vfx, motion array any good and worth it, if i just want to edit for youtube, that too starting from basic videos as i am still learning?

Can anyone share their experience with any subscription service?

Im part of a gift exchange for Christmas and need ideas to put on my wishlist lol. Only thing I really care about or want is things related to editing as that is my life.The budget is $25 so if anyone knows of any good plugins or tools for $25 or less any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you!

I edit a video using beginner apps/softwares and it goes from 1gb to 4.25 gb. Is there a way I could do it while maintaining the quality and the size?

I apologize if this is incredibly easy or asked a bunch. I searched the sub and none of the previously asked questions were quite what I'm wondering.

Is there an editing app or a real time app that can capture a persons facial movements but have it be a number of animated characters? Like the Memojis on iPhone?

Saw it on the episode of Tosh show when he had his son on.

So I've got an Instagram account with 50k followers and I want to up the production of my videos.

So the question I wanted to ask is - how do I create videos that are similar to accounts like MindsetVibrations (on Instagram) and VibeAndCreate.

Basically videos with a voice-over and B-roll. What tools would be best for this and if there's any YouTubers out there that create tutorials?

Thanks

Something about today's 16:9 filmed for IMAX Superman (2025) Official Teaser Trailer's cinematography seemed a bit off to me. Something about me finding the camera too close to the objects/persons in the foreground in certain shots. The way they're focused is taking me away from a cinematic feeling about it.

However, when I cropped the 16:9 filmed for IMAX trailer to 21:9 (linked below), all of my complaints about the cinematography vanish. Does anyone else see this too? Is it just that my eyes see 21:9 as epic and cinematic and 16:9 as TV and ordinary? Or is it something else?

Any recommendations for a program to cut songs to the beat of the music? I hope it's good, I use After Effects and it's very good, but I need another one to do the same thing.

The audio track has same FPS and sample rate as the original audio track yet it doesn't sync , it originally just needs delay by 33 seconds because the first part in video is not avaliable in the track , and it sync correctly for only some time then go out of sync ...
What do you suggest i should do ?
I have syned audio with videos before , i only used mkvtoolnix as i don't want to re-encode the original video ( however if encoding is the only choice i will do it).

Hi all,

I’m new here, so nice to meet you all!

I’m being contacted by a software company to create a 40 second video for them, including VFX, 3D Motion Graphics, and Sound effects. They have provided the voice over.

I came across this opportunity via someone at my gym who knows I’ve gone into this full time recently, not sure how advanced they believe I am.

How should I price this project? Considering it’s a software company and I’m relatively new to the game, and it’s only a 40 second video.

Thanks, Sammo.

Very basic user of Instagram here. Just post personal travel pictures normally.

This year I've been working on a difficult fitness routine. Especially to learn to do it with very good form.

🏋️ It took nearly a year and I've got video clips of the progress over time.

Goal: I'd love to combine a few videos of a specific exercise I'm happy to have mastered. To showcase gradual progress of my form. Like a 20-30sec clip. I have no idea where to start.

Is there an app of feature to make such a video? Any recommendations really appreciated.

TIA 🙏

Hi everyone, I'm new to video editing. Can you tell me how difficult it is to create this kind of edit ? Do I need specific software for it ? Do these types of effects have a particular name ?

In this case, I wanted to know if, for example, if there is a difference between MP4 and MOV in the final audio quality?

I work with music, and my priority is the final audio

Hey, my boyfriend and I was thinking about swatch my Razer computer for an iPad. We are content creators so we are always trying to improve our gadgets. We use mainly DaVinci Resolve. Any suggestions? It’s necessary to buy the last one?

I have some old 90’s camcorder footage that is pretty low quality, and I want to upscale to 1080 and ideally remove the grain / improve image quality to whatever degree possible.

I will be working on an M1 Macbook. Topaz is the go to but it’s very expensive for a one off project.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Topaz that will achieve decent results given the poor quality of the source. Eg a one month AVC Labs sub is much cheaper, is it decent? I’m not looking to send the files to anyone else.

I’d also like to make some minor edits and trim the files but no longer have access to Adobe Premiere - I suppose I could use iMovie for this for free essentially?

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes time to answer!
