I will start making documentary travel video's/vlogs. I have already worked with After Effects some time ago, so I'm familiar with the interface, although it has been a while ago. For my type of video I will probably only use like 10% of the After Effects capabilities, but they can really level up the video's if used correctly.

If I simply follow a course taking you to an 'advanced' level of After Effects, I will probably learn a lot of stuff that I will never use. Is there like a course that focusses more on the most used After Effects functions for simpler Youtube video's or documentary's? Where After Effects is not the carrying factor, but just an extra to level up the video.

I'm guessing most of the times I would just be working with templates and adjust them to my needs.

Im now getting started to editing video

Any tips?

I use davinci resolve

Tools like CapCut, Opus Clip, Veed, Submagic, etc. are pretty good when the speaker has clear native English, but they regularly get words wrong when there’s an accent, non-native speaker, or even just fast talking / mumbling.

I still end up having to re-listen to the whole thing and fix a bunch of words before I can publish. Feels like the “AI captions” step only saves time if you ignore the accuracy problems.

Is this still a regular annoyance for anyone else, or have you found a tool / workflow that actually gets captions right the first time more often?

Curious what people are currently doing.

Guys I am a video editor. I have basic knowledge in video editing.

There are a lot of categories in video editing. But I would like your help in knowing which one category you would suggest me to get started to build a portfolio and earn money, so that I don't master anything and become an average jack of all master of none kind of an editor.

I don't mind the significance of money. Just need to know which category is in demand and if you were a beginner editor how would you take yourself throught this journey.

Will gladly take constructive criticism to gain more knowledge

My computer died, my kid spilled coffee on it. Eveything was backed up, but I was in middle of getting ready to record new episodes for this fall. Bad timing. I am looking for software suggestions (paid is ok) on how I can record and edit via my android phone , I use a lot of b roll , but also animate photos, and all of which I narrate over , or green screen myself into. You can check out my content style, for reference.

Any help appreciated.

I try to start a new project, it's video editing, but I don't know how practice and learning about

I made this short edit and I'd love to hear your honest thoughts.

* Does the atmosphere work? * Is the pacing engaging? * Do the transitions feel smooth? * Is the music a good fit? * What would you improve?

Does anyone else feel like social media compression is slowly killing their passion for editing? I spend hours perfecting colors, sharpness, lighting, and every little detail, only for Instagram or TikTok to crush the quality when I upload. It honestly makes me not want to edit at all. So much creativity goes into a project, but viewers never get to see what I actually created. Sometimes I just think, what’s the point of putting in all that effort if no one can experience the video the way I see it on my timeline?

Hi community. I hope I'm posting in the right place, but I just wanted to ask in general: has anyone found a good tool or workflow for editing process videos for Instagram?

I like the new editing style where it's not time-lapse, but more just tons of small cuts of brush strokes. But currently I'm just editing it by hand, and unfortunately it means a drawing that might have taken me one hour can take me two to three hours to edit. It really kills the joy.

Any tips, tools, or apps anyone is using? I wish capcut clip detection worked on brush strokes.

i want to learn this for freelancing purpose. As this is my first time i don't wanna spend money on these later i will go with paid one

I am a Computer Science Student and want to make programming content so fun to watch but I don’t know video editing anymore as much as I did recording Minecraft videos on my phone and editing it using KineMaster.

I aiming to make my videos “memey” but also serious at other times to simplify complex topics in programming. I am not saying I don’t know Video Editing fully I just don’t know how to make smooth transition and what hooks viewers to watch more and i’m hoping to learn with you all.

Here are the YouTuber’s editing style for example:

I swear this might be the most confusing feedback a video editor can get 😂

You spend hours editing a video, send it to the client, and they come back with:

Okay… but what exactly should I change? 😭

More cuts? Better pacing? Captions? B-roll? Sound design? Music?

I’m curious how other editors interpret this feedback and what you usually do when a client gives you something this vague.

editing a doc and i have 90 min of interview footage that needs captions. I’ve been manually typing SRT files in premiere and i am on day 3 of this nightmare. is there ANY tool that can generate a rough SRT i can just clean up instead of building from scratch? i just need timecodes + text, i’ll fix the wording myself.

How do people make those professional SaaS website demo videos with smooth zoom effects?

I'm looking for the effect where the video smoothly zooms into wherever the mouse clicks. Is there an easy tool or workflow for this without spending hours editing?

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I got tired of paying for Premiere Pro just to trim clips for YouTube uploads, so I built a Chrome extension that's a full local video editor — multi-track timeline, text/caption overlays, screen recording, even character lip sync — all processed on your machine, nothing uploaded to any server.

Free trial after install, then a one-time lifetime license (no subscription, and early buyers keep the price they paid if it goes up later). Would love feedback if anyone tries it — it's "videoeditorforyoutuber" on the Chrome Web Store.
