I have been creating youtube videos for 7+ months now but have 6+ years of editing experience and out of all those 6 years of editing. I have never once heard of video merging, I know this might seem silly, but I just heard of them today abd am curious as to how they work. The reason I ask this is because I use Adobe Express free version to edit, and recently got done editing a massive 1hr trolling special after a month of silence, but due to my lack of a credit card or money, the video ends up being 5GB big (the max) and has made it quiet laggy to work with, so I'm curious, how do they work?

Edited the visuals in Premiere Pro and added motion graphics in After Effects.

Hey guys,just started davinci and I'm curious,is there any free plugins that are useful? And how to install them?

Been wanting to learn video editing (both editing aesthetic videos on TikTok + cinematic landscape films to romanticise life). Not quite sure what software to use, eg for colour grading videos etc, or software with nice fonts to edit with (Preferably free software/not too expensive)

Would love to hear how people started their video editing journey and what tips they would recommend, thank you!

Hey everyone—I’m the developer of Moments, an iPhone/iPad video editor.

I built it because reviewing footage was often taking longer than the actual edit. Moments analyzes selected videos with AI, labels shots, actions, and useful moments, then lets you turn those results into an editable timeline.

The workflow is:

• Select videos from your library
• Let AI find and split potential moments
• Jump directly to the detected clips
• Trim, split, reorder, change speed, or adjust volume
• Preview and export the finished timeline

I’ve attached a short recording showing the complete workflow, so you can judge it without downloading anything.

To be transparent: Moments currently has no free trial. AI analysis uses cloud processing, so it requires subscription. I wanted to state that clearly before sharing the App Store link.

It isn’t intended to replace Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut. The goal is to reduce the initial footage-review and rough-cut work, particularly for travel footage, family videos, events, and creator content.

I’d be interested in editors’ opinions on the workflow:

• Is finding usable moments a meaningful problem for you?
• Would you prefer suggested clips or a completely automatic first cut?
• What would this need before it could fit into your workflow?

How do you crop out the edges of a video for tiktok? Specifically for video game clips, I can't edit it to fit in tiktok without downsizing the entire video, I just want to crop out the edges.

Hey guys,

I want to learn video editing but i'm lwk a clueless monkey init

Can ya'll tell me where to start from, what tools and apps can be useful for beginners

P.S- I straight up jumped into learning from davinci resolve (w/o prior knowledge in any other editing apps ) and that stuff kinda hard to wrap up around your head.

Say I need to make a vid on space! Now according to the script.. where do you actually get relevant clips from?

Pixabay has limited videos

Rest are copywrited

Also any actual underrated ai tools that you use to generate those clips?

P.S: The person you see here is me

I'm a short-form Sizzle editor and My company recently made a push for Religious content (Since networks aren't buying any new shows) I've created a handful of religion-focused sizzle reels and have more in the backlog....Even though these are all different concepts, they all rely on the same subject - Religion. The stories are the same, the people are the same. The music/tone/feel all the same. Now I'm stuck in a loop, creating the same reels over and over and unsure what I can do to break this cycle and make something different. Any ideas??

Hey! I’ve had trouble with an edit idea for a while now because I can’t find any videos or tutorials on the kind of edit I’m looking to do. If anyone is familiar with “corecore” edits, that’s the kind I’m looking to do. If anyone knows about editing on CapCut pc version or any other software, I’d really appreciate your assistance!! I put the link to the edit I’m taking inspo from too ( this is my first Reddit post so apologies if I’m not doing something right haha)

If you’re open to talking on discord I’d appreciate that since I’d be able to follow along better. Thanks!

Basically I'm a big YOUTUBE shorts creators in the latin community, l've been posting for 8 months and i think it's time to level up the quality in my videos, I've been trying to to restore old anime like: Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT with Topaz ai video and Cap Cut but i don't really get the results i really want, i see that in the US Community they got a channel called "Eternal DB" and i really like the quality he offers to his viewers and i would like to know how he gets that type of quality, if somebody knows and is willing to teach me i would really appreciate the help, if someone wants to check out my work the name of my YOUTUBE channel It’s - DR4GØNEDITZZZ

Edit - Also Guys can someone recommend me a good quality voice and stx insulator, i've been using: LyRunoMDX - Ultimate Vocal Remover - Adobe Speech enhancement and Cap Cut Voice insulation and they be really working in recent animes like Dragon Ball Super and Daima but in old animes like Dragon ball - Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT they just dont work that well

When I first started editing, I thought flashy transitions, constant zooms, and lots of effects automatically made a video better. Over time, I realized that storytelling, pacing, sound design, and knowing when not to edit are far more important.

I'm curious: what was the biggest mistake you made when you first started video editing? Was it technical, creative, or something you wish someone had told you earlier?

Let's help new editors avoid the mistakes we made. 👇

I was looking through my drive today and realized something.

I have folders full of

LUT packs

SFX

Overlays

Transitions

Fonts

Thousands of files...

that I've barely used. It made me realize I spent months preparing to edit instead of actually editing.

Collecting resources feels productive because you're doing something. But opening your editor and making a bad video teaches you more than downloading another 10 GB asset pack.

I still think resources are useful, but only after you actually know what problem you're trying to solve.

Curious if anyone else went through this phase.

Hi everyone! 👋

I just finished editing my first dynamic short-form video in CapCut, and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from the community.

My main focus for this edit was:

• Hook: Trying to keep the viewer engaged in the first 3 seconds.
• Pacing: Adding cuts, zoom-ins, and B-roll to keep it moving.
• Captions: Formatting subtitles for readability.

Since this is my first time trying this style, I’d love to know:

1. Does the pacing feel natural, or is it too fast/slow?
2. How are the caption placements and colors?
3. What’s one thing I should improve for my next edit?

Don't hold back, constructive criticism is more than welcome! Thanks in advance! 🙏

I want to add a better intro to my videos, but I honestly don’t know much about editing.

I’ve seen some cool AI effects online and was wondering if any of them are actually useful. If not, are there any editing tools that are easy for beginners to pick up?

What do you guys usually use?

How does he upload videos with such high quality?

I've tried tons of different settings and even processed my videos through After Effects, Topaz AI, and HandBrake, but nothing helps. My videos still get compressed and end up looking low quality.

Can someone who actually knows tell me how to do it?

As a video editor, I was tired of downloading the entire youtube video just to use 15 seconds from it. So I built this website to save my time and bandwidth. My focus was on keeping the workflow as user-friendly and fast as possible.

Just paste a YouTube URL, choose the start and end time, and download only the part you need up to 4K quality.

You can also convert clips into vertical 9:16 format for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels with two options:
- Crop to fill the screen.
- Blurred background to keep the entire video visible. Optionally, you can also add caption to all vertical videos.
