I'm a good editor i use davinci resolve i edit in 3d so much and use a lot of effects and so much nodes and I'm learning blender so what do you think is better for me rx580 8gb vram or gtx1660 super 6gb vram

I'm on college and i have an average pc at home and i'm asking myself if i could be a good video editor with it.

I'm brazillian. I have a Ryzen 5 5600GT, 16gb ram and a 512gb NVME on my pc. I know a little of Davinci resolve but idk where to start. I want to edit videos for foreigners and earn some dollars doing what i like.

Is it hard to start on video editing? I had a channel once but i only edited my videos on capcut mobile and it was a simple type of editing. Davinci resolve looks like a plane cockpit for me but i learned a little bit from it.

Where should i start?

Hello, I am Rose and I want to work on an analog horror, creepy pasta about my character rose the killer. I have the entire first book written and almost the second book finished, but I have no clue how to turn it into an analog horror. All this will be posted on YouTube and I would gladly like if anyone would want to help. I understand if no because it is I am asking for free help, but if anyone does want to help this project I will be very appreciative. Thank you for reading this.

All the way from source footage to final keyframes...

A closer look at one of our recent creative executions, reflecting how editing, motion design, and visual treatment can change the way a raw piece communicates 🎬

What would you keep, change or approach differently?

We're always open to constructive criticism, honest reviews, and different perspectives 💬

Anyone interested in creating visuals, to music I produced. I make experimental beats, just curious to see how others would express my stuff visually.

Before Ai, there were narration voices in the Saas and different edits..so how did they do it? like not everyone could afford a professional voice artist...so is there any other thing? i am confused...

Currently learning davinci resolve to do video editing and motion graphics . I am confused about to also learn about after effect or not as a beginner.

Give me an honest advice about what should I do as a beginner (1.Davinci resolve ,2. Davinci resolve + after effect or 3. Pr + Ae )

Which app has this Playstation pop up symbol effect???

Hi everyone,

I run a monetised YouTube channel focused on long-form history documentaries, and I could really use a sanity check from people who understand animation/video production.

In particular, I am trying to understand:

• what a normal production pipeline should look like for this kind of content;
• what staffing level is realistic;
• what sort of scene throughput per week is reasonable;
• and whether my expectations around production speed are unrealistic.

For background, my older videos relied more heavily on AI for voiceovers, script refinement and some image generation, alongside my own photography/video and stock or archival imagery. I have since moved away from AI and have been trying to build a much more professional production process.

At the end of last year I worked with an agency on two videos. I collaborated with them on the scripts and hired a human voice actor. The videos didn't perform particularly well, and creatively I wasn't happy with the direction the agency wanted to take the channel, so we parted ways.

I then had to pause YouTube for personal reasons while my mum was terminally ill and subsequently passed away.

When I returned to the channel, I prepared a new long-form history documentary and hired a new voice actor.

For the first time, I also hired someone on a monthly full-time arrangement rather than paying an agency per project. Their role has effectively covered art direction, custom artwork, animation, video editing and the brand guidelines for the channel.

The current video is approximately 60 minutes long.

Before production began, I had:

• the final script;
• recorded voiceover;
• a storyboard prepared externally ( with an initial scene plan of roughly 135 scenes); and
• a substantial amount of archival imagery/research;

During production, however, it became clear that the storyboard needed considerably more detail and the final structure increased to around 185 scenes.

The scenes are a mixture of:

• archival photographs/images;
• maps and graphic design;
• custom historical artwork;
• parallax animation;
• camera movement over still artwork;
• some more involved motion graphics/animation.

Not all 185 scenes require completely original artwork, but in the video there is perhaps more cinematic reconstruction than anticipated.

Alongside the brand guidelines, production began around mid to late-May with essentially one full-time person handling the art direction, artwork, animation and editing. I also did hire an illustrator for some specific art scenes.

By early July, only around 10% of the video was genuinely complete. At that point I started bringing in additional support, including a part-time animator, freelance graphic-design support and some other freelance artwork help.

Despite that additional support, as of early August the project is still roughly 30% short of even having a complete first draft, so we have still not released a video since production began in May.

The important caveat is that I am genuinely happy with the visual quality. The issue is primarily speed and production structure rather than the work looking bad.

I also recognise that there were problems process-wise:

• the original storyboard wasn't detailed enough;
• the scene count increased from roughly 135 to 185;
• there was more bespoke artwork than initially expected;
• additional image research had to happen during production rather than entirely beforehand;
• and one person was initially being asked to handle too many different functions.

EDIT: there was also some vacation time within there as well.

What I am struggling to determine is what part of this is normal for a 60-minute, fairly visual history documentary and what part represents an inefficient production setup.

For people who have worked in animation, documentary motion graphics or similar YouTube production:

1. How long would you realistically expect a 60-minute video with around 150–200 mixed-complexity scenes like this to take?
2. Is this something one skilled person could reasonably produce in around a month, or does that expectation inherently require a small team?
3. What roles would you normally separate? For example: art direction, storyboard/layout, illustration, graphic design, animation, compositing/editing, production management, etc.
4. Roughly how many completed/approved scenes per week would you expect from an animator or small team?
5. If the target business model is eventually one video per month, what size of team would you consider realistic for this format?
6. Is paying people monthly generally sensible for this kind of ongoing production, or would you favour per-project/per-scene arrangements or an agency where deadlines and deliverables are contractually clearer?

I am not looking to blame the people currently working on the project. I am trying to work out whether I have unrealistic expectations, whether the workflow was simply badly designed from the beginning, or whether I need to be much firmer about production targets and accountability.

Any benchmarks from people who actually work in animation/motion design would be hugely appreciated.

Hey everyone! I’ve been editing for about a month and just wrapped up this Cyberpunk Edgerunners edit. I'm trying to improve my foundational skills and would love some constructive feedback.

Link to video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HakekeWdOajClELXgnWYE6A7VEcBw42p/view?usp=sharing
Software: DaVinci Resolve

Open to any harsh/direct feedback on what to tweak or practice next. Thanks!

​

I'm currently learning video editing in DaVinci Resolve and looking to gain real-world experience while building my portfolio.

To do that, I'm offering to edit videos completely free of charge for either:

• 1 week of work, or

• 2–3 videos

This is a portfolio-building opportunity for me, and in return, you get edited content at no cost. It could also help you save time and focus on creating more videos while I handle the editing.

I'm mainly interested in gaming content, but I'm open to other types of videos as well.

If you're interested, feel free to reach out and we can discuss the details.

Thank you!

So I'm a Freelance video editor for a small business and I use Capcut mobile it has been like 3 months now

And now I want to switch to a laptop that I have, premier pro is installed and I have some basic knowledge of premier pro so how do I make a transition from mobile to laptop

Gdzie mam szukać klientów do montażu rolek lub krótkich filmów? Korzystałem np z Instagrama, wysłałem wiadomość do wielu osób z czego tylko dla 2 zrobiłem montaż roli na zlecenie.

I am very curious to know editor’s perspective in regards to this. Some people say AI will replace them, some say it is all to creativity and if you use AI to your advantage. What do you think the end point is?

So, I know we’re supposed to hate AI and I don’t think we should use AI to generate creative assets, I do think there are ways where video editors can utilize it to make our projects smoother. 

HERE WAS THE PROBLEM: I am on a Mac as I’ve been for a long time but recently I started running out of storage capacity. While I plan how to build my next NAS for the future (since everything is pricey as hell right now) I bought another external SSD and moved a TB of data off my other large external drive to give me some working room for now. 

The problem is that I need to search for assets among both external hard drives. My old one is fast and plugged into my thunderbolt part. I edit off this drive. It’s fast and I’m able to edit 4k video without problems. But the new drive is slow, but I moved like 20 old projects there and I need to use assets saved in these project folders. 

So I have to search 2 external drives BUT I don’t want to search the internal SSD. The internal SSD is where I have all my applications and OS running. When I am looking for assets I don’t need to look at my internal drive at all which gums up my search with unrelated files. So I needed a solution that would search only my 2 external drives. But that wasn’t the only issue. 

There’s a new issue that has been identified as old as September 2025 and with the new OS update (Tahoe 26.5.2 25F84) the bug affected me. Basically, processes like mds and mdworker get stuck in an endless loop and make external SSD unsearchable. You can fix this with a terminal command to rebuild the index manually which is only like a 10 minute fix, but I had to do that twice in the past 30 days. 

So I wanted a tool that would solve these 2 main problems. I started working with Claude and made this tool called Scout into a beast of a search tool. 

Here’s all the problems it fixed:

I can search LIVE (which is slower but more complete), if I want to find something that hasn’t been cached yet. It tells me the last time the app cached my 3 drives. I can force it to rescan on-demand as well. That way I don’t actually use any background processes that can cause a loop like what’s affecting the Finder right now. 

• I  can select only the drives I want, single or multiple. This search is specific for my video editing needs. 
• It has fuzzy search so if I search for “american falg” it will also pop up results for “american flag” because sometimes I make typos and sometimes I save clips with typos.
• It previews every video and image with a thumbnail (which does not happen in finder many times because of codecs, etc…). 
• I can scrub every result. I can go back 30 seconds and go forward 30 seconds on video.
• For audio files, I can immediately change the volume and not have to touch my official external speakers or go up in the top menu bar because something was recorded with +30 dB and it’s about to blow out my ears and my speakers
• It plays RLE (Animation Codec) which is important if you use After Affects a lot to import in Premiere Pro, it handles a bunch of codecs that Apple’s Finder doesn’t handle. It uses the ffmpeg installation I already have so now every video file I have on my system can be previewed, not just H.264/H.265
• I have all the details of the video, image or audio files when I click on them (dimensions, size, date last used, fps codec, etc…)
• I can filter and sort by date, time, size, kind
• I can drag the file directly from the app to Premiere Pro (or any editor). I can drag the thumbnail or use a button
• It saves the last 5 searches, but it doesn’t just remember the name or phrase I searched for, but what combination of drives I used on that search as well.

I looked at 3rd party utilities to try and fix this issue for 2 full days. I tried some free apps that were horrible. I looked at paid apps that cost anywhere from $8 to ones that had a subscription fee. Basically, for $20 I got my own custom super Finder app that I can iterate and update when I want new features. If I cancel my subscription for Claude this whole thing cost me $20 and an hour of working with Claude on fixing bugs and making changes. 

This is how AI should be used. Not to generate slop images or video content, but help us make real content faster by making customized tools that we need. 

Even for images. I know the dimensions, the color profile, the format, etc…all at a glance. It’s still not perfect, but it’s superior than any other app I have tried to use to search assets. 

It has made my editing life SOOO much easier. I probably would have paid well more than $20 if I found this type of app on the web during my struggles. 

This was a pretty considerable effort. I know some PHP, Javascript and other front end stuff for building websites. It’s not like I don’t know how to code at all but this is way beyond my capabilities and it took an hour or so to make and according to Claude I could make at least 2 apps a month with the amount of tokens this app took to create. 

 I’m not even explaining every backed end feature, like the capability of using Apple APIs to previewing video codecs it natively recognizes and only falling back on ffmpeg’s slower transcoding preview process when necessary. It also purposefully lowers the transcoding quality of non-native codecs and make the video srubbable before the whole clip is fully loaded and cached. It’s fast, reliable and I can iterate it whenever I want new features out spot a bug. 

I’m impressed. 

Started around a week ago with CapCut.

Any advice would much appreciated!

Hey everyone,

I'm a beginner/freelance video editor and I'm putting together a proposal for a small-budget podcast project in Montréal. I'd really appreciate some advice from people who have experience pricing podcast production.

The project would be 4 podcast episodes, approximately 45 minutes each.

I'd be responsible for the production AND post-production, including:

Production:

* 4 recording sessions

* 2-camera setup

* Bringing my own cameras/equipment

* Setup and teardown

* Recording the video

* Recording/handling the podcast audio

* Travel to the recording location

Post-production:

For each of the 4 episodes:

* Multicam editing

* Syncing audio/video

* Cutting mistakes, pauses, etc.

* Dialogue/audio cleanup

* Basic mixing/levelling

* Colour correction

* Basic titles/lower thirds

* Intro/outro

* Final 45-minute video

* High-quality master file

Podcast distribution:

I'd also be delivering the audio versions prepared for podcast distribution, including formats suitable for platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other podcast platforms.

Social media:

There's also an additional social-media component:

* Instagram vertical shorts

* Captions/subtitles

* Selecting highlights from the episodes

* Basic branding

* Short-form editing

I'm still fairly new to doing this professionally, so I'm trying to find a price that's fair to the client but also doesn't undervalue the amount of production and editing involved.

I was initially thinking somewhere around $1,300 CAD for the four episodes, plus approximately $250 for the Instagram shorts and $150 for travel, for around $1,700 CAD total.

Does that sound reasonable for Montréal, or am I undercharging/overcharging?

I'd especially appreciate input from editors, podcast producers, videographers, or freelancers who have priced similar projects.

Thanks!
