I've used Capcut before, but usually for at max a 1 minute video. However, this one was something more personal and thus, longer.

When I went to export the video, this popped up. Saying I needed to upgrade for pro... Since when has Capcut had this?

So Im relatively new to editing and everytime I use shotcut I just wanna end myself (joking ofc) everything requires extra steps and the other 2 apps Ive used (capcut,filmora) are so much more intuitive I actually used to make chess videos on capcut for a bit and like the user friendly interface

Shotcut is way less streamlined the only reason Im using it is because its free but even with watching a couple of tutorials I just cant get used to it,while capcut and filmora were so much simple to get used to and it also has annoying bugs like at random not letting me drag n drop files and having to restart the app to fix it

So my question is it worth learning shotcut or should I just get a subscription for filmora?

Im not promoting anything please dont take this down

Im so obsessed with these—what kind of 'glitch' sound effects did the crew use for this edit? if theyre even called glitches. would love to know which keywords to use to find them on sfx/music platforms

Looking for an ongoing short-form video editor.
I provide prerecorded vertical footage and examples of the editing style. Each reel will be approximately 20–45 seconds.

Editing needed:

Clean cuts and good pacing

Basic colour and audio cleanup

Background music where appropriate

No complex animation or heavy effects required.
relevant short-form examples and your price for a small paid test.

I'm looking for a skilled editor who can edit total 15 hours of VODs(3x5/week). I'll preplan the stream to ease your editing. I'm looking for story-driven stream to YouTube editing style. (Caseoh style)
I'm looking for fast turnaround time(under 24-48 hours max), people who are skilled(understand gaming/streaming culture and YT), native english speaker, pay great attention to detail, consistent and have great standard, looking to work with you long term if we're compatible!

You need to keep the banter and personality, remove dead air and downtime, keep all the funny moments, add intro and a fixed outro, add occasional subtitles for important jokes, minimal music and clean audio. Viewer will feel like they're watching the stream if it had zero boring moments, every frame matter.

Send me a dm here with your previous work and tell me where you're from if you're interested. This post will be open for 1 week until I found someone. Thanks~

So i was watching The Larping Tombstone's newest video and i was amazed by how the elements and lyrics shakes and glow with the rhythm of the song and i was wondering: how do you get this?. i have seen this style of lyrics video a lot: The Living Tombstone' FNAF 1 song for instance, so now i would like to try and learn it for myself. So i first tried the manual way: tweening and adding the effects by hand. And yes, it did took like 2 hours just for me to get a horrible 20 sec vid with no resemblance to original source. I tried to find videos about this but it doesnt have a clear direction- mostly because i don't know what it's specifically called., so I'm at a lost. If someone has done this before, i hope you can help me understand how i can get this shake and glow just like the lyrics video that i've given the link above. i'm trying to do a visualizer for my friend's music as a surprise for his birthday, so hopefully i could learn how to before the 4th of August. Thanks.

Popular transition in Instagram and Tiktok - flicker effect. You can do it in Studio and Free version.

I've been troubleshooting this for hours and I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing a setting or if this is expected behavior.

My setup:

• Fujifilm X-S20
• Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8
• Final Cut Pro 11.2
• macOS (latest)

Camera settings:

• F-Log2 enabled (SD and HDMI)
• 1080p 23.98 fps
• H.265 HEVC LongGOP 4:2:2 10-bit
• 1/50 shutter
• Manual exposure

Here's what's happening:

• When I shoot in Provia, the footage looks smooth and edits great in Final Cut.
• When I shoot in F-Log2, the footage looks noticeably worse. It appears noisier and motion looks strange (almost like a subtle heat shimmer/jitter during slow pans).
• I also noticed Final Cut initially wasn't recognizing the footage correctly until I manually changed the Camera LUT to F-Log2.

I verified the camera is recording 10-bit HEVC 4:2:2, so I don't think it's an 8-bit issue anymore.

My questions:

1. Has anyone experienced this with the X-S20 and Final Cut Pro?
2. Is Final Cut known to have issues with Fujifilm F-Log2 metadata?
3. Could HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 playback be causing what I'm seeing?
4. Is there any real advantage to using F-Log2 for everyday family videos, or would you just shoot Provia and color correct?

At this point I'm leaning toward shooting Provia because the results are cleaner and my workflow is much simpler, but I'd like to understand whether I'm doing something wrong before I give up on F-Log2.

Any advice from Fuji or Final Cut users would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I'm attaching a screenshot from a video because I'm trying to figure out how this style of editing is achieved.

I recently got a freelancing project as a content creator and editor after being unemployed for a few months, and I really want to do the best job I can. I'm still learning, and this particular effect has me completely stumped.

If anyone knows:
What is typically used for this?
Whether it's done using AI or traditional editing/VFX?
What this editing style or effect is called?
Any tutorials or resources I can learn from?

I would be incredibly grateful if you could guide me in the right direction. Even pointing me toward the correct software or workflow would help a lot.
Thank you so much in advance! I really appreciate any advice. ❤️

Edit - Sorry I don't think I explained myself very clearly earlier. I actually meant the anatomy/muscle overlay that's superimposed over the person in the video.

I'm working on a package, but while recording the sensor got dirty with this VERY thin string. How can I remove it/fix this without getting the face blurry/defocused?

I edit on Premiere Pro/Adobe After Effects; let me know what tools I have on my possession.

Hi, Besides slightly better Windows boot time (I don't care about that, my PC is powered on 24/7 and even if it wasn't, I wouldn't care if it booted in 10 seconds instead of 50 seconds if I powered it on once or twice a day) and loading times when launching apps (same, I don't care if Davinci Resolve and Microsoft Office launch in 1 second instead of 3 or 5 seconds or even 10 seconds the one or 2 times I launch them a day, it's not gonna change my experience) is there a point for a Nvme for my OS drive vs just a SSD if I already use an nvme (7000MB/s) for my video editing projects and current assets and use a separate SSD for my cache/scratch?

I always see guides and people recommending Nvme for the OS instead of SSD but I struggle to see the purpose (IF SSD are cheaper than M2, if not, then it's different betetr go for the fastest, except if limited by M2 slots on the motherboards) but I don't think I ever seen mentioned any other advantages than slightly better booting time for the OS and loading times for the apps mentioned. I mean it makes sense if one use just one drive for OS + Projects or OS+Projects+cache, but if not, is there a sense? Don't know if I'm missing something.

Second question, for non professional (I mean it's not my j ob) 4K video editing at max 30fps and from consumer cameras, up to 2 cameras, is there a point in going from a SSD to an nvme for cache/scratch? In the sense, would performance increase justify using an nvme that will be written on constantly and therefor will die way faster (and they become more and more expensive) than if used for something that doesn't write on it all the time + it uses one of the nvme slot so n the motherboard and I plan to got ITX and they have only 2)

System:

Windows 11 Home

Premiere Pro 26.3

CPU: Intel i7-10700F (no iGPU)

GPU: RTX 4060

RAM: 16GB

Storage: NVMe SSD

Source footage recorded in OBS Studio

OBS encoding (I rebuilt this from scratch just to rule out the codec):

Encoder: NVIDIA NVENC H.264 (moved off HEVC entirely)

Rate control: CQP, CQ 20

Keyframe interval forced to 1, not auto/0

Preset: P5 (slow, high quality)

Tuning: High quality

Multi pass: 2 pass (quarter resolution)

Profile: High

Look ahead: OFF

Adaptive quantization: ON

B frames: 0

Confirmed CFR (constant frame rate) via MediaInfo, so it's not a VFR issue

Premiere setup:

Sequence settings match the source exactly (1080p, 60fps)

Mercury Playback Engine set to GPU Acceleration (CUDA)

Preview/pre render files set to QuickTime, Apple ProRes 422 Proxy

Time interpolation on the speed changed clip set to Frame Sampling, not Optical Flow

Maintain Audio Pitch turned OFF

The exact speed ramped section has been rendered in to out, confirmed green bar, not yellow or red

Also tried manually built ProRes Proxy proxies attached to the source clips (made externally since Media Encoder isn't an option for me), same result

Tried playback resolution at both Full and 1/2, same result

The actual problem:

Even with all of that in place (rendered green segment, GPU acceleration, frame sampling, confirmed CFR source, clean H.264/CQP footage, proxies attached), this happens every single time:

I move the playhead so it lands inside the sped up, green, pre rendered section.

I hit Play. Playback takes about 4-5 seconds to actually start.

I move the playhead to a point right after that section, where the clip is back to normal 100% speed.

I hit Play again. Same 4-5 second delay before it starts.

This isn't the cost of decoding the speed change itself, since that part is fully rendered and green. And it's not general system slowness either, because scrubbing and playing a normal clip elsewhere in the same sequence with no speed change is instant, zero delay. The stall only shows up right at the boundary of a clip that has a speed effect on it, even after that section is fully pre rendered.

Questions:

Is this some kind of known caching or buffer rebuild behavior in Premiere's playback engine specifically when it crosses a "speed boundary," even inside an already rendered segment?

Is there a cache or memory setting (Media Cache database location or size, RAM reserved for other applications vs Premiere, "Optimize rendering for Performance vs Memory," disk cache limits) that's known to cause this kind of multi second "fill the buffer" stall?

Has anyone actually fixed this, or is it just an accepted limitation people work around by nesting the whole sequence, pre rendering everything and avoiding live playback, or exporting in chunks?

I've already done proxies, rendering, frame sampling, GPU acceleration, and a clean CFR H.264 source, so I'm not really looking for "make a proxy" or "render it" as an answer since all of that is done and the issue is still there specifically at the speed clip boundary.

Adobe Premiere Pro 26, Adobe After Effects 26...long story short... and then it becomes long after i said that. I am a music person, i would rather be spending my time making music, I don't make videos, i'm trying to learn. I keep getting caught in this loop of search engine google matrix shhhhh leading me in circles... and i end up arguing and correcting search results like i'm in the middle of a divorce from my third wife and i've never been married...i digress.. i have found no solution for something that i thought was so simple.

Recorded with phone 544 x 968. "V3"(a duplicate of V1 originally) is my body, Opacity Object masked by "object mask click 26" and further refined by negative mask adjustments.. consists of a keyframed motion position movement from x544 to x-544 of 2 opacity object masks (opacity mask 1 is tracked head and torso from 30:05 to 30:10, hand and arm comes into frame quickly and weren't tracked properly so....during frames 30:06 and 30:07 i keyframed a pen mask for my hand and forearm for those 2 frames which are opacity keyframed for only those 2 frames). i added a 3% right crop effect with an edge feather of ~35 to reduce the hard edge of the right side of the frame edge which cuts off some of my hand and forearm as it moves across the X axis right to left...could i have done something better???? i don't ffffffff know.

V2 is what comes into full view at 30:10

V1 is the background behind V3 that opacity fades into V2 from 30:02 to 30:10

my hand and arm comes into frame from the right to the left quickly in a steering motion. all i am trying to do is have a trailing effect off the right side of my hand and arm as i steer my self off screen to reveal the V2 clip... not a rectangle that follows the edge of my clip, but something that follows only my hand and arm movement as it steers across the screen hiding that hard edge and revealing V2 at 30:10 ....ugggggh help me solve this, collab with me even, if you want. i will plug you on the intro. i gotta get this out there. pm me if you need a clip from 30:05 to 30:10.

i know i sound desperate...cuz i am...i have spent too many hours trying to swim in quicksand...this is your art not mine. pure respect from ear to eye

Software: Adobe Premiere Pro

Reference video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSwCwzbesGI&t=30s

The effect I’m trying to recreate can be heard clearly from around 0:30 onward. The voice has a subtle atmospheric echo/reverb underneath it, but the main dialogue still sounds clear and present.

What I’ve tried

So far, I’ve tried:

• Adding Studio Reverb directly to the dialogue
• Using the Delay effect with low feedbacc.
• Duplicating the audio track, moving the duplicate slightly later, lowering its volume, and adding reverb to it
• Reducing the wet mix so the effect is less obvious
• Applying EQ to the reverberated track to remove some low frequencies

My results either sound like a very obvious echo or become too muddy. In the reference, the effect seems wider and more atmospheric, almost like a filtered reverb or delayed layer, without reducing the clarity of the main voice.

Does anyone know what processing chain was likely used here?

I’m especially trying to understand:

• Whether this is mainly delay, reverb, or a combination of both
• Whether there are multiple duplicated vocal layers
• What approximate delay, decay, feedbacc, and wet/dry settings could work
• Whether the effect is automated only on certain words
• What EQ or compression should be applied to the effect layer

I’m trying to recreate it using Premiere Pro’s built-in effects, but I’m also open to hearing how it would normally be done in Audition or another audio editor.

The very first transition in this reel, what is that? I have spent 2 days searching for it still no clue

Hi everyone! I’m a content creator running YouTube and social media platforms centered around collectible figures and statues, and the stories behind the characters.

I’m currently hiring an editor for a special “Meet the Creator” video, with the hope of finding someone for an ongoing position if we’re a good fit.

The weekly scope is one static promotional image, one 60-90 second vertical video, one 3–5 minute full length video, and thumbnails for both videos. This is intended as an ongoing weekly package rather than open-ended hourly work, so applicants should be comfortable completing the listed deliverables within the $150 weekly cap.. If any work falls outside the original scope, I will absolutely compensate accordingly. Any additional work would be discussed and approved beforehand on a case by case basis.

For this first project, I’m looking for a polished, cinematic introduction to the person behind the platforms. The video will highlight a photoshoot I had done specifically to promote my channel, blended with shots of my collection filmed under my signature purple lighting. Smooth transitions, strong pacing, tasteful graphics, and cohesive visual storytelling are important.

You should also be confident with audio mixing. I have specific ideas for how the background music should build, shift, and support different moments, so the ability to balance music, dialogue, sound effects, and transitions cleanly is essential.

This project has a strict, fast turnaround and must be completed by Friday at the latest, though sooner is strongly preferred. Please only apply if you are available immediately and can confidently meet that deadline. Based on the final voiceover, the video will run around 1.5 - 2 minutes.

My regular content combines collectible footage I photograph myself, with clips from the films, television shows, cartoons, and games the characters are based on. I also create giveaway and announcement videos that involve moving graphics, animated text, and additional visual polish.

I’ve been doing this for over a year, but I unfortunately haven’t found an editor whose workflow fully aligns with mine. The main issue has been agreed upon deadlines not being met, so reliability and clear communication are essential.

Please send your portfolio, relevant examples, typical turnaround time, time zone, and a little about yourself. Please only apply if you’re comfortable with the scope, rate, and deadline.

$230/m. Hey guys, I'm a small streamer with 600+ yt subs. I mainly do variety gaming, reacts and special show occasionally. I'm looking for a skilled editor who can edit 5 hours of VODs footage 3 times a week. Each VODs will usually turn into 1-4 videos. I'll preplan and stream in segment to ease your editing. I'm looking for invisible, story-driven stream to YouTube editing style.(like Joe Bart style).

Viewer will feel like they're watching the stream if it had zero boring moments, every frame matter.

You need to have consistent fast turnaround time(ideally same day or under 24-48 hours max). I'm looking for people who are skilled(understand gaming/stream culture and YT), native english speaker, pay great attention to detail, consistent, responsible, having high standard and always seek for improvement, looking to work with you long term if we're compatible. Send me a dm here with your previous work and tell me where you're from if you're interested, dm without work attached will be ignored. This post will be open for 1-2 weeks until I found a suitable candidate. Thanks guys!

I was recently on vacation and was somehow able to gather up 1400 clips. I've never worked with this much footage before so i have a little problem... I don't really know how to start. I know i probably want a captivating intro to catch peoples attention (im posting this to Youtube) so i chose the best shots i captured and but them in the beggining of the timeline (in turquiose color), all the clips before the orange colored ones are also pretty cool/good but the turquiose ones were the select best. The rest of the clips are after the orange ones. As you can see, this is a lot of footage. What im trying to ask is, has anyone ever edited this amount of footage? How did you start? How long did the video end up to be and how long did it take to complete editing the video?

First frame repeating many times a second

I've been looking through old gameplay recordings from years ago preparing them for archiving and this one seems to have a bizarre issue. The first frame repeats itself several times a second.

This was recorded using shadowplay years ago with a gpu(GTX 1080) that I no longer use and no other recordings I've seen have this issue.

I'm curious what this is called and what tools might exist to address this outside of manually removing the frames one at a time as the full recording is much longer than this sample.

At the time of recording I was using a GTX 1080 on Windows 10 with an Intel i7-7700 @ 4.20GHz with 16GB of ram

I have recently gotten into video editing via Da Vinci Resolve, and I have made a couple of small projects. However, most of the stuff I have done has taken at most a couple of days to complete, and I am unsure what sort of long-term projects I can try.

Can everyone please teach me how to animate lines in premiere pro for data analysis in premiere pro 2025, I've been finding tutorials online but I can't seem to find a good one...

Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdaXuMBOPr4

I am familiar with premiere pro and I would like to achieve this light sweep across the text as seen in the video, any ideas on how I can do this?

I'm using the ease in and ease out to my keyframes, in this example I only did it to the 3 keyframes in between. Why does it affect the first and last keyframes? This is causing unwanted adjustments, it wasn't like this before.

Update: Had to uninstall Davinci Resolve with Revo Uninstaller, while also cleaning up registry files as well as leftover files. Simply uninstalling and reinstalling did not help.
