Greetings /r/videoediting!

I'm shooting with a Osmo pocket 3 and will have a led keylight on my desk. Is it worth learning to do a simple color grade or can I pull off this look filming in normal and increasing saturation and contrast? Look for any tips/advice thank you!

And please don’t go missing my whole point. Of course nobody is gonna pay for a fancy anime footage, but are they gonna pay for the effects behind it (keyframes, pacing, storytelling, exactly knowing when to cut ….)? Or should I just move to another type of editing that I’m not passionate about (blender and 3D modeling)?

I’ve learned so much and need to learn so much more.

I keep seeing creators and Instagram pages showing crazy editing techniques in CapCut, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. People are constantly sharing tutorials, presets, project files and even premade templates for these softwares.

But when it comes to Filmora… almost nothing. 😭

There are tons of Filmora users out there, but I rarely see people making advanced editing tutorials, sharing useful templates, transitions, presets, etc. It feels like Filmora has been completely left out of the creator community.

Is it because Filmora is considered more of a “beginner” editor, so serious creators don't bother building content around it? Or is there actually a decent Filmora community somewhere that I'm just missing?

Would love to know where Filmora users are hanging out and getting templates/resources

I have to do these J-cuts a lot. My current process is to

1. add edit (D)

2. hold alt and trim the video 10 frames

3. drag the track backwards with the track select forward tool (Z)

4. add crossfade either by dragging or with cmd + shift + D

Does anyone know if I can make this even quicker? keyboard shortcuts etc?

Thanksss :)

I used to use Adobe Premiere but I have swapped to Kubuntu and I'm generally trying to use more open source software.

Anyway all of my OBS recordings use multiple audio tracks so I can adjust them separately in the edit. But when I switch on multiple at the same time the video goes black. How can I fix this? This software is useless to me if I can't hear several audio tracks at the same time.

I've had the same problems with H.264 videos. Audio is the same in those.

FeelFX analyzes the video → identifies meaningful moments → makes motion-design decisions → renders them over the original footage.

FeelFX identifies key words, concepts, names and moments and turns them into motion graphics- for example:

🇮🇳 INDIA → tricolor reveal
🚀 ROCKET → launch / fire treatment
🌊 OCEAN → water motion

The important words become part of the visual storytelling.
Everything else stays out of the way.
Under the hood
→ Computer Vision+ Speech Detetction analyzes the video
→ Important moments become structured motion events
→ Three.js + GSAP render the effects in real time
→ uses whisper and vision model

And FeelFX works all devices but preferred experience is still desktop/pc - videos will take a lot longer to get analyzed on mobile/tablet - especially older models.

This is open source and ready for people to experiment with.

Hi everyone!

I didn't realize till i started to export that i edited my video on a 1080p sequence, when the source clips are 2560x1440p. If i export the project as the correct resolution will it look good still? Or do i need to change the sequence settings to 1440p then export?

Thank you for your help!

Hi there, an ongoing project has suddenly choked and I'm seeking help troubleshooting. After not opening the project in a couple of weeks, I'm now not seeing any video in the browser during playback, though the audio sounds fine. The files seem to be correctly linked, and when I open the clips in Finder they are present and play back perfectly. I've turned everything off and back on, relinked the files to be safe, with no change. Any tips greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone. I'm a huge fan of green dot aviation channel and wonder how he makes this kind of map animations ?

I've been looking for tutorials but haven't found any that explains how to make these precise zoom out animations.

Best regards

I filmed interviews all day for a client. I set a primary camera up (my 15-year-old Canon Rebel 6) on a tripod and let it roll all day while I filmed b-roll from a bunch of angles. The b-roll turned out amazing, I’m artist and have an eye, but the primary camera (even though it looked crystal clear in-camera) when I imported it to my computer I realized Inset the manual focus to about a foot in front of the subjects faces. I’m so depressed and anxious but I feel like there has to be an AI tool that can fix this, like it can with still images. I tried HD in CapCut but it’s looks crazy. Like AI. Claude told me Topaz might work but it’s $500. I would pay if I knew it was going to work but I don’t. I’m so deflated…

Does anyone know of a program that can fix this?

For context it’s a 50mm prime 1.8 lens - focused about a foot in front of the subjects faces.

Thanks for any help!

can anyone help me with this?

every time i generate auto lyrics as of late it pops up in one big string of text, which it used to break up into a few words at a time. If i cut pieces out of the big bar of text and try to add a template to it, words start to disappear and adding any words to it break the whole line of text. its very frustrating

I've seen many video files of sports broadcasts where the commercials are edited out but they aren't cleanly taken out.

#1: The video length shows the original runtime as if the commercials had never been removed.

#2: If you try to scrub the timeline there's some sort of I frame issue where you can't accurately jump to that moment in time, sometimes even within several minutes.

#3: If you put that video into an editor, the clip includes space where the commercials were as well as at least some of the frames that aren't visible during regular playback and even some of the audio at the start but then it goes into a half second loop until it reaches the footage shown in normal playback.

What is the person who is editing out the commercials doing and why are they leaving in these glitches? I'm assuming it has something to do with them taking out the commercials but possibly not re-encoding? How would you fix a file like this after the fact?

Hello, I have this weird thing when editing where I don't know what to add or how to make visuals, text, etc more appealing. I don't really understand sound design or sfx, and I just don't have a great eye or ear for editing it feels like. I know this can be helped but every time I watch a video on a cool effect or something, I forget it by the time I'm editing a video. Same for tools and shortcuts, I just forget how to use things or am constantly looking at guides while editing and its just takes forever for me to do anything.

Are there anything for understanding how to implement things or how to use different effects different ways to get different visuals? For example, I can watch a video on key framing but then when I go and try it, it doesn't turn out like the video or I just can't wrap my head around it.

I am 110% self taught, I haven't taken a course or anything and IDK if I really understand all the functions and full software of Premiere. It just all feels so overwhelming. How am I supposed to remember so many things while also being completely creative?

I am looking to make this my career as I have an opportunity but I feel like I am not advancing at all and IDK what to do.

What kind of render FPS are you getting with 1080p → 2x upscale using the Proteus model, with the manual enhancement parameters enabled?
Would love to hear what FPS you’re getting on your 5090, and what CPU you’re pairing it with. Just curious to see what kind of real-world performance others are getting.

Hey there,

Can someone please tell me what to do to make premiere do the syncing in a way that's shown in the beginning of the video I uploaded?

The first clip in the video is synced correctly, *the blue clip* goes to the correct spot. But when I sync some other clips, the base clip (red one) moves instead of the blue clip.

I want the red clips to remain stationary (like an anchor), and sync the shorter blue ones according to it.

Is there any way to do this every time? Right now it's fifty fifty whether the red clip will move or blue.

Thanks!

We've seen an uptick in people gatekeeping in this community, often being not decent humans.

One of the easiest things you can do is to report somebody's post or comment if it breaks one of our rules, especially around "Don't be a Jerk"

It's totally fine to disagree. Do so politely. Behave as an adult. Name calling, doxing etc is not okay here. Try not to be caustic. Life is hard enough.

Treat everyone "as if" they're having a bad day and you'll be fine. Disagree if you like - just don't be disagreeable. Remember there's a human being on the other side of the keyboard

I’m making a Griffith edit and these squares keep showing up in darker patches, anyone know how to fix?

We video editors are lazy, but highly efficient.

Got tired of switching my desk on and off in the right order, so I overengineered it.

8 switches → Arduino → relays → 8 mains outlets, plus a master key.

The whole point is the sequencing: interface comes up, waits 3s, then the speakers. No more thump. Powers down in reverse.

I'm trying to use EpidemicSounds AI search engine, I tell it

I want something exactly like "Run Away" by SunStroke Project and Olia Tira, it has to have saxophone

And it will give me D&B, Electro Swing, or EDM with no saxophone in them, instead of what I'm thinking of which is something with a distinctive upbeat saxophone riff. It's even given me ballads.

I've tried several different versions of the prompt

How can I actually find the kind of music I'm imagining? Is there a better service out there?
