“I hate to be “that guy”, but I’d recommend taking the time to learn the basics of an editor like Reaper. It won’t take long to learn how to make the same basic edits that Descript is doing and it sounds like you’ll save a ton of headaches. I taught my friend with zero audio…”
“So my dilemma is that my parents are divorced. I live in two separate places, and I have two separate pc’s. I edit videos mostly at my dad’s house, but it’s very annoying to only be able to work on them half the time and I’d like to keep editing those same videos while at my…”

Adobe Premiere and After Effects. That's exactly the kind of work I'm looking for! Feel free to dm me [re: Looking for creators who need an editor! (FREE)]
“Sounds like you need someone to finish the clips more than find them. I'd send the editor one Opus cut and your finished version and ask them to match it for a paid test. The useful price is the one where you're not still doing all that cleanup afterwards lol. [re: how much do you guys pay for clip pulls?]”
“i pay around 30 per clip but the guy does the captions and some light motion graphics, nothing too fancy. 50 feels steep unless he is also doing the strategy and writing the hooks for you [re: how much do you guys pay for clip pulls?]”
“For reference, I want to get into making content, but I'm aware that if I want to do that I'm going to have to learn how to edit. I Have the Adobe suite through school and I just genuinely need some advice, Should I just jump into it and try to learn hands on? Or are there specific videos/ courses I should study first? submitted by /u/beannnyy [link] [comments]”
“I hate to be “that guy”, but I’d recommend taking the time to learn the basics of an editor like Reaper. It won’t take long to learn how to make the same basic edits that Descript is doing and it sounds like you’ll save a ton of headaches. I taught my friend with zero audio editing knowledge how to use Reaper in an afternoon many years ago and they’re still making complex music mashups with it just for fun.

“Do you find them on fiver, Reddit, or something else? I can’t seem to find any of the kind I want in fiver”
“it’s a mix of both really. when i was working with someone i’d send a rough cut with the voiceover and a few timestamps for big moments, then they’d take it from there and add their own flair. definitely check their portfolio first so you’re not fighting their instinct later, made that mistake once and ended up with a montage that looked like a car commercial”
“I already filmed it. However, I'm not sure how to edit it because it's my first time and I don't really wanna do a voice over either. So if anyone has some experience or has done a tip of editing for their YouTube channel before could someone help me? submitted by /u/ComprehensiveRush341 [link] [comments]”
“Hey everyone! I’m working with a small team of video editors who help YouTubers turn their raw footage into clean, engaging, professional-looking videos without the cost of hiring an in-house editor. We can help with long-form videos, Shorts, talking-head content, thumbnails, and more. If you're looking for reliable editing at a reasonable budget, contact us. submitted by /u/No_Designer6454 [link] [comments]”
“Editing is a sought-after skill that you pay for. Don't ask people to invest their time and work for you for free. This is your passion project, not theirs. Having your project in their "portfolio" doesn't buy groceries.”
“I'm thinking about making movie reviews as a hobby depending on how it turns out, so I don't want to buy something yet in case it doesn't work out. I would have to cycle between footage of a movie and I'll realistically be using a laptop. Also how should I record or get footage of the media I'm reviewing? submitted by /u/vagueguyname [link] [comments]”
“Good human editors usually run $50 to $300 a video depending on the scope, and a huge part of that cost is just the time spent scrubbing through hours of footage to find the moments worth keeping. If you hate editing and have a tight budget, that price tag can eat through funds pretty fast. I built clipfinder.org to handle that exact scrubbing phase. It watches a long VOD, breaks it down into 3 to 6 finished videos with titles and thumbnails, and lets you fine-tune the cut by editing the transcr”
“thanks. You're right. I got in touch with a friend who has done professional editing for 25+ years. Not in DaVinci but...he still knows the basics. He gave me the same advice you just did. And he also looked at my latest video and said "it's fine - it's not bad - just a few small tweaks will improve it but it's definitely watchable" Which made me feel a bit better. I won't quit!”
“So my dilemma is that my parents are divorced. I live in two separate places, and I have two separate pc’s. I edit videos mostly at my dad’s house, but it’s very annoying to only be able to work on them half the time and I’d like to keep editing those same videos while at my mom’s. Is there any software that would be able to save my progress between both pc’s? I’m not sure if it’s possible, but I thought I’d atleast ask! submitted by /u/AquaAngel22 [link] [comments]”
“I’m looking for something more reliable than Capcut but something not hard like Davinci Resolve. I unfortunately do not have a budget too submitted by /u/kokichi_Ouma3 [link] [comments]”
“ok I've re-recorded I've wanted to upload a got 5-10 times by now (mainly due to mess ups, audio issues and stutters) and right now all I need to do is up the volume of it but I also want to actually edit it. I know capcut is normaly good, but it lags my computer a lot and it runs slow. an older one I use, (veedio) changed a lot and don't let free user export videos that are longer the 10 minutes. and the video editor of streamlabs don't seem that good. submitted by /”
“I know that the way i edit is a bit particular, and I'm looking to hire an assistant editor to do a first pass edit for me so I can scale up the total number of episodes I can make overall. I'm having trouble trying to describe the various steps in my process and was wondering if any of y'all have any advice for coherently laying out my steps in a way that will make sense to another editor. to be clear I've been editing podcasts for about 2 years now, and work in Ableton which I”
yep, i just now learned this lesson. $60 down the drain...
