## Would you like feedback on your reel? This is the place to do it!

**An essential point to remember**: A reel won't secure you a job any more than a business card or website will. While it might be necessary, it is not the primary means of obtaining work.

**You gain employment through a network you develop,** not via any online job site. Building a network takes time, which is advantageous, as it allows you to learn the field.

## Rules

* **Rule 1**: Submit your reel *and its running time* as a top-level comment (meaning you reply to this post directly)

* **Rule 2**: *Specify your professional experience in years* (paying taxes = years as a pro, novice).

* **Rule 3**: Indicate how you're monitoring. Is it with a mini monitor + a LG CX?.

* **Rule 4**: You must review two other reels. **TWO**. You have seven days to complete this task, responding to two different reels. **Then** edit the comment where you post your reel: and put and put the two user names.

**Acceptable platforms for posting**: Your Vimeo site or an unlisted YouTube link. If we find a link to a channel or a video with 10k views, we want you to know that this thread is not meant for such content.

The moderation team will monitor this, and we are trying to encourage the community (that's you) to offer assistance. That's why providing two reviews is crucial.

Lastly, as someone who evaluates people's reels, if you start off with **log** footage, I expect to see the color work in passes. If color grading is a skill, and you transition from Log to finished grade, that's a definite red flag.

TL;DR: Flair yourself Dev/Tools, post one top-level comment using the template, and bring a real discount. In other threads, link back to your comment from this thread, not your site.

For Developers

This thread exists so the community can evaluate tools, not get marketed to.

What earns upvotes?

THIS: A straight answer to one question: how does your tool save an editor time or money? "It helps" is a description. "

40% off for this community*" is a* benefit.

And yes, the discount matters. Show that you understand that Reddit matters.

Look! It's Reddit as if it was an Adobe After Effects plugin.

This post pulls 50k+ views a month. That reach is the trade; you get in front of the whole post community, they get a real deal for engaging and wanting to try your product.

With the amount of vibe coding tools out there, it's harder than ever for both users and developers.

This thread runs every month. One slot per developer per month, not per tool.

Feature a different tool next month, or come back and update — one post isn't your only shot. Have a different tool of yours to show off? Post about it next month.

If you have an OPEN SOURCE TOOL, use this OTHER thread instead.

Before you post:

• Accounts under 30 days old can't post or comment. No exceptions.
• Read the Reddit hygiene guide first. Reddit admins have banned developers for breaking key basic Reddit rules.

Three steps:

1. Flair yourself Dev/Tools. Here's how. Do it before you comment. You need to do it in every subreddit you participate in. Each subreddit has this.
2. Post one top-level comment using this template. Break the template and we'll have to pull it.
3. Promote yourself where applicable, but instead of linking to your site… use the link to your comment here.

For redditors/editors and people in post

This only works if you push.

Engage. Push for answers. And yeah, call them out when they don't. Or downvote them. In other words Devs pay attention when you engage. So engage.

Vote on whether something helps you, the discount, their answers.

Ask the direct questions. Steal these:

• "What's the discount for this community?"
• "Is this still in beta? Why am I paying to test it?"
• "What's it cost after the intro price?"
• "What does this do that [the tool I already use] doesn't?"
• Justify your subscription price, especially when we can all see the API costs.

Everyone: See someone breaking the rules? Flag them. Two flags and the content gets pulled.

^((Issues?) **^(DM me)**^(. Join the) PostP Discord ^(if you're a working or aspiring pro —) *^(networking still beats every other way to find clients)*^(.)

^(Open source?) ^(The 15th of every month is Free For All Day: open source creators can post directly into the sub with the Open Source flair. Next one: Thursday, October 15.)

GOING TO IBC? We're doing a Reddit meetup - I'll be posting an update later today.

If you're a free user of DaVinci Resolve, take a really deep look at the 21.1 notes.

They're disabling quite a bit of Python and scripting. The reality is that Blackmagic has seen that people are using that to get around their division between the free and studio products. Just a heads-up: before you go and upgrade, you might find that all the scripts for little things like subtitles and the like are now broken.

Studio user

I know it's painful. Don't upgrade. Wait till at least Friday or next week. Let somebody else be the canary in the coal mine if this is how you make your living.

GOING TO IBC? We're doing a Reddit meetup on Sunday at 6pm- I'll be posting an update later today. It's free.

This is the Monthly thread for feedback.

We're adopting this from r/videoediting.

If you post your video, you need to come back and review AT LEAST one other person's work!

Key thoughts - Keep it civil.

• Feedback is "This section isn't working because of this."
• Feedback is not: "This is shit."
• If something is terrible, just move on.
• The more specific/suggestions the better.

Don't give a laundry list. Pick the 1-2 things that are the biggest issues and then comment.

Spoiler worth reading: *>!we expect you to* review TWO other videos - and edit your comment to *include those* after you've commented.!<

**Copy/paste this section**:

• Link: (don't forget the running time)
• Two other videos I reviewed (link to the other,comments NOT the video itself)

TL;DR: Flair yourself Dev/Tools, post one top-level comment using the template, and bring a real discount. In other threads, link back to your comment from this thread, not your site.

Building something commercial? That's the dev/tools thread, over here.

Maybe you vibe-coded something at 2am. Maybe you've been writing code for decades. Maybe you solved a post problem for yourself and figured someone else might need it too. This thread is for all of those good people.

No flair required.

No pitch required.

No discount required.

That's the whole point of open source. EVERYONE benefits. YES, even with AI assistance.

Open source people truly care about community

There's a lot of "everyone's a developer now" going around. I've written about what that's doing to post, and the concerns that come with it.

It's great because more of us "fix" what's broken.

Sometimes it'll solve your problems. Sometimes it'll be a start for you to solve problems.

One rule for this post.

Use the template below

Accounts under 30 days old cannot post or comment. No exceptions. (Commercial products using open source as a backdoor…yeah, we see you. It's not okay.)

The template (copy/paste the below section)

• Tool name:
• What it does:
• Why you built it:
• License type:
• Where to find it:

Don't have a license yet? Pick one.

Takes two minutes and it protects you and your users. We like MIT or GPLv3, but anything that genuinely gives it back is enough.

For everyone else

These people are giving their work away for free.

Upvote generously. Ask questions. Say thanks.

Found a bug? File it on GitHub. They didn't have to share any of this.

DIRECT PROMOTION EVERY MONTH ON the 25th - you'll be allowed to post directly into the subreddit with special flair!

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

Any time we get a number of flagged items, it automatically gets pulled, and a moderator manually removes it.

Thank you for your attention to this community service note.

We return you to your regularly scheduled program.

TL: DR - How do I get you (yes, you) involved?

Obligatory mention. Here's the link of the official Discord of r/editors with 1,000 members, including a number of professionals cutting films, tv shows and more.

It's for both professionals and aspiring professionals.

It requires verification (any of these will work: (Reddit/youtube/facebook/IG/Github/spotify/Steam/xbox).

Again: Discord Link here

Once you verify there are 15+ channels, including ones based on:

• Type of work (color, sound, audio)
• Software specific (Adobe, Apple, Avid, BMD)
• Quality of life (Show off your work, scream room, live tech help)
• and more.

What I'm trying to do? Get an engaged community outside of Reddit. I'm trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.

• It could be a Friday Lunch
• a virtual happy hour
• a game night 2x a month
• a virtual User Group event…

…but I'd like to know what you've seen that's engaging…and that gets you interacting with Discord

To me: Reddit is great for threaded conversations, Discord is great for live interactions.

(by the way, my biggest Discord tip is to mute a new server right away. That really helps notifications from becoming overwhelming.)

And yes, I'm happy to help anyone who feels that this is a new/strange domain or feels lost there. I go all the way back to IRC days.

This alternates on Sundays

## Would you like feedback on your reel? This is the place to do it!

**An essential point to remember**: A reel won't secure you a job any more than a business card or website will. While it might be necessary, it is not the primary means of obtaining work.

**You gain employment through a network you develop,** not via any online job site. Building a network takes time, which is advantageous, as it allows you to learn the field.

## Rules

* **Rule 1**: Submit your reel *and its running time* as a top-level comment (meaning you reply to this post directly)

* **Rule 2**: *Specify your professional experience in years* (paying taxes = years as a pro, novice).

* **Rule 3**: Indicate how you're monitoring. Is it with a mini monitor + a LG CX?.

* **Rule 4**: You must review two other reels. **TWO**. You have seven days to complete this task, responding to two different reels. **Then** edit the comment where you post your reel: and put and put the two user names.

**Acceptable platforms for posting**: Your Vimeo site or an unlisted YouTube link. If we find a link to a channel or a video with 10k views, we want you to know that this thread is not meant for such content.

* Two reels I reviewed:

There are a couple of tools blacklisted here in r/videoediting, and CapCut is now falling into that category.

We've seen the progressive move of valuable features like captioning behind their paywall. Licensing issues. Buggy software. Slim to zero support.

r/VideoEditing is meant to be a resource for people playing in the editing pool, not a substitute for support.

Is VFR an issue (sync, lag, dropped frames)? Yes, it is, for every editorial tool. It's the #1 issue on this subreddit.

But this behavior is different.

It's "hook a user," analyze their usage pattern, and if possible, move that feature behind a paywall.

Captioning in general, and audio-to-text on screen, costs pennies per month.

Not dollars. Not $30 a month.

We're seeing a major uptick in CapCut complaints and frustrations. Right now our software thread has two tools that are 100% local/browser based and can do some of these features for free.

What prompted this post:

About 20 months ago, they made an offer of a locked-in rate. I took it.

Three or four months later, they canceled my subscription just to prevent me from having that locked-in rate. This is bait-and-switch behavior from a company that barely even has a modicum of tech support.

And each time I did a round of discussion/pushback clarification it was like a brand new support incident with a brand new person.

Now, I could give you a really strong argument that Zoom falls into that, or Amazon, or Walmart. Getting to an actual human being with any continuity of support is almost nil.

I gave up on Capcut license support about this in February (after a year of fighting it.)

But yesterday, out of nowhere, I got a response from six months ago.

Additionally pain points (about 2 minutes of research):

• Cloud material grants them a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable license. Yeah, your face.
• If a user includes a trending sound or template that results in a copyright lawsuit, CapCut's terms dictate that the individual creator is legally and financially responsible.
• Basic tools, transitions, and export options are increasingly hidden behind the CapCut Pro paywall.

To be clear: this is not a thread to endorse other software (we have a monthly software thread for alternatives), and this is still a place that does not condone piracy.

I'm specifically looking to see how the community feels about the trend of capcuts behavior and horror stories. Yes, it's designed to attract a certain level of AIO/SEO attention.

I need some projects to experiment on and none of mine are corrupt. I don't need any media- just a project that premiere vomits on. I'm trying to solve a problem a client has right now.

Anyone have some?

Link here for a drop folder, good for a week

If I learn anything, I'm happy to share it.

I don't need any media or anything else - just the premiere project.

Thanks.
