r/editing

Hey as you can see below these are the specs of the laptop I want to be using to learn and and start editing

Specs-

8 GB DDR4 RAM

466 GB SSD NVME

1TB HDD

CPU- Intel core i5-1135G7 (2.40GHz Clock speed)

GPU- Nvidia GeForce MX350(2 GB💔)

IGPU- Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics (128MB🫩)

I live in India so it is not possible for me to use Capcut so what editing software would you recommend?

Hello so I wanted to ask for all the editors how did you get clients and how did you made your portfolios?

I’m looking to connect with serious video editors for upcoming creative projects.

Mainly looking for editors who can work on:

• Reels / TikToks / YouTube Shorts
• Short-form content
• Video ads
• Commercial-style edits
• Motion graphics
• Captions, sound design, pacing, and hooks

I’m not looking for basic clip cutters. I’m looking for people who understand retention, storytelling, clean visuals, and how to make videos engaging from the first few seconds.

If you’re interested, send me:

1. Your portfolio
2. Your editing niche
3. Your usual rates
4. Your availability
5. Your time zone

the editing software I'm currently using is lightworks and I have for like 4 years and I've decided to change because my videos only export at 720p max unless I pay a monthly subscription

I'm looking for someone who can help me edit a video for my college project. We recorded some videos during our field visit, but I don't know how to edit them.

The work is very simple—just trim the clips, arrange them, and add basic transitions. Nothing complicated.

Our submission is on Monday. If anyone is interested and can help, please DM me.

I am possibly going to work my way into YouTube and maybe even streaming if the time calls for it. With that being said I work a lot and want to find an editor who is relatively budget friendly/skilled.

I do not know the game's I will be playing yet. If I were to select a couple it would be chill indie games and Minecraft. Generally solo player games.

A couple things I do not want:

-Ai usage

-Over Saturated (over use of memes and filler)

That is pretty much it. Just DM and if you have a portfolio that would be great.

As the title says.

Need an editor who wants to transform their skills into building something real.

Currently the team can handle tech and everything but no editing 🥀

(we have no money to offer you, most of us are in college trying to build on this brilliant idea we have, what you will get is the opportunity to build something real and something very ambitious) If you got that kinda hunger then dm. Will explain every doubt and about the startup in dm.

Hello, i'm asking this for a friend so if i seem to be lacking info in this field, i'm sorry in advance. He's a self taught editor, uses da Vinci resolve, currently learning motion graphics online via some self tutoring.

He's a drop out and doesn't hold any degree in this field, though he knows a lot, and has recently been struggling to get good clients or placements cuz almost anywhere he applies for asks him for a degree certificate.

So he is specifically looking for a 6 months motion graphics 'certificate course' that is reasonably priced for what they offer and has good industrial connections or to help him land better placements/ clients.

If you have personnel experience with any of the institutes, do let me know.

He doesn't have a preference: online/offline/indian/global any would do just the degree should be worth his time and help him attract better clients.

Hey everyone!
I’m looking for a reliable editor to help create short-form content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and other platforms.
A little about me:
📈 1,500+ followers on TikTok
▶️ 900+ subscribers on YouTube
🎮 50+ followers on Twitch
Pay:
💰 $10–$20 per edit (depending on complexity)
🚀 If a video reaches 5,000+ views, I’ll pay an additional performance bonus.
I’m looking for someone who understands fast-paced, engaging edits with captions, sound effects, and memes when they fit the content. If you’ve edited gaming or creator content before, that’s a huge plus.
If you’re interested, send me a DM

Bro where can i get an editing job💔
i really need it

Hey, I'll keep this real.

I'm building a personal brand around my own story: a Belgian entrepreneur who got wiped out by a bankruptcy by getting scammed by my dad, left everything behind, and is now rebuilding from zero in Romania. Fitness, combat sports, cars, business but the spine is the comeback.
That's the arc every clip feeds: fall, rebuild, prove it. I'm not after a button-pusher. I want someone who watches a piece of footage and gets where it sits in that story where the tension is, where the hook lives, what to cut so it lands. An editor with a brain. Hence the title.

What I've got: a deep well of raw content, and more every week. Talking-head + actually doing the stuff (VLOGS), training, gambling and kickboxing footage, a motorcycle and a car build, plus behind-the-scenes of the rebuild. Plenty to clip, repurpose, and turn into a consistent Reels/Shorts pipeline. I don't need someone to hunt for footage — I need someone to make it hit.

The work:

• Short-form: Reels / TikTok / Shorts, 9:16
• ~3 videos/week to start, ongoing and growing for the right person
• Hook-first edits, clean synced captions, tight pacing, B-roll used with intent
• Togi style video's.

Pay: this is paid, ongoing work, not exposure, not "for the portfolio." [drop your price here e.g. €X per reel]. I'll start with one paid test edit so we both know it's a fit before committing.

Interested? Drop 2–3 of your best talking-head / short-form edits and one line on which creators' editing you take from.

Hello, I am 21 and my sister is turning 18, now in Europe that is a big thing and i am in charge of making a video so they can cast it with the projector on the screen in the restaurant. Now I am new at this, never made a video only at capcut, I do know what two sounds i wanna use but have no idea about how to have sound smooth transition or how to edit videos etc. Please give me advice any recommendation for the app, I'll probably edit video on the laptop or tablet. So please any suggestions, advice I'm open to it, have no clue at what im doing

I've been looking at the features, and it seems pretty useful, but not sure if I want to bite the bullet and buy it. However, I do think that I need to level up my game, so tips are appreciated.

What I do: Been making shorts and longs as a hobby, also make music videos as a hobby. I don't intend to pursue this full time, but I also want to do the best job I can do and streamline my process to save time. Plus I'm optimistic I'll see slow growth into decent channel success over time.

What I've been doing: Shotcut (free SW). It's actually pretty decent, but it's very manual.

My goal: Make editing easier/faster. Specifically, >50% of my editing time on shorts is in typing out subs myself, so really what I'm investigating is a SW/AI that can take care of that part for me.

Budget: tbh I can afford it without much concern ($22/mo), but I still prefer to save as much as possible just as a general principle. If the only advantage over Shotcut is subtitling, I wonder if there are cheaper services out there that only do captions that I can use?

I'm def not a skilled editor and mostly do the bare minimum. Not trying to make blockbuster films, even my music videos are mostly play-alongs that I manually sync my playthrough to my music. I'm not against learning better editing, I try to pick things up, but it's really a time issue. So it's time for me to pay to save my time.

Thanks!
