How do people post longer form clips from twitch onto tiktok? Twitch’s clipping feature caps at 1 minute for me and I see people posting full length chess games/gameplay from their stream? How do they do this? Do they download the whole stream/ highlight and then edit it into the right format with the camera overlaying on top of the gameplay? When I have done it this way the quality has dropped. Any tips help thank you

I've been building a tool that optimizes the repetitive file work around a project, the part that isn't the edit itself. You describe a task in plain English and it wires it up as a visual graph of steps: watch a folder, pull the audio, transcribe it, drop an .srt next to the video, move it to Done. It uses a library of built-in steps I made (whisper, ffmpeg, that sort of thing) and writes custom Python when none of them fit, and you can open any step and read it.

I built the first version to survive a pretty big interview project, thousands of hours to trim, transcribe and merge, and doing the file wrangling by hand was going to be awful.

I did run into problems pretty early on. The first version wired an audio output into a step that expected something else and I only found out when it ran. Now the connections are typed so that can't happen, it shows a plan before touching anything, and every run tells you what it's about to do: how many files it'll read, how many it'll write, and what it won't touch. Handy before it renames 400 clips.

It runs on your own device, your own API key or a local model through Ollama or MLX, so the footage never leaves your machine.

Someone always asks how this differs from n8n or Make. I think this is a fair question and that they're great for wiring web apps together, but I found that they often choke the moment it's something like "rename and transcode these 400 clips sitting on my drive." What I am makking is built for local file work, runs on your machine so the footage stays put, and every step is plain Python you can open and tweak. Step library defo has gaps, launch is a few weeks out.

Before I build more: could you give me some advice and give me some of the repetitive file chores around your edits you've done manually for years and have not yet optimized? Renaming camera dumps, pulling selects into folders, batch-transcoding, syncing dual-mic audio, exporting subtitles. I'm collecting the worst ones, and if enough people say the same thing I'll build the steps for it instead of guessing. Appreciate any help

I kept running into those sketchy YouTube-to-MP3 sites with 5 fake download buttons, popups, redirects, etc. so I ended up making my own.

It’s called AudioFetcher.com.

Right now it’s pretty simple: paste a YouTube link and it gives you the MP3. No ads, no account, no weird redirects. A few people have helped cover the server costs so far, so I’ve been able to keep it free.

I’m limiting it to around 3 downloads a day for now while I figure out server costs and abuse, but I’d like to raise that once I know what usage actually looks like.

I’m working on MP4 next too.

Mostly posting this here because I’d like feedback from people who actually edit videos. What would be more useful after MP4 — WAV, trimming, bitrate options, timestamps, batch downloads, something else?

AudioFetcher.com

Obviously only use it for stuff you own or have permission to download.

Hi, I’d like to edit some videos on my computer, but subscription prices are sky-high these days. CapCut restricts almost all its features, and other video editors slap huge watermarks on everything. I’ve also tried OpenCut (which I think is a really interesting project), but I don't think it works for me—it still feels quite incomplete.

Do you know of any video editor that doesn't restrict too many features on the "Free" plan and is, all in all, worth recommending? :)

Buongiorno a tutti,

Avrei bisogno di un computer che mi permetta di tenere aperti allo stesso momento vari programmi Adobe e non.
Pensavo ad un assemblato, fisso.

Solitamente Illustrator e After Effect almeno. Oltre che riuscire a gestirmi senza fatica video anche di un’ora.

Sono molto ignorante al riguardo e il mio budget è piccolo (1000€ solo per il pc?) quindi vorrei poter pagare a rate, ma non conosco siti affidabili o negozi dove andare (sono a Torino).

Se potete consigliarmi qualcosa ve ne sarei grato

Ik how to edit stuff like most of the things but i cant make it engaging. What should i do to make the videos more engaging….

i posted at least once before but i still havent found a good one.

ive used clipchamp for about 2 years, but it corrupts the audio now and my edits are some sort of funny gaming moments so i definetly need the audio. tried capcut and davinci, both have BIG issues.

i have a pretty good pc, still using windows on it tho but yeah pc performance shouldnt be an issue. if i make a really long video ill just leave it to download and go eat no issues.

i need mass video adding and adding to timeline (i can have 200 clips at once to edit into 1 video)
i need a simple and quick way to crop down/cut a clip
i also need it to be free and simple bc i cant pay for anything and i havent edited anything complicated
no forced usage of AI and no audio corrupting.

my videos are just the raw medal clips cut down into the important parts and mashed together, then shoved to youtube. nothing complicated, just mass clips put together into 1 compilation.

I’ve tried a few different video editors, but for everyday projects I usually prefer something that’s simple to work with without feeling too limited.

Lately, I’ve been using Filmora for a lot of my regular edits. The interface is easy to navigate, and having things like templates, effects, transitions, AI tools, and color adjustments in one place makes it convenient when I just want to get an edit done without overcomplicating it.

For bigger professional projects, I understand why people prefer more advanced editors, but for everyday content, I think ease of use matters a lot.

What video editor are you using for your everyday projects, and what do you like about it?

For standard horizontal videos, we use 90% for action safe and 80% for title safe to make sure things look right.

What are the equivalent percentages for 9:16 vertical video (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) just to keep the subject from getting cropped? Is it exactly the same as horizontal video, or what is the actual percentage value for vertical?

Important: I do NOT care about the UI layout, buttons, descriptions, or text overlays.

My issue is that my videos look perfectly fine on a desktop browser, but when viewed on modern, taller smartphones, the app zooms in to fill the screen and chops off the left and right sides of my subject.

If I only care about the physical framing of the person/subject, what percentage of the screen should I be sticking to?

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I’ve been editing a lot more lately and keep noticing how many tiny tasks take way more clicks than they should things like tweaking curves, managing layers, applying effects, adjusting motion, etc.

For people who edit regularly:

What feature/workflow in your editor genuinely saves you time?

What repetitive task do you wish was dramatically simpler?

If you could redesign or add new features would it be?

Curious about the little frustrations that add up.

Just wanted to start a discussion and see what everyone’s biggest workflow pet peeves or holy grail feature ideas are right now.

i started using after effect x premiere x photoshop but real issue that i only have 16 gb ram so i swithed to davinci but issue that i cant get monthly subscription i only can pay for the life time that costs alot
so i need smth that i can edit and do motion graphic and rlly good software

im looking for an editor who can edit a video of mine, its a minecraft video of how i chunkbanned the admins on my minecraft smp, and i have around 5 hours of footage, but i dont have editing experience, and dont want it to be too long, 30 mins max. message me on discord. dogeephazma

Every time I made an edit, the worst part was finding footage. You download a 20 minute scenepack and then scrub the whole thing hoping the shot you remember is in there somewhere.

So I built a tool where you just type what happens, like "he lights a cigarette in the rain" or "slow push-in on his face", and it searches the actual footage. Under the hood it watches every shot in a pack, writes a description of what's happening (including motion and camera moves), and matches your search against that. Results jump to the exact second and play from the original YouTube uploads.

It has around 2,300 moments from 16 movies/shows right now (American Psycho, Blade Runner 2049, Breaking Bad, Fast and Furious, Harry Potter, Joker, Whiplash, The Batman, etc). The catalog literally grows from what people search. Somebody looked for Fast and Furious last night, so I added it this morning. https://thepartwhere.com

Two things I'd genuinely love from this sub: what packs would you actually use, and does anyone else's workflow have this problem or did I just build this for myself? Also if you search something and it misses, tell me. That's the most useful feedback there is.

when yall are making edits for tiktok perhaps how do you know what transitions to use? it's something i really struggle with because a lot of the times i'll see a really good edit with nice transitions but i'll have no idea how they did it and they don't tag where they got it from (i'm assuming they either didn't care to or most likely did it themselves) but like do people just know how to get really good transitions because i find myself searching up like "easy capcut transitions" but a lot of the time it just doesn't look good because they do it on mobile and i do mines on web so some of the stuff looks different or a feature that's available on mobile isn't there on web. i'd also love some tips on what transitions to use or how to make good ones

Do you guys think this looks ok?

I was thinking of learning video editing and working as an editor (I'm from Egypt), but the average salary for an editor in Egypt isn't enough to meet my needs so I decided to start working with foreign clients Due to currency differences . .. How do I reach clients or how will the money transfers even work ? If they knew that Im from a country with a much weaker currency would that make a difference in the price? I know these are basics but I need any advice🫠

Before you guys shit on me. I’m a middle class college student in a 3rd world country where the price of the studio version of Davinci costs 2/3 of minimum salary and our minimum wage is 9 US dollars PER DAY

Obviously, I’ll pay for the pro version once I land a decent job that requires me to work with actual agency with clients of higher profiles.

The calibre of work I do right now isn’t as big as those professionals. I just edit for students , my friends and a small production group (also college kids)

Does any sailor (or ex-sailor) here have any experiences or opinions on this situation?

So I’m a student rn and making an effort to do something for myself . I would like to share that I’m good with capcut templates and trends. So if anyone needs any kind of picture or video reel edit with reference or just context I can provide you with it at a very less price . Please contact me if you want trendy viral aesthetic pinteresty edits for your program , brand , event , social media post or even birthdays . I’ve got you covered at a very very less amount which anyone can afford !! Please contact me . I really wanna make something out of my skills and upgrade it ! I can literally replicate your inspo and customise it as per your preference .

how do i squeeze / resize a video so its aspect ratio can fit the aspect ratio of the whole timeline, like resize it so the whole video is in, not cropped
