My girlfriend just got h1red at her university to edit videos (noarly reels for Instagram and 20 second videos recorded with an iphone). She's supposed to finish w0rk on her personal machine at home. Both Premiere Pro and After Effects 2026 are completely broken, constant crashes and freezing.

**Her setup:**

- Acer: i5 12th gen, RTX 3050, 32GB RAM, Windows 11 (fully updated, recent (9months)/clean install) , 2 SSD (non raid). 512+1TB.

- All drivers current, reinstalled GPU driver with DDU.

- Already reinstalled Premiere (After Effects still crashing)

- Hardware is definitely overkill for this work I guess.

**The problems:**

- Premiere: stuttering, freezing, lags and crashes.

- After Effects: crashes while working or says "insufficient memory" (even with simple projects)

- Both programs randomly stutter during editing basic iPhone clips.

**What we've tried:**

- Full reinstall of Premiere.

- Updated drivers and Windows

- Windows maintenance.

**The memory issue is bizarre** — Forza Horizon 6 runs at 60fps high settings with zero issues, but a simple MP4 tanks both Adobe apps.

Is this a known 2026 issue? Any actual solutions? She's stressed about losing the j0b and has tight deadlines. Appreciate any help.

We're from 3rd world country so our financial situation is not the best, right now getting a new device is nearly impossible.

So for almost a year now, I have been editing TV show/movie edits and when I create them inside CapCut, they look good. They have good quality and they’re smooth but when I upload them to TikTok.
They’ll be good at the start but Depending on the file size if it’s under 30 MB, the video last one to three days if its normal file size without lowering bit rate, they are lasting 2 1/2 weeks. The quality gets distorted to the point where it’s a muddy look, and gets a little laggy. The video gets compressed so hard to the point where it’s literally unwatchable not to mention the covers are always distorted and look bad. I’ve been trying to fix this problem for almost 6 months now with multiple AI programs and haven’t found a solution. I’ve heard it was my aspect ratio due to me uploading in 1080 X 1080 instead of 1080 X 1920 but I don’t think that’s the solution just because the covers still come out bad and the actual frame of the video is not in the normal place on the tiktok feed screen compared to after effect editors but other than that I’ve tried everything. Is there anyone that knows a solution?

Ok so i am trying to make a video looking like the photo sent is there any website to make a video look like this?

i am looking for an app on mobile that has the ability to stretch ratios. (as shown, stretching a 4:3 video to 1:1) i like the distorted look of it and since i edit all my instagran reels on my phone for efficiency, im hoping to find an app that has this feature, ive tried a ton of apps but none of them are able to do this. please suggest some apps that can

thank you

I know that Instagram doesn't support 60 fps and only supports 30 fps, but Many of the videos there appear to be at 60 fps​ So, could anyone help me?

I’ve completed my Edit Page training. What should I do next to actually practice what I’ve learned and get a deeper understanding of it?

Should I spend some time practicing the concepts from the training first, or should I move on to other videos and come back to practice later?

What would you recommend?

Hi, I am still new at video editing and haven’t dabbled into too much and have mostly used the basic/free options to edit like on canva or adobe express or even tiktok. but I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me learn how to make this effect. Here’s a link to the video: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8cqEdQN/
I am trying to create something similar with the before and after in the background, but want to make the on and off sliding overlay.

Thanks! I appreciate any help I can get!

Basically I have a 0.5x slow motion footage that was recorded at 30fps, so Im going to speed it up 2x in premiere to be 60 fps with normal speed motion.

Since is my first time doing this I just want to be sure, I suppose I just have to create a 60 fps sequence, put the 30 fps footage there and set the speed to 200%, right? So I don't end up having to re render or redo work.

Or is there a correct way to do or some kind of effect?

Thanks guys!

Hi, I'm on Samsung phone but also have a laptop. I have a video shot in 960 fps slow mo and would like to know if there is an easy way to split a small segment into indivual frame by frame footage, not just using the scroll though video slowly. Any help or tips will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You can get them all from this page here with no sign up, no ads or newsletter nonsense. Just scroll down a little bit until you see all the packs.

24 packs added for August/September including Loops, Foley, Sound effects, a lot of live recordings from around the world and some other experimental packs I had fun playing about with. Packs including recordings from Kosovo, Cairo, Dublin, Madrid and the Sahara desert in which I got to record a live Moroccan band playing into the night. I also got to record some Traditional Irish music sessions while in Dublin and have posted some of the recordings! Theres also lots of leftover foley and SFX from some past games that were not used including Character voices in the style of Sims and Animal Crossing, Monster Growls and Grunts which is my personal fav and Polar Wind ambiences along side lots of other SFX and foley. For experimental percussion sounds I made one shots from the sound of pistachio shells and another pack from the sound of pebbles falling onto tin cans which could be useful for anyone who enjoys organic or experimental percussion in the productions. There also some other loop packs that I messed around with such as 8bit Bongo percussions and an old pack of Synthetic guitar loops that i recently came across again. Hope these can be useful to someone out there.

With Squarespace it does ask for a lot of personal information so you can use this site to make up fake address and just use a fake name and email if you're not comfortable with providing this info. I don't use it for anything but for your own piece of mind this is probably beneficial.

Feel free to use anything you like, everything is CC0, so no need to credit me or the site. Just grab what you need and make cool stuff. I'd love to see what you create if you feel like sharing!

If you'd like to see what other people have said about the samples you can see here in a recent post I made in a different subreddit.

Join me at r/musicsamplespacks if you would like as that is where I will be posting all future packs and little behind the scenes videos. If you guys know of any other subreddits that might benefit from these sounds feel free to repost it there.

I was streaming with a friend and had Streamlabs record my stream but it was recording both my mic and my discord VC. Is there a way to fix the file so only the discord and game are heard? I am using davinci resolve. I want to upload the stream to my youtube.

I downloaded a bunch of assets from thespriteresource to use on my video, but the image resolution is too low. I already tried upscaling the image in photoshop but they're still a bit blurry and they look weird, is there anything else i can try?

(CAPCUT WINDOWS 9.2.0.3931)

"0903 (4)" is 1920 x 1080, 30fps animation that has 7 seconds of actual motion. the rest of it is black with audio.

for comparison, as shown in the screenshot,

"1 W4NT T0 B3 4 M4CH1N3" is 3840 x 2160, 30fps, 30 second animation loaded with drawings, effects and keyframes.

i have ZERO idea why 0903 is so large.

"0903 (3)" (the same as the problem video, btw) exports at 5.5MB.

"1 W4NT T0 B3 4 M4CH1N3" exports at 89MB

not only that, but "0903 (4)" (and all its previous versions i made using the import subproject tool) are all extremely laggy - to the point that i cannot use it. ive already cleared cache and proxy.

the only thing in the project is a GIF, a series of PNG's, and the audio i was using.

i have no idea why this is happening; it's making editing impossible because its so laggy.

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

Hey everyone,

I run a faceless channel, and planning visuals has become my biggest workflow bottleneck.

When writing a script, I find it really hard to brainstorm visuals on paper. I almost always end up dropping the voiceover into the editor and improvising visuals on the timeline—searching for B-roll, overlays, and sound effects on the fly through pure trial and error.

The issue is that this feels painfully slow and inefficient. Every tutorial says you should pre-plan every scene and gather all your assets before opening your editing software, but my brain struggles to visualize pacing until I actually see clips on the screen.

For those of you making faceless content:

• Do you fully script visual cues and batch-download assets beforehand? Or do you build it dynamically in the editor?
• If you pre-plan, what does your system look like? 
• How did you break the habit of endless timeline trial-and-error?

Curious to hear how you balance workflow speed without losing creative flow.

Recently bought s25 FE and capcut's smooth slow mo isn't working at all. I tried the same application, same video on another device but it works just fine. Any tips?

Hello, I am requesting some assistance with an efficient work flow for the new project I’m working on. I signed on for a side hustle where I’m combing through a college game (about an hour’s worth of footage), identifying all plays when a specific player is on the field adding said plays to the timeline and then adding an arrow above the players head manually for the first second or two of each game.

This process is usually pretty easy for certain positions like QB and Lineman. But cornerbacks and wide receivers it can take about two hours to handle. The goal is 25 videos a week. I’m wondering if there are any improvements to my process, tools I should utilize, or general tips I should know to improve the speed on my edits.

Additional context I’m using Davinci Resolve 21, which I have been using now for a couple of weeks and I’m still learning.

i swear to god Capcut's effects and animation whether its for text or image, get shuffled or just sometimes "gone" daily, im maybe retarded for saying this but its so frustrating

Hey! I’m looking for an experienced video editor to edit a trailer for an upcoming visual novel game.

Rate: $25/hr. The project is estimated to require around 4 hours of editing.

This is a serious project, so I’m looking for someone with a strong portfolio and experience editing cinematic or promotional content. Previous experience editing game trailers is a major plus.

You’ll also need to add Chinese subtitles alongside the English subtitles. All subtitle text is already typed out and will be provided.

If interested, DM me directly on Reddit with:

- Your Discord username

- Your editing portfolio

- Any previous game trailers you've edited, if applicable

Please don't DM without a portfolio.

Example of the editing style we're looking for:

Genuine question.

I’ve been doing more multicam live-event work recently and I've started wondering whether I,’ve been approaching the whole thing wrong.

With a typical DJ set you've got something like:

* DJ camera
* Wide
* Crowd
* Roaming camera

The actual edit isn't particularly complicated, but deciding which camera should be on at every moment means watching a *lot* of footage which takes up a lot of my time.

Especially when you're trying to react to things happening in the crowd, drops, transitions, hands going up, movement around the booth etc.

Anyone uses software that does that beginning shot selection pass?

Curious how other people handle this.

Do you manually cut everything?

Have you got a system for choosing cameras?

Or have you found anything that actually does a decent job automatically?

Bonjours chers amis d'internet. Je compte poster sur YOUTUBE une vidéo sur la finance où je parlerais dans un micro sauf que je ne sais jamais sur CAPCUT quels réglages je dois mettre en terme de volume de ma voix et volume de la musique de fond pour que ce soit très agréable à l'oreille du spectateur. Quelqu'un peut m'aider? merci !

Looking for Video Editing Software? THIS is your thread!

This post covers the vast majority of "What software should I use?" questions. It’s designed as a self-serve guide to help people find the right tools fast.

TL;DR? DaVinci Resolve for full-featured editing, Olive/Kdenlive for open-source, Clipchamp for easy basics.

Isn’t there an AI that magically edits everything?

Not yet. If it existed, we'd scream about it from the rooftops.

Stick around—things are changing quickly.

Before You Ask Anything

You must know two things first:

1. Your Footage Type — Different codecs affect performance dramatically.
2. Your Hardware Specs — “Good gaming PC” is not useful.

Not Good With Computers? Here’s How to Check

Footage

Footage from phones, webcams, GoPros, and screen recordings can choke your system.

Check with: https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

Common problems:

• Out-of-sync audio? Likely Variable Frame Rate.
• Bad playback? Usually a hardware limitation, not the editor. Use proxies.

More info in our wiki:

• Codecs/containers: https://www.reddit.com/r/VideoEditing/wiki/codecsandcontainers/
• VFR issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/VideoEditing/wiki/faq/vfr/
• Proxies: https://www.reddit.com/r/VideoEditing/wiki/faq/proxies/

Hardware

Minimum viable editing rig:

• Recent i7 CPU
• 16GB RAM
• A GPU with 4GB+ VRAM
• SSD for cache

Check system with: https://www.hwinfo.com/

We ONLY need: CPU model, RAM amount, GPU model + VRAM.

Recommendations

Full Power, Free Tools

DaVinci Resolve — 99% of the full program is free.

Easy but Limited

• Clipchamp — Microsoft's simple editor.
• VN Editor — Free, lightweight, watermark at end.

(CapCut now hides many features behind Pro.)

Professional Tools (obligatory mention)

• Premiere Pro — Industry standard; huge ecosystem, tons of tutorials, widely used across YouTube, corporate, and broadcast.
• Avid Media Composer — Dominant in film/TV pipelines; rock-solid for longform, multicam, and shared workflows.
• DaVinci Resolve Studio — $299 one-time; advanced color, better GPU performance, noise reduction, and the good AI tools.
• Final Cut Pro — Mac-only rocket ship; insanely fast on Apple Silicon, great for fast turnaround work.

Open Source - Totally free.

• Olive Editor — Clean UI.
• Kdenlive — Very capable, actively developed.
• ShotCut — Straightforward, good for beginners.
• OpenShot — Simple but can struggle with heavier projects.
• Avidemux — Old-school, powerful for specific tasks but not a great editor.

Special Effects

• Resolve Fusion — Node-based power.
• Cavalry — Motion-graphics oriented.

Editing in a Browser (Run Locally)

BEFORE YOU COMMENT

Begin with: "I read the above"

Then provide:

• CPU + Model
• RAM
• GPU + VRAM
• Footage details (camera/screen, codec, container, framerate)

Removed tools: CapCut (now Crapcut), HitFilm (dead). FFS this thread isn’t about arguing what to use, but rather for a novice to figure out what to use.

This is the Monthly thread for feedback.

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)
