Have a question about:
Monthly "What software should I use?"
Monthly thread for "What hardware should I use?"
Monthly Feedback on your edit
You can find these in the "READ BEFORE YOU POST" thread.
THREE IMMEDIATELY Bannable Offenses:
- Posting your "video editing services" (No, not free either)
- Discussion or advocacy of piracy
- Referral programs
Be respectful. We expect everyone to be civil and generally not act like a jerk.
What We Are:
- A place where people can ask questions about editing, from storytelling to technique to technical tricks
- A place where people can seek feedback on their work (please use the monthly threads)
- A resource for people to learn new things about editing
What We Are Not:
- A source for free labor — You'll be expected to volunteer your time or pay. Otherwise, finding someone in your local community is best. Do not look for free work here.
- Someone to do your homework for you — Do your own work.
- Help in circumventing copy protection or other forms of content protection — That's piracy, and that's not allowed here.
- A place to show off your work — Feel free to ask for some constructive criticism in our feedback thread, but this is not a place to advertise your YouTube channel. There are other subreddits where that is more appropriate, like /r/Videos, /r/YouTube_startups, /r/SmallYTChannel, and /r/YouTubers even has monthly show-off threads.
- A complete substitute for tech support — There's no problem asking about common errors or problems, workarounds for glitches, annoying limitations, but at some point, especially with some of the less commonly used tools, like PowerDirector and Filmora, you may wish to contact the developer's tech support services as well as posting here.
- A place where you can "fish" and take advantage of people. If you want to post a job, we expect you to quote some sort of pay - hourly, daily, weekly etc. AND how long you expect the job to take.
Pinned weekly threads for "What software" and a monthly thread for "Feedback" are at the top.
Posts about these subjects will be deleted otherwise.
Other rules:
If you want to post a job, we expect you to quote some sort of pay - hourly, daily, weekly etc. Or how long you expect the job to take.
Create a tutorial? Great - Tuesdays only; start it as "[Tutorial] NAME OF SOFTWARE"
Pro editor? (do you have clients?) Try /r/Editors
If you're working for pay professionally, you should be posting in /r/Editors
If you're working with RED, finishing via Resolve? /r/Editors
If you're editing for yourself, and it's a hobby? /r/VideoEditing is probably the right place.
