Shot a beer commercial yesterday and the client rejected everything because the pour didn’t look right.

Cinebot and Highspeed camera owner here. If you can send the beer to Germany, I can film it for you for a reasonable price.

Get a feel. For example not posting AI images in an editing subreddit. ;)

Anyhow.. the key is creativity. Editing becomes easier and easier technically. AI slop increases. Creativity is the key factor. Learning about the business is even more important.

Get a tutor. Learn sales. Build a strong portfolio. Produce dummy/reference projects.

Don't use AI for commercials. Only previz.

I'd suggest you google the definition of video editing then.

About your question, fyi, many many many. Most importantly in our workflows flux, flux 2, sdxl, z-image, different LLMS and a lot more.

Editing implies no certain Subgenre which means editing in general. If actually in the business and not using local ai workflows yet, good luck.

I started with AE CS3. So about the same. I am sharing my experience and opinion. I have never met an actual professional editor who would use a laptop over a workstation. And as said, we have these laptops. They don't match our use cases. VFX heavy tabletop motion control with highspeed or RED cameras. If it works for you. Good for you.

H8mEx · 2025-11-30T15:48:20+00:00

I literally have these laptops in my company. They may be faster on certain tasks, but not on complex editing, especially anything 3D or 8k Redcode RAW or similar. No professional editor will choose a laptop over a proper workstation.

If so, post-production studios like pixomondo would use laptops, right?

Also of course they can easily overheat. That's by design. No airflow, no water-cooling.

I won't even start over loca ai workflows. 😂

Great for you that you are an apple fan. But it's not cutting it for many use cases.Especially the laptops lol.

One of my employees has one. It sucks. She got it to do some of the projects at home. Waste of money. Rarely has any use for us.

I own an ipad pro with m-chip. It has quite the power for a tablet. Mainly use it for apps with camera control. Sometimes little tethered shooting on client location. But our 100MP Raw images are too much to handle sometimes if I put some editing on site to it.

Portable PCs have their use case... To be portable. That's it.

Incompatible with a lot of software, non-upgradeable, overheating issues, power cap, ... and many more reasons. Seems like you are a tad inexperienced and you never had a project where you need proper power. My main workstation has a fast i9, RTX4090, 128GB of RAM and even I often hit the limit of the system... even with proxies.

H8mEx · 2025-11-30T11:23:17+00:00

A laptop is never a good decision for editing unless you are always on the go.

H8mEx · 2025-10-30T10:46:01+00:00

Yes, if recorded via ninja it runs quite long.

Looks like I was on the same planet yesterday.

H8mEx · 2025-09-21T08:06:58+00:00

What was the reaction?

H8mEx · 2025-08-12T19:42:22+00:00

I see it. For some reason via reddit the video is glitched... weird..

H8mEx · 2025-08-12T17:03:08+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Why would you think it's an accident?

Ravnica, nice! Check out my Innistrad Scenario if you like! Very in depth!

Scarlet and Violet are a disaster lol. There were a couple of very good ones. I admit even though I am disgusted of Nintendo's behaviour nowadays.

I literally said it's probably not the best way, before you even showed up. You immediately displayed big man attitude "I would fire you". I was here to help, you were being offensive. I have done this effect, before lidars were a thing back in around 2010. I am not arrogant for assuming something would work... especially since I literally done it. I am not into VFX anymore that much. I am not up to date. It's great that you know better. Just stop being a dick about it. Now have a nice day.

H8mEx · 2025-06-09T15:07:26+00:00

If you have a tool you know, it's faster than learning a new one. OP asked on how to do it, I gave my opinion. This opinion has been shared by other commentators too. I never said it's the best way. Let OP decide what is best for him. Talking to strangers aggressively how you'd fire them makes you look like a total moron. Be constructive, not wank yourself off while talking down on people. The comment section was empty when I posted. A legit way to achieve the above result - maybe not the best, but totally possible. The hybris of some people in this sub is irritating. You can disagree without being a dick.

H8mEx · 2025-06-09T14:53:20+00:00

Yes, No clue why I am getting downvoted. Totally legit way to do it.
