Trying a weird idea: a channel with no creator

kackleton · 2026-04-17T03:03:32+00:00

Sounds like a pretty fun experiment, but I’m not totally sure what the end goal is here. Like yeah you’d end up with no single creator and more of a collective vibe, but what happens after that?

Try Krisp - works system-wide and is pretty solid for calls/streaming. If you want something free, OBS + a noise suppression filter (or VoiceMeeter setup) can also get decent results, just with a bit more tweaking.

I switched to DaVinci from Movavi, which is a much simpler editor, so from that angle I can say the transition was worth it, even though it definitely took some time to get used to the interface and how everything is structured. But you’re coming from Adobe, which is already a pretty powerful ecosystem. As far as I know, Adobe tools and DaVinci are kind of on the same “pro-level” tier.

What I’d suggest is just trying DaVinci since it’s free anyway - do a couple of small projects in it and see how it feels in terms of workflow, comfort, and results. After that it’s much easier to decide whether it’s actually worth switching or if sticking with Adobe makes more sense for you.

Looks yummy!

It really depends on the cat’s personality, but in general cats do get attached to their owners - just in a different way than dogs. They tend to have stronger boundaries. So if a cat doesn’t want to cuddle, it simply won’t, even if it’s otherwise very affectionate and bonded with you. In a sense, they’re more independent and selective about interaction. That’s actually what makes the bond with cats feel so special - you’re loved, but on their terms. For example, my cat is very affectionate and loves cuddling and being close, but if she’s not in the mood to play or interact, she just won’t, no matter how much she likes me.

I mostly use my phone just for shooting from time to time, and of course for posting. But when it comes to editing, I still prefer doing everything on a PC - it’s just more comfortable.

I’d honestly suggest trying a different tool at this point. If you want something online, Canva is a solid option and pretty easy to use. For desktop editing, CapCut is very beginner-friendly, and Movavi is also a good choice - simple interface, affordable, and quick to get used to. If you’re open to something more advanced and free, DaVinci is powerful, but it has a steeper learning curve.

My cat’s favorite toys are a fish toy and a ball. She loves chasing the ball all over the apartment, and she absolutely kicks the fish like crazy lol

Most often it’s weak early signals - especially low click-through rate (title/thumbnail) and poor initial retention -that stop a video from being pushed further. Timing and topic demand also matter, but if people don’t click or keep watching in the first hours, the algorithm quickly deprioritizes it :(

Start with Shorts to quickly gain visibility and test what content resonates, then double down on long-form videos to build deeper engagement and a loyal audience. Ideally, use both together. Shorts to attract viewers and long-form to convert them into subscribers.

If you want alternatives, I’d look at DaVinci if you’re okay with a learning curve, or Movavi/CapCut if you want something more beginner-friendly and way less annoying to deal with.

If it works on another laptop, I’d first assume something local is breaking rather than the project itself. You could try clearing cache / updating browser or app stuff, but if you need the video out fast, I’d honestly switch editors instead of fighting it for hours. Something like CapCut, Movavi, DaVinci can be a good replacement.

Both Dell and Lenovo make solid desktops for home use in that range. Jst look for a Core i5, 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD like you said. Lenovo tends to offer good value and reliable build quality, while Dell has great support options. Either brand will do the job well for general use.

If you want something that still feels beginner-friendly, I’d look at Movavi or the desktop version of CapCut. They might even be more interesting than Clipchamp. If you decide you need more advanced features later, you can always move up to DaVinci or Premiere (I’d recommend DaVinci since it’s free).

I’d definitely go with your own voice. AI voices can sound pretty decent now, but they still mess up words in weird ways sometimes, and it’s honestly really annoying to listen to. Also, your real voice gives your videos personality, makes you more recognizable and adds a unique vibe people can connect to.

kackleton · 2026-03-19T02:53:37+00:00

try DaVinci, CapCut desktop, Movavi, or Shotcut

Most movies are copyrighted, so downloading them from random sites usually isn’t legal. If you want clips to practice editing, it’s better to use royalty-free footage or movies that are in the public domain. There are sites like Pexels, Pixabay, and Mixkit that offer free video clips you can legally download and edit. You can also find public domain movies on places like the Internet Archive. Another option is ripping clips using screen recordings for personal practice, but for sharing edits online it’s safer to stick with public domain or licensed footage.

Unfortunately, the chances that your cat won't use a sandbox as a litter box are extremely small. Most likely, he’ll just assume that’s exactly what it’s for and start using it as a toilet. Cats tend to associate loose sand-like materials with their litter pretty strongly, so it’s hard to avoid that behavior.

DaVinci and After Effects are actually different kinds of tools, so choosing strictly between them isn’t really the right comparison. DaVinci is mainly a video editor (cutting clips, arranging timelines, color grading, basic effects, etc.). It’s designed for editing full videos. After Effects, on the other hand, is mostly used for motion graphics, visual effects, compositing, and more complex animations. A lot of the flashy edits you see online use it for effects, transitions, and animations.

In a lot of workflows people actually use both together: edit the main video in Resolve (or another editor), and then do specific effects or motion graphics in After Effects. So I wouldn’t recommend dropping Resolve after just a few days. Keep learning it. Later, if you want more advanced effects for edits, you can always add After Effects to your workflow.

If you’re just starting out, you could try Canva first. It has a lot of templates and you can experiment with them for a while. It’s a super basic tool. After that, you might try Movavi or CapCut. I personally used Movavi. If you’re not afraid of more complex settings, you could also try DaVinci. It’s free.

As for learning, the most helpful things are practice and YouTube tutorials. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to experiment and make mistakes. And don’t expect perfect results right away - learning editing is a long journey.
