We're a hobby subreddit. If you're a professional, you want r/editors (you make your living doing this.)
While aspirational questions are fine, aspiring professional questions should go in the "Ask a Pro" thread on r/editors***.***
Make sure you search the subreddit, as many common questions have been answered before.
At the top of the sub is an image that looks like this:

and
but what computer should I buy to edit my 8K H.264 variable frame rate video with smooth playback. my budget is $50
I think the latest BlackBerry would handle that well.
First of all, editors cannot handle variable framerate. NONE.
Multiple NLEs have VFR compensation, including Premiere Pro.
But 8K H.264... That's going to need to be proxied, unless you have a super computer.
A $50 NLE isn't even going to handle those Raster Sizes. He's going to need something higher end: Avid Media Composer, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, Resolve Studio, HitFilm Pro (I think?), etc. ~300 is basically the baseline for a decent NLE that will handle those rasters for import and export (although I'll assume he's going to export to UHD, or something more manageable).
(VEGAS Pro/Movie Studio cannot handle this footage. It only handles up to 4K X 4K Resolution).
Shouldn't most cameras that record 8K have an option for ProRes or DNxHR (at least)?
Well, at least you just saved me from having to google every single one to see if there's one that doesn't screw up my shadowplay clips. Guess I'll just use VLC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What gave it away?
8k on a hobbyist sub:)
Too many advanced details for a beginner.
The $50 budget slipped through though haha
Does this subreddit have weekly Q&A threads?
I think /photography started doing that a while ago as a giant net to catch all the routine questions and comments.
Am I allowed to make a post, asking to hire a video editor on here or is that something that will get removed?
It'll get removed unless you state the $/hr or the Total and the expected time. Yes, we'll 100% shame you for asking people to work for near to zero.
Thank you for letting me know! No worries, I know that work isn't free and am not a teenager without money. What are the usual hourly rates if I might ask?
It's a minimum of what your time is worth, isn't it? What's your time worth?
This sub needed this. Nice
Hi, the 3rd link to hardware seems to link to software as well. I'm interested in finding out what hardware is recommended when using DaVinci Resolve 15 for working with 1080p content.
I'm currently considering getting a Ryzen 2600, an 8GB Rx 580, 16GB RAM, and an SSD with 500MB/s write. Will want to use this to stream & game with as well. Thank you for your help.
Fixed. And post in the hardware thread
Okay, thanks.
Would a post like this be ok? (I edit for my gaming YouTube channel) “I put so many hours into editing. Sometimes people don’t understand just how long it can take to edit things. Do you guys often feel like the hours you put in aren’t worth it(due to how well video is received)? Does that feeling ever go away?”
Don't create art for views. Create it for yourself. If you're chasing popularity, it's something that even money can't buy.
No it’s mainly just funny videos for me and my friends. But I would be cool if it eventually took off on its own pace. And I want my editing skills to evolve and get better. But. It’s hard to tell apart constructive criticism from people just dicks.
We have a dedicated thread (see above) for exactly this sort of thing.
Ok :3

[HOW-TO] I want to know how I can recreate this effect(see link) of people changing t-shirts and revealing a different person. If you can direct me to any YouTube tutorials or explain how to do I'd be grateful (preferably in premier).

Template based video editor
Hi there
Is there a templatized video editor out there to create short stories/videos? (not for social media).
eg: A template could be "Day at the beach" - that you just add your videos to, and out pops a cool stylized video? Obviously would be great to edit it afterwards.
Tx
I've only seen this on Mobile; it doesn't mean it doesn't exist - it means that we haven't seen much traction from a reputable company that does this.
I have got beautiful articles for this https://talkgeria.com/how-to-edit-youtube-videos/

Wrong place. See the post please.
I used a free trial of splice x to do a split scene and mask am object. I now purchased the program but the free trial expired pops up every time i plug it in. How do i remove the free trial from popping up
No audio? I'm using DaVinci Resolve, latest version (just got it today). I'm trying to edit some MKV files to make a different cut of a tv episode but I'm not getting any audio. I do get audio for some other files so I'm not sure what's going wrong. The files do have proper audio through VLC.
Just post in the main part of the sub. Likely it's a codec that Resolve doesn't like.

I have a xps15 9560 and I just bought a 10bit monitor (up3017). Do any of you have found a good setup solution to ouput and have 10 bit?
You want our software or hardware post - not this one.
What's a good, free video editing software I can use?
I've used Adobe Premiere in my classes, but that's about it.
Wrong place. Take a look at the link in the post.
Hey guys check out my latest AMV here. I’d love feedback on it so tell me what you think https://youtu.be/LfkGMPI0Jkw
Wrong place. You want the feedback thread from the post.
Oh sorry I thought this was the thread. Can you link it if you don’t mind?
Bullet point #1 with a link at the top.
Lol thank you!

Please use the correct thread for this. It's in the post above.

As soon as your volunteer mods can get around to it. D
But seriously, it's likely Resolve or Hitfilm. :D
Post got deleted but still confused as to what I can post. I’m after some advice on how to crate an intro to my video using columns that slide in from right to left that play then stop once they’re slid into position (think similar to top gear intro) but not as nifty.
More than happy to have a god at doing this but need pointing in the right direction.
Your post was flagged as it was asking "What software to use?" Is this not the case? Do you already have a tool you're using?
[deleted]
Resolve. Hitfilm.
What's the best recording and editing free software? Free and without watermark
Recording what? The screen? OBS.
Editing? Resolve or Hitfilm, just like the post says.
Okay.. Very nice
that is the best rule that i never see it
I’m looking for some help for quite a specific look I want to achieve. I’ve been playing with iMovie, but no luck so far.
I want to create a video to show multiple photographs at the same time, some times as a diptych, sometimes quadtych against a white background.
Ideally I would like to be able to position the images anywhere within the frame and have one image remain in place whilst the others are replaced by a new image.
iMovie has a pretty good picture in picture feature but doesn’t allow for more than two layers at a time. Any advice?
Thank you!

Best free subtitling software?
Search the sub - there's tons of subtitle tools mentioned.
Does the Intel 12900k have Intel quicksync for editing on premiere pro?
Yes.
