The Editing Community is TOXIC.

The editing community is a place filled with toxicity, and there's no escaping it. In this video I talk about what problems the editing community can face and how to solve them.
This was insane.

[@kettlexccp]

As an editor who’s been editing since CapCut popular in 2020, I agree with all of this. An editing app does not define the editor themself in any way. I recently moved over to CapCut Pro and I saw less hate comments. Sure, I removed all of them but there was a good amount of criticism. And not the good kind. I would love to see this in a longer longer video. You’re kinda giving the “Visual Venture” type vibe if you know who he is. I love this video and I think every editor (no matter the App) should be aware of this.

When I first started editing I felt this way, it was hard and seeing how small channels got treated or how they got ignored while the bigger channels were idolized. This is wrong, everyone deserves respect, whether they have 20 subs, 2,000 subs, or 200,000. Everyone starts somewhere and the fact that people are toxic in the editing community when it’s supposed to be fun just sucks. Editors should feel safe and support each other while making and posting stuff they enjoy, yes, the publicity is nice but seeing that people enjoy what you make, the editor enjoying making edits of their favorite fandoms and celebrities is what it should be about, not subs and likes. Thank you for this video it’s amazing

the last phrase you said "treat people, how you want to be treated" is SO real. if you want people to comment on your edits then you gotta comment on people's edits first so they comment back on yours. by treating people the same way you want to be treated you'll get the treatment you want. i realized this when i started commenting wayyy more on people's edits. such a good video

[@urgh.chegukie]

thank you so much for speaking up about this 🙏 i've noticed this too much that people who edit on after effects are instantly seen as "superior" and there is no room left for the beginners to emerge as the "talented ones" among the community. Plus the way you talked about constructive criticism , i totally agree with that. Nowadays constructive criticism is nothing but just straight up hate which can make the other person who's receiving it hate himself/herself's edits which is totally wrong and shouldn't be done. I appreciate you so much for making this eye-opening video🙏

[@thorified1234]

I didn’t use ae or am until I managed to upgrade my skills. Started as a capcut editor, now I’m a am editor but soon going to shift to ae. Through this journey, the thing I got is uplifting my skills. That’s what this whole editing community should be about. Of course using ae or am wouldn’t make a you a legendary editor but it does have better options. Which however would be obviously based on your capability of editing and learning new things.

[@thebtchersdaughter]

using your platform and skills to create awareness within a community where the superficial or trendy is valued more than authenticity or passion is SUCH a superior move, because people use that metric to give """justified hate""" to others who are just... doing what they love or trying to improve. this was needed !!

[@luvly_dawn]

[@gem_vvcut]

At this point I must say that as an editor I'm really very lucky. When I started editing I didn't had editor friends on youtube, I don't even knew we can make friends here. Gradually I focused on a single fandom which was Miraculous. By making edits of this fandom I gained so many editor friends who are very very supportive. As a person I'm also very supportive and friendly. That's why I got so many friends here. I don't even get to use any of the mentioned apps, I use Vivacut. [we need to purchase ae, am is hard to me, vediostar, capcut, is not available in my country] Anyways the last line is so true 'Treat others, how you want to be treated' I can say this from my experience

Most reason most CapCut editors are hated is because they put zero effort and just go straight to templates. They wonder why they fall off when they get exposed.

[@0riettO_o]

this video showed a lot of controversial and hidden things within the editing community you don't see at first glance. this almost felt like a documentary and you depicted it very well.

[@haninalightpresets]

I've been editng for almost 7 years and seeing the editing community getting toxic year by year is so saddening. I 100% agree with everything you've said! No one has the right to ever hate on any editor for the app or program they use because not everyone can afford a laptop? or even the app/ program itself ( even if cracked versions exist not everyone knows how it works) also it depends on the persons ability to use the app itself and getting creative at using it. But Ima be honest here there are many undderated editors out there that no one appreciates their work which is so unfair tbh it's like everyone is really not giving a chance for beginner/ small editors to grow and get recognized more... giving all the hype to "big editors" when literally 50% of them are seriously so toxic and fake. Also let's just not talk about how templates literally are taking over real edits.. I miss how supportive and fair the editing community used to be in 2019-2022 everyone was so lovely and genuinely enjoyed editing, making friends, help eachother in editing and even help eachother grow, when now all they do is keep on stealing/ leaking people's editing resources and create drama and be rude for no reason.

I was once a person who use to judge people's edits and i deeply regret that. I respect everyone's edits that put efforts in it. It's a shame we live in a society that mostly cares for themselves and do not think for others. I started editing like 8 months ago as i started on capcut then slowly shifted to alight. This video is the best documentary of editors, about most of this video is very relatable with the flops , the toxicity and others. As a small editor i was looked down upon and i am still am do this day , i chose to ignore it to be honest. The negativity can really change people a lot. I believe the overall message is people who put a lot of effort into their edits no matter the outcome should be respected for their efforts that allows editors to keep on pushing and improving. This is just an opinion thank you for this video.

FINALLY. I keep seeing begginer edits that don’t get support they deserve. And unpopular channels which have such good videos? Flop. Flop. Flop. T^T

[@greeen.v2]

#1 I LOVE the editing on this video 😍 #2 This is so true, Why do some editors think they are famous and start blocking everyone once they get a paid editing app #3 I personally believe that all editors can acheive their greatest edit, its just that some apps make it easier than others (eg. After effects vs Capcut, or video star vs Alight Motion) NOW BEFORE YOU ATTACK ME IN THE REPLIES I say that it is harder to make an edit on capcut because there are limitations with the app (no 3d, no nulls etc.) That doesnt mean you cant do those things! I've seen countless editors such as my favorite @qolexe make the best edits youll ever seen. He gets creative by sometimes exporting the video multiple times to make the transitions he wants. However, if i wanted to make the same edit as him, I already have nulls to use, and it is as simple as clicking and dragging a little swirly line. Some apps even have nulls, like Alight motion; they can do the exact same thing as i can, but they dont have access to mattes, and 3d camera transforms. Video star has acess to these things.... See where im going? On my phone i have 1000 editing apps, and its confusing to use them once you start editing. Sometimes messing up a transition earlier down the line cant be fixable. Overall, I think that is easier to make edits on apps like After Effects, but that doesnt mean the edits on free editing apps can be bad. They can be sometimes even better. If you use multiple apps you could create an edit that is outstanding.

[@ericasinclair3998]

I see where you are going. Mobile editing apps have certain limitations and ae has a wider variety of effects. Making it easier to edit on there instead of switching between apps.

Thanks for making a video about it. one detail I wanted to add is that many editors started editing with Capcut, and that when they started to hesitate with A and they start to make fun of the edit.g program they started with, it doesn't make sense. it's really repetitive and annoying to put "omg Capcut" there once, twice, but after a lot of videos it's really annoying. I really hope that people understand that they need to stop being toxic

[@SINIXT3R]

That's totally true, I'm the wis (who's the strongest) editor, i basically compare characters. When i was below 2K people always criticize me and my takes on characters even if those takes were correct but now that i got some subs and make few views people praise me on even my bad edits and dumb takes, so my point is not even editors but viewers judge people by subs too. Tbh wis editing community is damn good even 100k sub editors interact with fans and even show support for new editors by doing collabs with them.

[@Solotheking]

As a beginner editor myself, It’s a shame skilled editors like being mean to beginners,now ofc i haven’t dealt with this in my comments or channel yet but i feel bad for beginners trying to be good and make great videos but the skilled ones always bring them down, for me all the skilled editors I’ve talked to have been really nice to me when asking them for advice, but I guess every community has a toxic side but to all beginners ignore the hate from skilled editors and keep going then once you’re better than them rub it in their faces

[@shaun_vfx]

this is so true bruh i have used every editing app mentioned or seen in this edit. I started editing in 2019 on Video Star in search to look for an app to make an intro for one of my olddd yt accounts but then i started TikTok in 2020 and started to edit using templates on this app called VivaCut. To be honest i just spammed a bunch of effects until i learned about goalsounds with his creative 3d style. I eventually moved onto Video Star full time in 2021 to 2022 where I learned how to use all these other editing softwares but After Effects really catapulted my KZbin channel where i supposedly remade Lauren's Her or the Sun edit but I can not lie, I had just ended up using her project file because i didn't have the time to learn AE at this point. That ended up blowing up and I had actually taken effort to learn AE aswell as Alight Motion and all these various editing apps like Blurrr, Funimate due to my limitation of devices available to reach my full potential and as you said in your video, it isnt the program, its how you use it but apps like capcut have slowly gone downhill as most of the effects that used to be free are now pro and the software itself looks like a whole social media platform and messy in general focused on easy edits which degrades the actual use of it being an editing app but thats just my opinion no one will probably read this but i just wanted to say my opinion on this issue from someone that has used basically every editing app and program widely available. - shaun_vfx on youtube/seeshaun on tiktok :(

I've been doing video editing for 6 years, but it doesn't take someone of that credential to tell you that calling someone a bad editor isn't how you improve someone's skill. I have had followers who do want to get to my capability, so you what I do? I give them the help and information they need to get there, something anyone in any field should be doing. Labeling isn't the answer, it's giving a help hand.

[@fizzledits2433]

8:31 editors want the attention they think they deserve. If a beginner editor thinks they’re bad, they’ll be happy and grateful for their first comments supporting them. If an advanced transition editor spent weeks on an edit, which they thought turned out great, and they get the same number of comments as that beginner editor, regardless of if they’re positive comments or not, they’ll feel bad because its basically same ‘reward’ for very different amount of work. I believe thats what causes toxicity

I was always upset when an edit I worked on flopped even tho I put so much work into it and even tho that pushed me to improve it was tiring till I relished two VERY IMPORTANT THINGS : 1) Editing is like art : ITS NOT THE TOOLS THAT MAKE YOUR ART STAND OUT ITS YOUR SKILL IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT APP OR PROGRAM U USE IF UR EDITING IN PHONE OR LAPTOP ITS UR SKILL THAT NEEDS IMPROVMENT 2) DO NOT GIVE UP IF U FLOP AND STOP CARRING IF U FLOP OR NOT ! THE ALGORITHM IS STRANGE U WILL GET ATTENTION OR BE SHOOVED UNDER RUGS ! If you actually enjoy editing look beyond massive attention bc you might surprise yourself by being happy when ur mutuals plus few people liked ur edit instead of waiting for ur edit to reach the massive audience u wanted to. Who cares if u flop ? Jump back in and create , watch tutorials ,save presets or QR codes , make ur own shakes and you will improve without noticing . I learned all of this the hard way , let editing be enjoyable for you DO NOT TREAT IT LIKE AN OBLIGATION OR A JOB !!!

i’ve been using capcut lately and it’s not as basic as it used to be tbh. u can make rlly good shake and velocity edits. i’ve used funimate for like 2 yrs and i rlly love the 3d transition edits u can make w it, but tbh i like both the same

your words are amazing, simple but nicely put. you just gained a subscriber btw

The skilled editors being put on a pedestal is really true, as a ninjago WIS editor, it really didn't matter if you're nice, which lead to hate to this person who was less in skill compared to another editor, there was a discord server which is basically the center of Ninjago WIS, the skilled editors just basically bully irrelevant people and people will meat ride them.

As a person who's a capcut editor in training,I have been made fun of cuz of the way I edit but atleast I'm trying,it's true there are alot of toxic editors out there-

[@JerremyChann]

My first editing app was Filmora and now i use Capcut.. i did try to learn After Effects, but then I don't know what I'm gonna do with it.. I'm so lost not knowing where to start

[@Starcloud152]

People have come to stereotype these types of things and a lot of it is because they think the software quality is good that means the editor is good but most of it comes down to how you use the software, I use capcut but I'm transitioning to after effects for the more effects part but ppl said my edits looked like ae before and that just proves that it's how you use what you have and not about what the app itself is.

[@mm2viv]

for real plus the editing community is unfair I edit pixels and I swear some people actually get mad at me for no reason and editing does not mean just editing people it means editing all sorts of things and this video is 100% true

[@str4wbewii]

omg! i feel this as a capcut editor, people need to STOP being so toxic

[@MistyChan.]

We are all editors! We should all help each other and give positive comments to help one another! Not being each other down! We might not all edit as well as advanced editors but we all work hard to do the same thing. Edit! So why talk bad about each other when we can help bring each other up?😭

[@kourycc]

as an editor ive been ignored by so many big editors. when i see other big editors commenting on theirs they reply/heart their comment. its genuinely so sad to see ppl hate on ppls edits too cuz theres no point in hate on edits.

[@LuFuu_]

This is so real! I've been thinking that the editing community can be really toxic for so long, specially when i began editing. Of corse there are also many really nice people in the community, but as a beginner your edits will absolutely get hated.

[@chandrakantmahato]

im a velocity editor i edit on after effects, as a beginner editor my self people around me make fun of my work i but don't listen to them, you can be egoistic in a good way to becoming the best will always motivate you, what i can say as a beginner editor myself learn more stuff and make edits because you love to edit not because you want to compete to others

[@imavi.]

Editing apps are just a tool(like you said), you can make a 10/10 edit on a mobile editing app, all you need is the idea and the skill to use the software's features(basically just being creative) . Capcut is a good beginner friendly app, but yes, after effects is obv way better than mobile editing apps(no brainer), but you NEED to have the creativity to make them. I absolutely HATE the template "editors" who use templates, it defeats the whole idea of editing, there's no creativity in it, its soul-less. Some of the points you said are exactly what i say. Great video 💯

[@fizzledits2433]

7:40 it does, I’ve been guilty of calling someone ‘Lauren’ (one time turned out to be her undercover account) but nah stopped now its a bit icky imo, cause Lauren is one editor, there are so many good editors on her level that aren’t her

[@MistyChan.]

As a capcut and alight motion editor I strongly believe that cap cut has a lot of potential! I can do really decent edits on it and its simple to understand! While am might have more effects than cap cut that doesn't diminish the fact that cap cut can be such a good app to have for easy quick editing or even for long and hard edits! I strongly believe that of you know how to use it you can do just as well as a advanced align motion editor it just might be harder to do so😅

[@knxamve]

Great Video! I'm from another part of the editing community and I do agree the community is hella toxic. That being said the toxicity is what made a lot of the editors better, like the person in the video I used to get pissed when people called my videos stiff but once I started listening(it took a few months ngl). I started improving like crazy and started becoming a better editor but also the better I got the longer the videos took and the more unmotivated I felt making them, once I posted them they performed worse than my simpler edits. Talking to a lot of my friends about the main reason most editors quit and half the reason the community is as toxic as it is. The other half is from editing groups and editing units trying to have better members making them more and more selective, resulting in harder feedback. Personally, I'm fine with it because it helps me improve but it does hurt my ego. Oh also one more thing I've seen mobile editors do wayyy better than ae editors. Some of these editors quit like 2 years ago and are still better than me while as other editors on cap cut, Node Video, and alight are getting so good you can't tell they are mobile editors. The views do come mostly from super simple edits with some coming ultra complex ones, with that you'll get hate from better editors but then again at that point, you're probably editing for the algorithm. Anyway, I'm done yapping I just wrote this for the new editors so they kinda get how everything works and dont get demotivated.

capcut is easy to use but there are so little effects with so little customization, and most effects cost money now, ive been using capcut for like a year but only for things shorts because there is absolutely no customization and the only upside is that it requires no effort and just more knowledge.

[@user-unavailable]

a massive problem is that moving and changing length of clips on the timeline is annoying
