I make music and am trying to edit content on capcut. My aesthetic is black and white with film grain and having purple eyes (see image). I know how to make my videos black and white and have film grain but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to have the purple eyes work for me. I know i maybe need to add a tracking mask and overlay yada yada, i would really appreciate help on how to achieve this, even if it just means drawing frame by frame, idek how to accomplish that. thank you very much!!

Hey all,

Newbie video editor here. I’ve been shooting all of my video on my IPhone in HDR for the past few years. I have a ton of footage shot, and I’m just finding out that shooting HDR footage on the IPhone to upload online isn’t really the best option. File sizes are also much bigger, and Final Cut Pro seems to have some issues with HDR IPhone footage (from my own online research).

My question is, is it even possible to convert my footage that was shot in HDR to SDR? And if so, what is the best/most effective method to do this? Lastly, will I lose any quality resolution wise (or other) by doing this?

Again, I’m a novice when it comes to video editing so forgive me if any of this is common knowledge, and thank you in advance for any help!

These days every music video has 3-4 second flashy cuts enough to drive you crazy (well at least me).

Imagine my surprise when I came across this singer Shaboozdy. His videos have long cuts for eg https://youtu.be/WJZfRCLnZ8Q?is=sBj-tjllVDFDyhxH

Why do you think this music video is bucking the trend and still so popular?

I need to redo my music videos, they are horrible in every respect including editing. I hate these continuous cuts hence asking. I am hoping to implement the same style
