Each subreddit has its own culture around self-promotion. Knowing the tolerance level before posting helps you avoid bans and build genuine credibility.
These communities welcome product mentions and project sharing as long as you follow subreddit rules. You can include links to your product in posts and comments, but genuine value should still come first.
Self-promotion is allowed in specific threads or under certain conditions (like designated weekly threads). Read the sidebar rules carefully. Build some post history before sharing your own products or content.
These subreddits strictly prohibit self-promotion. Focus on providing value through comments and educational posts. Build karma and credibility first. Mention your product only when directly asked for recommendations.
This list covers the top communities, but there are hundreds more niche subreddits where your target audience hangs out. MediaFast's subreddit finder analyzes your product and matches you with the most relevant communities, including hidden gems most marketers miss.
Common questions about finding and using the best video editing communities on Reddit.
r/VideoEditing is the most beginner-friendly general community. For software-specific help, r/davinciresolve is great since DaVinci Resolve has a powerful free version. r/NewTubers is also helpful if you are learning to edit specifically for YouTube content.
r/colorgrading is dedicated entirely to the topic and features before and after comparisons. r/davinciresolve is also excellent since Resolve is known for its industry-leading color tools. Both communities regularly share node trees, LUTs, and grading workflows.
r/VideoEditing and r/Filmmakers both accept work-in-progress posts when you ask for specific feedback. r/editors is better for professional-level critiques. Frame your posts as learning opportunities and specify exactly what aspects you want feedback on.
r/AfterEffects and r/MotionDesign are the main communities for motion graphics. r/vfx covers visual effects for film and TV. r/blender is also valuable since Blender handles 3D motion graphics, compositing, and video editing in one free package.
