Hey everyone... I could use some trained ears. I just finished a short, VFX-heavy kids’ piece with a big soundscape (SFX, music, dialogue, etc), and I’m pretty sure I pushed the mix hotter than I should’ve. Before I start batch-mixing future episodes, I’d love a gut check from the pros here. What I’m trying to nail down: - Go-to LUFS target for YouTube? (honestly, I don't even know what LUFS is ???) - How you keep dialogue crisp without flattening the fun stuff? - Any tweaks for content mostly watched on phones/tablets? - Tips for managing dynamic range when the visuals are composited and loud by design? Workflow angle (aka: where I’m leveling up): I still cut inside CapCut for speed, but will be pulling more work into DaVinci Resolve: mainly for their free transform/perspective tools, which are a game-changer for shadow generation and tighter VFX blends. If anyone mixes inside this hybrid setup, I’m all ears. If you’re willing to give a quick listen, here’s the short:👉 https://youtu.be/ETUQx7xeqGs Even a “drop it 2–3 dB” helps. No deep critiques, please... I'm a novice and it will probably go over my head 🙈 Thanks in advance — and happy to return the favor on color, compositing, or edit pacing if anyone wants another set of eyes.

I’ll be honest, I’ve been struggling to find my rhythm lately. I’ll have a good week on YouTube or here in the community, then life hits and my momentum slips. So this week, I’m keeping it simple: I’m focusing on one small win. For me, that’s posting a video by Friday, no overthinking, nothing fancy. What about you? What’s one small thing you want to actually finish this week? Drop it below, maybe we can keep each other accountable.

Alright everyone, it’s Friday. How’d the week go? Did you finish an edit you’re proud of, try something new in Resolve (or your editor), or just finally sit down and actually start a project you’ve been putting off? Drop it below, big or small, it counts. If you want a few eyes on something, post a short clip or screenshot and say what kind of feedback you’re after (color 🎨, pacing ⏱️, story flow, whatever). And take a sec to comment on someone else’s post too. Even a quick “that looks great” or a small tip helps keep the momentum going for everyone. So, what’s your win, lesson, or work-in-progress from this week?
