Encourage members to reply in the comments with their guesses, and be sure to reveal the correct answer after some time to keep the momentum going. Rotate through different types of guessing games to keep things fresh and fun.
These Guessing Game templates work on any platform. For forums, use text or add image attachments. On social media, pair with short clips or screenshots. In chat apps, keep prompts concise and encourage quick replies. Always follow platform rules on media types and tagging.
You can post short video clips or screenshots and ask members to guess which editing technique was used, such as jump cut, match cut, J-cut, or L-cut. Provide context or a brief backstory and encourage participants to explain their reasoning. This approach stimulates discussion among experienced editors and allows for knowledge sharing about advanced techniques.
Share before-and-after frames or a short color-graded video sequence and prompt members to guess if a LUT or manual color correction was applied. You can further boost engagement by asking them to identify the specific color grading tools (like Lumetri or DaVinci Resolve nodes) used or to suggest what changes were made. Follow up with a detailed breakdown to make the post educational.
Post a series of video frames or samples with varying levels of compression or encoded with different codecs (e.g., H.264 vs. ProRes) and ask members to guess which codec was used or to spot compression artifacts. This not only tests their technical eye but also sparks conversation on best practices for exporting and delivering video content.
Share an audio clip, still frames, or a brief written description of a famous edit or montage (such as the ‘Odessa Steps’ from Battleship Potemkin or the shower scene from Psycho) and ask members to guess the film and discuss the editing choices. This format encourages both film history discussion and analysis of editing styles, making it highly relevant for video editing enthusiasts.
Post screenshots of different timeline layouts or project bin organizations in popular NLEs (like Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or Resolve) and invite members to guess the editor’s workflow style or identify potential efficiency issues. You can then prompt discussion on best practices and personal workflow tips, helping members learn from real-world scenarios.
Share short video or audio clips and ask members to guess whether elements like dialogue are original or ADR, or if specific sound effects were created with foley. This not only sharpens their critical listening skills but also encourages members to discuss audio post-production techniques and tools common in professional video editing.
