Rule summary
- Content Guidelines: Please see our full Rules Wiki found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fanedits/wiki/rules
Works well
- A text post walking through how you structured a re-cut, with no link to the edit itself
- A review of a fanedit you watched, written as honest critique rather than an ad
- A question about workflow, like how other editors handle scene transitions or audio mixing
- A breakdown of an editing technique you used, explained in enough detail that others can learn from it
- Helpful answers in threads where editors discuss their process, with your tool never mentioned unless someone asks
Avoid
- Posting a link to your fanedit, which the community description explicitly rules out
- Treating the subreddit as a distribution channel for your videos instead of a place to talk about the craft
- Skipping the full rules wiki and assuming the sidebar tells you everything
- Dropping a link with no context, which is the exact behavior this community is set up to block
- Assuming your edit or your tool is the exception to the no links rule
What r/fanedits Is For
This is the meeting place for people who make and love fanedits, which are re-cuts of films and shows made by fans. The description says fans, editors, and communities from all corners of the fanediting world gather here, whether their home base is MRdB, IFDB, Reddit, or somewhere else. People come to rave about favorite re-cuts, show off their editing skills, and write spicy reviews. There is one big catch stated right in the description, you must not post links to fanedits.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The subreddit displays one rule, called “Content Guidelines”, and it points to a full rules wiki on Reddit. The policy brief does not spell out every detail of that wiki, so the honest advice is to read it before you post anything. Two things are clear from the evidence. First, links to fanedits are banned, and the community description says this right up front. Second, the moderators state plainly that they remove posts which violate the content guidelines. There is no published stance on promotion or AI content in the evidence, so do not assume either is fine, check the wiki.
What To Post
Talk about the craft, not the files. A good post here is text that shares something useful about fanediting, like how you approached a re-cut, what you learned about pacing or color, or an honest review of an edit you watched, without linking to the edit itself. If you built a tool or a service for editors, you can join conversations about workflow and problems, and answer questions when people ask, but keep any links out of your posts. Read the full rules wiki first, because the displayed rules defer to it, and the wiki may have more detail on what counts as promotion.
What To Avoid
The clearest way to get removed is to post a link to a fanedit, since that is banned in both the description and the policy brief. The second way is to ignore the content guidelines, because the moderators say they remove posts that violate them. Since the full rules live in the wiki and not in the displayed rules, posting without reading that wiki is itself a risk. If your plan involves dropping a link to your edit or your tool, that plan does not work in this community.

Common questions about r/fanedits
Can I post a link to my fanedit?
No. The community description tells members not to post links to fanedits, so a link to your edit is the one thing you should not do here.
How do I share my work without breaking the rules?
Read the full rules wiki first, then talk about your work in words only, with no links, and stay open to questions and feedback.
Is self promotion allowed?
The displayed rules only point to the full rules wiki, so the wiki is the only reliable source for what counts as promotion.
Can I talk about my editing process?
Yes. The description invites members to show off their editing chops and review re-cuts, so a text post about your process fits the room.
Where do I find the complete rules?
The survival tips say to read the full rules wiki before you post, so start there.
