    • I find it really annoying when people use L cuts and J cuts incorrectly, during their own monologue to hide some, what would have usually been jump cuts to fix mistakes in delivery, but instead they do an L/J cut between two identically framed talking head videos (or even cropped in, doesn't matter), making the speech not in sync with what the lips are doing. Argh...

  • I'm at the beginning of my video editing journey. What I've learned so far is, basically, everything I've ever watched from the big screen, to television and music videos, "you guys" have put in an immense amount of time and dedication to your work (that you spent a great amount of time even learning how to do). My hats off to all those I've basically ignored, or never even realized existed. Now, everything I watch I pull apart in my head and look at what was accomplished and how. A good editor can make something lackluster shine like a diamond. A bad one can take a diamond and throw it in the mud. Cheers to you and those also on their journey.

  • To add to the J cut, you can use it in addition with music. So if you wanna transition from one scene to the next, you can use a song that has a build up before a drop, and put a hard cut transition right on the first kick or bass. You see it MANY times in films and I myself have used it. Very neat.

Most of the techniques covered here were familiar. But this 12 minute video just clarified so much for the way I absorb information. Thank you so very much!!!

  • Literally all the principles that you mentioned get used with my editing regularly. But whatever works must work to create flow. So that someone watching doesn't get distracted by the edit but stays with the story. Nice explanation. I recently used a close up camera shot with good movement that had gyro data attached and used that data to punc in on a different wider shot to make the fake camera movement feel natural. Worked great.

  • Great tips. A small mention tho: cutting to the beat does not also imply cutting at the same interval. This calls attention to itself and males the video look cartoonish, imo. When i use a song in the background, i almost always cut on the verse, since usually i match a scene to it, so it makes sense from a storytelling pov. But inside that verse i give myself liberty to adapt the shot length as i need, 2,3,4 beats.

  • This is huge! Thanks for the J cut and L cut tips. I knew about these before but the way I learned how to do them was to have the video and audio on separate tracks which made mixing the audio more complicated because now I’d have to process audio on multiple separate tracks using a bus or something. Seeing you do this so simply by dragging out the audio made my day. This makes it so much easier to make those kind of cuts. Some of the other tips were brand new to me also. Thanks a bunch ✌️

  • I knew about the J cut, but not the L cut. I was familiar with key framing, but still have so much to expand on in that area. I loved hearing and finally putting a name to all the techniques I have observed as a content consumer. It helped me understand things so much better on a content creator perspective or editor. Saying I’ve seen all of these techniques is one thing, understanding them in terms of applying is something totally different. Thank you for the insightful video, I can’t wait to practice these!!! ☺️💕

  • Absolutely great video. I knew most of these, but I gotta add, for people who edit things like games or shows. If there is an artificial cut on your footage (gameplay to cutscene, for example), make sure you either use one of the two scenes, or use both long enough so a cut on top won't be as distracting. Also, great to see someone else using Resolve!

  • I've just been doing editing as a side hobby for a few months, and these tips helped a lot. I generally stick to clips of streamers so a lot of these didn't apply, but the eye tracing tip will very much I think. I actually have been employing the bonus tip at the end a few times- I always felt sometimes the funniest thing you can do in a scene is simply time a cut, either by hard cutting or letting things awkwardly linger.

  • Once you talked through each type of edit, they all made sense in a very cognitive, logical sense - and once they were each explained, I "knew" all of them. However because I have only done extremely limited video work (shooting as well as editing) the ones I was less aware of - and haven't used - were the J and L cuts, as well as the bonus of "hold the cut". These are great things to remember while editing, but also great to keep ini mind while shooting the footage to begin with. Thanks!

    @AndrewPenner@AndrewPenner Жыл бұрын
  • I had already learnt all of these tips. However, I had forgotten about eye trace. Actually, come to think of it, I'd also forgotten about things like holding the shot and match cuts! Either way, you refreshed my knowledge a lot and taught me that it is important to know when to use cuts or not. I am still fairly new to editing, so often forget things as there is so much to learn! You definitely have a new subscriber! Now, time for me to start watching your back catalogue! Happy Sunday! 😁

  • Didn't think about the eye trace tip, thanks! I usually watch back my footage as I myself would enjoy a video. In gaming videos keeping it short and to the point is most of the time the way to go. My favorite part is when clips match the backtrack audio almost perfectly without planning it out before. Great video!

  • I knew all of these, not the terms you used, but overall, yes. The one thing I think is important to share is sometimes purposely editing movement clips where the subject is moving in the opposite direction, can add a sense of feeling lost, confusion, frustration, etc. If that is what you want to convey, then it is a good way to show that.

  • Great video as per usual Dunna! I actually did know all these and the "don't cut" tip is something I recently realized I need to follow more so nice to see that included here too. In a similar vein, I think a good tip (at least I've found it helpful for me) is not using every clip that you have. I was editing an engagement session I did in Banff and after the first edit I realized I was cutting far too often since I really wanted to use basically every pose/scene I shot 😅 Letting go of some of the shots definitely helped streamline the video so just thought I'd mention that in case it helps someone else too :) Anyway can't wait to see your future videos! It's great seeing a fellow Edmontonian thrive on KZhead 😀

Then also "create movement where there isn't", I learned elsewhere on YT recently, but also intuitively knew. But eye-trace and match-cut seemed new. I do know these from making artistic photos. But, I'm a budding (artistic) film maker and can't wait to try all of these techniques out (but maybe not all in the same film! 😉). I look forward to viewing more of your videos, this was certainly educational!

  • Good stuff here 👍 you can also multi purpose an action shot by doing a split zoom. This way you don't have to do two takes. Simply split the action and resize the second part of the clip to create a zoomed in effect. This works exceptionally nice with 4k footage.

  • Thank you Dun, I was aware of the Action and Beat cuts; I have used J and L cuts but I didn’t know that’s what they’re called. Holding on the edit I know of, to draw attention to importance. I learned: eye tracing, excellent point. And movement match, great ideas. I appreciate your content, thank you!

  • To be honest, I knew about 4 of these 8 tips, but after you explained each one of them I was able to relate it to a movie and it made perfect sense! The “match cut” using the audio of the sword and the sharpening of the knife reminded me of the introduction to the “Cidade de Deus” (City of God) movie, for example! Amazing video!

  • Good to recap the vocab. The last tip is the best. We cut so much more now we sometimes lose sight of the purpose of the cut. We add cuts to keep up with a pace we feel is essential.

  • Use all of them, from years of 16mm and old analog video days, but thanks for the key frames tip in the slow zoom in. Have only used them in audio, but will check them out for the video clip side too.🌹technology is wonderful, but not always easy for us who had to ,earn all those lead up moves from the analog world. Subscribed and look forward to learning your way. ⭐️🎥
