[@FrankGlencairn]

This is Brilliant! Pretty much sums everything up what I learned in 30 years editing in just one and a half hours. So worth watching.

[@nanikrishna3896]

Massive, huge respect for all the film editors around the world.

[@oregonxl]

This is really special! I hope this helps some of the young upcoming editors and directors get a grander picture of how a film really comes together.

[@roadrunna.]

This was awesome! Thank you and Thanks to Karen!

[@georgeandraos2509]

this is gold omg i feel like deep dormant parts of myself are being awakened because someone is putting words to them

[@redskirtmedia]

Masterclass here. Thank you!

[@pratulgaikwad9616]

great Video! A brilliant attempt to look at video editing in a scientific perspective. I must mention, this video is brilliantly edited.

[@scartinmorsese7723]

All in one place! Awesome!

[@10cadr]

Great content! I am a psychology student and don't even edit, but this content is really useful for a plenty of fields. Thanks for providing your great content.

[@kailashneupane5471]

I am watching the video and taking the notes. Thank you so much for such an invaluable information.

[@ExoEarth]

This is gold. Thanks!

[@brendan8160]

As a sound editor, I kept thinking about bad sound for the student film problems list. Maybe not in the top 5, but definitely in the top 10. It was everywhere from what I remember.

[@HatWearingDog]

Video/film professors love to talk about how “audiences won’t forgive bad audio” but simultaneously have no idea how to mix dialogue. Audio isn’t really covered as much as it could be in filmmaking and videography classes.

[@brendan8160]

@@HatWearingDog I agree. A lot of times it's not really the students fault. It can also be a hard thing to learn. A lot of the software and techniques and jargon has a steep learning curve.

[@Storyraymond]

This was amazing! ❤

[@TGAV8]

This is such a good video. Lots of lessons here.

[@dinhtuananhvnu]

Beautiful 🎉 thanks!

[@user-tu4ec8sm7l]

NICE WORK!!!

[@Laura-fl1rp]

I love this! I really do. Thank you for making this video!

[@ThisGuyEdits]

You're so welcome!

[@DineshBhadwal]

I think the Online Draft is a much better tool than a storyboard. Together with getting the real feel of movement with moving images (rather than stills as in a storyboard), the online draft is also an opportunity to quicky experiment with many different camera angles, shot types and movement inside and outside the frame.

[@israel9294]

What I’ve learned from editing is that in a sense it’s not so much up to the editor if not what the scene itself what it’s asking for. In other word you need to find the links that connect them in there own accord.as it’s begging for. Same for camera angles & movements.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

It was hard not to watch, but I was able to just listen to the whole thing the first time. Now I can play it again and both listen and watch. tHanks for the video.

[@sanadakhumanthem3557]

Damn this is gem

[@chertang6001]

I want to say this video itself showcases what good editing is. So nutritive. Much appreciate it.

[@ems0up]

thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@Waiting_For_The_Sun]

The main thing you need for professional editing is a steel ass and crystal eyes!

[@XaniaProjects]

Wait, reupload? Edit: Ohhh... 1 hour compilation, nice.

[@israel9294]

Almost everything was planned be the director & the camera man every shot & angle & movement. The editor can only work with what they have. So they only have control to a certain extent. The magic of a movie is what is the whole movie about. That’s what pushes everything forward

[@johnacosta8835]

Thanks!

[@johnacosta8835]

Amazing, thank you!

[@ThisGuyEdits]

Oh wow. Thank you!!! I’ve never gotten a Super thanks before. I appreciate it !!

[@warcroftgaming]

I create audio drama productions. I turn a books into full audio productions. Narration, characters, effects, music... the works. They're like watching a movie with your eyes closed. I do everything your video details, but with no visuals to guide me. I don't know if that makes it harder or easier. But I do know I have to add more to the audio experience to make up for the lack of visuals. More subtleties in the effects and ambience. Hit more rhythmic beats. I love it! I have already watched your videos twice in the past. I'm on my third watch now.

[@lentsi6595]

Hi, what's your favourite best editing for 2023 movie?

[@aryankohli1968]

❤️

[@bucknasty176]

Actions speak louder than words

[@CABRALCREATES]

I thought I watched this video already? Am I crazy???

[@smuuchhi8673]

Is this reuploaded ? It feels like I have seen it before

[@homeproduction2893]

That was amazing.Great Content.I am a Film editor from Nepal.I was editing a scene where i cried while editing.Something stuck in mind that i want to see whether the audience will cry or not relating to the scene i had with the cuts and the composition .I sat with the audience when that scene came into the screen i watched the audience they were crying.it went three shows house full.Again with the same director i edited another movie i was a editor as well as background music scorer.there was scene where boy and girl has been departed bcos of girls family.She was taken by her family forcefully.but in later there was a scene where boy and girl were sure to meet together.when that scene came.i score the music differently instead of using the sad music i used happy music bcos the meeting of both was sure to happen though the boy and the girl were little sad.it was a long shot.you can see a little bit sad in their face was a profile shot. audience gave a big run of applause though the girl and boy has not been met.director was smiling.I felt like the editor is the greatest audience.if it had been close up shot there would have been great mismatch between the shots and the music.It works im music also.thanks guys

[@patrickcasella]

can't believe this is free

[@sethflix]

My life actually has been extremely dramatic and cinematic. So, your premise doesn't hold any water with me personally. For future reference 1:04:20

[@visualstoryteller6158]

On science of editing.. can you also include the type . in terms of human adaptation and their time period. I recently tried to watch an old film n i as an editor felt a bit lag, but then madmax rate of change is extremely fast n so is now social media more faster than mad Max now. Whats happens when people are so adopted to watching 90% of watching phone n reels shorts that now watching a ok mid 2000s feel slow. Can we reset it this effect? By own or by giving audience a set rythm n making it feel fast.? Coz i dont want every movie to run at 2x coming ahead as empathy need time.

[@starlingwatch3921]

Wonderful video, videos actually, I love them. About Tim J Smith's experiment... I test the marketing, Web pages, and movies I make using a technique originally from Seth Godin, it's called the $50 usability lab. For example, to test a new Web page I invite 2-3 friends to view a Web page with me looking over their shoulder. "Where is your eye going to first?" I ask. Then I ask "Where is your eye going to next?" Often they ask me what I want them to do on the page. I keep asking them "Where is your eye going to next?" It often surprises me how the thing i worked so hard to realize on the page is completely invisible. I apply the same technique when I am editing movies. -Frank

[@homeproduction2893]

hey guys there must be someone to command the AI.

[@cineguz]

It all starts with the Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein.

[@mustafakamal8608]

Welp, I'm early

Pro tip: Hold left on the screen to play 2x (likely adapted from TikTok).

all brilliant and masterful, except your repeated fake drinking at the end
