We've all seen them before. A lot of us might even be guilty of these cringy editing habits.
In case you need a reminder or you're new to editing and want to learn what NOT to do in your videos, I took some time to make the cringiest video I could to show you exactly what to avoid.

I love how you not only made fun of a lot of these outdated cringey practices (some of these brought back memories of Windows Movie Maker and VHS era productions) but also demonstrated practical solutions and gave a clear practical example of how it looks so much better when done right. All the editing out of fluff is so important in today's short-attention-span media-saturated world of Reels and Tik Toks.

[@sergentboucherie]

You guys forgot to use Comic Sans

[@CaseyFaris]

Blast.... Shoulda

[@WhySoLoud]

there's always One

[@GodofToast]

That would make it unrealistic in the sheer cringe

[@Ayelet.M]

@@GodofToastA cringe atomic bomb 🎉

[@ruudbremer]

dang i laughed so hard....this is gold we should make this a series. Where we are sending in "best" videos and casey is judging.... hahahahha

[@PhillipRPeck]

I love everything about the how to make chocolate milk at home intro, even the lack of capitalization. Please do more of this everybody

[@Imagoofygoober42]

This and your recent 'Motion Graphics Design Crash Course' videos are great. So used to people showing the "correct" way to do things but what is correct often gets lost when we don't even know what we are supposed to be correcting. Failure makes a great teacher. This was very funny, unique, and I learned a lot. I came back to leave this comment just now although I watched it when it first came out because the way this was presented burned into my brain and I find myself randomly thinking about this video, haha. Thanks Casey

[@CaseyFaris]

That's awesome! Thanks!!!

[@ChrisWestin]

Re the jump cut w/crossfade - I used to do that because I had seen a tutorial that suggested it as a way to cover up the edit. Then I saw another tutorial that suggested instead to zoom in or out for emphasis or just to maintain visual interest, so I tried that, and it definitely looks better.

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

I will try that zoom trick instead of my normal fades, see how that works for tutorials 🤔

[@Ditispeter]

What about the smooth cut in Resolve? That one is made for covering up jump cuts.

[@ChrisWestin]

@@Ditispeter Yeah, that's how I did it - and it is cheesier looking than jumping to a slight zoom or some other more noticeable shift. Those help maintain visual interest more, compared to an unchanging talking head.

[@ibrahimayad6732]

Sir. this is one of the best Resolve tutorials. please make more of this. this live editing sessions is unique. that is what Daria and Chris from Blackmagic do. and with your sense of humor, it is more palatable than Blackmagic's.

[@markinman3119]

I loved this video, Casey! Very entertaining, you taught me stuff AND you made me feel better about my beginner editing. I'd love to see more like these.

[@JasonYadlovski]

This was great, laughed a ton! Nice work Casey!

[@ThailandDirect]

Thank you, Casey from Thailand. You have helped me so much in creating my youtube content. I still struggle with Fusion but you have helped me so much! 🙏

[@dlaw3987]

This was great! I like how you start with 1/8 of a gallon and then show a close-up of a full gallon and then go back to 1/8 gallon. Keep up the great videos.

[@potatofoxy]

your tutorials about davinci resolve help me so much, I just started learning it like a few days ago

[@MrGrant7000]

Great Video!

[@pdadrums7452]

This is golden!!!! Love it, giving key editing points while having a laugh at the same time. Fabulous! 😂👏👏

[@CallMeMrjoe]

Hahahaha just awesome!!! I think that was once if the most informative videos I've ever seen on video editing. Love seeing you working. Shows what a professional you are and how far I have to go! Bravo and thank you!

[@CaseyFaris]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@grahame8032]

Great video with lots of really useful tips.

[@PRO_CUTS_OFFICIAL]

Hey Casey I wonder if u can take this series to a next level like we send you our edits for clients (not reels or anime edits) and u can point out mistakes in it. btw keep up the good work

[@GreenGreeny]

As soon as i saw this , i thought the same thing, i want to take the footage and edit it to pieces, make something so un-interesting into something captivating, funny and entertaining

[@KeepingUpWithTheNati]

Nicely done ✔️

[@andersonsgarage2334]

Casey please make more like this. Funny and helpful. Thank you for all the important videos.

[@stivosaurus]

*That* is why I normally watch KZbin videos at 4x speed. One thing Cringey Casey did right was not having music playing while giving instructions. It's not a *bleep*ing documentary where you need to create drama. Just tell me what to do! (yeah, it's a pet peeve) As always, the great thing about this video is we get to see the thought process. It's not about where you click, but why.

[@LgosseuxDbois-TheWoodpecker]

You really made me laugh here. 12 years ago I started my KZbin channel mostly for that reason people were editing and filming their woodworking videos just like you described, and guess what; 12 years later I also see this kind of editing... I used to be a news editor for 32 years before I retired, I trained several dozens of people to edit news item which is WAY different that a KZbin video, I don't have to tell you that. But you remembered me of one young guy I trained, he was fresh from school so he thought he knew everything and and didn't need to learn anything from an old fart. So I told him to make a 30 seconds BG clip of how awesome the new roller-coaster ride was at the local amusement park here in Montreal. As expected he nailed it. Then I said to him that his assignment was to show that the new roller-coaster is the worst ride ever, but with the same picture from the cassette, yes it was a while ago, he was unable... This was to show that you can edit anything to make it feel any way you wish. I really enjoyed your video, I'm new to Resolve but as you might expect not to editing in several différent NLE

[@graham-kirby]

Just brilliant. At first I thought can I really watch this all the way through without screening, then found it strangely engrossing. The master stroke was to actually produce something passable from that pile of cringe, for that I am truly in awe of your skills.

[@CaseyFaris]

Thanks! It literally comes down to one rule: Cut out everything but the essentials.

[@Pouya-us1hw]

As always, great explanations🔥

[@waedi73]

outstanding show !

[@ClaytonsWoodArt]

Loved this !

[@bashbromayhem]

I'm putting music video breaks in all my future videos. It really adds to the flow of the video!

[@suvigyatiwari3000]

Genuine good advice, love the content as always!

[@SteaminPile]

Oh my!! I've seen SOOOO many of these!!!

[@gmlongo1]

This was one of the most entertaining videos I've seen a long time! The random smiles cracked me up.

[@youtubenube]

iv just started learning editing and came across your video and i think I'm guilty of one of those not going to lie, great video. Thanks for tips.

[@Thebarebones_]

Great Video Casey

[@Thebarebones_]

I Enjoyed That !

[@ChopperCindy]

That was brilliant! Having all the editing tools at your disposal doesn’t mean you have to use them all. I hope your point about turning your phone horizontally sinks in before advertisers use up the spare two thirds of the screen for their benefit. I heard tv manufacturers are thinking of making tv’s in portrait mode 😂

[@constructionomnipotence49t83]

How brutal ..thank you

[@ATRestoration]

The loud music with voiceover is most commonly used mistake right now. Those flying texts are pretty rare.

[@janusdk]

❤ Love it! Will try the milk thing at home, but my spoon is different.

[@CaseyFaris]

Yeah a lot of people get confused about the spoons. Truth is you can use any spoon. I like the Kohler GT2000 myself.

[@janusdk]

​@@CaseyFarisSorry. I'm from Denmark, and that model is not available here. I get your "gear dosen't matter" and its nice of you, but I want to keep it pro. Maybe I can license your concept and create an European version? I already did a prune puree tutorial.

[@CallMeMrjoe]

​@@CaseyFaris Do you have an Amazon link for that? I too would like to keep it professional.

[@phiveone]

Thanks Casey, now I have to redo everything.

[@madeofstone7619]

Bravo! I have been a subscriber to your channel for a long time, I learned a lot from you, thank you. But this is the first time I'm leaving a comment. You should make videos like this more often, very entertaining. You can even roast videos of those who want it. I recognized myself at the beginning of using Davinci.))) Thank you

[@mrpaulsadams]

This was a hilarious way to teach. great work.

[@LaimonasRimkus]

This is fun video, i like it :)

[@ScenicLegends]

This is so funny! 😂 I’ve been there too!

[@KZ-yu4jz]

Great video. Love the 3D flying font. Yup used that for at least one or two videos. So excited to see it in DR14 :) I am started to think I should bring it back....

[@cousinit2392]

And the academy award goes to ......loved it CF

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Haha! That was actually pretty funny, well done mate!

[@rakeshmalik5385]

This is your funniest video yet! But still educational 🤣

[@anthonybrett]

This was hilarious! Thankyou Casey for the laugh.

[@aqueminteressarpossa3445]

Perfect when played at 2x

[@KarelZweefvlieger]

lol and learning 🙂 To be honest I learned the hard way, first video's were bad..... Hope to bettere nowdays, thanks to all the tutorials really helped.

[@AkinAkin]

Hi Casey, will you consider making videos on how to edit like Magnates media. Would really love to learn how to make 3d parrallax compositions. Also, i know that its possible to use davinci resolve as a substitute for photoshop, but... it would be beyond awesome of you considered these

[@ACOnetwork]

Good stuff and funny 🤣😂

[@heidilorenz3517]

🤣😂 I am a cringy beginner (hopefully not this cringy) and I loved this. I posted my first three videos last week. Clearly they are far from perfect but I just had to get going!!! This cracked me up...thanks, glad I've found you Casey!!! Learn & grow!!! 😉🙃

[@ToriksLV]

This is hillarious.

[@cinema-vision]

Dude, I see this everyday with my clients! "... and then we're going to add the chocolate." almost made me do a spit take! Thank you for all you do for this community. You literally helped me cut the Adobe cord (never to look back)!

[@faizbhatti7008]

very funny and a lot of knowledge

[@JoshRosario310]

I love this, especially the demonstration of the edit. Even though it's 2024 and I should be used to it by now, I still struggle to be okay with the amount of jump cuts that are in today's videos. I try to do zooms or b-reel to hide them but I'm wondering if too much of those is just as distracting? Love your content!

[@unclemick-synths]

Some just go over the top but there's a happy medium. I think it's important to keep the flow going. Timing is important for that. Some people seem to have no sense of rhythm with their edits.

[@wvansluisveld3011]

Thanks for teaching me how to make chocolate milk, was trying to figure it out for ages but never nailed it.

[@jonbryant9343]

You clearly had a blast making this...its shows you crazy milk fondler:) Seen many a "video" where the maker used every pattern wipe available and took the same approach to fonts and colour schemes.

[@Sakshi-Edits]

Great job! Useful advice.👍 That can change an awful video to an awesome video!

[@PiersCawley]

Chocolate Milk Instructor Casey is just brilliant! 100% would watch more!

[@MyLifefunthingss]

do more! do more review edits and fix!!!!

[@overthefendergarage]

Casey you had me rollin! 🤣🤣

[@TABonTV]

I love how at 4:29 you gain a 3rd eye and the key to untold knowledge. Hilarious vid. 👏🏻

[@FlyWithARTii]

Great ideas will definitely be adding some of them in my next video, 😂so funny

[@flightographist]

Thx for the laugh, Ima gonny use your suggestions for my how to make chai short. The other Kasey, camera conspiracies, uses slow mo to run across streets all the time, it builds tension and engages the observer...wondering whether he will get hit by a bus!

[@simplifyhandles]

Thank you for this video. Can you pretty please do another video like this one with multicam cringy mistakes? Thank you!

[@kees-janjekel7419]

Thanks for the laughs

[@christian-schubert]

Okay, now you GOTTA upload the raw, uncommented version. I think we're writing KZbin history here

[@jaimefernandez2624]

honestly it would be nice for people who want to learn from this to have the raw footage so they can try to fix it themselves before seeing how you fix it. right now people who are learning have to either record their own footage or find someone who asks free editing, just for learning practice.

[@rohanvatturkar1928]

Making an intentionally bad video is a really difficult job. Props to the editor😂😂

[@irunwithsharpobjects6395]

This reminds me of an old video where a guy was making fun of overly descriptive photoshop tutorials. "Use your mouse to click...and you can see I'm using a red mouse, but you can also use a blue mouse or a black mouse or a wired mouse...just any mouse you have"

[@TheRealBarkinMadd]

Brilliant! I laughed my ass off through this whole video. Cheers :-)

[@Rob_65]

It is amazing how you are able to capture 90% of all youtube habits in this one example 🤣

[@rolithesecond]

If you hit del instead of backspace it will also clear out the gap when removing part of a clip (you obv know this, just saying it for ppl who don't)

[@rolithesecond]

Do we have the original video you made for this without the "reaction"? I'd love to use it with people and see how many they can spot.

[@PawFromTheBroons]

1:10 I blame years of PowerPoint presentations. 😆

[@hindesite]

TBH, one of the best tools for beginners was the original GoPro Studio with templates. The use of templates FORCED you to be very concise with what you want to show, which is a good habit to build.

[@rolithesecond]

around 17:30, you could also leave in the voice of "take some chocolate stuff..." and already overlay the video of him/you doing it

[@DKairmax]

I love how an editor gets so serious even if he is editing the most hilarious or funny video ever

[@CaseyFaris]

Thanks!

[@EricLefebvrePhotography]

Casey ... I would LOVE to sit with you as you watch any of Neil Breen's movies. I was in the theatre watching Cade: the tortured crossing and I just kept yelling at the screen "YOU CAN CUT NOW NEIL! NEIL!!! YOU CAN CUT! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CUT TO THE NEXT SCENE NEIL!!!". And yes ... the title of the movie is NOT CAPITALIZED! I would love a reaction video from you on that movie. God, his green screen work reminds me of the old FMV games from the mid 80's LOL. Contact shadows? What are those?!? LOL.

[@RichieBeaumont]

Your Resolve videos are always amazing but now I’m also motivated to start a dairy business 😅

[@sofjasdavincitutorials3685]

This is funny!

[@Resolve_This]

Casey and Sam! This was NOT cringy at all ;-). This was soooo funny... Now I'm gonna get me some chocolate milk (it's a 16 step process).

[@raguellagrande7344]

I would love to have a chance at editing this video from scratch and delete back with you for your edit critiques if you do that kind of video.

[@505CABRAL]

At 3:22 the carton of milk is full. A few seconds later and its almost empty. How many takes did you have to do? Making chocolate milk at home must be harder than it looks😂. Thankfully we now have this video to help us figure it out!

[@CaseyFaris]

Boy it was rough. It was a 3 day shoot and our flights were all delayed. We ended up shooting on Alexa, which was fine, but wanted to do 16mm 😏

[@patricksewell2010]

I don't think I've laughed so hard in my life😂. I swear I just lost 20 lbs from just laughing, in Casey knows I have more than 20 lbs to lose, so I'm gonna need some more videos like this buddy😅. But on a more serious note, excellent work on the video. It is pretty impressive what you can do by just cleaning up editing alone 👌

[@CaseyFaris]

Great to help ya out!

[@TheMagicman1971]

Make the opening contours shades of brown and it could represent the chocolate milk. Have it come up from the bottom with the title "floating" on the top. Just saying, it would make for a cute intro.

[@OriginalRaveParty]

This is a golden idea. It's like a first girlfriend telling you to stop wearing that horrible brown cardigan that you've been wearing for too long, that you should never have bought anyway. Those people improve your life.

[@madeiraislander]

3:23 the jug was full, 5 seconds later it's almost empty 🤔🤣 8:18 i can see some people actually filming the plastic going into the trashcan xD Really cool video, i love it 😂😂👌🏻

[@Tumshiz]

i felt so attacked when i saw the camera overlay, an i loved it

[@RaphaelChan888]

Damn, you just shot down a whole bunch of my future videos that I haven't even made yet!

[@TariaTea]

Now make an excellent version... would be a good contrast!

[@CaseyFaris]

Oooh great idea!

[@bole6691]

can someone send me raw footage of this i want to edit it

[@KeepCalmandCraftOn]

😂😂😂this cracked me up!

[@psoon04286]

Gimmi a break Casey. I got influenced by you to get into video editing so I got to put in all those nifty tricks and cool add-ons🤪🤣😂

[@marcelofarah8657]

I'm not an editor, just a beginner, but this video made me laugh so hard. 🤣🤣

[@DetlefRecktenwald-Healing]

Boah Ehh, this Video is better than AFV, I was laughing from the beginning till the end. Casey you are very talented. Hope you will make more , awesome

[@everybodylovesjimmyofficial]

Did you get this video at a swap meet 2 or 3 years ago?

[@JakeyWakey]

This is video one of the Casey fixes KZbin playlist.

[@Sundox]

I've used those blue waves already and they worked. 😂😂😂

[@StuartHetzler]

BONUS TIP 1: when doing a crop-in jumpcut, remember to keep the subject's eyes in relatively the same place on screen. BONUS TIP 2: for the love of your mother, father, and your god, if you use vertical video in a horizontal aspect ratio, don't just leave it on a black background.

[@vatogomareli]

Ja rule has some super dope spoonz tho!
