Editing Tips for when the Cinematographer SUCKS

[@evan_kat]

When you just DP'd a film and find this in the editor's watch later playlist

“Every scene has to earn its run time.” Brilliant comment and concept!

[@THEdenzelhoward]

going through this issue myself (i too was the bad cinematographer in question 😭)

[@EricLefebvrePhotography]

A trick for minor flickering ... duplicate the footage, ofsset the timing by a frame, reduce opacity to 50%. In this case I would also add a power window. That SHOULD reduce the flickering immensly. If you have a proper deflicker tool, use that but in a pinch for light flickering ... this trick can work. Side note: I started making tutorials as well and I am so jealous of people like YOU, Mr. Alex Tech, Casey Ferris, Ryan Conolly ... you all have such great camera presence in your tutorials!

I'm always THAT cinematographer, and thank you so much for helping me deal with editing my own filth

0:32 what the hell lmaoooo

[@toastbrot97]

Hot tip: if you add a vignette in post, don't do it as a simple black overlay. Ideally you wanna use a blend mode like overlay or soft light for it since vignettes almost never linearly approach black. Overlay and softlight also effect the luma, chroma and hue of the underlying footage which is much more natural.

As a request, I'd like to see how you edited a clunky back and forth scene that was too long....show us the before and after so we could see how much shortening a weak scene helps.

[@dangerdelw]

I love this content! It is so insanely helpful to see you break down a film from beginning to end!

[@RayProductionsDRA]

Like a youtube jumpcut... uses jumpcut immedietely afterwards. Love it 😂 (3:32)

[@onyx_mango]

thanks to your video on sound design, the short film i made for homework made it to my college audiovisual awards thing !!!

THE WAY I CHOCKED ON MY DRINK WHEN I SAW THE THUMBNAIL AND THE TITLE LMFAOUI

[@RotarySMP]

Your actress did crazy well :) Fantastic editing. Thanks for sharing your workflow.

[@anthonypc-248]

SAME. But also the wireless lav audio of dialogue for my project had terrible interference. AND without consistent slating nor timecode I just spent the weekend manually syncing up disorganized audio to the shots which I'd already edited in a timeline. (I took breaks) The auto-sync tool failed to work with the corrupted audio of the Rode WirelessGo lav that was recorded to camera, and I found no simple way in DaVinci Resolve for re-populating a manual sync of raw clips on one timeline into all the cut up shots on another timeline. So, here I am dragging and dropping each bit of external audio under every individual 2 to 7 second shot in the edit (since I got the better boom audio later) and trying to find clear consonants to match up with actors mouths, sometimes realizing the reason it would get slightly off later was because it was sound from one of the other takes with the same words.... Not even to mention needing to reframe to crop out stuff like a mic in frame, which meant needing to similarly reframe subsequent shots to be consistent. I'm telling myself the silver lining is this is like an ultimate challenge for learning to use this software I'm new to. Thanks for the space to vent. Back to the grind now 🫡

[@ausdoug974]

Excellent. I really enjoyed watching this and learned quite a bit. Thank you for creating it for us.

[@soggybawsmoto]

I'm just a noob 'tuber, but this hit my feed just as I was about to start my latest edit. Super inspiring to help raise my game!

[@dorothyzb]

This was great, Kent! I learned a lot, even though I will never be as proficient in post as you are. Just goes to show that you really do "write" a film the third time in the edit!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Oh, I thought Creative Illumination was a reference to your shirt. This was a fantastic video. I hope you do more of this step by step over the shoulder editing.

[@DavidRyanBowens]

You have so much wisdom.🔥

[@2365Films]

Absolutely incredible info and video! Ty, and BRAVO!!!

[@Animator-s5t]

Can’t wait to see your next video!

[@Giovanni-Giorgio]

Forgive me father for i have sinned. I was so in love with my iPhone i decided to do a short film with it and left a poor colorist and editor in pain😢

[@anthonypc-248]

My cat would Know which is the most expensive lens to target first. He loves to test gravity with anything I or our guests leave out on high surfaces. Loves to nudge tooth brushes into the toilet bowl.

[@formerlywassunsugongbu]

As a future cinematographer, I will make sure that I won't suck and give the editor a nightmare.

[@louis-l5c]

Another video Lets Goooo

[@stanleymakafui]

6:20 he literally knocked the cheap L-Series knockoff off the counter😂

[@AdventureswithDreadandFriends]

Love this! thanks for sharing I switched to Davinci Resolve a few months ago due to $$. Premiere Pro was getting too costly. If you have any tips/tricks for Davinci, that would be great! I remember your course on sound design and use it for all my videos Thanks again! I love your work!

[@thecuriousorbit]

thank you, the discussion really help our small channel

[@nigeljoycey5644]

Also breaking the axis with the sink scene

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Who ever played the Mother-in-law did a fantastic job.

[@chairchriss]

Goddamn, Louie. He better have lens insurance.

[@BProductionServices]

Why do you duplicate the layers instead of just adding lumetri colours effekts on one layer?

[@spooled.pixels]

Me I’m that DP. I’m learning haha. Easy there.

[@이마크-r8e]

As both a DP and Editor, I'd rather be a DP since I can do a decent job, send it to any editor and it might still look good. I don't wanna suffer editing footage that looks bad that I can't salvage hahaha.

[@IZSIN222]

walmart joe from “you”

[@maxmeyer6395]

I burst out laughing when he revealed that he was the DP xD

[@GyvonJante]

The dp on this is the worst to have ever been involved,... actually I AM the dp of this project! LMAO!!!!!

[@my3rs307]

Kent i made a new short called The Box 2, I'm pretty sure you'll like it!

[@gregbleakleyproductions]

maybe I'm to cautious with my shots. Maybe i jaut need to indie film it and hope i get something 😭😂

[@OnlineG9Game]

Hello teacher, do you make advanced editing videos here?

[@LeeHarris]

More cats!

[@adventureaheadphoto]

This will help me when editing my own crappy videos for sure 😂😂

[@cyb]

Add a freeze frame effect and insert a narrator punchline

[@mrblue2]

Nice twist

[@kirapurinton]

Been following your channel for a while, really enjoy your videos but the number of commercials throughout this particular video made it difficult to watch.

[@francisTHEBEATS]

Hey! Just a quick question, why do you use layers for the power window effect, instead of applying multiple Lumetri effect and then create a mask? Does it affect the image quality or like lower the quality of the image? Just curious. You’re amazing sir! Love your vids

[@StandardStoryCo]

Depending on what you're doing, doubling up color effects on the same clip can cause weird things to happen w/ the color and potentially degrade the footage, so it's safer (and simpler for my brain) to do it this way IMO

[@francisTHEBEATS]

@ and that’s why you’re the best! Awesome sir, definitely will apply it to my future edits.

[@Fizzbuzz994]

"I'm my cinematographer." Only reason I came here was to make that joke and he ruins it in the first 15 seconds of the video. Oh well, I guess I'll learn something.

[@Fleeeep1]

Mmm she looks veryyyy familiar 🤨

[@so_whatsnext]

this is what i was looking for last evening 555555555555555555555555555555

[@warriorclassmedia]

📽️🎬👑

[@sandfan-x1e]

why am i watching this ? ( i am a cinematographer )

[@KofaOne]

This looks abysmal lol Just sell the $1k iPhone, get a 600$ Android and a 400$ Canon DSLR. Why are you torturing yourself lol

[@goshicus]

I like your videos, but my cinematographer's eyes hurt everytime I see your overexposed webcam 😭😭

[@DialloMoore503]

The window on the left?

[@goshicus]

@DialloMoore503 pretty much the whole left part of the frame

[@StandardStoryCo]

Yeah the cinematographer really sucked on this video
