Millions Millions Millions, you deserve millions of views

[@christiansimmerl]

As an Editor myself I'm just constantly thinking holy moly, ALL THIS ANIMATIONS for Explaining what you did etc took sooooo much time an effort. Highly appreciate what you are doing here but guys, you are nuts! :D All the best and love to the animator/editor, a really great viewing experience.

[@Cineinsaner]

[@FilmEditingPro]

Thank you! Will do!

[@de.movies]

Need more on this topic

[@scottyscream]

A really great topic and video to address. I think this video really helps us (the editors) see a "think aloud" to a process that's usually one that goes unspoken. It pulls back the curtain and helps each editor weigh some positive and negative ideas/possibilities that ultimately polish the final 10% of the cut. Great job and would love to see more of these videos.

[@FilmEditingPro]

Well said! Two more to come on this topic.

[@CaptainChuks17]

This is awesome, no time wasted at all. This tutorial has all the answers to questions some film editors usually needed help with 👍

[@AyanDaceStudios]

Love your videos, so much value.

[@FilmEditingPro]

Much appreciated! 👍🎞🎬

[@bodomassa]

Thanks for sharing this training. It is far beyond what you can find on a free platform. I appreciate this a lot and this helps to getting better. It helps me to name the issues I can feel in my edits but can't find them to make the result better.

[@FilmEditingPro]

You're very welcome!

[@rajurockzzz3234]

I learned alot of valuable thing which i didnt learned in any youtube channel or in my film school....thanks alot for doing this kind of tutorials ...love from india ♥️ huge respect to you guys

[@FilmEditingPro]

[@FilmEditingPro]

Always!

[@ScantEgoOfficial]

could you make a tutorial how to make animations like you did in the begining of your preimer pro timeline

[@FilmEditingPro]

Yes indeed! This question has popped up a lot under this video so we’ll be making a tutorial on that process next.

[@josejoaomarafuz7493]

Great video. Thanks, Chris!

[@PioneerCinema1]

love this! thank you for making stuff like this and i will for sure be using Louper with all my clients from now on. I was using Discord lol not very professional.

[@FilmEditingPro]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dbrown6804]

Great ideas on working with new content from already created content, where there are no project files available. I run into this exact situation all the time on corporate media production in healthcare. This tutorial about what options are available is more enlightening to me. I have purchased a number of your courses and each have given me a perspective and approach to editing, that has saved me a huge amount of time. My deliverables are ahead of my due dates, at a fraction of the time to edit. I am very much interested in learning more from your courses. Thanks Chris and Film Editing Pro!!.

[@FilmEditingPro]

Outstanding! That’s a fantastic situation to be in. I’m glad we’ve been able to assist 😁

[@vicpido2925]

Solution 4 is the best option of all. But personally the "awkward" out transition of text its still workable if you end the text fully to motivate the cut. Then in solution 4, instead of slowing it down why not alpha the text then add some low percent gaussian blur or add some adjustments layer to add the dark effect separation to text. It will be workable to edit the background clip to adjust the hand movement to motivate the cut and it will help save the frame rate of clip.

[@DSM01]

These are small but really helpful work, thanks need more

[@FilmEditingPro]

More to come!

[@ZeeGeeSims]

Next two please 😊

[@rikzak9552]

Great - thank you for doing this.

[@FilmEditingPro]

Absolutely, Rik!

[@AIOINTELLIGENCE]

Hey what computers specs do i need to edit an 1hour 4k movie?

[@ron-soroker]

Thank you very much for sharing these videos. I would be happy if you made a video about the trailers of the Kingsman movie series and for all the VFX that appears in the film

[@cliftonixs]

Yo FEP! It's been a while. I've since upgraded to head development editor for Sony Pictures TV-Non-fiction. For all the ways to fix an edit, this is exactly how it's done. I use them all the time. I think one step further is to know what edits to use in what professional circumstance. If I have a cut that's due at the end of the day with lots of notes, I'd opt for the edits that get the job done quickly, like the simple cut. Where as if a cut is due weeks away, I'd play with around with style to see what works. Also knowing what effects/transitions may slow down your workflow, take longer to render, or be buggy with your edit software, can also dictate which edits you use to solve those awkward cuts. What I love about you guys is that you take the "creative direction" from clients, a director, producer, etc, and distill the edit process and workflow down to the 'how to' editing basics. I've loved you guys from the beginning and look forward to your other tutorials! I can already see the music fades up at the top on your graphics, oh man, just come in on the down beat of the music and add 4-8 frame rise, hit, woosh to get us going! Something I learn from y'all with Art of Music Editing. Ohh, and also appreciate your shout out for a past comment of mine on a email blast for The Art of Drama Editing!

[@FilmEditingPro]

Hey Clifton! Great to hear from you and huge congrats on the new job! Great points about the additional considerations when solving issues a cut: timeframe/due date and processing overhead (particularly on longer timelines when you’ll be doing a lot of live playback for client reviews). 🎞🎬😁

[@romeovkuki]

Professional😮

[@info_and_studies]

You really made me think of such creative ideas 🧠to which I had never paid attention. By the way thanks for sharing your experience.👍

[@FilmEditingPro]

Excellent!! 👍🎞🎬

[@SG-pi1yp]

this is awesome, thank you! What mic do you use?

[@FilmEditingPro]

[@athanorproducciones]

Hola. Como estas?,, se que no hablas español, aun asi quiero apelar a que vas a usar traductor. Primeramente, quiero felicitarte por tu trabajo. En segundo lugar, te aliento a que los cursos que vendes en tu web, los tengas con opciones de idiomas. Actualmente eso lo puedes resolver con alguna AI. Sin otro particular, atentamente, José

[@FilmEditingPro]

Great to meet you and thank you so much for the kind words! We’re are definitely considering translation of the courses. It’s a good idea.

[@MushtaqAli-bq9fg]

Thank 😊

[@hii4499]

Hii, loved all of your videos, I have a question. I use premiere pro as well as after effects. For edits which requires bit more animation, i edit in ae but sound design and sfx in ae feels renting to me . What is the process of putting small sfx to animation? Should i design in Ae or in premiere pro after other edits get done? I hope you understood my question.

[@nekola203]

you could also reverse it halfway so it goes out in the same direction it came in

[@armandoparra9520]

Very good video, I am a beginner but I'd love to know more about this.

[@FilmEditingPro]

Thanks, Armando! Lots more on our channel and here on our website: www.filmeditingpro.com/freetraining

[@We4kness_Spotter]

Can you all pls share how u make the editing edit, like the intro

[@FilmEditingPro]

1) Stitched together 4k screenshots of the timeline. 2) Cut out each segment. 3) Created a long blank timeline to match 4) Import into AE a PSD with all clips as separate layers plus empty timeline layer 5) Sequentially animate all clips sliding into place. Add generous easing at end for soft landings. 6) Animate camera as needed. 7) Multiple steps to create and animated orange overlays and labels 8) Export as ProRes QT 9) Import into place in Premiere sequence 10) Add sound design

[@BrawlhallaMordex]

how did make the first 10 secs? was it asset or made it one by one at ae and make a 3d camera on it? Please LMK thanks and I was surprised with 3d view when adding music at alibi It seems really tough time at editing XD

[@jaysondescarga3551]

7:50 I'd try to use Optical Flow on that clip but I think it's unnecessary.

[@AkaBull]

Noice!!

[@saqlainahmed7172]

Need more please

[@danielerdos3046]

Great video and ton of cool infos 🙂 all 3 could be a viable option in my eyes. The 3rd is more KZbiny, videographer, social media solution to me, the 5th is kind of cinematic/trailer look to the cut and the 4th is movie or general motion picture. I usually like the 4th the most but in this case I like it the least 😀 looks good, but text on screen with no human interaction (only close-up on the hand) to humans collaborating without text clip is just too different for me for a hard cut 🤷‍♂️ the way you cut it made it work but for me in this scenario a bigger transition could stitch those two scenes together better 🙂

[@lakshayyadav676]

Would love a video on how to edit music for talking head videos

[@shepuchibhaji]

Why does your website not work for me? I'm not sure why. Could you look into it?

[@FilmEditingPro]

Hey there! Everything should be up and working fine. Can you please send us an email at [e-mail] with a description of the problem you’re having? We’ll help you out right away 👍🎞🎬

[@rohansukhani7880]

More Videos please

[@FilmEditingPro]

More to come 😁🎞🎬

[@NURMOHAMMAD-rw1sq]

More video please...

[@FilmEditingPro]

More on the way 👍

[@haroldmorganTulsa]

With the Blackmagic cloud, I think Louper would be unnecessary.

[@TokosCreatives]

In my humble opinion, a simple cut after the first push left animation of the text , duplicating that segment right next to it, reversed it so it pushes back the text where it came from, would have been resulted in keeping the pushed in/out animation of the text and would had solved the issue in 1 minute, without the whole stress presented here. Great techniques tho.

[@romanbruni]

solution 4 is best for this video. but instead of slow down frame, why not print last frame image and insert let stay there without stuttering ? cheers from Rio

[@FilmEditingPro]

Hello! A complete freeze frame would likely be noticeable and awkward without any movement in the background.

[@goodpuffs]

What I hate about these kinds of videos is that creators put themselves in an upload schedule with such an inconsistency and a long month upload gap. The video you made is only 10 minutes long, yet, it took after 6 months for you to upload again. I think you need you be 'economical' when it comes to selecting certain types of effects and animations, as they can drain your time─and the currency your paying is time. You should learn how to be wise whether the composition is worth adding fancy HD effects or not. Sometimes simple video transitions can work with just a bit of commentary.

[@goodpuffs]

Don't get me wrong, I love the video editing overall, it shows technical and abundant knowledge of AE's editing toolkits─and that I think you're passionate of your editing works. But you have to know and try the art high quantity and minimum effort for a high output!
