Don't tell me what to cut, tell me what you want to feel. Love that

[@bobbihansel]

Man, this was incredibly insightful. I think Dany's points on integrity and the balance of freedom to speak ones mind vs when to read the room is vital to keep a happy cutting room. The importance of a quiet word kept between two parties is really valuable advice.

[@pheasantpluck]

Knowing that every job is temporary and that everything is an opportunity to learn in order to have the skills to take on a higher responsibility, while learning the ins and outs, is the way!! Great experience!

[@Jsjsjjssjs]

I wish we could get a version with the interview only

[@konstantinsavic]

man didn't like the edit in this video 🤣

[@travelerpictures]

Ok. One of the best videos from an editor's perspective that I have been given the honor to listen to as a fly on the wall--so intensely personal to what my experience has been. Beautiful! Thank you so much for this! Multiple levels are represented so clearly, and with such realism and lively accuracy. Thank you - thank you. Sharing this with my director and team.

[@justinalbertgrimaldo]

Several people have said this already but "Don't tell me what to cut, tell me what you want to feel" is so good. I am so thrilled to be hired more and more for editing jobs as of late and I've run into this a few times. Where the director will start to tell me where to cut and I've been trying to figure out how to approach mentioning what she did in this video. This is perfect. Thank you.

[@seabass_thorn]

Wow, thank you so much for doing this. Would love to hear more of this stuff from other professionals in picture editing!

[@CoachDeeFree]

This was phenomenal! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ThisGuyEdits]

Thank you!

[@FForwardFlashback]

Really enjoyed this interview! I really enjoy editing, but not so much for films. I enjoy using the techniques that I've seen for videos that I create for my brother's ministry and my sister's channel. It great to learn and practice these things

[@konstantinsavic]

good job, really inspirational

[@joserangelve]

Battlestar Galactica...one of my prefered series in my life...really amazing to have such talent in your channel Sven...what a great video. And the Erwan´s work it´s always pretty amazing...what a piece of video guys!

[@ErwannKerroch84]

That's very nice of you to say José ! Thanks !

[@MoviesRemastered]

This is great motivating content. Love it!

Could anyone please tell the name of the movie at 3:55 cause I've searched all internet :D

[@levit8]

@@kinoromantic 👍

[@kinoromantic]

@@levit8 Were you able to figure out the movie name?

[@narrativethreads_official]

@@kinoromantic Modern Romance (1981)

[@HamedEmine]

6:03 "If someone says cut here" I felt that, even though I'm a newbie editor, I lost my mind when that started to happen a lot in just one hour of working, I kindly asked the director what was the general idea and to let me deal with the rest alone, and if there was anything missing, I would make sure it's added and embellished with music. 😅

[@dtetz8299]

Meanwhile - Me sitting on my Suite doing everything alone. Even Sound and Grading :D Great Vid! Great Work!

[@kirywife]

"Hire a top notch 1st assistant editor" and I stopped watching and cried. I am not a editor, but it applies to any works.

[@krishartsphotography5643]

Awesome :)

[@archeuscs]

Is there a pdf example of that post production bible?

[@ruiz-lorenzofamily1427]

I have been searching but no luck...

09:06 "I just edited it". Nice.

[@infinaneek]

Wonderful. What about all that lovely tech tho?

[@skylorharden8643]

1k likes, deserves that tenfold.

[@nageshyadav105]

Which is the best software for movie editing

[@krupkake1]

Nice video thanks. How do you get movie clips? Do you capture from streaming services somehow? I haven’t been able to do that, lately 😢

[@ThisGuyEdits]

Things changed recently :) Screenflow used to work but not anymore. We have to look at other options.

[@krupkake1]

@@ThisGuyEdits yes! 😩 I used screenflow as well! If you find a way, please do post. I’ll do the same!

[@juanmacastro90]

buy a cheap hdmi splitter, that eliminates dchp, use a chromecast and capture that with your hdmi capture card

[@Purple_View7]

this guy literally edits

[@MichaelSchmidt_UrbnPxl]

interesting inside ... oh and btw, how did you get a very old photo of my old "home" edit room for the thumbnail for this? 😅

[@alinaamaro9125]

😮 I’m currently a student of Communication and I they never told me (yet) that a bible of postproduction exists but it makes SO MUCH SENSE. I learned a lot, thank you both for sharing. Also, did anybody know the name of the movie or serie form the minute 4:26? It will help me a lot to know, thanks!

[@1zymn1]

What's the Bruno Kirby movie?

[@Brian-Hansen]

Yep this is why I don’t edit in Hollywood. Too many politics. There’s something to be said for small projects with creative control. The prestige of editing high budget stuff just seems to have so many strings attached.

[@machiavellian333]

💯

[@fazruljalaluddin]

3:49 what movie is that? could someone help?

[@backlightfilms]

this new youtube style editing with all the stuff in between the interview to make it more flashy and to always put text in the video to emphasise the spoken word is a trend i don´t like...

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Interesting Daniel. There is a lot of it, and I was wondering whether it was to cover over what would otherwise be a shot of a talking head. My specialty is making the most boring video that is harder than rocks to digest. I was going to add a bit of this until I can figure out how to film a better film. It would be interesting to know you lean towards not liking the style.

[@MariWakocha]

@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals it's interesting, because at times I need it to bring me back to the video, or I'll zone out (like I do if it's just a video of a talking head), but at other times it's distracting me instead. I find it really hard to say what a video should be if it's only information, because it's almost easier to listen to it like a podcast while doing something stimulating, like dishes or makeup. But maybe editing that isn't flashy and jarring, like smooth editing that really emphasizes what is being said without also making a second point at the same time would be the easiest to take in. And maybe a flashier cut when the topic changes? Just some thoughts from someone without a lot of experience, but who finds it really interesting

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

@@MariWakocha best thoughts in town. You made me think of it from another angle. The printed lines of text force you to keep your eyes on the screen.......but yes, Often times I want to be in the room listening. Not the case with JustEdit Videos where it is a visual treat, but definitely if it is a youtube with a talking head giving an opinion and sharing ideas. I suppose I should be listening to podcasts over youtubes at times. (I like doing the dishes....Life gives us dishes for a reason). I think my videos need a little more text, until I can get rid of some of the talk. tHanks for the comments....I think I realized a few things I can change with upcoming videos. (The one I have today...is just another bore'fest) Have a super weekend!

[@MariWakocha]

@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals I'm glad to be of help! Have a great weekend ✨

[@ActorswithStrings]

You have the subscribers, you have the number of views - you maybe have control over where KZbin puts the Ads - I can handle clicking through or waiting for Ads to end to get back to your content but... at the end of your video [and many others] an Ad pops up and I think "oh it's not over - like a Marvel Movie - there is more of Sven's content in the credits!' but no it is just another Ad - boy I wish they did not do that [that last Ad] - In my mind I'm thinking about your content and EditRave - Then Poof it's gone... - sorry for the rant - thanks

[@OklaCaliT]

YOOOOO, was that a clip from FAITH BASED?

[@ThisGuyEdits]

It was :)

[@ErwannKerroch84]

Thanks for watching Tanner ;) Love your movie !

[@TomislavRupic]

There is an editor out thare that would love to have me as an assistant editor, too bad we cant find each other 🙃

[@konstantinsavic]

What is the name of the movie at 03:50?

[@narrativethreads_official]

Modern Romance (1981)

[@konstantinsavic]

@@narrativethreads_official thanks bro

[@Irrklang_cl]

I feel like all the intercut bits of "meme-y" footage distracted a lot from what Dany was saying and you weren't as able to process the information. But I guess in the times of hyper short attention spans thanks to Tiktok etc you gotta do what you gotta do

[@Jsjsjjssjs]

yeah I wish he would release a version with just the interview... honestly intercuting litterally every answer is so distracting

[@MariWakocha]

@@Jsjsjjssjs just put headphones on and listen to it like a podcast! I do that with a lot of KZbin videos where the visuals aren't needed

[@grimslater]

Ironic it's such a bad edit!

[@harpenfluit]

Oh wow, totally agree with you. What a distracting edit. I assume she had some good information but got lost within a short time.

[@CINENIMUS]

Wait a second… Titanic???? 👀👀👀 Expand please?

[@smareng]

6:07- Maybe it's because I'm still early in my editing career (1 feature, 2 MOWs), but I don't quite have the balls to say that yet. Not to a producer anyway.

[@MTB4LIVIN]

That was the best quote from the entire video. I plan on using that with my producers when appropriate going forward in my career.

[@MadGamezYT]

Ayo! That’s Daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter!

[@gdfan618]

Lmao dude

[@dcplyr]

One question? Does Avid Media Composer still runs Hollywood?

[@narrativethreads_official]

Pretty much yeah unless you are working for Fincher ;)

[@Emilioh888]

Really lost me with all the random memes. I wish it was only the interview.

[@peternavanac9310]

Disappointed. Your thumbnail picture seemed to say the video would reveal technical aspects of the edit or how to set up and edit room to be more efficient. It was NOTHING like that. Just a lot of dribble about interpersonal relationships in an edit room. Clickbait!

[@kristofermens]

Please just let an interview play without that constant stream of useless movieclips and quotes that don't give your interview of a greater value. Yeah it's cool that you can do it, but you shouldn't. It's nice for a short clip but not for ten minute interviews. It's too distracting.
