[@nacoran]

The Skillshare ad was worked in well, but the pop up youtube ads bothered me... it bothers me on other videos too, but on an editing video it's particularly jarring when an ad pops up in the middle of a sentence/thought. I know there is a way to control how many ads are on a video, but is there a way to control exactly where they pop up so you can space them more like you would TV commercials, where there is a natural pause?

[@ThisGuyEdits]

i hear you. unfortunately without the ads, youtube has very little incentive to recommend the video and views fizzle fast.

[@nacoran]

It's not that there are ads though, it's that they aren't placed well. Why can't they give you an exact point to add it, for instance, in this video, between points?

[@srikeshpillai]

Your videos makes me better and better every time, thank you, I surely get this book

[@ThisGuyEdits]

i went back in and reconfigured the ad placements. so they are now in between lessons. thank you for pointing that out.

Hearing him say that learning through KZbin works really keeps my hopes up.

[@AlpineRuin]

It does work! Never disregard it, until you look into it. When I am stuck, I can usually find SOME answer, or even just re-listen to the type of advice in this video. Even if a concrete answer to my issue isn't floating around online, remembering what the process is and what it does can amp me up to get back to it and tackle my projects.

Nothing beats actually doing it. Experience is king.

[@myenimtown]

yeah it is true tho, i taught myself to edit from youtube when i was pretty young, this website is great for learning new skills and you'd be pretty surprised at how easy it is with a little research

[@arturodeleon6904]

Great video! Here's a breakdown of what I took from each lesson, 1. Know when NOT to cut. Be present and keep your ego in check. 2. Edit to what YOU want. The director will come later and make changes. 3. Trust the process, your changes will be addressed if the film requires. 4. Be a collaborator. 5. Editing is a process of REVISION. You'll need to go back and edit what you edit. 6. Organization = editing. Compartmentalize the smaller chunks. 7. How do you make it as an editor? JUST START EDITING. Cut what you can, as often as possible. 8. Ask yourself, how does your scene affect the overall story? Make adjustments to keep it cohesive. 9. Use reaction shots wisely. Usually it's more interesting to show who's listening rather than who's speaking. 10. Study the why during editing. Make choices intuitively but know the analytical reason why you cut it that way in the first place.

[@casperdewith]

Thanks for the summary.

[@shazigetssober2394]

Thanks, was just trying to go back for the 2nd and couldn't find the place in the vid.

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Thank you for your service.

[@alexispapageorgiou72]

I'd add another one just from that magnificent intro. Pay attention ... See how Ejiofor's feet dug a hole. (Maybe from reshooting and all ...) A man really trying to survive, would shovel dirt from the curvature of the hole he created back into the crator (This also intensifies the whole length of the rope detail. Just enough to stay alive, not enough to stay alive after digging a hole.). Now instead of majestic, which it is, it becomes a matter of life and death. Some might say this is stepping on the director's toes. I say it's a collaborative medium. You notice something. You talk. The director tells you to f off? You comply and you don't feel like betraying the art.

[@MadsterV]

I'd add that 9 was about how showing who is listening (the reaction) is commonly known to be better, but sometimes you have to break that rule and show the full line being delievered when it's important and you want it to stick.

[@andrewedgar3935]

The added vfx in Arrival to make the dream sequence work was genius! It’s such a mundane scene but then the addition of the alien makes it so trippy and surreal.

[@Jacquobite]

The director seems to like having surreal multi-limbed creatures in small rooms shown in his films.

[@sstteevveenn77]

Can’t believe I watched this for free

[@rr.studios]

This is nothing compared to what professional editors have learned. It's merely the tip of the iceberg.

[@rr.studios]

[@OpenMind3000]

Nice video. Damn that Mindhunter scene is brilliant

[@kristofermens]

On the other hand, I can't really imagine it wasn't in the script. You can't just pull off a twist like that in a story, the reactions are vital. No?

[@droughdough]

@@kristofermens It isn't uncommon for actors to get different pages. It's totally possible Holden's lines as written on the pages given to the local cops was a boilerplate interview. Of course, there's no way these were the first reaction shots, but planting that seed of authentic reactions to the unexpected becomes a tool for the actor(s) to return to in subsequent takes.

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Ah...listen to the accent, guys.

[@ToastedSynapseGaming]

I think another important part for any person in this industry (including editors) is to always have an answer to the question of "WHY?". If somebody asks why did you cut there or why you shot like that, you shouldn't answer "because I felt that was needed", you should always have a clear (sometimes analytical answer) explaining WHY. Always be prepared to have answers to that question as you start your day and you'll do fine.

[@NostalgiNorden]

I completely disagree. If you listen to most of the greates editors(and artists) most of them go with their gut feeling. So much of art is impossible to put into words. Analytical answers are for the studio bosses to ruin movies and feel better about themselves. If we analysed ever cut alot of great classical cuts wouldn't have been made.

[@willy0297]

I am sure professionals do have their reasons as to why they do something (editing, getting certain shots, etc.). It's not uncommon for them to find it hard explaining the reasoning behind their own action. Also, remember that they are mostly learning by doing, trial and error, see what fits and what doesn't. It takes time to put everything they have learned into words that everyone, even the most clueless ones, can understand.

[@andinbriwel1092]

15:49 in this video

[@kendahkem5279]

@kshamwhizzle and generally speaking, you're not going to be sitting in the editor's seat without already first having built up a repertoire with the director to where they trust your judgement. If you're an assistant trying to bank on your "gut feeling" yeah, that's not going to wash. Trust me, directors can spot a good editor who understands rhythm and timing in where they choose to make their edit and they can spot a bs-er who doesn't know squat about shot composition and continuity.

[@raindropsneverfall]

I absolutely agree. It is an important aspect of-in my case-being a graphic designer. If you can explain why you've done something a certain way or speak your case, the client is more likely to see it from your side if your arguments are sound. Telling someone that you did something because you just felt like it is going to convince very few people.

[@SugarRayffs]

Im kinda new into editing and have watched TONS of tutorials on how editing works. I've learned a few technical tricks here and there. However, this video right here gave me a completely different depth and approach to how to actually get the storytelling, emotions and reactions on the audience side of the story. Thanks! Subscribed.

[@kendahkem5279]

either you're a storyteller or you aren't. That's the difference. Tutorials don't teach you discernment of video---that is learned through the doing of editing and studying under professionals.

[@juvencavazos3370]

I wrote, directed, and produced my first feature film. Everyone kept telling me to find an editor. I did it for months, but every editor I interviewed told me they could easily cut my movie into 90 minutes. I kept wondering, how do they know it will be 90 minutes? I was pleasantly surprised that the first lesson you discussed was the editor's ego.

[@shullfish]

They should have told you, "You and I will be able to get this to the perfect length for the story you're trying to tell..." 90 minutes is a great goal though for most films... :-)

[@brandonclark4882]

Love videos like these. They help me speculate my philosophy on taking my self-educated states of stasis and give me new external ideas to exfoliate in ideology. I'm a professional actor, but I don't market professionally as my braces just came off. However, I've been learning and studying my craft in detail for about 8 years now and I'm consistently improving still to this day. It's rather nice to know that no matter how much you learn, you can always use your educated guesses to acquire different types of new. I love the process of using mediums cohesively in film because they allow for a synergy out of exponentiating art uniformly. I can add details from my life and add speculation to it while I'm immersed in the genius of ingenuity from multiple minds who specialize in perfecting their "one thing" to make one story told for real in reel form. It's the modern symphony to tell a movie in its tale told form.

[@serrakamanga]

I enjoy watching videos on filmmaking and story telling, but I'm not in the industry and do not do so for a hobby. It just helps me be more conscious when watching films, understanding how they are put together, the hard work that is involved and the way a story comes to birth.

[@ivotenotocensorship5247]

[@tomstonemale]

To be fair, that happens a lot when you don't do a master of your dialogue between scenes and, if you don't watch your settings, one small cut can overlap two different layers of audio and when you see it in the timeline you think " that wasn't like that" and you cut the audio without hearing it. Rest to say you always double check the final product.

It would be nice to have a visual indicator when the interview is speaking, or some clear audible cue, especially since you cut them in so smooth and there is not a video of them speaking, at least in this video.

[@angelakate9063]

This is very educational for me. Because before i always admire actors that can act really well, i give them all the credits.

[@sk8rdad]

I learned by getting thrown into the fire. The truth is the story is created in the edit room. We editors rearrange scenes all the time from the directors cut especially when music is involved. Editing creates a rhythm and a motion between scenes and by extending a scene a few extra frames I can draw the viewers eye into the spot needed for the next scene.

[@dragonstone6594]

This has to be the stupidest comment I have ever read. Slavery should be hard to watch at any point in time.

Walter Murch correctly refers to editing as a "blink". Like the blink of an eye. When you choose not to blink during a moment when you don't want the audience to be able to look away (e.g. the agonizing hanging scene where everyday life continues) the result is an emotionally powerful reaction.

[@ThisisDigitalden]

A great way to review my own editing, after 35 years I keep learning...everything is worth considering

[@kthx1138]

Agree, it's all about the story and the rythms of feeling within the story. Directors always want everything they shot included, because they remember the blood, sweat and tears it took to capture each and every shot. Editors want time efficiency, to keep the movie from being boring.

I love the bit about Arrival. While a lot of editing advice is focused on cutting and dwindling the scene down, sometimes the best thing to do for the story is to extend or even create a moment in the edit. The "Film School" mentality is often to try to make things shorter and shorter, but there's a reason that Slow-Motion exists - sometimes the best thing to do is to slow down.

[@juliakercsmar6587]

i was so excited to hear about the process behind Arrival. That apperantly after thought cgi heptapod was jarring and meaningful. I loved the movie so much i immediately went and read the book. the book is actually a series of antholgical short stories that do have key themes they try to convey and piece together. I reccomend it do anyone. dont let the wordyness detour you! the first story starts out with words that my non-english native brain got scared to death from but the book i think was brilliant and the seemless expansion and warping the movie did based on the book is remarkable.

[@greg55666]

I can't believe this video shows the entire scene from Modern Romance! So few people realize that Modern Romance is the greatest movie about editing ever made. Footsteps!

[@NicholasSpies]

To become an editor that people seek out, you have to be both compliant with instructions but not afraid of varying from the given script you if you have found a better way. But if you change the course of the picture you must be able to articulate exactly why you have done so and why this is beneficial to the intent of the project. Absolutely no editorial decision you make is without a reason that you can articulate and 'sell' effectively to both the people who hired you and the ultimate audience. In fact, you must be the audience, that is, be the 'representative' and 'defender' of viewers during the duration of post production, and, again, be able to articulate in a convincing and winning manner every editorial decision you make. This requires that you must understand how viewers will react to your decisions. Acquiring this understanding involves analyzing how people interpret what they see and hear, down to the level of reflexes, the physiology of vision, prevailing beliefs, and much more. All of your understanding is but the means to the end of serving the goals of the project and the people who created it. Ideally, your work will please everybody if you exceed their expectations while letting them take credit for your work. The pleasure you find in editing should be the problem solving of editing itself and not the 'recognition' of your work.

I´ll keep with this: you, practicing (learning and doing), are going to improve...and develop your talent on this...and start to make right choices more oftenly in your editing...developing your own method...choices and method wich you´re going to explain others when you suceed! 👊😄
