Don't Ruin Your Quick Cuts with This Editing Mistake

Thank you! Never thought about this!

I work on this constantly, thanks for the reminder!

Informative Vid.
I do quick cut all the time, usually i can get a good music and cut on beat. It feels cool as long as the music is cool.
But I forgot whom, he mentioned when cut, he will feel the logic/feeling, not exactly cut on beat.

So eventually now i try cut on beat/logic(based on what's on screen, movement etc)/and 'eye track-(recently)'

Great video 👏 One of those things i find you do mostly instinctively in an edit, but eye tracing sums it up perfectly 😀 Also, i find matching up camera movement directions in shots also helps for a smoother flow!

Thank you so much!!!!helpful information

You are a video editing grandmaster! Keep up the great content!

Nice one, Thanks

Man 20 year career heavy equipment mechanic here. I’ve done anything and everything a mechanic can do. Built engines, transmissions, hydraulic pumps, tracks, weld everything under the sun back together but the most challenging thing I’ve done in my life is learning cameras/editing. I really enjoy it. It’s always challenging to see what you can make. It’s little stuff like this that makes me excited to learn. Great video

Anyone else waiting for him to redo the Bad Bunny edit so we could see what it shoulda looked like? ———————->🙋‍♂️

Thanks man! Learned something new today!

So simple but so important! Mind blown. :)

Absolutely love this dude. Definitely want more and more of these editing concept breakdowns!

Thanks for the video Dylan! Always trying to improve this technique in projects I work on.

Thanks Dylan. Learn new thing from your video.

Banger video, the breakdown and comparison between the two scenes were amazing.

Editing 101 💪🏼

To me it was the fact that the clips were panning as soon as we went in to them. Totally jarring to be able to watch anything moving like that. If they had have been cut at larger intervals then that may have helped but as they say they were all over the place.

I was kind of hoping you’d fix that video for us to show before and after. I really love what you showed us in the video but that would have made it a little better.

Freekin Awesome!Thank You

This is what I've been waiting/looking for. For years.

Thanks very much!

Love this concept. While I think I've been doing this by instinct, it's nice to actually have a concept to follow. Thanks!

Great to be reminded of this. George Miller and his editors have talked about this quite a bit for the Mad Max movies.

I struggle greatly with fast cutting, but I guess practice is king. Great tips, hopefully this will help me :-)

Awesome tips, Dylan! I am always stoked to see another upload from you. 😌

Are there grid lines or something in FCPX that make living things up easier? Thanks. Great video!

More!

This was gold. Thanks!

Awesome trick, thanks!

yo you have " watch tower of china" what a perfect legend example!

This is the third time where I am currently doing a project and I get stuck on something in my edit that is very specific, but you somehow make a video about it the very next day or two 😂

Great tip and well presented!

I had first heard of this from @HillierSmith. I installed Rule of 3rd plugin to FCP so I could line up the eyes perfectly between clips. I want more of these little tidbits.

Great topic to cover and very helpful breakdown!!

"Let me mute this music..." THANK YOU!

Wow! THIS IS BRILLIANT! Thank you Dylan <3 You are one of my two fav Dylans (the second is @thefinalcutbro) :D

Great editing tip! I also use the same technique with positioning video's with horizons in their image. I try to keep them at the same level, so that they don't jump up and down. Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you! ❤

Great! Thank you Dylan. I love your Storytelling also. It works so good and keeps me in your video. 😊

great video, I learned alot

I have never considered this… very helpful Dylan!!!

I always wondered what this was called as an editor

Love this! Exactly what I want to learn more, psychology in editing to make a edit better.

Great video thanks

Wow dude. Money with this vid. That is what I’m screwing up
