I'm just here to offer my one tip. If your video feels dull and boring and slow. Watch through it, but every time you feel like it's getting boring, pause the video. Add a cut there and delete the remainder of the clip. That space needs to be filled by a new shot. Keep doing this through your whole video and watch how much energy is added to your edit.

Started watching your content when I was much younger and I now have an internship at a video production company and a lot of what I have learned up to this moment is because of you. It can be hard to know the real world impact your videos have but just know it has helped my life significantly. Thank you :)

I watch A LOT of youtube video tutorials on video - and I think I can safely say yours are my favorite. Always very substantial and usable advice - with one third ingredient that makes them superior to most. They make you want to go make videos and get better. I am energized at the end of your videos, not tired and ready for a break. Thanks!

Thank you for such awesome vids Daniel. I do what I call the "hype sequence" at the top of all my studio tour videos and they're all very much based on your style. However, 3 years in I still see so much space to grow. Rewatching these for fresh inspiration!

We recorded the same action from different angles and distances, that helps me a lot so that my videos don't look too boring, I think what you're telling us applies a lot to what we're doing, now yes, we'll do this with more confidence, although it takes time time, well worth it. Good information Daniel, watching your videos is always a motivation to keep going.

I started watching your videos years ago before I could even afford a camera. I remember replaying your edits over and over again until I could finally break down how everything was coming together. After a summer in construction I spent my savings on a camera and started making videos and throwing them on instagram. As a long shot looking to make back my money I tried to slide into the dms of a local smoothie chain. Their media manager was super chill and loved my other content, so she agreed to let me shoot some short videos. Referrals from that longshot job have landed me to a full time job in media production. Not only do you set the bar for content awesomeness but you are also willing to share your advice/skills. Thank you brother for all your hard work and dedication to helping us grow with you

One of the best video breakdowns I’ve ever seen on YouTube and described very well. Goes well with motivated movements!

[amitjoshi]

Loved this tip! I have been noticing this too. I'm not a professional editor but I pursue this as my hobby and I love that my observations/thoughts resonate with your tutorials sometimes. I learn so much from you. Thank you so much Daniel :)

DANIEL IS BACK.

He never left us, but this made me nostalgic. Very much the style of video that I fell in love with back in 2020.

Movement is a big thing. I love it. I've recently put movement in my talking head videos by punching in 1.3x and tracking the head to remain in the middle. gives an almost like parallax effect. Has subtle movement without distracting from the main content.

[JayneNicoletti]

I agree with this so much. In an effort to cut down on time during my cooking short videos, I realized I was doing this and cut those lead in moments to actions.

[btnegig]

Correct! and sometimes it is a matter of sense, how we feel the pace and put them into a good sequence. Great tips!

4:15 "constant motion"...

Excellent advice. National Geographic does the same with hour long documentaries split into 5 second sequences

[BillStreeter]

For fast paced sequences I like to start well into the action. Works great with a j cut too. It really boosts the energy of the whole piece.

I haven't watched a video of yours in a minute, but man did I miss them 🙌🙌. I your work. I hope one day I can make a fraction of the quality vids you make. thank you for the inspiration sir, you have no clue how much you help keep the hunger in my belly for this.

[lyt-films]

Thank you for this video ! I've been editing for years now, and naturally I understood that and applied it to my videos, but I had never actually put words onto it. Your video helped me understand why I was doing it ! ☺

[DiaGraphics]

This tip is so simple but yet mindblowing! i never noticed this issue but you are totally right! thank you for sharing

[Serenify]

Chef's kiss with this stuff man! Thank you as always for your helpful content.

[vdjalienofficial]

Thank you so much I learned so much from you and now I'm rewatching my old videos and see my mistakes. Have a good one.
