How to Make Better Jump Cuts

How to Make Better Jump Cuts. If you create videos on YouTube, then you know how tough it is to deliver the words what you have to say. You stumble on your words, you get lost, or you completely forget what you wanted to communicate. If you are like me, you have to do multiple takes before you are satisfied. Thankfully, we can cover up our mistakes with jump cuts. However, I see many people do jump cuts the wrong way. It just looks bad!

So, today I am going to tell you what you are doing wrong so you can make better jump cuts. I use Final Cut Pro X in this tutorial, but the concept will work the same in iMovie, Adobe Premiere, Filmora, Sony Vegas, etc.

This is the best advice ever! I'm applying this to my current project and it's making my audio at the cut so much smoother...smooth like BUTTA!!! I will forever do this now, so worth it!

I have watched a ton of "help" videos like these and usually come away with as many new questions as answers. But MARCOS' audio & video & explanations are concise, yet CLEAR and effective. And that is KEY to good instruction. His is the ONLY FCP channel I have actually subscribed to. Thank you, sir, for your effort and for sharing! I look forward to more.

I just made the switch from Premiere Pro CS6 to Final Cut Pro x and your videos are a massive help, thank you!

This is great man! I learned something new today, I never thought about making one cut and then pull the clips to where I need them to be...I was making two cuts and then letting the clips come together. Your way is ten times better!

This was super helpful!! I wa using b-roll to cover the cuts, but sometimes the speaker needed to be visible, so this is huge help! THANK YOU!
