Dare I say your cinematic-style tutorials are on the... cutting edge? When I looked up and saw this was nearly 8 minutes long, I couldn't believe it since it felt like you... sliced through the content so effectively.

HOW HAVE U NOT BLOWN UP YET YOUR EDITING SKILLS ARE OFF THE CHARTS

This was the most creative & mind-blowing tutorial I've seen, while still being straightforward. Thank you so much, Javier!

[michaellbrest]

The amount of editing technique you put into these videos to make them more fun and engaging is worth the effort. Thanks for taking the time!

I've been editing for 10 years, but am always learning new ways to be more efficient. This tutorial was outstanding, thanks Javi!

[MiauxCatterie]

funny, short, and not overwhelming to a beginner like me who found this while trying to figure out how to edit at all. this makes it look so much easier, i love that last tip, it's just the one for me. thank you thank you

I've mapped the split to the S key for simplicity, which I believe is how it was in Vegas back when I used that long ago.

[daytonavideoprod]

I'm just amazed how you made using the razor tool look so difficult, when it really isn't. It's one button click.

[ktolley]

trimming down the ripple tool to 4 steps are the basic way of editing in Avid, thank you for showing this.

[chasingdownchano]

The way this video flows, the writing, the transitions. It's all that of a channel with millions of subscribers. Great work. Keep it up.

[CHEFPKR]

You just changed my life. Also, absolutely fantastic video. Side Note: I have mapped Shift+Del and CTRL+K to my back/forward side mouse buttons...

[melaniemacdonald]

As an Avid editor looking to understand how techniques differ, this was an excellent video, super clear, fun and informative. Thank you!

[martzcopr]

First of all you just changed the freakin' GAME for me dude. WOW. Second of all your pacing and delivery are so refreshing and entertaining! Immediate subscribe.

[LeoRivero]

Honestly, Javier I don't understand how this video can have dislikes is such nice content and I think you explain it the best way possible thank you so much! I won't use the razor tool again!

[generalowen]

i actually like using the "q" and "w" for removing cut clips instead of the dragging thing. i think it's faster in practice even if it has more actions.

[Elimentox]

Me: Doesnt even use c and just clicks it manually every time

[binkybinkles]

this is hands down the most useful premiere pro tutorial i have ever watched, i even came back years later to re-configure my new laptop because i had forgotten how i got to use the add edit and why/how i had a keyboard shortcut for the ripple edits n stuff lol like i had just naturally become so accustomed!

I never used the rasor tool and you are the first to show these ways that are much faster ! Thank you for letting the world know
