Показать описание

How to edit video // Do you want to know how to edit videos better? Video editing can seem like daunting task if you are just starting out. So here we go over 5 basic principles of video editing to help get you started. These include avoiding jump cuts, using b-roll, cutting on motion, the 180 degree rule, and using motivated shots. As a bonus we also discuss how the direction of motion can influence how people perceive your video. These principles are based on the idea that unintentionally jarring elements can come across as mistakes to your audience and take them out of the experience. We hope these will help you in your next production.

The reason why we see left to right as going forward and right to left as backwards is because of our language! if your language is written left to right (such as English) that's why you experience that effect. Personally I'm from Iran and we write Persian (our language) from right to left! I'm not sure if that effect gonna work backwards! but still, interesting subject to discuses and it's just an idea! doesn't mean it works or anything! but so many editing books and masters suggest to maintain the direction of the screen. if the character was going left when he was going to office, he/she should be going right when going back home.

Your video is a great example of what you're teaching. I was engaged the whole time. The Left to Right thing is very useful, in fact, I'm going to use it in my online tai chi classes, let alone a video edit. Thank you for sharing this.

The tips were really useful. I unconsciously used 2 tips from this videos like the Jump cut and the flip horizontal one! Thanks.

Thank you very much for this video. I have learned a lot and I have been refreshed as well. Jump cuts are often a problem if you don't have enough shots to begin with. Keep up the good work, I am going to subscribe.
