We film a section, cut and then zoom in on the camera and film the next and so on.įor our channel, we tend to use these when we make a mistake presenting and then zoom in on the camera, go back to the natural edit point in the script and start again. The second way to do a jump cut is like how we do it on our own YouTube channel a lot. To nail this style, you want to embrace them. You don’t just cut randomly all over the place though, ideally, you’d do it before a new piece of information or the start of a sentence. Jump cuts, in their simplest form, can be used to hide errors or add energy, you often see this jump style on YouTube videos. That could be 20 seconds or it could be 1 second. Jump cuts are when you cut the narrative, maybe delete a little bit of what was filmed and then place the next part or new clip that has appeared as a result of the cut next to it. An important cut for learning how to edit a YouTube video. This is where we introduce your first basic cut to master, the jump cut.
Once you have done that, we move on to the third part of editing a YouTube video the narrative, timing. (Despite the amount of comments we get from people claiming it does not… it does 😉 It takes a lot lot longer to produce a quality YouTube video this way. Then work on making sure all these new clips piece together in an order which works for the viewer. Things like, tangents that don’t relate to the topic of the video, “ums, ahs” and anything which distracts from the narrative. If you or whoever presented was winging it, you need to keep an eye out for repetition in the edit.
You have to import the clip and then decide which pieces of the narrative to keep.
Your timeline will look something like this.įor none scripted videos you have your work cut out. If you did make a few mistakes, you can delete the takes that didn’t work if there are any, and line up the ones that did. PRO TIP: If you get yourself a teleprompter then you’ll find presenting a script from it makes production faster and editing faster too. It should all be in the right order, you won’t have to make sense of it in the edit after, thats the idea anyway. The benefit of scripting a video is all you have to do when editing is import the files into your computer. Vlogs are shot in different ways, scripted and none scripted.
Parts 1 & 2 – Making sense of it all and cutting repetition and waffle.
