Film editing is a language that started with the simple cut over a century ago. Since then, film and video editing techniques have turned that language into poetry. In this episode of The Shot List, we’re looking at the major film editing and video editing techniques that can be used when editing a scene. These techniques include eyeline match, cross cutting, eye trace, split edits, intellectual montage, and cut on action. We’ll explain how to edit video using these techniques and what they bring to the storytelling process.
First up is the eyeline match - where a character’s eyes guide the edit. If we see a character notice something off-screen, our immediate response is “What are they looking at?” Most of the time, the editor complies and cuts to match the character’s eyeline (not only what they see but from their literal or general perspective).
In film editing, cross cutting (or intercutting) is essentially weaving two or more scenes into one. The classic example of cross cutting is the baptism scene in The Godfather as we watch Michael become “The Godfather” twice over - to his sister’s child and to the Corleone family as we watch his men assassinate his rivals.
One bit of film theory from legendary editor Walter Murch is called eye trace. To help the viewer along, eye trace suggests to cut between shots when the area of focus is in the same spot. That way, the viewer can stay focused on the moment, especially when rapidly cutting through action scenes.
A hard cut is when both the sound and image are switch simultaneously to the next shot. But a split edit allows for the sound or image to switch before the other. These are known as either the J cut or the L cut - based on the way they look in a film editing timeline. These techniques are useful in dialogue scenes to help pace out the conversation and allow for reaction shots.
Intellectual montage is a fascinating bit of editing theory that suggests that when presented with two images back-to-back, the viewer will search for a connection between them. When deployed strategically, filmmakers can create meaning through juxtaposition that wouldn’t otherwise be there.
And, finally, much of movie editing is built around the cut on action - when a cut is made within a character or object’s movement in the frame. Rather than creating a chaotic onslaught of fragmented punches and kicks, the cut on action creates a more seamless flow.
These are the essential film editing and video editing techniques that editors use all the time. And as soon as you master these video editing tips and tricks, you’ll be able to speak that language fluently.

Don't use Heat, for the love of god. It was shot so poorly most thought Mann wasn't even able to get Pacino and De Niro in the same room at the same time.

Shot List making a comeback...honestly one of the best series on StudioBinder if not UA-cam.
We love that you guys love it
Couldn’t agree more
Studio Binder is what I look forward to every Monday
Couldn't agree more! I have learned more from this channel than college. Very well made videos!
Well said, absolutely epic. Opens the mind to see the film stitched together. 🤯
The art of giving the audience information subconsciously instead of directly enables the audience to really connect to the story and characters.
It is truly something.
Honestly
That is the emotional connection 👌
What does that mean directly enable?
@@sreenus9002Giving the audience information subconsciously instead of directly giving them information enables the audience.

Just wanted to Thank You for making such good quality informative content.

That's what we're here for!

Hey I’d love to hear your thoughts on this tip I learned on editing that definitely changed my outlook on the edit: ua-cam.com/video/ale_Mj7gieM/v-deo.html
Editing is such a painstaking thing to do... But when you see the final result and it is what you pictured... It sure is worth it
Very rewarding 👌
OMG, every time I watch these videos, I want to get my camera out and shoot some scenes! I love using the j and l cuts in dialogue, they have made those scenes ridiculously smoother!
Happy filming!
Watching your videos is like literally visiting Arts school!
My love for film and creating is being fuelled by your videos. So interesting to see the process and perspective. Love your videos so well-planned and well-thought of. Thanks for the knowledge and passion. I hope someday I can create a relatable and inspiring film.
Happy filming!
Wow! Studiobinder, your content quality and depth never drops, It just keeps getting better and so does my knowledge. Thank you for always making such videos.
Happy to help!
Amazing! A True Masterclass on the Creative Process of a Movie Editing. Thousand Thanks.
Happy to help!
The voiceover on these videos is amazing
We got a great guy with us :)
And a very good script@@StudioBinder
HUGE thank you to you, studiobinder! I go to an arts school and in it I am taking a film class, but I don’t understand what my teacher is trying to teach us so I thought I would just learn on my own and it was really hard until I found your videos! I’ve seen so many already, and it’s made a huge difference. An upcoming project is writing, casting, filming and editing our own movies all on our own and I think I am going to crush it 💪
This series is pure gold!
Glad you liked it!
That tip from mad max is so simple yet more action filmmakers really need to learn it
Incredibly useful tip
I’m absolutely loving this channel! Thank you so much!
I was just thinking that it’d be sick to see an explanation of what a lack of editing or the ‘reverse’ of these techniques can bring (if they exist). For example, I’m pretty sure in some of Jackie Chan’s work reducing or even removing cuts adds to the fluidity of his fight scenes and emphasises how realistic they are.
In the video "Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy" by Every Frame a Painting, it points out that Hollywood editors tend to ruin the rhythm of fight scenes by cutting on every hit, which is identified as a common technique at 17:04 of this episode.
Hey I’d love to hear your thoughts on this tip I learned on editing that definitely changed my outlook on the edit: ua-cam.com/video/ale_Mj7gieM/v-deo.html
The other day I was learning about digital vs film. I would love if this would be next shotlist video.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Perfect timing, this is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!
Hope it helps!
The j and L split is a awesome technique to learn thank you for this!
They're the fundamentals!
That’s like one of the first things you learn in film school lol
Mind blowing to how this information is free!
Always will be!
17:04 An interesting contrast to that is in Every Frame a Painting's video "Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy", which points out that Hollywood editors tend to ruin a fight scene's rhythm by cutting on every hit.
Right. Cuts on every hit are for when the actors aren't really good. Contrast the Matrix scenes with Crouching Tiger, The Protector, or The Raid. The latter films are far more impressive because of the longer takes, showing greater skill... :)
I think the difference is overdoing the cuts rather than one being objectively a better technique to capture fight scenes than the other.
@@nationalhamleague5352 Thus, "every hit".
I cant get over how well made these videos are. Incredible, thank you so much!
Between your Artworks in StudioBinder , this part was useful and handy the most... Thanks and God bless you guys
Glad you liked it!
One of the best channels out here at UA-cam. Thank you so much for sharing.
Suddenly Monday became exciting
Making your Mondays better!
Absolutely love this explanation of Eye Trace at 8:35. Thanks so much for the expertise and well-chosen examples. You always manage to go a few steps past the obvious, which is what I think we're all responding to here.
So glad you’ve brought this narrator back!
Fantastic video! Great work demonstrating the cuts and providing a view of the timeline to see how it's actually done.
I like the cuts created in filming the intro section about creative uses of cuts here. Good examples, perfect beats and clean, delicious cuts. Nice!
I love how you guys now use recent films for explanation!
Felt like it would be a good touch! Will still include the classics ;)
I'm sorry, All I think about 'Don't Look Up' is that they used STOCK FOOTAGE...it feels like cheating even though it totally isn't.
Why would it be cheating? they don't have to film footage of animals and remote tribes if there is no need
haha it is weird to think about it, but that makes it okay for indie filmmakers to do it too
Didn’t Citizen Kane use stock footage in its opening montage?
The SHOT LIST! YES!
We're back!
my favorite youtube channel ever, the amount of effort in this content to make it simple to understand is amazing
Absolutely! It’s a clear, concise and free guide to how movies are made, or really any video
The best film school on youtube.
Class in session!
I love how I watched most of the movies that had mentioned, feels great and rewarding while learning the techniques
Editing really is the hardest and funnest part of film, always rewatch and judge your work before finalizing!
Well said!
I'm grateful for the hard work you put in to make this quality informative content.
Incredibly informative! I love this channel.
The pop montage used in Requiem For A Dream and the L and J cuts during dialogues in Spotlight had an excellent impact on the viewer.
Great cuts 💯
so many great tips and tricks in this video! So much value provided in 18 mins
You guys are sick, amazing!!
That was amazing. I learned so much. Just popping in to give you a big thanks for all the work you put into that.

Finally learned what that cut has a name - J cut. X-Files heavily used that.
It's a useful one for sure
Very nice video! Thank you
This channel has been a big help for learning filmmaking, it help me make my own short film! Love the the content and channel willing to keep learning something new
Great job making it!

Glad you liked it!
So good, as always. Thank you!
Hot diggity this is quickly becoming my favorite channel!
Welcome!
Thank you for expanding my knowledge more, This channel's always helpful
I like the editing techniques used in “too many cooks”
Amazing and informative series please keep these up ❤️
respect to the editor of this video and that cut on action example
Nice video to understand the editing technique. Many thanks for this. really appreciated it
Jackie Chan had a brilliant technique on cutting on action. Unlike Hollywood where the edits are made such that one shot of action of making an impact transitions to the other where impact has already been made, what Jackie Chan instead did was to insert the second shot with few frames just before the impact is made. So in JC's style, we see a shot of someone hitting, cut at the impact, then next shot (closer to camera) of just before the impact. At normal speed (24fps), this transition registers as a much better continuity of action with better impact.
You watched that video too 😂
So is it technically the viewer witnessing double impact, but it happens so fast the it feels like a more powerful single one?
17:08 hearing this i remember jackie chans interview... "they cut directly on impact, no punching shown, best is to keep a stable wide shot." i would like to hear more on this
This is so useful. Thanks Studio Binder!
Hope it helps!
Loved this video! Thankyou❤
Marvellous Masterclass !!!
You will be personally responsible for a new generation of filmmakers and videographers thank you so much for making me a better director
Fantastic as always
Amazing...thanks
Wow, thank you. Well explained.
One of the best editing sequences in film is from Sexy Beast when Don Logan outlines the job for Gal. Chefs kiss!
I just saw this channel in my recommendations and I subscribed before the intro ends.
Just wanted to thank you for so many information about Cinema.
Fantastic video Studiobinder!!🤩🎥
Next, maybe not on this series, you should do a video about "Film Themes"- philosophical, high-concept themes, low-concept, commercial, easy to absorb themes, and all that exists in between. It is such a fascinating and important subject to explore for filmmakers... and often, I feel it's way too underrated.
Film themes... not bad!
@@StudioBinder probably, a difficult topic to make a video about, but very interesting. Themes can be interpreted in so many ways but argueably most movies have some sortof theme
God bless you studiobinder❤
Awesome!!
I'm speechless, that was amazing 🌸🌸🌸
this was excellent
I love movies📽🎬🎞🎥I happened to stumble upon this video because I typed in film editing. I love the simplicity and clarity of this video. Thank you, now I'm a new subscriber to @StudioBinder.
Man, I love these videos.
awesome content...as always!
This is so great. Thanks for always sharing great information
Cheers!
Always inspiring ♥️, thank you Studio Binder
Thanks for watching!
Idk,all the youtuber out there, very badly , desperately looking for this Video!!!
They just being amazed watching other UA-camrs," why I cant make videos like this!"
If they get this video ,
they'll failed surely finding words , give a thanks to you guys.
Fantastic as always. However, I would of loved a dissection of the Dojo fight scene compared to the original, and how that was perhaps to the first (particularily in western cinema) to have managed to convey energy and speed without being arguably overedited like in Resurrections.
A comparison video? Not a bad idea!
I am learning a lot of great ideas and information about filming
Cool! Thanks!
Amazing. I’ll be sure to credit StudioBinder in the near future.
For the first time, I wanna thanks UA-cam's algorithm for put this video in the recommendation
Amazing... ❤❤❤❤
match cut is another - thanks for the content!
Great video bro...
