Although, Rory did a good job, his price for a ine minute video edit is just too high. I wouldn't even go with the first one, which to me seems very jarring. Travel videos are something you want to watch and enjoy at a slower pace
Rory's video was better because it gave me a chance to focus and absorb the subjects better. I'm not a big one for "flickering" type videos. They almost make me dizzy, LOL! I really enjoy your content. I know how hard it is to put your videos together!! Thank you!!
I liked the first edit and, although the swirly transitions are a bit naff, the colour co-ordination between the underside of the Arc and the autumn leaf worked really well, I thought. I was expecting much more from the second edit. Yes the music sounded more cinematic but was its mood appropriate for a travel-type video? Also, the fake night and storm effects just seemed out of place - like they put them in just because they could and not because they fitted the mood. In fact, the second edit couldn't seem to identify and settle on a mood for the sequence. The same with the fuzzy, glitchy effects and transitions - very clever and well executed, but what did they add to the narrative arc? The stabilization, colour grading and overall treatment of the video was far more professionally done than the first edit, but I much preferred Thinupa's effort overall, as his choice of clips and journey creation was way more engaging. Money well spent, I'd say.
Great feedback Tony, I really appreciate your thoughts on this 🙏 It’s always nice to hear other people’s opinions and get new perspectives on things like this. You’ve made some very valid points on both edits 💻👌
Completely agree with you! The music in the second edit seemed a bit out of the place and the video was shorter than I expected. Just like you, I didn't like the blue storm effects; too much saturation and out of place. The first video seemed a bit less professional but was a good job for $250 as compared to $700. Also, the first video was more engaging and kept the interest in the city, as a travel video should.
You pointed out my initial thoughts and a couple extra. For someone who's just about to try their first video this comparison was very helpful and showed that having a team and fancy things I've yet to learn about absolutely isn't necessary. Massive confidence boost in this comment and this video for me. I'm not an artistic type so I find spotting some of these things pretty difficult
This might be one of the smartest, appropriate and non-irritating integration of a sponsor I've ever seen. We learn loads from your techniques as usual, but showing off your partner we still get interesting outputs showing how much different the edits make. Great job!
Thank you! I really appreciate you saying this! I always aim to organically integrate the brands I work with, showcasing how I use them while minimizing interruptions to the audience viewing experience. Each video I create is approached from both the brand's and the audience's perspective. Your feedback motivates me to continue creating content. Thanks again! 🙏
I find your videos really inspiring@@LearnOnlineVideo . Though you focus on travel and I'm in the cooking niche, your ideas really challenge me to find more interesting shots and punchy choices.
I travel a lot and always create videos of my trips. I love capturing evocative B-roll and cinematic shots (as much as is possible with my travel itinerary), and my top goals in making each travel video is 1) to evoke a sense of place, i.e. what is unique to that location, and 2) to make the viewer feel what I experienced. In my opinion, both edits prioritized editing techniques, so that the videos are more about the editing itself than they are about Paris and experiencing it. Of the two edits, I prefer the second one, although I find the music ominous and wonder why a travel video would want to present Paris as being ominous. I think both edits would work well as opening sequences for an action film set in Paris, but don’t work as stand-alone travel videos. I’m sure some people will completely disagree with me, but I hope that my viewpoint will be courteously considered.
As a viewer, I was more captivated by the first option; it held my interest and made me curious to see what would come next. On the other hand, the second option didn't engage me as much, and my attention started to wander. Therefore, if your aim is to create an aesthetically pleasing video for seniors, then the second option might be the best choice. However, if your objective is to capture and maintain the audience's attention until the end, I would recommend going with the first option. These are just my observations from an outsider's perspective. Remember, sometimes 'better' doesn't always mean more effective.
True, I concur with you. I was more focused and wanted to see what clip was added next and the transition with the first video, also the music with the first video was good and engaging.
Could you please do your own edit of the Paris footage so we can see yours against the fiverr guys please? I preferred the second one. Thank you for all your advice you share with us.
More importantly than which video I thought was better is how much enjoyed your refreshing presentation. You didn’t waste a frame here, it was compelling up to the end so kudos for that. I think I preferred the second one. I am more drawn to the dramatic and it felt a little more cinematic to me. My only issue is that it seemed to lack a definite ending…just seemed like someone hit the stop button before the edit was over. Anyway, great video, subscribed.
I think I liked both of the edits, they both had different things that I liked and things that I didn't like. The one thing that I thought your video on UA-cam should have had was an edit of the footage by you. After all, you know the energy in the clips that you took. I think that makes a difference. The person taking the video knows the energy of the area, they know what they want to portray. They know what they want to focus on. Someone on the outside doesn't, to them, they're just clips.
This video was so cool.. really watched the 2nd half with a big smile on my face great concept and interesting to watch.. For me Rory’s was the better edit and video to watch you do often get what you pay for and this is a prime example of
Both videos were fast paced, almost hyper active, and both lacked a “sense of pacing”. They both looked like they were trying to to shove as many clips as possible into a limited amount of time. That isn’t story telling and I feel both were a waste of money. Slow it down. Selectively know which clips to throw out, that don’t contribute to evoking a meaningful “experience”. Story telling.
Well he wanted most of his 300 clips cramped inside a 1 minute video, what else did you expect? He was even disappointed when some of his fake drone shots were not included,
Man this video is much better than what they did it for u, u r recording very well and have a lot of experience in video making, thank you very much for sharing these information.
I was in Paris with my father over 30 years ago; I imagine a lot has changed during this time. I was amazed at how condense the city was from the top down view.
I liked the build up too the Eiffel tower in the second video The use off music, sounds effects and the right clips leading to a big reveal at the end tells a story without words 👍
Art Is not a subject to compare but to enjoy. Both edits are great, one is action, impacting transitions while the other one is more conservative and detailed. The money both costed is a personal value. I would have charge twice 😁😁😁
I guess both of them did a decent job. Every artist has his own style. I am not sure if you have specified overall vibe i.e. slow/fast ( your videos were a mix bag slow-motion, timelapse, car,trains etc.). I am worried about when AI editors will take over. For now , thank you for sharing a great video and beautiful glimpses of Paris! 😊
I love both editing but it is the first one that captures the emotion, it creates a story which viewers like to see and feel when watching travel videos. The progression of the music is superb. And for a cheaper price, that is worth the money.
Really fun concept - I learn best and get the most inspiration by seeing what others create - the capture footage and then edit combination UA-cam video is one I love
I actually liked the first edit better, but agree there was a little too many effects added. I didn't catch whether or not you gave any guidance or instructions !?! I thought you did a great job providing a lot of awesome footage, but editing wise, I could go without the over production in both versions. I learned a long time ago to give suggestions and preferences to artists before setting them loose. Great informative video 👍
I like better the first edit it has some sort of immersive movement and dynamic the second one is more of a soft and cinematic theme and more some sort of better quality but both were goood!
I actually like the first edit better. More movement and he did use more of your actual footage. I found the second edit a bit boring as he used the same type of clip over and over and nothing that dynamic. Thanks for sharing all this. Very interesting. I knew about Fiverr but never really looked into it. But now I will. 👍
Отличное видео,я знаю английский только по школьной программе,но ваше видео смотрю без перевода и мне всё понятно. Вот что значит есть цель-нет преград!Спасибо за отличное видео!
The first video had errors, but I found it to be far more engaging than the second video which bored me quickly! If the first guy polishes some things he would surely be a winner cause his style is dynamic and fun, for example the train sequence - loved it!
hello Learn, j'adore voir les mouvement que vous faite, elle me donne des idées !!!! pour ce qui est des 2 final , la 2 -ème est super bien faite, il faut avoué que ce n'est pas la même prestation et tarif. mais la 1er est quand même bien. on peut seulement l'encourager a faire mieux .. merci pour votre travail. encore une fois SUPER VIDEO thanks !!! cdlt Papy -jacques =)
Yes, Rory's edit was far superior, in that (as you said) the 'sound design,' which properly ascended toward the end, really enhanced the cinematic feel of the piece, whereas, the first creator, in my view, simply 'over-edited' the whole clip, which, unfortunately, cheapened your excellent camera work, resulting in a rather annoying overall result. Excellent video, mate, and the product placement was seamlessly perfect! Cheers from a fellow creator in San Diego, California!
This is a great video - thanks for your hard work. The first video feels very “UA-camy” and frankly frenetic. The second video was better but pace didn’t change much throughout. It’s great too see what your money can buy in the editing market for sure. Finally, after watching a few of your videos, I’m amazed to see what you are getting out of the native camera app on the iPhone. I’m starting to think it’s more than just good enough to make great little films. 👏🏻
Im a complete beginner who shot a film for my fb yesterday. I got a great response. This why im here. My opinion is that both did their best because 60 secs isn't much time with so much footage. Roy was better. Thankyou for helping us. I will using your methods because your interesting. Subscription added.
I simply love the trics and tips you give us on how to capture our footage... You give us good technics and ideas on how to acheive our goals. But about the edited footage I saw here... None of them pleased me for the amont of money it cost. I don't know... maybe it's just my style, but I was disapointed in both of them... Way too fast for me. Way too expensive for me (that's only a minute!) I'm glad I learn how to edit and make my own videos. (And I'm still learning... watching your vids dude! 😊 ) have a great one! 😁
I was impressed by the first edit for sure. Thinupa was able to squeeze many shots and was more exciting and dramatic in a 60-sec film. Yes the swirly bits can be ignored but again that is what today's most travel films are about. As for Rory, it was a bit yawns and with definitely lesser content in it. a more 70 ish straight forward.
Just me and because my life has been on the lower end all the time. Wages, spending etc. I would go with Thinupa. The twist was not great but seems to be used by a lot of people. You got more of your footage shown in his. Both were better than I could even dream of doing. I would like to see what they could do with a 2 minute video. There is a lot of footage left out. Both were good.
Thinupa's video looks like a skilled beginner gave everything he knew he could do to impress his customer, even though he sometimes did too much Rory's one looks like he knows his job perfectly with way more skills and feelings than Thinupa but clearly didn't gave everything he had
Excellent video. Did you specify editors who use Final Cut Pro X only, so you could tweak them afterwards? That would help you salvage a less-than-ideal edit yourself after they do the groundwork and maybe make the cheaper editor more of a value proposition?
I didn't actually think of this but it's great idea! For this experiment I wanted to see what each edit would look like completely untouched by myself. If this was a project that I wanted to re-edit though then choosing editors who work in Final cut would be crucial. Thanks
I like the second one because the color and transitions were better. It felt cinematic so he did execute what was promised. It felt like the start of a movie or short film. I also liked the first one because it gave me a feel for the people of Paris and the everyday life of ppl coming and going but I wouldn't say I liked the transitions. Personally, I'd go with the first guy based on the price, and if it includes revisions I'd ask him to brighten the color a bit and use more seamless transitions along with stabilizing the footage and boom.
Rory’s was a clear winner for the story telling as well, transitions, and sound. In the end depends on what this is going to be used for. If it’s for commercial purposes, I think I would go with Rory despite the price. If I was just doing this for UA-cam, for example,Thinupa would clearly be more economical and acceptable.
very interesting ! the second edit is better for sure , but, not two times better , you sent them so much footages , there are so much good shorts can be choose , the video could be longer and fuller
Rory's video was better. The first one was way too fast and it was hard to really enjoy each scene. Great tips !! Thanks for all the valuable information you share.
I definitely preferred the second one for the same reasons as you, Steve. Swirly transitions are a no-no for me in travel videos. What I'd like to see would be a similar edit challenge but with spoken storytelling added
I liked the idea of fake drone. Which stick did you use to hold the iphone and the gimbal? The extended sticks from insta360 don’t seem solid enough to carry such heavy set up.
Very interesting to see the results. I think on the first one you would have done a better job. One the second one it was interesting to see that much more hard cuts were used which worked better in my opinion.
Are you shooting with correct shutter speeds to the 180 degree rule of film making, when you use your phone? Only ask because I never see ND filters on your phone. cool vid
I've seen the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I watched two movies on Netflix: Rush Hour 3 and Mystery Murder 2. It was the best setting where the location was on set.
There first one had more content and seemed to tell more of a story. The second one was technically better but looked like an ad agency put it together. Both were good, but I vote number one for interest.
really interesting competition! I like the second one, it looks like a real cinematic video. The first one used too many effects and feel tired if you saw it the second time.
I am note sure the second footage worthes its price... I noticed a clean orbit shot around the statue before the editing, on your rushes. You also succeeded in maintaining the Arc de Triomphe perfectly centered in your fake drone shot. I would be curious to know how you do such clean shots : setting of your gimbal, setting of (native ?) camera app ? (my orbits are awfully shaking....)... That's when you try to imit the master that you understand what a newby you are ! Perhaps these are two subjects for future video ;o)
First one felt a little like an ad for paris but i liked a lot of the elements and it felt more like a story. The second one felt a bit disjointed and like an ad for the eiffel tower.
I think the 1st vid was solid, I kinda like the twist transition that was done, and the music was ok. The 2nd one def had better music and cinematic feel in rhythm with the track…but the 2nd vid was almost too fast paced…but some of those transitions were really high quality. Interesting comparison!
It looks like you made this a contest of who can put in the most snippets of your original footage and who is better in applying gimmicks. It is cut like an action movie and doesn't show me any feeling of the people (except of the little girl) visiting the city at all. The fast cuts don't leave any time to grasp the beauty of the city. Or it's me and I'm just to old and slow :D
Comparatively Rory's edit was much better simply because of much better choice of sound and intelligently strategized topic selections from the shots. Although as you mentioned there were such wonderful fake Drone shots you had taken and not being used (bit surprised). Hence the amount of money paid for the editing is much higher than the outcome, expected bit more since they had wonderful resources(clips) to work with.
What do you think of the final edits? Which one was best and was it worth the money? Let me know below 👇
Which mode do I use on my gimbal when I use extension rods for fake drone shot so that the gimbal motor doesn’t mess up while recording?
2 you are the best video maker in smartphone in the world
I learn so much with you
my English 😅is bad sorry for that❤❤❤
Although, Rory did a good job, his price for a ine minute video edit is just too high. I wouldn't even go with the first one, which to me seems very jarring. Travel videos are something you want to watch and enjoy at a slower pace
second is much better but the pricing is a bit higher
I love the second one very smooth and good transition
Rory's video was better because it gave me a chance to focus and absorb the subjects better. I'm not a big one for "flickering" type videos. They almost make me dizzy, LOL!
I really enjoy your content. I know how hard it is to put your videos together!! Thank you!!
I liked the first edit and, although the swirly transitions are a bit naff, the colour co-ordination between the underside of the Arc and the autumn leaf worked really well, I thought.
I was expecting much more from the second edit. Yes the music sounded more cinematic but was its mood appropriate for a travel-type video? Also, the fake night and storm effects just seemed out of place - like they put them in just because they could and not because they fitted the mood. In fact, the second edit couldn't seem to identify and settle on a mood for the sequence. The same with the fuzzy, glitchy effects and transitions - very clever and well executed, but what did they add to the narrative arc? The stabilization, colour grading and overall treatment of the video was far more professionally done than the first edit, but I much preferred Thinupa's effort overall, as his choice of clips and journey creation was way more engaging.
Money well spent, I'd say.
Great feedback Tony, I really appreciate your thoughts on this 🙏 It’s always nice to hear other people’s opinions and get new perspectives on things like this. You’ve made some very valid points on both edits 💻👌
💯
agree 100%
Completely agree with you! The music in the second edit seemed a bit out of the place and the video was shorter than I expected. Just like you, I didn't like the blue storm effects; too much saturation and out of place. The first video seemed a bit less professional but was a good job for $250 as compared to $700. Also, the first video was more engaging and kept the interest in the city, as a travel video should.
You pointed out my initial thoughts and a couple extra.
For someone who's just about to try their first video this comparison was very helpful and showed that having a team and fancy things I've yet to learn about absolutely isn't necessary.
Massive confidence boost in this comment and this video for me.
I'm not an artistic type so I find spotting some of these things pretty difficult
This might be one of the smartest, appropriate and non-irritating integration of a sponsor I've ever seen. We learn loads from your techniques as usual, but showing off your partner we still get interesting outputs showing how much different the edits make. Great job!

I comletely agree with your viewpoint! You found a very right word for the music: "ominous". Paris is not ominous at all.
No, I completely agree with you. Neither edit. It told the story.
Absolutely agree with your point. By the way, what type of video is appropriate instead of ominous for a travel video?
As a viewer, I was more captivated by the first option; it held my interest and made me curious to see what would come next. On the other hand, the second option didn't engage me as much, and my attention started to wander.

Could you please do your own edit of the Paris footage so we can see yours against the fiverr guys please? I preferred the second one. Thank you for all your advice you share with us.
I agree with you. Try doing it yourself and compare.
The same idea. It would be great to see Steve's version!
Yes! I would like to see Steve’s version, which I suspect will be very different because he was actually there experiencing Paris.
Both are too quick for my eyes😂 I like things a bit slower, so I have time to focus my eyes. Less is more🙂
Like to see you do one as well
Agreed!!!
both of them did a really good job. Video editor is amazing, that was a lot of works
More importantly than which video I thought was better is how much enjoyed your refreshing presentation. You didn’t waste a frame here, it was compelling up to the end so kudos for that.

I’m so amazed that that insta360 selfie stick did not snap with the gimbal. Lol Great stuff. Rory killed it!

I guess both of them did a decent job. Every artist has his own style. I am not sure if you have specified overall vibe i.e. slow/fast ( your videos were a mix bag slow-motion, timelapse, car,trains etc.).
I am worried about when AI editors will take over.
For now , thank you for sharing a great video and beautiful glimpses of Paris! 😊
Editor number 2 on point 🎉
I think that the editing of this you tube video was the BEST! Stayed to the end and that’s what makes it the best.
I always enjoy your tutorials for us newbies and amateurs.
Wow! It looked so proffessional
Outstanding!! This is great Steve!
I love both editing but it is the first one that captures the emotion, it creates a story which viewers like to see and feel when watching travel videos. The progression of the music is superb. And for a cheaper price, that is worth the money.
I absolutely agree with you… the Best Value for Money, what the first One!
That was incredible 😍
The shots in this video are amazing! ☺
Thank you for this video. You are the best teacher!
Really fun concept - I learn best and get the most inspiration by seeing what others create - the capture footage and then edit combination UA-cam video is one I love

Ya I didn’t mind them both and I would say worth it
Verry interesting - THX - i like Bothe but if i should take one - i would take the first editor

Rory´s edit looks like a video we should use as an advertisment video in order to invite friendly aliens to visit earth! Marvelous 100% TOP😎
I’m very new to this, but I am fascinated by this channel!
Welcome Lisa 😉🎥👌
Cinematic videos, B Rolls. It's all about preference mostly. I say both are good in their own ways.
This is a great video - thanks for your hard work. The first video feels very “UA-camy” and frankly frenetic. The second video was better but pace didn’t change much throughout. It’s great too see what your money can buy in the editing market for sure.

You just surpassed Jared Polin in subscribers! Congrats on the incredible growth and thanks for the great content!
Wicked video! 🤘🏼
Very use full video ❤ Thankyou brother ❤
Rory Was Classy and elegant. the other felt "off the shelf"
I live in a well filmed tourist area. Your drone shots are really a brilliant differentiator. So a 3m selfie stick...
I think the first video was better, but I understand the cinematic editing video was what they were looking for
I like the second one because the color and transitions were better. It felt cinematic so he did execute what was promised. It felt like the start of a movie or short film. I also liked the first one because it gave me a feel for the people of Paris and the everyday life of ppl coming and going but I wouldn't say I liked the transitions. Personally, I'd go with the first guy based on the price, and if it includes revisions I'd ask him to brighten the color a bit and use more seamless transitions along with stabilizing the footage and boom.
Rory’s was a clear winner for the story telling as well, transitions, and sound. In the end depends on what this is going to be used for. If it’s for commercial purposes, I think I would go with Rory despite the price. If I was just doing this for UA-cam, for example,Thinupa would clearly be more economical and acceptable.
very interesting ! the second edit is better for sure , but, not two times better , you sent them so much footages , there are so much good shorts can be choose , the video could be longer and fuller
Absolutely love this channel!
The second editor, he did a good video editing n music also good
Rory's video was better. The first one was way too fast and it was hard to really enjoy each scene. Great tips !! Thanks for all the valuable information you share.
Lobe the Gimbal holder....when will im gonna have you? GIMBALLLLL❤
I definitely preferred the second one for the same reasons as you, Steve. Swirly transitions are a no-no for me in travel videos.
What I'd like to see would be a similar edit challenge but with spoken storytelling added
I definitely agree. Rory’s editing was 10 times better, but the saying goes you get what you pay for.
I liked the idea of fake drone. Which stick did you use to hold the iphone and the gimbal? The extended sticks from insta360 don’t seem solid enough to carry such heavy set up.
That's nice,,,
Take love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Very interesting to see the results. I think on the first one you would have done a better job. One the second one it was interesting to see that much more hard cuts were used which worked better in my opinion.
1st edit as was way more original and used all your footage types. Liked the train sounds also. Made it feel more realistic
Are you shooting with correct shutter speeds to the 180 degree rule of film making, when you use your phone? Only ask because I never see ND filters on your phone. cool vid
Thats a good point< hope Steve replys
I've seen the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I watched two movies on Netflix: Rush Hour 3 and Mystery Murder 2. It was the best setting where the location was on set.
There first one had more content and seemed to tell more of a story. The second one was technically better but looked like an ad agency put it together. Both were good, but I vote number one for interest.
Very informative and useful information
Very first clip was better than the $700 clip for sure hands down
You are the best film maker ever❤❤❤
Both are worth
really interesting competition! I like the second one, it looks like a real cinematic video. The first one used too many effects and feel tired if you saw it the second time.
I am note sure the second footage worthes its price...
I noticed a clean orbit shot around the statue before the editing, on your rushes.
You also succeeded in maintaining the Arc de Triomphe perfectly centered in your fake drone shot.
I would be curious to know how you do such clean shots : setting of your gimbal, setting of (native ?) camera app ? (my orbits are awfully shaking....)...
That's when you try to imit the master that you understand what a newby you are !
Perhaps these are two subjects for future video ;o)
First one felt a little like an ad for paris but i liked a lot of the elements and it felt more like a story. The second one felt a bit disjointed and like an ad for the eiffel tower.
Very helpfully video for new creater
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Which settings did you use and was most of the footage from the native camera app?
I think the 1st vid was solid, I kinda like the twist transition that was done, and the music was ok. The 2nd one def had better music and cinematic feel in rhythm with the track…but the 2nd vid was almost too fast paced…but some of those transitions were really high quality. Interesting comparison!
It looks like you made this a contest of who can put in the most snippets of your original footage and who is better in applying gimmicks. It is cut like an action movie and doesn't show me any feeling of the people (except of the little girl) visiting the city at all. The fast cuts don't leave any time to grasp the beauty of the city. Or it's me and I'm just to old and slow :D
much more emotion on the 2nd one -likely the music. I did like the first one too though
Bonjour, merci pour cette vidéo pour les prises de vues et ensuite les montages . J’aurais une préférence sur le deuxième montage
I will go for the First Edit though i did not like the shaking footage but
the edit was on point.
I agree, number 1 was jittery, number 2 was the better edit.
拍摄的非常棒,剪辑也好,很希望你能出多些手机拍摄教程。
Comparatively Rory's edit was much better simply because of much better choice of sound and intelligently strategized topic selections from the shots. Although as you mentioned there were such wonderful fake Drone shots you had taken and not being used (bit surprised). Hence the amount of money paid for the editing is much higher than the outcome, expected bit more since they had wonderful resources(clips) to work with.
Great video
great work tips were very effective
