    I'm just here to offer my one tip. If your video feels dull and boring and slow. Watch through it, but every time you feel like it's getting boring, pause the video. Add a cut there and delete the remainder of the clip. That space needs to be filled by a new shot. Keep doing this through your whole video and watch how much energy is added to your edit.

      Hi, thank you - great tip. I have one question (I am kinda new to the video editing scene) - Daniel Mentioned that sometimes videos really need just one or few frames to be adjusted but what if the footage was already edited to the beat of the music - is there a way to adjust the music to this "faster" video flow when you dont want to mess up your video?

    • @backtocooking
      @backtocooking Рік тому

      @@achiles522 I’m a beginner at this too, but I wouldn’t suggest speeding up the music, rather edit the speed of the video. If you edit the song, all the other shots fall out of sequence and you can affect pitch too. If you just take two frames and go at 98% speed, it still looks natural 😊

    I started watching your videos years ago before I could even afford a camera. I remember replaying your edits over and over again until I could finally break down how everything was coming together. After a summer in construction I spent my savings on a camera and started making videos and throwing them on instagram. As a long shot looking to make back my money I tried to slide into the dms of a local smoothie chain. Their media manager was super chill and loved my other content, so she agreed to let me shoot some short videos. Referrals from that longshot job have landed me to a full time job in media production. Not only do you set the bar for content awesomeness but you are also willing to share your advice/skills. Thank you brother for all your hard work and dedication to helping us grow with you

Good information Daniel, watching your videos is always a motivation to keep going.

    Hi Daniel, I've been following your videos for a long time and they give me meaning for what I want to do in life.
    As a beginner/intermediate, I have a video suggestion for you. In order to give a guideline to enthusiasts, it would be interesting to make a video on the essentials to have to start with, a small studio at home. Even if it means making a list in order of priority. :)
    I did some research, but we quickly fell into a rabbit hole with all the lights, diffusers, back drops and accessories such as sliders and filters.
