I don't layer my audio, but I have been splitting and deleting clips for a long time to take out my mistakes and pauses. I used to take out so much, though, that I cut off the ends of my words and even whole syllables sometimes so it made my videos very hard to follow, so I've had to learn to cut less. Speaking of making videos, I've found that I feel much more comfortable if I sit down to make one, not thinking "I'm making a video", but thinking "I'm sharing a tip with someone" or "I'm sharing information with someone". In short, I've learned to think about why I'm making the video instead of the fact that I'm making a video.
I enjoyed this. I have done a small amount of video editing in the past. These days I am currently shopping for a refurb Mac book and other affordable pro audio and video gear . Do you have any advise, videos or links about this for building a small home studio?
I think it can work but not too much. In a podcast you ONLY have audio to set the tone for the way you want people to hear. So every step you take with the audio matters for that reason.
Love these 'How To' production vids, Amy. Great work. Also, we got a LOT of value from your book. Nice balance of impartial and subjective insights. Huge congrats! Keep up the outstanding work!! 🙌
Hi Amy, thanks for your great videos! Im a new vlogger and looking for a begging but good video editing software. I know this video is a couple years old so wondering if you still recommend Final Cut Pro or if you had an opinion on Adobe Premiere Rush...? Thank you!
Nicely done Amy! The cuts don't line up sometimes because FCPX allows you to cut audio in subframes all the way down to 1/80th of an individual frame, but only between individual frames of video (the audio precision is there for precisely mixing, looping beats of a song, etc). If you cut the video first, the audio cut can snap to that video intra-frame cut above it :)
Awesome! I'm going to be incorporating this right away. Actually not sure why I didn't think of this already. I also just started posting a video every business day (on Aug 16th) without realizing it was VEDA month.
Hi Amy, I am teaching myself how to shoot and edit videos. Did you record the video all in one take or did you did record each clip separately? I am using Filmora 9. I feel it is a bit limiting but it is all I have to work with at the moment. Thanks, Callum.
Oh my goodness! This has completely changed what I'm going to be doing in my editing! I've been trying to figure out how to speed things up in my jumpcuts for ages!
Hey Amy, wonderful tips on jump cuts! I had no idea you can over lay the video like that to speed up over one cut to an other! I need to get better with boring and keeping my viewers watching my DIYs Thanks for this! OMG girl your doing too much! have a good wedding!!!
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing. I use Final Cut Pro as well for all my videos and actually took your advice from a while back on jump cutting. It most definitely creates a better dialogue and connection between the viewer and you. Thanks for sharing as always.
Thanks for sharing Amy! Last week I shared my first jump cut video based on your book. Didn't realize you also do the audio separately--I will have to keep that in mind. In my video I was so excited to share it and I made sure to give you props. Thanks for all the tips and advice, love it! I noticed you have a few FCPX plugins, what are your favorites and what do you use them for?
Before you even pick up the camera to record...How much do you plan before filming? Do you work on a Script with Subject focus and how do you go about brain storming? Interested to know that from you. Thanks
I am definitely going to play with it. Now thanks for another amazing video, you are truly a master of your craft and I cant wait till we come together and make a video or something
I used to do this in premiere. If you check out the link to Vlog Boss University for a course I made called Sexy Video Editing, you can see how I did it before. But I don't know if the hot keys are different from that time. That was 3 years ago.
I've been waiting for this video! This makes it flow so well I honestly had no idea about this tip (I just started using Final Cut too, yay 🙌). Can't wait to try this next time I edit 😊❤️
Yes. Used to use it. I don't need that spaceship. It's too much to work with when I only need basics (although still at pro level.) I think FCP is way faster for vloggers.
Amy Schmittauer Awesome!!.. I was thinking of moving to FCP for the same exact reason. Good to know.. I picked up a MacBook just cause it's way easier to dump iPhone footy. Thank you!! I might go with that instead!
Damn Amy! - this was super duper helpful as someone just starting - thank you for making different specific content that is so important, but is rarely put out there - these nuances ARE the difference!! Thank you 100 times over!! Viki Lareau
Fantastic! I use jump cuts a lot, as I am far from a fluent speaker, so it is pretty much a necessity for me. Already I improved it after a video from Video Creators, but you know provide the finishing touch! I never let the audio overlap, but know I tried it and I love the result! My thursday video will be my smoothest video to date! So thanks for this very helpful video, +Amy Schmittauer !
especially after seeing your fast paced videos, I have sped up a little but when trying to teach a complex subject like science, it's hard to know if theyre actually digesting all the info
Overlapping!!! That's what I was missing. I mean, I've seen a lot of videos on the subject and most of them just give you direction on what to cut. But a lot of times I see that might transitions weren't smooth as what I see on other channels! Thaaaanks, that was really helpful!
Yay! This was a video I've been looking for but haven't really found! Awesome Amy thanks so much 🥂☀️ Can't wait to get my mac fixed so I can get off editing on my iPhone and start learning jump cuts ✂️🔛💪🏼💦
Thank you so much for the jump cut demo! I've always wanted to learn how to do this and there's not much good demo's out there. I can't wait to test it out and see if I can do a semblance of it in iMovie. Wish me luck!! Man, I can't wait to get my hands on Final Cut Pro!! But in the MEANtime Momma's gonna continue to hack my iMovie! 😉
Hi Amy, thanks for these tips. I noticed you uploaded this last night. Is there a specific time you upload your videos? Do you use the Tubebuddy suggested upload time? Thanks! Jim
Wow I've been editing videos for decades and never though to layer audio over a jump cut like that. Do it all the time in fictional films, thanks for pointing that out!
On Android, I'm using CyberLink PowerDirector. You might try Adobe Premiere Clip, which may only be suitable for social media-level clips, but does connect to the Adobe Creative Cloud for more robust software.
Honestly this seems soooooo complicated! I hope maybe I can work up to this one day, but I feel like I'm a big picture person and not a detail person! Hmmmm, maybe I will pay someone to edit for me one day lol
I love jump cutting up my videos, I also adjust my microphone level to -10db so i can skip all of the parts of me breathing, because my microphone picks up every little thing.
Thanks Amy! After #SSSVEDA in 4 days I will be editing my videos with these jump cuts even more so that I'm not droning on and on. (Boooooring!) Congrats on your awesome wedding! Enjoy and take time for YOU and your soon to be hubby! You deserve it! 😁💫⚡️✨
1:54 I couldn't help but notice that your dock is not completely visible. Not that it's important here. Speaking of cuts, you cut yourself off at the end. Don't get me wrong here! I love what you do! I'm just saying...
I just call it "editing" ;) I use Pinnacle Studio. I do it for the "uhmms", and my lovely coughing fits ;-p, and things I say at the end of sentences i.e. mini-catch phrases etc ;) Still need to learn to make pregnant pauses though. Thought if I just talk like Christopher Walken, that would work too xD
Hej,...it is February 11 2022.....My invitation to the wedding just got here. I feel horrible. ahh, but it's probably better that I didn't go. I'm one of those that cries at weddings and then takes extra pieces of cake. Yeah,...I'm not a very good guest. I take great photos though! tHanks for the video!
I"m sure you realise you could put 6 ads in this video yet I only see a single preroll. What is your reasoning for that. Everyone is accepting of a preroll do you feel mid roll and end roll is too obnoxious or viewers are not yet normalised to seeing so many ads?
Amy, as a time optimization junkie, I can automate the removal of dead air with jump cuts, and even compress silence. Start a trial, run on your host computer, could save your countless hours of edit time a week. www.timebolt.io
Woot! Long time coming! Who's going to try jump cut editing now?
I don't layer my audio, but I have been splitting and deleting clips for a long time to take out my mistakes and pauses. I used to take out so much, though, that I cut off the ends of my words and even whole syllables sometimes so it made my videos very hard to follow, so I've had to learn to cut less.

In short, I've learned to think about why I'm making the video instead of the fact that I'm making a video.
I tend to split and delete clips as well. However, sometimes I cut stuff out by accident.
This video was amazingly helpful. I'm so excited to try jump cut editing in some videos now!!
Jump cutting will help you not cut those words out completely! You should try the method to smooth it out.
use jump cut method to smooth it out. Don't cut off your words!
Amy is the queen of the jump cut! More editing videos, please!
Did not know what is was called, noticed it and loved it so so glad you examined it now
I enjoyed this. I have done a small amount of video editing in the past. These days I am currently shopping for a refurb Mac book and other affordable pro audio and video gear . Do you have any advise, videos or links about this for building a small home studio?
I always wondered how you created the pace. Thank you! Would it be appropriate to use a similar strategy for an audio only podcast?
I think it can work but not too much. In a podcast you ONLY have audio to set the tone for the way you want people to hear. So every step you take with the audio matters for that reason.
Amy Schmittauer thank you!!
Love these 'How To' production vids, Amy. Great work. Also, we got a LOT of value from your book. Nice balance of impartial and subjective insights. Huge congrats! Keep up the outstanding work!! 🙌
Happy to help Ben! I'm glad you're enjoying this format of video!
Amy Im so happy for you guys! Congratulations!!!! and welcome to the club :)
instablaster...
Oh my gosh. That was SO helpful! I already cut out most pauses and umms but the layering is taking it to an even better place. Thanks!
"They are getting bored with their EARS not eyes." Put this video in your Top 10 bc it is friken awesome!
It can be so tough to explain in terms of why this matters, but I think that line pretty much does it! LOL
I know you love irony.
Relevant content even 5 years later. Learning with this video
Thank you!!
Hi Amy, thanks for your great videos! Im a new vlogger and looking for a begging but good video editing software. I know this video is a couple years old so wondering if you still recommend Final Cut Pro or if you had an opinion on Adobe Premiere Rush...? Thank you!
That was great help!! I use Final Cut too and I use the "flow" transition a lot but I never thought of overlapping the audio. Thank you!
WOW! This was soooooo helpful! Very cool tip!! Thank you, Amy!!!

Great tip about overlapping audio!!
I've been doing a lot more jump cuts lately and I'm definitely going to try this.
Thank you! It's literally my favorite thing. Overlapping audio saves SO many missteps.
Awesome! I'm going to be incorporating this right away. Actually not sure why I didn't think of this already. I also just started posting a video every business day (on Aug 16th) without realizing it was VEDA month.

Appreciate your simple step by step process in jump cutting a video. Very helpful indeed.
You’re welcome!
Awesome video. Thanks. I've tried jump cutting before and my video was a little too choppy. This will help out a lot.
Yes the audio will smooth it out, but you still need to be careful with how much cutting you do.
Thanks Amy really appreciate it 👍🏻
Great video Amy!!!! I didn't know this trick, so it was a huge eye opener!
Yay! Glad to help!
I love these tips! I think I'm ready for this!
Yay! Try it! It actually makes it a bit more fun to edit :)
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing. I use Final Cut Pro as well for all my videos and actually took your advice from a while back on jump cutting. It most definitely creates a better dialogue and connection between the viewer and you.
Thanks for sharing as always.
ooh! Can we do this on iMove too??
Amy!! The title of the video, the uniqueness of the thumbnail and video, and the book shelf got my attention!!! Keep up the amazing work!
Aw thank you! That means a lot to me.
=]
Mind blow, love this and will try it out! Thank you!
Thank you, Amy! I will try out jump cuts. I have just the video for it. Happy wedding! Ciao, bella!😎
Yay! Thank you!
Amy here's to a great day in your life! Thx for the video...I'll give it a shot.. XO
Awesome tip, great video. Thanks!

Thanks for the awesome video Amy. Love the great tips. I have been looking to make jump cuts in my videos.
Thank for for this. Very helpful.
Ah layering the audio! Makes so much sense! Thanks again for the great tips!
I am definitely going to play with it. Now thanks for another amazing video, you are truly a master of your craft and I cant wait till we come together and make a video or something
Always helpful for those of us working to improve our editing! Thanks Amy! 😎
Yay! Thank you Meg!
Thanks for doing this! Will play with it on iMovie. Great info! 👍
Now to figure out how to make it this easy in premiere.
I used to do this in premiere. If you check out the link to Vlog Boss University for a course I made called Sexy Video Editing, you can see how I did it before. But I don't know if the hot keys are different from that time. That was 3 years ago.
I've been waiting for this video! This makes it flow so well I honestly had no idea about this tip (I just started using Final Cut too, yay 🙌). Can't wait to try this next time I edit 😊❤️
Yay!!!! I hope it works for you!
This is awesome! Thank you, Amy!
Did you stop using Premier? I just got it, tho a lot of my friends have been telling me to go to FCPx.
-Lucky
Yes. Used to use it. I don't need that spaceship. It's too much to work with when I only need basics (although still at pro level.) I think FCP is way faster for vloggers.
Amy Schmittauer Awesome!!.. I was thinking of moving to FCP for the same exact reason. Good to know.. I picked up a MacBook just cause it's way easier to dump iPhone footy. Thank you!! I might go with that instead!
the 5:30 mark just changed my life. I adore you Amy
Aww you're the best!!
Thank you so much for posting this! I Have been struggling with doing jump cuts for a while. I will definitely give this a try.
When I worked in television news, jump cuts were a big no-no. Not any more... at least here on YT. Excellent "how to," as always.
I would love to see more videos on final cut!
Damn Amy! - this was super duper helpful as someone just starting - thank you for making different specific content that is so important, but is rarely put out there - these nuances ARE the difference!! Thank you 100 times over!! Viki Lareau
Awesome tips, thanks Amy!
You're welcome Jed!
Thank you for helping!! 😃💝
You're so welcome!
Thanks for the Tip!
Thanks for the lesson. Getting close to getting hitched!
I know right?!
I was wondering why you don't sync your audio together?
Fantastic! I use jump cuts a lot, as I am far from a fluent speaker, so it is pretty much a necessity for me. Already I improved it after a video from Video Creators, but you know provide the finishing touch! I never let the audio overlap, but know I tried it and I love the result! My thursday video will be my smoothest video to date! So thanks for this very helpful video, +Amy Schmittauer !

Big big bigggggg piece of jump cutting. Glad you know what to do now!!
Yay! This was a video I've been looking for but haven't really found! Awesome Amy thanks so much 🥂☀️ Can't wait to get my mac fixed so I can get off editing on my iPhone and start learning jump cuts ✂️🔛💪🏼💦
I know! Everyone seems to be hiding it! Let me know how it goes!
Is there any Android app allowing similar jump cut technique?
Great info, as always! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the jump cut demo! I've always wanted to learn how to do this and there's not much good demo's out there. I can't wait to test it out and see if I can do a semblance of it in iMovie. Wish me luck!! Man, I can't wait to get my hands on Final Cut Pro!! But in the MEANtime Momma's gonna continue to hack my iMovie! 😉
Good luck! Let me know how it goes in iMovie!
Amy Schmittauer Will do!! 😀
You communicate so clearly!!! I just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you for doing what you do!
Oh wow! Great info! Very cool! You're the cutest editor I've seen! Save us some cake!
LOL I will be eating all the cake with this cute face
Nice Editing...
Hi Amy, thanks for these tips. I noticed you uploaded this last night. Is there a specific time you upload your videos? Do you use the Tubebuddy suggested upload time? Thanks! Jim
Wow I've been editing videos for decades and never though to layer audio over a jump cut like that. Do it all the time in fictional films, thanks for pointing that out!
Hi Amy! Thanks for your help
in video making and editing videos!
I use your videos for a lot of help in
my business!
Thanks!
~~~Nancy
This is so usefull! Thank you🙏🐞☀️
This was really helpful! I can't wait to try this on one of my next videos!
Amy, thank you for the great tips!! Will be trying this out on my next video! Have a wonderful wedding day!!
OMG Amy.... *.* I-am-amaaaaaaazed! *.*
How much time before your big day now? Hopefully they'll be lots of video footage made of that, even if all of it ends up private.
7 days!!
That's IF you survive your bachelorette party! :-D :-D Enjoy your last days of freedom as a single. Tick tick tick.
It's cool to see the old Amy style.
thanks for the vide. was really helpfull
Great tips! I'm loving #SSSVEDA! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the challenge!
Jumping for joy over this video. - Christina
Don't you think people needed to know this? Bad audio alllll over the place. LOL
I don't have a desktop or a laptop.What should I use for Android tablet.?
No idea.
On Android, I'm using CyberLink PowerDirector. You might try Adobe Premiere Clip, which may only be suitable for social media-level clips, but does connect to the Adobe Creative Cloud for more robust software.
memathews oh ,thanks dude I didn't know that PowerPoint comes in Android version.
Note: That's PowerDirector, not PowerPoint.
Congrats on getting married! Hope you have a great party!
Honestly this seems soooooo complicated! I hope maybe I can work up to this one day, but I feel like I'm a big picture person and not a detail person! Hmmmm, maybe I will pay someone to edit for me one day lol
the day you uploaded this it was my birthday I am 10 now
Ha between their ears! Excellent advice.
I love jump cutting up my videos, I also adjust my microphone level to -10db so i can skip all of the parts of me breathing, because my microphone picks up every little thing.
Good idea! Thanks Andrew!
Love these content rich vids.
Ugh this was so helpful! Thanks ✍ Sincerely Leshawn
Yay!!
Thanks Amy! After #SSSVEDA in 4 days I will be editing my videos with these jump cuts even more so that I'm not droning on and on. (Boooooring!) Congrats on your awesome wedding! Enjoy and take time for YOU and your soon to be hubby! You deserve it! 😁💫⚡️✨
Thank you Kim! I hope this tactic works for you!! You're the best :)
1:54 I couldn't help but notice that your dock is not completely visible. Not that it's important here.
Speaking of cuts, you cut yourself off at the end.
Don't get me wrong here! I love what you do! I'm just saying...
LOOOOOVe me some jumpcuts!!! 👊 😉
I just call it "editing" ;) I use Pinnacle Studio. I do it for the "uhmms", and my lovely coughing fits ;-p, and things I say at the end of sentences i.e. mini-catch phrases etc ;) Still need to learn to make pregnant pauses though.

LOL I can't wait either!
I"m sure you realise you could put 6 ads in this video yet I only see a single preroll. What is your reasoning for that. Everyone is accepting of a preroll do you feel mid roll and end roll is too obnoxious or viewers are not yet normalised to seeing so many ads?
I have no idea what you're talking about. There was one sponsor.
Jump cuts are so annoying.
I find it hard to get past one minute into a video because I lose focus. All I notice is the person jumping around.
Have you checked my book review on ur book?
Nice speaking
Amy, as a time optimization junkie, I can automate the removal of dead air with jump cuts, and even compress silence. Start a trial, run on your host computer, could save your countless hours of edit time a week. www.timebolt.io
