Great video 👏 One of those things i find you do mostly instinctively in an edit, but eye tracing sums it up perfectly 😀 Also, i find matching up camera movement directions in shots also helps for a smoother flow!
Man 20 year career heavy equipment mechanic here. I’ve done anything and everything a mechanic can do. Built engines, transmissions, hydraulic pumps, tracks, weld everything under the sun back together but the most challenging thing I’ve done in my life is learning cameras/editing. I really enjoy it. It’s always challenging to see what you can make. It’s little stuff like this that makes me excited to learn. Great video
This is the third time where I am currently doing a project and I get stuck on something in my edit that is very specific, but you somehow make a video about it the very next day or two 😂
To me it was the fact that the clips were panning as soon as we went in to them. Totally jarring to be able to watch anything moving like that. If they had have been cut at larger intervals then that may have helped but as they say they were all over the place.
Informative Vid. I do quick cut all the time, usually i can get a good music and cut on beat. It feels cool as long as the music is cool. But I forgot whom, he mentioned when cut, he will feel the logic/feeling, not exactly cut on beat. So eventually now i try cut on beat/logic(based on what's on screen, movement etc)/and 'eye track-(recently)'
Sounds about right! You can also cut on the off beat and sometime to switch it up so your viewer doesn’t anticipate the cut, have a long clip that breaks the ‘cycle’.
Great editing tip! I also use the same technique with positioning video's with horizons in their image. I try to keep them at the same level, so that they don't jump up and down. Thanks!
I had first heard of this from @HillierSmith. I installed Rule of 3rd plugin to FCP so I could line up the eyes perfectly between clips. I want more of these little tidbits.
@@dylanjohndickersoneven zooming in would have worked…or creating a kaleidoscope effect with the edges (see Simone Ubsdels recent videos) would have made it work. Not at all trying to criticize, but it would have made the video that much more effective.
I was kind of hoping you’d fix that video for us to show before and after. I really love what you showed us in the video but that would have made it a little better.
I actually did, but I cut it out for time and because I felt it was redundant because I show an example where it works right after. I'll leave it in next time though. You live and you learn.
Absolutely love this dude. Definitely want more and more of these editing concept breakdowns!
Agreed. You two are awesome.
Thanks a ton for watching, brotha! 👊🏼 I'll definitely create more.
Great to be reminded of this. George Miller and his editors have talked about this quite a bit for the Mad Max movies.
Came here to say this. Fury Road would be borderline incomprehensible without this. Won the Oscar for editing!
Yup! Exactly. Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks Adam! Yuppp! Motion match cutting is a great way to improve flow as well
Thanks man! Learned something new today!
Happy to help 😊 thanks for watching!
Thanks Dylan. Learn new thing from your video.
Love to hear that 😊 thanks for watching and commenting.
Great tip and well presented!
Thanks for watching 😊
Banger video, the breakdown and comparison between the two scenes were amazing.
Thanks Ryan! 👊🏼🤙🏼
You are a video editing grandmaster! Keep up the great content!
Well well well, look who entered the comments 😄 thanks for watching duder!
Love this concept. While I *think* I've been doing this by instinct, it's nice to actually have a concept to follow. Thanks!
No problem 😊 sometimes a reminder helps.
This is what I've been waiting/looking for. For years.
Stoked to hear it helped 😊

It’s the exact opposite for me 😅 I can’t name a single thing in an engine. Glad I could teach you a little something.
So simple but so important! Mind blown. :)
Stoked you found it useful 😊 thanks for watching and commenting!
I work on this constantly, thanks for the reminder!
I got you, Matthew 👊🏼
This was interesting. Something I did not know about. No wonder my videos give people a migraine!!! Very many thanks Dylan. Most useful.
My pleasure, Richard! Thanks for watching 👊🏼
great video, I learned alot
Thanks for the video Dylan! Always trying to improve this technique in projects I work on.
You're welcome! Thanks so much for watching 👊
This is the third time where I am currently doing a project and I get stuck on something in my edit that is very specific, but you somehow make a video about it the very next day or two 😂
😂 once again, I can read your mind!
Awesome trick, thanks!
Thanks so much for watching!
This was gold. Thanks!
Stoked you enjoyed it 😊 thanks for watching!
Thank you so much!!!!helpful information
Thanks for watching, dude!

Ya that too. However if they all flowed in the same direction and were more lined up, it would've been a different story.
I struggle greatly with fast cutting, but I guess practice is king. Great tips, hopefully this will help me :-)
Practice is definitely king. Just feel the flow and you got it.
Great topic to cover and very helpful breakdown!!
Thanks so much for watching, amigos! 😊
Awesome tips, Dylan! I am always stoked to see another upload from you. 😌
Thanks a ton for watching and for the support, Chad!
Nice one, Thanks
Thanks for watching, brother!
Great! Thank you Dylan. I love your Storytelling also. It works so good and keeps me in your video. 😊
Really appreciate that 😊 thanks so much for watching!
Thanks very much!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Editing 101 💪🏼

I’ll pump out more 😊
Are there grid lines or something in FCPX that make living things up easier? Thanks. Great video!
You can upload custom grid lines by going to view, choose custom overlay, but I usually just go back and forth between shots.
Anyone else waiting for him to redo the Bad Bunny edit so we could see what it shoulda looked like? -------->🙋♂️
😂 I wish I had the project with the source files. Editing a music video for Bad Bunny would be so dope.
Totally.

@@dylanjohndickerson totally understandable. I wasn’t trying to find fault…I really learned a lot from this, thank you.
Wow! THIS IS BRILLIANT! Thank you Dylan
😄 I really appreciate that amigo! DB is awesome!
