DON'T ALWAYS CUT TO THE BEAT! When you have an action you want to emphasize, cut in-between beats and place the action you want to emphasize on the beat instead. It's called counterpoint editing, and It's one billion times more effective than cutting to the beat in these scenarios.
Another great video! I agree on Tip 1 & 3. But 2 is somewhat up for discussion. If you look at Music Videos, alot of them are edited in syncopation (off beat). This prevents the brain from getting too 'comfortable' and throws the viewer off a little (which creates low level excitement). I agree there has to be some shots on the beat, but an off beat every once in awhile will mix things up a little. My thoughts. :)
Thanks! You are absolutely right. I guess what I should have said is to make sure you think about how your music can complement the video rather than slapping it on there as an after thought. You're definitely right that it doesn't always have to be on beat. Thanks for pointing that out! -Daniel
Ever just come across a dude that gets it... just gets it. Knows how to connect with people through great visuals , lighting, etc... and the audio just gets into your eardrums. Daniel man, you know what you're doing. You got that marketing gift. Well done sir
Of the hundreds of videos I've watched about frame rates, you're the first to explain why not to record in 120fps. I also figured, why not have the option to slow it down? Thanks for that tip!
As a total nOOb, I REALLY appreciate your ability to make what seem like advanced theories downright simple for those who don't know a lot - thank you!
Good to hear your tips! Using the 180 degree shutter rule for motion is a good rule to stick too... unless shooting action like you said. Then I’d go to 90 degree.
Really really thank you. Sir your page is giving the best and rarest informations. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. As a student i/many can't pay to learn or take some courses. Your channel provides us detail infos and the best/ most important. Love from INDIA. HATS OFFF 🏆
When you have certain type of music, it's a good idea to edit to the beat. Although editing to a beat all the time is like using cross fade on all clips. Someone might think its really pro thing to do... Btw. Beat Edit Pro for Premiere is really good tool for detecting beats on audio tracks. I use it to edit to the beat and on other projects it helps me to avoid editing to the beat.
You're absolutely right, it's not a good idea to cut every single shot to the beat of the music. The point I'm trying to make is that a lot of people disregard the music and don't use it to complement the footage
Added point to editing to music: If your editor allows you to set a project tempo (BPM) and set an editing grid to measures/bars (or even divisions of), set the video project to the song's tempo, line up the song with the grid (like where the fist bar of the song begins should also begin where a measure on the timeline starts, then edit to the grid. Easy. Also, you can use high frame rate footage on a slower frame rate timeline without slowing the footage down, if you are able to conform the faster frame rate footage to the project frame rate or if you're able to disable footage resampling.
Hey, Daniel... What plugin do you use to stabilize your video in FCPX? Does it "cut" some borders from the clip? You should make a video with your favorite plugins! :)
thx for the tips, i will definitely try my best to do them while i shot my videos, u are the best

Hey Daniel, you are really covering great stuff again :). Can you make a detail video please how you edit different frame rates on 24fps squence in Final Cut Pro? Because if shoot all 60 fps and edit in 24fps its really great for slow mo but if I want some of my videos play at real time speed which is 60 fps for this case (w/o slow mo) video loose its smoothness. So I would be appreciated if you cover this topic as well. Thank you in advance
Am I swagger jacking if I want to order a neon light for my room!? I don't want the TH-cam gods to get mad at me. All jokes aside, keep up the good work!
Love your channel. Quick question, you mentioned Christian Mate Grab and the aspiring filmmaker group on Facebook and it made me think of a comment Christian made recently in one of his live streams, which was paraphrased as, F*** ND filters and just turn up the shutter speed as high as you need to expose the scene properly if your posting your video to TH-cam, it won't make a noticeable difference. I was surprised by this comment, as I've always been taught and practiced the 180 rule, which often requires using a variable ND filter when outdoors. What do you think about his comment? Is the difference less noticeable on TH-cam?
Great video and these are 3 great tips man! I was wondering about frame rate and how you were talking about getting the most natural motion blur. I usually shoot in either 60 or 120p unless if I absolutely know that it will be full speed. What I usually do is use a 24p timeline and convert all footage to 24 frames for the motion blur then speed up clips back to normal time when need be. Am I still losing the motion blur if the clip is converted to 24 fps in premiere then sped up in the timeline? Thank you in advance!
Help! What i should do if i have to make a crossfit video and i usually took a Lot of toms in all the angles and movement to select them later in premiere. But i dont know ceartanly in who i will slow motion. If i took in 60 but i use a 30 secuence it will be seen Bad?
Daniel, so what would happen if I’m shooting in 60fps and then placing that video in a 24 fps timeline? Would the timeline delete those extra frames and make the 60fps look like a natural 24fps vídeo in the final export?

the real protip
There's almost always less than a second between each beat so I am assuming you mean measure?

Best regards .

Thanks, man!
Thanks for the tips! What frame rate do you suggest if you’re unsure if you’re going to want slow mo footage or not?
60. Any lower and slowmo wont look good. Any higher and ur normal speed will have 0 motion blur
Thank you so much
Great video and these are 3 great tips man! I was wondering about frame rate and how you were talking about getting the most natural motion blur.
I usually shoot in either 60 or 120p unless if I absolutely know that it will be full speed.

Am I still losing the motion blur if the clip is converted to 24 fps in premiere then sped up in the timeline? Thank you in advance!

Daniel, so what would happen if I’m shooting in 60fps and then placing that video in a 24 fps timeline? Would the timeline delete those extra frames and make the 60fps look like a natural
