- How to Make Better Jump Cuts. If you create videos on TH-cam, then you know how tough it is to deliver the words what you have to say. You stumble on your words, you get lost, or you completely forget what you wanted to communicate. If you are like me, you have to do multiple takes before you are satisfied. Thankfully, we can cover up our mistakes with jump cuts. However, I see many people do jump cuts the wrong way. It just looks bad!
So, today I am going to tell you what you are doing wrong so you can make better jump cuts. I use Final Cut Pro X in this tutorial, but the concept will work the same in iMovie, Adobe Premiere, Filmora, Sony Vegas, etc.

awesome video
exactly what I needed!
Thank you so much for share this💖
I wish I could jump cut the time I wasted to the moment I found this video.
Thanks bro
cool!
This is the best advice ever! I'm applying this to my current project and it's making my audio at the cut so much smoother...smooth like BUTTA!!! I will forever do this now, so worth it!

I had been struggling with this concept on my own channel! Now thanks to your explanation, I’m going to implement it right away and make a video about it. Glad I subscribed to you
I have watched a ton of "help" videos like these and usually come away with as many new questions as answers. But MARCOS' audio & video & explanations are concise, yet CLEAR and effective. And that is KEY to good instruction. His is the ONLY FCP channel I have actually subscribed to. Thank you, sir, for your effort and for sharing! I look forward to more.
I just learned how to zoom in on a cut without using crop. Great, man! Thanks. Life saver. ✌😎
Thanks a lot, dude, gotta make my college project look clean
This was super helpful!! I wa using b-roll to cover the cuts, but sometimes the speaker needed to be visible, so this is huge help! THANK YOU!
Thanks man. I am currently working on an interview for school so this comes in very handy
Thank you so much for this! keep making videos. ❤️
very professional and very simple... the best!
Found you through the TH-cam recommendations feature. This is great stuff, man! Keep it up!
I just made the switch from Premiere Pro CS6 to Final Cut Pro x and your videos are a massive help, thank you!
That's great to hear. I am sure you will pick it up in no time.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Excellent video! Short n useful!
Hi Marcos!!! Keep them coming!! Awesome videos. Thumbs up!!!!
👍🏼
Thank you so much for making this simple and easy to understand. I am learning how to edit and this really helped me. Thank you
Special
If you look down at your notes and then come up again to start talking with your head in a slightly different position will the change of composition on zoom, take out the slight head movement. I use Vegas and if I change the shot composition in key frames by zooming in it slightly reduces quality so I guess you don’t do it too much, like in your clip.
Simple & straightforward explanation. Thanks, Marcos.
Thanks Marcos. Super easy to follow and very helpful...
Awsome this whole editing thing is so hard i got work in a few hours and im here learning how to improve my edits I can't wait to try these tips hopefully I not just me but we all can reach our goals of entertaining people with the tips you provided.
Is this done in Built in editing program in a laptop computer, or is this done in software you buy, or is this done in TH-cam studio? Right now all i have to film is a Amazon Fire tablet and nothing can be edited. I miss having a decent Windows laptop. I used that and a clipon webcam to film. And i did basic storyboard editing
You just helped me a lot. thanks!
Perfect guide. Been looking for something like this. Nice work Marcos!
Glad it was helpful!
Simple, clear, effective Marcos. Thx!!
The best Brazilian accent!! congrats
Great advice. Definitely worth trying
This is great man! I learned something new today, I never thought about making one cut and then pull the clips to where I need them to be...I was making two cuts and then letting the clips come together. Your way is ten times better!
Chad, you should check out my videos on how to edit faster with keyboard shortcuts. I actually use Option + [ to speed up my editing. Thanks dude for the feedback earlier!
I wish I would have taken the time to research this stuff a long time ago. I started learning some of these tricks just from trial and error but I can't wait to watch more of your videos to be able to improve my video quality. Thank you for the tips!
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. 🌷😊🌺
Nice video too much
came here, surprisingly, through the TH-cam "help" option on TH-cam Studio! respect for that! 🙏
Thanks for your video. Expecially for the comparison of bad & good versions
cool
Thank you for the clear video and I plan to start doing this in the future. I played around with one of my already posted videos to see how it would look different than before and it was night and day better. Moving forward, my videos will be so much smoother. Thanks
Damn! Thank you! I just finished shooting and editing my first talking head video and it took me 3 days! Tons of jumpcuts! I'll use your tips from my next video. :)
I love the way you explain it ... easy to digest...👍👍👍
Appreciate how simple you keep these..definietly learned alot. Thank you!
This was so useful! Thank you!
omg tysm for this video! i now know how to edit and jump cut my vids. ur awesome!
Thanks. I definitely have this problem and the tips are gonna come in really handy
Sounds good 😁
Awesome man. Thank you!
sangat bermanfaat sekali informasi yang diberikan, saya banyak belajar dalam melakukan edit
Simple AND clear. Thank you :)
Cool, thanks for watching.
Hi
Great job
You nailed it. I have been looking for a down to the point video like this. Thank you a lot!
Thanks for the tips man. Simple and straightforward solutions, looking to experiment with these on my channel. I have definitely noticed that sometimes I nail cuts, but many times there are also some more abrupt transitions in there. I tend to just focus on the flow of audio and go from there. Anyways, Keep up the good work. God bless.
Great tip here! Jump cuts are definitely important.
👍
Oh my word this just helped me so much. Thank you for this
Finally, someone explained this in a straight forward process! Thank you!
Glad to hear it Terry
@@MarcosRochaTV thanks man i think many people were having trouble finding this on youtube cuz hella people were posting replies saying that the video wasnt what they thought. youre a legend
Bro! Such an awesome clip! Really loving your channel and all of your content! I'm new to TH-cam and editing so appreciate you! Keep up the incredible work!
This was huge . Thank you
cool
Appreciate the video as I’m still learning fcpx after leaving Sony vegas
Cool. Let me know if you have any problems with FCPX?
Hey Marcos, great video! PS: Also exzellent audio quality. What‘s the level of your background music (in dB) and the level of your voice? I‘m always struggling to find the right balance. Thanks in advance!
I usually lower the audio track to -25db to -30db.
Aww man thanks for this video i been wanting to learn some new tricks on editing. just found your channel
👍😎
awesome!
very helpful!
Solid! Thank you 👍🏽
Wow! Exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much! I really enjoy your tutorials)))
Love that your videos are super clear and straight to the point. Thank you !
you've gained a new subbie x
Great job dude... Just what I was looking for... TD
@Commando Designs
What does TD stand for ??
@@kenzielynn1047 sorry, just means, Tony D. Thx.
I have trouble deciding exactly where to make the slice. I usually zoom way in and go right up to the very frame the sound of the voice starts and back up 1-4 frames. I have tried cutting 1, 2, 3, and 4 frames before the sound. Is there a perfect place to make the cut every time? Like right on the exact frame the voice starts on or how many frames before. Same with making the cut after the voice. If you leave two frames before and two frames after, that is a 4 frame delay between the sound. but if you don't leave any space, then it may sound like one long sentence or even tighter between words. As you can tell, I'm confused, Please just tell me how many frames before the sound and after and I will do it that way every time from now on. lol Also, how do you decide when to use a J cut and when to use an L cut? Thanks for the awesome video!
Thank you so much for making this simple and easy to understand.
Thanks Marcos, I've enjoying your videos
Hey Thomas, thank you for saying so.
Nice...this is good feature that I have already tried out . Thank You .
awesome, thanks
Thank you 😊
Perfect, this was exactly what I was looking for thanks!
THANKS BRO!
Great lesson! thank you
Hermano Marcos, gracias!! This is hugely helpful and important. 💛😊
Yaaas, can't wait to try this! Excellent, Thank you!
👍🏼
Thank you ..that was helpful
Well...I didn't notice too much of a difference in the two intros. In fact, had the bad intro was the one you only showed I wouldn't have noticed or had been bothered by.
Thank you for the tips❤️
Great advice, thanks. TIL about the L cuts.
yes sir
If I'm being honest, I preferred the "bad" jump cuts from a pure audio perspective. I don't like how jarring a lot of jump cuts are because they sound so obviously stitched together even if you're not seeing the visuals with them. It's fine every once in a while for comedic effect (though they are done to death in that regard, too), but seeing them throughout a video is really annoying. I don't mind multiple takes to get certain lines correct, but it's very important (to me, at least) to embrace space rather than eliminate it. My philosophy is that you either use a teleprompter (impractical for a lot of people) or make transitions between clips less abrupt. If in those "bad" jump cuts, instead of immediately looking away or whatever after a line is completed, you had kept your on-camera composure for a second or so, that would be a lot more digestible for me. Then again, as I've implied, this is all a matter of personal opinion.
Perfect 👍🏻
Thanks so much for this video!!! subbed
That's great info so useful! Thank you.
👍🏼
Great tips
Damn! Easy fixes! Thank you so much for this!!
How long did it take you guys to get really good with final cut? I seemed to have gotten the hand of it in a month but nothing crazy
it all depends on how frequently you use it, I feel like I'm at an advanced intermediate level and took me about 6 months. Sometimes I forget things I've learned, how to customize and manipulate certain aspects....I'm always learning new things.
This was so helpful bro tanks
Nice video. I looked at the bad cuts and i was like thoose look familiar
Yeah, my jump cuts have been horrific! Thanks for letting me know. I normally use iMovie...
Simple and Amazing!!
Really useful thanks! Any thoughts on "how often" to do a jump cut or acceptable ranges? E.g. up to every 10 seconds, or a shorter timespan? And would you stick to just jumping between TWO different zooms/scales most of the time and occasionally use a third? (As I think applies to your video here.)
Awesome as always man. I appreciate the video!
You got it, thanks for stoping by. 👍
OMG! Thank you so much!
This was really useful! Thanks man
Very THANKS man. It is a nice Video. I suped und liked!!

AWESOME THANKS BRO
Tankyou so much
Wow that's probably saved me months of bad jumping
Thank you so much for this video I really need it in my editing
Tank you,,
Nice info.thanks
Are you using a different video editor? I can `t find Jump Cuts, when I try to edit my videos, the only options showed is to add music, to blur image and to add elements, nothing else!! There are no icons like the ones showed on the top of this video images or index. Could you help me? By the way, are you Brazilian?
