finally a video that actually teaches me narrative techniques, bored of all those vids that just repeat over and over the same things and channels copying each other, great work Parker, I’m a proud subscriber of yours

This is world's best tutorials about cuts

YES! I have been looking for a video like this! I love those seamless transitions, but they don't work with movies. Thank you so much Parker!

I love the confident and concise way you describe everything. That’s a skill few can master. You have a new subscriber. 👍🏽

Just to expand a bit on #5. Its important to think about eye tracing when cutting on action. You want the motion to continue into the new shot as well as the eye moment. That means that the point of focus of the two shots should be at approximately the same place so the eyes don't jump around. I frequently use the flip effect when cutting on action to get the right flow. Just a tip for new editors.

Loved the new setup Parker! Such an insightful episode. Thanks a lot for uploading :)

hey Parker, it's me Edward from Budapest, Hungary/Europe - there are no words how thankful I am. You are the one who also gives me new power, energy, motivation at all to do stuffs and you are still the number one for me! I remember your videos have been the very first ones to me which encouraged me to believe in myself and I can watch tons of other tutorials... the way you explain and demonstrate is the best all over the world! I am so thankful for you to share these cut and editing techniques, greetings from the sunny Budapest :)

L and J cuts are by far my favorite transitions between scenes. Audio is often underutilized in transitions, and that’s a shame.

This site has changed my whole experience in filming. This is the ideal film school for us who can't access a film school but have passion for the industry. Thanks so much. You are such a blessing.

Everything about this video is really informative, people like you help us (who can't afford to go to film schools) learn a lot of things about video editing and Cinematography, Thanks Parker.

The quality of your videos... wow just blew me back, Absolutely incredible. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

Great video Parker. This is so true. Most pro videos don't have a load of fancy transitions unless necessary to the scene and story. The editing is there to serve the story. Excellent video mate.

These are some amazing tips that I will use when putting together my DR honeymoon trip I have been putting off due to lack of editing skills.

When you're watching the how to videos online, one after another, after another, every now and then you get to one that is so well made you pay attention, notetake nearly every single word from it, watch it twice through, and even send it to a few friends. This is one of those. Very, very well made, excellently presented. Thank you. The hard work and quality of this video has me considering purchasing your larger online class after I'm done with a few others that were worth purchasing.

This is a great video. I made that same cross fade mistake in the beginning years ago....lol. I already use so many of these, but kinda just learning as I go. LOVE understanding it and picking up some more to help in my edits. THANKS so much for sharing! 😀😃🎨

I am really impressed by how you employed these techniques in you short video. A really simple way to tell that you're hella great of a filmmaker. Subscribed!

Love the honesty and straight forward nature! Also the humor is light and the editing is so on point!!

From Middle Class editing 🙋♥️✨..

Thumbs up! This is exactly what I was looking for. Plus I have realised before I even press record I need to know which transitions I gonna use so as to know how I will film.

Never heard of "J" and "L" Cut, but using them in every video 😅

This is probably one of the most important "Film Editing Tips" videos I have ever watched. Keep up the great work!

3:29 this was the most practical way of explaining something I have ever experienced in my entire lifetime

Thank you so much Parker, please consider making more tutorial videos in the future, you are helping a lot of us. :)

Smash cut was the new things learned here and always these guys teach everything new❤️

We love you Parker sir, lots of love from India..

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart! There are a lot of tutorials on how to make transitions but this one is truly the best.

I'm in the Longvierw Film Club, and I share many of your videos with the members because they packed with so many truly helpful tips and ideas! That you so much! BTW I call L cuts 'Leave' cuts because you are leaving audio already playing. And J cuts 'Join' cuts because you are joining audio already in progress. Helps me keep it straight in my head!

I have no idea who that girl is but she's hilarious.

Thank You Parker. I am an up & Coming Director/Editor these tips are very valuable. I also will be using these tips while creating vlogs & Videos for my RU-vid channel as well. Again Thank You !

This was thorough, informative and very useful - cheers Parker. It was entertaining too, let's not forget that!

This video is better and more informative than watching hundreds of videos. Thanks Parker🌹 You’re the best❤️❤️

Wow! Tuning in to this channel is fun! So so many things to learn! I feel like im enrolling to filmaking, though im just creating tutorial videos for my class.. Parker Walbeck thanks a lot man, you’re one of the best!

The last cut was amazing, thank you for the tutorial, you are always the best when it comes to this

You are by far one of the best video editors / video editing teachers on RU-vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did not notice those invisible cuts in the movie 1917. Crazy.! Great tutorial Parker

I have never found a video that explained all the cuts so beautifully. Thanks so much. I understood clearly what these cuts do. Nice video.

Great work again. Glad you mentioned not to overdo certain cuts.

Man I loved this video so much! This should have 10 MILLION VIEWS, it's super valuable information

So good! Such helpful and informative tips here. Thanks Parker! Always providing top quality stuff.

thank you for sharing your experience 😍 very, very useful info, can believe you just shared it on RU-vid, a lot years of experience

This is called Quality Content. Superb man

One of the best videos I’ve seen on hollywood transitions, well done 👍🏽 Parker. Thank you so much. I’ve learnt a lot from you. Keep up the awesome creative tutorial videos.

I like it- really good rationalizations on the whys with the context as well... Nice work man.

This was something really new! Thank you Parker for bringing extremely valuable content!

Yes that was helpful. I have been 6 months into constructing a stage and preparing it for puppet music video. I am now at the shooting stage and wow there is a lot to think about. I've already written 70 scenes and what goes with them like camera angles, transitions, lighting and alternate scenarieos. It only 7 minites long but man I 'm a bit overwhelmed especially since I can't get anyone else to work with me. But that's OK because when it' done I'll feel more accomplished. Thanks for the transition hints. I will surely be using them. Hoping to finish this by the start of fall. Sad I was hoping to finish in the summer. But hey you never know. Will keep you posted when it is done. Would love to hear what you have to say. Thanks again

Wow! in 14 minutes the whole theory of editing, very cool!

Loves from Turkey. Thank you a lot. You are teaching worldwide that we didn't learned in the college for film making

Just found this channel and it's awesome! I'm getting more and more into filmmaking and your videos are so helpful. 🙌😍

Thanks Parker! My kids are obsessed with “The Greatest Showman,” and there are some subtle, but really solid match cuts in that film. 👌

I’m watching this at 2:30am and i’m stuck on editing a video. i really needed this! Where do i look to learn more???! You’re great

The editing in this video alone was great. Good job!

I think crossfades, are good for wedding videos. Well used they give this dreamy look.

Thank you so much, this is literally gold.

I watch these videos not because I need to learn something but because the quality and thoroughness is inspiring. I definitely learn something but I’m really just amazed at the quality.

Best explanation of editing cuts I've ever seen. Thank you!
