About me:
I've been making short films for 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month. I also work as a video editor, cutting ads for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.

The Q and W shortcut just saved my marriage, holy shit. I had no idea.

@JoshuaSutlive Год назад

Wow, to think the q and w hot keys have been right there under my nose this whole time. As an incredibly slow editor, I really needed this video. Great job!

@StandardStoryCo Год назад

The day I discovered Q/W... I'll never forget the feeling of joy followed immediately by annoyance at how many hours of my life I had wasted.

@DLHMedia Год назад

Q & W !!

Same

@TheVRhub_ Год назад

@DhrumitMehta Год назад

I can confirm the Template and "Q and W" tips are LIFE SAVERS!!

@livi_bridge Год назад

I used to edit my own RU-vid videos when I was in HS and I absolutely loved it. I wanted to do this for a living but thought it wouldn’t compensate well so I always put it on the back burner ever since I was a kid. I decided it was time to dive back into it and I’m incredibly excited. I have a client lined up to work with already (free of course since I’m just getting back into it) thank you for these videos!

@SwadyPortfolio Год назад

Hey it's a month later. How is it going?

@humadi2001 Год назад

This is the second time I dig for this video to refresh my editing skills, truly underrated.

@HotCherry Год назад

You're the injection of humour I needed in my tutorial videos and I cannot thank you enough for providing that!

@scottstevensonfilms Год назад

"CRANK OUT THAT 1:1 9:16 4:5 AND MAKE A 15 SECOND CUT DOWN THAT WOULD BE GREAT" I had this same interaction on the phone with a client last night. OMG so relatable. Keep up the amazing work and love your new office setup.

@smolcof Год назад

I have been video editing for about 3 years now and it usually took me about 3-4 hours to edit a 2 hour piece of footage, I really appreciate these tips and now It only takes me an hour to push out a great vid. Thanks a lot, one day my projects will be seen by everybody :)

@SonoranSpaceProgram Год назад

I literally spent HOURS yesterday on just an initial rough because I was hunting and pecking controls and editing by cut -> select -> delete -> right click -> ripple delete. jeesh! I recently moved from Final Cut Pro X over to Premier Pro and couldn't figure out how to do top/bottom edit in one action like the default ripple of FCPX. Retraining myself in a new editor has been sucking the life and enjoyment out of my project. This is gonna save me so much time, and I actually feel invigorated to begin my editing session again today. How serendipitous that you uploaded this today, total life saver!

@shimondaniel Год назад

Your video just make things so clear, I just want to thankyou for clearing things out for us brother!

Have watched plenty of your vids in the past but this one turned me into subscriber. Agree with all your tips especially number 3 on shortcuts and Excalibur. Also like how our workspace is similar in some areas

@JackDice Год назад

amazing video, i need to start working on one task genre at a time like you mentioned. i tend to make a cut, think of the editing and just start it and it slows down my whole work flow. amazing tips, this genuinely is going to help loads

@erickheyl8293 Год назад

Needed this video!! I am working my day job a lot and have a newborn so super hard to even find time to edit. Some of these tips I’ve seen but you present them in such a way it seems easy to follow and try out. Thanks!! 🙏🏻

@borntrillbaby 8 месяцев назад

best advice video i've watched to date, especially the assembly line thinking, timesaver!

@brandonj80 9 месяцев назад

Could you go into a video of how to setup your workflow. Like your sequences, what screens you have pulled up, etc.

@teacherofteachers1239 Год назад

Always useful stuff in this series, and Q & W are life changing. I'm new to this, but one thing I have found helpful is making regular use of the label function to assign colors to clips and sequences so I can see at a glance (for example) the gap between Greg talking (yellow) and Marsha talking (green), where I want to drop some B-roll clip (red).

@StandardStoryCo Год назад

Yes! Love coloring clips. Also good for narrative projects to see how long each scene is and get a sense of pacing at a glance.

@johnsilver228 Год назад

best video ive seen regarding editing, thank you sir very very smart way of using the software.

@effex3168 Год назад

You are a very good person, and you're inspiring me so much, thanks! ❤️

@poppinyourtart Год назад

Thank you thank you thank you! I have a project with WAYYYY more footage then I'm used to and had no clue where to even start

@EditsByAustin Год назад

To me, separating clips solely by track feels like such a waste of vertical space. Changing the label color can not only distinguish what’s a throw away, a maybe, or a definite, it can then be used during the more precise editing as a clear visual indicator of where one scene begins and another starts. This makes adding transitions and sound design faster. But depending on the project, the ways of saving time will be drastically different, because a mrbeast style video is a completely different timeline compared to an Apple commercial or a show on Netflix

@Zaleskee Год назад

the detail/creativity in all your videos shows your true talent, hats off!!!

Love all your Tipps! Best advice video so far on RU-vid...love the Excalibur Tool, will buy it directly. The guy sells even more great tools for Premiere

@FowlPlayPresents Год назад

This has been my first year where I've been able to make somewhat consistent money as an assistant Editor and was immediately taught the exact same methods of how you're editing here. It's awesome to see I'm on the right track here.

@JenniferPerez-no7ih 4 месяца назад

hello, im learning to be a video editor, but was wondering is it hard to get a job as a assistant video editor?

@Adriventure_rod Год назад

thanks man . you helped me so much thank you again

@FrancisBrothersFilms Год назад

The great thing about Excalibur is you can combine a bunch of things into one keystroke. If you find yourself doing the same thing on every cut then add those to one giant keystroke. Saves an insane amount of time.

@StandardStoryCo Год назад

Yes! Didn't have time to get into all the features but creating custom macros makes it such a powerful tool for Premiere.

@FrancisBrothersFilms Год назад

@@StandardStoryCo like you said though, premiere should have a tool like this built in

@NLENinjaEffects Год назад

Do that daily with so many macros. Some macros I need Keyboard Maestro for but most times I run stuff through Excalibur

@Will_4560 Год назад

The sponsor section was so perfectly integrated into your video, never seen it that seamless before

Dude, I want to laugh at the client bursting in over and over again.... except it's so f***ing true! They are just like that. Except in my line of work, it wasn't clients, it was sales reps. Same breed, different smell. Great video, as always! :)

@pasturaproduction Год назад

Unfortunately I can’t use shortcuts because of my disability, I can use mouse only but this video help me a lot with templates and I have understand the importance and power of organizations. You are always top notch

@crewscotton Год назад

You should get a mouse with a bunch of buttons on it and assign the shortcuts to the mouse buttons!

@pasturaproduction Год назад

@@crewscotton I control the mouse from my wheelchair with Bluetooth so I can’t, but thanks for your advice

@crewscotton Год назад

@@pasturaproduction sorry to hear about that! Hopefully there is something out there to help ❤️

@robertulrich3964 Год назад

you could also look into autohotkey which can turn a bunch of combo keyboard modifiers into a single keystroke or mouseclick. you could also look into mouse gesture software.

@pasturaproduction Год назад

@mannyjamz Год назад

"We make a great team" serious Ahole xD he best be paying you top dollar.

@IgraineDraco Год назад

Well the video is 13 mins so you both got fired I guess But fr thank you so much for these tips, especially the rough cut based on hierarchy, I've never seen it before And Excalibur is such a time saver for most editors. You still need to master the essential shortcuts of Premiere tho, cuz most basic function doesn't include in the plugin, and it's also doesn't make sense to be in it (E.g. the add edit). I recommend waiting for a sale if you guys wanna buy it, especially if it's your first plugin cuz $75 is not expensive nor cheap. One more tip that I found to save time in Premiere Pro: When doing every action/ sequence of actions in Premiere Pro, whether it be cutting clips, organizing files, adding effects, or anything, ask yourself: Is there a way to make it faster? Is there a way I can automate this? Most of the time the answer is yes and most of the solution that I found is a plugin or a shortcut.

@pablorojonavarro3711 Год назад

The title is very insulting but it´s actually true, so can´t complain haha very helpful! I am starting to apply your workflow of several sequences for selection, edit, etc. I find it very clean and useful. I have a question btw. In the 1:23 you are using a keyboard command to drag the clip selected from track 1 to track 2. What´s that command? Thanks a lot!

@StandardStoryCo Год назад

Thanks! Alt (or option) + Up/down arrow
