The best video editing techniques
When you learn how to edit videos, it’s important to try and master a variety of techniques. This will help you understand different ways to move a story along, as well as discover favorite approaches that can become signature styles as you grow in confidence. Get to grips with these different techniques as you learn video editing and you’ll be creating impressive work in no time.
Montage
Montages are the perfect device for moving a character’s development or a storyline along quickly. Made up of short cuts and usually soundtracked by a single song or piece of music, they allow video editors to make the most of lots of different shots in one quick scene. Getting them right requires skill, lots of footage and an understanding of where you want your film and its characters to be once the montage has ended. Classic montages include the start of Disney Pixar’s Up, the training scenes in every Rocky movie and the end of Donnie Darko.
Match cuts
Using a match cut allows video editors to create continuity between scenes by matching the action or the subject from one scene to the next. This gives editor the opportunity to move a story along quickly between seemingly unrelated scenes without confusing the viewer. Classic examples include the ape throwing a bone in the air at the start of 2001: A Space Odyssey, with a match cut turning the bone into a satellite, and Lawrence of Arabia blowing out a match which then cuts to the sun rising over the desert. To master match cuts, try to consider what objects and subjects relate to each other, however obliquely, and think how they could be put together to make your film look professional.
J and L cuts
J and L cuts are common techniques used when editors want to utilize audio from one scene over the video of another. An L cut is when the audio from the first scene carries on over the footage of the second. A J cut is the opposite, with audio from the second scene heard while the first scene is still on screen. It’s fun to play around with the timing of when audio comes in on certain scenes, with the overlaps helping to tie things together if they’re placed correctly.
Cutting on action
This is a simple but effective tool that all video editors should master. The technique is just as it sounds, cutting as action takes place, either ending a scene or switching to a different angle. This makes the action’s impact more powerful, with the best editors switching angles and cutting quickly in order to keep viewers hooked. Fight scenes in The Matrix and the numerous shoot outs in Pulp Fiction are perfect examples of cutting on action.
Cut to the music
Music’s role in video editing should not be underestimated. In fact, sound should have equal weight with visuals. Make sure montages fit neatly with songs or music that you use. It’s worth paying to licence music or have music made for your film if you can, as royalty free tracks can often be poor quality and let the entire finished product down. Movies by PT Anderson and Wes Anderson demonstrate how to edit well to music, especially with montages.
Cutaways
Cutaways allow video editors to develop a character or scene with just a few frames from different angles. Rather than focusing just on what a character or subject is saying, these simple cuts help build a picture quickly, focusing on objects that are around them. If a gun is going to be used in a scene, a quick cutaway to this will signal to viewers its importance and the fact that it will sooner or later be fired. This technique requires placing lots of small cuts within a longer scene and a clear understanding of what you want the scene to show. Learning how to use video editing software properly will help develop cutaway skills.
Parallel editing
Parallel editing is the process of cutting between scenes that are occurring at the same time. By moving between the two, editors can build tension, especially if the audio remains the same across the footage by using J or L cuts. It’s a tried and tested tactic in thriller and fantasy movies, in particular The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Get export settings right
Getting export settings right will ensure that the final file size of your film isn’t too big to play back on devices such as smartphones and tablets. Be sure to understand codecs – these are the file formats your video will be saved as. Keep the resolution down if you’re producing a video for YouTube or Vimeo and ensure the frame rate is right: 24 frames per second for film and 30 frames per second for TV. Failure to grasp this might mean your video struggles to play on popular online platforms.
