    There's Tarkovsky's book "Sculpting in time" and his "Lectures on directing" and "Lessons of directing", although idk if last two has English translation but it has to be included in "Sculpting of time" at least partially. So he approaches editing totally different, that you as a director start to outline editing prior to the screenplay even (when you just had an idea), and then you edit pieces based on the "feeling of the flow of the time in the shot (frame)", his main point that movie is about capturing the (flow of) time in itself, and movie in the whole is like mosaic of time (pieces), like "canned time", so you can't put together two shots with "different time (flow)" together while editing like a plumber can't put together two pipes of different diameter. I should add that by the (flow of) time he meant not the physical movement in the frame, not the speed of that movement in ontological sense, but rather something much more thorough as a dimension or so, literally capturing the time on the film.
    What triggers me and utterly upsets that almost every single modern movie has the same editing and the same editing feeling, and when I watch let's say Bergman's movies or Robert Bresson's ones, it's such a nice breath of fresh air...

    It’s interesting to hear someone articulate parts of the editing process that many editors instinctively “feel” are the right things to do, even if they don’t know exactly why.
    I often struggle with this myself, explaining to a fellow editor why I did what I did. My explanation is usually that my intuition kicks in and the problem-solving takes place on the timeline. Very vague, but hey, videos like these might help me get better at explaining why I do what I do.
    Thanks for the video!

    There's also feel. It's hard to explain but people who do edit knows the exact frame to cut. You play the clip and hit space as fast as you can the moment you feel it should cut. You'll know it if it's a frame off or it should be a frame more but you'll know that feeling when it's the exact timing to cut.

    Wonderful video, showing your profession so well!. I have to watch carefully and take notes, I barely started to long format videos and I need every tip for editing! Can you also mention if you do scripting for the talks and explanations, what is the best approach to record and cut talks? I do a long recording session and find myself making mistakes, talking too much and unintentionally have filler words and silent moments. It makes it very hard to edit..
