J Cuts are the BEST! They also really, really help when cutting down long sequences of dialogue! Recently I had to do a corporate video of two people talking, and I basically had to turn a ten minute video into a three minute video. By using lots of J cuts it's so easy to make those cuts super seamless, making it look as if it was just one short conversation all along!
I like how you showed the timeline and how it looks on the timeline, because so many of us are visual learners and seeing how it would look helps because we can go back and look and if we see something way different in our panel, we know we messed up somewhere and also you two are just awesome.
Brilliant, thank you for this! Editing tips that help with storytelling is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing, this was incredibly helpful!
Wow, Thank you Becki... We have been struggling with telling stories as we new to editing and this is the first video to actually give a technique to telling a story and WOW WOW WOW :) Very VERY HELPFUL :) Thank you
Ha you guys are always so entertaining to watch! I've been aware of these cuts for ages but never really saw the point in using them, now I get it! Gunna give it a a try.
I love how you break down these techniques so that they’re easy to understand. I’ve heard of them before but the process and when to use didn’t click with me until now. Love these tutorials!
I know that I'm showing my age but in my day we called that VO/SOT( voice-over/sound on tape). Now that we have nonlinear editing I see why you call it what you do. Great video Becki!
You know those things that you've seen a gazillion times but never thought what its actually called?? This is it! So good! This one video just made me a subscriber. :)
I think I’ve used these techniques to a degree without knowing it (ie cutaway), but I loved learning more about the how’s and why’s so that I can practice better in the future
This was awesome! Thank you so much for doing something on this because as a new channel and new into video things like this really help us as we progress! We cannot wait for more of your content it’s easily one of our favorites on RUclips!!
Seeing you drink iced coffee at 3 PM made me immediately think, yknow its ok if I make an iced coffee right now. SO GOOD. I like these kinds of technical videos, please make more film theory/technique videos 🤗
This was so helpful! I never knew about J and L cuts before. Now that you’ve explained them them, I know I’ve seen them used. Just never really paid attention to it. Can’t wait to try these out in future videos. Thank you!!
Great Video! I am a novice and have been trying to figure out how this is done. In my head, I thought this was the way but wasn't sure. Thanks for the tips! New sub!
And before I get into this I just want to say your hair is top tier and your vibe too. I don't even know if this is going to help me but in advance thank you! I make shitty fan edits, trying to get a bit better yk :)
@@BeckiandChris Yes.. family is a prioriy..:D Btw learned alot from your channel..:D i hope when u do shout outs..it will be an honor to be mention by you guys.. more power!!
Wow! Thank you so much for such a helpful video. It was really clear and concise. BTW I love your energy and attitude. Add so much more personality to the video and makes it more interesting. Peace!
I’m so glad I’m not the only goofy goober who does silly stuff while the camera is still rolling. I just can’t pull it off in my videos so they get cut. Not J or L cut, just cut. 😂 I just love your videos.
I’ve seen Peter McKinnon do this technique a bunch of times and I’ve always noticed and thought “is there a name for that?” Thank you for teaching me the name Becki! Great video
I starting noticing this when watching videos. Now I know that it's actually a thing - and what it's called. Thanks! Will definitely look for good opportunities to use it.
Why did it take me so long to watch this video? My bad J-cuts are one of my faves! It’s always a challenge to chop down your content, and sometimes it hurts, but sticking to the meat and potatoes is always the best way to move a story forward.
J CUTS ARE MY FAVOURITE! Also, how many times did I say story in this video?
Hey you guys!!! 😘😊😚Yayyyy another video! Finally 💉💉💉 gonna watch now!
Love the video. You look super cute! Gonna make a latte now. 😄👌
Are you leaving the office light or going dark?
Anymore home remodeling coming soon?
It’s the little things make everything else better. 😉

+100 respect points for using the term 'techniques' instead of 'hacks'.
or tricks
or tipps
Thank you! Hacks is not only grossly overused but an ugly-sounding word as well. Sounds like a person trying to clear their throat.
She says "this trick" right at the beginning lol@GustavoMendozaCanales

Audio is the element that holds EVERYTHING together in the edit. Great video
impressive technique to use ............. Never stop teaching us new stuffs , we always need more .
lovin u Becki and Chris 3000 .

Dmogul thanks! I’m also a visual learner so I need to see something to really make sense of it. Glad it was helpful!
Super helpful! I’ve known what J and L cuts were but your explanation of when and why to use them makes things 1000x more effective. Thanks!
This is great. I'm glad I found this channel. Much to learn. We are trying to be story tellers on RUclips. Your stuff looks fantastic.
Brilliant, thank you for this! Editing tips that help with storytelling is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing, this was incredibly helpful!
Good tips! I’ve already used these in my videos, but this really reminded me of how useful these cuts can really be. Thanks!
My absolute favorite cuts. I use them in every video! They’re like the every day carry tool for video edits. ❤️👏❤️🙌❤️

This is the ideal RUclips channel. I get editing advice and I get to see footage from a fellow helicopter pilot! You are both so energetic too.
Ha you guys are always so entertaining to watch! I've been aware of these cuts for ages but never really saw the point in using them, now I get it! Gunna give it a a try.
Alex Absolute thanks much!
Hi guys, just wanted to say I love the freshness and content of what you both are doing, it's so refreshing to watch. Keep up the great work.

I've seen this technique used so many times but its never been explained to me. Thank you for this video.
your examples were beautiful, they work so well!
When you look at it visually in the timeline, the name becomes more obvious. Such a great technique thank you!
Juan Manuel thanks!

Extra points for using an espresso machine!!! In my opinion - the only way to make decent coffee. Well done!
This was awesome! Thank you! 😊
J cuts really help with longer B roll sequences. The latte looked delicious.
Seeing you drink iced coffee at 3 PM made me immediately think, yknow its ok if I make an iced coffee right now. SO GOOD. I like these kinds of technical videos, please make more film theory/technique videos 🤗

I’m so glad I’m not the only goofy goober who does silly stuff while the camera is still rolling. I just can’t pull it off in my videos so they get cut. Not J or L cut, just cut.
😂 I just love your videos.
Michael Warth 🤣🤣🤣 i just leave it all in, I’m so bad at talking to the camera
I’ve seen Peter McKinnon do this technique a bunch of times and I’ve always noticed and thought “is there a name for that?”
Thank you for teaching me the name Becki! Great video
Awesome explanation!!
Love this 🙌🏼 short and simple but so helpful!
Becki! Nice one. I tend to use J cuts more than L. Regardless, very useful editing technique. 😀
Loving this video as always, and your hair looks amazing!!
Super cool! I had no clue this had a name, but I love the technique and well used makes a story to be a simple line! Thank you once again!
this video is a work of art
Becki, you are an editing and design jedi! I really enjoy your channel
digitalDean 😂😂 thank you so much!
Needed this Becki!!
that was really well explained!
This video filled in so many questions for me. Thank you much LOVE from Sin City
I starting noticing this when watching videos. Now I know that it's actually a thing - and what it's called. Thanks! Will definitely look for good opportunities to use it.
The subtle way of transition without even emphasising it majorly. It's so smooth, it usually goes unnoticed. Really, didn't know it had a name 😅 XD
This was a sick video thank you i learned a lot from this.
Great video, how long did it take you to put this video together. Recording, editing.
I am going to try that latte right now ☕
Why did it take me so long to watch this video? My bad
