    There's RUclipsrs who put hardly any editing in their videos and blow up faster than someone who puts hundreds of hours into a project (usually because of frequency)
    But there is so much truth to that line of abandoning creativity

    • @VegasEducation
      @VegasEducation 2 месяца назад +13

      RUclips is about providing value. Some creators can provide value with minimal editing. Some can't.
      Personally, i have a hard time speaking to the camera. I use editing to hide that. If i didn't suck at talking, i wouldn't have to edit my videos nearly as much. I hide it really well. I get comments all the time about people saying how amazing i am on camera.... its all fake

      @arrow2380 i have no natural charm. I can fake it. If that were the only problem, id be in the clear. The real problem for me is that i cant think and talk at the same time. I have to pause and collect my thoughts. Sometimes, mid sentence.

  • @FrameVoyager
    @FrameVoyager 2 месяца назад +23

    This reminds me a lot of being a musician too. Like how all the great musicians will change up a solo or how they sing song because they get bored of it but general audiences just want that usual version of it. Editing feels the same way, you just get bored of doing the same typical edit and you want to flash something artistic when maybe it doesn't fit the story. It really is about being disciplined to find those right moments in an edit or story to flash that creative side that actually services the story and not your creative needs haha.

  • @fairTX

  • @jdpowell6405
    @jdpowell6405 Месяц назад +3

    Editor's resentment is something i struggle with as well. I recently edited a friend/business partner's documentary short and loved the first complete version ... he came back with a bunch of notes to remove things, chop up segments, etc. and it threw me off. I suddenly didn't care about the project and let my passion for it go. I saw the edit through, but it was a struggle and a half. Personally i really liked your artistic version of the mr beast video. "How much of your creativity are you willing to give up for views?" I am going to staple that to the wall above my editing station. That hits so damn hard.

  • @lazyeight4090
    @lazyeight4090 2 месяца назад +10

    The 5 one just makes me think about movies. Like before I watched video editing stuff I would have never noticed all the artistic aspects of the movies I watch. Now I see almost every way they help tell the story on a first watch.

    I learned the hard way earlier in my career that this principle applies.
    I remember going to another dj's set about 20 years ago, (Before all the software we have now) who did his set, in key. To a discerning ear at the time, was completely brilliant, to the mainstream crowd... their reaction was ... meh. Play for your audience. = "who are you making your video for"?

    this is amazing stuff!! I also, always write down in my notepad in points a summary of what the video will be with transition, montage, etc. ideas where I want them to go, for it to make more sense as a whole piece, and makes the process less overwhelming. I think the last point is a bit that too, choose where to use the crazy motion stuff and where to keep it simple to serve the story. I think that's a mistake lots of youtubers make, its to make an intro all about trying to grab someones attention with effects. the most efficient way to grab someones attention is to ask a question.
