90% of film editing is selecting. Selecting is the creative process of finding and organizing your shots before you begin the actual edit. The better your selects, the better prepared you are for greatness. Final Cut Pro X encourages a different kind of selecting process, where you do all your work within the clips and avoid creating separate select reels. Through rejecting, favoriting and assigning keywords each shot gets evaluated as you watch them. It saves time, can be cross referenced and is an altogether more intuitive process. ------------- Today's ONE SINGLE CUT comes from Olya Glotka: youtu.be/BQQ9Gn90HAo I WANT YOU: "One Single Cut": Upload a max. 10 sec. clip to your channel. This clip has two shots and a single cut in it. Leave a comment here so I know. I will pick a couple to feature in future episodes. THIS GUY EDITS (TGE) is a youtube channel by film editor Sven Pape, an A.C.E. award nominee, whose credits include work for directors James Cameron, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and James Franco. TGE is not about how to run a piece of software, but rather how to tell stories creatively. Sven cuts his latest film for Sundance filmmaker Mark Webber. “Flesh & Blood” is their third collaboration. Film Editing Book Recommendation - "In the Blink of an Eye" by Walter Murch: amzn.to/20ujg6B Several times a week TGE will post update videos. You get to see the timeline and the editor's play-by-play-commentary as he cuts scenes.
