Listen up, filmmakers and CZcams creators. If you think hitting virality is a one-way ticket to success, think again.
Ever had that golden moment where one of your videos hit the jackpot? Millions of views, an explosion of new followers - you felt invincible. But then your follow-up videos tanked, and those new followers? Ghosts.
Failure stings, doesn’t it? That’s where I come in.
This isn’t just your sob story. @DangieBros know the drill - they crashed and burned in the aftermath of their viral hit because their storytelling and video editing were grade F. I’m here to dissect that disaster and trust me, I won’t be gentle.
If you're desperate to not just hit the viral jackpot but actually stay on top, it’s time for a reality check. Learn the brutal truths of storytelling and video editing that nobody else has the guts to tell you. Welcome to the school of hard knocks, where failure is the best teacher and I’m your no-nonsense guide.
Want to be a filmmaker or CZcams creator who doesn’t just bask in 15 minutes of fame but actually masters the art of viral content? Stick around. Your education is just beginning.
I'm Hayden Hillier-Smith. On this channel I will break down what makes good editing...pulling back the curtain on how editors make the choices to keep YOU, THE AUDIENCE, engaged. This includes showcasing the creative choices I have made. I hope you can learn something new and inspire you to edit.

Incredible video, this is SUPER helpful!
FOR SURE
This is awesome, I wonder if Hayden does a weekly Podcast that talks about Editing like this...
ya! I wonder when he will start doing podcasts.🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂
Well if you make reacts Hillier to videos with a great idea but bad editing bad music bad conflict
He does the editors podcast.. it’s good too!!
Probably not, I doubt he's that cool
Got to love his confidence, especially for a dude that production houses use as "the poster child of what not to do" 😂
I love this format. Critiquing an already published video is a really effective way to make the narrative techniques and lessons hit home.
They should just do the same series again with these lessons. That series has good potential.
Yeah
Absolutely
I think this really highlights how little trust many creators have in their potential audience. It can cause us to want to rush through a story for fear that if we don't, we lose their attention. You're doing a great job at combatting this mindset that I think many of us have.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I'm just finishing project and I feel like it is boring... Omg this came at the right time 😃 It motivated me to make it better! Thank you ☺
Definable hard to get a video edited and time consuming. I find your videos extremely helpful! My videos have noticeably got better from applying your suggestions! Thank you for your content!
Your really good at what you do & we appreciate these videos. I'm trying to get better. I love it
Hillier is an editing and story telling prodigy. His brain just does this seemingly without effort.
its frustrating huh lol. watching him make it look so easy.. and also having the "oh yeah duh!" moments.. knowing we could never
It feels effortless because he's put in countless hours of work to get here. His effortless critique is the product of experience.
@@WrestlingColin True! But I could put in those countless hours and I am quite certain I would never even get close to what he is able to do. Techincally I'm sure I could learn all the editing software but in terms of HOW to use them best and the storytelling well that is akin to artist talent. I could spend 10,000 hours learning to paint or write songs but I won't be Picasso or the Beatles. So you need the hours and the innate artistic talent combined. The top influencers were smart. They realized they don't need to be editing and storytelling geniuses. They just need Hillier.
I would cherish time spent learning your wisdom as you roast my videos. I got a couple of viral-ish videos but I know I'm lacking. Your content has really inspired me and I'm super glad you're sharing this knowledge. Thank you. Cheers J
Now this should be a series!
This is the best series he do on his channel!!!! Not only is it beneficial for the creator but viewers as well
thank you for coming back
found this video so useful😭
Thanks to your videos, I've written about 4 notebooks already.
That's great! Appreciate seeing you in here Peter
Your course was totally amazing thank you so much for that 🙏🙌🚀
under rated comment- Creator Now Gang is the goat
These types of breakdowns are my favorite particularly like when you explain how it could be better then actually show a new example edit of what you mean.
Insanely helpful! Thank you so much for keep making videos of this kind to help us all improve.
This is fantastic! I’ve always done animation so I have more background in that area, but I’ve recently started a personal channel with me on camera, and I’m just bingeing your videos to learn more. Keep them coming!
I should really pay more attention to my edit.
Same here
This video is insane. Thank you so much for the free knowledge 🙏
Genuinely appreciate all the free value you provide. Thank you.
This is some next level gem type of video, love it.
amazing video, content and tips for video editing giving a bit of "tension" to the viewer!
Hope to see something like this more often in the future.
Well done Hillier!
Great advertisement segment. One of the best I’ve seen.
i think these break down are so helpful! please break down more videos like this
When I see a notification that Hillier uploaded, I know it's going to be another video full with great and useful ideas! Thank you Hillier! I love those roasting videos!
Please make more of these vids where you critique influencer's editing. I LOVE these. It's the most concrete way I learn from you, other than your mistakes vids. Thx.
Justin
like always, HillierSmith is just the best video editor EVER!
The way you analyze things is just on an insane level haha. When you mention things it's like oh Doh 💡💡
Yes! More content from the GOAT of editing on CZcams! Excited for this one.
I'm starting to develop an inner-Hillier voice, and I like it. Great stuff man, now to just get myself to stop binging your content and finish these next few videos.
This is amazing, thanks for sharing!
Hayden this was awesome!! So much value, keep them up
Love you Hillier! Great roast. Awesome thumbnail + title on this one bro! You are killing it as always. Keep it up man
this is my favourite format of yours
Thank you for a very informative video. This really helps me see the levels to this game and makes me understand how to be better. Much love HIllier, hopefully one day we will cross paths.
Love it, hope you make another "roasting" video like this, with or without the guest who make that video.
Some really great advice. Thank you good sir.
Very instructive video ! Thx
this guy is the god of editing
god i love how he advertised lickd on this video
It's really helpful. Thank you
Been waiting for one of your videos for so long, welcome back Hillier! Sick editing live the other day in Creator Now BTW, love the platform
😊
Super Helpful
your course was SO great
honestly.
just like this video.
Legendary! Well done HillierSmith!😊
This is such an amazing video man.... plz do more of these!!!!!
Wow, never heard about Lickd before. I'll definitely look into that!
All well said. Great video!
Awesome video. Really enjoyed watching this! Both entertaining and informative.
amazing video. more of these would be great!
So much to learn ❤
NICE INFO MAN. THANKS.
I don't throw this word around often but, THIS IS GENIUS. Thank you
This video is very inspiring and helpful. Thanks for sharing this experience. 🔥
This is actually awesome to see it broken down on a deeper level
YAY NEW UPLOAD!!
I could still remember watching his old YT channel Clash with Cam
I really love your videos, thanks a lot.
the ability to see the problem and have solutions,to how it can be better is on another level. True master of his craft.
Very Informative.
So good!
Love the South Park reference around 16 mins in “but” this happened “therefore” this happens. Biggest shift for me for story telling
GREAT VIDEO, I just realized they were in Santa Clarita for this video.
Never knew about lickd. 😮 great video too btw
Loved this vid!
Very helpful video, I'll try to use more storytelling in my next video
Just an awesome video, don't remember learning this much from a single video before.
That was incredibly useful feedback.
Haydens bootcamp checking in!! get the F off my rock!!!
"......I didn't get the point." 😂😂
there's levels to this! Gems
Value. Thanks!
This is incredible! Thanks for this video 🙏 Now i need to figure out how to apply it to cooking videos 😂😂
Hayden youre a genius. Perhaps the genre of these Challenge vids are cooling off a bit.
Hey Hayden, love your editing breakdown and work on the editing podcast, I hope I will become a professional video editor like you.
Great insight and interesting ideas. Thanks for the video! Stay safe, have fun! 👍👌
99% credit should be editor's for a viral video. Now I know.
This video is worth millions, literally
Dude! I need your course access asap
I love this!
How low the guy hunting’s energy is really brings more attention to how much energy Mrbeast has in his videos
I love how these videos roast their editing, and my editing at the same time lol
Clash with Cam!!
TENSION!!
Back at it again
Learning editing through these vids
Hayden, write a book. Upcoming youtubers need your knowledge.
It’s not working for me. I went viral then a stupid new CZcams policy came out and I got demonetized because of that updated policy.
this was such an informative video! i'd love to buy your course once i can afford it, but these videos are absolute gems considering they're free :)
Was your intro added on at some point? Or was it intentional from the beginning?
I feel like it's a clunky way to say what you said.
Can't wait to watch this one!
Amazing
When is your course opening back up?
Really great video make these kind of videos more
An example that came to mind 4:42 an example of what you're talking about that came to mind is James Bond. In the movies they always have a scene where he gets his fancy arsenal and we get an explainer of what happens. You get to latch onto it and have something to think about. You know he has a fancy laser watch or a car missile or something and you want to see how he's gonna use it. Also in anime they always delegate a lot of time to establishing a new characters strength.
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME. What a bad ass idea. So happy I subbed.
Who else is devouring the sheer wisdom of this man???
Thank you for this and i just had one request about how you would edit the perfect gaming video.
Love these as always
🎉🎉🎉Yayyyyyyyyyyy!
When are you opening up your course again? Please I’d love to join
