    J CUTS ARE MY FAVOURITE! Also, how many times did I say story in this video?

    +100 respect points for using the term 'techniques' instead of 'hacks'.

      Thank you! Hacks is not only grossly overused but an ugly-sounding word as well. Sounds like a person trying to clear their throat.

    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!

    Audio is the element that holds EVERYTHING together in the edit. Great video

    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!

    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.

  • @Dmogul
    @Dmogul Před 5 lety +4

    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.

    • @BeckiandChris
      @BeckiandChris  Před 5 lety +1

      Dmogul thanks! I’m also a visual learner so I need to see something to really make sense of it. Glad it was helpful!

  • @MelindaDavison
    @MelindaDavison Před 5 lety

  • @jimnasium1957
    @jimnasium1957 Před 5 lety +2

    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!

  • @InspiredLivingwithKristi

    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!!

    BBBBBBBBBECKI! Love your videos! And Chris is pretty cool too! ;) J and L cuts are dope. I think you used them sooo perfectly here and I like them a lot better in vlogs/documentaries as transitions than I do in feature films. I just feel that they look better. Great job and I'll be looking to try to incorporate more J&L cuts in my videos as a challenge! Becki&ChrisJ&Lcutchallenge. it's gonna be a thing.
