Great video! You mentioned almost everything I wanted to hear in this video. A few more tips that came to my mind: 1. If you use the same sound effect multiple times in quick succession, give each one of them a slightly different pitch. Makes it sound much more natural since no real sound is ever exactly the same. 2. When you want to switch between two shots where the focus is very far apart, you can use transitions to more smoothly guide the viewers attention from one point to the other. 3. Music Stems (14:04) are extremely useful and I just want to highlight it a bit more. Take the drums out and it'll sound more relaxed. Take the melody out and it'll sound more focused. Mixing and matching the stems can allow you to create multiple emotions with the same song and allow you to transition between songs much easier. Just to give you some examples. 4. The intro is where you need to show the "unique value" your video provides. Put 10 times more effort into the intro to prove to the viewer that the video is worth their time. What that unique value is depends on your content. For filmmakers that could be an amazing shot. For gamers that could be clips which showcase high-skill gameplay. 5. Avoid clear patterns and add variety. If your editing is predictable it's less interesting. If you're editing is fast-paced for a bit, maybe add a slower section. Use multiple music genres and explore different emotions. Watching a 10 minute video that has the same style of editing throughout can be hard to watch. By changing it up, you re-stimulate the viewer and can tell a good story much more easily.

Instructions back fired, viewers are too addicted to my videos and I can't stop.

Dude is LITERALLY giving us the SECRET SAUCE to editing! Take notes people!

Instructions unclear, I have been watching my own videos on loop for four weeks now.

I thought this would just be a generic advice on making hyperedited KZfaq slop, but this is actually some of the best advice ive ever seen

I wish I had this video back when I was starting. I was so mad because I had great content but wasn't getting any attention, any views. I felt like getting to 1000 subs was mission impossible. But after some time, I was lucky when I found out I could give my channel initial dose of subs, just enough to start getting noticed more and more. I got myself a first couple hundred subs very fast (I have personally used a bit of Famester), and after that my main channel gained a ton of organic traffic day after day.

Instructions unclear: 57 of my viewers overdosed on my videos and i am being investigated by the authorities

This kid is gonna be big.

It's crazy to me how much of a understanding this guy has on viewers and there perspective, just goes to show that he's knowledgeable

damn, unironically the best video about youtube video editing I watched this week.

What is so impressive about this video is, that he is not just repeating the same generic advice but he actually proves what he presents by hooking you into his own advice video that you watch til the end. That was really impressive

This is the ULTIMATE VIDEO EDITING CRASH COURSE for Aspiring Video Editors. I have never seen such powerful video editing tutorial in the whole KZfaq Community. Thank you Leo for providing this for FREE ❤

Actually the only “tutorial” worth watching, not only do u tell us how to use something, u say when, and give examples in the video, and now I understand editing

Watching this while taking a sh*t is crazy

this editing is so good i can't stop. im addicted. i need help. please someone puttme in contact with a therapist.

Every beginner needs to watch this video 10/10

your going to blow up soon bro. the algorithm is going to do it's thing

This guy is underrated, he provides so much value that I can’t blink my eye to finish this video. Keep it up my man.

Probably the best advice ive ever seen on youtube. Not only is it incredibly well made, but it is extremely useful information. Ill be keeping this in mind in the future. Ive been feeling a bit sluggish lately with my editing, like it needed something more, and you just shined light on exactly what i was missing. Thank you!

Dude just dropped the best tutorial on editing I've ever seen and with a pace and tone that feels like you're watching a Movie. This is so good.

What i have learned so far is that editing mostly doesn't make your videos entertaining, THE SCRIPT DOES, A Good Script + Decent Editing IS A MASTERPIECE

I agree 100% that music and sound effects is VERY important. Sometimes I spend hours searching for the perfect music !!! Glad to have found your channel 😀

Finally, a video talking about editing that didn't just say "cut out the deadspace" over and over again.

Get a load of this guy! You’re killing it my dude 💯!!! Keep up the hard work 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I've been subscribed to you since around 5K, glad to see you grow.

Lots of good info! I love how you start with the whole "this ain't your standard cut tool tutorial" explanation. I have the skills and know-how. THIS is what I needed! Thank you!

This is actually incredible, ive never watched a more engaging tutorial than this omg

This guy is underrated he deserves 1 million subscribers I mean look at him his editing style is impressive, and excellent that he keeps me engage in long periods of time

Bro you just demonstrated why coaches are coaches. That is a great video that can teach someone so much about editing in not even 15 minutes. Well done👏

This is AMAZING. The sound design is just remarkable! Thank you so much for the free assets you've linked! Glad I stumbled upon your channel! 😊😊

Genuinely one of the best editing videos I've seen on youtube. Very well done young man. Thank you!

Love how you take a more birds eye view perspective on the philosophy of editing, it's refreshing compared to so much that's on KZfaq. And thanks for sharing your presets and sound effects!!

I'm surprised how much knowledge you have about editing and how good and informative your videos are. I follow many editors; surprisingly your channel and Film Booth are the most effective ones. Thank you for The sound effects you provided in the link. All the best, chap.

Your videos are so addicting and so helpful man. I've been trying to find good videos on learning video editing for so long but this is truly one of the best. I can't believe this is free as well. Thank you for this super informative video. I hope your channel blows up!

this is crazy, this is like liquid gold. Bless you man

Legit one of the best videos about editing on KZfaq. Great vid man

Your few videos that you made for this channel are extremely OP, on top of you having past experiences and success with your Terraria content

Thanks for all the great information! I appreciate you putting some of the pillars into the actual chapter titles, it is so refreshing to immediately know what is in the chapter instead of having clickbaity chapter titles. I'll definitely be back for future uploads!

like a whole uni module in one video, it was great the way you used the techniques with utility and demonstrability. I rate it

The actual editing of this video was just as, if not more explanatory than the actual words you used, so great job on that. Personally, my editing starts before I even open up the editing software. While scripting a video, I will visualize and write down what kind of editing I want, from what graphics should be on screen to how they transition in to the sound effects used, and more. For the style of video I make/want to make, I find this is really useful for solidifying how I want to convey things to the viewer and piecing the elements together mentally. Never underestimate planning!

You're truly goated already after just 4 uploads... that's next level man keep it up

Brother, you are a LEGEND. I've been wanting to start a KZfaq channel and was collecting a lot of this information over the years, but its REALLY nice to have it all sorted in one place like you did in your video. And especially looking at it in practice with your style, its amazing. Keep up the good work!

EXACTLY what I want from a youtube tutorial, the basic tips or advice is easy to find and everyone interested knows them already, this is the advice not talked about as often that actually is helpful to upcoming creators

its cool to see you use your own tips! it helps a ton to implement them!

dude just want to thank you, your channel was one of the first I've watched when I started my channel and I have 40M views now and 40k subs, your help is much appreciated

Absolutely wonderful video. My favorite KZfaq videos are when the editing has that balance and immersion. Editing isn’t about being fast paced as you said, but every moment counts and is an opportunity.

I love your not forcing the full payment upfront I can’t wait to attend your class man thanks for the info binging your channel at work with my notebook your a goat my friend ❤️

Learned from King Leo and now my viewers are high for my videos and gave me 10000% retention

my guy is the editing genius

THANK YOU SO MUCH YUSDGADHASDH i've been looking for this forever. all the other channels just repeat the same information over and over again, so to see a hidden gem like this is amazing!

MY MAN JUST CRUSHED IT. Nice video editing tutorial. It is not just tutorial for some random video but for also how to make your viewers engaged with your masterpieces. Good job, thanks.

you're an absolute genius

I'm favoured, $60K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.

your video was incredible. thank you. I love how you show PERFECT examples then break them down.

I’m so glad I found your channel. Amazing. God bless you

Super valuable information presented in an engaging way. Great vid!

Born to be a famous youtuber, forced to watch editing tutorials.

Wow dude thank you so much for this video. I think this is the single most informative video about editing ive ever seen, keep it up bro

thanks for such a great and detailed video, especially the audio part! Never paid attention to audio part, you are great man!

This it great

Don’t do drugs kids

You're channel is blowing up because your content is insanely valuable, keep it up

Thanks for so many helpful tips to up my game. And also for the free presets and audio. You're the man!

how old are you? meant for greatness

holy hell, this guy knows it all! this is one of the *best* videos I've _ever_ seen on youtube that gives the most powerful advice for editing. you have no idea how excited i am to try these.

How come all the “how to be amazing at KZfaq” creators have the smallest channels???

you mastered your craft so well that I could watch your type of videos all day. best video editing crash course that I have ever seen

I love how you broke this down and showed everything this is great I always find myself looking to learn more this was one of the best video I saw telling how to hook people up!

Your editing is so good. I'm starting in my youtube journey and editing is one of my biggest flaws. Your tips are gold! God Bless you, brother!

Im so sad that your assets are adobe not davnci lol

I have been researching this topic for months, I stopped creating content for my online store and now I found your video. This is the single most valuable and useful video on this topic ever. Not only does it teach you exactly what to do, and tell you exactly where to get free resources, it applies the techniques as you talk about them and you become aware of how it affects your engagement to the video. You can watch this video multiple times to study each of the aspects mentioned and see the effect they add. I work in marketing and I will send this to any clients that want to handle making their own content. It really is a master guide in just 14,5 minutes.

Dude this exactly the kind of information I needed. Well done. Thank you!

“I’m not sponsored but there’s an affiliate link in the description…” 🙄

These same tricks you use to sell your own course/service 😂

Holy shit what a banger man, literally took the essentials to making a banger video and compressed it into 15 minutes, keep it up Leo!

The most awesome tip for me was adding perspective and glowing to the b-roll. This is amazing! Thx a lot

Great video! It's so interesting to see you talking about editing while you are actually implementing these techniques at the exact same moment :D

An absolute goldmine of information. Well done.

Really like your video style, Leo! Lots of valuable information in this 🔥

You are a true educator, thanks Leo ! Very important key points. It's all stuff I've noticed in my videos, i'm improving them, and this video helped me more to see clearly some of the stuff I didn't like, thanks!

VERY NEW youtuber here. I so appreciate and respect the initial advice that for all the "formulas" its not one way fits all! I often feel overstimulated by super fast talking with no pauses in between. Especially in a "how to" video. I tune out and jump off that video fast. I see that advice given everywhere. Similarly I see one size fits all advice on adding music. I truly think knowing who we are and who our viewers are/what they come for is HUGE! I see myself as an over-explainer. Not always great in life, but for the viewer who digs me, it will probably be THAT thing! Its what works for me. Its why every business I've done succeeded. But that's not saying that its the right thing for a different youtuber. I will watch this video many times. It is a hair more stimulating than I like, but times in a way I can handle.🧚‍♀️💜💜💜

LEO! You sir are a legend! Thanks so much for putting in the time to make this video mean alot

Some absolute gems of info here, thank you sir.

This video feels like one of those private classes you'd pay for. Amazing.

Finally one video that actually helps. Thank You SOO MUCH!!!

Pure gold! Saved to my favorites! Subscribed! Thanks!

So so happy I discovered your channel!!! Definitely going to start applying what i've learnt!

Probably one of the best editing tips video I've seen, very effective and on the point, but not too fast :D

This was SO incredibly helpful! Thank you 🙏

I love how you implement your own advices in real time on this video

these tips are things i apply subconsciously by looking at what the content creators are doing. i never knew the logic behind this but finally i get to understand it deeper.

The fact that he has only 4 long form videos but sooo many views and subscribers, tells a lot about his knowledge & editing practice! He is genuine and doesn't give the same generic advice as other KZfaqrs. I would also like to add that he kills it with scriptwriting as well. While I find this editing process quite complicated, I am taking notes of it :) Thank you bro!

yo, not even gonna lie, awesome video. Touched upon everything in a short time, gave valid examples and provided resources 10/10

I already have some editing knowledge, and recently started this channel, I barely decided to watch this video but am incredibly glad I did, this is one of the best editing videos I’ve ever seen.

Lifelong self taught editor here: this is HUGE. Thank you, this is helping pass through the “what am I missing” hump. This will be a study guide for the next few weeks. Thank you!

Probably the best video I've seen on editing on KZfaq. Hopefully a new generation of hungry editors with your assets emerges in the next few months :)

This is actually amazing advice, keep it up.

Thank you bro, appreciate the hard work. Keep it up 🔥🤺

This video is itself a great example of engaging editing. I like how the upcoming tips are "teased" with a blur filter, immediately makes you curious to stay and see what they are. Kind of reminds me of an RPG game map with destinations that are locked, or a fighting game with a silhouette image on the locked characters.

Great video man 👍I got 4 pages of notes so far and I’m gonna rewatch cause there’s so much in this video. Thanks man keep doing your thing
