What does a pro editor do that a junior doesn't?
You’ve probably heard that good editing is invisible. It’s one of the reasons you are able to tell when something has been edited by a junior or a pro. But what are those subtle differences that are so imperceivable to the conscious mind? What tips, tricks and techniques does a pro use to manipulate the audience and make the edit feel so polished?
In this episode of The Video Editing Podcast you will learn 7 surprising considerations pros utilise to create powerful edits.
To learn how to tell a story without any dialogue, join me in Unsplice Pro on February 24th at 16:00 GMT for a live workshop. You will learn how to use footage to tell a story, without relying on dialogue. Watch some examples, implement the lessons, and get feedback on your edits. All within the Unsplice platform.
Unsplice helps you escape mundane work by training you to become a career video editor so that you can take back control of your time and say yes to work you enjoy, wherever you want to do it.
The focus of our training is not to learn how to cut one film, but to prepare you for life as a professional non-scripted career editor. Everything from the moment you receive the footage to the moment of delivery; including how to find work that brings you joy, and do work to the best of your ability.
Unsplice Pro teaches you the exact step-by-step process you need to find freelance work in the shortest time possible, whilst still juggling your full time commitments.
