Transcript
Why does my videos look so choppy? Because they're cutting them incorrectly. Ow, there's nothing hard about it. All I need to do Is cut whenever the next person is talking? Yeah, so what should I do instead? Well, you can cut to the other person before I finish talking. No the audience can see my reaction. Exactly. Or I can start talking before you cut to me, just like how I did it right now. Woah, I didn't see that. This is called the j cut and the l cut. It helps you cut more smoothly. God bless you.
