Transcript

These are my three go to edits that I absolutely live by. Number one, the split frame edit. I do this all of the time. 99% of the time I'm shooting on my tripod, so my shots are always very, very static. And with the split frame edit, it takes that to a whole new level. I just love the way it looks. It's super clean. It takes a very simple shot and just elevates it. Number two, the flicker effect. I absolutely love this effect. I think it's super clean. It's a great way to start your video. Great visual good. Just looks really, really cool. And last but not least, masking. I use a lot of masking when I'm doing my split frame edits, whenever I want to be in front of any sort of text as you can see tier, and it's just super super clean. There are so many different ways you can use yes, so masking is definitely up there. My name is Khalil. Follow worse some more cool stuff.
