The Friday Roundup – When to Cut and VideoStudio Effects

Humorous image relating surgical cuts to video editing cuts.

Editing vs Real Life – What Drives the Cut?

This is a fairly intense deep dive into where and why you should be making editing cuts in your projects.

If you look around online you can find lots of information about how to make cuts in many different ways.

In fact they go into detail as to what the effect is on each one of them.

What you rarely find is guidance on when the cut should occur and why it should be at that point.

What I mean by that is let’s say you have two shots back to back.

The question is when should you end the first shot and when to begin the second to achieve what you want or to achieve maximum effect.

New AI Smart Cutout – Wondershare Filmora 12

Over the years basic video editing software like Filmora began offering the ability to use masking to achieve rudimentary effects and overlays.

These were often in the form of masks that could not really be manipulated all that much until final they added the ability to draw masks by hand.

This was all very well but it was still a pretty clunky system when it came to video because frame by frame the mask would lose its position.

The next step was to add motion tracking to the masking and that way masks could follow the object that was chosen and although not perfect was at least way less time consuming than anything before… until now.

With the advent of a range of A.I. driven features in many video editors we have finally come to a point where masking is an almost “set and forget” action.

Check out the new feature in Filmora 12.

Simple YouTube Strategies to Start Growing Again

One aspect of starting a YouTube Channel is that if you stick to the basic rules you will usually kick off quite easily up to a certain number of subscribers and views.

However for most people there will be a point where that initial growth will just seem to stop for no reason at all.

How They Make over $20,000 per Month from Affiliate Marketing

As is usually the case with the guys from Primal Video this is a very realistic appraisal and rundown of how they generate income from affiliate marketing.

The affiliate space often gets a bad rap by people who have gone into it without really understanding it or as Justin says, they go into it with the intention of making money.

That last statement is probably the most important.

If you promote what you use or believe will benefit your audience regardless of the commission on offer you will do way better in the long run.

That’s how they do it and the results are there to be seen.
