I started intending to give a couple of editing tips and tricks, and couldn't resist giving a bunch of editing AND video tips and tricks for anyone making videos. As always, I keep describe each trick and tip IN PLAINE ENGLISH and supply the visual example so you can apply these to you own videos and be more successful. I do hope these help you make better films and videos, and if so, please let me know!
