Hey Quentin, just come out the closet, nobody will judge you.

[eleonb]

[GiantEnemyCrab63]

in my eyes editing a film is probably one of the funnest things i can do

[bluesboy25000]

Watched this in my American Cinema class and I love it! Have so much respect for editors now.

[freeeeeemusic]

In the File Section of Aries-Films you can download everything you need to create your videos and go even further. Just google for Aries-Films

[Baerra92]

hey can somebody tell me what the name of the first symphony/track in this video is called. I've been looking all over for the title but I cant find it anywhere :)

[AiramS]

@Baerra92 It's from The Barber of Seville by Rossini.

[fredury]

Please, anyone, tell me, what is the movie Sean Penn is shown in at 1.54-2.08? I really need to know. I've searched imdb and found nothing on it.

[BR1ANm]

@fredury  not sean penn - it's roy scheider

[BR1ANm]

@BR1ANm

it may be 'All That Jazz'

[bbyfce49]

@fredury It is Roy Scheider in "All That Jazz". The editor of that film, ALan Heim, is the director of this film "The Cutting Edge". Penn is speaking of his work as a director in "The Crossing Guard" and "The Pledge".

[808baller808]

Very well said. That we would edit our lives if we had a chance

[WarriorSoulUSA]

[studio54jojo]

"they held a shot until they got bored . . ."

[Danetto]

wow great docuemtary

all the directors are in there: quentin, marty, steve...

amazing

[iancollatondaly]

When she says "editing can slow down time... or speed it up," a clip from raging bull is playing. Actually, in this clip it was the frame rate, not the editing that manufactured this effect. Perhaps I'm being over-critical here... I nonetheless this this is a great program.

[RockDeano]

Yes, it is the frame rate that achieves the visual effect of slow motion. But keep it mind, it was the editors choice to use this clip at that moment to create such impact. The director probably shot it at both a faster frame rate (typically 60fps) and the normal 24fps, and the editor chose when and how to use it. So while I don't think you're being over critical, I do the think that the editor is more responsible for creating moments than we sometimes give them credit for!

[murifilmpictures]

Wooow! This was so awesome! Love it!!!

[hypnotic230]

WOW!!

Thankyou so much for uploading this! Im a college student and my Film class has ended for the year, which is terrible for me because I just want to keep learning. So i really appreciate these videos! They're fascinating -> and jam packed full of lengendary directors! :D

[orgthingy]

Audacity for sounds

Open Movie Editor

DVD styler

ProjectX

Avidemux (GTK+)

[bolives]

Editing. . . if scripting is the heart of moviemaking, editing is the brain. Can't live without a brain.  It's my favorite part of filmaking after directing, and more complex then you may think. I'm favoriting this.

[giulioeditor]

sorry, but I wrong hands! nice comment, however

[4darin5]

You mean *favoring*.

There's no such word as "favoriting".

Good thing you enjoy editing, because it involves very little writing.

[goldlessbassist]

asshole

[misterhed]

On youtube you can "favorite" videos and save them on your profile. Don't be a prick.

[dAvrilthebear]

Tarantino was high in this one! )))

[Bouncybon]

@dAvrilthebear Come on! He's ALWAYS high!

[veronicaownsyou]

when editing comedies timing is EVERYthing. Editing is a world of possibilities made from a few simple clips. I LOVE IT

[0583257]

thanks for posting

[thxdts]

Great! I loved it!

[GoodFriendsForever]

ice pick is not cutting

[MrPerdition]

Most directors on movies of over 2 million in budget have the director in the editing room but asleep. They usually dropoff to dreamland during the 2nd to 4th cut. There directors who are exemptions to this but they're in the minority I think.

[AwsomeMan32795]

im only 13 and i love editing movies

i want to become a professional one

its just right now i have no software

except wmm so im working on buying director pro anyone know if thats a good program?

[iamchanin]

vegas by sony is great and affordable

[iago71]

Get a mac and go with Final Cut.

Or try and get an old copy of Avid Express that runs on PC if you dont have a Mac. Theyre both industry standard and you learn loads from both.

[giulioeditor]

I'm a editor. It's beautiful, and I work with my heart... sorry I don't speak english, I'm italian.

[4darin5]

You use your heart to work with?

I usually just use my hands and fingers.

[giulioeditor]

Hello!

Forgive my English scandalous, I will try to explain better. The editing, as I said, is a matter of heart: the hands and fingers are only the means, such as Avid or Moviola, the cuts do not come from there, but just from the heart. In short: You must enter into perfect harmony with the film.

Bye!! ;-))

[pjzamor88]

I agree wholeheartedly with what you've said. Filmmaking, in general, when done well comes from the heart. I'd be curious to know what you think of my own work. Come and check out my channel. I would love your opinion of it.

[thehunjo]

Is the director present while editing?

[jeleditor]

I used to edit vhs to my taste as a child. Now I am 21 and editing is my profession now. Great video

[kahutuwhare]

[newaccountforfilms]

Hahaha, this video is actually helping me with my A levels.

[emilyjeannoble]
