One of my favourite new editors to follow on Twitter is @worsteditorever<\/a> whose special brand of advice is worth every penny you’ve paid for it – nothing!<\/p>\n

Most of this video editing advice<\/strong> can simply be reversed to find a vital truth that might be new to you if you’re just getting started. If you’re a seasoned pro hopefully you can enjoy these tweets for what they are – someone having a good laugh, and nailing a few video editing inside jokes.<\/p>\n

Scored amazing gig. No pay for now but the guy is studio connected and told me there’s tons of stuff coming down the pipeline. Cannot wait.<\/p>\n

Always open a scene with a wide shot. Your audience needs to know what room we’re in.<\/p>\n

Amazing coincidence! The numbers on the clapper board exactly match the numbers in the video timecode. What are the odds?<\/p>\n

Two hands right? Two mouses. Ditching the cumbersome keyboard for more efficient non linear digital video editing.<\/p>\n

So apparently they said “thirty second spot” not thirteen second spot. I told her to play it twice and mailed in my invoice. #firetheclient<\/a><\/p>\n

Never, ever upgrade NLE during a project. That’s why I’m still on FCP 5.5 HD.<\/p>\n
