For editors, there is a massive opportunity. Creators aren’t just making videos anymore. They’re building worlds, characters, series—and bringing their audiences with them. As YouTubers become the next generation of showrunners, they’ll need editors who can do more than cut cont

Cutting from a medium wide shot to a medium close-up and then bouncing back again creates what editors call a ping-pong edit. Once the audience starts noticing the pattern, they're paying attention to the editing instead of the story.

Editors: Learn why keeping 'imperfections' like soft focus or camera drift creates an authenticity that perfectly polished shots can't match.

I've been seeing a lot of editors struggle with the same problem: they want to break into narrative work, but they don't have strong reel or a clear path. I've finally put together something to help you develop skills, a portfolio, and playbooks to target interesting new film and doc directors.

Watch my full video on my YT channel, THIS GUY EDITS - Great video and film editors avoid ping pong editing - where you cut back and forth between the same angles in a scene. Pick your moments intentionally. What are you saying to the audience with each shot?

If you're a video editor who wants to pivot into feature films, TV, documentaries, or story-driven editing, I'm building something for you. The goal isn't just to learn more theory. It's to build the kind of editing skills and portfolio that help you get noticed by directors.

Most editors fall into this narrative trap. You’re essentially making TWO versions of every film. You need to show one version two the director first, but that's not the one you should cut first.
