Best video about film editing?

September 10, 2022 11:05 AM

What's the most informative, elucidating, English-language single video (i.e. not a series) out there that demonstrates how a good editor can affect a film? Written articles are also ok if they contain illustrative video clips.

Best answer: This is not a comprehensive video on film editing, but I did learn a lot:

The cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing is a full movie about editing.

The Art of Editing and Suicide Squad is a fun an informative rip of the editing in that film.

How Does an Editor Think and Feel from the now-defunct Every Frame a Painting is a great example of this.

Response by poster: Thank you! I particularly liked the "Bohemian Rhapsody" one because of the way he actually fixed the poor editing.
