In this video, I break down the 7 essential editing cuts I’ve come to rely on over 15 years of editing , from commercial work to personal YouTube videos. These aren’t trendy transitions or viral editing tricks. They’re the kinds of cuts that actually serve the story, helping your videos feel smoother, more emotional, and more connected.

I’ll show you how I use them, why they work, and how even subtle editing choices can completely change the rhythm and impact of your story. So if you’ve ever watched your timeline back and thought, “Something feels off, but I don’t know what…” this is the video that will help you fix that.

And if you want extra support, from writing to shot planning to editing, I just added a new 7 Cuts Guide inside the Story Starter Kit. Grab it here: https://stan.store/timrunia/p/storykit
