4 cuts you need to improve your editing. Number one, hard cut. This is the most simple one on the list. One clip ends, the other begins. For example, I say, I just finished the call with my team. Let me show you how it went. So the second clip will be me in the team call. Number two, J-cut. You hear the audio of the next scene first before you see the visuals. For example, this is scene one. But you're already hearing my voice before the editor cuts to scene two. Number three, match cut. This is where two or more clips are connected using shape movement or composition. You can see that we're switching into different Stanley cups, but they're in the same exact position. And number four, cut on action. Right now, I'm speaking to you from this camera, but if I want to switch to this angle, that's what I just did. So the cut happened as I was turning my head.
