Hey guys! I've gotten a few comments about editing feeling choppy, and that the clips popping up and down can be distracting. I've been trying to find a solution. Just "pausing" them takes so much more work than a lot of people realize, and can still cause problems with copyright, which defeats the purpose. I'm editing episode 5 right now, and tried a test clip using an overlay. I just wanted to see what you guys think--if it's better or worse, or if it doesn't make much difference to you. I'd appreciate any feedback! Thank you ❤️

Firefly Test Clip

I haven’t seen the clips be choppy, the bigger issue (at least for me), is the background noise. Some editing software might be needed.

Using the overlay looks good to me. It is a bit easier on the eyes compared to the cuts before.

To me it sounds like you have a fan on, or a window open. I assumed it was because of the heat. Since these are the episodes you filmed back in February , it might not be noticeable, but I can really tell in the newer reactions, like episodes 11+ and Logan.

I usually open my copy in a window over the copy you are playing so it doesn't affect me. I have not noticed the fan noise (could be computer) so I guess I have a more low-fi set up. Still, I enjoy your reactions and enjoy how much more of the story you pick up from the filming choices made. Cheers

Looked good didn't see any issues.

Jon Shanks

I saw a small glitch, but could be on my end

Dave Williams

There's an awkward cut at 0:21 that feels "glitchy". Other than that it works pretty well.

Bloo

had no problem with what you have been presenting up to now.

Bob Bittner

This is fine, but I had no issues with what you’ve been doing.

Dude Longcouch

I think both are fine, I honestly don't think I would care either way. I've had no issue with the way you've been doing it. I would say do it whichever way will be easier for you in the long term. Editing is a nightmare, and you'll never make everyone on Youtube happy anyway. It's an impossible task to cater to everybody.

Chris LaLonde

Strange. I have never noticed any choppiness.

I didn't see the previous editing as much of an issue. In fact, from what I've seen, that's the most common method on Youtube. That being said, I do agree with a previous commenter that the overlay is less jarring than the alternative. Plus the overlay still allows you to see the general gist of the scene. I remember seeing a reactor cut away from that one scene where Aragorn kicks the helmet and breaks his toe, ugh, broke my heart. At the end of the day, do what works best for you. There will always be people to complain and critique. You're doing great!

I was just fine with the prior editing style, but I think this also worked well.

I think this clip looks great…I didn’t have any problems with the previous YouTube clips, but the overlay is very subtle and effective.

If I'm watching a reaction video, I've already seen what's being reacted to. All I need is to know what part you are reacting to and your reaction. However you go about doing that is a matter of complete indifference to me. This seems fine.
