In my videos I edit for Ireland Boys Productions, there’s always some sort of challenge they go through that leads to an ultimate climactic moment. And as that moment leads up, as the editor, I want to be sure I’m adding tension before the big moment so viewers keep watching and the moment feels epic when it arrives. So here’s one easy, quick tip on what I do to add that tension and make the moment feel more grand. I start by choosing an epic / suspenseful music track that adds tension and leads up to a climactic moment. I sync up the climactic moment with the moment right before the winner of a challenge is revealed. This creates a moment of suspense where the audience is just waiting to hear who won. Now that the climax of the track is synced up with the moment right before the reveal, I take the current reactions of each contestant’s face and show them all before the answer is revealed. This instills curiosity into the mind and makes it more tense as the energy grows in the moment. This may be hard to understand over a post, but to better understand, I did this exact tip I’m referring to in this video here: https://youtu.be/QrcmaE_hMaA?si=tQfN_1jxwgmARIcC You can find two moments like this that I’m referring to at: 1. 25:24 2. 34:24 I edited this video and just finished it yesterday actually 😂 But as you can see, both moments I flashed different angles and the faces of each contestant before they won in sync with the music that leads to a climax. This created tension and a feeling of grandiosity, making the moment feel epic which is exactly what I was going for. Now answer these questions for me… was this post helpful?

What’s up y’all! I’m currently editing a video titled: “The Easy 5-Step Plan to $5K/Month as a Video Editor” This is my first video I’m posting on YouTube as an Editor teaching content and because of that I wanted to upgrade my skills. I’m not very well-experienced in creating extremely complex animations like the ones you see Iman Gadzhi’s videos but I have been practicing in this video and I’m excited to say I’ve created some really cool stuff that will help me be able to teach y’all how to do more complex animations. The video should hopefully come out relatively soon, but here’s the intro recorded from my phone, let me know what y’all think! If you have any questions as to how I created any of the animations, feel free to ask below 👇 Here’s the intro: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FUUNGSkjA7R9TOUrKauadyQVRByTIfw0/view?usp=drivesdk

🚨 I’ve been editing PrestonGoes’ videos for a while, and we want to free up more time in my editing process so I can turn out a 5-part series for Preston. I’m looking for someone willing to work with me on delivering simple rough cuts for Preston’s videos, which I’ll then refine—tightening pacing, cutting fluff, adding effects, music, sound design, color grading, and exporting. Opportunity Info: • Responsibility: Take 3-5 hours of footage and deliver a 40-60 minute ROUGH cut that tells the story of the video and provides the foundation I’ll build the edit from. This rough cut doesn’t need to be polished—just clips and moments in the right order for the story. Fast turnaround is essential. After I send the footage, I’d need the edit back within 24 hours, or 48 hours if there’s more time. • Salary: $200-$400 per video (at $400 per video, that’s $1400/week or $5600/month for straightforward work). • Experience: Seeking editors experienced in long-form, story-driven content. If your primary experience is in short-form educational content, this might not be the best fit. If you’re interested in straightforward work and developing your experience telling stories with bigger creators like PrestonGoes, DM me with “PrestonGoes,” and we’ll discuss further details!
