Top Comments of this video!! :3
Great video! Here's a breakdown of what I took from each lesson,
1. Know when NOT to cut. Be present and keep your ego in check.
2. Edit to what YOU want. The director will come later and make changes.
3. Trust the process, your changes will be addressed if the film requires.
4. Be a collaborator.
5. Editing is a process of REVISION. You'll need to go back and edit what you edit.
6. Organization = editing. Compartmentalize the smaller chunks.
7. How do you make it as an editor? JUST START EDITING. Cut what you can, as often as possible.
8. Ask yourself, how does your scene affect the overall story? Make adjustments to keep it cohesive.
9. Use reaction shots wisely. Usually it's more interesting to show who's listening rather than who's speaking.
10. Study the why during editing. Make choices intuitively but know the analytical reason why you cut it that way in the first place.

I think another important part for any person in this industry (including editors) is to always have an answer to the question of "WHY?". If somebody asks why did you cut there or why you shot like that, you shouldn't answer "because I felt that was needed", you should always have a clear (sometimes analytical answer) explaining WHY. Always be prepared to have answers to that question as you start your day and you'll do fine.
