The Art of the Edit: Finding Emotion, Pacing, and Your Style

In this premium After Hours episode, CJ and Aaron dive deep into
the craft of video editing, storytelling, and emotional pacing.
From struggling with edits that don’t match your vision to
learning how music and timing shape a viewer’s experience, this
is a raw and insightful conversation for anyone creating content.
They discuss their own learning curves, what makes or breaks a
scene, and how even a Seinfeld pan shot can spark a whole lesson
in storytelling. Plus, get a sneak peek at CJ’s new VHS-style
horror project—complete with glitch transitions, dusty overlays,
and a nod to retro-futurism.Topics: Video editing, Story pacing,
