    I really love how viewers welcomed with the cool video transition for the opening of this video. But i think it is not just the zoom transitions, but also with the right drop track that give you the rush as the viewers. Awesome job!

    wow. you´re just making everything right man ! that´s the way how People should be teached to do Things they want. Not a technical receipt, but an idea an Feeling on how to do it, without telling excatly what to do. I really like this, because now you have to figure out how to get it right for you yourself and thats great ! On top of that the last part in the Programm is also not to detailed...but you also give the opportunity too, by linking to the Tutorial. So big congrats for finding a niche style of KZread Teaching ! greetings from Germany and keep the cool work... Be inspired by your travel :)

    The advice to use transitions between shots that are connected (forest / trees) was super helpful. I was putting transitions between unrelated shots and wondering why it felt like “too much”. Needed that advice! Thank you for these videos. PS as a beginner I’m doing everything manually on my phone using ishot app. So need to hack some of the transitions to get the same effect as a real editor.

    Hey Thomas, while I love your thinking with the angle of the wave and where/how it crushes, I believe you should have taken the sun as „anchor“. just moving the zoomed-in crop a bit to the left would have made it smoother IMO, now it‘s a bit jumpy. Your principle still holds true though. Thanks for your efforts in creating such videos. You have a good way to teach
