AwakeGunbladegod i hate this normal speed to slow speed shit that people edit in frag videos.
most inappropriate thing i ever heard about editing, it isn't even "slow motion" it's velocity, it can go from cutting clips, adjusting the composition ,speeding up till a certain point, rewinding, fastening slowly, brusquely , stopping the clip and even using flat spots to make the clip fit the music,
It takes a lot of time to master and isn't the easiest part of editing at all,
You can use cinematics between shots to break the tempo, sync on the up part of a sound or the down part of it, you can sync on offbeats, or do it exactly on the beats synch the reload, synch the weapon draw....
You cant categorize "slowing down the clip" as an effect. it's what build the flow apart from distortions and pan crop.
if you take of the velocity out of any of theses edits, they would look so flat you couldn't handle to watch them for more than three seconds, it's what separate a "frag show" or a "frag movie" from an edit, you can dislike edits but if you dont even understand the Principe of "Flow" then just say edits are not your thing
