Hey guys, I'm trying to learn some new video techniques I've seen you guys use. One of which is the "choppy" effect I've seen quite a few people use but most recently seen in the "Respect Miz" MV at 1:02
I've always wanted to use this technique myself and have tried to perfect it, but I nearly always end up with something way too disjointed and harsh on the eyes. There have been instances where I get something that does look good, but its mainly with moves rather than what I want which is entrances and poses.
Is there a certain trick to this? Like getting a decent transistion that doesn't get noticed but helps smooth the gap between clips? Or is it just playing around with the clip until you get it spot on? And I know not to switch cameras/go for too long a gap but is there a certain time limit for this gap or does it all come down to the movements in the video.
I'm working with Sony Vegas 7.

I don't get what your trying to get. Are you talking about the audio in the video or the effect he used on the video at 1:02? If it's the video he probably just keyframed cookie cutter and some color changes from what I saw. If your talking about the part the comes after it he just got the specific clip, cut a few seconds off of it, then placed it, then cut a few seconds off of it again. Not sure if that made sense but essentially what your he is doing is syncing to those three beats using the same clip.

Yeah its the cutting and synching I'm after, I've tried it for ages but everytime I try it with wrestlers posing (rather than moves), it just seems to be very disjointed (rather than just abit jittery which is what seems to work best) and very harsh on the eyes.
Was just wondering if there was an easy technique to it or whether it is all just about playing around until you crack it.

I don't think there's really a technique so to say. You just need to find the right clip for that type of stuff. Don't use a clip where the wrestler moves around a lot since it's probably gonna come out all messed up.

Ok cool, I know it might seem real simple to you guys, but I've had problems with it and just wanted to double check I was doing it right.
