[00:02] on social media, I have learnt this thing that sometimes if you do boring editing in the video, then not only the video flops, but sometimes even that video flops in which a lot of editing has been done. Added emoji every two seconds, added super,
[00:17] added effects, added transitions, added some sound effects. Brother, the viewer gets completely frustrated and if he is watching that video on television, then he immediately skips the video. You don't listen to me. You should check out Mr Beast's
[00:32] channel. He is the biggest YouTuber in the world. Apart from this, watch Netflix brother, it is the biggest OTT. He also does crazy type of editing. But we do only as much as is needed. Look, if you think that if you
[00:48] do a lot of editing, it becomes over editing. This does not impress the audience. Because editing is not impress the audience. Because editing is so that someone watches your video completely. [Music] But if you over-edit,
[01:03] bro, that video will be skipped immediately. Therefore, do not get into too much editing but work on presenting the information you are giving in the video in the right manner. If the editing is normal, normal means that only
[01:19] as much editing is done where required, then the video will become a hit and if you do over editing, then sometimes it will and if you do over editing, then sometimes it will flop because of that.
