Feedback Requested: Is the editing at 17 seconds hack? Most of the video is short clips that hit on the beat, but then there's the part where the synth comes in at 17 seconds and it feels like it needs a longer cut, but still hit on the beat. Should I zoom in the alternate clips to differentiate them more? This is only part of the video. Yes I'm making music videos about my dead raccoons. It took a long time for me to be able to do this. Mostly getting over them emotionally, but also not having

a computer fast enough and with enough storage to not make editing a pain. It's helping me brush up on my editing and content management skills - something I had once, but back in 2004-2008 during the pre-HD days of Final Cut Pro and miniDV formats. What I'm saying is that I'm really happy I dropped nearly $4k on a computer to spend a month editing cute raccoon videos.

Any input on the editing?

For those of you who are sick of raccoons - I'm sorry. It's a phase and I know it's intense but I have a feeling it won't last much longer and I'll latch onto something else. Until spring when the raccoons come back.

I think the whole highly edited jump cut music video thing tends to be more if you are going for a kind of epic vibe. For casual cute stuff like this I don't think it matters as much. This is probably fine.

True. Im just trying to make it watchable enough to get people to that point in the video to begin with.

Yeah. TBH idk how to best do pet content. But I think this is a bit long for a short/reel.

This isn't for a reel or short. It's for practice, but also to show my mom when she asks what I've been doing for the past month and what I've accomplished.

I'll also put it on regular YouTube so when people search for the song there will be the regular version but also a raccoon version available.

Ah okay, then it's really whatever u feel is best man lol. I might add some pans and zooms when the scenes start to look the same around 0:17.
