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.

Ok, some actual feedback (I'm clueless and don't know music terms so :#marseybear: with me)

I think you should change the clips faster at 17s because the synth beats are now much faster.

Like it was a build up and now you're going full speed

But that depends if you have clips like that where there's more motion (following around, zoom, pan).

Using a different clip every (small?) beat would be epileptic lol so imo you can do it like:

Clip clip clip clip, then, same clip (change or cut at main beat, like you're doing now)

Fast and slow, repeat

The rhythm here doesn't match the content because it's all the same, just with cuts.
