3 frames. That's the whole difference between a cut that feels natural and one that quietly bugs someone without them knowing why. I was finishing a client interview last week. Right before the cut, the subject started to blink. You'd never catch it consciously while watching the video. But you'd feel something was slightly off. Removed three frames. Cut lands clean now. The story keeps moving instead of snagging on something nobody could even name. Honestly, this is most of what editing is. The big structural calls matter, sure, but that's not where trust with an audience actually gets built. It gets built in the frames nobody notices. Made a short video walking through the process: raw footage to fix. Curious how other editors and directors think about this kind of detail work.
