Process
Jump cut
You might say: cutting out pauses, cutting the ums
Cuts inside one continuous shot that remove pauses, mistakes and filler, so the subject seems to jump slightly. Standard for talking-head video.
- What it does
- Compresses time and removes dead air.
- Ask
- Is this pause doing work, or is it dead air?
- Trouble
- Every breath gone, so the speech feels breathless and robotic.
What to look for
- A slight jump in the subject
- Speech that feels breathless when every breath is cut

Jump cuts occur when you have two different parts of the same clip next to each other on the timeline.
