General Editing Tips

Think about how the order of your clips affects the piece. How can 2 shots next to each other create specific meaning?
Consider the pacing of your clips and how pacing should be used to enhance your story
It is usually best to cut on movement
Consider hat kinds of transitions you use and whether they are necessary
Often less is more when it comes to adding effects and transitions. If you add too many it can distract the viewer from the message of the video

Editing Techniques

Cross Cutting

Pacing

Pacing is a rhythm of cuts or how long a shot is on screen

Also known as "rhythm of an edited piece" or "how long each shot plays at screen"

Judging how long a shot should be is more instinctive because all of use have been watching pacing in TV shows and movies our whole lives. A lot depends on how much visual information is given in any one shot.
