Every video you stop scrolling for, someone made a deliberate cut to keep you there. Most creators only use two of these video editing cuts. There are seven, each pulled from classic feature films, and each one earns engagement in a different way. In this video, I break down all seven types of cuts in video editing: the jump cut, match cut, J cut, L cut, smash cut, cutaway, and cutting on action. For each one, you'll see where it comes from (Breathless, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Social Network, Apocalypse Now) and exactly when to use it in your own videos, from compressing talking head footage to hiding edits with B-roll.

Most advice on how to go viral is "make something great and hope the algorithm notices." It won't. The algorithm only cares what the first 100 viewers do: finish it, reshare it, or swipe away. Fail those tests and you're stuck in view jail. In this video, I break down how to go viral in 2026 on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts: the 70% completion rate TikTok rewards, why saves and shares push your Reels past your followers, and the three-wave system Shorts runs every video through. Plus three scroll-stopping tactics, the loop trick that spikes completion past 100%, and the search SEO play that keeps views coming for months.
