Hey,
It’s been a while! As you might have noticed, the newsletter was on hold for a few weeks. I decided to focus my time on video projects and think about ways to improve this newsletter. 📈
I am planning to make the newsletter more focused on (video) creators and share specific quick tips you won’t find anywhere else.
Let me know if you need help with anything specific so I can include it in future issues.

Creator tips 🤫
How to edit videos to music (the right way)
You probably already know that you should (typically) cut the clips of your video to match the beat of the music. 🎶
You hear a beat in the song, go to the spot on the timeline and cut your clip right on the beat. That’s how most people do it.
One thing that I have learned over time is to cut the clip not on the beat but one frame before the beat. 🧠
Why?
Our sense of sound is slightly quicker than our sense of sight. Making the video appear one frame earlier helps to compensate for that. The result is a video that flows better due to cuts that feel right. Audio and video are more tied together.
What’s happening 👀
👨🏻💻 IFA Berlin
LG invited me to check out their new products at IFA in Berlin. Such a great experience.
🎬 Freelance Work
I’m starting to work on freelance video projects again after focusing on social media partnerships for some time.
📱 New Wallpaper Pack
I recently went on a trip to Los Angeles. The photos from that trip are some of my favourite shots ever, so I've turned them into mobile wallpapers for you.
Weekly Favs ⚡️
Tools, content and other things I’ve enjoyed over the week.
🎥 Gear – Wheeled light stand
I just got another one of those Impact rolling stands to replace my old light stands. Having wheels makes moving around big lights much more comfortable.
🎥 Tool – Frame.io
Transferring big files for video editing is always a big struggle. After some bad experiences with Google Drive, I decided to give Frame a shot for my remote video editing jobs. It has been super reliable so far.
🎬 Video – Filmmaker's Dream Studio
Studio goals right there.
Any thoughts, questions or feedback? I’d love to hear from you! ✍️
👋 See you next week!
