Best of the Worst Editing Timeline

Thank you guys so much for bringing us, the fans, so much joy! Your hard work is truly appreciated!

This gives me a migraine

Daniel Yowell

Wow. I've used Premier to make simple things,but this is insanity! You guys really are masters of your craft!

Thank you for your service Jay

DJ PaulyT

It's so dense. Every single second has so many things going on

Lars Himself

So glad I'm a colourist so I'd only have to deal with the video layers.

Dave Gesell

dont review or even acknowledge rise of skywalker for like 3 weeks. see how unhinged your fanbase can get! itll be fun!

Art Webb

This gave me anxiety....

Grahm Petersen

you try doing it

Sarah Low

it looks like they might; I can see 3-4 vid tracks, and nesting doesn't include a wavform on its parent timeline

Sarah Low

I think I need to get my eyes checked

William Sircin

We stan kings who use multicamming!

Sarah Low

But it's just You talking...

JESUS CHRIST! -I mean- VEEERY COOL

Leroy Brown

Do you guys plan your more humorous edits in advance or just goof around with the timeline until you strike gold?

Damn, why don’t you nest when you’re editing? (Not an accusation, genuinely curious)

Joe Lloyd

I would love to see a full making-of/BTS of a typical episode from start to finish, like transferring a VHS or DVD to digital for footage, shooting the sitdown, etc.

Erick Kwon

I was learning to edit on stupid youtube videos we made and it was a nightmare, but exciting when you were finally done and created something. What you all do is on another level though and that looks like a horrible hell to do lol.

Philip Gumpl

No clue how you guys keep track of it all, but you do a killer job. Its always interesting to see the more technical side of whatcha do

Nadine Lucille

This looks nuts! Would love a video on how you guys go from the raw footage to finished product.

Sarzac

Amazing work! I can't imagine how much time and labor go into these projects, but I'm so thankful you do it. . Great work, Jay, on this past episode... it was was crafted and hilarious!

Very interesting. Please keep posting production stuff -- it's fascinating.

Matthew O

I just came...

Manuel Johnen

THAT'S stayin in!

Dan Port

It’s....it’s full of stars!

Kendel Fargo

THIS IS GREAT! Do you guys using use a standard color coding system (blue for your footage and Caribbean Green for the movie footage)? How often do your system crash? These projects look HEAVY! :P

Royal-Robinson

Wow, I would love to study this timeline.

Marvin Falz

That is absolutely fascinating!

Chloe S

Very interesting. I can tell that you guys put work into your productions, but it's neat to see the work that goes into producing it.

Dave M

This is awesome! You all put so much work into your videos and it really shows. Thanks for sharing! I'll echo others and say I'd love to see more like this. Watching the "sausage" get made is so fascinating.

Corey Wilson

Also... today happens to be GARBAGE DAY!

Jason Cole

Man, I've wanted to see what one of your timelines looked like forever. It's pretty much what I imagined. With complex projects like this does Premiere crash on you often?! Nice work... and awesome episode!

Jason Cole

Hi Katy. This is an Adobe Premiere Pro timeline. Each rectangle you're seeing represents either a video clip, audio clip, or graphic. Going from left to right, you can see how complex an episode of BofW is with their multiple camera angles, movie clips, graphics, and sound.

Joshua McAllister

Fascinating. What’s a good resource to understand what the hell I’m looking at?

Katy

Video editing and mixing/mastering music... man, those are pure love and hate relationships. Usually you take a deep breath before starting, get into it with a heavy heart and after hours, just when you start feeling exhausted, that's when it all clicks and you just go berserk until it's done. By the way, thank you as always for all your great content. Happy Holydays, you fuckers!

Lelio Mulas

I think it's Adobe Premiere.

Lelio Mulas

I figured you’d use Final Cut with the angles feature to edit these! I love how much effort goes into making these episodes entertaining and interesting. Even if the movies are awful in any sense of the word.

John Wallace

Nice.

King Ding Il

What exactly is going on in that picture?

Joseph Ottaviano

How do you guys decide who edits which video? Do you take turns? Draw straws? Spin a wheel?

Rowlet

That looks insane! How long does it take to edit something like that?

John Reimers

Mike/Jay, which is your favorite show to edit?

Joshua Mannix

Holy fucking shit.

Josh Marjonen

Good to see my $5.00 hard at work!

I'm an old, and when I went to Film School editing was sometimes razor blades and tape! May I ask what this this program is called? To see this process is very inspiring!

John Kott

Thanks for sharing this. I know it's a lot of work but it really shows in the end result in comparison to most of what's on Youtube. I echo other users in wanting to see more things like this, I think in the past you guys have said that the way the "sausage is made" is boring, but I think that editing process is interesting.

Hamson

I've been learning Premiere for the last few months and looking at this makes me die a little on the inside. How many hours did it take to get to finished project?

Helvetica Bold

i'm getting a migraine just looking at this. bless y'all for doing this every day!

Percy C

Ugh. So many mics...

Katie Kelley

Looks terrifying. Thanks for all the hard work you guys do to put out such excellent content for us!

Jessica Lavers

You can almost see when Rich's laughs clip the audio.

Fidel Spears

God, it's giving me Avid flashbacks.

Scott Kaptur

would love to see more behind the scenes from editing :)

Rudolf Rohaczek

BOTW is the most complex of anything we do.

Red Letter Media

That's pretty awful. It's great that you put so much effort into these, every "Best of the Worst" episode is so much fun to watch because of this.

Oh noo!

Andreas

Stop making valid and understandable excuses and give us more regular content! I'm craving that juicy Evans meat!

Tim Fuglsang

That's wild. I knew editing could be an involved process, but I didn't know something like a BotW episode was so complex.

Jeebus

Scott Ricketts

How long does it take to get through it all? While it's necessary, how much do you look forward to doing it each time?

Seo Hurley

Sweet! Thanks for this, guys.
