That one comment about pacing on my AMV

Someone told me my cuts were too fast. Every two seconds a new scene. I was trying to cram in too much. Slowed it down to match the song's beat drops and the whole video flowed better. Anyone else get critique that completely shifted how you edit?

Hold your horses, is it really that deep? I mean, yeah, slowing down the edits to match the beat makes sense, but acting like some comment "completely shifted" your editing style feels like a stretch. I've had people tell me my cuts were too slow and boring, so I sped them up. It was fine, the video just needed a different vibe for a different audience. People act like one piece of random forum feedback is a sacred revelation, but it's just one person's opinion on a Tuesday afternoon. Are you sure you weren't already on the fence about the pace and the comment just pushed you over?

You ever try just muting the audio and cutting to a metronome click? Sounds dumb but it forces you to feel the rhythm instead of just reacting to waveforms.
