But not every scene needs to contain jump cuts. In videos where someone is speaking to an audience or to the camera, these spots can be easily found by looking in the audio track for pauses or parts where the speaker is clearing his or her throat – and then cutting these parts out. To find the right positions to add cuts to, start by looking for parts of your video which appear superfluous. You should always use multiple jump cuts in a single scene to make it clear to the viewer that they are intentional. Add too few, and the cuts themselves will look like errors.
