Great tutorial...This very informative lesson sure helped me with a prodect I am working on for a karate school.
Thanks for these great tutorials, another very helpful and practial
DJTV segment.
DJTV Rocks! Thanks for showing us in simple, practical, understandable ways the techniques that can be confusing when we just read about them in a book. I appreciate your DJ products but more than that I appreciate DJTV for giving me the knowledge and confidence to try to use the products and better my skill-set.
Another really fine piece here. Well done. My hat's off to you and all the DJTV segments! Thanks.
Wow! Thank you. Best explanation of TIME-REMAPPING ever. We've seen many big video tutor-names attempt this one in high-cost seminars. Ace Gates wins 'instructor of the year' hands-down. And presented in a free workshop!! Always looking forward to your next training classes.
Great. Keep up the AE stuff! It's pushing me into using it for my effects work instead of just staying in Premier where I'm comfortable. BTW - I tried one effect in Premier and then in AE. Not only was the effect rendered better in AE, but way way way faster.
OOPS - guess that "Trails" filter is in AE or a newer version of FCP - couldn't find it on mine. Oh well.
By the way, has anyone else noticed - at the beginning, zooming through the window, there are no photos of "Our Founding Fathers" - then - on the close up, there they are. Amazing how fast they can be hung with special effects. Guess that's just another example of time compression - LOL
Thanks Ace and Crew -
Well done. Thanks, especially, for showing the "Trails" video filter. Never even played with that before. I know that will come in handy on some future video. I don't have AE, so that part wasn't too helpful, but some info was transferrable to FCP. Pretty cool stuff.
5 Stars
It's always good to have a refreshing retake on editing and the monotony that follows. Thanks Chris for making it fun again. You a pretty mean cat man. Peace.
ACE! As usual YOU ARE THE MAN!!! You guys at DJ are amazing. Keep the tutorials coming, and I'll keep returning to your website daily! HEY, I'm real interested in how you did the BTTF artwork with ACE. I see some JDs in there, how did you get Ace to look like he was in a comic book? Convert a photo with special software? SHOW US! Thanks again for continuing to stimulate our creative juices, or should I say our creative digital juices!!
Even though I am far behind in the viewing of the episodes, I always learn from your DJTVs. Never stop producing them. I promise to catch you up.
Thanks,
Carlos Cruz
This is awesome! Just when I thought I had expended all of my creative "juices" har har, I stumble across one of your great real-world editing example sessions like this one and I'm up and running again. You do a great job and your examples are very simple and straight-forward. Glad to see your Ninja is a healthy eater... just like us! (thanks guys)
Pretty darn good; points out the advantages of 'when' to use 'what' software to do particular tasks; sometimes a wrench is not a hammer is not a pencil.
And I gotta say--- perhaps inappropriately for the review of a video--- but when the Editor's Toolkits Pro promo came on before the video, I think my heart actually skipped a few beats. Can't wait to hear more.
Great episode! Learned some nice things. I love the cow too. 'MOO.' The Back To The Future poster redo was AWESOME! Although, I think the guy on the poster looks a little more like Duff Goldman from Food Network's Ace of Cakes than DJ's Ace Gates. Either way....fantastic!
Thank you Chris for making learning fun and entertaining. I always learn something when I visit your site.
Wow, Chris's Cutting Class is something I look forward to. Each episode forces me to rethink how I can do things more effectively. This "Class" on time and space was awesome. Thanks, Bill.
Superb job on this - thanks a million for time-remap in AE tactics, this is the kind of next-level professional video production tutorial that's *perfect*.
Thanks for a brilliant, fast-paced, advanced tutorial; keep these AE tut's coming - and thanks a million!
Ace, thank you so much for the lesson. It is wonderful to learn these new tricks on the web. I look forward to the next one. Thanks again. John
Right on! That was great! As always it was informational and taught me some new tricks! You guys ROCK!
Great overview, usual excellent presentation style
- as an FCP user, more detail on clean-looking speed-ups and slow-mo would have been appreciated. Maybe trying to serve too many Masters here?
Thanks as always - look forward to the next one!!

Very cool final clip. I wish I wasn't such a AE neophyte. Great episode. Thanks for all the hard work. Keep it up.
Seeing the final video - which looked like something in a Hollywood film - then connecting that video to all the steps we were just walked through was an eye opener! You just showed us not only how it was done, but how we can do it too! Awesome! Absolutely awesome!
Thank you so very much for this outstanding education! And as awesome as it is, I REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate that you offer it for free! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Sometimes DJTV brings you an episode that reminds you of points you might have forgotten. Sometimes DJTV brings you an episode that you learn a few points from and enhance your basic abilities....
THIS EPISODE - did NEITHER
I had no idea about ANY of this - this episode is a keeper! WOW! Great job and cool effects. O
I never knew I could get an A+ for Cutting Class!
Too cool for school, as usual.
Keyframing with AE was good info.
I'm a little thrown by the mixed metaphors...or themes, rather.
I was expecting Michael Fox and got Ralph Macchio/Chuck Norris.
Love the BTTF nod in the banner. Would like to know how you created that as it is almost identical to the original. Another great episode!
Nice tutorial. Hysterical still graphic for the promo icon, though Chris would make a better Doc Brown IMO.
I agree with Ace's warning that this is not something to overuse (like it is in more than one of the recent DJ product promo pieces, they make me dizzy what with the revolving already). This is one of those "spice" type elements that is best used very sparingly, so the food can still be tasted in it's own. Nothing against Guy Ritchie, but not every scene needs to look like "Lock, Stock, & 2 Smoking Barrels". Only use it where apropriate and don't abuse it.
I also see this technique used sometimes to cover the fact the shooter didn't get enough coverage in the field or vary his takes enough, shooting one shot too long without a change of focal length.
Excellent introduction and good examples. Would have been nice to have see in detail how the final video was constructed. Nice job!
This was a good one. Answered a lot of my questions. I would have liked to have actually seen how to do the end clip.
Awesome Ace...thanks so much...love your Cutting Classes!!
Cheers...Tony :]
