(No sound) After you
watch the clip, move the slider to
just before and after the edit. Watch
the rope especially.

The
more things move, the more important it is to match
the cut.
Aligning
the edit of things that are moving a lot is called matching
the action or "matched action."
Consider
the 2-shot clip at the right of a cowboy roping a cow.
These two shots were shot about a half hour apart. (In
fact, the first shot is an unsuccessful roping attempt!)
It took me a long time to get this cut right. Move the
slider to the point just before and after the edit.
Notice that the rope is in the same position just before
and after the cut. Also, the rope is the same tautness
in both shots. (which I learned is the key to editing
calf roping!)
