Is your documentary leaving viewers cold despite beautiful shots and tight pacing?

In this episode of The Video Editing Podcast, Shiny reveals how most video editing fails happen because editors focus on external actions instead of emotional motivations, leaving audiences disconnected and likely to click away. You'll learn the powerful Five Whys technique that transforms flat, news-like edits into compelling stories that hook viewers emotionally. You'll discover how to structure your documentary's Act 1 to create genuine audience investment, with a real-world example showing how this simple technique completely transformed a selfish-seeming character into someone universally relatable.
