I have listened to so many of the video editing podcasts, Once Upon a Timeline is the only one I take seriously. Yes, Paddy does promote his online classes but there is so much to be gained from listening to these episodes. He is giving first hand, very personal viewpoints on some of the more...Read full review »

Paddy Bird is a brilliant teacher. His Inside the edit course and bootcamps are vital resources for anyone interested in editing. This podcast is a continuation of that. If you’re interested in editing, this podcast will teach you a lot. I love it.

This is a sensational podcast. Thank you, Paddy, for your erudite, thoughtful, and fascinating way of presenting editing. I teach film and so am not directly involved with cutting on a regular basis but I find your insight invaluable in how I discuss and encourage my students to think about...Read full review »

Thank you Paddy for the generous sharing with all of us: current and aspiring craft editors!

Padding, double-talk, unedited circular wandering. The host has been talking for 15 minutes already in the ‘shot selection’ episode and hasn’t. talked. (really) about. shot selection. Maybe he’s stretching due to lack of actual content but even if that’s the case a shorter ep. would be a...Read full review »
PJ KAMINSKI via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/22
In this episode, we learned about the characters and how we can get perfect shots from the beginning of the editing before even starting our editing on the timeline. Because we are most of the time filmmakers, camera operators and directors, inside the edit — is the best place to gain your...Read full review »

I've been a huge fan of Once Upon a Timeline since the first episode. Paddy is a fantastic host and interviewer, providing insider knowledge of post-production that isn't usually available to people like me who are just starting out in the industry. I particularly enjoy the episodes that...Read full review »

The Inside the Edit website is amazing and so is this podcast. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about editing.
Brian D. Hart via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/21
The concentration on creativity and the art of editing/film production, rather than equipment and software, makes this the most useful and helpful podcast that I have found. I look forward to every episode.
xxdfretysfgh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/21
As an experienced editor who is self taught. Like most of us. Hearing Paddy vocalise the the unspoken craft and skills which I’ve developed over the years is not only reassuring but cements this knowledge. We’re an isolated group of artists and sharing our stories is incredibly important for...Read full review »

As an editor I am very grateful to have such a brilliant, in depth podcast about editing that goes beyond software. Each episode is incredibly interesting and I shall be sharing this with friends and colleagues within the industry.

I am not a film maker or editor, but it has lots of great transferable tips for fiction writing too. Particularly enjoyed the show about creating a backstory. Paddy is fab podcaster and talks you through processes with clarity and interest. So much to delve into here which you’ll find helpful and...Read full review »

Very relevant for any professional editor.
rffhy via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 02/08/21
I first discovered “Inside the Edit” on Vimeo , and now this podcast has become my mentor that I reflect back with whilst editing in the dark room. Paddy by far gives incredibly rich and granular details of how stories can be told effectively and the experiential knowledge that is shared is...Read full review »

Great way of describing and explaining the underlayers of video editing

As mentioned above, simply the best.
Sebastian Ps via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/12/21

Both the ‘Inside the Edit’ course and this spin off podcast are a must watch for any aspiring editor. Pure gold!
Mengo2049 via Apple Podcasts · Spain · 11/27/20
If you like editing or even if you like telling stories. Outgoing, direct, open. Amazing series. Can’t wait every week to listen to it!
Peterpabloo! via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/26/20
If you’re not familiar already with Inside The Edit, it’s a fantastic course dedicated to the art and craft of high-end TV/Doc/Film editing created by Paddy Bird. His years of experience have given him an incredible know-how and insight into the TV and film industries and instead of focusing on...Read full review »

Paddy is absolutely right - the vast majority of guidance online is instructions for technical procedures or heavily gear-focussed, with little wisdom from real professional experience. This feels like a gem. Wish I’d understood this kind of stuff 10 years ago.
drissa via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/10/20
Thanks Paddy for yet another superb product, the podcast is full of wisdom. It’s amazing to get into the mind of a professional editor and discover their thought process. And I love the fact that you invite such profound editors to share their stories.
Geisha555 via Apple Podcasts · United Arab Emirates · 09/08/20
Love this podcast. Paddy and his guests speak in a clear and creative way which I find a great inspiration as I continue on my editing journey.

I am really loving this Podcast. I’ve been trying to step up my game with video editing and am very happy and excited that I’ve finally found a Podcast that digs down to exactly what I’m needing to learn in order to move forward. After trying the free 14 day course, I am carefully considering...Read full review »

This podcast is a gift. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of it. If you’re looking for a podcast about editing theory then you’ve found it. It doesn’t matter what NLE you cut on, but rather it’s all about how you cut and why you cut.
PatrickTheBoyd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/20
Brilliant insight into pro editing if it is your job or something that you take an interest in. Loving it so far.
Matthew Bos via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 08/20/20
Once Upon a Timeline should be the first stop on an editor’s journey to becoming a professional artist. The podcast is exactly as Paddy says, a show about the craft of editing. Anyone can learn the software, but that is about 10% of what an editor does. The craft is what’s important, and that...Read full review »
bigdaddycampbell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/20
This is essential listening for anyone with an interest in editing or filmmaking in general. Totally accessible, entertaining and educational. The passion for the craft is evident throughout. Absolutely one of the best podcasts out there 👍
Big mac2 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/09/20
You should listen to this if you love editing and telling stories. It’s unique, honest, fun, inspiring and educational. Paddy is a great mentor.
byron_w via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/05/20
This is one of the best creative editing podcasts out there. Paddy is very articulate and knowledgeable about the art and craft of editing. Essential listening for anyone wanting an insight into how to build a successful career in the cutting room.
eddiehamilton via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/20/20
I downloaded Apple podcast just to write a review as I normally listen to this on Spotify. This is what every inspiring editor needs, an insight into the mind of an editor and skills that’s are not tech based but are super crucial. This podcast plus the course has been everything I needed during...Read full review »

Wow
Episode 2 - really enjoyed it. Thought it was so insightful. Thanks Paddy for sharing your thoughts, experiences and knowledge. Can’t wait for episode 3.

Even after watching all the online course through the website, the Inside the Edit podcast adds more and more layers to the complex world of the creative editing. An amusing listening, even for beginners. A perfect complement for the best online editing course.
Isaac G. Perez via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/08/20
If you’re looking to learn the creative art of editing then this is it. I’ve learnt more in these two episodes about this amazing art form then hours of courses online. It does help that Paddy has been doing this for 20 + years.. Great podcast! - Dean, South Wales, UK
deanhaycox via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/07/20
Very compelling content and subjects presented... no fluff... You may want to consult with an audio engineer/mixer as there is what seems like over-processing done to the audio (some muddiness in the mid-range freqs and some very annoying sibilance). All of this is easily fixed... Cheers!
D-Marco via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/20
This podcast matched with the online course is by far the greatest resource out there for anyone looking to learn how to creatively edit. Amazing work Paddy!!

Involving and inspiring, never heard anything like this about the creative side of editing.
Stelvio51 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/29/20
I only listen to podcasts if they are worth my time, and this certainly is! Paddy knows his stuff and is able to give real life examples from his vast experience to inspire and inform. I reckon there is something here for editors from beginner to high end pro ( I am somewhere in the middle just...Read full review »

Lots of room for improvement but not awful for a pilot episode. Fairly salesy format that’s kind of annoying because the whole thing just feels like an advert for his course. The course is good enough that i’m listening to your podcast... stop selling me something i already bought and impart skme...Read full review »

This is a great and very unique podcast! There are some podcasts that focus on editing but the “Inside The Edit” podcast is about creative editing which makes it super interesting to listen. Also Paddy has a clear voice and shares his experiences with tons of examples. Really recommend!

Really interesting to listen to this, thank you! Looking forward to the next instalment.
