Eye trace is an editing technique where you anticipate where your viewer’s eyes will be looking within the frame at any moment. It’s crucial to making a sequence feel smooth, especially a fast cut / fast paced one. You'll see this all the time in well edited, fast paced videos. Don't believe me? Next time you watch a movie or tv show and there's a fast paced scene, just remember what we'll go over in this video. This technique improves the editing flow of your fast paced shots. The faster the cuts, the more this technique will need to be applied.

Movie example: 2024 'Monkey Man' directed by Dev Patel
Other fast paced example: • Watchtower of China
