This is one of those tools that every video editor should have and use in their video editing toolbox. It's a simple editing trick to make your videos better. Although I use Premiere Pro, this technique applies to ALL video editing no matter what video editing system you use.
More importantly, this is a very simple way to make your videos and films better and more watchable. Add this simple technique to your next video or film and notice what a huge difference it can make.
You'll also learn what the reverse video editing technique is, ALSO called a J and L cut, but having a different meaning when it's used this way.

This is a review of the Zeapon Micro 2 Motorized slider. It's most redeeming quality is the shots are SUPER SMOOTH even at very zoomed-in shots. I thinking this is a reasonably-priced slider for the money and I do recommend it for people needing something like this @$399 as of July 2020.
