How to Edit VIRAL Fast Paced Reels in After Effects (Easy Breakdown)

Description :

Fast‑paced edits dominate Instagram, Reels, and Shorts, and in this tutorial I show step‑by‑step how to edit viral fast‑paced reels in After Effects. The video begins with an intro at 0:00, then moves through Scene 1 at 0:21, Scene 2 at 4:48, Scene 3 at 8:35, Scene 4 at 10:21, and Scene 5 at 12:09. I cover how to structure a reel that holds attention, use speed ramping, snap cuts, rhythm‑based editing, motion, scale, and impact frames without overdoing them, and transitions that feel smooth yet hit hard. I also discuss the mindset behind viral pacing, not just effects. The tutorial is beginner‑friendly but powerful enough for intermediate editors who want their reels to look premium and modern.
