I’ve been observing the recent trend of using high-frame-rate cinematic shots paired with aggressive "slowed + reverb" audio tracks in short-form content. From an editing perspective, how do you feel this affects the viewer's retention compared to traditional rhythmic cutting? While the "Montagem Alquimia" style relies heavily on bass-boosted transitions to signal a scene change, I'm curious if we are reaching a point of diminishing returns with visual saturation. Does anyone else feel that the reliance on CapCut or After Effects presets is starting to overshadow the actual narrative weight of the movie scenes being showcased? I’d be interested to hear how others balance technical flair with the original film's color grading and pacing
