ABSTRACT In my experience, teaching film editing has always presented a challenge in terms of aligning the creative with technical expertise. The technology, as a tangible commodity, is essentially taught in an experiential learning environment by engaging students in hands-on practical exercises to learn the software and basic editing technique. The challenge of teaching the creative editing practice is less tangible in that it requires a great deal of contextualising in terms of content and problem solving, as aligned with ‘creative outcomes’. This paper will explore the challenge of teaching creativity in editing and in doing so I will discuss editing as a ‘hidden art’, and the more abstract phenomena of intuition, rhythm and pacing as aligned with creative outcomes. Furthermore, I will discuss ‘best practice’ in teaching editing in reference to the nexus of theory and practice, the collaborative nature of teaching creativity in a studio-based environment, and the development of the teaching resource The Art of Editing: Australian Screen Editors Discuss Creativity in Editing, that offers new insights into teaching creativity in editing.

洞悉编辑中的创造力

摘要根据我的经验，在使创意与技术专长保持一致方面，教学电影剪辑一直是一个挑战。该技术作为一种有形商品，本质上是在体验式学习环境中通过让学生参与动手实践练习来学习软件和基本编辑技术，从而进行教学。教授创造性编辑实践的挑战并不那么切实，因为它需要在内容和解决问题方面进行大量的情境化，与“创意成果”保持一致。本文将探讨在教学中教授创造力的挑战，在此过程中，我将讨论作为一种“隐藏艺术”进行编辑，以及将直觉，节奏和节奏更为抽象的现象与创意成果相结合。此外，
