A supercut is a type of montage that compiles many examples of the same action, phrase, or theme across different moments. It’s often repetitive, funny, or analytical.
Supercuts are engaging, shareable, and often humorous or impactful. They highlight patterns, exaggeration, repetition, obsession, or evolution; depending on the context. They can be entertaining (a character’s catchphrase on repeat), critical (pointing out clichés), or celebratory (best moments from a series).
Use a supercut to spotlight recurring ideas or behaviors across content. It’s perfect for recap reels, meme edits, or audience engagement pieces.
Define a clear theme – Focus on one idea (e.g., a word, gesture, or trope) for cohesion.
Keep rhythm engaging – Edit cuts to create momentum and avoid monotony.
Add variety – Mix shot scales, sources, or pacing to sustain viewer interest.
