I do a lot of narrative work (movies) and being a skillful editor is extremely important. There is a certain emotion that people get when they watch something, and if your edit is provoking an emotion that is unintentional, say, making people laugh when they're not supposed to, then you've done something wrong. If your video/movie does not have good timing, then this can make or break a scene. Think about it. Ever see in a comedy when they hold out a still shot for a certain amount of time and it makes you laugh? (think of the elevator shot in "Lost in Translation") - If it were a quicker shot, it wouldn't be as funny. Timing is important and if you do not have a great editor on board, then you run the risk of people feeling a certain emotion that was not intended. This is so true.
