They say it takes ten thousand hours to master a craft. I bet you can cut that time in half if you are pointed in the right direction.
Once I learned video editing basics, it took me years to become a quick, efficient editor. Every few months I would work with another editor who showed me a few time-saving tricks and over a decade I've built a nice little toolkit. These lessons are a collection of the tips I've learned over the years to edit professional commercial projects. Audio tips, Video tips, Transitions. Everything. Why spend years in the field learning slowly when you can take this course in just a few hours?
This is not a ground-up course for beginners, rather a collection of in-depth skills aimed at intermediate and advanced editors who want to hone their craft. This course will grow your speed and efficiency as an editor, turning you into a pro in no time flat.
While I edit in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, most of these tips are theoretical and can be applied to Apple's Final Cut Pro X, Sony Vegas, or DaVinci Resolve. We're learning practical editing methods here, not software ins and outs.
So buckle up. Let's get to it.
