In CUT, you will learn both the technical & storytelling skills of editing, from the ground up, exactly how I do it in Adobe Premiere, without wasting time on the endless features and effects you’ll never need for a narrative film.
I’ll even give you footage from one of my own films to edit alongside the lessons, so you can learn this craft easier and faster by working with me instead of just watching.
I look forward to seeing what you create!
PS – If I had this course when I was starting out, I would have saved myself thousands of hours of amateurish & inefficient editing!
Learn this art the RIGHT way with these proper, professional workflows, so you’ll never need to re-learn it all later it like I did.
Before CUT, I didn't know how to approach editing and was just overwhelmed with all the media. After taking the course, editing no longer seems like this giant void but just a process to follow... If you are a beginner, I would say that it is worth the time and money.
CUT is a good mix of technical how to within Premier, and storytelling how-to
I spent years making my living as an editor in Los Angeles, working for clients like Netflix, Apple, and Sony Pictures.
These are the same skills I used to cut my own narrative films, which have found an audience of well over 10 million people online and at festivals around the globe.
These are the same skills I used to cut my YouTube videos, starting a second career by sharing my knowledge and experiences in film to over 250k subscribers.
Now, finally, all my storytelling principles, workflows, technical tips, and general advice for narrative post-production are available in one place – right here in CUT.
It's definitely worth the money. It's Premiere specific and has really good extras, like plugin advice.
