This course on Creative Video Editing is about being as creative as possible, by understanding and experimenting with the basics of editing. Whatever your skill level on Premiere Pro or any other editing application you use, these skills and processes that you will learn are applicable to any short-form video creation, so whether you’re creating for a client, your YouTube channel, TikTok, or anything else.
This is about making that video stand out, to be memorable, to engage, inform, and entertain. If you can do all consistently, then you’re heading in the right direction.
From my 21 years of industry experience, I’ve created 12 lessons of tips, tricks, techniques, and creative practices that I use on pretty much every video project. A lot of these also helped to create many of my Promax Award-winning projects and help mould many that I Creatively Directed.
These I learnt whilst in fast-paced environments, these staples of my editing process help to get you started and maintain a flow during the creative process, giving you quick and effective results. I learnt on the job, from project to project, and this is how you’ll learn too. At the core of my creative process are the basic skills you will learn and then you’ll experiment around your project’s creative parameters.
The lessons range from basic project management to organizing your material for being creative. Creating an Edit Structure and prepping Music, SuperImposition, On and Off Beat Editing, when and what Transitions to use, Script Writing, using Voice Over, mixing & creating Audio Design and using Graphics. Plus a few more…
This course is for ANYONE with basic editing knowledge and beyond, I’ve simplified where I can and I’ll explain on a working timeline, with tips and tricks, real-world examples from my past projects, and of course inspiring well-known examples from TV & Movies.
