BEST Editing Course EVER!

Stephen is an excellent teacher. I actually went to film school and learned what Stephen teaches over TWO semesters. Instead, he teaches those exact methods in a succinct 6-hour course that feels a lot more modern for today's types of films, especially for YouTube. It was a great refresher for me along with learning lots of new tips and tricks for editing my YT videos better. He's even convinced me to switch from Final Cut Pro X to Adobe Premiere Pro! This course is money well spent and I couldn't recommend it more. Thank you so much!

Absolutely Loved This Course!

Thank you, Stephen, for putting together a detailed, walk through course. I loved watching this and learnt so much just with your advice, let alone how to use Adobe Premier Pro. I am looking forward to using this knowledge in my videos.

Dreams Do Come True with Flying the Nest

Simply, thank you Stephen. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into creating this incredible course for newbies who are interested in not only learning about video editing but also looking to create quality material as we take the scary step into an unknown future of YouTube content, etc. I would take this course over and over, I learned invaluable information! Just understanding what I'm seeing on my screen in a calm way takes half the anxiety out of learning a new Adobe program in general. I cannot wait to jump in and "fly the nest".

A Beginner Must-Have

Stephen is a phenomenal teacher! As a complete newbie to video editing, his class made me feel less daunted by Adobe Premiere and he simplified things in a way that made me feel comfortable to start editing myself. He leads you step by step through the video editing process where you actually watch him edit a vlog start to finish. SO helpful! I can't say enough good things!
