About the course
Learn to Edit Cinematic Videos
You got all those incredible shots but you don’t know how to edit them professionally? Let’s fix that!
Getting good shots is important. But unfortunately, that’s not all. A lot of what you see in my videos happens in the edit. I oftentimes fix issues with video footage, I animate my shots, I add transitions and I make sure that the video flows well.
I learned all of that by watching random tutorials and trying things out by myself. So it took me a pretty long time to gain these skills. By creating this course, I want to give you a quicker way and a step-by-step guideline to learn video editing.
WHY SHOULD YOU LEARN FROM ME?
I already edited my first videos as a teenager. So I started early, used different video editors (Pinnacle Studio, Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas & Final Cut Pro X), and therefore gained a lot of experience.
Over the past five years, I edited about 350 videos for YouTube and fun, while I also worked on full, one-man video productions for businesses in the travel industry. Due to COVID-19, I switched from full video productions to freelance video editing in 2020, and I was able to charge 400€/day for that.
So this course teaches you the skills to be able to do the same.

Knowing where you find all the settings, effects, scopes etc. Is crucial for a fast workflow. So in this module I give you an introduction to my video editing app of choice – Final Cut Pro X. Other video editors have the same tools, but you usually find them at different places and they are called slightly different.

4. Optimized Media & Proxy Files
You can also edit videos, even in 4K, on slow computers. But to do so, you either have to create optimized or proxy media files from your original footage. Here I explain you exactly what it is and when and how to use it.

5. Storage & File Structure
Over time, you will record terabytes of video footage. So you will need a lot of storage and you need to structure your folders in a way that makes you find everything easily. Also importing your footage into your video editor from specific folder structures can make editing faster. So here I show you how I handle storage and file structure.

8. Timelapses
Editing timelapses is a bit special, depending on how you shoot them. Especially if you shoot single photos (what I recommend for best quality), there are a lot of steps involved to bring it to life. In this module I show you exactly how I edit different kinds of timelapses.

9. Audio
Audio is incredibly powerful. It can change the complete mood of your video, even if the clips stay exactly the same. Especially when to comes to voice, the audio is oftentimes more important than the video. In this module you’ll learn, how I edit and enhance voice, music and how I do my overall sound design with sound effects.

10. Color Grading Crash Course
Learning how to color grade takes a lot of time and would be too much for this course. But it’s also an important part of the video editing process. So I included a quick crash course on color grading in this course as a bonus. Of course if you really want to learn color grading and create your own looks, definitely look into my Final Cut Pro color grading course or get the LWP all access pass to save some money.
