MORE THAN PUSHING BUTTONS

The Editing Formula doesn’t just teach editing skills. It’s designed to transform you into a superhuman editor, top to bottom. Understanding the techniques is one thing – and we cover those thoroughly – but after you know how to push buttons, having creative confidence and a business plan that’s proven in the modern world is crucial.

BUSINESS EDITOR

A person must eat! If you take this course and devote ample time and energy to it, you’ll have everything you need to turn editing into a $100k career. Because you need to find customers to sell edits.

SOFTWARE IS JUST A TOOL

The editing formula focuses on editing tools and storytelling strategies, making it compatible with any software. This course is simple and well-structured, removing confusion and frustration from your editing workflow.

COMMITMENT

We recommend taking this course on a schedule of 2 modules per week over a 3 week period. Many people can get overwhelmed with all the lessons at once and tend to give up or get burned out too quickly. But when learning, editing slowly and steadily wins the race, and it leaves a little more time to mess around and really understand the concepts.

STORY & MINDSET

Think of a movie that moved you. Or maybe it was a music video, or a YouTube vlog, or a TikTok that made you laugh. The reason videos inspire us can be boiled down to one word: story. Stories make us feel. We feel compassion. Joy. Fear, empathy, or amazement because of stories. Editing, at its purest form, is storytelling.
