The Creative Editing Course: Fundamentals 1

Inside The Edit is the only professional level creative editing course in the world. It is used by many of the industry’s biggest broadcasters, production companies, news organisations and film schools. Sky, Viacom, AMC Networks, Vice, The Guardian Newspaper and Discovery Channel are among many global media brands who use Inside The Edit to train their in house editors. directors and camera operators.

We do not teach the buttons, the pulldown menus or the shortcut keys, we teach the actual craft of editing. Any editing software can be learnt in around a week but the actual art of visual storytelling takes longer. Inside The Edit is a cinematic learning experience like no other, trusted by the world’s biggest media brands to transform you into a master editor.

We are all familiar with the system based training where we can teach people what buttons to push and how to use editing software but rarely has there been good courses that explore why and when to push the button, how to make creative decisions and how to create a collaborative relationship inside an edit suite. Finally, with Inside the Edit, we have a course that explains these elements that no other training company or product has been able to define.
