Guzman G. Testimonial

"I've been working as a full time video editor for the past seven years. Before enrolling in the course, I was struggling with storytelling and trying to have a formula to convey emotions and stories in an efficient way. So going through the exercises helped me a lot to practice that way of adding storytelling and conveying emotion in an edit that not only worked for that specific assignment, but also for my client work outside of the course. And honestly, it was a great investment."

 

Kamarley B. Testimonial

"The best part of this course is that Austen personally reviews your final project. He gives you real feedback, points out what you did well, and suggestions where you can improve. That kind of one-on-one insight is rare in online courses. If you're on the fence, especially if you've been self-taught like me, this course is 100% worth it."

 

Not only is Austen an incredible editor, but he's a remarkable teacher of the craft of editing. When my university students want to learn editing, I send them to Austen!

-Scott Rice, Co-Professor with Matthew McConaughey, The University of Texas at Austin

HEY, I'M AUSTEN!

Editing wasn't easy for me at first. I practiced, read books, studied films, and even went to film school (which I almost quit!), but my edits still weren't great. That changed when I found a mentor who was a real pro editor. Once I saw a pro in action, everything clicked. Now, over 20 years later, I've built a career I love—working with top directors and ad agencies. I owe much of my success to having that mentor. Now, I want to be that mentor for you.
