Description

As video editors, we are like magicians. When magicians perform a great trick you don’t notice the sleight of hand or any of the smooth transitions employed to make a trick happen. What magicians do best is guide the audience's attention using misdirection. We have this very same ability. Using video editing techniques to create smooth edits we can misdirect and guide the audience's attention seamlessly through each frame and cut.

I’m Sean Dykink, a filmmaker and video editor from Canada! I've been working in a number of studio and freelance roles professionally since 2006.

Who is this class for?

This class is designed for video editors who have a basic technical ability using their preferred editing program. There are some lessons that do not require technical editing skills that all levels can learn from. The beginner will come out with a better understanding of what makes a smooth cut between two shots whereas the advanced user can enjoy challenging themselves with a unique project and pick up some useful tips along the way. This class is great for intermediate video editors who want to learn how to create smoother edits, transitions, and fluid movement.

What do you need before taking this class?

I will be using Adobe Premiere Pro for this class and recommend using this program. We will also hop into Adobe After Effects later on in the course. There is the option to finish a project completely within Adobe Premiere Pro using the learned techniques with some limitations and less direct guidance.

Questions?

Go ahead and ask any questions you may have, I'll do my best to answer in a timely manner. All questions are welcome and encouraged.

Enjoy the class!

Instructor's Courses

Hi everyone, I’m Sean, a filmmaker and video editor from Canada! I've been working in a number of studio and freelance roles professionally since 2006.

My main focus in teaching is storytelling. I believe that the stories in our lives give us purpose and are the reason to learn all of this technical filmmaking stuff in the first place. We learn technical skills and storytelling craft, to effectively bring creative expression to stories that otherwise remain thoughts in our minds.

Join me in learning more about creative storytelling, filmmaking, and editing techniques. Looking forward to seeing you in class!

I post some additional tips and content on my Instagram account, check it out!
