Does This Sound Like You?

  • You want to edit faster and get the most out of Final Cut

  • Your edits aren't connecting with your viewers the way you hoped for

  • You have a ton of experience but the Final Cut gets in the way

  • You're not alone!

Editing is the MOST creative process!

It's where you get to refine your vision and bring it to life.  The Goal of this course is to have you using Final Cut like a PRO.  

I will show you the no-BS way to edit. Which means teaching you the fundamentals, but also the reasons why specific choices are made in every edit so you can translate your vision into video as quickly as possible. 


“People think good editing is when you can see it, good editing is... when you cannot see it”

I’ve been in the editing game for over 20 years….

Editing for brands like Lexus, Audi, and WB. 

And I’ve worked with influential public figures like Tony Robbins, Stephen Hawking, and Gary Vee… (Take a look at the video above if you want to see the proof) 

And through my years of editing, I learned… 

If you want to get good at editing you need to learn more than the fundamentals.

But the fundamentals are the crucial foundation.


Once you know the fundamentals: 

  • Easily portray your ideas in video and feel creatively released because once you know the fundamentals of editing everything else will become much easier.
  • Communicate a clear message with your visuals, and express your creative freedom with your jaw-dropping production value. 
  • Get out the ideas you have in your head as fast as possible all because you know exactly what to do once you start a new project.

After going through the course and having clear, precise instructions on FCP, you'll be able to…

  • Transform your videos into SHOWPIECES!

    Bring your audience to awe every time they watch your videos (bring real beauty to your work)

  • A new level of confidence in your editing skills

    You’ll feel refreshed and motivated that you already know how to navigate FCP software. Being able to finally focus on the art of editing, re-igniting the fire you had when you first started.

  • Bring your ideas to life

    You’ll finally be able to tell any compelling and engaging story in any genre you want.

    And much more...
