Video Editing Programs Starting June 2026
We're opening enrollment for three specialized tracks this summer. Each program runs for eight weeks and focuses on practical skills you can actually use. Classes meet twice weekly with plenty of hands-on projects.
Request InformationCourse Schedule
Three different programs launching between June and August 2026
Social Media Video Essentials
Starts June 15, 2026Learn to create engaging short-form content for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. We cover mobile editing workflows, quick transitions, text overlays, and audio synchronization. Perfect if you're managing social accounts or building a personal brand.
Eight weeks, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. You'll finish with a portfolio of ten published pieces and a solid workflow that actually saves time.
Business Video Production
Starts July 8, 2026Focused on creating videos for corporate communications, training materials, and promotional content. You'll work with interview footage, screen recordings, and multi-camera setups. We spend significant time on audio cleanup since that's where most business videos fall apart.
This one attracts people handling internal communications or producing client-facing content. Class meets Monday and Wednesday evenings for eight weeks.
Advanced Color and Effects
Starts August 5, 2026This is our most technical program. We get into color grading workflows, node-based compositing, and motion graphics integration. You should already know your way around a timeline before taking this one.
Meets Saturday mornings for eight weeks. Smaller group size since we work through more complex problems together. Expect to spend time outside class experimenting with techniques.
What Makes These Programs Different
Most online courses throw tutorials at you and call it education. That doesn't work well for creative software where context matters enormously.
Our approach involves working on real projects from day one. You'll edit actual footage with actual problems – not pristine demo files where everything magically aligns. We discuss why certain techniques work in specific situations and when they don't.
Classes are intentionally small. Usually between eight and twelve students per session. This lets us provide feedback on individual work and adjust pacing when needed. Some groups move faster through certain topics, others need more time on specific skills.
The instructor reviews every project submission. Not with generic comments, but specific notes about what's working and what could improve. This feedback loop is honestly the most valuable part of the programs.
