The Creative Editing Course

Inside The Edit is the world’s first creative editing course. This highly specialised training program has been developed over three years by a prime time editing team working at the very highest level of television.

The Creative Editing Course goes way beyond basic editing theory. You will learn hundreds of structural, journalistic and creative techniques used in documentary and entertainment television. From the fundamentals to the highly advanced.

No other course provides you with professional level theory, raw footage to practice on and a guided tour through the creative editing process

Editors learn in isolation and pick up the hundreds of skills and techniques needed over many years of analysis and self teaching. The Inside The Edit course is the first time that the secrets of the edit suite have been available to the public, as most of our content has never been written down before.

Our tutorials are a mix of high end editing theory, footage analysis and timeline demonstration that teach the actual artistic process of creative editing.

Inside The Edit has been specifically created for anyone working or wanting to work in the narrative based television found in high end documentaries, entertainment shows and reality TV.

The future of television is the multi talented filmmaker. In todays broadcast world filmmakers are expected to excel in every aspect of the process. Mastering creative editing gives any aspiring program maker an unbelievably powerful edge over the competition. After completing this course you will know how to edit to a professional standard.

Creative editing is the least understood aspect of the television process. As an editor you spend hours watching, analysing and crafting raw footage. You learn what’s good, what’s bad, what’s been shot well, what hasn’t and most importantly, how to fix it.

Training your staff in broadcast level editing will cut hours of expensive production time off of your shooting schedules. If a person knows how to edit, they know what to shoot, how to shoot it and when to stop shooting. There is a reason that people in the industry say ‘editors make the best directors’.

Inside The Edit is 100% creative. We do not teach anything to do with the inner workings of any software. We demo on Avid’s Media Composer but as our course is creative and not technical you can cut on Adobe’s Premiere Pro or Apple’s Final Cut Pro just as easily.

However, when learning any technical art form it’s important to have a basic grasp of the workflow. If you can mark clips, edit them onto the timeline and trim, you’re ready.
