Testimonial from Michael on the Conclusion lesson: Matt, I'm so glad you offered this course on how to quickly edit in Premiere Pro. This is a fantastic resource that has just the right amount of information and simple techniques anyone can utilize without overloading them with technical jargon and theory. Premiere Pro has much to offer, and your course gets people up and running in an extraordinarily short time frame without glossing over the important topics, like export settings, audio, and lumetri scopes. Great job, 5/5 Beards (my new rating system btw).

Hey! I'm Matt Johnson 👋

Filmmaker, YouTuber, and your guide to all things video editing!

Video editing shouldn't feel like a chore, it should feel like magic.

You know that rush when you finally press play on a finished video?

An idea you scripted, recorded, and brought to life... it’s one of the most satisfying feelings in the world.

But there's a problem.

After the excitement of filming fades, you’re left staring at hours of raw footage… and the realization that editing is going to eat up hours, days, maybe even weeks, of your time.

Thankfully, you have one of the most powerful video editing programs on the planet, Premiere Pro.

And it has all the tools you need to organize your footage, make cuts, mix audio, color grade, and add text.

But this power comes at the cost of complexity.

12 workspaces.

32 panels.

Hundreds of settings.

Over 1,000 keyboard shortcuts.

It’s no wonder most editors feel overwhelmed and unsure if they’re even using the fastest and easiest methods.

I get it, I've been there.

After 15 years of video editing and trying every feature, shortcut, and workflow Premiere Pro has to offer, I've cracked the code for making editing faster, simpler, and more fun.

And now, I want to show you how!

Whether you’ve never opened an editing program in your life, or you’ve got the basics down and want to level up, this is for you.

Over the past decade, I've helped thousands of people learn how to edit videos through in-person coaching and tutorial videos online, and now I've put everything I know into a powerful, easy to follow course.

Ready to finally edit with confidence and speed in Premiere Pro?

Let's make it happen.

Imagine this - it's 6 months from today.

You didn't invest in this course.

You’re still editing at the same slow pace.

Premiere Pro still feels confusing.

You waste hours on things that should take minutes.

And those videos you wanted to create?

They’re still sitting on your hard drive… unfinished.

Or maybe you’re still stuck on another editor, telling yourself “I really should learn Premiere Pro”... but you never do.

And the dream of creating pro-quality videos stays just that: a dream.

Now, picture the other path.

6 months from now, you did take action.

You joined Video Editing Unlocked: Premiere Pro.

Now you’re editing faster than ever.

You know exactly what every setting does.

You’re mixing audio in a few clicks, color grading like a pro, and building videos you’re proud to share.

Clients love your work.

You feel confident. In control. Unstoppable.

This is your moment.

Join Video Editing Unlocked: Premiere Pro today, and let’s make that future yours.

I’ll be right there with you, every step of the way.
