Edit Videos Faster, Easier, & With Total Confidence
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.
