"I am SO SO SO glad I invested in this course. To be honest, just the organizing footage portion was worth it. The way Matt shows how to scrub footage and plan the story will save me so much time and will help the flow of my films. A lot of "ah ha" moments. Matt's method is going to work perfectly for us."
Sheena C.
"Been waiting for something like this for us Premiere Users for 2 years. Thanks so much for doing this. I can't imagine the hard work it took to put this together. It is worth way more than what I paid. The value is definitely there."
Kyle T.
"This course has been such an eye-opener for me. It's exactly what I've been looking for and has taught me things I've been trying to find on YouTube for MONTHS."
Lydia M.
"I wasn't new to Premiere, but I was new to putting an entire day of wedding coverage into one organized project. I needed a clear gameplan, and after months of disorganized editing, this course finally gave me that plan. Now my brain is freed up to get more creative, and I can truly breeze through the editing process."

MEET YOUR TEACHER
Hey! My name is Matt Johnson and my wife Rachel and I run FilmStrong Wedding Films, based in Texas. I've been filming weddings since 2010 and growing my beard since 2012, with no interest in stopping doing either of those.
I've created this course to distill all my knowledge about how to edit wedding films creatively and efficiently. My goal is to show you not only how I edit a certain way, but why.
