They say "the magic happens in the edit", and they're totally right!
In this class, you'll learn how to edit your first YouTube video in Final Cut Pro from someone who built an audience of over 22,000 in his first year on the platform - Mark Ellis.
This class is for anyone who wants to start their own YouTube channel but who has no or limited experience editing videos. It will be equally useful to people who have already started their YouTube journey, but who think their approach to editing could be improved.
The edit is where the story is told - it's that important! It’s where you craft a video that will captivate your audience for as long as possible and encourage them to hit that ‘subscribe’ button.
The best news? You don’t need any technical experience or know-how - just a Mac and a copy of Final Cut Pro. You don't even need any videography experience!
Not a Final Cut Pro user? No worries! Although the lessons in this class will focus on that platform, the techniques and takeaways will still be golden for anyone who wants to edit a brilliant YouTube video, no matter the software they have to hand.
It's time to share the success Mark has earned on YouTube and learn from his tricks, secrets, and mistakes. There's an audience out there waiting for you, too!
