Youtube lied to us. We have all seen amazing videos, with 100,000’s of views, put together by non-professionals on Youtube, and dreamed of doing the same. But the truth is, creating an amazing video is a skill that takes a while to perfect. That, after all, is why people go to film school.
Although we may not be able to turn you into the next Spielberg, we can show you the most important tips and tricks to take your drone video clips, and turn them into a finished product you can be proud of. Whether you know a lot or a little about photo post-production, we are so confident you will find this Zoom lesson valuable that we offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you are not completely happy with what you learn.
We have tutors who are experts in: Adobe Premier Pro; iMovie; Final Cut; and DaVinci Resolve. Whichever is your preferred editing software, we can line you up with a tutor who is expert in using it.

If you are new to video post-production, we’ll start at the beginning, with gathering your video clips in your preferred , and then sorting them in order to quickly find the ones you want to work on, now and in the future. From there, we cut through the complexity to give you a simple workflow, from selecting the clips to work with, through putting them on the timeline, to clipping them to an ideal length, to colouring, transitions; titling, and setting to music. Enabling you to turn your drone footage into YouTube ready video-productions.
Getting into video editing can be bewildering. Everything is more complicated, and takes more time, but is also more limited, when you switch from photo editing to video editing. That is the great thing about booking a One to One Zoom Session on this. You can take the conversation in any direction that matters to you. And go over things more than once.
Whether you prefer to work in Adobe Premier Pro, Final Cut, and DaVinci Resolve, the good news is that the things we teach you here are universal, so apply to all editing platforms. Hence if you switch platforms at a later date (from iMovie to Final Cut, for example) all of what you have learned you can transfer over from one to the other.
Some examples of the topics you can choose to cover include
- Importing data into your video editing software
- The gift that keeps on giving - understanding the timeline
- Start the music
- Keep it sharp - cut your clips as hard as you can
