How does The Art of Music Editing compare to other training options?

OPTION 1: FILM SCHOOL

You could try honing your editing skills by enrolling in a full-time film school and hope that the curriculum includes the range of training you want and need…but most don’t.

FACT: only about 8% of film school classes teach any form of editing

Plus, film school is pretty darn expensive.

Look at these film school tuition stats…
Total tuition & fees for a film degree

To be clear, this is NOT meant to bash film school.

Film schools are great at what they do. They’re meant to give you broad exposure to all aspects of cinematography and they accomplish that very successfully.

But what if you want to specifically improve your editing?

At a film school, you’re usually out of luck.

Most film schools are not designed to train editors.

You might be lucky to get 2 or 3 classes dedicated to editing, along with a bit of lab time cutting together a final project.

But their focus is not on really teaching the craft of editing. It can’t be – there just isn’t enough time!

OPTION 2: ONLINE TRAINING WITH FILM EDITING PRO

If you choose to enroll in a course with Film Editing Pro, you can feel confident that the training is specifically designed to do three things:

Give you hands-on, real-world editing skills you can apply right away
Share knowledge sourced from full-time professional editors
Not empty your wallet with 10 years of student loans

How the other options stack up against The Art of Music Editing

Our mission is to deliver step-by-step instruction, led by expert tutors, with affordable pricing – AND – the flexibility and convenience to learn at your own pace on your own time.

The BIG benefits of learning online…

✔ No set schedule – learn at your own pace.

✔ 24/7 access to instructors. Our team is always available to help you.

✔ Use any editing software you like to complete the course.

✔ No need to travel. Especially valuable if you live in another country or remote location.

✔ Learn in your pajamas! Enjoy the comfort of working from home or anywhere you like.

✔ Beginner to advanced training – everything you could ever want to learn about music.

✔ Lower cost and no student loans!

Making a film doesn’t end when the shoot wraps

So, you spent tons of money on the latest film gear and got some beautiful footage…but what’s next? Knowing how to edit that footage is just as important as the best cameras, lenses, lighting and stabilizers.

Learning how to polish and perfect your story after the cameras stop rolling is critical, and the investment is equally important.
