"The immense feedback that you get from Austen, which, if you've never had feedback from a professional, is really something that I appreciated a lot. I followed the project of the course and I'm very proud of it. I put it on my on my website and I hope to get some clients in the future."
Guzman G. Testimonial
"I've been working as a full-time video editor for the past seven years. Before enrolling in the course, I was struggling with storytelling and trying to have a formula to convey emotions and stories in an efficient way. So going through the exercises helped me a lot to practice that way of adding storytelling and conveying emotion in an edit that not only worked for that specific assignment, but also for my client work outside of the course. And honestly, it was a great investment."
Kamarley B. Testimonial
"The best part of this course is that Austen personally reviews your final project. He gives you real feedback, points out what you did well, and suggestions where you can improve. That kind of one-on-one insight is rare in online courses. If you're on the fence, especially if you've been self-taught like me, this course is 100% worth it."

HEY, I'M AUSTEN!
I fell in love with editing in 1999 as a high school student, but no matter how many books I read or tutorials I watched, my edits weren’t improving. Everything changed when I met a mentor who was a real pro editor. He taught me the editing criteria pros rely on and, more importantly, gave me feedback on my edits. Today, as an award-winning film and commercial editor, I attribute much of my success to having that first mentor. I created this course so I can be that mentor for you.
And I'm not just passionate about editing, I'm passionate about teaching editing. That's why my course is different...
Not only is Austen an incredible editor, but he's a remarkable teacher of the craft of editing. When my university students want to learn editing, I send them to Austen!
