Video Editing in 2 Hours: Learn to create captivating vids like the pros
Learn to edit high-quality videos that’ll rack up the views on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or wherever your creative heart desires. This is a simplified, easy-to-follow course that gives you everything you need—and nothing you don’t—to edit all kinds of videos from start to finish, using the exact same software as the pros: Adobe Premiere Pro.
The power of video
If you're here, you already know: Video is *the* way forward. It's not only the future—it's the right now.
There's no better way to tell an immersive story than through video—whether you're a brand, a marketer, an influencer, or a person with a vision.
Back in 2011, I created a video of myself that landed me a dream internship that literally sent me around the world for free. I didn't even use a legitimate camera to shoot that video—just Photo Booth and the built-in lens on my sister's laptop.
That's when it hit me: Video editing is an incredibly powerful tool for marketing the most valuable product out there: yourself.
👋 Hi, I’m Brigette. You can call me Hummusbird.
Since that discovery, I've been able to use video multiple times as a way to introduce myself to the brands and companies I once only dreamed of working for. And it’s worked. Again and again, it’s worked.
Listen, I'm not saying you have to make a video of yourself every time you want a new job (I mean, you could).
All I'm saying is video is pow-er-ful. And having the skills and confidence to edit a highly-engaging video on your own? Well, friends, that’s everything.
Whether you’re getting into video for art, for work, or just for fun, here’s what I want you to know:
Yes, you can learn to edit videos
Yes, it only takes a few hours
No, you won’t need to pay $500+
Yes, you might be really good at it
Oh, one more thing—it's so damn fun.
I can not *wait* for you to feel the magnificence of getting into an editing groove. It's just you and your project, and nothing can pry you away. Full immersion. Pure enjoyment. Welcome to the flow state of editing.
And that feeling of hitting *export* on a perfectly-edited project once it's reached completion? Oooooooooo, there's nothing better.

“I hadn't used Premiere Pro before but this course helped *so much*. It took that sort of scariness away I often have when dealing with this kind of stuff. I liked the structure and the fact that I can go back to the different chapters / lessons whenever I need to. The aesthetics were really beautiful, too! I think it's incredible how much information you put into this course. It's the best money I've spent in a long time <3!”
