Editing Courses

Edit like a professional.

Whatever you edit on, one clear goal: you leave the room able to cut video that looks and sounds like it was made by someone who does this for a living.

Training is shaped around your skill level, from your very first edit to broadcast-standard finishing. No previous editing experience needed.

Your options

Choose your platform.

We teach three editors. Premiere is the professional tool, free on mobile and an Adobe subscription on desktop. CapCut and VN both start free, and both punch well above their price.

Every one of them runs on the desktop, Mac or Windows, and on your phone. So the choice is not really about the software. It is about your workflow, your budget, and what you want to make.

Every course, tailored to you

Whatever your level, we meet you there.

Private or group training, from a first-ever edit to complex broadcast work. Delivered where you work, in person across Australia and beyond, or online. We build the course around what you actually need to make.

NEW Now in Premiere

Premiere Color Mode

Make a dull clip look cinematic, without leaving Premiere.

Premiere's dedicated Color Mode workspace brings a focused, professional grading environment right into the app, so you can take a flat, dull clip and give it a rich, cinematic look without switching to another program. It is one of the biggest leaps yet in how easy this has become, and we show you how to use it in your Premiere training.

(Yes, in Australia we spell colour with a u. Color Mode is Adobe's product name, so we have kept their spelling.)

  • A dedicated colour workspace. Your edit and your grade, kept in one application.
  • A clear LUT and grade workflow. Apply and manage looks for a consistent result across the project.

Course graduate One-on-one Premiere Pro training

“I have had such a great experience with eMotion Video training. I’ve done both face to face and virtual delivery and both options have worked very well. The recent Premiere Pro editing training I did was a one on one session with Suzie which gave me the opportunity to leave the session with a polished content piece ready to share back in the workplace. No question is stupid and having the ability to follow up with Suzie post training has felt really supportive as I go on this journey of learning new skills.”

Still weighing it up?

Good questions, plain answers

Tell me what you want to be able to make and I will tell you which fits. As a rule of thumb: CapCut or VN if you want to create and publish quickly on your phone for free, Premiere if you want the full professional craft, on desktop or mobile. Plenty of people do both, and there is no hard sell either way.

None at all. All three courses start from the beginning and are shaped around your skill level, so complete beginners are very welcome. If you already edit, we pitch it higher and dig into the areas you want to sharpen.

Both. We run private one-on-one sessions and group workshops, and specialist courses can be designed to meet your exact requirements, from simple social videos through to complex edits for short films and online training resources.

We come to you. Based in regional Queensland, we deliver in person across Australia and, for the right project, anywhere in the world, plus online wherever you are. Training happens where you work, on the gear your team already uses.

Both CapCut and VN are free to download and use on mobile, desktop and online, with no watermark on VN's free tier, which is a big part of why they suit teams on a tight budget. The Premiere mobile app is free to use as well, with optional AI credits for its AI features, and only the desktop version needs an Adobe subscription. In any course we work with what you already have, and set up what you need on the day.

Yes. PD day packages can be built to suit a specific team's needs, mixing editing skills with camera, story or AI training in whatever balance makes sense for your staff. Tell us your goals and we will put a day together around them.
