What this course is for
A YouTube editor is judged by one graph: audience retention. The edit decides whether viewers leave in the first 30 seconds or stay till the end screen. This course teaches the editing choices that keep people watching, the thumbnail and title work that brings them in and the channel basics that help a video get found.
It is built from the YouTube, editing, thumbnail and sound modules of our 6-month video editing diploma, taught One 2 One, so you can join as a creator with your own channel or as an editor who wants YouTube clients.

Questions about this course
Can I learn YouTube editing on my own channel?
Yes. Bring your own footage and we will use it in class. Many creators finish the course with their next few videos already edited.
Which software do YouTube editors use?
Adobe Premiere Pro is the most common for long videos, with Photoshop for thumbnails and After Effects for graphics. We also show faster mobile and AI tools for quick jobs.
