Video 102: Editing: How to Reduce Revisions & Edit Smarter

Editing is where a video project either comes together or falls apart — and the decisions you make in the edit room start long before you open your software.

In this class, we dig into the editing platforms available to videographers today, how to choose the right one for your work, and what smart editing actually looks like in practice.

We'll use a single platform to walk through real editing techniques, pulling from examples across music videos, documentaries, and social media content. You'll learn how shooting with intention makes editing faster, how to structure your process to minimize client revisions, and how editing approaches shift depending on the project — from a brand interview to a music video to vertical social content.

Meet Your Instructor!

I'm Josh — founder of JECP and the person behind the camera for over a decade of music videos, brand campaigns, and documentary work. Since 2011, I've been helping bands, brands, and bold thinkers shape their stories into something real.

My approach has always been the same: slow down, find the heart of it, and build from there. Whether I'm working as a one-man-band or alongside a close-knit crew of collaborators, I believe the best video work isn't just content — it's connection.
