Participants learn and interact with the instructor in real-time and can ask questions and receive feedback throughout the course. Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.

You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19. Here are 2 of the best live online Video Editing classes we found:

Adobe After Effects CC (2020) @ Certstaffix Training ($1,330 | 3 Days | beginner)

Learn Video Editing for a New Career

Video editing is an in-demand skill in our stream-happy economy. In the U.S. every year more than 700 English-language films are released, over 130,000 hours of sports are broadcast, and upwards of 100 million hours of video are uploaded to Youtube. Video editing requires more than just someone to cut clips. There are also jobs for people who put graphics and captions on videos and people who design the look and feel of videos.

Video Editing is one of the core skills needed to secure one of these positions. See the career pages for more information on required skills, tips for landing a job, typical day-to-day work, and where to find job postings.

Learn More About Seattle Video Editing Training

Video Editing is the process of combining pieces of video footage and adding effects in order to tell a story. Although Video Editing is most commonly associated with the film and television industry, it is also important for designing online ads, commercials, and social media content. In addition to using their knowledge of art and design to make professional videos, Video Editors rely on software like Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro to bring their creative visions to life.

The prevalence of smartphones and video-based social media apps has contributed to the growth of video as a medium. Because of this, Video Editing is an in-demand skill within many industries. If you’re considering a career in a field that depends on video creation and editing, taking a class in Video Editing can give you a leg up.

Video Editing Careers in Seattle

In Seattle, you can find several careers that center on video editing skills, most notably Video Editor and Video Manager. Both these professions require knowledge on cutting, compiling, and adjusting video clips. While motion graphics is a separate field involving the enhancement of videos with graphics and special effects, Video Editors at small companies may be tasked with doing motion graphics design work as well.

Seattle-based careers in Video Editing tend to come with high salaries compared to other parts of the U.S. The average salary for a Video Editor in Seattle is $77K, considerably more than the national average. Video Managers located in Seattle can expect to receive around $71K. Even though these careers require additional knowledge of industry-specific practices, a background in Video Editing is a must-have for anyone pursuing them.
