Video Editing Classes Reviews & Testimonials

I had an incredible experience taking the Video Editing and Motion Graphics course at Noble Desktop. The curriculum was well-structured, hands-on, and packed with real-world applications that immediately leveled up my skills. I especially appreciated the instructor’s clear teaching style, industry knowledge, and patience—they made even the most complex concepts feel approachable and engaging. I walked away not only more confident in my editing and motion graphics abilities but genuinely inspired. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to grow creatively and professionally.

I had not sat in a classroom since 1982 prior to joining Jerron Smith's Adobe After Effects Bootcamp last week. I enjoyed every moment of the 3 days I spent at Noble. The program is exciting, and the instruction (both printed and as delivered by the very entertaining and enthusiastic Mr. Smith) could not have been better. Made me wish I had discovered Noble when I was a younger man. Loved it, thanks.

Jerron was fantastic! Super clear when teaching and showing examples. I was remote and still felt heard and helped. Great for beginners, but it picks up the pace quickly, so it is always interesting and fun.

Jerron is a great instructor.

The class content was exactly what I needed: basic Premiere Pro. I don't plan on becoming a master editor. I needed this for your basic corporate video editing for work, and I felt like this covered exactly what I needed, and a bit beyond.

Jerron was very upbeat and professional. I really enjoyed taking this course and learned a lot. I'm excited to use what I learned in my professional career.

Amazing experience, I learned so much!

Jerron loves what he does. He is an excellent fit to teach both Zoom and in-person classes.

Jerron is a cool guy and knows his stuff. I liked the demo and the "do" aspect of the classes. It was also fun to work on projects.

Jerron is knowledgeable and gave very useful information. The class content was also very interesting. I like to think it does exactly what it says it will, which is give well-rounded info.

Jerron provides not only the technical details for becoming a successful editor but also explains things with real-world examples. His philosophy is a creative, pragmatic mindset that allows the student to be well prepared to create a visual story.

My instructor was informative and supportive. He provided insightful, constructive criticism. He would then demonstrate on screen how to improve projects both technically and creatively.

Great starter class for Premiere Pro.

The teacher was kind and hard-working. Space is nice, and it is nice they had snacks. I really like that we can take the classes again for free.

The instructor was very helpful, but more importantly, clear and concise! His knowledge and skillset make it easy for a beginner to learn how to navigate Premiere Pro—many thanks.

My instructor was helpful and ensured I understood both the concepts and the execution of the course material. When I struggled with new materials, I received 1:1 support in class. Overall, the instructor provided interesting projects and resources to students who engaged in the course.

The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. I did not feel rushed in the class at all. He explained things very slowly, which is something I appreciate because it's a very complex program. He took a lot of time to help me out when I was stuck. Also, the textbook is extremely helpful! I find it hard to take notes during these classes because I'm often looking at the screen. So, having a step-by-step guide I could follow is great.

Jordon was a great teacher. I can't wait to start the Premiere Pro Advanced class with him as the instructor. I learned so much doing the exercises; I was able to brush up on the foundational aspects of Premiere Pro, and even learned shortcuts to help me expedite my workflow.

I just completed the Premiere Pro Bootcamp! The instructor's expertise and guidance helped me unlock my creative potential.

Having no prior knowledge of After Effects, I found this class to be very approachable and a great first step into learning this program. The instructor went beyond the workbook by using simple on-screen demonstrations to help students understand the basic mechanics of After Effects.

Jerron is a fantastic, fun teacher. He is not only very knowledgeable but also knows how to explain well. Premiere Pro is a very complicated program; it’s going to take time to master it, but Jerron gave us all great tools and information to not only navigate it but also get enthusiastic about editing video. I will definitely take more classes with Noble Desktop in the future.

The class was very helpful and informative. I learned a lot. I want to use what I have learned in my niche, which is reaction video editing and TV/movie/anime analysis videos. Once I have experimented, I can use the mentoring to get some feedback.

The bootcamp was straightforward and easy to understand. It has clear subject matter that covers a range of essential topics. Overall, I found the entire video editing and motion graphics program to be engaging and informative if you put in the effort.

Jerron did a great job. I was very intimidated by After Effects and teaching it to my high school students prior to this class, but I feel like I now have a good understanding of it in order to explain it.

This is now my third course with Noble Desktop and definitely the one I feel most excited about what I've gained after. I half-expected day 1 to be a lot of recap for me since I've dabbled with it (usually edited videos for our social in Premiere Rush), but it was a fully engaged experience. I would love to do the Premiere Pro Advanced class next time.

Gerry Rufman made learning motion graphics both fun and challenging, breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons. His dedication and personalized feedback have significantly boosted my skills and confidence.

I loved that the instructor really took the time to address any issue/question that any of us had throughout the course. He didn't just want to check and complete the exercises in the book, but instead, he really tried to make us understand as much as possible of a pretty complex program like After Effects in a very short amount of time.

This After Effects Bootcamp was perfect! As someone who has a basic understanding of keyframes and timelines, it was perfect for learning more sophisticated skills. Highly recommend!

It was a great way to learn a challenging program. I walked out knowing how to accomplish what I needed to do with Premiere Pro, and it was a fun experience thanks to my instructor, Jerron Smith.

I learned so much in a relatively short amount of time, and can't wait to put my new After Effects skills to use!

I came out of the class with exactly the outcome I wanted: feeling more confident in After Effects. Really enjoyed it and am excited to look into more courses with Noble Desktop.

Jerron is a very knowledgable instructor with endless patience!

Great experience overall. Jerron is an amazing instructor: knowledgeable, approachable and conducts classes in a clear and concise manner. 5/5! I was lucky to be in a small class, as I could ask Jerron further questions without holding up the other participants. I feel I will be back with Noble Desktop in the near future once I go away and digest After Effects further.

It was great, very detailed in the how-to, and if updates were needed due to updates they were provided by the instructor to keep current with the recent software updates. The instructor is patient, great at solving our software hiccups with our work, has a great personality, and he is very good at what he does. Thank you for your time and effort in teaching us the skills in the art of video and motion graphics.

Wonderful class! This class was both instructional and entertaining. It was structured and organized without feeling strict and stifling. The instructor, Jerron, is personable and has lots of industry experience. I really appreciated and enjoyed his explanations and anecdotes.

This class was well-organized and engaging. The instructor, Jerron Smith, brought a lot of industry experience and not only covered how to use the tools in Premiere Pro but also gave some best practices advice for designing and working with Adobe applications. He has practical, real-world experience and really seems to enjoy sharing his knowledge with others.

It felt great interacting with the professor and getting intricate feedback about my projects. Gerry gave incredibly helpful advice and was able to keep the tone light even when offering criticism.

Jerron is very personable and knowledgeable about all things related to video editing. He is easygoing and describes things in detail. It was a pleasure taking this course, and I highly recommend taking any of his classes to prospective students thinking of video editing as a career.

I can't wait to use my new skills in upcoming projects. I definitely feel more confident and knowledgable about the workings of After Effects.

I am learning how to do things with motion graphics that I never thought were possible.

Noble Desktop is definitely a HIDDEN GEM for hands-on training and certifications. So glad I signed up for the classes. Jerron Smith is the perfect instructor to teach the Video Editing & Motion Graphics Certificate: thorough, detailed, patient, super engaging, and personable. The class is interactive, and he encourages participation and conversation. Noble Desktop is a HOME RUN and the price is well worth it.

I was so grateful for the small class size and that you could attend both online and in-person.

As somebody who is brand new to the world of video editing and motion graphics, somebody with zero experience, I must admit that when I first enrolled in Noble Desktop, I felt very threatened and intimidated. However, my instructor Jerron Smith is very professional and knows how to be encouraging. He’s knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and easy to talk to. I was afraid I’d feel discouraged from my lack of knowledge, but on the contrary, Jerron knew how to make each session interesting. I took video editing classes for the first time in my life here, and I’m definitely coming back to Noble Desktop to continue my education. I highly recommend Mobile Desktop and Mr. Jerron Smith.

The key to Noble Desktop is the lessons and hands-on training one does; it gets you familiar with the applications you're learning better than just trial and error.

Jerron was very professional and a great instructor. he was very attentive to students' needs and speed and was able to answer all the questions without derailing the entire class. Learned a lot, loved the experience.

I would recommend taking a class at Noble Desktop.

This class was so helpful in getting me to learn the language of After Effects.

I learned a lot in a short amount of time. The PDF of step-by-step instructions was well-organized and easy to follow. I like that I have it for future reference.

Noble Desktop's Premiere Pro Bootcamp helped me to strengthen skills I already possessed as well as teach me new valuable ones. By the end of the course, I felt much more confident working in the program.

Jerron has vast knowledge and experience in this field and delivers this in a compassionate and patient way. He cares about his students and their learning experience.
