Secret Editing Hacks
This is a free 25-minute Mini-course for anyone who wants to cut, like pro TV and feature film editors. Applying this single technique makes up 70% of great editing.
Learn How to Edit Better
Pro-editors don't rely on their talent alone. They all have a system. It took me over a decade to perfect mine and you can experience how it works within 25 min.

I demo the most critical editing technique I use when I start cutting any feature film or documentary. 70% of great editing comes from applying this single editing technique.
-
I show it to you applied to a film starring Oscar-winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter,) 4x Australian Oscar-nominee Teresa Palmer (The Fall Guy, Hacksaw Ridge), and Mark Webber (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Trigger Warning).

As a bonus, I also reveal how I used this system on the theatrical documentary, "Dumbstruck," released by Magnolia Pictures.

Morning Sven.
I finally used your methodology and WOW, the first video I edited at work blew everyone’s socks off on my team!!
Our creative director actually brought it up again and was intrigued how I had all of sudden pulled out such a good edit. So, I told him about yourself, your channels and your tutorial I watched. He asked me to send it to him and I just did :)

I'm an ACE Award-nominated editor who cut for James Cameron (3D-Imax 'Ghosts Of The Abyss'), Mark Webber (Sundance Grand Jury Prize nominee, 'The End of Love'), and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Emmy-Winning 'HitRECord on TV').
Films I cut premiered at Sundance, SXSW, Cannes, and played theatrically across the nation. I worked as Supervising Editor on several TV shows on networks like Bravo, E!, and Fox. I was the Go-To Editor for companies like Fremantle Media (American Idol) and cut pilots for them for more than five years.
My YouTube Channel 'This Guy Edits' has over 475k subscribers and focuses on creative storytelling and editing. I taught Film Editing at Columbia College Hollywood, and I am a regular guest lecturer at the UCLA Film Extension. I now designed this course where I teach you everything I know about becoming a Go-To Editor.

A Natural Born Teacher
I discovered This Guy Edits on YouTube and I started watching as much as I could. I find Sven Pape to be engaging intellectually, consistently interesting and a natural born teacher. (And he seems like a nice guy: no unhealthy ego.) There is a lot of worthwhile information and Sven, as usual, presents it in a way that is precise, multilayered and is enjoyable as well. If Sven can't pull it out of you, story telling may not be for you. And there is nothing wrong with that. Sven will help you focus your talents no matter where they reside.

If you do want to do something with editing,...
Go to Editor is fantastic. I'm just super grateful that they made this. If you do want to do something with editing, this is definitely a program that you should invest in because it is an investment. I know it's opened up things for me, given me a ton of confidence, and is just a no-brainer. If editing is really what you want to do, invest 100% in the GoToEditor.

I know I can make a career out of my passion!
Regarding my editing journey, this course made me believe I have a second chance! Due to life circumstances, I had to choose a career in tech that I hated, but thanks to the course, I know I can make a career out of my passion! I already recommended this course to a friend:)

Experience working on professional footage
The impact the GoToEditor has had on my editing journey, it has made me more confident. I would recommend the GoToEditor to someone who needs more experience working on professional footage or footage from a movie.

Real world experience at cutting footage.
The course itself is great and gives you hands on real world experience at cutting footage. In addition to the course are weekly office hours where you can get your questions answered. And a discord server where you can also get questions answered. These have been invaluable. If that wasn't enough there are always additional extras, including the chance to compete for an actual paying editing job.

Theory and practice go hand-in-hand
I love the course. Theory and practice go hand-in-hand, plus the course does not require paid software to advance. It also dispels the myth that a high level of technical know-how and fancy special effects are required to be able to edit videos or film. The course is a step by step guide through the entire process, covering both the video and audio aspects of editing. Didn't ever regret a moment that I availed of this course, wish I had availed of it sooner. :)

The Go-To Editor was in the Top 1% of all Creator Educators (ca. 7.7K) on Thinkific's TCommerce in terms of sales - making it one of the most successful education products on the platform.
The course features real success stories from me and other participants, but you should not expect the same results. Building an editing career (and/or becoming a go-to editor) takes hard work, dedication, and significant time. There is no guarantee that you will be successful or make any amount of money.
