"Vlad is seriously awesome! This is my second course by him. Top-notch video editor. Clear and to-the-point. So many video editors will show you how they edit, the ins and outs but the end product is ok. Vlad's videos are SICK! Literally some of the best vertical videos I've seen and he definitely knows his stuff. Such a great skill to learn. Highly recommend" - Sumner Hobart
"One of the most value-packed editing courses I’ve taken! Vlad does an amazing job of not just teaching how to edit short-form videos using Premiere Pro and After Effects, but also why certain techniques work. The tips, tricks, and workflow hacks he shares have seriously improved the way I approach editing. I also really appreciated how approachable and responsive Vlad is. I had a question about his custom presets, and not only did he reply quickly, but he also added the presets to the bonus materials section just based on that request! That kind of engagement makes the learning experience even better. If you're into content creation or want to up your editing game, I 100% recommend this course. Super practical, easy to follow, and packed with value. Lots of love from India!" - Jayesh Padhiyar
