Film Editing Pro

What Film Editing Pro does

Film Editing Pro Inc. is a privately held, California-incorporated online training company founded in 2013 and based in Simi Valley, operating as a direct-to-consumer video editing school. Its core product is an online learning management system that delivers video-based creative editing training through a proprietary platform, with a catalog of eight distinct courses totaling 507 lessons covering trailer editing, action editing, drama editing, music editing, VFX/graphics for editors, creative editing fundamentals, and software-specific quickstarts in Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. A ninth course, The Art of Sound Design for Editors, is on a waitlist. Each paid course ships with HD practice footage, audio splits, premium music and sound effect libraries, and PDF guides, and the curriculum is software-agnostic in technique while compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer, and After Effects.

The company is led by four named trainers (Chris MacDonald, Brian Levin, Richard Kronenberg, Leon Barnard) supplemented by a contributing editors team credited with 120+ years of combined Hollywood editing experience across Universal, Sony, Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros, BBC, Amazon and ITV, with multiple Key Art Awards, Golden Trailer Awards and an Emmy among the group's credentials. Film Editing Pro employs 11–50 people, has no disclosed external funding or institutional investors, and is founder/management-controlled.

Its business model is product-led and freemium: four free 3-part video courses and free lead magnets (50 Editing Tips eBook, 31-Step Trailer Editing Checklist) drive top-of-funnel acquisition, and students convert into paid tiers priced $564–$3,000 with 12-month installment plans. The flagship course (Art of Trailer Editing) is offered in Standard ($564 / $47×12), Pro ($1,164 / $97×12) and Ultimate ($3,000 / $250×12) tiers, the last including a personal professional edit review. Distribution is exclusively through direct online enrollment at filmeditingpro.com, served globally with no geographic restrictions, supported by YouTube, blog, Twitter and Facebook channels and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
