Core lessons include:

• Music Editing 101 & The Editor as Composer — how to accent emotional moments and understand the three behaviors music can take.

• Scoring & Spotting Techniques — when music should enter, exit, or remain silent; plus how to “spot” scenes effectively.

• Creative Editing & Adaptation — methods for reshaping, looping, and tailoring musical cues to match the rhythm and pacing of your cut.

Though the content is delivered with professional editing software in mind, nearly all techniques are software-agnostic, so you can apply them in your editor of choice.

This course is built for editors wanting to elevate their craft—those who already cut video, but want to understand how to sculpt music into their storytelling. You’ll come away with: a refined ear, confident techniques, polished edits that connect emotionally, and the ability to treat music as a storytelling partner—not just background.
