“A brilliant resource.” Alasdair Satchel, Media Education Journal

A new way to learn filmmaking

EditClass was specially created to teach film language and editing. It includes an action scene and a dialogue scene. Learners can choose between different shot sizes, camera positions, lens and movement.

Flexible learning

You can edit the whole movie or just one scene. The user guide shows how to adapt the resource, simplifying or extending the activities for different learners and contexts.

Works in any editing program

The clips are in standard 720p MP4 format. They’ve been tested in popular editing programs. The package includes step-by-step user guides for iMovie (Mac and iOS), Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere Pro.

PDF support materials

PDF guides include an introduction to editing principles and workflow, basic activities, and intermediate tasks like cutaways, split editing, parallel editing and creating a soundtrack.

Includes PowerPoint guide

EditClass includes a 34-slide PowerPoint introduction to the continuity system. It covers match on action, the establishing shot, shot-reverse shot, the 180 and 30 degree rules, eyeline match, point of view shots, parallel editing and sound.

Easy installation

You don’t need complicated software licenses or installers. Just download the Zip file and open it. The file types included are MP4 video clips, PDFs, and a PowerPoint (.pptx) presentation

Education site license

The education version allows you to install EditClass on all devices at a single education site (eg a school or university department). You can also provide them to your current students to install on their own devices. It's a one-off payment with no recurring fee.
