Cut. Refine. Reveal.
IU Editing Academy
July 20-24, 2026
Learn how to shape and refine stories like a pro at this five-day, hands-on editing program. Using Adobe Premiere Pro—the same software behind Oscar-winning films like Everything Everywhere All at Once—you’ll discover how editors turn raw footage into powerful, polished narratives.
Work with experienced instructors as you learn to:
Build and organize a professional editing timeline
Shape emotion, rhythm, and pacing through cutting
Use effects, transitions, graphics, and color tools
Integrate sound, music, and dialogue
Export high-quality final edits
You’ll also hear from an industry guest speaker and take on a unique capstone project: editing the finished films created by the Advanced Filmmakers Academy.
Perfect for aspiring filmmakers, content creators, and anyone who wants to understand how great stories come together in the edit.
No Premiere Pro experience is needed, but general video editing experience of some kind is expected.
