One of the keys to cutting great trailers is telling a story with style. Style, in fact, is arguably even more important than the story itself. If you show someone a trailer that has great editorial style but a cliché or weak story, they’ll still probably think the movie looks pretty good. Learning the craft of movie trailer editing is a whole different aspect of the creative process, though.
Fortunately, Film Editing Pro’s team has put together an insightful online training course while openly sharing a plethora of creative techniques of the film, TV, and trailer industries with any student eager to learn. The Art of Trailer Editing is tailored towards editors, filmmakers, content creators, marketers, and basically anyone who needs to create teasers, trailers, promos, or other short-form materials.

It takes a lot of editorial finesse to create something that tells a compelling story, feels rhythmically satisfying, and highlights the best moments all in 2 minutes and 30 seconds or less.
