Course Description
If you're making cooking videos, editing may take you hours and hours. Or, you maybe so intimidated by the idea of editing, that you refuse to do it. This course picks up where my last course "How to Make Professional Looking Cooking Videos" ends. I show you how I edit my cooking videos from start to finish and also spend time showing you how I create several assets that are part of my videos' branding, like my animated logo and end cards. I show you the best places to find the perfect music and fonts for your videos. Armed with the knowledge from "How to Make Professional Looking Cooking Videos" and a step by step walk through of editing, you'll be uploading cooking videos to YouTube that will make you proud and delight your viewers.
Special Note:
I will be using a Mac in the tutorials. However, if you have a PC, you should still benefit from learning the process which you can apply to the software you have.

I started making cooking videos just a short while ago on YouTube in April 2012 - Vegan Cooking with Love. I quickly realized that I had a lot to learn in order to produce videos that met my standards. After months of studying and analyzing other videos, I discovered the keys to producing high quality cooking videos on YouTube as a solo producer. Since I improved my production quality, my views have skyrocketed and I have over 10,000 subscribers for my channel. It is not uncommon for people to leave comments on my channel thanking me for taking the time to produce quality videos.
I'm excited to finally share what I've learned so that together we can make YouTube a place where quality trumps quantity.

Really liked, but I think I am a bit more experienced for this course, around 70% of the content I've already knew. But anyway highly recommend it for beginners.

After taking Michelle's other course I tried this one. Both are FANTASTIC! Her organization of the material is excellent and she shows you so many helpful hints. I've already made my first food video, thanks to Michelle!

I found it hard to concentrate, the editing portion was hard to follow.
By Karen Breyer on 8/29/2016
This course is very detailed and shows step by step how she edits a cooking video. She gave me some great ideas how to improve editing my cooking videos. I especially appreciate all the great resource lists she provided!
By Cristina Capela on 5/10/2016
Is excellent for a beginner, but in my opinion there's still some information missing, like how to export the videos, what are the keywords commands that she's using (she just use them on the video, but won't tell you which keys to press). Besides that, it was a great learning source for me!
By Teresa Trimm on 12/5/2015
I can't fault it in any way, other than the fact that it is Mac-centric, but the information is good, regardless. Great job!

This course has shown tricks and tips for editing professional cooking videos. Thank you for sharing your workflow. I am now empowered to start making my own videos.
By Sarah Matthews on 5/1/2015
This course was simple to understand and I learnt the appropriate things I needed to. Good resources and well organised.
By Paul Schide on 4/8/2015
The course was Good, however, Your editing instruction, (38min.), was way too long. I think that a couple of examples of when to cut would have been sufficient. Overall, good instruction. I use my ipad, iphone, keynote and imovie (+ several other apps) to get the same end result.
By Joyce Nichols on 12/11/2014
I always wondered how they make the end card, and after seeing how simple it is, I am kicking myself for not using it before now :) Really great course!
