The Video Editor Internship Program is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in video editing, post-production, and visual storytelling. Interns will work on a variety of video projects ranging from promotional videos and social media content to short films and corporate videos. The program will teach essential video editing techniques, from basic cuts to advanced visual effects and motion graphics.
Throughout the internship, students will gain proficiency with industry-standard video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, as well as motion graphics tools like Adobe After Effects. By the end of the program, interns will be able to independently edit high-quality videos and be well-prepared to pursue a career in video production, media, or entertainment.
