Chapter 01— Course Overview
What is the Video Editing Course at Pikazzo Institute?
Pikazzo Institute Chandigarh is offering a professional level, project based Video Editing Course that covers the entire professional video editing workflow from importing raw footage and organizing the timeline to delivering a finished, export-ready cut for films, social media, YouTube, OTT platforms and Punjabi music video productions. We built our Video Editing Course on real-world formats because the skills needed to edit a 30-second Instagram Reel are different from those needed to edit a 3-minute Punjabi music video, which are again different from editing a feature film. You’ll learn all about these formats, with real projects, real footage, and real deliverables.
