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.

Chapter 03— Real Projects at Pikazzo

You don’t edit stock footage. You will be editing Real Productions.


Punjabi Video Song Pikazzo has a very strong foothold in the Punjab content and music video industry, so you will be editing real Punjabi music video footage. This will include performance shots, location B-roll, multi-camera setups and the sort of complex visual material that professional editors work with every day. The music video edits you create at Pikazzo will be portfolio-ready right off the bat.

Cinema-Grade Footage from the RED Dragon With Pikazzo’s in-house RED Dragon Cinema Camera you’ll be editing RED RAW footage learning to work with the dynamic range, manage the data pipeline, build color grades from a flat RAW file and deliver the kind of cinema output that only comes from working with professional cinema material.

Brand Films & Ad Contents You will be working on short advertising and brand film projects editing tight and impactful content to a brief and a deadline, just like a working editor in an agency or production house would do.

Short Films & Narrative Projects Students of Pikazzo’s Film Making program produce short films and video editing students cut them. Working with other departments in this way mimics a real production environment and builds the kind of real-project experience that production houses are looking for when they hire editors.
