If you’re still not sure the Video Editing Accelerator is the right fit for you, see if any of these apply to you…


You want to use your creativity

You are so much more than your 9-5 and maybe you want to apply your creativity to a new venture. Whether it’s related to your day job or a totally different side-hustle, video offers the opportunity to express your creativity.

You want to show up in a way that you’re comfortable

Even us introverts can confidently show up online. We all have unique goals and visions for how we want to run our businesses and video offers us the opportunity to speak to our audience in the comfort of our own home without the need for all the anxiety that comes with presenting on a topic in-person.

You are in need of a change and want to pivot!

Burnout is not uncommon and it’s okay to pivot to something new. Devote a couple hours a week to learning a new skill so you can comfortably change directions.

Still on the fence?


Send us a message with your question.

Hi, I'm Sara.


I’m a Licensed, Registered Dietitian and small business owner.


I’m an introvert who struggles with public speaking, but video content has proved to me to be an advantageous medium to share my value, worth and knowledge with the world. Will you join me?


I want to set you up with the skills to confidently step in front of the camera and create much needed educational health and nutrition content.


Let's DO this.

FAQs


What software do I need for this course?

This course utilizes iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Descript, CapCut, and Canva. You will have the easiest time moving through the content if you use these editing programs. You can get started with free trials or free versions of each of the programs.  I chose these because they are what I’m most familiar with and iMovie is a great free option to get started with. Final Cut Pro is a great paid option to transition to if you want to continue growing your editing skills. Canva is a popular online program many dietitians are already using, so it’s a great resource to take advantage of for creating video content.


What equipment do I need for this course?

At minimum you will need a camera and a computer with editing software. I use a smartphone to film, a Mac to edit on, and see previous question about software.


Will this course teach me how to edit YouTube videos?

Yes! This is a perfect course to get started with learning to edit videos, including YouTube videos.


Will this course teach me how to edit cooking demos?

Yes! The skills you will learn in this course will enable you to edit many different kinds of videos, including cooking demos. Check out the CapCut module, which demonstrates editing a recipe video for social media.


Will this course teach me how to edit videos for online courses?

Yes! The skills you will learn in this course will enable you to edit many different kinds of videos, including video content for online courses.


How long should it take me to complete this course?

It really depends. The course contains about 9 hours of video modules with projects to complete along the way. It’s a self-paced course and I set it up so that each module should take you about 1-2 weeks to complete if you spend about 1-4 hours each week working through the content. Some modules have more "homework" than others so some may take longer. I expect this to be a 12 week course, but you have lifetime access to the content so you can really move at your own pace.


How long do I have access to the content?

Pay-in-full enrollments have access for the lifetime of the course. Student discounted enrollment comes with one year of access.


Does this course include 1:1 coaching?

No. However, there are weekly office hours to get your questions answered, plus you have 24/7 access to a private Facebook group. You can also email me if you have any questions that you’re not comfortable sharing in the group.


Do you offer refunds or a money-back guarantee?

If you sign up and start to move through the content, but find you’re not thrilled with the course, I offer a 30-day refund policy.


In order to qualify for a refund you must contact me at [email protected] within 30 days of purchase AND have consumed less than 15% of the course content.


I do this to maintain the integrity of the course and accompanying materials.


Do you offer student discounts?

Yes. Fill out the application here. Contact me directly at [email protected] for information about student my discount. “Student” applies to undergraduates, graduate students, dietetic interns, and those who are exam eligible.


Do you offer BIPOC discounts?

Yes.  Fill out the application here. Feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] if you have any questions.


I struggle with tech, is this easy to follow?

Each editing module takes you through step-by-step how to create your video, add text, insert audio, and add various effects. If you’re worried about ease of use, I suggest checking out my course preview to get a gauge of whether this course is right for you. If you still have concerns, please feel free to reach out at [email protected]m. I also offer a 30-day refund policy (as long as you've completed 15% or less of the content).


Will this course teach me editing in Tiktok and Instagram?

No. This course will not be teaching editing directly in the TikTok or Instagram apps.


What if I use a PC and NOT a Mac?

I suggest checking out one of my mini courses, which include segments of this main course so you can focus on the software options that you're comfortable working in. I'm working on adding more PC-friendly software, but can't guarantee when updates will launch. You would likely be able to glean a lot of information from the course, but it may be challenging to follow along with the projects using PC software.


Will this course teach me how to use a DSLR camera, filming equipment, etc?

No. I do show you my equipment, but this course does NOT go into detail on how to use the equipment, videography, photography, etc.


Does this course offer CEUs?

Not yet, but it's on my radar for the future if there is enough interest.
