19 steps to Freedom as a Freelance Video Editor

(WHILST JUGGLING YOUR FULL-TIME COMMITMENTS)

 

“I have to say it is the best training I have ever done.” – Jack, London

 

If you’ve been feeling stuck with your current work you’re not alone. Boring work sucks the life out of us. When we’re young we feel pressured to make decisions about the path we should take in life. They usually involve very limited options that the generation before us decided were safe. Or we make a decision based on the skills and options we had available to us at the time. Well, things have changed.

You’re a much more talented and ambitious person than you were back then, and you have a lot more options available to you. Plus, you’ve moved past whatever was holding you back.

You don’t have to settle for boring work anymore. The pandemic taught us that no job is safe, and you’re better working for yourself than someone else – because you’re not going to fire yourself!

 

It’s time for a new beginning.

 

It’s time to say no to the boring commute, and the boss that doesn’t respect your time. It’s time to find the freedom you’ve been craving in your work for too long. It’s time for a new chapter in your life that allows you to work where you want, when you want. It’s time to create work that moves people and leaves a legacy for you to reflect on.

 

It’s time to become a freelance video editor.

 

Because everybody deserves to do work they enjoy.

“Other programs out there show you how to use the program barebones, but Unsplice is teaching how to become a career editor.” Lulu, USA

 

 

Unsplice helps you escape mundane work by training you to become a career video editor so that you can take back control of your time and say yes to work you enjoy, wherever you want to do it.

 

 

 

WHAT IS UNSPLICE PRO?

We asked ChatGPT to write an introduction to Unsplice Pro in the style of Ernest Hemingway:

The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the city. The hum of the daily grind was fading into the distance, but for one person, the monotony of their job remained. They were stuck, longing for something more. But where could they turn? That’s when they heard of Unsplice Pro.

Unsplice Pro promised a new beginning, a way to escape the dullness of their job and find their place as a freelance video editor. With a step-by-step plan and a community of like-minded individuals, they would no longer feel lost in the world of work. It was a simple choice – stay stuck or take the chance and find freedom. And so, they took the leap, joining Unsplice Pro and embarking on the journey towards a fulfilling career.

This is the story of how Unsplice Pro changed one person’s life, and it can change yours too. Because everyone deserves to do work they enjoy.

Is it dramatic? Sure. But the storyteller within us editors can’t help but love it.

YOU’RE 19 STEPS AWAY FROM BECOMING A FREELANCE VIDEO EDITOR

Great news! The Unsplice system is designed so you don’t have to know everything to start earning income as an editor. You simply start with smaller jobs that don’t need a great deal of skill. Then, while you’re earning you work on your skills so that you can progress towards bigger and better paid jobs (and the lifestyle) that bring you joy.

This is achievable by following the Unsplice 19-step ‘Quick Career Plan’ – a simple but proven framework for becoming a freelance career editor that clients love and will pay higher rates for.

One student, Mike, started earning income as a freelance video editor in only 3 months by following the plan. (You can hear from Mike further down the page.)

Essentially, this system means you’re getting PAID to get better at editing. Contrast that with a traditional film school that takes $63,000 per year away from you.

All the training needed to achieve each step is contained within Unsplice Pro.

 

 

IS THIS FOR ME?

Unsplice Pro is for

  • All self-taught video editors who are unsure of industry standard practices
  • Anyone interested in working as a professional non-scripted video editor on commercials, documentaries, branded content, fashion films, music videos, content creation, and trailers

Membership is not for those who are looking for a quick and easy solution. This is a comprehensive training program that requires you to take action to reap the biggest rewards – but the rewards are well worth it.

Unsplice focuses on non-scripted editing. If you are interested in editing scripted as well as non-scripted then Unsplice Pro is also for you. If you are only interested in scripted editing then this is not for you.

THE PLATFORM

Here’s a quick tour of the platform you will get immediate access to upon joining Unsplice Pro.

 

 

 

BONUSES

Sign up to Unsplice Pro today and you get these limited bonuses.

 

BONUS 1 – ‘START HERE’ CUSTOM CAREER CALL

Following the 19-step Quick Career Plan gives you a stronger chance of success when launching your freelance video editing career.

If you’re wondering, “I don’t know where to start?” or “My situation is different. I’m not starting from the same place as everyone else”, you will love this bonus.

For a limited time, when you join Unsplice Pro you will receive a 1-on-1 call with (Lead Trainer/Founder) Shiny to build a personalised career plan so you know exactly what to do next, based on what experience you already have.

So no matter where you are on your video editing journey, you’ll have a clear path of what to do each day to become a career editor.

The advice will be based on 15 years knowledge as a professional commercial and documentary editor and employer – that means you’re getting insider knowledge on exactly what employers AND clients are looking for that you are missing.

This offer is limited by the number of hours in Shiny’s day. Once demand outstrips supply the offer will stop, so hurry before he gets too busy!

VALUE – $300

 

BONUS 2 – DISCOVER YOUR DAY RATE

The whole purpose of following the plan and doing the training is to help you find freelance work. But how much should you charge once you get there? Charge too little and you’re leaving money on the table, charge too much and you may lose a client.

Sign up for Unsplice Pro today and you’ll get personal help figuring out how much to charge. You’ll be safe in the knowledge you’re not losing money every day. Plus this is another way we help ensure membership pays for itself.

This offer is also limited by the number of hours in Shiny’s day. It’s for action takers who are serious about becoming a career editor, so hurry before he gets too busy!

VALUE – $300

 

BONUS 3 – 4K FOOTAGE FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO

When you’re trying to build out your portfolio it can be difficult to find projects to work on. This bonus solves that issue with a free month of access to FindStory, PLUS a 20% discount on any of their subscriptions.

Sometimes stock footage looks obvious because there are no other shots like it in your edit. This can make it difficult to show off your editing skills in a portfolio. With FindStory you can download scenes shot from multiple angles with multiple takes, so you can build a story using only stock footage. All in professionally shot 4K. This means you can edit stories for your portfolio without having to go out and shoot anything.

PLUS when you sign up through Unsplice and create a great edit using their footage, they’ll promote your edit to their network of production companies and creators.

VALUE – FindStory Subscription $69 (Promotion = $PRICELESS)

 

 

COST

Film editors have film school. Video editors have Unsplice.

So, how much does film school cost?

Well, USC charges $63,468 per year. Add living expenses and that comes to $85,648. That’s $7,137 per month!

And that’s a full-time commitment. Unsplice Pro is designed to fit around your current full-time commitments so that you don’t have to interrupt your income stream or shell out for any extra expenses.

Our goal is to ensure this membership pays for itself. If you saw Mike’s testimonial earlier on this page, in 6 months he was editing at a level that would normally take 2/3 years of practicing on your own. That means he’s able to increase his rate and give himself nearly 3 years of salary raises in only 6 months thanks to Unsplice Pro.

So membership really does pay for itself.

 

 

“The value of the course far exceeds £1000.” – Mark, Ireland – about only one of the many courses included on the platform

 

 

 

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

The platform is constantly being improved and the price change reflects the increase in value for members.

Whatever price you pay when you join is the price you pay for as long as you are a member. Protect yourself from the price increase by signing up now.

Unsplice Pro has the power to change your life forever. Invest in yourself before time runs out
