Lagos Post-Production Training

Editing is where footage becomes a story.

Video editing, at its most basic, is the art, technique and practice of assembling shots into a coherent sequence. To effectively re-imagine and even rewrite a film, an editor must work creatively with image, story, dialogue, music, pacing and the actors' performances.

In this video editing course in Lagos, you will learn the fundamental concepts and techniques of film editing while being trained on industry tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and After Effects. The course provides a solid foundation for building a successful career in video editing for films, music videos, commercials, events and online media.

The main goal of this training is to produce international-standard video editors who can work as independent editors or as part of a production studio anywhere in the world.

Praxis combines editing theory with practical post-production exercises so you can understand not just which button to click, but why a cut works, how pacing affects emotion, and how sound, color and motion graphics support the final story.

Adobe Premiere Pro

To become a competent editor, you need more than editing software and a workstation. Video editing is more than a few cuts and music. You will learn professional editing workflows, timeline structure, story pacing and practical tools used in film post-production.

Introduction to Adobe Premiere Pro

Learn multicam editing for movies, interviews, talk shows, TV commercials and productions shot with more than one camera.

Masking & Motion Tracking

Use masks and motion tracking to follow objects, isolate parts of a shot and create controlled adjustments inside your footage.

Time Remapping & Transitions

Stretch, compress, reverse, freeze or speed-ramp footage and learn how to create smoother transitions between different speeds.

Basics of Color Correction

Learn color palette, saturation, hue, contrast and the visual basics needed to make footage look cleaner and more balanced.

Codecs & Uncompressed Raw

Understand video codecs such as VP9, H.264, AV1 and H.265, and why raw formats support flexible non-destructive editing.

White Balance & Exposure

Set proper white balance and exposure for stronger highlights, shadows and overall image quality.

Color Correction & Color Grading
