Smartphone editing in less than *2 hours we teach you video the Pain Free Way.
Save Hours, & Improve Your Video Editing Skills
with Effortless Video Editing Techniques
It’s everything you need to quickly master creating Videos on Your Smartphone.
Let me ask you something…
If there was a simple way to edit a video on your smartphone so quickly that your friends begged you to do it for them, would you be interested?
What if you knew there is a way you could edit a video in a few minutes (not hours) … would you find the task less daunting?
My name is Dean Paarman, and here’s something few people know…
You can edit a video on your Phone, 10x better and faster than you can imagine, by just following a simple process.
If you have...
- never edited a video in your life
- already tried to edit a video and given up
- made a video and were too embarrassed to share it
- cant find an app that is easy to use
- disheartened by the time consuming process
... then listen up!
It is possible for you to create videos that are so good others might accuse you of having outsourced your editing to a professional.
You don’t need a 3 year degree in filmmaking, a PhD in computer science or any expensive training at all. Hell, you don't even need a fancy DSLR camera.
And I’m going to prove it to you.

How to make good videos faster
The process we found is simple, and turned out to be even faster than we thought it could be.
By learning how to edit videos with a new system, our Youtube portfolio took a quantum leap forward. We have over 400 videos & vlogs on our YouTube channel and done 100’s more for our clients.
I started to study many of my best videos from over the years.
Why did some videos become crowd favorites and other sat without views?
Well, I found patterns.
There was something that made some video more engaging than others and this is what I want to share with you.
Of all of the things I found, nothing stood out more than the structure of the video.
It's so damn simple.
The videos that were edited in a simple repeatable structure out-performed all the others. Why is this you might wonder?
Because humans love a good story. They will pick a real story over a beautiful cinematic video clip every time. Ever noticed how many viral videos are unedited clips of great moments? How many of those short stories of a miracle moment or underdog have 100 million views when the beautiful cinematic drone/time lapse sequence only had 400k views.
Now scale those numbers down to normality.
Would you not want to make a video that gets 1000s of views rather than only 10 views? (which are from your immediate friends and family)
"Making an emotive story" is very likely not what you think it is. It's way easier than you imagine. All you need to make a story is the right recipe for your edit. You can make a story out of a handful of clips and photos.
This sparked the idea of creating editing templates. Templates that were molded off our most successful videos. Templates that are easy to follow.
TEMPLATES? OK STOP.
I hate the word templates!
Because templates means generic stupid same-same looking videos. A template is designed to give you results that looks the same. I didn't want that. I wanted a unique video each time.
So instead, we call them: recipes.
When different people follow a recipe in the kitchen, the chances of the end-result coming out differently are super high.
Why do my mother’s brownies taste different to my grandmothers, when they use the same recipe?
Because they each add in their own touch. Different ovens? One might use more butter - the other more sugar.
Who knows? I make video recipes, not food recipes.
Enter content creation
With the increased demand for video-media on the ever-expanding internet, it was clear there is a supply and demand problem here.
More and more people need/want video now.
And what's more, Social Media changed the landscape so that people want real videos now.
When smartphones started implementing better cameras, an opportunity arose. Side story: I made my first short film (it's terrible, but funny) in 2008 with an old Nokia.
It was the first phone I owned with a camera.

People want real stories by real people.
As Travelvids.tv started to develop, Darren & I decided to build a successful interactive video workshop to help businesses & everyday people become content creators.
I started helping businesses understand their potential of creating their own marketing content without the price tag of a production company.
I started helping people turn their clogged up phone albums into videos stored on Youtube and Facebook for their family and friends to enjoy.
None of the people I helped needed to go through what I went through. None of them had to become professional editors to make videos others wanted to watch. They just followed my basic step by step instructions.
We took everything we learned from our workshop and courses (and everything I’ve learned in the years since then) to transform our courses and products into what they are today.
I started out playing with all the wrong tools. I almost gave up the pursuit of making videos entirely, but I don't want you to go through what I had to learn.
Instead learn from what I learnt and you will be able to make video content in a single afternoon.
Edit an entire video in 15 minutes.

To start out, the first thing you want to do is group up all the clips you are going to need for your edit. Doesn't matter whether it’s on a computer or a Smartphone, just round em up and save the clips to a single folder or album.
If you have a really big project then sub group them again into subfolders if you can.
Now all you need to do is find and apply the right recipe to create the video.
This might sound complicated, but all our students repeatedly tell us that I have a gift for making complicated concepts easy to understand and simple to use…
I share my knowledge in a way that even a non-techie, “filming & editing beginner” can grasp immediately.
No film school stuff from me.
In fact sometimes I go completely against the rules to get results faster.
Before you even open up the editing app you should already know the fastest and most effective way to edit your video.
You have your recipes ready thanks to us, and now all you need to do is click a new project.
You open the editing app without a single worry about the multitude of video clips that are waiting for you.
Making the initial selection of your favorite moment feels almost automatic now that you know a couple of little tricks.
You open the app, and import the video clips album / folder.

I did the Travelvids Video intro course and really enjoyed the experience.
Not having an I-phone worried me a bit and being of an older generation also concerned me but the two presenters did not presume any prior knowledge so started from scratch and gave us some really great tips - how to set up shot lists, how to shoot to limit editing and some good "go-to" sites to assist with editing and music.
I can highly recommend this course for a great intro to creating fun and informative travel videos with your phone.
Truly exemplary course. Really appreciated the focus on creating travel videos. It's helpful to have a specific application or real-world example. I found I could easily carry over the lessons from a travel focus and see how I could apply them in other story types. The highlight lesson was the one which included templates, consisting of shots and scenes, for 3 different kind of travel situations. The other highlight was Dean's demonstration of editing a video in 10 minutes. Finally, he encouraged us to finish our video/s before the end of the day, otherwise we might never get around to it. So true!

I signed up for the Travelvids workshop on impulse and attended without really knowing what to expect.
It was one of those experiences that completely under-promises and over-delivers. I was particularly impressed at how tight you kept the presentation, rarely wandering off the thread and always on point. Everything you covered was useful and relevant. The use of videos to illustrate each step was genius and helped to drive each point home. I left feeling that I had learned a lot of really useful skills that I could use immediately.
One of the best internet courses I have seen...It is amazingly succinct and yet incredibly useful...it is unbelievably well designed and built...in the first 5 minutes of the course I had learned exactly what I was looking to learn in order to put together amazing travel videos...! The way the course is constructed is incredibly smart

Our primary focus when starting travelvids was creating travel and tourism videos for the hospitality industry.
We loved what we did and still enjoy creating tourism videos.
We learned quickly that one of the biggest barriers was always the cost of production.
Put simply, commercial video production can be extremely expensive.
So that's where the idea to offer a workshop was bourne
Our workshop was a raging success and we enjoyed teaching a full house.
So much so we that we found ourselves travelling around the country giving video courses to all sorts of industries, from exhibitions to insurances companies.
However, the financial cost to the individual was still too high.
So, 36 months ago we created our first online course and pitched it at a price anyone can afford.
Since then we have received positive feedback from people from all walks of life who have used our courses to master the art of video creation.

If you want to know the basics, this is exactly the course.
Types of shots to be included, what is required to make the video engaging and a few more other basics.
Also includes a simple template to start your own video. So if you want to make a video and don't know where to start, i would definitely recommend this course.
This was EXCELLENT!!!
You were on point, concise and followed a good order. One thing that I GREATLY appreciated were your notes that you supplied. That alone put you above other tutorials. You are an excellent instructor. I know as I have done a great deal during my career. I now follow you on YouTube and enjoy it greatly. Keep up the excellent work!

This course is AWESOME.
If you're looking for a content-rich video making course suitable for someone with zero experience - look no further. Honestly, this course is a masterclass in clear, concise, and engaging teaching. So well done! Thank you for this perfect introduction to making travel videos.
At first i was reluctant to get this course because i am experienced with editing and filming, and i wasn't sure if i'd get any more insight to improve my mobile filming objectives. After committing to it i can happily say I will be buying anything & everything Darren & Dean from Travelvids.tv puts out on Udemy. This course dramatically helped with personal videos i shoot & share with friends on Facebook. The essential tips were direct and to-the-point and lessons are presented in short & sweet segments. I am preparing for a trip and have returned to his course for inspiration and a quick refresher. Love all your examples and applaud this program. I have purchased a ton of courses over the last few years and this one is top-notch!!!

If you think editing video on an Smartphone Can’t Do Everything a computer can… You’d be right, but you can do 100% of everything you will ever need to make a cool video.
When I started editing on an iPhone, it wasn’t nearly as powerful as it is today. Only 12 months ago you couldn't do half of the things apps can do today.
But in the year since then, it’s grown into a tool I (and many journalists even) can happily do all our editing in.
It seems a bit complicated when you’re just starting out, but when you understand what everything does, it becomes very intuitive.
Even learning something as simple as the difference between landscape, portrait, frame size, will change the way you process your video forever.
iPhone and Android apps can edit much much better video than you realise. And “Effortless Editing with Your Smartphone” shows you how.
We make sure that this course is always up to date. As the apps add more and more features, we’ll be making new videos to keep you in the know.
So here is the real value:
We want to give that feeling that you're not making a mistake by taking this course, so here is the added value you won't get anywhere else.
Now that you know what you’re getting with Effortless Editing with Your Smartphone– I’m going to Triple the value.
SPECIAL BONUS #1
In addition to the video course on Video Editing… you’re also getting our Effortless Filming with Your Smartphone Course.
We feel that this is an integral part of the process of completing your video and making your editing even easier in the future.

SPECIAL BONUS #2
You’re also getting a 20 minute 1 on 1 chat with me, to answer your most burning questions about video editing before you start on your Smartphone editing journey.
