My name is Uwais Adam and I've been teaching and learning video editing for the past 6 years on YouTube via my channel: RED ALERT!. After teaching myself all that I know and learning new things about this craft on a daily basis, I realized I needed to put all my knowledge together in one cohesive package in order to teach people about this art that I love so dearly.

Video editing is easy to learn, fun and extremely useful in the world we live in today. Whether you're editing short promotional videos for your business, making YouTube videos, putting together a heartfelt birthday display for your loved one or just messing around and having fun - video editing is extremely valuable and makes all of that possible.

So I hope you come along this journey with me, and get editing!
