Dear Student,
I'm Jason Rose, a Senior Lecturer in the Editing discipline at the American Film Institute Conservatory. I also teach regularly at KeyCode Education in Burbank and for StudioArts Online. With more than 30 years of professional experience as an editor, colorist, producer, and filmmaker, I bring real-world insight into every lesson. I hold a Bachelor of Science in TV/Film from Texas Christian University and a Master of Fine Arts in Film and Television from Mount Saint Mary's University. I am a certified instructor in Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, and I've spent nearly 20 years training editors and filmmakers across a wide range of skill levels.
My approach to teaching is practical, patient, and focused on building real skills you can use immediately. Whether you're just starting out or looking to strengthen your workflow in a specific NLE, I tailor each session to your goals and current level. I draw from my professional credits - including color work on American Ninja Warrior, online editing on Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman and Rock the Block, and editing on multiple Lifetime films - to show you how professional editors actually work. My goal is to help you not only master the technical side of editing but also develop the confidence and creative problem-solving skills that will serve you throughout your career.
