Full Course Overview
Edit Like an Artist represents Hayden Hillier-Smith's complete methodology for approaching video editing as an artistic discipline. The course moves beyond technical tutorials to address the storytelling foundations that have been refined in Hollywood for nearly a century.
What sets this full course apart is its focus on principles over tactics.

The training takes approximately 4+ hours to complete, providing sufficient depth to genuinely transform your editing approach while remaining efficient with your time.
Detailed Module Breakdown
Module 1: The Editing Recipe
This foundational module introduces Hayden's signature three-ingredient editing recipe. This framework has earned him repeat clients among YouTube's biggest creators and works universally across media formats.
You'll understand why this deceptively simple approach produces such compelling results. The recipe can be applied in any non-linear editing system, meaning your investment in learning it pays dividends regardless of what software you currently use or may use in the future. This module establishes the core philosophy guiding all subsequent learning.
Module 2: Storytelling Frameworks
Hayden delivers his go-to storytelling formulas used in professional editing work. You'll learn The Harmon Circle and The Pope in the Pool techniques, understanding both theoretical foundations and practical applications.
The module teaches you to write like an editor—seeing how narrative principles translate into every act, beat, scene, and frame. These aren't abstract academic concepts but practical tools deployed on real projects to create emotional impact. You'll understand why certain cuts feel right and others feel jarring, moving from intuition to intentional decision-making.
Module 3: Macro-Level Editing
This module addresses a critical gap in most editing education: seeing the big picture before making individual cuts. You'll discover methods to prioritize editing outside of your timeline, ensuring every cut serves the overall narrative arc.
Many editors dive immediately into frame-by-frame work without understanding larger structure. Hayden's approach inverts this, teaching you to see story on a macro-level first. This perspective shift often represents the difference between amateur work and professional results, ensuring your technical skills serve storytelling goals.
Module 4: Client Management
Technical skills alone don't build sustainable editing careers. This module covers the soft skills that determine long-term success: working effectively with clients, brainstorming collaboratively during the edit process, and managing expectations throughout projects.
You'll learn how to translate client vision into finished products while maintaining positive relationships that generate repeat business. These professional skills explain why clients like Logan Paul and MrBeast keep returning—technical excellence combined with collaborative professionalism.
