Your Instructor

I'm Erik Loots, the founder of TwentieFour, a video production company dedicated to supporting clients with a sustainable and social focus. I began my journey as a freelance cameraman and editor 12 years ago, coinciding with the release of Final Cut Pro X. Despite its initial clunkiness, I was mesmerised by its revolutionary approach to editing, and it brought immense joy to my work. I believe video editing is an incredible skill, equivalent to learning how to write or paint, and I'm excited to share the editor's mindset with you to help you advance quickly.
