become your favorite youtuber's editor in just 5 weeks.

pov: you want to make cute edits, but don’t even know where to start.

Right now, you’re:

  • overwhelmed with the idea of learning a new skill – but it looks soooo fun
  • stuck in beginner mode unsure how to level up
  • downloading random presets and hoping they look cool
  • stalking freelancing sites but feeling invisible
  • insecure about your portfolio (or how to build one without clients)

You want someone to just show you the way — from zero to dream-client-ready.

Right now, you’re:

  • trying to bring your aesthetic vision to life… but the results feel off
  • wasting hours tweaking edits that still feel low-key cringe
  • copying trends but not building your style
  • wondering why your videos don’t look like the ones you love to watch

You want your content to feel intentional, cute, and strategic… without needing a whole production team to get there.

Right now, you’re:

  • stuck between hiring someone or figuring it out yourself (ugh)
  • bored of the “corporate video” look and want something with personality
  • trying to be on YouTube but not sure how to make it worth the effort
  • overwhelmed by editing software and aesthetic decisions

You want videos that actually reflect your brand AND maybe even learn enough editing magic to hand it off later with confidence.

what our students say...​

I loved looking back through other Youtubers’ videos that I love and breaking down what I most enjoy about their editing, to then learn how I could achieve similar results.

As a complete beginner, I found the lessons easy to follow and complete.

I imagine this would still be great for non-beginners looking to expand the styles of videos they create.

It was just so fun!

 

Kyndall

business manager

What I enjoyed the most was being able to pick Maia’s brain – seeing her process while she color grades, and watching her analyze the editing of other Youtubers.

I loved the bite-sized lessons! I’d recommend this course to content/UGC creators looking to develop a more personal, aesthetic editing style and beginner video editors looking to work for content creators.

 

Maria Pasca

UGC creator & marketeer

I would recommend this course to all creative entrepreneurs who want to bring their personal touch to their content and earn an extra source of income by editing for other creators.

This course helped me gain confidence in my editing. I have learned a lot in a short time. Instead of browsing randomly on the internet for tutorials, everything was there in a structured and cute way.

It will surely benefit my business and my YouTube journey.

Ingrid

service planner

I would 100% recommend this course because it’s so much more fun learning FCP in a group setting and getting insights from a professional.

I loved picking Maia’s brain on how she uses Final Cut. The content was amazing and I’m always interested in business and tech topics so module 9 “making it a career” has to be my favorite!

Everything in the course had a nice vibe, including the community and slack channels that were very helpful, organized, and friendly. There was a coolness factor to it!

Also the unique factor (learning cute edits) was very important to me and made it much more fun to learn.

Ann Marie

business manager & podcaster

I highly recommend this course for beginners! I LOVED having homework as it encouraged me to do the work right away + I really enjoyed when Maia shared her thought process while editing and looking for inspiration. I learned a ton, even as an experienced video editor myself!

I had extensive experience with Premiere Pro, and it was very for me to understand FCP.

If you love Maia’s editing style and want to learn how to bring that magic into your own videos, don’t think twice and take this course!

It doesn’t just cover the technical side of editing; it also teaches you how to make videos more engaging and full of personality!

I wish I had this when I was just starting my freelance journey.

Polina

video & podcast editor

During the course, I had no portfolio but decided to apply to a job using a mood board and thumbnails to showcase my ideas. The client was really happy and decided to continue working with me – she even offered me the full rate instead of the trial rate for the first video!

I also joined a group chat and met the loveliest freelancers from around the world. We share our goals, tips, and tricks on freelancing, and it’s been so great to have that community!

Thanks to this course, I’ve embarked on my new freelancing journey! I still refer back to it whenever I need help – it’s given me much more than I expected.

Nhi

business manager

Seeing Maia’s creative process was one of the most helpful parts of the course for me! The lesson “How I make cute edits for my channel” gave me so many ideas!

I plan to stick with Premiere Pro, so seeing the behind the scenes of her workflow made it much more accessible. I don’t think I would have figured that out on my own!

I think this course would be great for someone who sees others’ videos and is like, “Why don’t my videos look like that? What am I missing?”. This will help you take videos from “Ok” to “Fantastic”!

Regan

UGC creator & product photographer

“One of my favorite things was the best friend energy from Maia—she makes it feel like you’re learning from someone who genuinely believes in you. It’s not this distant, guru-type vibe. Instead, it feels totally doable – you apply what you’re learning and make progress in real time.

I joined mostly for the cute doodles and animations, and it totally delivered! It opened up a creative side I hadn’t explored before and unlocked a whole new skill set.

I’d been using FCP for a while (self-taught) so it was a game-changer to finally learn where everything is and what all the tools actually do.

This course is perfect for anyone who feels a bit lost with editing and wants to add that extra cute and creative touch to their content.”

Love Notes

about Maia

In 7th grade, I asked my mom if I could start a YouTube channel—she said yes, as long as she approved every video first (embarrassing, but fair).

I quickly fell in love with crafting stories and rotting behind the computer editing for long hours. I thought everyone loved it too—until I realized most creators dread post-production and would rather delegate it asap. Lucky for us!

In high school, I started editing videos for an internet friend, which led me to freelancing platforms and a year later, I graduated with a small roster of freelance clients that paid the bills – crazy!

50+ clients later, Deya (my client-friend-now business partner) convinced me that it could be cool to help other people do the same. So… here we are!

about Deya

Heya!

I’m a business owner & lucky client of Maia’s.

Before I found her, I probably spent 200+ hours scrolling through editor portfolios. I didn’t want to do the whole aggressive transitions & corporate fonts style. (You know, the one that makes your video look like it was edited by an energy drink.)

In a world where everyone’s trying to be the loudest, there’s something magical about content that is edited in an intentional, cute, girly way. Maia’s been the genius doing that in my videos, helping me grow the channel from 10,000 to over 150,000 subscribers.

So, as a course creator myself I’m excited to help her share it all!
