Alex the Video Editor + Tutor - Los Angeles, California

Dana J.

I was stuck. I filmed over 5-hours of conversations with family members in hopes of cutting together a documentary of our history. I had purchased Adobe Premiere Pro and figured I could learn how to edit as I go. Silly me. Hours of watching "How to" videos and years later, I wasn't close to finishing this gift to my family. Enter Alex Estevez. A video editor who offers to teach the basics of editing to newbies using material he provides. Fortunately for me he also will work with footage the student already has. He offers a few different packages and I opted for four 2-hour lessons, covering assembly through color correction and audio enhancing. I'm not a seasoned pro, but I now have the knowledge to get my project back on track. And if I get stuck again, I know who to call.

Thank you, Alex!

Been working with Alex for a few years now and his video edits are top tier, very professional. His attention to detail with video, sound, graphics, visual affects, etc. in his finished work is truly fantastic!

What a fantastic time we had learning Adobe Premier with Alex. He was through in his explanations and was able to provide answers to every question we had. Highly recommend!

I needed to find someone to teach me Premiere Pro, and found Alex on here. I can't begin to tell you how much Alex taught me during our 4 tutoring sessions together. I went from knowing very little to confidently editing my own creative materials in a very short time period. Alex also has a very detailed approach to teaching you organization within Premiere Pro per industry standard, so you can apply your editing skills anywhere and collaborate with other editors with confidence. Highly recommend!

Alex's Premiere Pro lessons are very thorough and methodical. He has years of professional experience and draws upon this wealth of knowledge to personalize lesson plans and help students build a solid foundation in the various functions of the program. I've also benefited from his instruction in learning how to properly organize and streamline my edits according to professional standards. Overall, the lessons have been a very positive and enriching experience in my editing journey, and I'm grateful to have had this teacher!

Alex has been our freelance videographer and editor of choice at NEOGOV for a few years now, and working with him is truly a pleasure. Together we worked on promotional as well as instructional video content. I would recommend him to anyone looking for quality, professional work, specifically because of how easy it is to work with him.

He brings not only an impressive skill in video editing, but a great positive attitude. Each day he would pop into the office with a cheerful and genuine greeting to all members of the team.

He is committed to getting to a quality video that matches your vision for the final product. He is quick to respond, communicates openly, and collaborates well with all stakeholders involved to really nail the goals of each project. From brainstorming to final files, Alex exceeded expectations and never missed a deadline.

Alex is a great choice as a partner for any video project, and I highly recommend him. His positive attitude and warm personality put him a notch above others I have worked with, and I look forward to our future projects.

I recently completed 8 hours of Zoom tutorials with Alex as an introduction to Adobe Premiere Pro. It was a perfect experience and exceeded my goals and expectations. I found Alex online while looking for someone to help me edit old family videos that I had had digitalized a few years ago. I wasn't looking to do anything too fancy--just wanted to delete footage (20 minutes worth) of a wall my husband accidentally filmed and perform similar basic tasks. I concluded it would take too long and be too expensive to hire someone to do the editing and opted instead to learn a new skill. I am 69 years old with no prior video editing experience (and very little photo editing experience). Alex was kind and patient throughout and his explanations were always at a level I could understand. For me, the most valuable part was recording the four 2-hour lessons so I could review them as needed--and I have, many times. I know I have barely scratched the surface of what Premiere Pro can do but I was able to put together a lovely 30 minute video of my daughter's first three Thanksgivings, complete with titles and music, which I "premiered" for my family at Thanksgiving dinner last week! Alex helped me not be afraid of the software and I find new things each time I open a project and work on it. It has been great fun.

I had the good fortune of stumbling on to Alex​'​s services ​via a Google search, and I'm grateful that I found the best tutor for my specific editing needs. Alex​'​s wealth of knowledge is just unreal, but it’s also coupled with patience, kindness, and a very clear way of teaching. I feel like you’re not only investing in improving your skills and career, but you’re also investing in saving ​a​ lot of time. For example I came to Alex for a very particular editing aspect, however he threw out ​an editing shortcut with something else that literally saved me hours and hours of time with ​my ​other ​field of ​video work. I absolutely couldn’t believe it.

With everything being so mainstream and ​on the spot these days, having these tools under your belt it’s really invaluable​ in understanding your craft​ & excelling in your field. I feel like whether you​r ​editing journey​ is ​for ​creative aspects,​ or to​ improve your business, Alex​ will be very instrumental in getting you there. ​

I’m already looking forward to our next lesson, very grateful.
