Saqlain Khan

Founder | CreativeSkool

I’m Saqlain Khan — one of India’s best video editors whose editing have set a new benchmark in the Indian YouTube community, watched and appreciated by millions of viewers across social platforms.

While building my team, I reviewed hundreds of editor portfolios — and realized how rare it is to find editors who understand the psychology behind editing. Most chase flashy transitions and loud SFX, forgetting that great editing isn’t about what you see, but what you feel.

That’s why I created this cohort — to teach what no one else is teaching: the why behind every cut, sound, and story.

My goal is to help India’s next generation of editors master this craft and become the top 1% who can get paid 2–3× more than the average editor.

Bhai, your storytelling is pure masterpiece. The way you script and present thoughts makes even long videos engaging, never feels like a boring lecture. My favourite ones are, ‘How to Build Wealth’ and ‘The Suicide Factory’. Truly, you’ve conquered the art of storytelling.

FAQs

Who will be teaching inside the cohort?

All live sessions will be led by Saqlain Khan — the creator behind millions of documentary views on YouTube.

You’ll learn directly from his complete process — from storyboarding and pacing to sound design and colour grading.

Every concept, challenge, and feedback session is designed and reviewed by Saqlain himself, so you’re learning exactly how real cinematic edits are made.

Who is this cohort for?

For students, editors, and creators who want to master documentary-style editing — the kind of edits that get remembered and paid. Whether you’re a beginner or already editing, this will level up your craft and mindset.

Do I need prior editing experience?

No. We’ll start from the fundamentals of editing psychology and storytelling, not just tools. If you’ve never opened Premiere Pro before, you’ll still be able to follow along and grow week by week.

Which tools will I learn?

Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Audition, Photoshop, plus AI tools like Midjourney, Nanobana, etc. for cinematic AI images and videos.

You’ll learn why and when to use them, not just how.

Will the classes be live or recorded?

All sessions are live (Sat–Sun), and recordings are available for every class so you’ll never miss a session even if you can’t attend live.

What will I have by the end of this cohort?

By the end, you’ll have edited a complete short documentary that feels Netflix-worthy, a polished portfolio, and the skillset to get noticed and paid by creators or brands, not just “learn software”.

How is this different from YouTube tutorials?

Tutorials teach shortcuts.

This cohort teaches judgement, how to edit what people feel, not what they see.

You’ll go through a complete start-to-finish process from planning your story and choosing the right visuals to pacing, music, and final render.

Every week you’ll get assignments, real challenges, and mentor feedback that force you to think like a storyteller, not a technician.

What setup or gear do I need to follow along?

You don’t need a fancy setup to start.

All you need is a laptop or PC that can run editing software like Premiere Pro, After Effects, or DaVinci Resolve.

As you grow and start earning from your edits, you can upgrade your gear step by step, that’s exactly how every professional begins.

Will my editing be limited to documentary-style videos?

Not at all. You’ll learn core editing principles and storytelling techniques that apply to any format: reels, YouTube videos, ads, or long-form content.

But at the same time, you’ll specialise in the most in-demand skill right now: documentary-style editing, the style top creators and brands are shifting to because of its depth, emotion, and cinematic feel.

What happens after the cohort ends?

You’ll always be part of the Edit-to-Earn community,a private network of editors, storytellers, and creators who grow together.

You can interact with fellow editors, share your work, and get access to exclusive job opportunities, collaborations, and updates from our team long after the cohort ends.

Once you join, you’re in the circle for life.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes, if after the first week's live class you feel this isn’t for you, you can request a refund.
