The lab
Inside the Edit Lab
Graded reference displays
Sessions run in the Edit Lab with graded reference displays, so you judge a grade on a proper screen rather than a laptop panel.
Footage shot for the course
The in-house shoot studio on the same floor means you edit footage shot for the exercise, not only downloaded stock.
Two apps, one pipeline
Premiere Pro is the cut; DaVinci Resolve is the grade, the Fairlight mix and the master, taken from a card dump to a delivered film.
Motion on the same floor
After Effects for kinetic type, logo stings and explainers, with Illustrator and a little Cinema 4D Lite behind it.

How to choose the best video editing academy in Calicut
- Do they teach the cut AND the colour? Most teach one app. Look for Premiere Pro for the edit and DaVinci Resolve for colour and finishing, taught as one pipeline.
- What screens do you grade on? Colour work needs a trustworthy display. Rootmedia's Edit Lab has graded reference displays.
- Do you edit real formats? Reels, product films and event edits, cut to a brief, not only tutorial footage.
- Who reviews your timeline, and how big is the batch? Small batches, reviewed by editors who still take client work, beat a big room with a projector.
- Where did past students go? Ask for names and roles. The placement cards on this page are real Rootmedia students working as editors and videographers.
