We're just people who really care about editing
Kkaldex started because someone noticed a pattern. Talented people kept hitting the same wall when learning to edit — not the technical stuff, but the thinking part. How to make decisions. When to cut, when to hold. That kind of thing.
So we built something different. Not a massive platform with thousands of generic lessons, but a focused space where you can learn motion picture editing the way working editors actually do it.
Real-world focus
Every lesson ties back to actual projects. We skip theory that doesn't help you make better cuts.
Honest feedback
You'll get straightforward notes on your work. Not harsh, just clear about what's working and what isn't.
Flexible pacing
Life happens. Learn when you can, without artificial deadlines pushing you faster than makes sense.
How we got here
Back in 2019, our founder was teaching evening workshops in a cramped room above a café in Linz. The students were enthusiastic but consistently frustrated by the same problems. Not software crashes or technical issues — more like "I know what I want this scene to feel like, but I can't get there."
That's when it clicked. Most education focuses on the tools. Which button does what. But editing is really about rhythm, emotion, pacing. The human stuff that makes footage come alive.
Started with film lovers
Our first students were hobbyists making short films on weekends. They taught us what beginners actually struggle with.
Refined the curriculum
Over time, we stripped out everything that felt like busywork and doubled down on hands-on practice with real footage.
Built a community
Students started helping each other, sharing projects, giving feedback. That peer learning became central to how we teach.
People you'll learn from
Fredrik Lindstrom
Lead Curriculum DesignerFredrik spent years cutting trailers and documentaries before realizing his real passion was teaching others how to think like editors. He's the one who designs most of our exercises and picks the footage you'll work with.
Oskar Bjornson
Technical Learning CoordinatorOskar bridges the gap between complex editing software and learners who just want to tell better stories. He's your go-to person when you're stuck on technical stuff but need to keep moving forward with your project.
