Do More
With Less
Everything you need to start or level up as a content creator, filmmaker, or editor, distilled into one ordered, step-by-step post-production process. Created by Benjamin Gugick. It covers what you need to know about shooting to make a great edit possible, then goes deep on the edit itself, so you can turn any footage into something extraordinary.

Ben’s entire process, in order, start to finish.
The Do More With Less Masterclass is a guide to making cinematic short-form video, focused on post-production, because that’s where the real sauce is.
It takes what’s normally a messy, complicated, all-over-the-place process and turns it into an ordered, well-thought-out list of actionable steps. The exact terms, definitions, and order of operations most people never get handed, which is why most jump into editing with no process at all.
It covers what you need to know about shooting to make a great edit possible, then goes deep on the edit: how to make something extraordinary out of imperfect footage. Any skill level, any age, any gear, anywhere in the world.
For beginners who want to get from nowhere to somewhere, and for working pros who want to get from somewhere to an amazing place. No shortcuts, but no perfectionism either. The whole point is that it’s all simpler than you think.

3 brand new projects edited start to finish, screen recorded and narrated live with nothing cut. You watch every decision get made in real time.
Past projects opened back up on the timeline. Every transition, every effect, every cut, all the inner workings of how each edit was made.
A close look at fellow creators whose work has inspired mine for years, and how the ideas in this masterclass show up in what they make.
Standalone deep dives: speed ramping, keyframing, finding and organizing SFX, generative AI, the event shotlist, and more.

Project breakdowns
10+ past projects opened back up on the timeline. Every transition, every effect, every cut, all the inner workings of how each edit was made. A look behind the curtain at the finished work.
The AI integration
A custom AI agent that connects the masterclass to the AI you already use.
This isn’t another AI subscription. It plugs straight into the one you already have, Claude, ChatGPT, or similar, and connects it directly to the masterclass. Plug it in and you’ve got Ben on call at all times. The integration knows every lesson, every video, and every timestamp.
Your AI, your subscription
Works inside the AI account you already pay for. Nothing extra to buy, nothing new to learn.
Ask anything
Any question about any lesson or video. It answers, then links you to the exact moment it’s taught.
Searches the long edits
Instead of scrubbing 10 hours of an example project, you just ask. It finds the exact timestamp.
Buy it once.
Keep it forever.
Lifetime access, no subscription, the AI integration included. Plus first access to everything new that gets added, and a seat in the Do More With Less community group chat, with the other members and with me.
