P
"I was a working professional in marketing and always edited videos on my phone. The 3-Month Timeline Editing bootcamp at Reliance Animation Academy Ultadanga completely changed what I was capable of. Within 3 months I was doing professional-grade Premiere Pro edits. My company noticed immediately and I've since transitioned into a content production role with a higher salary. Weekend batch was perfect for my schedule."
