Derek Lieu - Invidious

Derek Lieu

I’m a professional trailer editor who share tips and tricks for how to edit great trailers!

I made this channel to teach people how to make great trailers using, tutorials, essays reviews, and behind-the-scenes looks at the art of making trailers.

Trailers are a niche industry, but I know there are a lot of people interested in watching and making them; I want to bring together everyone who shares my love for this fun and exciting art form.

Some of my credits include: Among Us, Half-Life: Alyx, Psychonauts 2, Subnautica, Spelunky 2, Dead Cells, Ooblets, Katana ZERO and more!

I got my start in the movie trailer industry as an assistant editor at a house which produced for: The Matrix Trilogy, Spider-Man, Pirates of the Caribbean and many more.
