An AMV class??

If you are wearing a loincloth you aren't naked your underwear is just dated. Vlad? (too hard to resist)

I've seen a few cons hold amv advice panels, they are more common than you think. And there is always actually taking an editing or aftereffects class via college.

This. If you take a class on video editing (available at nearly any college), you're going to learn the underlying concepts of what works and what doesn't. Once you know these, you can easily transfer them into editing whatever you like, on whatever software you're comfortable with.
