Course Highlights:
🔹 Introduction to Video Editing & CapCut
Get clear on what video editing really is and where CapCut fits among industry tools. Explore editing styles—short-form, long-form, cinematic, and social-first—and learn the CapCut interface on both mobile and desktop, including the timeline, preview window, project panel, and media library.
🔹 Importing & Media Management
Bring in videos, images, and audio with ease. Organize your assets, understand supported formats and resolutions, and set up tidy project structures that keep your workflow fast and stress-free.
🔹 Timeline & Core Editing
Master the essentials: adding clips to the timeline, trimming, splitting, deleting, and rearranging. Learn ripple edits, fine trimming, jump cuts, and practical pacing to tell tight, compelling stories.
🔹 Transitions, Speed & Reverse
Upgrade flow and rhythm with clean transitions (including custom durations and creative tricks). Control momentum using speed ramps, slow motion, fast motion, and reverse playback—plus best practices for handling slow-mo footage.
🔹 Sound Design & Audio Mixing
Import background music, add sound effects, and manage levels like a pro. Use fades, balance voice/music, and extract audio when needed to deliver polished, emotionally resonant edits.
🔹 Text, Titles & Auto-Captions
Create attention-grabbing titles, lower thirds, and kinetic text. Use CapCut’s auto-caption tool to improve accessibility and retention while keeping on-brand styling across your videos.
🔹 Creative Editing Toolkit
Go beyond basics with overlays, cropping, and aspect-ratio changes for platform-perfect results. Remove or change backgrounds, refine dialogue edits, build intros/outros, keyframe movements, and explore powerful editing options that boost production value.
🔹 Visual Effects & AI Tools
Work with multi-layer editing, AI effects, AutoCut, motion tracking, masking, color grading, clone edits, and chroma key (greenscreen). Then push further with showpiece effects like disappear, teleportation, ghost, fire, and bomb explosion.
🔹 Exporting, Publishing & Platform Strategy
Choose the right settings for every destination—resolution, bitrate, and format for TikTok/Reels/YouTube. Learn practical publishing tips so your videos look crisp and perform well across platforms.
🔹 Capstone Project & Career Planning
Apply your skills in three portfolio-ready projects: a 30-second TikTok/Reel, a 3-minute YouTube video, and a cinematic short. Map your creative pathway—build a repeatable workflow, showcase your edits, and earn a certificate to share with clients and employers.
