Capcut Video Editing Course
Go from a raw clip to a published 45โ60 second vertical video in fifteen days. Cutting, sound, subtitles, B-roll, keyframes, masking, colour and the hook-and-retention edit โ one project carried through every day.
Course Overview
Fifteen days, one video. This course does not teach features in isolation โ every day moves your own project one step further, from a blank timeline on day one to a published 45โ60 second vertical video on day fifteen.
You start by understanding the editing workflow and making your first clean cuts. You plan a shoot, gather your own A-roll and B-roll, then build the edit up in layers: clean dialogue, background music and sound effects, subtitles and text, overlays, transitions, keyframe animation and masking. The last week is what separates a finished video from a rough one โ colour correction, colour grading, and the storytelling edit that keeps people watching.
What you leave with
- A finished, published 9:16 video of your own, 45โ60 seconds
- A repeatable editing workflow: A-roll, B-roll, text, overlay, keyframe, mask, audio, colour
- Your own shooting plan, shot list and B-roll library
- A colour-corrected and colour-graded final cut with a proper export
Who it is for
Anyone starting from zero: content creators, social media managers, small business owners editing their own promos, and students who want a practical skill in a fortnight. Taught in CapCut, so you can keep editing on a laptop or a phone after the course ends.

CapCut. It runs on both a laptop and a phone, it is free to start with, and everything in the syllabus โ keyframes, masking, colour correction and grading โ is available in it. The workflow you learn transfers to any other editor.
A phone is enough. Day three is a real shoot: you plan it, then collect your own A-roll and at least five B-roll shots. Everything after that day is edited from your own footage.
A published 45โ60 second vertical video of your own, carried through every stage โ rough cut, audio, subtitles, B-roll, transitions, keyframes, masking, colour correction and grading, then a proper export.
For a complete short-form workflow, yes, because you work on one project the whole way through instead of starting over each day. It is not a substitute for a full post-production course โ colour grading, motion graphics and sound design each go far deeper than a fortnight allows.
