Edit video that holds attention
From first cut to final export: Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Filmora and CapCut, taught project by project.
Why this school
Cut video that holds attention.
Video editing is the most in-demand creative skill on the internet, and the fundamentals transfer between every tool: pacing, story, sound, color. Pick the editor that fits your work (CapCut for short-form, Premiere Pro for the industry standard, DaVinci Resolve for a free professional suite) and learn it properly.
Each course walks you from raw footage to a finished, exportable edit. Motion graphics in After Effects comes next when you want titles and animation that lift your work above template territory.

Before you start
Questions people ask about Video Editing & Motion Graphics
Which video editing software should I learn first?
Pick the editor that matches the work you are making. CapCut for short vertical video you want posting this week, DaVinci Resolve for a full professional suite that costs nothing, Premiere Pro if clients or a workplace send you project files, Filmora if you want something between the two. After Effects is not an editor at all. It is motion graphics, and it makes more sense once you can cut.
Is the free version of DaVinci Resolve enough?
Yes, the whole Certificate in Video Editing Using DaVinci Resolve is taught on the free edition. It is not a trial and not a cut-down build: editing, color, audio and Fusion are all in it. The paid Studio edition adds noise reduction, lens correction and stabilization, and none of those are demonstrated in the course. Stay on the free download until something you actually need is missing.
Do I need a powerful computer to edit video?
Not for CapCut or Filmora, which run fine on an ordinary laptop. Color grading, Fusion and After Effects ask for more, and After Effects wants memory before anything else: 16 GB is workable and 32 GB is comfortable. Read the published system requirements before you start rather than four modules in. On a modest machine, begin with CapCut, because pacing, sound and story transfer to every other editor.
Should I learn video editing or motion graphics first?
Editing first, in almost every case. Motion graphics on its own gives you five-second animations and no way to finish a video around them. Learn to cut, pace and mix sound, then take Certificate in Motion Graphics Using Adobe After Effects when you want titles your feed does not already have. If you need one animated title this week, a free tutorial gets you there faster than a course will.
