CapCut for Beginners: Short Form Vertical Video Editing for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok

TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, - oh my! Short form vertical videos are everywhere and if you have tried to create this type of content using the tools included on the social media platforms, you already know it can be a struggle. 

This class is here to help you with that! Knowing how to edit this type of content in a video editor, instead of using the limited tools provided on social media platforms, is going to free you up to be more creative and much much less frustrated. 

In this class, you will learn the basics of video editing using CapCut - an app available on both iOS and Android (for FREE as of the time of creating this class). 

You will learn video editing concepts including how to:

• Trim and Rearrange Multiple Clips
• Add Music
• Add Voice Over
• Add Text and Subtitles

Once you complete the class project, you will have a short form vertical video to upload to the platform(s) of your choice and the skills to make multiple styles of vertical video content! 

Don’t worry if you are not a pro content creator - if you have video clips on your phone that you would like to edit, then this class is for you!
