What you’ll learn in theory:
• Fundamentals of video editing: cuts, transitions, pacing, and storytelling
• How to structure a video: intro, buildup, climax, and outro
• Visual grammar: shot types, camera angles, and how they affect emotion
• Audio basics: clean sound, music selection, and sound design principles
• Color theory: balancing, matching, and creating a mood with color
• Working with timelines, layers, and keyframes in modern editing software
• Export settings: resolutions, formats, and codecs for different platforms

Practical, real-world exercises:
• Edit a simple talking-head video: remove mistakes, tighten pacing, add titles
• Create a short montage from raw travel or event footage with music
• Add B-roll to a main narrative to make any video more dynamic and engaging
• Sync clips to a music track and use cuts, fades, and transitions on the beat
• Clean up audio: remove background noise, balance levels, and add subtle effects
• Apply color correction and grading to make flat footage look cinematic
• Design a complete social media video (YouTube / TikTok / Instagram) from brief to final export

By the end of this course, students will not only understand how video editing works, but will have completed multiple real projects, building a portfolio and a repeatable workflow they can apply to client work, content creation, or personal films.
