This course is for beginners in video editing and offers a lot of useful information and tips to be able to edit simple videos for Youtube and social media. You can find other courses and information online or published on this subject, but what I offer is sharing my personal experience from the over 10 years since I have been working in the field. I don't use advanced language or complicated terms, so anyone can understand this course, regardless of age, level of knowledge of the subject, or even if English is not your first language.

I will take you step by step into the fascinating world of video editing, helping you understand how it works, what mistakes to avoid, how to move quickly as a beginner.

In all lectures, I give practical examples from simple editing programs but also from professional ones, for advanced levels. This will help you to have a logical and clear overview, and then be able to use any editing program.
