AI Video Editing
Edit and generate video with AI tools like Runway, Descript, and Sora. 8 hands-on lessons covering editing, generation, and content workflows.
Video editing used to mean hours in a timeline, frame by frame, cut by cut. AI has completely changed the game. Descript lets you edit video by editing a text transcript — delete a sentence, and the video cut happens automatically. CapCut auto-generates captions. Runway creates footage from a text prompt.
The tools are here. The question is which ones are worth your time and how to actually use them well. That’s what this course is about.
You’ll work through every stage of AI-powered video editing. Start with transcript-based editing in Descript — the fastest way to cut video if you’ve never touched a timeline. Then learn what AI features Premiere Pro, CapCut, and DaVinci Resolve offer (spoiler: more than you think, and some of them are free).
Lesson 4 covers generating original video from text. Lesson 5 shows you how to repurpose one long video into 10+ short-form pieces for different platforms. The final lessons cover the business and ethical side — including when you need to disclose that AI was involved.
