Edit video in Design

Start a film from a template or your own clips, cut it, put it in order, add music on the beat, add words and a voice, then export it and post it.

Start the course

A good short video is mostly good cutting. You choose the best few seconds, put them in order, add a song and some words, and stop. You do not need to film anything fancy, and you do not need another app.

Six lessons. You make one real film along the way, for a made-up coffee shop called Bean There. Use your own business if you like, but a made-up one is easier to learn on. Have two or three short clips from your phone ready, or plan to use the free stock videos in lesson three. Video and Reels covers what to say in the first seconds. This course covers how to make the film.

When you finish: a short film of about 15 seconds, made in Design for a small business, with cut clips, music that changes shots on the beat, captions, and an exported video ready to post.
