Turn raw talking-head footage into a clean, watchable video using CapCut and AI. You will add auto-captions, cut silences and filler words, and layer in B-roll, using ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to plan cuts and fix caption text. Edit-focused, no filming or AI video generation, and it awards a free certificate.
Most of a video edit is not creative, it is repetitive: typing captions, cutting the long pauses and every "um," and finding footage to cover your cuts. This hands-on micro course shows how AI now does that slow work for you in CapCut, so a raw talking-head recording becomes a clean, captioned, well-paced video in a fraction of the time. It is edit-focused only, you bring footage you already have, and there is no filming or AI video generation to learn.
You will generate auto-captions and fix them, cut silences and filler words, make structural cuts that lift watch time, plan and layer B-roll, and clean up audio, all in CapCut. Alongside it you will use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity with real prompts to tighten your script, write B-roll shot lists, translate captions, and plan the whole edit. Every lesson ends with something you do immediately on your own clip.
The course is built for university students and early-career learners who want a practical, in-demand skill without expensive software or a film background. It is 100% free, and finishing earns a free certificate of completion you can add to LinkedIn and your resume, paired with the video you actually made as proof of the skill.
