Edit a YouTube-ready video using CapCut, applying essential editing techniques to transform raw footage into a completed final product.

The Project:

Edit and share a short video on a topic of your choice. Feel free to use the sample footage provided below to follow along with the course or if you would prefer to use your own footage and you're new to video editing, focus on a simple subject, such as a personal introduction, YouTube channel trailer or a brief tutorial.

Envato Elements
Envato is one of our top recommendations for awesome royalty-free stock footage. But it’s so much more than that! On the monthly subscription you also get unlimited access to amazing animated titles & graphics, video intros, templates, stock music, photos, sound effects and more. Plus they make all the licensing super easy!

Stock Music Library

Epidemic Sound
Epidemic is a crowd favorite amongst YouTubers because of their awesome track library and 'all-you-can-eat' plans. They make it super simple to find new, fresh music you haven't heard 1000 times, so it's one of our go-to resources for YouTube content. Just be aware that licensing on YouTube plans is restricted to YouTube content only!
Artlist
One of our go-to resources for music tracks for any project! An annual subscription that includes unlimited downloads, and very favorable royalty-free licensing. Great for YouTube, professional production projects, personal videos... you name it!
