In this step-by-step master guide, you'll learn exactly how to create short-form videos that stop the scroll and go viral on YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.

By the end of this class, you’ll know how to:

Generate short-form content ideas that resonate
Hook your audience from the very first second
Structure your story for maximum impact
Use filming techniques that look pro without being complicated
Record effective voiceovers that enhance your story
Edit faster using simple tools
Add subtitles the right way to boost watch time
Avoid common mistakes that hurt your video’s reach

What do you need:

Any camera (phone camera is more than enough)
Any editing software (free editing software is more than enough)

Remember, it's all about the story.

Most great videos spend 40–60% of their editing time on sound — and yes, it’s absolutely worth it.

In this class, you’ll learn how to use music and sound design to make your videos feel cinematic, emotional, and professional.

Hi, I’m Edi.
I’ve been creating cinematic YouTube videos for years and currently work at a leading YouTube agency in Germany.

Have you ever noticed how in great videos:

Music always ends at the perfect moment
Every sound feels crisp and intentional

That’s not luck.

It’s not just adding a song, lowering the volume, and calling it a day
that’s what makes videos feel amateur.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

Choose the right music for your videos
Control music and understand when it controls you
Edit and manipulate music so it fits your story perfectly
Make your music end clean and satisfying every time
Use sound effects to create impact, realism, and emotion
Build a clean and efficient audio editing workflow

This class focuses on principles, so you can follow along with any editing software.

I used to doubt it for months, here were my 3 doubts:

1. Is the music really that much better? -> YES, seriously

2. Having the songs separated by stems, is it that useful? -> Definitely, removing the voices and having the instrumental is one of many uses I get.

3. What if I want to stop? What happens to the videos that were already posted? -> No worries at all! In case you want to actually stop, any videos that were already posted, still become copyright free.

I have one regret and it was that I didn't start using Epidemic Sound earlier. Not only because I developed later music editing skills, but also that the quality really did improve afterwards.

About me:

I have a masters degree in medical physics and I firmly believe anyone can be creative, regardless of their background. I started making videos since I was a kid, with no camera, drawing pictures in paint for windows movie maker and since then attended courses, read books, analyzed other creators/movies for years to craft my own skills. This course condenses all of these lessons in one class.
