CapCut - from basics to professional

About this course

This course takes you step by step through a complete CapCut workflow: editing, motion, subtitles, audio, exports and publishing strategy for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels.

Every lesson includes practical objectives and topic checklists. YouTube recordings are added over time, so each lesson already includes a ready placeholder for video publication.

You will also learn how to use ElevenLabs text-to-speech in both English and Polish, so you can produce bilingual content without recording your own voice when needed.
