Step-by-Step Guide To Video Editing Using Canva

Video editing software is widely available thanks to the plethora of (mostly) free apps. The good news - creating videos has never been easier. On the flip side, it is also easier for your competition to create videos.

While everyone has a camera in their pockets (our handphones), not everyone is able to effectively edit and produce a video. Sure, it is highly possible to learn it on your own, but it's just like teaching yourself how to play tennis. It looks easy but having an experienced instructor certainly helps you understand the basics faster.

Besides, learning on your own can also be overwhelming with ever more features and options to choose from. For those just starting out, it’s crucial to have a guide or an instructor.

In this two-day video editing course, you will learn the essentials of video editing. This is accomplished through hands-on experience in navigating video editing software and also assignments to create videos for your organisation. By the end of this course, you will be able to turn any footage into a video you’ll be proud of.

*Learners should have an internet-enabled laptop for this course. Please ensure that your laptop isn't restricted to accessing Canva.
