Tell It in Video — A 12-Week Masterclass in Video Editing and Storytelling With an AI Tutor.
A masterclass you actually finish — because there's an AI editor beside you the whole way, not a
video you half-watch and forget. This isn't a button-tutorial for one app: it teaches editing as
storytelling — structure, pace, rhythm, sound, coverage — so you can shape a story that holds
attention in whatever software you already have. You bring the footage (your phone is plenty), the
tutor asks what job each cut should do, and by week 12 you've cut a real short video end to end.
Format: A digital guide with 12 ready-to-run weekly sessions. You lead one focused ~60-minute
session each week — fully scripted, every step timed and every AI prompt written for you. No prior
editing or AI experience needed.
What you get
- A "Never used an AI chat assistant? Start here" onboarding that takes a complete beginner from
zero to ready in about five minutes, using any free AI assistant — no paid plan needed.
- Four rescue prompts in the front matter for when a session goes sideways — unusable footage,
a stuck cut, a confusing note from the AI, or a session that's running long.
- 12 deep weekly sessions, each built the same way: a plain-language concept, a concrete worked
example, a minute-by-minute session plan, copy/paste AI-tutor prompts at every step, a "show me"
checkpoint, common mistakes to watch for, and practice to lock it in.
- A finished short video you plan and edit end to end in the two-part project, plus the worked
examples and session plans you keep reusing on your own footage.

Who it's for
Adults who want to edit compelling video for work, social media, or family — not just trim clips
down to length. Zero experience assumed, and it works with whatever editor you already have on
your phone or laptop. If you can shoot a video, you're ready.
Why this instead of a free chatbot
A raw chatbot will happily list "editing tips" or name buttons in one specific app — which teaches
you nothing once the software updates or you switch apps. This pack ships the mental model it
lacks: editing as storytelling, taught through a real 12-week progression, with a tutor that asks
what job a cut should do before it says a word about how to make it — so the skill travels to any
editor, any footage, for the rest of your life.
FAQ
- Do I need any experience? None. Week 1 starts with footage already on your phone; every skill
builds in small, checked reps from there.
- Which AI does it use? Any modern AI assistant — ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini. Free versions
are enough; no paid plan required. Never used an AI chat assistant before? The guide's first
section walks you through setup in about five minutes, so you're ready before Week 1 starts.
- Does this teach a specific editing app? No — and that's the point. It teaches the storytelling
and craft that sit underneath every editor (CapCut, iMovie, Premiere, DaVinci, whatever you use),
so the skill doesn't expire when the software changes.
- I just want to finish one real video. Will this help fast? Yes. Weeks 10–11 plan and edit one
real short video end to end, so you can lean on those once the earlier weeks give you the craft.
- Refunds? Standard marketplace refund policy applies.
