Four exercises on a short workplace update: build a transcript-led rough cut, structure and caption it, then trim and repair on-screen text in CapCut.
Cutting them out in a timeline editor means scrubbing, zooming, guessing where the waveform dips, and losing twenty minutes to a task that should take two.
Transcript-based editing inverts that: delete the sentence and the footage goes with it. Once you have worked that way, going back feels absurd.
The other half is what viewers actually see — captions that keep up, and on-screen text that is legible on a phone.
Descript
Turn a short spoken update into a structured, captioned video draft. Two exercises: create a transcript-led rough cut, then structure and caption the update.
CapCut
Refine a short video and check that its on-screen text is visible and legible. Two exercises: trim and caption a short workplace update, then review and repair on-screen text.
You record it, you cut it
The track supplies a short narration script so you have something privacy-safe to record in two minutes. Everything after that is you editing your own footage — which is the only way the workflow sticks.
Bring your own work
Every exercise supplies a fictional, privacy-safe scenario so you can start immediately — but the workflow is the point, and it transfers to the real thing on your desk the same afternoon.
Grounded in the tool's own docs
Each lesson ends with the vendor's own documentation pages that the exercise relies on. Nothing here is invented, and when a tool changes you can see exactly what to re-check.
Yes, completely. Create an account, start the track and work through it. There is no card, no trial and no upsell at the end.
You need an account with each of the two tools. Every exercise is written against the tool's own published documentation, and each lesson links the exact pages it relies on — check there for what your plan includes, since the vendors change their tiers regularly.
No. The supplied script is narration — a screen recording or a static frame with your voice over it is enough for every exercise.
About 75 minutes across four exercises — roughly 20, 20, 20 and 15 minutes, plus a couple of minutes to record.
Yes. Complete all four exercises and your certificate of completion is issued automatically, with your name and the track title, and appears under My certificates on your account. It is also emailed to you.
