In applying for this seasons learning challenge, we intend to impact value to steemians because In the society we live in and in this era of social Media, there is a widespread growing need for video editors today as the number of contents out on the social media and the internet space has tripled hence the need to know how to edit your videos.

In this course, we're going to be teaching the video editing using the capcut video editor as it's an app that allows usage in mobile devices as some may not have a laptop to learn with.

By the end of this course, students should be able to create, and comfortably edit their videos (whatever kind it may be) using the capcut application. If they so desire to further, they can also seek a career path in video editing and start generating sources of income from it.

The class work, practical sessions and assignments will be as basic as possible so as to onboard even those who don't know anything about video editing to learn and master the basics of video editing.

Our video editing teaching team is made up of @ngozi996 and @alexanderpeace.

@alexanderpeace

I am @alexanderpeace. I’ve been a part of the steemit ecosystem since May 2021 and I’d always say that steemit has been one of the best things that ever happened to me. Having a passion to write and pour out my heart through letters, steemit was a dream come through as passion met opportunity and I’ve embraced all it had to offer.

I’ve contribute to the ecosystem through my quality content creations, supporting the steemit team projects and also introducing steemit to my colleagues and others. I’ve mentored some steemians and still do. My passion to write led to my weekly book blogging book review tagged “The Green Spotlight “ where I post weekly book reviews in a bid to encourage steemians to be better readers and leaders. I’ve also served as a community curator.

I have a pasion to teach and inculcate knowledge and value and hence taking this step to be a part of the teaching team this season to educate steemians on this video editing course.
Am a video editing enthusiast and over the years I’ve mastered the skills of video editing and engaging in it as a hobby. It doesn’t matter what you think you have to communicate through videos, if it’s not well edited and presented, you won’t be able to communicate your passion and values.

The world is evolving and so is technology and communication. video and it’s editing has come to be an integral part of our existence and a skill to be valued if only we are passionate. Social media strives on videos and those with the right skills, kill their targets and excel. A lot of steemians wants to learn simply skills like this and here’s an opportunity to learn, grow and add value to ourselves. So Let’s get video editing.
