Description
It’s a fun beginner-friendly CapCut editing course for creators who want to make more creative short-form videos 🙂
Hi, welcome! If you’ve ever seen a video where someone talks to a clone of themselves and thought, “Okay, how do they even do that?” you’re in the right place. You don’t need professional equipment, a background in video editing, or a big production team. You just need an idea, a phone or iPad, and a willingness to try! I’ll show you how to get creative with what you already have: a kitchen chair, a hoodie, and 30 minutes of free time is more than enough.
This course is a gentle, step-by-step introduction to cloning yourself on video using CapCut, a mobile-friendly video editing app that’s surprisingly powerful once you know how to use it. I’ll walk through the entire process, from the first spark of an idea to the final export. Whether you’re filming for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or just making something fun for your friends, this class is for creators who want to get a little more experimental with their content.
What we’ll cover:
How to plan and script a clone video
How to film yourself
How to mask your clips in CapCut so the clone effect looks clean and believable!
How to add sound, dialogue, and details that make your scene feel polished 🙂
And most importantly: how to get started even if your setup is VERY simple

Filmmaking curious folks who want to dip their toes into creative editing, without needing pro gear
Whether you’re posting to thousands or just starting out, this course gives you a fun, approachable way to make something that feels clever, original, and fully your own.
Throughout the course, I’ll also share helpful tips for avoiding common mistakes (like accidentally filming yourself into a lighting nightmare or forgetting which version of you is Clone A). The format is light, informal, and designed for real people with real schedules: no jargon, no pressure, just a little creative push 🙂
By the end, you’ll have made a short clone video: something personal, playful, and entirely yours. Whether it’s a mini skit, a clone debate, or a scene of you quietly judging your other self from across the room, it counts.
