Talk to an AdvisorVideo Editing.
Six weeks to edit videos that don't look homemade. CapCut for the fast mobile stuff, Filmora for the in-between, Premiere Pro for the serious work. We teach all three because the Nepali video market needs all three — and you should choose based on the job, not your comfort zone.
What this course actually teaches you.
The Video Editing course at Digital School Nepal is built around the reality of the Nepali video market in 2026. You might edit a friend's wedding film one week, a Reel for a clothing brand the next, and a YouTube long-form video the week after. Each needs different software, different pacing, different export settings — and the working editors who succeed in Nepal know how to switch between them.
So we teach three programs across six weeks: CapCut (mobile-first, fast turnaround, social media), Filmora (in-between, friendly interface, good for events), and Adobe Premiere Pro (the industry standard for everything serious). You learn when to use each, the editing principles that apply across all of them, and how to deliver work that looks professional regardless of which tool you used.
You will leave this course able to: cut footage cleanly to a story or beat, apply colour grading that makes everything look more cinematic, sync music, voice-overs, and sound effects properly, add titles and motion graphics, edit fast on mobile with CapCut, edit professionally on desktop with Premiere Pro, export correctly for Instagram, YouTube, weddings, and TV, and have a showreel of three completed projects you can show to clients.
Week by week.
How video editing actually works.
- The editor's mindset — story before software
- Footage handling — folder structure, naming, backups (don't skip this)
- The grammar of editing — cuts, jumps, J-cuts, L-cuts, B-roll
- CapCut on your phone — the interface, basic cuts, text, effects
- Music and sync — finding free tracks, copyright safety
- First project: edit a 60-second Reel from provided footage
CapCut for serious work.
- Advanced CapCut — keyframes, masks, chroma key
- Trending styles — what's actually working on Instagram and TikTok right now
- Sound design — voiceovers, SFX, ducking music under speech
- Captions and subtitles — auto-caption then fix
- Exporting for social — resolution, frame rate, aspect ratios
- Project: a 90-second product promo for a fictional brand
Filmora — the comfortable middle ground.
- Filmora interface — timeline, library, effects panel
- Wedding and event editing — the typical Nepali wedding workflow
- Transitions — when they help, when they ruin a cut
- Title cards, lower thirds, and basic motion graphics
- Speed ramps, slow motion, time remapping
- Project: a 3-minute event highlight reel
Adobe Premiere Pro — the industry standard.
- Premiere Pro interface and workflow
- Sequences, bins, multiple timelines
- Audio mixing — levels, EQ, removing background noise
- Keyframes and motion — moving and scaling clips
- Working with multi-camera footage
- Project work begins on a 5-minute final piece
Colour, sound, & graphics.
- Colour correction vs colour grading — the difference matters
- LUTs — using and creating them
- The cinematic look — what it actually means, how to get it
- Essential Graphics in Premiere — animated titles
- Working with After Effects (basic motion graphics intro)
- Continued work on final project
Delivery & the freelance market.
- Export settings — Instagram, YouTube, TV, archival
- File compression vs quality — getting both right
- Working with clients — briefs, revisions, deadlines, payment
- Pricing your work — Reel rates, wedding rates, ad rates in Nepal
- Finding your first clients in Kathmandu
- Final showreel screening — present your work to the class

Taught by a working professional, not a hobbyist.
Bibek has been editing video professionally for ten years. He started with wedding films in Lalitpur, moved into corporate work for a Kathmandu media production house, and now freelances for a mix of clients — agencies, YouTubers, NGOs, and what he calls "the occasional vanity project for a politician." He has a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communication.
His teaching philosophy is short: "the cut is more important than the effect. Every student starts wanting to learn the fancy stuff. Every good editor finishes realising the fancy stuff is 10% of what matters."
