In this video, I walk you through the absolute best video editing workflow for beginners using the free desktop version of CapCut. You will learn the exact 10 steps that the Think Media team uses to edit every single video, including how to organize your files, edit your A-Roll like a Word document, seamlessly layer your B-Roll (and slow it down!), mix your music and audio levels, and exactly what settings you need to use when exporting your final video for YouTube.
