Editing is where a video finds its rhythm. You pick the strongest shots, cut them to the right pace, smooth the transitions and lay in music, dialogue and sound, for anything from an advertisement to a YouTube video or a reel.
Compositing makes the impossible look real. It layers footage, graphics and effects into one convincing shot: an actor filmed on a green screen standing in a new city, a sky replaced, a wire painted out.
Cutting an hour of event footage down to a two-minute video, with music and titles.
Placing a person recorded in front of a green screen into a street scene, so it looks like one shot.

Advanced Compositing is different: it is for people who already do visual-effects work. See the question about it below.
Which course should I choose?
Start from the work you want to do.
- Editing videos and sound: Premiere & Audition is the shortest start.
- Editing and much more: PPVP is the longest, and adds DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, social video, podcasts and AI tools.
- Visual effects: Compositing & Editing Plus takes you from the basics to Nuke.
- Moving graphics and titles: Motion Graphics, or the After Effects course (see the next question).
A counsellor can help you choose.
How are Motion Graphics and After Effects different?
Motion Graphics teaches four tools: Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Audition and After Effects. You design, edit and animate.
The After Effects course teaches just After Effects, for animation and visual effects. It is the shorter of the two.
Is Advanced Compositing right for me?
Advanced Compositing is mostly Nuke, with Mocha for tracking and Silhouette for tracing.
It is for people who already do visual-effects work and want to move up to Nuke.
