|---|---|---|---|---|
| Format | Always one to one | Group of 5 to 20 people | One to one, but it varies | On your own in front of your screen |
| Pace | Your content, your target platform | Fixed dates, fixed topic | Depends on the teacher availability | Whenever you can, with no structure |
| Location | Your home (included in Eaux-Vives) or our Eaux-Vives office | On site (Plainpalais, Eaux-Vives) | Varies with the arrangement | At home |
| Follow-up and adaptation | Homework, WhatsApp, certificate of attendance | Very limited, no individual follow-up | Depends on the teacher, rarely structured | No human contact, you are on your own |

Frequently asked questions
about the online video course
Do I need to install any software to take this online video editing course?
No, there is nothing to install. CapCut Web, Canva Video and Clipchamp all run straight in your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox). All you need is a stable internet connection and a fairly recent computer (Mac or PC, less than 5 years old).
That means you can work on your MacBook at home, then carry on from the office PC without losing your projects: they are saved in the cloud.
Is this course suitable for complete beginners?
Yes, that is exactly what it is built for. We assume you have never opened an editing tool in your life. Your teacher sits next to you and we work on YOUR videos (family memories, business content, Instagram Reels) from the very first lesson.
After 2 to 3 hours, you can put together a short video with transitions, music and subtitles, and export it in the right format for Instagram, TikTok or YouTube.
How many lessons does it take to become independent with online video editing?
It depends on your goals, but on average:
- 1 lesson (1h30 to 2h): get to grips with the tool and put together a first simple edit.
- 3 to 4 lessons: master Reels, automatic subtitles, transitions and music.
- 6 to 8 lessons: create professional videos with branding, custom templates and scheduled publishing.
You decide lesson by lesson, with no commitment. Most students are independent after 3 lessons.
Can I take this course at my home in Geneva, or online?
Both work.
- At your home: your teacher travels to the Eaux-Vives area (travel included) or to the other neighbourhoods and municipalities of the canton (20 to 100 CHF depending on distance). They work with you on your own computer, with your own video files.
- At our offices in Eaux-Vives: 36 rue du 31 décembre, 1207 Geneva.
- By video call (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams): possible if you prefer, though teaching video editing flows less easily that way.
CapCut, Canva Video or Clipchamp: which one should you choose?
Your teacher helps you choose based on your project:
- CapCut Web: ideal for Instagram Reels and TikTok. Viral templates, AI subtitles, trending transitions. Free.
- Canva Video: the natural choice if you already use Canva for your visuals. Works with your Brand Kit, exports in several formats. Freemium.
- Clipchamp: free and built into Windows 11. Simple interface, ideal for PC beginners who want to stay in the Microsoft ecosystem.
During the course we try all 3 tools on your real videos to help you decide.
Is the online video editing course in Geneva certified?
At the end of your online video editing course, we give you a personalised certificate of attendance listing the tools covered (CapCut, Canva Video, Clipchamp), the skills you gained and the number of hours completed. It is worth adding to your CV, your portfolio or your Instagram bio when you approach Geneva brands.
How much does an online video editing lesson or course cost in Geneva?
Our one-to-one lessons and online video editing courses are charged at 140 CHF/h, with no commitment and no subscription. You decide lesson by lesson on the pace that suits you.
- Travel to your home: included in the Eaux-Vives area, 20 to 100 CHF for the other neighbourhoods and municipalities depending on distance.
