// WHY_LEARN_THIS?

Because video is the language of the internet age.

The Experiment: I asked ChatGPT to design a strict 24-hour crash course to learn Video Editing Basics. I stripped away the fluff. This is the raw data on how to go from Zero to Glitch in one day.

// THE_FIRST_HOUR

Most people quit in the first 45 minutes. Here is the exact starting instruction to survive:

"Import footage and learn the 'Cut/Split' tool. That's 90% of editing."

// THE_AI_PROMPT

"Act as a world-class expert in Video Editing Basics. Create a strict, hour-by-hour schedule for a complete beginner to learn the basics in exactly 24 hours. Focus on practical application over theory. My constraint is CapCut / Davinci Resolve."

// THE_SCHEDULE

Timeframe Module Objective
Hour 0-2
Setup		 Foundation & Mechanics Import footage and learn the 'Cut/Split' tool. That's 90% of editing.
Hour 2-6
The Grind		 The Grind Drills & Repetition. Build muscle memory.
Hour 6-12
Application		 Application First real attempts using CapCut / Davinci Resolve.
Hour 12-18
Debug		 Troubleshooting Pitfall Avoidance: Over-transitioning. Star wipes are not cool (usually).
Hour 18-24
Mastery		 The Final Project Execute: Edit a video that loops perfectly forever
⚠️ HUMAN WARNING
Over-transitioning. Star wipes are not cool (usually).
💡 PRO TIP
J-Cuts and L-Cuts. Let the audio lead the video or linger after it.

// THE_GLITCH_TASK

To prove completion, I must execute this specific anomaly:

"Edit a video that loops perfectly forever"

// CONCLUSION

Can AI teach Video Editing Basics? It provided the map, but the Over-transitioning. Star wipes are not cool (usually). was a real human struggle. The result? Learned enough to be dangerous.
