## Questions

### Do I need design skills to follow this course?

No. The method uses a written shot list, prompt formulas and a standard editor. Any of CapCut, Descript, DaVinci Resolve or Kapwing covers the edit.

### Does passing the exam mean my video is cleared to publish?

No. The certificate of completion records that you passed this site's exam. Rights clearance depends on each vendor's terms, your inputs and the platform's rules.

### How much does a first video cost?

Plan prices fetched on 2026-11-13 run from free tiers to about $10 to $35 a month for entry credit plans. A six-shot ad with retries fits inside one mid-tier monthly plan.
