You can watch these videos from the comfort of your home at any convenient time.
The lessons are relatively short (about 5 to 15 minutes) and ideal for busy iPhone users.
All videos feature a live recording of my iPhone screen so you can see exactly what I’m doing and which buttons I’m pressing to create specific effects.
And, in case you ever get stuck, you can ask any questions under each video, which will be promptly answered by one of our experienced team members.

This course is available online, and you can take it from anywhere globally.
All the lessons are recorded in advance, and you'll have lifelong access to all the materials. This means you can watch the course whenever it suits you.
The course can be completed at your own pace, and you can revisit the videos in the future if needed.
How much time do I need to take this course?
This course contains 5+ hours of practical in-the-field video lessons.
That said, you can spend as much time on it as you want. You’ll get lifetime access to all course material, so there’s no need to complete the course within a specific time period.
You can complete this course at your own pace and come back to the videos later when you want to revisit the material or work on improving certain aspects of your videography.
What happens after this course ends?
You’ll keep lifetime access to all course material. That way, you’ll always be able to review the lessons in the future. You’ll also have plenty of time to catch up in case you fall behind.
Which iPhone model do I need to take this course?
Anyone with an iPhone 6S or a newer model can participate in the iPhone Video Academy. You don’t need the latest iPhone to capture captivating videos.
Do I need any accessories to complete this course?
The course starts by covering powerful video techniques without any extra gear.
Later, the course introduces accessories like a tripod, gimbal, microphone, and a small LED light.
But don't worry if you don’t have these accessories. Your current iPhone is enough to capture great videos.
What if I don’t have an iPhone?
You can complete this course with any recent smartphone, not just the iPhone.
I will be using my iPhone throughout the course, but the majority of techniques I’ll cover can be achieved using any smartphone, including any recent Android device.
What if I’m not good with technology?
Then you’re in the right place! Most iPhone Video Academy members are not good with technology. Even if you feel like you know nothing about the iPhone, you won’t fall behind.
All technical aspects are explained in simple terms while avoiding unnecessary jargon, allowing people from all age groups to successfully participate in this course.
Where relevant, the videos feature a live recording of my iPhone screen so you can see exactly what I’m doing and which buttons I’m pressing to create specific effects.
And in case you ever get stuck, you can ask any questions under each lesson which will be promptly answered by one of our experienced team members.
How is this course different from iPhone Photo Academy?
iPhone Photo Academy helps you take stunning iPhone photos.
iPhone Video Academy shows you how to capture spectacular iPhone videos. These two courses complement each other perfectly!
