Final-year students
Placement season is close and your resume still has no project on it.
Finish with three pieces of work you can demo in an interview.
AI Agents
Runway Mastery — Video Generation and AI Post-Production
Produce short video that looks deliberate — a demo reel, a title sequence, a fixed-up clip — and learn to plan in shots rather than in scenes.

Who this course is for
Three people take this course. The work is the same; the reason is different.
Fresh graduates
You have the degree, but the job ads ask for proof of skill.
Build a portfolio before the next hiring round, not after it.
Career switchers
You are experienced elsewhere, new to this field, and starting from zero.
Learn the vocabulary and ship one published project that proves the switch.
Proof, not notes
What you will build
Every module ends in something finished. These are the pieces you leave with.
Build a forty-second open
a project or channel: five shots, one reference still, a cut on movement, and sound underneath it.

The brief
Your final project
A shot list and reference
still set another person could reproduce
- Write down, in one sentence, what the finished thing does and who it is for.
- Build it with the tools this course taught. A borrowed project cannot be explained in an interview.
- Run it from a clean start on another machine, and fix whatever breaks.
- Publish it, and put the link at the top of your resume's project section.
What changes
What you will be able to do
Not definitions to recite — tasks you can open a laptop and complete.
Roles this supports Content and social media roles producing video · Editing and post-production support roles · Any marketing role where you make your own assets
- Write a shot list with one camera description per shot
- Generate a shot from a reference still instead of text alone
- Keep a consistent look across five separate generations
- Fix footage you already shot: remove, extend, reframe
- Cut on movement and add sound so the piece reads as footage
- Deliver a forty-second sequence you would actually show somebody

How the course works
Every lesson follows the same four steps. No passive video playlists.
- 1
Learn the concept
A short explanation in plain English, with the one idea the lesson depends on.
- 2
See a worked example
The same task done end to end, with the reasoning behind each step.
- 3
Complete the practice task
You write it yourself. The task is the lesson; the reading is only the setup.
- 4
Build and publish a project
Each module ends in work you can open, explain and attach to an application.

The work is the proof
A fresher interview cannot assess a certificate. It can assess a project you can open, explain and change on the spot — which is why every course here ends in one.
- A finished project brief with an evaluation checklist
- A shareable repository, dashboard or case study
- A certificate that records the work, once every lesson is done
Frequently asked questions
The answers that decide whether this is the right six weeks.
Do I need to be able to film anything?
No, and that is the point. Where a location or a budget would stop you, a reference still and a described camera move will not.
How long can a generated shot be?
Practically, five to eight seconds. Longer clips drift — the faces change, the light changes, geometry bends — which is exactly why this course teaches planning in shots.
Is the free allowance enough?
For learning every technique here, yes, if you work from a written shot list instead of experimenting blindly. Plan first, generate second.
What will I have at the end of this course?
Three things: a five-shot title sequence for a real project, a saved set of prompts you wrote and tested on your own work, and a Way2Fresher certificate naming the course. Runway also publishes its own learning material for the tools it makes, and the rail on this course page links to it.
Do I need coding experience?
No. This course is written for intermediate learners and every lesson starts from the tool itself. If you can use a browser and a file, you can start lesson one today.
How long will it take?
About 5 weeks. The course holds 15 lessons, each built around one practice task, so the calendar depends on how many sessions you can keep each week.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Finish every lesson while signed in and a certificate with your name, the course, the date and the skills covered unlocks on this site. It is a record of work completed here, not an accredited qualification.
