IDEA #015 1.2 AI Video & Short-Form Editing

Online Course Video Production Service

Startup Cost $100
Difficulty ★★★☆☆
Potential Revenue $5k–18k/mo
Time to First $ 3–6 weeks
Online education is a $200B+ market. Course creators are experts in their field, not video production. They'll pay $2k–10k to have their knowledge professionally packaged into a course. AI handles editing, captions, and even slide generation.
Offer end-to-end course video production. You receive raw recordings (screen share, talking head, or audio), and deliver polished course videos with: intro/outro animations, slide overlays, captions, chapter markers, and downloadable resources integration. Use AI to generate slide decks from scripts, clean audio, and format for platforms like Teachable and Kajabi.
  • Create a 'Course Production Package' with 3 tiers: basic edit, professional, and premium (with animations)
  • Use AI to auto-generate chapter markers and learning objective overlays — saves hours per module
  • Partner with course platform affiliates (Teachable, Kajabi) for referral commissions on both sides
AI Tools to Leverage: Descript, Canva, Beautiful.ai, OBS, ScreenFlow
