# Free tutorial and course video templates > Lesson titles, course trailers, curriculum cards, key takeaways and flashcards for teachers, coaches and course creators. - Page: https://cutluma.com/templates/category/tutorials-courses - 34 templates; each opens in the editor with a free account and exports as MP4. Online courses and tutorials need a lot of small graphics: a title at the start of each lesson, a curriculum overview for the sales page, a trailer that sells the course in 30 seconds, a “key takeaways” recap at the end of a module, flashcards and formula cards for revision, a do-versus-don’t comparison and a certificate frame for student wins. This category collects those pieces in 16:9 for lesson videos and 9:16 for promoting the course on Reels, TikTok and Shorts. The templates are deliberately plain so they sit alongside screen recordings and talking-head footage without distracting from them. Set your course colours once, type the lesson number and title, and reuse the project for every lesson so the series feels like one product. For the marketing side, the course trailer and early-bird launch designs take a few lines of copy and a price. AI captions on paid plans help with accessibility and make lessons easier to follow with the sound down. ## Templates - [Code snippet](https://cutluma.com/templates/code-snippet) — 9:16, 10 s, Tutorials & courses: A dark code editor on lime graph paper: syntax-coloured lines type in one by one under a big “useEffect” hook title, then the key line lights up with a pink callout.

Swap the project and the parts. - [Level up](https://cutluma.com/templates/tc-level-up) — 9:16, 9 s, Tutorials & courses: A gamified progress card for finishing a module: “LEVEL UP!” slams in, a trophy spins on a lime burst, the XP bar fills from 880 to 1,000 and flips to level 4, a skill unlocks and the streak counts up. Change the numbers and the skill. ## Tips - **Number every lesson on screen** — The lesson-title template has a module and lesson number field. Fill it in; students scrubbing through a playlist orient themselves by the number more than by the title. - **Recap in the viewer’s words** — In the key-takeaways template, write each point as an action (“Export at 1080p before testing”) rather than a topic (“Export settings”). Recaps that read as instructions are remembered. - **Promote with a single student result** — A short 9:16 “student win” template with one quote and one outcome sells a course better than a feature list. Pair it with the curriculum card as a two-post sequence. ## FAQ **Are the course video templates free?** Yes. Edit any of them with a free account; exports are 1080p with a small watermark, and paid plans export without it. **Can I use these with screen recordings?** Yes. Record your screen into the editor, place the lesson title template at the start and the takeaways card at the end, and export the whole lesson as one MP4. **Which size should lesson videos be?** Lesson videos are usually 16:9 at 1920 × 1080 for YouTube or a course platform. Use the 9:16 versions for promoting the course on social. **Can I add captions to lessons?** Yes. Type captions as text clips for free, or generate AI captions in 17 languages on a paid plan and correct any word in one click.
