I can make text float over my hand. You can make some stunning visual effects using
something called masks. And check out this one. You could even have your video sing to you. These are just a few of my
favorite CapCut video editing tips and tricks that we're going to
look at today, so let's check these out. Tip #1 and this is a quick one. On
mobile, when you create a new project, CapCut by default includes an
ending showing the CapCut logo.
Now of course, you can click on this and then
you can delete it, but if you'd rather not have to do that every single time you start a
project, you can go back to the home screen, then click on these settings gear and then
uncheck this toggle to add the default ending. Now when you start a new project, you'll
no longer have the CapCut logo included. Tip #2. Most people associate CapCut with
a mobile video editing experience, but you can also edit videos directly on the web or
via a desktop app.
To get the web experience, head to the website capcut.com and then
you can click on this button that says get started for free, and that opens
up the full-blown editor on the web. The one downside with the web
is you have to upload all of your clips to the cloud first before you
can start pulling together your project. To get the desktop app, also on capcut.com,
you can click on this download button, and you can download the app
for either Windows or Mac. The nice thing about the desktop app is
you don't have to upload any of your clips, you can just work on all of them locally on your
computer. In terms of feature functionality, the mobile app are by far the most feature rich,
but the desktop app is pretty close behind, and the web experience is by far
the most barebones of the three. Tip #3.
You can convert
text-to-speech or even text-to-song. Within CapCut, first insert some
text, then type some text in. Here I'll type in Kevin is the best. Once you type in your text, with the text objects
selected, go up and click on text-to-speech. Here you'll see a number of voices. Many of them are just the standard voices
and we could listen to what that sounds like.
Kevin is the best. Some of my favorites include the
vocalists and they'll sing your text. Let's click on this to preview it. Kevin is the best. That sounds pretty epic. Once you insert
the text-to-speech onto your timeline, it'll insert another audio object
right here on the timeline. Tip #4. CapCut makes it really simple to edit to the beat. This one only works on mobile. Here I am on my
timeline, and I have a few different video clips and I also have a song. Here I can click on the
song and one of the options is titled match cut.
Let's tap on that. Here I can manually add the beat to my song. But I'd rather have CapCut do the heavy
lifting, so here I’ll select auto detect and here it finds the beat in the song,
and it adds these little yellow dots. When I go back to the main timeline view, I
can see those yellow dots on the audio track. Now when I adjust my video clips,
it'll snap to those little yellow dots, making it really easy to edit to the beat. Tip
#5. You can play one video on top of another video using something called overlay or what's
sometimes referred to as picture-in-picture. Here in the desktop app, I'll drag
one clip down onto the timeline and then I'll select another clip and
drag that down onto the timeline, except I'll place it on the
layer above the previous clip.
I'll click on the top most clip and
then go up to the preview area and here I can re-adjust the size and also
adjust the position, and check that out. I now have one video playing
on top of another video. Especially if you want the clips to be in sync,
you'll have to make sure that they're aligned, and you can use the waveforms to
make sure that they're in sync. Here I'll select the top most video, and this is a
really cool feature. In the top right-hand corner, I'll select video, then cutout and then I can
tick this box for auto cutout and look at that. It's just automatically removed
the background behind me. That's pretty cool. On mobile you can do all of this as well. When you click on a clip, you'll
have to select the overlay option and that'll move the clip to another track. To remove the background on a clip,
you'll have to click on the clip, then go to remove background and
then remove background again. Tip #6. CapCut supports green screens or what's
also known as chroma key, and this works on both desktop and mobile, so here once again on my
timeline, I have two clips and the top most layer has a video of me with a green screen behind me,
but I just want to overlay the video underneath.
I’ll select the video clip on top, then once
again, I’ll go up into the top right-hand corner and select video, then cutout. But instead of
choosing auto cutout like we did last time, this time I'll select chroma key
and I need to select the color. I'll click on this and then I'll
go over and select the color green. This will remove the color green. I have a few settings over
here to fine tune how it looks.
Now I think this looks
pretty good and there it is. Look at that. I am now overlaying this other
video clip. For the best result, you'll want to make sure that
your green screen is evenly lit. Now of the two options, I
personally prefer this one. I think it ends up with just a cleaner look,
of course you have to invest in a green screen. Tip #7. You can use keyframes to pull off some
pretty nice effects like zooming in or panning. Here I am in my timeline, and I have
this clip that I want to zoom in on.
I'll go to the very beginning of the clip, then in
the top right-hand corner, I'll click on video and within the basic section under scale I'll click on
this diamond icon. That inserts my first keyframe. For this one, I'll leave the scale at just 100%. Then I'll go all the way to the
end of the clip, and once again, I'll click on this diamond icon.
That inserts another keyframe. On this keyframe, I'll adjust the scale
to let's say about 140, maybe 150%.
