To make the most stunning videos, you must know how to edit them in CapCut. That’s why I have explained ‘How to use CapCut?’ in detail for PC and mobile with the help of its extraordinary editing features! Let us dig into the post to learn more in-depth.

Mind-Blowing Features of CapCut That You Must Know:

I am assuming that you have downloaded the CapCut app. Click on the ‘Create project’ button to start editing. Let’s start with a sample video!

You can choose a free stock video from CapCut’s media library or upload a specific video from your PC.

Import Video From Media Library:

To do this, click on the ‘Import tab’, select ‘Media, ‘ and choose the ‘Import button’ option. (as shown below) Choose the video you need to edit and upload it.

Drag the uploaded video onto the editing timeline. It should look like this:

Or Else, Choose A Free Video From CapCut’s Free Media Library:

Look for the ‘Library’ tab and choose the relevant video from the available categories. These categories have free stock videos, including transitions, green-screen, background, etc.

Download the video and drag it to the timeline for editing.

How should one edit these videos? I have explained all the main editing features below so you can use this app efficiently:

1. Audio Templates Library:
A stunning video is incomplete without peppy background audio for reels, ads, or YT videos, RIGHT?

Fortunately, CapCut offers thousands of free audio tracks to use and edit in the videos. Select the ‘Audio’ category from the horizontal tab. Choose the ‘Music’ option from the catalogues and download the relevant audio track.

Keep the main video on the upper track and drag the audio to the timeline.

After selecting the audio track on the timeline, an editing window will pop up at the top-right corner. You can edit your audio using options from tabs- ‘Basic’, ‘Voice Changer, and ‘Speed’.

You can reduce volume, noise, or loudness with the basic feature. In Voice Changer, you can replace the original ‘voice’ of the video with different styles of voice. If you want to make your video more interesting, add royalty-free sound effects from the top-left tab!

2. AI-Powered Text-to-Speech:
Well, the most efficient video editing apps like CapCut offer all Text-inserting features. But, CapCut offers an ‘AI-powered Text-to-Speech option’.

Click on the ‘Text’ option on the top-left menu bar. You can manually add text using the ‘Add Text’ option.

Or else, click on the ‘Text templates’ option in the menu. You’ll get a variety of free, readymade templates to make the video more engaging. Drag the suitable template to the timeline and change the alignment, position, and size as needed.

The ‘Text-to-speech’ option at the top-right editing bar helps to read the text in various tones and convert it into speech audio.

3. Auto-Captions:
To manually add captions in the video, click on the ‘Captions’ feature at the top right and choose ‘Add caption’. This can take time, right?

So, you can use the ‘auto caption’ and press the ‘Generate’ button. CapCut’s AI will read the audio from your video and automatically convert it into captions. You can edit the caption’s font, size, style, etc., at the top-right window.

4. Easy Background Removal:
You can remove video backgrounds easily using the ‘Auto Removal’ or ‘Chroma Key’ options. First, Import the original video (or you can use green screen videos) and drag it to the upper track of the timeline. Choose a free background from CapCut’s Library and upload it to the lower track.

I am using the Auto Removal option to remove the original background. Isn’t it fantastic that the video background is easily removed with this AI feature?

5. Color Correction and Effects:
Your dull-looking videos can get vibrant visuals using these features!

Here, I have uploaded a free video from the Library. I enhanced its color quality using the ‘Adjustment’ feature in the top-right tab.

Plus, I have used the ‘Effects’ feature to add a more natural feel to this video. You can avail of 100s of free effects from this section.

6. Smooth Splitting Scenes:
Sometimes, splitting scenes is needed in the video to insert some other clips. CapCut makes your process easier.

Select the video on the timeline and right-click it using the mouse/ touchpad.

Select the ‘Split Screen’ option to divide the visuals in the video!

Or else, click on the ‘Select or split’ icon as shown below and choose the point of the video where you want to split.

7. Export in Different Formats As Needed:
After completing all editing, click on the ‘Export’ button and download or share this video in selective formats, sizes, and frame rates. CapCut offers the convenience of exporting and sharing on different social media platforms, which any other app may not provide!
