If you want to get the most out of this app or tool and achieve results that everyone will envy, then take a look at these tricks we have compiled. Shall we begin?
Merge Clips
Let's start with a trick that can save you a lot of time and also give you a pretty striking result. To do this, keep in mind that you must have CapCut open on your computer.
Next, upload the video or photos you want to include in that video you are creating with CapCut. Point to everything you want and right-click. That will make it appear. a small menu will appear and one of the options it gives you is to Create a combined clip.
This will group together all the items you previously selected.
Change the background of a video
Imagine you have a video with a background that you don't like. It used to be very difficult to remove it, but not so much now. In fact, the steps you need to take in CapCut are easy. Open the tool on your computer and put the video in to work with it. Now, click on the video in the timeline. This will bring up some options at the top, on the right, next to the video.
By default you will see the Basic tab, but what you need is to remove the background, so go to the Remove tab. Now, select Chroma Key. That will enable other options that you will have to touch. Specifically, in the color picker, click on it and it will allow you to bring a tool to the background of the video that will capture the color and then, with the intensity and the shadow, you can change it (it will remain black).
Now, you'll need to add a background video. This should be placed on a timeline below the trimmed video. This will make the new background replace the old one.
Export a frame
Another of the best tricks for editing your CapCut videos from your PC is this one. It consists of opening the program and putting a video to edit. Then, at the top, locate the three horizontal lines that appear. Click on them and choose “export still frame”.
This will bring up another window with a thumbnail of the video and some options such as the name, where to export it, format… This way you can export it as an image and use it to publish.
Remove sound from a video
If you often play with CapCut to combine several videos, you will know that the sound of these can be annoying. And although at first you think that nothing happens because later when you upload it to the networks you will add another sound, you never know what you will need it for.
So, in order for you to be able to mute it, just select the video on the timeline.
Once there, you will see a line at the bottom that belongs to the video's sound. If you raise it, the sound will be heard much louder, and if you lower it to zero, it will be muted.
Smoothed speed
In order to use this trick, the first thing you need is to have a video and apply slow motion to it. However, when you do that, you will see that in the speed section you will see Smooth Slow Motion. Make that box checked and just below it choose “optical flow” instead of “frame blending”.
The result you will get will be far superior to other videos with slow motion or even with fusion instead of flow.
Place text in the background of the video
Another of the best tricks for editing your CapCut videos from your PC is the following. To do this, you have to place a video and a text. However, if you look closely, this text will always be placed in front of the image.
Actually there is a way to make it stay behind. You'll see:
- Open the video in CapCut and put it in the text line.
- Next, add the text you want, with its effect. Test that everything is fine.
- Export that video to your computer and don't share it on social media.
- Now, you have to upload (import) that video that you just downloaded to your computer to the CapCut program.
- When you do, move it to a timeline below the video you had before. Also delete the text you wrote because you won't need it anymore.
- The next thing you need to do is to remove the background from the original video. To do this, you need to tap on that video in the timeline.
- Instead of hitting Chroma Key, hit Auto Remove and the program will take care of it.
- In fact, if you watch the video now you will see that the text has been placed behind the background, so that it no longer blocks your view of the video images. However, be careful where you put it so that it can be seen properly.
If the result is correct, you just have to export it and, if you want, upload it to social networks.
Split scenes automatically
If you have a long video where you just want to show some scenes, or people, it's quite a hassle to have to go manually. But what if we tell you that CapCut can do it automatically?
To do this, select the clip in the timeline. Now, right-click on it to bring up the menu. Search for “split scene” and wait for CapCut to split the entire video. In a few seconds or minutes (depending on the size of that video), you already have the scene division.
The last thing you should do is delete any scenes that you don't like or don't want to be part of the final video.
