CapCut – AI-Powered Video Editing with Pro Controls on Mobile

What it is

CapCut is an all‑in‑one video editor for creating polished, social‑ready content on mobile. It blends beginner‑friendly tools with pro controls like keyframes, optical‑flow slow motion, chroma key, multi‑track timelines, and stabilization—plus smart features such as auto captions, text‑to‑speech, motion tracking, and background removal to accelerate edits.

Core editing tools

• Basics: Trim, split, merge, freeze frames, and add transitions with on‑clip controls for fast assembly.

• Speed controls: Retime from 0.1× to 100× and use speed curves for natural ramps and time remaps.

• Zoom and framing: Animate zooms and pans to highlight moments or follow action smoothly.

Advanced editor features

• Keyframes everywhere: Animate any parameter (position, scale, rotation, opacity, effects) for precise motion.

• Optical‑flow slow motion: Generate smoother slow‑mo with frame interpolation; refine with speed curves.

• Chroma key: Remove specific colors for green/blue‑screen effects and composite cleanly.

• Multi‑track timeline: Arrange video, audio, and overlay layers; preview adjustments in real time.

• Stabilization: Reduce shake for handheld footage to keep shots steady and watchable.

Intelligent and AI‑assisted

• Auto captions: One‑tap speech recognition adds timed subtitles, editable in the caption panel.

• Text‑to‑speech: Convert scripts into voiceovers in multiple languages and voice styles.

• Background removal: Automatically separate subjects from backgrounds without a green screen.

• Motion tracking: Attach text, stickers, or graphics to moving subjects to maintain alignment.

Text, graphics, and style

• Typography: Add titles/subtitles with varied fonts and templates; import custom fonts for brand consistency.

• Stickers and overlays: Use trending elements and animated graphics to add personality.

• Effects and filters: Hundreds of looks (Glitch, Blur, 3D, cinematic grades); adjust brightness, contrast, and color.

Audio workflow

• Music and SFX: Add tracks from a large in‑app library; sync beats with markers for punchy edits.

• Audio extraction: Pull dialogue or music from clips; record VO and refine with basic cleanup.

Export and sharing

• Flexible outputs: Choose resolution, aspect ratio, and format; export up to 4K at 60 fps with smart HDR where supported.

• Social‑ready: Optimize for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook; share directly after export.

Practical editing tips

• Build the spine: Assemble story beats first, then layer b‑roll, text, and effects.

• Mix speed tools: Combine optical‑flow slow‑mo with speed curves for cinematic motion.

• Keep captions clean: Auto‑generate, then proofread and style with brand fonts for readability.

• Composite smartly: Use chroma key plus light wrap/blur to blend subjects into new backgrounds.

• Track before styling: Run motion tracking, then attach titles or stickers to avoid sliding.

Who it’s for

• Creators needing fast turnarounds and social formats.

• Editors who want keyframes, multi‑track control, and stabilization on mobile.

• Teams seeking consistent captions, styles, and export presets across platforms.

Responsible use notes

• Respect copyright for music, fonts, and media; use licensed or original assets.

• Verify auto‑captions before publishing for accuracy and accessibility.

• Match exports to platform specs (codec, bitrate, aspect) to preserve quality.

CapCut combines pro‑level control with AI‑assisted speed—keyframes, chroma key, stabilization, auto‑captions, TTS, and motion tracking—so edits move from idea to 4K/60 export with minimal friction.
