7 FREE Ways to Make Your Videos 10X Better | CapCut Editing

So, you all really liked my editing and color  grading in CapCut video and, I mean, I loved it too because the end result looked really cool so,  let's do another one but a little bit different this time. Let me show you some CapCut tips and  tricks some techniques and features that will help you to improve your videos and a few of these tips  and tricks will even take your videos to the next level because you can really get some professional  looking results in CapCut and they also keep adding

new features and AI you know to improve the  editing experience and I also love the fact that there are so many different possibilities and  opportunities for videographers these days so many different editors to choose from depending  on your level I really love that videography and making videos editing videos is getting  more accessible but anyway I'm rambling right um I'll link the other video in the description  so you can check it out after you've watched this video but let's start with th

e first tip  or trick feature whatever you want to call it foreign the first thing I want to show you  is a bit of a hidden feature but I think it could help a lot of you because I know a  lot of you record videos on your smartphone and let's be honest here smartphones have okay  microphones but they're not great right so you might get some noise from wind or traffic  and you want to get rid of it or at least reduce it somehow well you can do that in  CapCut by selecting your clip then go to aud

io here and then just check reduce noise now  it's not perfect because removing noise or even reducing it is difficult but it helps here's  a comparison between two clips looks great the shades of blue are whoa I almost died looks  great the shades of blue are whoa I almost died the next feature is an important one if there's  one thing you should learn from this list it's this one this is the one that makes all the  difference and I bet you're not using it are you let me know in the comments so

it's a super  important video editor's building block and you can use it for so many different things creativity  is key here it's called keyframes or keyframing and it allows you to adjust an effect over time  for example you know this Zoom effect right well you can easily do that with keyframes but you  can use it for so much more again creativity is key here all you need to do is select your clip  and then go up here and then everything that has this little Diamond behind it can be keyframed

  for example that zoom in effect just put the playhead where you want the zoom to start hit  the little Diamond here move the play ahead to where you want the zoom effect to end [Music]  hit the diamond again and increase the scale and that's it now your clip will zoom in over  time and you can do this with audio filters colors but also effects you can make an effect  gradually appear or disappear for example if you want to make it look like the video goes in  and out of focus just add the blur

effect here then put the playhead to where you want  to start the effect and hit this icon here to add a keyframe and then set  the blur effect all the way to zero move the playhead add another keyframe and set the  blur effect to whatever you want and now the video goes gradually out of focus and of course you  can add as many keyframes as you'd like [Music] next is captions it's a thing these days if  you're making shorts or reels tick tocks you need captions now first of all it's super easy

to  add captions just go to text up here and then Auto captions pick a language create done and then  of course you can customize the text appearance and if you want Dynamic captions you know  where the words appear one by one you can also do that all you need to do then is  turn on Dynamic captions here before you create them I add captions to all my shorts  and I used to do it manually what a pain in the ass but now we get all these features for  free I love it makes life so much easier and I'

m showing some of these features only on  mobile now but they're also coming to cap cut for desktop don't worry [Music] next is  color grading in my previous capcat video I showed you some tools and built-in filters that  you can use to color grade but I forgot to show you that you can also use Luts even your own  custom Luts or my Luts Link in the description and a lot is basically a filter that you can drop  on your footage to change the colors and the look of your image go here to adjustment

blood and  then import select any Lut you want to import and you can use it in capcat now that's it and  of course you can also adjust the intensity of the Lut right here just remember guys that lud  is not magic usually you still have to tweak the colors after you've applied a lot you know it  depends on what your original image looks like definitely don't be lazy and think that slapping  on a lot will fix all your problems or that it will fix bad looking footage because it doesn't  Luts are a

tool that will help you that's it okay and then next is try tracking now why would  you use tracking well first of all as an attention grabber but also just to impress your friends for  example hey that's a valid reason right you could stick some text to your finger or a new logo on  your hat and the goal here is of course that the text or the logo follows the object whatever  object you want to track let's say I want to stick a logo or sticker on my hat first decide  how long you want the stick

er or text to appear and make cuts in the video there then add the text  or the sticker make it as long as that part of the video that you cut out [Music] select the sticker  or text go to tracking here then motion tracking put this box over the object you want to track  I'm going to put it over the logo on my hat and also put the sticker over it and then I prefer  to disable these two options that gives me the best results but of course you can play around  with it then hit track and now the st

icker follows my hat and it's really a matter of trial and error  because sometimes if an object moves too fast then it might be too difficult for CapCut to track it  so make sure that the object isn't moving too fast this is actually a feature I had never heard of  because I've never needed it but it's pretty cool it's called split scene and what it does is let's  say you have one long video clip but it consists of different scenes and you need those scenes  separately to re-edit the video for

example well you can just select that video clip right  click and hit split scene and now CapCut will automatically split that video clip into different  scenes that could be useful for some of you right and then finally I want to show you  transitions now you should always be careful when using transitions don't use  a transition on every single cut because whoa I mean I'm not gonna stop you  but you know anyway for the intro of one of my previous videos I also use  transitions one of these gli

tchy ones [Music] but I edited that video and  the transitions in DaVinci Resolve so a professional editor but last week  I was checking out the transitions in CapCut and they actually have some really  really good ones built in similar to the ones I used in that video look this one for  example this is the resolve version foreign [Music] and it's also super easy to do  just find the transition you like drop it on a cut and you're basically done I  mean what can I say guys we're so lucky these d

ays that we can get all these features  and editors for free it wasn't like that when I started 10 or 15 years ago Adobe I'm  looking at you and it makes it possible for each and every one of you to become a  videographer or a content creator just don't give up you can do it thank you so much  for watching and see you in the next one
