I'm using CapCut and every time I drag a template into the timeline is says "clips to be replaced before you can edit." I have used many video editing software but have no idea what this means, does anyone know?

[@croll_uk]

No disrespect but you need to lookup 'free' because my understanding is that it means 'without cost or payment' and I do need to provide you with anything... that includes an email address! I'll give you a 'like' though

[@SwagBloxx]

I have a question. How do you upload it to youtube?

[@feranmijacobs7115]

bro im not gonna lie this is the first time i actually committed to learning how to edit after postponing for a long time and thank God your video popped up when i gave it a try. Your explanations are very clear ( although very fast) and i was able to understand and practicalize about half of this video in a sitting. Hopefully i will come back to it tomorrow for the rest. But for an absolute beginner in the editing space, i recommend using tis video to get started.

[@BenClaremont]

Glad it helped!

[@sidebusinessbloke]

Mate, your previous vid made me give CapCut a go. I’m halfway through an edit and it’s insane! The stuff it does would take forever in premier. Weirdly it also doesn’t heat up my laptop as much as premier even though it’s seemingly doing more advanced stuff. Not even gonna try davinci resolve as CapCut is ridiculous 👏

[@BenClaremont]

Glad you’re liking it 😀

I already know how to use the app on my phone,I just needed the navigation for PC Thanks so much

[@christophmagnussen]

Same here, Ben. Extremely helpful. I'm using CapCut on my phone since I have almost no time editing and three kids at home. But I recently stumbled upon the desktop app and was blown away how good that one became. So, thanks a lot for the insights. I will now start an experiment. DaVinci versus CapCut for a while ✊

[@AntGeezer]

Excellent video tutorial and the timestamps are appreciated too. Thanks. You earned a new subscriber with this 👍

[@oceantransistor]

This is great free editing software. Now I just need a laptop from this decade to work with footage over 4K. 😅

[@blakestewartdrums]

This is the best cap cut tutorial I’ve seen!!

[@BenClaremont]

Happy to hear that!

[@rabiasaff]

Hey Ben, Thank you. You saved me money and time. I am completely new to editing and was using iMovie. I was very limited in editing. Thanks for the tutorial. I am getting my hands on it. Appreciate your tutorial, easy and interesting.

[@iyoreo7062]

I've seen a lot of explainer and tutorial videos and this one thus far is the best one. Great balance of straight to the point while giving brief perspective and suggestions. Thank you!

[@mikedup420]

Looking to add this to my video editing learning journey. Been using Resolve for a while not but this looks to takle the tidious tasks (mostly text) a lot easier. Love learning new stuff, thanks.

[@FirstResponderHope]

wowser, thanks- I just got the free version of Capcut a few days ago & their tutorials were ok, but you just saved me many days worth of time in figuring some stuff out! Thanks.

[@BenClaremont]

Glad to hear it! I also just released a complete 3 hour CapCut masterclass which is linked below 😀

[@NickDrinksWater]

I've been using it on iphone and android for awhile, one of the best video makers ive used, I can't believe its on pc now too

[@youtubedavidprice]

Ben - This video is spot on for what I needed. THANK YOU. Looking forward to more CapCut how-to’s. If you offer an CapCut 101 course I’m signing up!

[@BenClaremont]

Thanks David! I’ll definitely consider making a CapCut 101 course in the near future 😀

[@asinglegerry]

Many thanks for this video. You saved me a lot of money. You have the ability to make tutourials real fun to watch. :-) 👍

I have been editing on phone and recently started using capcut on my Mac and this helped so much!! cause I was honestly so lost at first but the quality on here is way better to!.

Can you do follow up with more in depth showcase or tut of the animated text options?! Eg any Variations on typewriter preset?👍

[@BenClaremont]

Will do!

[@kevinlugon7967]

Thank you Ben for all the beautiful tips. Followed every step and now enjoying capcut and my video edit is great. Well done!

[@TheGadgetGuru]

I would have most likely not considered trying this program. Thanks Ben...I'll be giving it a try.

[@BenClaremont]

Glad to hear it 😀

[@TheGadgetGuru]

Ben, I cannot figure out how to MARK a video clip. In FCPX the command is M and that allows a marker to be placed on an audio or video clip. I use this method to sync multiple clips from different sources. Have you found this feature or a work-around? Thank you. @@BenClaremont

[@grhand82]

@@TheGadgetGuru @BenClaremont did you figure this out? Playing around in CapCut today and literally had the EXACT same question

[@GuerreroFamilyWalks]

Such a good video! Thank you for keeping it basic! Again, thank you sooooo much!

This was SO incredibly helpful! Thank you!

friendship with camtasia ended now capcut is my new best friend

[@ericramosmd]

I can't wait to try it, thx for the tutorial!

[@BenClaremont]

No problem!

[@isabellasmith5236]

Tysm ❤

[@Phrish]

Awesome vid, thanks Ben! I'm so happy for tools like this in the face of Adobe's consumer-unfriendly pricing model. RE Audio... one of my biggest pet peeves is creators in KZbin not understanding how loud music is vs spoken audio. E.g. I listen to the start of the video, then suddenly my eardrums get blown out by their musical channel intro. I fight to my keyboard to turn down the volume, then their intro ends and I can't hear their spoken audio any longer. SMH. Thanks for addressing the levels and auto-normalize function, etc. Another pet peeve is the waaaaaaay OVERused term "without further ado" but I digress... ;-)

[@BenClaremont]

For sure- audio balancing is so important!

[@BenClaremont]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jenssieckmann]

Thanks Ben. I just discovered your channel while searching for free video editors. Immedialtely subbed. I created a KZbin channel to showcase my orchestral music. I want to create more or less videos out of still images with some transitions and only the track title as text.

[@ezrakoper]

Great video editor thanks

[@fescan]

How do I add a fade-in and fade-out at the beginning and end of my video. Thank you, I learned a great deal from your tutorial.

[@BenClaremont]

Add it from the transitions menu 👍🏻

[@milesmustard2]

Nice video! I'm going to go give it a go now.

[@LIVINGINLOSANGELESCA]

Wow so helpful.Thank you....the only thing I missed was when I go back to Capcut and want to see a previous project, where and how do I find it? Thanks

[@BenClaremont]

No worries! All you need to do is hit the red X at the top left to close the project and go back to the project menu 😀

[@itsmdawg]

Great video helped me out alot!

[@Master0fHyrule]

Just curious, what do you think about Corel Video Studios? I find it super easy and fast pace for what I do. Although having text follow object, I have to edit by frames.

[@BenClaremont]

Have not used it- do you think it’s better than CapCut or DaVinci in any way?

[@Master0fHyrule]

@BenClaremont I haven't tried Capcut yet (Desktop version), but when it comes to simple, it's very easy to just throw all your clips on the main time line chop them up and export. (Audio and video is combined unless you split) Second line is for overlays, third is text, 4th is voice and 5th is music. Basically, it's great for people who want to edit fast and very beginner friendly. But, I also know some advance tricks.

[@HairyHands]

capcut's very cool, tho i still keep fcpx around for editing 360 video, ken burns, and dynamic compression on audio

[@lavinchi6709]

[@idatarace]

My 10 year old intel core i3 4th gen processor runs like Windows Movie Maker without a graphics card. Very simple and no hassle editing and exporting in 4k with very low cpu usage. Even though adobe premiere pro handling latest generation core i7 with 16 gb ram and nvidia 4gb graphic card still it takes very long time in exporting

[@suzannerhee5602]

Hello, My name is Suzanne. I am learning a lot from your KZbin, thanks again. I have a question to ask you. If I want to export as it shows from your KZbin, It's telling me to purchase a pro, should be purchasing it or is there another way of doing it for free. Please let me know. All the best, peace

Love the tutorials and I really like the ease of learning CapCut, but was wondering is there any way to do a corner pinning feature on CapCut?

[@germanfokin5047]

Amazing video! Thank you. Is it a pro version of the capcut?

[@lopslopido1935]

Wow nice👍

[@tanjabengaard8788]

Thanx for the video. Do you know what to do when space is missing in the desktop version?

[@blutey]

Capcut also works on Win 7 despite its System Requirements stating Win 10/11 only.

[@Roys_Drones]

liked and subscribed.

[@antonionarvaez7920]

Is there any difference between the app and the desktop version or all of that can be done on an iPad .? Great video

[@BenClaremont]

I haven’t used the mobile versions a lot- but I can say for sure that in general it’s much easier to edit on desktop, and a lot of finer controls like keyframing etc are more suited to desktop.

[@dandelionvideosworldwide6220]

Aloha from Hawaii 😉 🤙

[@m.saeidi]

Thank you for sharing the video, I can't find the features on the desktop (using browser version didn't download the software), do you think it's because of using browser version or do I need to pay to upgrade to pro to see features? I appreciate if you could help.

[@vezlau]

thank you so much helped alot but there is a wierd thing i dont have to kayframe

[@vezlau]

ahah now i do thank you so much this video is the best!

[@ThePancakeChef]

Very helpful video thanks for that. My CapCut on PC is showing very jagged/jarred text font in the user interface. I cannot find a solution anywhere. Is this something you have encountered before and know how to resolve?

[@MichaelAdeFX]

I’’ thinking of leaving premiere pro for CapCut, but i just find it hard to cut and edit on the CapCut timeline as it’s so very small without any possibility to expand the audio waves which i use alot when editing… And finally you don’t hear audio playback when moving forward or backward by one frame to let you hear and get the exact point you want to make your cut which is a useful feature in premiere pro for me😌

[@BenClaremont]

Maybe consider DaVinci? I have a new video coming out today comparing them

[@vichanisch4361]

Just a point what do u think about Powerdirector .Yes it cost with the 365 but what are your thoughts mate.

[@BenClaremont]

Have never used it. Isn’t it PC only?

[@starling1360]

wow! Awesome work!! Is this white frame around you (0:12) also added in CapCut?

[@BenClaremont]

Yes it is 😀

[@DethronerX]

Hello. For desktop, Is there a way to select an area of the video and infinite loop preview just that section? This would really make editing easier if we can ram preview sections for as long as we wanted

[@opzzyyy]

Can we use these royalty free videos in KZbin on free capcut version ?

[@danafabbro7670]

GREAT VIDEO. Working on a Mac… My UGC CapCut videos have those black margins left right top bottom. Everyone says change the format to 9:16 but it doesn't seem to help. And if I simply enlarge the visual it just fills frame until its distorted. Any suggestions/solves would be so appreciated.

[@TheTechPapi]

Great beginner tutorial! Do you have a video on creating subtitles in capcut?

[@BenClaremont]

I’ll be releasing one today 😀

[@carlosread5887]

I recently downloaded Cap Cut on my iMac. Have been learning and practicing. So far, very easy to use, and surprised to see all the features and goodies you get with the free version. I am a Premiere Pro editor, and there is one feature that I haven't found on Cap Cut (if it has it), and that is the ability to import multiple pictures into a project as a sequence to make a timelapse. Is there a way to make every photo just on frame in Cap Cut? I would appreciate your answer, and thanks for your free keyboard shortcuts. I will download it right away!

[@BenClaremont]

I haven’t tried- so not sure unfortunately

[@teddyw.charawa8989]

MY EDITING INTERFACE DOES NOT HAVE MEDIA IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER. How do I go about this?

[@stoldrag85]

@BenClaremont I may have missed it but I’m trying to learn to edit using capcut on my iPad so I can edit while I’m on the road. Have you done a video with iPad editing in mind?

[@BenClaremont]

I haven’t - but the editor is somewhat similar
