CapCut Crash Course: A Beginner's Guide to Mastering the Free Desktop Video Editor

[@Nichols-oy1od]

I am a 85 year old doing my first video editing. Your instructional video was very clear, very concise and such a BIG help. Thank you

[@ActualHonestReporting]

This comment made my day. I hope I’m still challenging myself and trying new things when I’m 85!

[@EjBazuaye]

wow, am 62 trying to create tiktok videos

[@dugeish]

Jamie, thank you so much for this wonderful instructional video. I am ABSOLUTELY new at this and after less than an hour I have created videos from my GoPro clips. I just happened upon CapCut and already feel "comfortable" with it ... well, at least not terrified. This, of course, is due to your marvelous method. You are a great teacher. Thanks

[@neilhammond]

Thank you for this helpful video, Jamie. It is amazing how features of CapCut rival those of paid software. Look forward to seeing more videos on advanced features. We appreciate all you do for educators.

[@TeachersTech]

You are very welcome!

[@AnalysisMedia]

@@TeachersTech Do you offer ZOOM meeting one-on-one training? I'm in the U.S.

[@tinker3012]

Many thanks for this easy to follow tutorial for a Capcut beginner. The cursor design with the green circle was a great help in following what was going on.

[@Flysonfame]

God, I keep watching all these Tuts on Yourtube and you can't find anyone who explains how to move layers up or down, add new black layer etc.

[@dogsareawomansbestfriend]

It's hard to understand the tech/ ways of making videos in all the explanations. Movie Maker was my way, until it got cut off!

[@djl8085]

Does this put a watermark on your videos so that you have to purchase the upgrade?

[@allthecommonsense]

Great tutorial for how to make previously good looking video clips UGLY, lol.

[@Roys_Drones]

Are you being paid by the CCP to make these videos? Just asking...

[@theworldaccordingtorockett]

Dude...your fine work has earned you another sub. Can't wait to dive into the channel. This particular CapCut tute was egggZactly what I was looking for. Kudos, well-done, & rock on! Much respect! You mentioned a seperate CapCut 'green screen' vid. Is that available?

[@TeachersTech]

Thank you! I have a Capcut tips video coming out next week. One of the tips will be green scree.

[@stevescostaricarealestate]

Best beginner video EVER and EXACTLY what I needed. THANK YOU!

[@TeachersTech]

You're welcome!

[@jeniraeroper]

Love this, THANK YOU! But it says I have to upgrade to export/save? I thought this was free.

[@adetunjiolumuyiwa8538]

same thing here, and i still dont understand.

[@jeniraeroper]

@@adetunjiolumuyiwa8538 I figured it out! If you use any of the "Premium" (that you gotta upgrade to use) features on your video creation, it won't export. Like if you use a premium font or connector thingy, it won't export. Go back and make sure that everything you used is free (doesn't say "premium," or whatever word you used) and THEN it'll export. I hope this helps!

[@googlefriend7685]

Thank you for not blocking the screen with facecam some people just love being on camera great video

[@change_pilot]

I watched the video to the end . Simplicity , clarity and informative . new subscriber gained

[@ASpaceToad]

Tthank you so much for this! Incredibly helpful and understandable instructions. Really appreciate you for this.

[@dedpope76]

you can not export without going to pro and that is $8 a month so it is not free , but please correct me if i'm wrong

[@TeachersTech]

In the example I was showing, I was using the free version.

[@TeachersTech]

It works to export for the projects I have done.

[@dedpope76]

@@TeachersTech thank you for showing it I may need to rewatch

[@rowanmulvey8632]

I think there is a certain limit to how many exports you can do each month with the free version.

[@trishocean7528]

You are one of the best virtual teacher on KZbin here🌹

[@rolfbackstrom6029]

Jamie! Thank you very much for making this informative presentation! CapCut looks very easy to use and I will definitely try it out. I look forwardto upcoming videos and I would particularly intersted in creating captions in several languages. Best regards Rolf

[@TeachersTech]

Glad it was helpful! It is very easy to use.

[@janetownley]

You won't believe how easy it is to do that! :-)

[@rolfbackstrom6029]

Thanks for your reply! Could you please give me a hint on how to do this in several languages?

[@almcm8120]

Awesome! Vid friend & Thank you!!! subscribed and liked!!!!!!! L@@king Forward to applying what you have shown me! Gratitude!!!!!!!

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

Thankyou. I’ve used mobile CapCut for TikTok for awhile now but have just started using it on laptop to edit my KZbin videos. Question: Even if the CapCut audio passes the copyright precheck, is the CapCut audio still safe to use on KZbin please?

[@yemarican]

This is top notch tutorial. Thank you very much.

[@ScribblyPoppo]

Very useful and carefully explained. Thank you for putting in the time to create a useful CapCut tutorial for us beginners.

[@Erenplayz-ML]

Thank you very much. this is by far the most illustrative and in-depth video for me. i can start editing my videos now. thank you 👍👍

[@catherinebellaire7298]

These videos using CapCut, can we upload them on KZbin, Facebook and any other platforms?

[@ilovehanoivietnam2521]

Thnaks I have beenn using video studio for years but i cant get it to render in the tik tok vertical fformat and so now will try cc

[@steph5660]

This is VERY helpful. I am almost ready to launch my new KZbin channel and this video is a great help! Thank you!

[@NWAdventureGal09]

​@TeachersTech can you do the editing and join one clip to another etc right on your mobile phone? As a REALTOR®, I'm often out in the field taking photos and videos on my phone and just want to quick do the editing at a coffeeshop immediately following touring a listing and taking photos/videos I want to put together for a social media post. Also, I have an Android. Does it make a difference whether Android or iPhone? I have a friend using CapCut successfully with her iPhone for what I've described here, but I don’t know if she's editing on her mobile phone or her laptop. Thanks for this video and any advice you can give related to my question here.🙏🏻🙇🏼‍♀️👏🏻🙌

[@RobSandstromDesigns]

Well done. Very helpful. This is my first exposure to Capcut. I normally use Camtasia because I do lots of screen capture. Will this do screen capture?

[@popcornshiner3937]

Nice tutorial man, I am just learning and you have showed me some good tips. Cheers

[@SwordsandBrushes]

Thank you very much for this video! I have been using Premiere Pro for about 3 years now and i only heard of Capcut yesterday, i think i'll be making the switch!

[@amandapaniagua5705]

I have multiple rows/timelines, in layers with stickers and sound effects that are placed at specific moments on the timeline. How can I insert a NEW file into the main timeline and LOCK the rest of the rows so that they all move down and the timing of everything isn't thrown off down the line?

[@richardoak1]

Hi, Great videos. I'm just starting to use CapCut. How do I get the audio track to appear below the video? When I drag it down it snaps above not below the video as in your video.

[@Photogal]

I’m kinda stumped on lack of music choices. I don’t wanna mess with copywriting but I have no saved music on my iPad. Where can we find music?

[@tahnihandal9328]

The commands do not correlate to the function it says? In my desktop. For example snapping - it says capital N but that does nothing. But very useful video. Thank You

[@leolashrange]

Please help meeeeee I have recorded a video podcast on riverside I used 2 IPhone and the laptop camera Capcut (desktop) Will allow me to upload the full 60 laptop recording but only a 8 minute iPhone recording when all 3 videos are 60 mins long Please tell me why it is doing this as I need to iphone version as its better quality 😔

[@antoniamohammed8301]

Hi Jamie, I would really like to get a video specifically for reading. That is, words highlighted as I read the notes for my students.

[@Nelhidal]

Great video, really good step-by-step. At this time it doesn’t let me save, or export or share the video, the version you are working on it does, pushing the pro version, of course, also how do I loop the track, I copied and pasted ahead of the end . Thank you very much

[@BevSantini]

Terrific, simple step-by-step tutorial. Thank you. I’ve had mobile version for awhile but haven’t really used it. I think I’ll give the laptop a go first & then tackle phone app!

[@AboveAverageAngler]

Really good tutorial... I have problem with go pro files dropping out, happens if I'm going over about 15 mins of editing. Any ideas?

[@izakniemann5734]

Thanks. Can I buy CapCut PRO for my Macbook PRO? Or is PRO only available as an app for phones?

[@thomas71890]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but most of these features (transitions and other things) are not all available with the free version. You have to purchase the pro version.

[@tarekhamam]

thanks for the video, i try to challenge myself to learn something new

[@simply.healthy]

Hi Jamie, My eyesight is poor, can you change the interface to a light theme? I can't read the writing with the dark background.

[@mikemurphy2326]

Tmi moving mouse. To many functions why do this bs video titled beginner you talked bout too much showed off your skins totally to much call this a full advanced lesson omg

[@kimk0409]

Thank you for this video. How do you just use the audio that's from the video you import rather than use a separate track for audio? When I bring in a video there is no sound, though there is on the original video.

[@banneman4376]

Nice tutorial Jamie! Thank you. I have a question for you. I want to make a timeline of every day and then merge each timeline into a movie on a new timeline. Is that also possible in capcut and can you show me how to do that?

[@lifeisforbreakthroughs6289]

I heard the phrase "I just wanna point out" so many times. It was so annoying that I just quit watching the video altogether.

[@christinas.2393]

great video! really helpful! thank you :)

[@infographie]

Excellent video.

[@kolaco1]

THANKS, I don't understand how to take out a chunk of the video after the SPLIT!

[@gerard1330]

hi, good vid - see no one talking about photo editing features. i want to know if one can change the colours of an object/item in the photo example instead of red apple change to green apple -and how to do this or if anyone know of alternative tool will appreciate it

[@MohamedAbirahmanAli]

thanks for this amazing course, but how could i get the folder to practice my editing?

[@DawahLand]

This has to be one of the best tutorials for capcut. Upload more :)

[@TeachersTech]

Thanks, will do!

[@ligeond]

Can it handle BPM to create music video? If so, how to do it. Thanks in advance

[@catherinebellaire7298]

Thank you so much for creating this great video.

[@Bossmanjr7]

Capcut sucks it will not let me export my video. It wants me to upgrade

[@teddyw.charawa8989]

Sir,I cannot see the Media menu in the left corner of my dashboard.

[@SparklesMcFartyPants]

Thank you Jamie, I use CapCut for my own videos and still learned a thing or two! I do have a question about the audio however - is it royalty-free? Can I incorporate it into the intro portion of my KZbin videos?

[@TeachersTech]

You’re welcome! I assumed yes, but I’m going to need to double check on this.

[@leelemon007]

Hi can you tell me why all my projects in capcut pc have just disappeared?

[@ElBeeGaming]

Is there any way to hear the audio while scrubbing through on the timeline?

[@linda.s.greene]

I don't often comment, but this was an excellent tutorial and worth me saying something. You did a fantastic job explain and walking through the various options we have. I can't wait to create my lyric video! Thank you!

[@yahayamustapha3473]

I want to use it to edit my TikTok videos. any more assistance?

[@Downs4]

My trimming line only allows 1 seconds intervals and is not smooth

[@yakzivz1104]

the free one does not have all of the bells and whistles like the pro version

[@OuterSpacesWales]

This is awesome. Thank you!

[@TeachersTech]

Glad you liked it!

I can’t get my web capcut to look like yours. Mine is white and doesn’t have all the features as the mobile app. I am using it on a Chromebook but that shouldn’t matter right?

[@Gilbertineable]

I have the same problem and it's really awful to use.

[@johnroberts1040]

Very simply explained perfectly tailored for a novice such as I. Will subscribe and view subsequent lessons as my learning progresses. Thank very much for providing an excellent video.

[@SouthCarolinaTransPlant]

Hi... New sub here! Can you tell us how to "ripple edit/delete?" I think that's an Adobe Premier term, but basically removing a section and having everything behind it (overlays, text, images, music etc) shift (w/o having to manually move all of the content, ir lining them, rearranging them piece by piece? It's okay on small projects but on larger projects with a lot of content It's a bug hassle!

[@COOIE74]

Excellent & helpful Video Is there a Video limit size to this free editing software.? Also, are there any things you shouldn't use on CapCut for it to remain free..?? What about the Watermark, do I need to upgrade to the paid version to remove this.? Thanks

[@CamelEyeProductionsA]

Great tutorial thank you!!! What app/software did you use to compress the video for YooTube?

[@TeachersTech]

I use Camtasia

[@lagraceperry6434]

This was great. I can't wait to try it!!

[@sugerless20]

This tutorial was excellent. This looks easier & less frustrating than shotcut which I have been using. Do you have a video on using keyframes with capcut? Can you label each timeline like you can in shotcut? That helps me keep things organized.

[@TheReal-Joe_L]

My web capcut doesn’t look like his. Mine is white and doesn’t have all the features mobile. Is yours like that?

[@sugerless20]

@@TheReal-Joe_LNo its not. I just watched another video & it shows the layout of the PC app & mobile app. Mine looks like what they show with all the features & black background. Another video mentioned the app features in order of most features to least: mobile, desktop, web. Mobile & desktop are very close.
