Its easy to use, with a number of impressive tools available for free.
Its little surprise its taken the TikTok and short-form video world by storm.
Since its release in 2020, CapCut has taken the short-form video world by storm.
Use some shortcuts to commonly used features, or simply tap on ‘New Project’ to start from scratch
For this review, were looking at where it all began: mobile video editing.
Quite the contrary: CapCut is a very capable and feature-rich editor, as well explore further below.
It lets the software do a lot of the work for you, but there is a puzzling request.
Even on a tablet the interface restricts you to the portrait orientation
All pretty straightforward, and leaves the user in full control of what the software can see.
If you want to use one of these shortcuts, CapCut puzzlingly needs to see your entire library.
Its solely designed for your equipment to be held in portrait orientation.
There’s a wealth of transitions for you to use - some are ‘Pro’ but most are free, and look great
If you turn your phone horizontally, the interface wont budge.
The same happens when working on a tablet.
But frankly, theres little to dislike.
The green screen cut-out tool is very effective and so simple to use
The top third is devoted to a preview of your project.
You dont even have access to any tools, aside from a playback button.
Youll notice a sign, top right, showing you the resolution youre working in.
Don’t have a green screen? CapCut can also remove any background with ease
This is where you’re free to also alter the frame rate from 24fps to 60fps.
When some apps restrict 4K editing behind a paywall, its nice to see its available here for free.
We did find the size is perfect on a tablet though.
The auto-captioning tool is a standout feature
CapCut: Tools
Youll find its incredibly simple to edit, trim, and split footage.
Its just as easy to add clips, and quickly build a project.
Another feature we were most impressed with was the amazing Auto Captions tool.
Altering the speed of a clip leads to complex-looking results yet is remarkably easy to use
When youre done and its time to export your work.
