CapCut: Tips and tricks

CapCut is best known for its extensive library of customisable templates that help you put together exciting videos. Now, it's even better, with AI features that make it easier to create eye-catching content.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but you'll only need a few phrases to create one using the new AI poster feature. Simply tap the AI poster button on the Edit tab to build a graphic for your next event or announcement. Use Smart Script for simpler designs and type in a prompt, such as 'live show' or 'summer sale'. Tap 'Generate' and CapCut will give you options for ready-made posters.

Advanced Script gives you even more control over your poster. You can add your desired text – such as a date, contact information or other details – and upload the main photo. Then, choose which material you want to generate, such as a promotion or product display. This helps CapCut's design algorithm to deliver an appropriate vibe for your creation.

Want to create a lookbook for your own outfits or even a showcase for your online boutique? You can now use AI models to show how your clothes look when worn. Just tap the AI model button on the Edit tab and choose from a variety of realistic AI-generated avatars with different looks.

Next, upload flat-lay photos of the clothes that you want your avatar to model. Once you've uploaded these, you can choose which pieces to mix and match, and select poses for your model. Once you're happy with your choices, tap 'Generate' in the upper-right corner of your screen and CapCut will render image options based on your selections. Tap each look that you want to keep and then tap 'Export'.

Jazz up your photos using a wide range of AI effects and styles. Simply tap the AI effects button on the Edit tab, upload a photo that you want to transform and choose from a variety of AI effects, such as oil painting, comics and more. If you're looking for specific elements – such as a sunset – you can enter these keywords in the prompt box and get as creative as you like.

Tap 'Generate' and let the AI turn your prompt into customised images. You can choose from the generated options and export your image as is. Alternatively, you can turn your before-and-after images into an exciting video by tapping 'Add a transition'. Simply choose from CapCut's transition template library – complete with music options – to go with your new video.

On the Edit tab, tap 'Auto captions' and select the video that you want to generate subtitles for. Choose the language spoken in the video and eye-catching templates for how your captions will appear. You can even toggle a filter that identifies filler words. Once you're happy with your selections, tap Generate.

On the editing dashboard, you'll see the captions on your video. Tap text boxes to edit text, drag them to better positions or switch up the style for emphasis by tapping 'Caption templates' on the toolbar. Adding captions doesn't just make your content more engaging – it also makes it more accessible and easier to follow for viewers. Once you've finished, tap Export in the upper-right corner.

Let your artistic visions come to life using CapCut's new AI editing features. Whether you're looking to build graphics for your online shop, just having fun with your own photos or creating video content, you're just a few taps away from letting your creativity shine.
