Shadowing Practice: In Depth Capcut Mobile Video Editing Masterclass - Learn English Speaking with Video

CapCut is the best editing app for beginners

and even the pros are switching over to it because it's so great for quick and easy edits.

In this video, you're going to get a step-by-step walk through of how I edit two different videos using the CapCut mobile app, so let's dive in.

Okay, before we start editing, I do want to point out that this is going to be a long video, something that you might want to bookmark and come back to over time as you continue to grow as an editor.

The first video that we edit is going to be a basic Instagram reel.

I'm calling it a level one edit.

If you're brand new to CapCut, brand new to editing in general, this is going to be great for you.

And then after that, we're going to crank up the heat a little bit

and do a more advanced talking head Instagram reel.

Here you'll learn how to recreate a lot of the popular trends that you're seeing online.

The reason this video is a step-by-step tutorial is

because unlike most editing videos on YouTube where they just show you the buttons and tell you what they do, I think that And in order to truly learn,

you need to watch someone do it and see the decision-making process as it plays out throughout the edit.

And throughout this video, if you find the training style valuable, you definitely want to check out our full online course, 14-Day Filmmaker.

It has over 150 videos inside that teach you exactly how to master the process of shooting and editing on a smartphone.

Over 120,000 people have gone through this course.

It only costs $48 and the link to enrolls in the description.

But without any further ado, let's dive into CapCut.

So I'm actually gonna be editing on an iPad today, and the only reason I'm doing that is to make this easier on you.

It's a larger screen, it's gonna make following along with the tutorial much easier.

Outside of one very small thing, which I will touch on in the video when it occurs, there are no differences between iPads,

iPhones, and Androids when it comes to CapCut.

So we are in CapCut here, and I'm just gonna tap on New Project.

The first thing it's gonna ask you to do is select the footage that you actually want to edit.

So I will select our footage by just tapping the little circle in the top right hand corner.

If you wanted to, you could tap on the actual clip itself, at which point it will let you preview that clip, but I'm just gonna continue tapping on them.

Keep in mind that CapCut is gonna import these in the order that you select them here.

So if you're doing an edit where you want to go chronologically, select the clip that you want to be first in your video.

You can always change the sequence later on in the edit, but again, I try to get ahead of things here.

So I'll hit add now that we've got all of our clips selected and it's gonna open up our CapCut interface.

Now really quick, I'm just gonna give you an overview of what everything you're seeing actually is.

In the top left-hand corner, you could exit out of your project.

Moving to the top right, this little dropdown is our project setting.

So we could change our resolution, our frame rate, our code rate, and we could switch in and out of HDR.

For the most part, leave this exactly as it is.

CapCut will auto detect the best settings for your project.

So you can come out of this.

After that, this little button right here is the export video, which we'll do that at the end once we want to save it to our phone.

Moving down here, we have our player window.

This is what's going to play the actual video that you're looking at.

And if you wanted to, because this is a touchscreen device, if you select the clip on the timeline, you're actually able to pinch,

zoom, and move around the clip in the frame with your fingers.

Now I don't want to do that right now

so I'll come down here and hit the undo button just to go back to where we were before.

But moving on we have a button here to view in full screen

if we wanted to see this take up the entire screen.

We have our play button, we have a keyframe icon which is a little bit of an advanced concept, we'll talk about that later, and then we have our undo and redo button.

Moving on from there we have the primary element of your edit which is the video timeline.

These are all of the clips that we imported earlier

and it just plays in a left to right fashion where whatever is underneath this line right here

which is called the playhead is going to show up on the player window.

You can see

if I hit play it's just going to go through these clips one at a time left to right on the timeline.

Also on the timeline we have a button here to mute all of the audio

associated with these clips if you didn't want the audio to play through.

And you also have a button to create a cover frame.

This is basically the first frame of your video which you could use as the cover on Instagram, TikTok, anything like that.

I'm just going to leave this as is for now and hit X.

Now we also have a little icon to add audio like music or sound effects, something like that down here.

And then finally we get to the bottom of our screen here which is our main menu.

Now this main menu has a lot of functionality and it would take forever to walk through each individual button.

It will become relevant as we go throughout this edit

but I want you to know that this menu will change depending on what you have selected.

So if I select this clip right here, notice that the menu changed and now it's gone into the sub menu for when you have a clip selected.

What this means is any of these icons right here, when you click on them, the change is going to be made to the clip that you have selected.

There are going to be other sub menus that come up throughout this video for text, overlays, stickers, all these things.

So keep in mind, this menu will change and if you ever get lost, you just hit this back icon to go to the main menu.

Now, one main menu item that I'll point out right now is this aspect ratio button right here.

If you wanted to edit a horizontal video or a one by one video, you could click on aspect ratio and change from original,

which is our vertical format here.

You could change to one by one, 16 by nine.

You can just see it's making the frame wider, at which point you would have to select your clips and zoom in to kind of fill that frame.

I obviously wanna stay in the vertical format, so I'll just hit undo and go back.

Now with all that out of the way, we've covered the interface.

We can talk about our very basic editing controls.

So on the timeline with our clips, we have them play one after another.

Now if you wanted to rearrange your sequence, you could hold your finger on a clip.

That's going to give you a very easy way to drag it around and move it to wherever you want.

Now let's say your clip is too long and you want to shorten it, you want to cut it and delete a portion of it, very simple.

With a clip selected, let's choose this one, you can grab the handles at the left and the right of the video, at which point you can shorten it,

lengthen it, and you can do the same exact thing from the front as well.

Like for example, say you wanted it to start right here as it's being stuck on the fridge, you could do that.

Now I'll hit undo to go back.

The other thing you can do rather than trim is cut a clip or in CapCuts terms, you can split a clip.

So with this clip selected, we have our sub menu down here and I can hit split, which is gonna just cut that clip in half and if I wanted to,

I could delete one half, only keeping the part that I wanna keep in the edit.

Couple of different ways to basically do the same exact thing.

Now we'll move back with our undo buttons here And for the most part, that is basic editing.

You now know more than most people do when it comes to editing.

So celebrate a little bit.

So our intro stuff is kind of out of the way here and we can actually start editing our video.

Now I know I haven't told it to you, but we're gonna be doing a motivational Instagram reel.

These pop up on my feed all the time where it's

basically just some kind of cool cinematic footage with emotional music in the background and usually a motivational quote as well.

Now I have both of those that we need to import, the audio and the music.

To do that, we're gonna come down to our Add Audio button right here, tap it, and now we have a series of options to choose from.

I'm just gonna click on Sounds, and now I've already downloaded the song that I wanna use.

My favorite site on the internet for licensing songs is epidemicsound.com.

They don't sponsor us, but if you do want a free seven-day trial, we've got a link in the description.

100

I downloaded that song on my computer, I air-dropped it to the iPad, and now, with it on my iPad, I can actually use it in the edit.

101

So rather than select the TikTok icon right here, which has a bunch of free music already in the app, right?

102

You can preview any of these and use them if you want.

103

I'm actually gonna hit the folder icon right here, and then I'm gonna choose from my device.

104

Now I've already imported these two songs, so you see them in my library, but if you hadn't imported them already, you would just hit select from device,

105

it will open up your library of files, and you can choose one.

106

Now I've already done that.

107

So we will first import the motivational music.

108

And now that just added the song right to where our playhead was.

109

I actually want it at the beginning of the clip, so I'll select it and bring it forward.

110

And now we're gonna add the next layer of audio, which is our motivational quote.

111

Now I'll go back to the main menu

112

and you'll notice our add sound button that was down here before is now gone.

113

That's totally fine.

114

You can add a layer by hitting audio on the main menu, then tapping on sounds again and following the same exact process of hitting the folder,

115

device, And now we have our motivational audio, that's our quote, plus, then again, drag that up to the front.

116

Now, just to give you an idea of where we're at, I can hit play and you can watch the video.

117

Success requires sacrifice.

118

Long hours, late nights, saying no to the things most people look forward to.

119

But here's the thing, if you...

120

So not bad so far, but our video clips are all too long.

121

I wanna shorten these, make sure that our video is straight to the point, it follows the flow of the song, giving us a much better edit.

122

Now there are tons of different styles of video edits out there, but for something like this, where the music is kind of the core driver of the edit,

123

you're going to want to cut your videos on the beats of the song.

124

All songs have these rhythmic patterns to them, and when we cut on those beats, our edit flows much better.

125

Now, if you're aware of music and how this works, finding the beat and cutting your clip right there won't be hard, but CapCut also does this automatically for us.

126

So with our music selected, we come down to the sub menu here and click on beats.

127

Now we could add beats manually to the song by hitting this button, but we want CapCut to do the heavy lifting.

128

So I'm gonna hit auto generate here.

129

It's gonna take a minute, analyze the song, and now it's added these little markers on our track for every single beat of the song, which is super helpful.

130

When I click the check mark, you'll now notice back on the timeline, it's small, but those dots are there and it marks all the beats.

131

Now I want each clip of this edit to last two beats.

132

And this is extremely simple to do now.

133

All I need to do is with a clip selected, grab it and trim it down.

134

And you can see right there, it kind of snapped right to that beat marker.

135

CapCut knows it's what I want to do.

136

So what you saw me do right there was trim, but I could also hover over a beat, right?

137

You can see it right there.

138

I can select my clip, hit split, and then delete whatever I don't want, right?

139

I'll just delete the end here and we'll be good to go.

140

You can obviously also trim from the front, get a rough idea of where you want it to be, and then really make sure you've snapped it and it's worth two beats.

141

The key here is to trim the front or the back to keep only the best segment of your video.

142

This is something that all top tier editors do.

143

Now a little pro tip, if you noticed here, we have these two clips

144

and it's kind of a cool sequence where it goes from day to night.

145

Now this is called a match cut, and it's called that because we have two scenes and we're perfectly matching the first clip to the second clip.

146

It was filmed on a tripod.

147

I just let it record in the morning and I kept working

148

and then I recorded a clip at night too to kind of give the idea of time passing.

149

Very simple thing, I do match cuts all the time.

150

You're seeing examples on screen right now

151

but to keep this section from being ultra repetitive I'm just gonna go throughout the entire rest of the video

152

and cut to the beat so we have our final sequence.

153

All right, so we've got our sequence aligned.

154

And just so you know, CapCut always adds its own little marketing plug at the end.

155

You can just select that and delete it.

156

And then also our song goes for a little longer than it needs to.

157

We can edit our music just like we would our clips.

158

With it selected, I can trim it all the way down to the end.

159

And while we're here with the music selected, I do want you to know

160

that there is an entire sub menu for audio as well

161

so if you wanted to adjust the volume you could tap on volume here increase it

162

or decrease it you could also add a fade to the beginning

163

and the end of the audio so it kind of fades in slowly

164

and then fades out there's a lot of menu items

165

that you can really only master by exploring them yourself most

166

of them i will say are pretty self-explanatory though now moving

167

on with our edit we have our sequence all aligned up and i'm not really going to use

168

transitions in this edit because I like a nice clean cut between my my clips

169

but if you wanted to add a transition you'll notice

170

that there are these icons between every single clip

171

if you tap on

172

that it's going to bring up a sub menu with all

173

of these different transitions now yes CapCut has a pro membership

174

that does cost money and you're going to notice

175

that they have all these effects labeled as pro I am only using the free options today

176

and I really don't think anyone needs to get a Pro CapCut subscription.

177

It's definitely worth $10 per month, but you don't need it and very rarely do I actually use the Pro FX.

178

But for example, if you wanted to use a transition, we could choose this free one right here for pull in.

179

And you'll notice right there, it just gave us a preview on our clip.

180

If I scroll back and play through it, it did that little zoom in transition, which I don't think looks bad at all, but I'm gonna remove it for this.

181

So I'll click it and then hit the circle with the cross in it and we're back to where we were.

182

Transitions are cool, you can overdo it, so just be careful.

183

Okay, up next for this video, I wanna add auto captions that align with the audio from the quote.

184

Now adding text, titles, all that stuff in CapCut is super easy.

185

From the main menu, you are gonna come down here and select on text.

186

Now we have a bunch of different ways that we could add text.

187

The simplest way is to just hit the add text icon.

188

That's gonna add a little graphic where you could type out what was being said, You could type out your title, you could type out your name, whatever you want.

189

From there, you can change your style of the text.

190

You could choose one of the preset styles, you could change the color to whatever you want.

191

You could hit on background and add a background like this.

192

I'm sure you've seen this many times on the different social media platforms.

193

Lots of very self-explanatory stuff in here when it comes to editing text.

194

I don't want to manually add the text though.

195

That would take me a while.

196

So I'm just gonna delete that, come back to our main menu here and I'm gonna tap on auto captions.

197

From here, it's gonna ask us to select our caption style.

198

Again, they've got some cool pro ones, but we really just need the free one.

199

So I'm gonna tap this style right here and then hit generate.

200

And voila, we have our auto captions, really cool.

201

They go throughout the entire video, did all this work for us, freaking love that.

202

And just like the text that we were editing before, If I were to select this layer right here, we have a sub menu where we can change things, right?

203

We already picked a style, but if we wanted to change it, we could tap on style and we could choose this one right here, right?

204

And that's gonna change all of our text layers.

205

It didn't just change the one that I selected here.

206

It's gonna change the style of all of them so that they look uniform.

207

Now I'm gonna hit undo because I actually liked the style that we had before.

208

If you wanted to, you could move your text and it will also move all the other ones.

209

Pretty straightforward.

210

You could use your fingers, pinch and resize, do whatever you want with them.

211

Again, I'm gonna go back though.

212

What's key for me here is I want to animate these a little bit more, and for a slow, emotional video like this, there's already one I have in mind.

213

But to get here, we are gonna come to our text layer, come down to animations in the sub menu,

214

and now the one that I really like is this typing animation here.

215

Before I select that though, I do want you to know that there are in animations, which animate how the text comes onto frame.

216

There are out animations, which animate how the text leaves the frame.

217

And then you have a loop, which just continues doing the same thing in a looping fashion to the text.

218

And then you have caption-specific animations, which really are just more animations.

219

I'm gonna go back to our in animation here.

220

And one more thing I need to tell you before I choose this, I want you to see this button right here, apply to auto captions.

221

What that's asking is, do you want to apply this animation to every single caption in the entire video,

222

or do you uncheck this and only apply it to the one text file that you have selected?

223

I actually do want to apply this to everything, so I'm gonna leave it checked, and finally we can select our animations.

224

I'll hit check, and just give you an idea, we'll play through it real quick.

225

Success requires sacrifice.

226

Long hours, late nights, saying no to the things most people look forward to.

227

But here's the thing.

228

If you live like no one is.

229

So that's super cool.

230

Like really, if I wasn't explaining how to do all this stuff, we would have been done in like three minutes.

231

So you can definitely do edits like this very fast in CapCut.

232

And now we're officially ready to export.

233

There are a lot of advanced concepts that we're gonna touch on in the next edit.

234

But from here, we've got something that I'm super proud of.

235

You could double check and make sure, you know, all the spelling is correct.

236

And if something wasn't correct, you could just double tap on the caption.

237

That's gonna bring up the editor where you can actually change that text.

238

Everything for me looks pretty good though.

239

So I'm gonna come up here and hit the export button right here.

240

That is just gonna take a second to process.

241

And then we'll have a screen where we can save this video to our phone, post it to Instagram, TikTok, anything like that.

242

And there you have it.

243

I'll play this video so you can watch it from start to finish.

244

Success requires sacrifice.

245

Long hours, late nights, saying no to the things most people look forward to.

246

But here's the thing.

247

If you live like no one is willing to now, eventually you'll be able to live a life beyond what you ever dreamed possible.

248

Remind yourself of that every time it gets hard.

249

Hard is good, it's a side effect of growth.

250

So embrace it when it hits you and remind yourself of where you're going.

251

Hey, real quick, do you ever suffer from eye strain, computer headaches, or maybe it takes you forever to fall asleep at night?

252

Now I'm not a doctor, but I am a human being with eyeballs

253

that struggled with all of these things until I found the sponsor of today's video, Felix Grey and their incredible blue light blocking glasses.

254

I've worn these glasses from Felix Grey every single day for the past year, and my eyes still feel fresh even after a three hour long edit session.

255

And if you're blind as a bat like I am, that's fine.

256

They have prescription options for affordable prices and in tons of different styles.

257

And to make things even better, use the code CREATOR20 to save an additional 20% at checkout.

258

Your eyes will thank me.

259

All right, basic edit done it is time to move on to the advanced edit.

260

This one is going to be a talking head video, similar to what you see the big influencers post online, like Alex or Mosey and people like that.

261

This specific style of talking head video that I'm gonna do is what I call a frequently asked question video.

262

So in case you didn't know, inside our students community, I host a live weekly Q&A call where all of our students can ask me questions.

263

And something that somebody asked me last week was, which platform should I start posting on first?

264

So I answered that question on the Q&A call, but I also took a screenshot, which is the inspiration for this talking head edit.

265

So just like before, we're gonna start and hit new project.

266

And the clip that we're gonna edit is this one right here.

267

I filmed it on my iPhone and it's just me talking to the camera in my office.

268

So we'll check the box right there and hit add.

269

So just like before, we've got our timeline.

270

This time it's only one clip though, and it's a much longer clip and you can see there's a lot of me just sitting and thinking

271

and then I talk, and then I take a break, and I think about what the next line is, and then I deliver the next line.

272

If you're recording videos like this, do not worry about trying to get it to be a perfect take.

273

All you need to do is pause, restart your line.

274

You can always delete those gaps in the edit, which is what we're gonna do now.

275

Before that though, there are two steps that I do with all talking head videos.

276

The first one is any potential reframing that I might have to do.

277

If you look at this clip, it's definitely not bad, but I think we can zoom in slightly, And also that artwork I have in the back is slightly tilted,

278

which I always try to avoid.

279

With this clip selected, all we need to do is go down to the sub menu and hit on basic right here.

280

This is just a easier option to reframe your clip compared to trying to pinch in with your fingers.

281

So first we have position, scale, and then rotation.

282

I'm gonna start with scale.

283

Just increase the scale a little bit.

284

We'll go to like 107.

285

From there, we will go to position and move over slightly just to get me more center frame.

286

And then we will go to rotation and just increase the rotation to one degree.

287

That flattens things out and it looks so much better.

288

So we reframe.

289

The second step is we color correct or color grade.

290

Now, color correction and color grading is a very advanced process

291

and it would take hours to explain exactly how to do every single step in process.

292

That's something we teach in our full online course.

293

But if you wanna get just a basic intro to color correction, you would come down to the filters tab right here,

294

at which point you could select the pre-made filters that are included in the free option.

295

For example, you could choose black and white.

296

You could choose humble, which is a little bit more of like a moody look.

297

There's a lot in here that you can explore and you can adjust the strength of that filter right here.

298

I typically shy away from these and if anything, I will turn it off and then go to the Adjust tab here.

299

Now, if you've ever edited a photo or video before, you'll likely recognize these.

300

We've got Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Brilliance, Sharpen, HSL for Hue, Saturation, and Luminance, lots of stuff in here.

301

Each one of these has a slider where you can increase or decrease the selected parameter.

302

If you're just getting started, I'd recommend focusing on Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and then your temperature very straightforward tools

303

if you wanted to with a clip like this i think

304

the brightness is fine i might go over to the highlights

305

just decrease the highlights a little bit increase the contrast get

306

it to pop a little bit more sometimes i'll play around

307

with the brilliance i think i'm going to leave it as is though i don't think we need much else

308

but now we are good to go and you'll notice

309

that on the sub menu we originally selected filters but you

310

but you can also hit adjust and it will bring you directly to that menu.

311

And if you had multiple clips, you could apply the color grade that you've done to all of your clips by hitting apply to all right here.

312

Needless to say, we've completed the first two steps.

313

The next step is cutting up our clip, removing all of the mistakes, removing all of the dead space, the pauses, all that stuff.

314

Now, interestingly enough, I always use CapCut on my phone and they have a feature called transcript-based editing,

315

which for some reason, it is the only thing that I don't see on my iPad.

316

In doing some research online, it sounds like this feature is, I don't know, new to the CapCut platform, and it's just, it's glitching out and it's not showing up on everyone's devices.

317

It's not unique to phones or unique to iPads.

318

Just check your CapCut and see if you have this feature.

319

And don't worry if you don't have it because I'll show you a workaround in just a moment.

320

But here we've switched to my phone

321

and I'm just gonna import this clip very quickly and show you exactly how you would do it.

322

With your clip selected, all you need to do is come down to transcript-based editing.

323

Now this is super cool.

324

It's gonna transcribe your entire sequence.

325

It allows you to select different portions of your text and you just delete them.

326

So here you can see I say, Test, test.

327

Test, test, I'm checking the mic, and then I sit down for 25.7 seconds.

328

I can just select all of this,

329

like a text document, and then hit delete and it's literally deleted that portion from my timeline.

330

So then I can keep going through.

331

Did you start posting on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube?

332

I get asked this question all the time.

333

And then here I pause and I actually think about what the next line I'm gonna say is.

334

Again, I can tap on that, delete it, and it's just deleted that pause from the script.

335

So we can keep going.

336

Although my favorite platform is long form content on YouTube, this actually isn't where I think most beginners should start.

337

And you would basically just continue the process of finding areas of pause, deleting them by just tapping, make sure you got the right section selected,

338

you might have to modify it, hit delete.

339

And if you have any lines like I do all the time where I repeat a line

340

because I originally said it wrong, all you'd need to do is basically highlight the text that you'd wanna remove, delete it, and it's gonna delete it from your script.

341

Now what's really cool about that is once you're done, you can zoom out and you'll see that it's literally cut up your timeline for you, which is super helpful does save you a little bit of time.

342

Now if you're experiencing the glitch that my iPad is and you don't see this setting, there is a workaround, just come down to text.

343

We're gonna create our auto captions.

344

I'll just use this style right now.

345

And now with our auto captions generated, it gives us a very easy view of what's actually the video and what's not in the video.

346

So all I would really need to do here is zoom in on the timeline, go to the end of my text, select the clip, create a split point,

347

go to where the text starts again, because we know that's where the actual talking starts, create a split point, and then you could delete what is not usable anymore.

348

You would repeat that process over and over and over again throughout the entire script, and you will likely have to come back and do just a little bit of fine tuning,

349

like this clip or that clip.

350

You could just trim the back half a little bit more and just really tighten up those cuts, removing the breath marks.

351

Overall, it's probably gonna take you 10 to 20% longer.

352

Hopefully you don't even have to deal with this.

353

You can just use that transcript-based editor that I have on my phone.

354

All right, so we've got our timeline cut up here.

355

We've removed all of the mistakes in the dead space.

356

Up next, something I always do, and most people on the internet do with talking head videos,

357

is every other clip, they actually increase the scale on to have this punch in and punch out effect.

358

It just kind of makes it look like you're filming on multiple different cameras.

359

It helps with the pacing and the flow of the video.

360

So in CapCut, super easy to do.

361

You can actually just come in and pinch with your fingers on every other clip.

362

That way you're going in and out.

363

The other option is obviously you could go to that basic tab that we used earlier and increase the scale.

364

But this should do the trick just fine.

365

You can see scrolling through the timeline we've got our punch in and punch out nicely done.

366

Okay, now up next what I like to do is add any B-roll that I know I'm gonna want in my edit.

367

Now we didn't talk about this in the last edit because we had all the clips we needed, we didn't add anything else.

368

But if you ever wanna add clips, there's a couple different ways to do it.

369

If you wanna add it to the main timeline here, you'll notice at the far right, we have this plus icon over here.

370

You can tap on that, it will load up the selector and you can choose anything you want.

371

But I don't wanna add it to the main timeline here, I wanna add it on top of the timeline, or at least in the CapCut interface they show it to you beneath it.

372

This way the video clips will play as B-roll to give

373

more emphasis to whatever I'm talking about in the main A-roll here.

374

So for example, if we play through this part of the video, our Instagram, make videos that are like 10 to 30 seconds long, build up the skill sets, have a ton of fun doing it,

375

and then eventually graduate to YouTube.

376

So when we say you can make videos that are 10 to 20 seconds, build up the skill set, have a ton of fun, I wanna use clips as B-roll showing me actually making those videos.

377

So here is the spot that I've paused it.

378

I know this is where I wanna add our overlay.

379

So I'll go out of this text menu here, which will hide our captions, and if you ever wanna bring those back, you just hit the text layer and they'll come back.

380

But instead here, we wanna add an overlay, which is CapCut's button for adding B-roll.

381

So we will select that and then click Add Overlay.

382

And now I can actually use some of the footage that I used in our previous edit.

383

So I'm gonna select this clip right here.

384

It's actually me getting ready to shoot a video.

385

I'll hit Add.

386

And now we've added this to the timeline, And you can see it doesn't fully take up the correct amount of space, so I'll zoom that in slightly.

387

And now I'll play through this just so you can get an idea of how as soon as this clip comes up, because it is underneath our main timeline,

388

whatever is on the lowest level in CapCut Mobile is what's going to show through on the top figuratively of our edit.

389

That's why this clip is showing, so we can play through it here.

390

Form like Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram.

391

Make videos that are like 10 to 30 seconds long.

392

up the skill sets have a ton of fun pretty cool

393

so we've got our b-roll clip right there now we can

394

add another one i will just come back to overlay on the main menu select

395

that and now we can add this one right here

396

that looks good we can hold our finger on this drag it over

397

and then we can add one more overlay just to round out the section

398

so like this one of me getting the light ready

399

scale that guy up a little bit

400

and then I actually want this one to play first

401

so we'll just rearrange this whole section just holding our finger on these

402

and resequencing and then edit should be last

403

so there we go just trying to get these in a way

404

that makes sense to the viewer watching our Instagram make videos

405

that are like 10 to 30 seconds long we're going to

406

trim this right here move this guy forward zoom in a

407

little bit for you 30 seconds long build up the skill sets have a ton of fun doing it

408

and eventually graduate this guy needs to get scaled up a little bit there you go tube over time now

409

which of the three short cool

410

and then as this clip ends right here I'm just going to trim this one back

411

so it caps off the section now we could add more

412

and more b-roll it would just kind of get repetitive for you to watch

413

that I think covers you know how to add b-roll

414

and align it in your sequence now the next thing I want to do is add photos

415

and stickers to give a a little bit more visual presence to the edit.

416

So we'll go all the way back to the beginning here.

417

And like I said earlier, I actually took a picture of the question that a person asked me, and I wanna add it to the edit.

418

You probably see people on social media doing this all the time.

419

All we need to do from our main menu is tap on overlay.

420

Again, we can hit add overlay.

421

Instead of video, I'm gonna go to photo, and then select this photo right here, check it, and add it in.

422

Now, pretty cool, we'll bring this down just to get it in good framing.

423

And I believe that is already right up at the front, which is good.

424

We'll extend it so it goes the entire first clip.

425

And what we will also do is animate the way that it comes into frame.

426

Rather than just have it exist at the beginning, we want to attract the viewer's eye to it and animate it.

427

So with it selected on the sub menu, we will tap on animations.

428

And now we have a bunch of different options.

429

Some are restricted to pro as always, But a lot of them are free and we will, you know, you could do a basic fade like that one,

430

but we've got some more.

431

That one's kind of cool.

432

Not bad, I'm gonna go with this one swing right.

433

And just so you're aware, anytime you add a transition and animation, you have this slider where you can change the duration.

434

You can make it super fast or super long.

435

Should you start posting on TikTok?

436

I'm going to go right in the middle around 1.5.

437

Should you start posting?

438

Pretty cool.

439

Okay, so I like that.

440

And just so you're aware, this is an in animation.

441

Just like before, I could do an out animation or a combo animation.

442

I just want the in for now, though, so we'll click check, and we're good to go.

443

Should you start posting on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube?

444

I get asked this question all the time.

445

Although my favorite platform is...

446

Pretty cool.

447

Now the next thing that we'll do is add a keyframe scale.

448

Now this is again a slightly more complex thing but so many editors do this and CapCut makes it really easy.

449

So this involves keyframes.

450

Keyframes are a fundamental aspect of editing videos

451

so I would get comfortable with them now because you're definitely going to learn more about them over time.

452

Think of a keyframe like anchoring a setting at a specific point in time.

453

This allows you to change it by anchoring it at a new point in time.

454

With this clip selected, playhead's right here at the beginning, I can come up right here to our add keyframe button.

455

I'm gonna hit that and it added a keyframe.

456

That little diamond is on our clip right now.

457

If I scroll forward, add another keyframe, and then I increase the scale, okay?

458

Now what's happening is when we scroll between those, you can see the scale changing.

459

See how it's zooming in and out right there?

460

That is simply because I added those two keyframes.

461

Now there's actually a little space here at the end, so I'm actually just gonna delete this keyframe by hitting minus.

462

We're gonna scroll to the very end of this clip

463

and just do that process over again by adding a new keyframe and then zooming in on our clip.

464

And now if we play through this, you will see the effect in action.

465

Should you start posting on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube?

466

I get asked this question all the time.

467

Pretty cool, so you can see it just zooms in there.

468

It's kind of like pulling the viewer into the shot.

469

So keyframes, you now know, pretty advanced topics, so that's great.

470

Moving on, we've got our next section here, which is going to be probably the most advanced edit of the entire tutorial,

471

and that is Rotoscope, where we remove the background.

472

Now there are a couple steps involved in the process, and it will all make sense at the end.

473

It'll come full circle, so bear with me here.

474

You can just copy the steps exactly, and you'll be good to go.

475

So this is the clip that we want to remove the background on.

476

I'm just gonna zoom it out a little bit just cause we can use that little extra space.

477

Now, step number one is to duplicate this clip.

478

We're gonna need multiple layers of it, so we're gonna need to duplicate it first.

479

With it selected, we are going to come down to the submenu and hit duplicate.

480

So now, if we zoom out on the timeline, just so you're aware of how all this is working, this clip and this clip are the same exact clip, right?

481

They are one and the same, I just duplicated them.

482

Now, what we need to do is add an overlay here for our background.

483

So we're removing the background of a clip.

484

We need to add a new background in.

485

All we need to do as always is come back to our main menu, hit overlay, add overlay.

486

And now in videos, I have this background right here.

487

I downloaded it from contentcreatortemplates.com which is my favorite place to download pretty much all video editing templates.

488

But of course, if you dig around, you can find stuff like this for free on the internet.

489

But this is the one I'm gonna use.

490

I'll hit add and there we go.

491

It is now on our timeline.

492

I'm going to just use my fingers, crop it up, get it to full frame status,

493

and we'll make sure that it is just trimmed right to the beginning of that clip.

494

Yeah, there we go, that looks good.

495

All right, so here we are.

496

Our background is just covering our clip.

497

It probably doesn't make sense, but it will in just a moment.

498

Now, just to make things simple here, I want to make sure that this kinetic dots background is on the immediate next level.

499

Because we have all this B-roll here, it is just trapped on the third level.

500

So we're gonna trim this guy down, get it to the point where we can basically bring it back up a level.

501

See what I did there?

502

I just trimmed it so we have enough space to fit with these guys.

503

And you know what?

504

We'll just trim it all the way down to the same length as this clip right now.

505

That way it lasts for exactly the right amount of length for this section of the video.

506

Now we've got the kinetic dots where we need it to be.

507

Now we need to take this clip, which again we made a duplicate of, and we need to graduate it to be above the kinetic dots background.

508

So I will come with that clip selected down here to the sub menu and hit overlay.

509

What that did is it just pumped it up and now we have this clip which we're seeing, the kinetic dots is behind it, and then we have another duplicate behind it.

510

That's kind of keeping our placeholder on the main timeline here.

511

If we didn't have that duplicate, the next clip in the video would have smushed over to the left and just kind of combobulated up the entire timeline, which is not what we want.

512

Now with this clip selected, all we need to do is come down to the sub menu and hit remove background.

513

We'll select auto removal and boom, this should all be coming full circle now.

514

We'll hit check and hopefully these layers are making crystal clear sense right now.

515

We have our top clip showing through, we have our kinetic dots, which is now behind that, and then finally we have our third level,

516

which is just keeping the spacing of our main timeline proper.

517

Everything looks super cool.

518

I can take this guy right here, pinch him down with my fingers, and put him in the corner.

519

And now we have all this space up top where we can add graphics

520

and other stuff to keep the viewer engaged and add more detail.

521

The only issue, the last step here, is we technically have two of the same layers with two of the same audio layers as well.

522

Both of these clips have audio, so it will be twice as loud.

523

Super easy.

524

select our little overlay here, come to volume, and bring the volume all the way down.

525

Now, if we play through this, you'll see it's starting to look pretty cool.

526

I get asked this question all the time.

527

Although my favorite platform is long-form content on YouTube.

528

Okay, so Rotoscope, we can check.

529

That is a super cool and powerful tool to use.

530

Up next, we're gonna start adding stickers and animating them.

531

This is gonna add more context to our video.

532

And by the way, I just went back to the main menu, and you'll notice that our timeline has gotten compressed like crazy that's just CapCut trying to save space.

533

If you ever wanna get back to the text layers, you will tap on text and you'll notice the captions are back.

534

We can go back to the main menu and now they're gone.

535

If you wanna get back to the overlay layer, you will click on overlay and you will see all of those.

536

So it's easy sometimes to get lost.

537

All you need to do is remember, what am I trying to edit?

538

Tap on that on the main menu and it'll bring up the relevant timeline.

539

Now at this point in the video, I'm talking about how my favorite platform to create content on is YouTube, but it's not what I recommend most people to start with.

540

So we want a sticker that represents YouTube.

541

So I'm gonna come down to our main menu, hit on stickers, and I'm just gonna save myself the time and type YouTube.

542

CapCut usually has a decent selection.

543

This one is pretty cool.

544

We'll add that to our video and I'll just resize it up here at the top with my fingers.

545

Okay, cool.

546

Now the next one we wanna add is an X because I'm saying this isn't where I think people should start.

547

So we'll hit cross up on the search and grab this nice little animated one right here.

548

Kind of reframe that there, hit cancel, check.

549

And now you can see we have two layers on the timeline for our graphics.

550

We have our YouTube graphic right here up top and then we have our X graphic right there.

551

And if we play through it, up next we need to make sure that these are timed up as they should be.

552

Although my favorite platform is long form content on YouTube.

553

So YouTube came in at the right time

554

but I need to move the X back because it really shouldn't be coming in yet.

555

Actually isn't where I think most beginners should start.

556

Cool, so that looks good.

557

We'll just extend these so they last for the whole clip and we're good to go.

558

Although my favorite platform is long form content on YouTube, this actually isn't where I think most beginners should start.

559

Awesome, that looks good.

560

I'll move this up just a hair.

561

And the next thing that I want to do is animate these.

562

So rather than have the YouTube just pop in and not look professional at all, We will select it, hit animations,

563

and I'm gonna choose slide down.

564

It's giving you a little idea of what it will look like.

565

And as always, we can do the in animation, the out animation, or do a loop.

566

I'm just gonna do a slide right here, increase the length of it a little bit, and hit check.

567

Not bad.

568

Now the X already has a pre-built-in animation, so we'll just leave that as is.

569

And now the script says, creating long-form video takes a long time.

570

So I'm gonna do a cool little animation where I replace the X with a clock.

571

So we'll shorten this guy down to right here.

572

We will go back to our main menu and add a new sticker right here for a clock.

573

I like this one right here.

574

So we'll add that, get it right where the X was as well.

575

And we will just cancel out of the search, hit check.

576

And now rather than just have it cut from X to clock, I want an animation that makes this entire process look seamless.

577

So we're gonna tap on our X layer right here, animate.

578

And now we actually aren't animating the in, we're animating the out, right?

579

Cause this is the end of the X.

580

So we'll hit slide right, and it slides right off the screen, which is perfect.

581

We'll hit check.

582

And now we will come to our clock, animate.

583

We wanna animate the in, which is what we're already on.

584

And again, we wanna slide right.

585

So now if we look at this, They kind of push one another off screen, which is cool.

586

Not bad.

587

And if I wanted to,

588

I could also upgrade this to a new layer by just clicking and dragging it down.

589

And then I can hold it, bring it back just a little bit so they overlap, extend this guy right here, and now they will have more of a tighter transition.

590

Start.

591

Creating a long form video takes a long time and there's a lot of skill associated with doing that. So cool.

592

Not bad at all.

593

You're definitely becoming an expert one little tip at a time here, but we're going to keep on moving.

594

We're almost done, but I want to add some more stickers here.

595

Like Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram.

596

So we say Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram.

597

And again, I want to add some stickers here.

598

So we're going to go back to sticker.

599

We're going to search because we said Facebook.

600

So we'll add that guy.

601

Then we'll just keep searching here while we've got it up to TikTok.

602

Add the TikTok logo and then we will add Instagram as well.

603

That one looks good.

604

So now we'll cancel out of this right here just so we can get the screen back.

605

And Facebook comes first.

606

So we'll get this guy over here.

607

Then TikTok was second.

608

So we'll get this guy right here.

609

And then Instagram was third.

610

And I'm going to use my finger and just change the orientation and size of these a little bit.

611

Not bad.

612

Pretty cool.

613

And when it actually plays through, the auto caption will be up top.

614

The last steps here will just be to time up these graphics to make sure they pop in

615

when I say them in the script, and then we'll animate them as well.

616

So Facebook starts right here.

617

TikTok starts right here.

618

And Instagram starts right here.

619

like facebook tick tock or instagram make videos not bad

620

and then we're just going to do an animation for each of them

621

so we'll tap on each layer animate i'm going to do in bounce

622

and then i'm going to do out bounce that way it bounces in

623

and then bounces out at the same time we'll do the repeat of

624

that for tick tock so bounce in out and then bounce out as well Same thing,

625

we're gonna add our in and out for Instagram.

626

So bounce in, out, bounce out, and we'll hit check.

627

So we'll play through that, now you can see how all the animations kind of impacted that.

628

.. platform like Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram, make videos that are like 10 to 30.

629

Pretty cool, but we've got our B-roll showing up in just a second, so I'm gonna scroll to where the B-roll starts,

630

and make sure all the graphics are trimmed just so they are off screen before the B-roll.

631

Looks pretty good, although it's a little busy around the text,

632

so I'm just gonna spread these guys out a little bit. That looks better.

633

Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram, make videos that are like 10 to 30 seconds long, build up the skill sets, have a ton of fun doing it,

634

and then eventually graduate to YouTube over time.

635

And realistically, I would just continue that process over and over and over again.

636

I would add stickers, animate them, I would rotoscope some more backgrounds, I would add some more key frame zooms, maybe add some text and titles here and there,

637

but the process gets repetitive, so rather than just extending this video and making it longer, you can rewind, pause, and get a refresher on any of the sections that we taught here.

638

I know this was a longer video, but I truly hope you found it valuable.

639

I personally remember when I was learning this stuff, I felt I could only learn by watching over the shoulder, somebody doing it step by step, explaining every step of that process.

640

That's what I tried to give you today.

641

If you liked this, like I said earlier, it is a small taste of what we teach inside our full course,

642

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
