CapCut Mobile Video Editor for Content Creators

1. CapCut for Content Creators: What's up, guys, Welcome drug-free Dave here. So I'm gonna do something a little bit different than I normally do. I'm not going to be drawing or doing 3D modeling. I'm actually going to be talking about cap cut. Cap cut is a free video editing software that I use on my cell phone, I use on my iPhone. We're going to focus on mobile because I use cap cut for all of my videos, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, they all go through cap cut. It's a free application. And if you want to be a content creator or if you just want to make cute little videos, even if it's just adding a watermark. A lot of people add watermarks so that people don't steal their, their artwork or their videos. I don't usually think about it that way. I use my logo or watermark just so that if a video goes viral or if someone repost it somewhere, it should always be able to be traced back to you. So even if you're just going to use it for that, It's a great application. You can add titles, trim, and cut it a little bit as actually goes down. You can add transitions and fun little stickers and effects and things like that. So you can use all of that with cap cut. And it's really a part of my workflow that I don't really talk about that much because I never really thought that anyone would be interested in how I edit videos and how I use cap cut. But if you want to be a content creator, you're videos have to be pretty much perfect, which is impossible, but you have to make them as perfect as you can in a timely fashion. So that's why I think it's important to just show you what I use in every aspect of my content creation so that you can use it as well and grow and get better at what you do. I just really like it. I use it every day. It's a permanent part of my workflow. So I want to share it with you guys. Alright, so let's move on to the next video class, project. 2. Class Project: Welcome to class projects. So this one's really easy, really simple. Just take some videos. You can use my test videos or just take your own. Just take some clips. You, if you have a pet, you can go outside. I would recommend like five or ten videos, five to 10 s each. Nothing too crazy to start with. And just play around with it, edit it. There's so much in cap cut that I can't really go through everything because it would literally take forever. But there's a lot in capital at that you can play around with. I'll show you some of the filters. I'll show you some of the basic things, trimming, exposure and things like that. Just the basic things that get you started. But yeah, that's pretty much all I want to see for the class project. I'm also going to go through posting it. So if you post it, obviously tagged me it really, I'm looking forward to seeing what you make and seeing your videos. And it's really easy, it's free, and it just brings your videos to the next level. And so now I can't even really like send anyone a video unless it's like gone through the works with cap cut. But yeah, let's jump into it. Let's get to the next video, Getting Started. Also, by the way, I recorded all of this stuff before, like maybe like 25 min worth of footage that I wanted to edit down. And I forgot to add my microphone to my camera because I was traveling. So now I'm redoing it. You can do it. 3. Getting Started: Alright, so let's get started with downloading and installing CCAP gut. This is the iPhone 14 Pro. This is the pixel six. I already have it installed on the iPhone. Of course you would just go to the App Store. Lets see kept cut. Alright, and then it shows up here. Then you just open it. Of course, I already have mine open, but it'll look something like this. I have a ton of projects because I literally use it all the time. Just about every day. On Android, you would go to the Play Store or whatever stores, just search cap cut. First thing that shows up, install and then it will go through and install cap gut. I would say that I use it for every single one of my videos. A lot of my videos I take from Final Cut Pro. I used to take them from iMovie and I would bring them over to cap cut to edit so I can make them proper for the phones. So I just accept everything. Then you get something like this. You might get some of these. So it depends on if you want notifications or not. I'll just hit don't allow. And of course, it'll ask you if you want to allow it to get to the music and the pictures on your phone. I don't want notifications. So these are all this is just the stuff I have on this phone. Pictures as well. So you can upload videos and photos. Let's start with a new project. So you just hit New Project here, and then it automatically goes to your photos and videos so that you can add whatever you want. For this first one. I'm just going to add a lot of my little visitors from the backyard. So I'm just going to add those. I'll start with this one. And when you're adding them, this is the order that they're going to show up on your video. So I'm not sure what the rest of these are, but I know I have a bunch of these animal videos. So I'm just going to select them all. You see, these are all our Eclipse down here. You can hit Add seven. So now that you have all your videos, you can scroll just by swiping down here, this is pretty much where you're going to be. Obviously, this is your preview of your video. And when you import video, it's going to show up at this same exact ratio as the video, wherever the video is. So if it's horizontal, it's going to be horizontal. If it's vertical, it's going to be vertical. And you can see all these little cut marks. That's where you video changes. And of course, you can do just as you would with any video. I'm like on your phone, you can use two fingers to shrink it and make it bigger that way now we can see it a little easier. I believe that the first time you do it there might be a little cap cut. It might look like this. You can delete this little bit at the end. I'm just going to expand so I can see it, so I can tap on it. This is just a little cap cut ending. So if you have that, just tap on it and you can tap Delete. And of course that's the same way that you would delete any of your any of your videos. 4. Recording Content: So since they make a lot of my own content with my artwork, I'm just gonna show you how I record videos and specific videos so I can bring them into cap cut and use different settings with them and put them together. So I think I'm going to edit this video and then I'll make a new video at it both. So I'll show you different things that I do with different videos. So even though I have all these videos sort of setup, once you add videos in, you can hit X here and it's saved as a projects. And now this new project that we just made is here. But I'm going to use the amuse my phone to record a new video so I can show you how vertical video works in cap cut, different things I might do with that sort of content. Okay, So sometimes I make videos where I have something moving in reverse and it's just like a weird creation, and then it turns into a character. So I'll just show you how to make that. It's very simple. I just have whatever the yard is that I want to record my phone. Go to the video. Alright, so now we have our video here. I'm going to try to keep everything in frame so you can see pretty much what I'm doing. So I pretty much tried to frame it vertically In the phone. And I do have to cut some things off, but that's okay because if it's vertical, you just want it to look big and bold vertically. Then I'll just hit record. And my hand was solely come in and it'll cross out and it'll be something like that. Had stopped. And then I have my video. 5. Importing Video: Okay, so we were gosh, I'm gonna really can't talk. We recorded a video. Let's do a preview. Looks pretty good. Everything looks in focus. Lunch pretty clear. And okay, so it looks great. Now I'm just going to go to cap cut new project and add the video. And now we have our new video here directly in cap cut. And as you can see, it's a vertical orientation. And the only thing I need to do with this video is reverse it. So a tap on the video here. And I make sure I hit back. See. When you tap on the video, you have certain options that pop up. Certain options to edit it. When you tap back, these are the main options for cap cut. And there's a lot of options here. There's a lot of different things. So you can sort of, they're very easy to understand. It's just like with a photo gallery. You have edit, texts, tickers, overlay. Overlay is when you, if you have a logo and you want to add it on there, then you can add an overlay. Things like that. I'll use a photo. And let's say I wanted to use my, my one of my logos or something like that. So you can add that. And then you can stretch these. You can make them as long as you want. Okay, so let's reverse this video. I want to tap on this video. And I want to look through these until I get to reverse. Then you just tap reverse. So now the reverse is applied. So when you play it slides right into place perfectly. The only thing I did notice is I have my voice in there, which I wouldn't use if I was going to use it for Instagram or TikTok. So you can take the audio out and see you. I just scrolled back to volume and you can just put that to zero. Then just hit the little check mark. And now it's at zero. If you want to add a video or picture to a specific spot or in-between two videos. You can have this line. You can just navigate to the lines where you want to add the video. So you can add it in the middle of videos or in the beginning. Let's say we bring it there and then you hit plus, and then add your photo or video. And then hit Add. And then it shows up here. And again, if it's very small, you can tap on the video, expand. And then you have your video. 6. CapCut Editing: Okay, so when it comes to editing your video, we'll start with this horizontal video. The first thing you wanna do is figure out the ratio that you want your video. So if you're going to post on Instagram, TikTok, anything with a cell phone, you want it to be vertical. So in order to do that, you want to go down here. And if you can't find this, you might have clicked on this because then you won't see the same icons. So if you see this little back button, you just want to make sure that it's not showing. And you have these options here. So then you go to the right here, a ratio. Then you have all of these 19916. That's like your normal vertical size. That's probably perfect for cell phones, but I personally like to use 34. I don't know. I just think it looks better. This is just a personal thing for me. So I usually choose 34. And then we have that black bars on the top and the bottom. So I don't like that either. So what I do for that is you just want to hit back. You want to go to Canvas. It's right next to ratio, so you tap Canvas. And then I like to tap blur. Then I just blur the top and the bottom and you can hit this little arrow here. So of course you have these other things. You can upload a background. You can just upload any photo that you might want for the background, which I think usually doesn't I usually don't apply to upload a background. I think it looks silly. Or we can make it a color, something like that. But I like to go with just your regular blur. Unfortunately, we do have to do it for all of this, all of the clips. But you want to do it now before you start editing the clips because then you'll have to do it for each. Like if we cut this three times, we'd have to do it three times. So just remember, hit Canvas, blur. Then you can blur. Now, a little trick is you can just slide it over. Then it goes to the next clip and then you can just hit blur. And it kinda save some time. I can probably shrink this a little bit. And that might make it a little faster. So I hit blur. Go to the next one had blur. Like so I'll just make sure that I didn't miss any. Here we go. So then we'll just hit the check mark. And now at least you have you don't have those black bars on top. You have a little movement. I think that this is acceptable if we're going to use horizontal video for some sort of posts like this. So the next thing you wanna do is trim all your videos. That's also really easy, steep. See we're still on the blur menu, so we're just going to hit back. So just find the most interesting parts of your video. E.g. I think it's cute with the bird right in front. Kind of dies right there. So I'm just going to tap on the video and see where this white line is. That's where it's going to cut. That's like your cursor. So I'm going to tap split. And I'm just going to expand this a little bit because it looks really. So then we have play and it cuts right there. And now we have the rest of the video. So I'll just play it through. And then you don't want any dead space. You don't want any dead space where nothing is really happening. I'll fast forward. So that's kind of an interesting thing here we have the bird pulling some fluid out. So that's kind of interesting. Let's see what else we have. Now we have in digging in there again and popping out again. So that's pretty Q2. So maybe we'll try this. So I just, I just put this slide a tour. I want it tap this. You see, split, it, split. This is all the dead space behind it so we can just delete that. And it probably dies right there. So we split it, pulls the food out and we'll probably just cut it there. And we'll just take those as our two interesting spots. In this part. I'll just delete it. So this is the rest of the video. So next we have a little mouse. And I'll hit play. He pauses there for awhile. And then he runs, plenty runs out. So it's not really that exciting. So I might actually just take it from here and just split and delete the beginning part. So then you just have him pausing, running in the bowl and then running away. And that's, that's pretty much it for this clip. So I'll just split it there and delete the end. You have a little cat looking at walking over to camera. A pause it. And I don't think he does really much else. So we'll just pause it right when it gets to the camera. So maybe we'll pause it there. Split sniffs around. Any cross back over the bowl. So we'll take that action, will split it here, and we'll cut everything in between there. Now we have these two moments where he walks over the ball. Then let's cut it at the end. Doesn't really do much, just kinda sitting there, walks around there. So we'll delete through the rest of this. This is him in the daytime. So maybe we'll pause it there, see what else he died. It doesn't really do much else. So we'll delete it and I'll put this one in front. See how I just hold it down. You long press and then you can place it where you want. That's the mouse, I believe. I think this is the cat, so you could just long press and then you can just put it wherever you want it. So let's see, should be the mouse. Then we have the candidate time cat at night. Okay, and then we have the possum sniffing around. So this is probably a good spot. Him sniffing around and CBD does anything else exciting? Not really in this video. So we can delete the rest of this. And then we just have him sniffing around. Pretty cute. Oh, maybe we just want them sniffing around. And we'll pause it. And let's cut this part is just drinking water, so it's not that exciting. But maybe it's more exciting to put this clip in front of the other clip. So we have the cat sniffing around. Then we have him in front. The next we have a raccoon snitch really quick and then cross and the back and over the fence. So another way that you can trim the video is actually to take this little slider and you can slide it back and forth. And that will just do that. It'll just show you where the video cuts once you let go. That's where the video cuts. So you can do that at both ends using these little n tabs. Since it's the end of the video, said we want to fade out something really simple. So we just tap on the video, hit animation. And then you have a lot of these and a lot of these different transitions, like for ending. So N means the front part of the video, so we want out. So that's the end of the video or end of the clip. So if he's tapped out, fade out. It actually fades. Won't fade to black. It was kinda just fade to like our background blur. So it fades out that way. Okay, So that looks pretty good. Cat was a little slow here. So maybe I'll just bring this in a little bit since it's, this is kind of a long clip. And I'll have it. So the cat here and then starts to climb over the bowl. So that's kinda a little bit more interesting. I think. I'm going to make this a little smaller too. So I'll bring this in. The rest of the editing is that there's a ton of things in cap cut. But one of the other things that's really important, if you tap on it and you tap speed, then you tap normal. Here's the normal speed. And you can move it up. In a clip, will go really fast. So if we hit Okay, beginning of this clip is really fast, it's sped up. But to undo, you just press this little arrow here, this little hook. Now you can undo it and it's the normal speed. And of course we have text stickers, overlay, overlay. There's effects. So all of these things is just fun to just go through and play around with. Dell obviously change your video and give your video certain looks just like with any other app. They're just like filters and things like that. Let's say we want to speed up the end of this. When he walks away, I'm going to split. And then I want to speed up this because this is too, too long. So you want to tap on it, speed normal, and we'll make it about 3 s or so late. Okay. Then we have this. And he sped up. Okay, So we'll go over a few more editing tricks in the next video. 7. Video Adjustments, Transitions, & Filters: Okay, so let's go through a few more things with the video. You notice that some of these are a bit dark. So it might be nice to sort of adjust the video a little bit. So you can tap on the clip that you want to adjust. And you can go to adjust here. So these are pretty much the same as like photo apps. You can adjust the brightness, things like that. For this one, I might use exposure. I might try to just turn that up a little bit. And you can see, you might have to sort of play around with it. Maybe I'll do a little bit of brightness as well. And maybe play with the contrast a little bit and then just hit Okay, so all of these other options, it depends on your video vignette, but you can play around with those and just figure out what each one means by going through. I'm not gonna go through every single one because those are just if you play around with them, then you'll, that'll be the easiest way to learn that. But it is just important to know how to adjust the video. So that's, that's one thing that I'd like to adjust. This is pretty dark as well. These are pretty dark. So we'll do the same thing. Adjust the exposure here. So bring the exposure up and then I'll bring the brightness up a little bit. And probably would have been a good or a better thing for me to edit the videos before I cut them. Because if you cut them, then you have to match what you did on one with the other. So that can be a little tricky. So yeah, sorry, you should probably adjust it before you do any cutting. But even if not, it's not that big of a deal. Just you go to adjust or you can use a filter as well. Let's try to filter. Oops. Let's try to filter. Some of these are obviously paid and some might not work. Let's try and you have all of these up here. So there's a ton, there really is a ton. But you can go through, maybe you'll get something you like. Vw three looks pretty good. So let's press Okay. And then on this one, we can do the same thing. Just scroll over to filter. Filter. There it is. And I think it was VW three. Set it. Here we go, BW three. So things like that. You can use the same filter for both, maybe if that works. So the other really important thing is these breaks where there's a cut. You can do a lot with those. So when we're changing animals, Let's say e.g. let's just expand this. This is where you can add transitions. So if I tap on this and then these transitions come up for this, for changing animals, I'm going to use, Let's see, pull in the screen. So if I tap on that, it'll show you a little preview of what it looks like. And I'll tap on something else too so you can see it shows a little preview of what you are. You know what it looks like. So let's use pulling the screen. And maybe I want it to be a little bit faster. That's what this slider is. You can slide it down and it'll happen a lot faster. If I like that, I'll hit Okay, write the check mark. And maybe I want to do that when the animal changes. Then I'll just have to go through and just choose the same one as the animals change. So let's say we liked that for the animal change, but we wanted to another filter for the same animal so we can tap that one. And maybe one, maybe we want to do a blur, like bubble blur. You can do something like that. Or you can just do basic. And you can do a blink. And maybe we'll do the blink a little faster. It looks pretty good. Okay, so for this one we'll do pull in the screen. I try not to do too many different ones. That's the only reason why I'm showing you this and making a full video because I want to show you how I think as well. I tried to keep it fairly consistent with what I'm doing. So maybe I'll add a blink here. I think a blink was in basic. And there's a lot and it's pretty fun to play around with these two. There's a lot of filters. So you can do a lot of fun stuff. So this is a new animals, so we're going to do pull in the screen. Here it is. There we go. And then we have the fade out. You notice he doesn't jump off. It doesn't jump off the ball. So if you need to expand this, even though we added that fell to their tap on the one you want to expand and then drag this white bar. You can drag that over. So let's see how it looks now. That's a little bit better maybe when we want to give it another little smudge of time, you can do that. There we go. And maybe we want to give this a longer time to, because the filter is real to cut a little bit into how we edited our video. So if we want to pull this side back, we can pull it back like this. And that gives you the proper time to still see the action. Might do with this as well. We'll just pull it back a little bit. Whoops. Sometimes it gets a little tricky. Oh, that must be the MSB, the very beginning of the video. You can't pull it back, then you might not have enough video. So here's another really cool thing that you can do. Let's say we want to open up or the video with something interesting. So you can go here to Effects ME a video effects, body effects, photo effects. So we'll try video effects. And then we have a lot of these here. You can scroll around, you can scroll across the top. So we'll try opening and closing. Okay, so let's try, let's see what this is. We have camera focus. It's kind of interesting, so we'll hit Okay, and let's see what that looks like. It looks, it looks kinda cool. Let's try another effect just to kinda. So maybe we'll try another effect on this clip. Notice I don't see here, so I'm just gonna go back to the original. Tap on it again. Oh, so let's go back. And now here, Here's effects. Here we go. So video effects. Let's try something else. Glitch star, light. Let's try light. Let's try something fun. So maybe star. Let's go down to something moving or swirling. So maybe we'll try star rain one. We tap star rain one. And you see, once you tap it you have adjust. So I'm going to tap adjust, and here you have the amount. So maybe I want to lessen this. Maybe I want to slow the speed down a little bit. That's how you can adjust whatever the, whatever the effect is that you're using. And then we'll press this. And now you see you can move the effect as well. You can just long press it and you can slide it to where you want. Then it has the effect. And you can stretch it out just long, press the second panel and then you can stretch it out. Okay. Go ahead and delete this. We don't really need it. 8. Adding Titles: And titles are really important too. You might want to add those to your videos. So let's say we want to add a title here. Maybe we'll add it here. I'm just going to hit back until we see the T for text. Then we tap text, add text. And then this box come up. So don't try to click in the box, you just write the text here. The morning chirps. So now we have the morning chirps. I'll use this little, tiny little, little angles, these two angles here to make it bigger and smaller. And let's say we want to move it down. You can move it down there. So you have style, color, size, things like that, and you have effect. So this just adds like fun effects to it. And also you don't forget you have all of these here. So there's a ton. You have animation. So animation is how the texts comes in and how the texts exit when it's done. So e.g. let's look through and do kinda like this one here, chromatic. So we'll do that, see how in green this has n. That's because that's how the morning chirps will come into our scene. If we do out, then we can figure out how we want it to exit. So let's say we do something like this slingshot and press, Okay, now you see the arrows pointing, so we have something coming in, something going out. So when you play it. Another really important thing, if you tap on it again. If you double tap on it, you have all your options here. You can tap effect are not Effects. You can tap. Wasn't going to do. Oh, yes, the font. That's what that's what it was. You have all of these fonts that you can use. I tend to use, where's the one I like? I think it's called New need to Nieto. And eventually you'll get like certain fonts and things that you just use normally. I try to keep things consistent. Maybe I'll use something different. Palmer lake, I'll use something different. So hit. Okay. So now let's name him something else. So I'll add text. You can add it and add everything again. But another little trick that I do is I'll take this one, I'll tap on it and then hit Copy. And then I'll drag this one over a long, press it. Now I can double tap on it and I can just change the name and it has the same settings as the other one does. Grab grab-and-go. So he can be grab-and-go. So that's basically how you do text. I'm going to do these other ones, but I'm not going to make you sit through it. Of course, you have tons and tons of options here and effects that you can play around with. And it's really fun and it's easy to get, kind of get lost in. It's kinda easy to get lost in it. There is also text to speech. So if we tap text to speech, you have different voices and things like that. Rod and grabbing rather than go. So you have a lot of grab-and-go. So that's text-to-speech, which is pretty cool though. If we tap on it, Let's see. I can figure out how to get rid of text to speech. So if you wanted to leet, see now I have the sound on it, but if you want to delete it, just hit back. You see now there's like an audio. So tap on the audio, tap on the audio and then hit Delete, and that will get rid of the text-to-speech. So now if you want to see your text again, overlays and things, they'll kind of like go, you'll see this little orange bar on top. But they're kinda easy to get lost. So you just have to hit text and then you'll be able to edit the text again. You can also add sounds. There is like a library of sounds that cap kept good hands. So let's say we want to try to add a video of him. Kinda speed and away there. We'll go to audio. And you can go to Effects. And now you have all of these effects that you can use. Laugh, fight transitions, things like that. Animals. So you have a lot of these, a lot of these that you can use. Let's see if we can find something like some sort of like running or something mechanical magic, you can just tap wanted to play it. So maybe we'll put a Boeing bounce. So let's press the little plus. And now you see this sound here. But it doesn't. Maybe it only makes sense when he, when he jumps up there. So now I'm going to long press it and move it over here. Let's see if that makes sense. It's a little loud and it's a little slow. So maybe I'll put a little more space at the end. For this. Maybe I want to lower the volume so I'll just tap on it. Hit volume and we'll just lower that a little bit. Make it a little more subtle, and then press the check. Something like that. So you can also add sounds. And obviously there's a few more options here, voice effects and things like that. I tend not to do that because I tend to just add music. You know, when I upload it to whatever the app is, the birds are making plenty of sounds, so I don't have to add sounds. But sometimes it is fun. Like if there was a scampering sound to add, like maybe for this little guy or a meow or something for the cat. 9. Keyframe Zoom & Exporting : So once you're happy with your video and you've checked it all through, you can export our right up here, ten ADP. So that's the resolution that we're going to export. You can change that if you'd like. But I tend to just leave it at ten ADP. You don't really need anything higher. You really could probably make due at 07:20 If it's just gonna be for social media, what I like to leave it at 1080 since I have plenty of room on my phone and things like that. Plus I like to save my videos and just put them on my computer and save them for later. Because you never know in the future and other social media app will be king and then you can repost these. So you just press this little arrow here and it exports. Keep cap cut open and don't lock the screen. Then you have these sharing options here. You can hit Done. And then you can just check your, you can check your level of your library and let's see. There it is. And here's our video here. So really quick, I'll do the same thing with the other video. But I don't need these extra, so I'm just going to click on them and delete them. So the only thing that I wanted to do for this is maybe make the beginning part a little bit faster or just trim it. So I'm going to tap it and then I'm going to long press this little n handle and slide it in. Maybe till about there. Play. The very last thing that I wanted to mention in the other videos is using these keyframes. So these keyframes are actually really good. So let's say we like what we have here. But I wanted to to what is it called? What's the, what's the term? I'm wanted to slightly zoom in. So let's say I want to zoom in from here to here and I want to make it a little bit closer on the eyes. So you just go to the, go to the part where you want it to be closer to the eyes. And then tap those little diamonds and you see this little red diamond here. So that's your first keyframe. So all you have to do is tap the diamond and you have one. And you go to where you want it to be a little closer or you can just go to the end of the clip, tap the little diamond. So now we have to, but nothing is happening. So you always want to go to this second diamond. And then we'll just expand this a little bit. Maybe move this a little bit more towards the middle. Notice this blue frame around, like that's our actual video. So you don't want to go too far where it turns white or you have black, that won't look good. You want to still be within your art, to be within the frame. So now we have the first red. Where's the first red one? Oh, there it is. Now. There we go. This is the first diamond. And this is the second diamond. Now when we hit play, It's kinda slowly zoom in to where that second diamond is. And that's very useful for different effects or different just zooming or painting whatever you might need. Just use those two diamonds. And if you need to get rid of them, you can just go to them and you see now there's a little minus. If you're off it, There's a plus. But when you're on it There's a minus. That's how you would get rid of it. And I'll do one I'll do a one that'll make it really clear what I'm doing. So one there, one there, I'm still on the second one. I'll make this really big. So now watch. So this whole space is just getting to this other diamond. That's all that is. I'm going to get rid of it. Get rid of this one. Boom. Now, export this as well. Now we have both of our videos here. Okay? And the next part of this, really easy. Obviously, you want to up, if you want to upload, Let's say we upload. Silence that. So if you want to upload, just go here to TikTok, press the little plus upload. And let's say we want to upload the animals. So you press that. Next. You go up here and add sound. And you can go to favorites. What somebody sounds are. So let's say you want to use that music so you can tap on it. You can hit volume. Let's say we want to turn this down 10%. We still want the original sound. We can turn that up a little bit. Maybe. We'll hit Done. Then you have a nice soundtrack for your video. What that was. It's kinda funny, but it actually worked for the video. So let's hit Next. Select a cover. Something that looks fairly interesting. So we'll save that one. And then we can backyard visitors or cap cut Skillshare. Skillshare. So we'll do hashtag, Skillshare hashtag, Brooklyn, let's do green point, Brooklyn For You page FIP. Drug-free, dave. Okay. So that we have our videos. I don't need to tag anyone and put the location if we want that. Green point in New York. And then we can post. I'll pause that so we don't get any I don't want to play anyone else's stuff on here. And then it uploads, and then you're good to go. So pretty much the same thing with Instagram or Facebook. But I just wanted to run you through my thoughts of making the whole video, editing it, and then uploading it to an actual social media. And that's pretty much how we do it. Let's see, 90%, 91. In there. There we go. So now if we go back to my profile and here's the video we just posted. But as you can see, I post a ton of videos. All of these videos you can see are, let me turn the volume down. All of these videos are pretty much the same exact thing. The same exact way. Because I edit all my videos. Sometimes I do a lot of the the main editing on the computer like for these very long videos like this is probably five or 6 h edited down. And then I export, I export this as a horizontal video. And then I do all my cap cut stuff. Like I think I will throw up the there's my YouTube. So I'll use that as an overlay. I don't usually have it at the whole video, but I just keep it in for a little bit at a time. So if this ever gets shared, it goes viral somewhere or someone else repost it. This will be here. People can always see, oh, this is from drug-free, Dave? And that's just another, this is a good practice to make sure that you're getting credit. Especially if it's just view credit or people that want to go see more of your work. This is an, obviously this video is from the computer and other like talking head, same thing, vertical or the horizontal video that I wanted to add to social media. So I use CAP Code for everything. It's really, really great. It's free and I think it's amazing. I use it pretty much every day. Alright, so I think that's about it. Here's another of the reverse videos. Have fun, enjoy. Hopefully that was useful. I have nothing but good things to say about cap cut. And hopefully this helps you to make better content. For your social media. 10. CapCut 9: Outro Thank You: Well, I'm looking forward to seeing your videos. Hopefully that was helpful. This is something that I do. Very often. I use this application all the time. It's totally worth it. I mean, it's free, but it's worth it just to bring your videos to the next level and edit them with an application that's pretty much a professional. I mean, if you want to consider myself a content creator, I know I use this application. I use bigger apps, I use Final Cut Pro and the computer to edit down my scopes and my drawings and things like that. But that's like five or 6 h worth of footage that I'm editing down, that takes me like ours. But once I get to a point where I can export it to my phone, then I use cap cut because you really have to polish things up specifically for mobile, specifically for a social media. I even have to change the times. Now you'll learn this if you're, if you're doing TikToks, if you're doing TikToks versus Facebook vs. Instagram, sometimes I've tried to keep them within 60 s because e.g. on TikTok, if you're looking up a song, it's most likely going to be 60 s. So I try to stick to that. Twitter, same thing, 60 s. But if I'm doing it for Facebook, I may slow it down and stretch it out for a minute. And 29 s because audio seems to go a little bit longer. Usually it's around a minute and thirty-seconds, things like that. So you'll have to just figure that out as you start posting videos on different social media as I do it all the time, and you just get used to each one. It's kind of annoying to have to post, post to each one, but it's a business. So think about it as a job. And this is one step on your way to really making professional content and professional looking content so that you can just continue to grow and get to where you need to be. Of course, you know, all my social media stuff is drug-free. Dave, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, all that stuff. And yeah, I think that's about it. Keep drawing, keep sculpting. I'll see you in the next video also let me know when you think about this. I also use Final Cut Pro. There's a few of the things that I use in my formula for everything that I make. So if you're interested in more videos like this that are different, I'm still going to do the other videos. But if you want to know more about my, the way I work in and you want to see more videos like this, then let me know because this is fun. It's just something different, something that I use every day. Officially. Keep drawing, keep sculpting. I'll see you all in the next video.
