I can make text float over my hand. You can make some stunning visual effects using  something called masks. And check out this one. You could even have your video sing to you. These are just a few of my  favorite CapCut video editing   tips and tricks that we're going to  look at today, so let's check these out. Tip #1 and this is a quick one. On  mobile, when you create a new project,   CapCut by default includes an  ending showing the CapCut logo. Now of course, you can click on this and then  you can delete it, but if you'd rather not   have to do that every single time you start a  project, you can go back to the home screen,   then click on these settings gear and then  uncheck this toggle to add the default ending. Now when you start a new project, you'll  no longer have the CapCut logo included. Tip #2. Most people associate CapCut with  a mobile video editing experience, but   you can also edit videos directly on the web or  via a desktop app. To get the web experience,   head to the website capcut.com and then  you can click on this button that says   get started for free, and that opens  up the full-blown editor on the web. The one downside with the web  is you have to upload all of   your clips to the cloud first before you  can start pulling together your project. To get the desktop app, also on capcut.com,  you can click on this download button,   and you can download the app  for either Windows or Mac. The nice thing about the desktop app is  you don't have to upload any of your clips,   you can just work on all of them locally on your  computer. In terms of feature functionality,   the mobile app are by far the most feature rich,  but the desktop app is pretty close behind,   and the web experience is by far  the most barebones of the three.   Tip #3. You can convert  text-to-speech or even text-to-song. Within CapCut, first insert some  text, then type some text in. Here I'll type in Kevin is the best. Once you type in your text, with the text objects  selected, go up and click on text-to-speech. Here you'll see a number of voices. Many of them are just the standard voices  and we could listen to what that sounds like. Kevin is the best. Some of my favorites include the  vocalists and they'll sing your text. Let's click on this to preview it. Kevin is the best. That sounds pretty epic. Once you insert  the text-to-speech onto your timeline,   it'll insert another audio object  right here on the timeline. Tip #4.   CapCut makes it really simple to edit to the beat. This one only works on mobile. Here I am on my  timeline, and I have a few different video clips   and I also have a song. Here I can click on the  song and one of the options is titled match cut. Let's tap on that. Here I can manually add the beat to my song. But I'd rather have CapCut do the heavy  lifting, so here I’ll select auto detect   and here it finds the beat in the song,  and it adds these little yellow dots.   When I go back to the main timeline view, I  can see those yellow dots on the audio track. Now when I adjust my video clips,  it'll snap to those little yellow dots,   making it really easy to edit to the beat. Tip  #5. You can play one video on top of another video   using something called overlay or what's  sometimes referred to as picture-in-picture. Here in the desktop app, I'll drag  one clip down onto the timeline and   then I'll select another clip and  drag that down onto the timeline,   except I'll place it on the  layer above the previous clip. I'll click on the top most clip and  then go up to the preview area and   here I can re-adjust the size and also  adjust the position, and check that out. I now have one video playing  on top of another video. Especially if you want the clips to be in sync,  you'll have to make sure that they're aligned,   and you can use the waveforms to  make sure that they're in sync. Here I'll select the top most video, and this is a  really cool feature. In the top right-hand corner,   I'll select video, then cutout and then I can  tick this box for auto cutout and look at that. It's just automatically removed  the background behind me. That's pretty cool. On mobile you can do all of this as well. When you click on a clip, you'll  have to select the overlay option   and that'll move the clip to another track. To remove the background on a clip,  you'll have to click on the clip,   then go to remove background and  then remove background again. Tip #6. CapCut supports green screens or what's  also known as chroma key, and this works on   both desktop and mobile, so here once again on my  timeline, I have two clips and the top most layer   has a video of me with a green screen behind me,  but I just want to overlay the video underneath. I’ll select the video clip on top, then once  again, I’ll go up into the top right-hand corner   and select video, then cutout. But instead of  choosing auto cutout like we did last time,   this time I'll select chroma key  and I need to select the color. I'll click on this and then I'll  go over and select the color green.   This will remove the color green. I have a few settings over  here to fine tune how it looks. Now I think this looks  pretty good and there it is. Look at that. I am now overlaying this other  video clip. For the best result,   you'll want to make sure that  your green screen is evenly lit. Now of the two options, I  personally prefer this one. I think it ends up with just a cleaner look,  of course you have to invest in a green screen.   Tip #7. You can use keyframes to pull off some  pretty nice effects like zooming in or panning. Here I am in my timeline, and I have  this clip that I want to zoom in on. I'll go to the very beginning of the clip, then in  the top right-hand corner, I'll click on video and   within the basic section under scale I'll click on  this diamond icon. That inserts my first keyframe. For this one, I'll leave the scale at just 100%. Then I'll go all the way to the  end of the clip, and once again,   I'll click on this diamond icon.  That inserts another keyframe.   On this keyframe, I'll adjust the scale  to let's say about 140, maybe 150%. Now if I go to the very beginning of the clip and  play it, you’ll notice that it starts zooming in,   so it starts at 100% scale and as it approaches  the second keyframe, it moves up to 150% scale.   With keyframes, you define the state at one  point in time and then you also define the   state at another point in time and then CapCut  will morph between those two different keyframes. You can also use keyframes on things  like the position, the rotation,   the blend. You could even use it for things  like audio where you could adjust the volume. Tip #8. You can generate auto captions.   Basically, text that matches  word for word what you're saying.   Within CapCut, here I have a video of myself  speaking and I want this to have some captions. I'll click on text and within the text  group there's the option for auto captions. When I click on this, it starts listening to  all of the audio and it generates captions   that match every single thing that I say, and here  now we see captions overlayed on top of my video. That was pretty easy. Now when you look at the text, the style might  not match exactly what you're looking for. I can click on the text, and I can go through, and  I could update the style to something that I like. Once I make my changes to the text,   I can set it so it automatically applies it  to all of the captions of my video. Tip #9. You can use jump cuts to make your video just a  little bit more interesting, so here's an example. I'm making a point and then it jumps in on me. Then once I'm done making that  point, then it jumps back out. This is very easy to do. On your timeline,   right at the point where you  want to jump in, press the B key. This will open up the blade tool  and then you can split your clip. Then go to the end of the section  where you want to jump out again   and once again with the blade tool, here split  the clip once again, then press the A key. This will open up the selection tool again and  click on the section that you want to jump in on.   In the top right-hand corner, you can adjust  the scale, so this is what you're jumping in on. Once you're all done, we can play it  back and here you see it's normal,   then it jumps in, and then it jumps back out. Tip #10. Tracking and this one only works  on mobile currently. Here in this example   I have text that tracks my hand so it looks  like this text is floating above my hand. This is such a cool effect. Here in CapCut, I already have text and  I have my video clip with my hand out. I'll click on the text. Within text,  there's the option for tracking. I'll click on this. Once I select tracking, I  now have to select what object I want to track. Here I'll select my hand.  Now I’ll click on tracking. Once it's all done tracking my hand, I can  now press on play and here we'll see that the   text is now locked to my hand, and I could  track many other types of things as well,   and I could lock that to many other types  of objects. And this brings us to tip #11.   Unfortunately, this is our very last tip  of today, but this is a really good one. You can use masks on mobile and desktop to  pull off some pretty amazing visual effects. Let's check out how to pull this one off.   Here I have the original video  clip up here in my media bin. I'll pull this down onto my timeline, and  I'll move it up to the higher-level track. This will make it a little bit easier to work  with, and here I can zoom in a little bit.   When I move the playhead, here you'll see  that I bike through behind the tree. There   I bike through, and I bike to the other side,  and as I go towards the end, here I run from   one side of the tree over to the other side of  the tree. So, how do we pull off this effect? Well, let's go to the biking portion  right here, and I want to cut this clip   right at the point where I'm  coming out from behind the tree. So right here I'll press the B key. That opens   up the blade and here I can  cut it right at that point. Next, I want to click on this clip once again  and here I'll pull it back onto the timeline. So, I have the same clip two different  times and I want to get these in sync. So here I'll move the play  head forward, and now I want me   walking or running behind the tree, and right  at this point, I come out from behind the tree. So right here too, I'll also cut  the clip right at this point.   I'll press the A key to open up the  selection tool and I'll delete this portion   and over here I'll delete this portion. So  once again, here at the beginning of the clip,   here I'm biking out from behind the tree, and  over here I'm jumping out from behind the tree. Now I'll move this clip all  the way to the beginning,   so these two clips are now completely in sync. This is the running clip,  and this is the biking clip. I'll take the biking clip and let me  just extend it again, so the bike is   just entering the frame, and over here, I'll  adjust this to match the clip down below. Then with this clip where I'm running, here I want  it to end right as I'm walking out of the frame. So here I'll adjust it and it looks like  right at this point is when I walk out,   so I'll end it there and I'll take the bike clip  and here too I'll also end it at that same point. So right now, these two clips are the exact  same length and they're completely in sync,   but I want them to show me biking and  then I jump out from behind the tree. So how do we do that? Well, we're going to use the magic of masks. I'll take this clip and let me pull it over here. This will make it easier to  illustrate what's happening. I will place my play head over the running clip  and in the top right-hand corner under video,   I'll click on mask, and I have a  bunch of different mask options.   I’ll select the one that says split  and right now this has split my clip.   Here I'll rotate this, so we split  it right at this point of the tree. I'll adjust it a little bit so it's  on the shadow portion of the tree.   That’ll results in a slightly better effect, and  over here I can use this to apply some feathering. That way it smooths it out just a little bit. This black area is transparent. So right over here, I can see this clip over  on the right-hand side and in this black area   I see the track that's beneath this running track  right up here. Now when I take this clip and I   move it over the biking track, here it'll show the  biking over on the left-hand side because that's   the lower clip and then over on the right-hand  side, it’s showing the track that's above and   that produces this really neat effect where I bike  towards the tree, and I jump out the other side. That's one way you can use masks to pull  together some pretty impressive effects. All right, well, those are some of my favorite  effects in CapCut. Let me know down below in the   comments, which one was your favorite or even  feel free to list ones that I didn't cover.
