Getting Started with CapCut
First things first, make sure you’re logged into CapCut. For this tutorial, we’re using CapCut on the web, which is accessible via a desktop web browser, not the app. Once you’re logged in, it’s time to upload the clip you want to cut.
Uploading Your Clip
Look for the “Media” section and click on “Upload.” From there, you can select the file you wish to cut. After uploading, your clips will appear in the project area. Select your project, and it will automatically go into your timeline, where the real magic begins.
Cutting Your Clips
Now that your clip is in the timeline, let’s explore the different ways you can cut it.
Shortening Your Clip
If you’re only interested in keeping a small portion of your video, simply find the part you want to keep. For example, if you want the very beginning, go to your clip and drag the end to the desired point. This method shortens your clip without the need to perform an actual cut.
Splitting Your Clip
For more precise cuts, move along the timeline to where you want to cut and select “Split.” You can also use the keyboard shortcut “Control B” for this action. Note that this method splits your clip into separate sections, allowing you to isolate parts of your video.
Removing Unwanted Portions
To remove a segment from your video, select another point where you want the cut to happen and split again. If you wish to delete the highlighted segment, simply hit “Delete.” This leaves you with the first and third clips, having removed the one in the middle.
Made a mistake? No problem! Just use “Control Z” to undo your action and restore the clip.
Additional Cutting Methods
CapCut also offers another handy feature for cutting clips. Look for the menu bar, and you’ll find an option to cut clips directly from there. This method provides yet another way to refine your edits.
Remember, to make a cut, you must select the clip first. If the clip isn’t highlighted, you won’t be able to cut it.
Cutting clips in CapCut might sound daunting at first, but with these simple steps, you’ll find it’s quite straightforward.
