How to Change Resolution & Frame Rate in CapCut PRO TIP

If you're using CapCut to edit videos, you might want to adjust the resolution and frame rate to suit different platforms or to optimize performance. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process.

Step 1: Start a New Project

• Click on "New Project."
• Select the video you want to edit.
• Click "Add" to add it to the timeline.

Your video will now be displayed in the timeline section, ready for editing.

Step 2: Adjust the Resolution

Move to the top right corner of the interface where you see the current resolution (e.g., 1080p).

• 1080p (Full HD): Good for high-definition viewing experience.
• 720p (Standard Definition): Commonly used for platforms like TikTok. Reduces the video quality but also saves on memory usage.
• 2K to 4K (Ultra HD): Best for ultra high-definition output but will consume more memory. Note that this option is only useful if your video was originally recorded in 4K.

Step 3: Keep Recording Settings in Mind

Remember that increasing the resolution will not enhance your video quality if the original recording is in a lower resolution. Always stick to the resolution your video was recorded in for the best results.

Step 4: Adjust the Frame Rate

Frame rate adjustment is also available:

• Default (30 fps): Standard setting which is typically fine for most videos.
• 60 fps: If your video was recorded in 60 frames per second, you can set it to this. This setting enhances the smoothness of the video but also increases file size.

Manipulating the frame rate slider will show how the estimated file size changes. Reducing the frame rate can help in decreasing the file size.

Step 5: Save Your Settings

Make sure to save your changes to ensure they’re applied to the video. You can also see how changes in resolution and frame rate impact file size in the estimated file size section.

By following these simple steps, you can effectively manage the resolution and frame rate in your CapCut projects, optimizing your video for your targeted platform and audience.
