How to Export High Quality Videos in CapCut PC | CapCut Desktop Tutorial 2023

Hey everyone, Shane here with Five to Nine Creator, and today I'm going to guide you through the process of exporting your videos, and even audio, using CapCut for PC. Let's dive right in.

Step-by-Step Guide to Exporting Videos

Let's assume you've finished editing your video and you're ready to export it.

Initiate Export Process
- Navigate to the top right corner and click on the Export button.
Configure Export Settings

A pop-up box will appear; let's go through each setting to ensure you have the perfect export:
- Title Your Project
  Enter your project name. For this example, let's use "My Example."
- Choose Destination Folder
  Specify where you want the exported file to be saved. Having a dedicated folder for all your final videos is a good practice.
- Resolution
  You can only export at the highest resolution that matches your original video. For instance, if your footage is in 1080p, you should export in 1080p.
- Bitrate
  Stick with the recommended bitrate. A higher bitrate might be required for platforms like YouTube, but for general social media, the recommended rate is sufficient.
- Codec
  Use H.264. Options like HEVC (commonly used by iPhones) or AV1 generally compress files too much, leading to quality loss.
- Format
  Choose between MP4 or MOV. Both formats are generally acceptable, but MP4 is more universally compatible.
- Frame Rate
  Set it to match your footage. For example, if your footage is at 30 frames per second, set your export to 30fps.
- Optional Cover
  You can add a cover, but it's generally not necessary.

Exporting Audio

If you want to export just the audio, say, for a podcast:

Check the Export Audio box.
Choose your preferred format: MP3, WAV, or AAC. MP3 is usually best due to its small file size and broad compatibility.

Finalizing the Export

Hit the Export button, and your video will be rendered and saved to your chosen destination. If you chose to export both video and audio, two separate files will be generated.

And that's how you easily export high-quality videos and audio using CapCut for PC! If you found this guide helpful, don't forget to give it a thumbs up, and subscribe for more tutorials.

FAQ

Q: Can I export my video at a higher resolution than it was recorded? A: No, you can only export at the highest resolution that matches your original video. Exporting at a higher resolution won't improve quality and just increases file size.

Q: Which bitrate should I use? A: Stick with the recommended bitrate, especially for social media. Only increase it if you're uploading to platforms like YouTube which support higher bitrates.

Q: What codec should I use? A: Use H.264 for a balance between quality and file size. Avoid HEVC and AV1 unless you have specific requirements.

Q: Should I export in MP4 or MOV? A: It depends, but generally MP4 is more universally compatible across different media players and platforms.

Q: How do I export only the audio? A: Check the Export Audio box and choose your audio format. MP3 is recommended for its smaller file size and compatibility.

Q: Why is my exported video blurry? A: Ensure you're exporting at the same resolution as your original video and using the correct bitrate. Upgrading your export settings won't improve original poor quality footage.
