How To Get 4K Quality On CapCut | Tutorial

Introduction

In this tutorial, we'll transform an original clip into a far better version by achieving high-quality 4K results using CapCut and a few enhancer apps. Follow these detailed steps to enhance the quality of your clips.

Important Information

Before diving into the tutorial, it's essential to know that the exceptionally high-quality clips often seen on platforms like TikTok are frequently made using a software called Topaz, which is available only on PC. For mobile editing, using an enhancer app is necessary. Here are some popular enhancer apps for upgrading your clip quality:

• Meitu
• Wink
• Time Cut
• Blur

In this guide, we'll focus on using Meitu and Time Cut.

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Using Meitu

1. Open Meitu: Launch the Meitu app and navigate to the video editing option.
2. Import Clip: Select and import your original clip.
3. Image Quality Enhancement: Click on the 'Image Quality' enhancement option and confirm.
4. Export Clip in 1080P: After the enhancement process is complete, save the clip in 1080P quality.

Step 2: Enhancing Using Meitu Again

1. Repeat Enhancement: Navigate back to the main menu and repeat the steps from the first enhancement. Import the previously exported clip.
2. Second Round of Enhancement: Again, click on 'Image Quality' and confirm to enhance the clip’s quality.
3. Export in 4K: This time, save the clip in 4K quality.

Step 3: Using Time Cut

1. Open Time Cut: Launch the Time Cut app.
2. Apply Preset: Use the first preset available, as it significantly boosts the clip’s quality.
3. Save Clip: Save the clip after applying the preset.

Step 4: Final Adjustments in CapCut

1. Open CapCut: Open CapCut and ensure your clip is ready for editing.
2. Adjust Settings: Go to the adjustment settings.
   • Auto Adjust (CapCat Pro Users): Set around 50. If you don’t have Pro, skip this step.
   • Brightness: Around 15.
   • Contrast: Around 15.
   • Saturation: Around 10-15.
   • Exposure: Increase slightly.
   • Sharpness: Set around 75.
   • These numbers are just starting points, so adjust as needed.
3. Add a Black Overlay: If the clip is too bright, add a black overlay and set the opacity to around 10-15 to darken it slightly.
4. Export Project: Finally, export your project in 4K quality.
