How To Use CapCut Templates (Speed Up Your CapCut Video Editing!)

Introduction

Creating videos swiftly is essential, and using templates can significantly streamline your editing process. In this article, we’ll explore how to effectively use CapCut templates, whether you’re on an iPhone or Android. With templates, you just need to fill in the blanks—by choosing a pre-designed format and inserting your photos or video clips.

Finding Templates

There are two key ways to find templates in CapCut:

Within the CapCut App: When you open CapCut, you’ll see a templates icon at the bottom of the home screen. Clicking it allows you to browse through various templates across different categories and themes such as Christmas or birthdays. If you have a business, there are even templates specifically designed for product advertising or sales.
From TikTok: If you come across a video on TikTok that uses a CapCut template (you can identify these by the CapCut icon and template name at the bottom of the screen), you can use that template directly within CapCut.

Editing Templates in CapCut

Once you find a template you want to use, simply click on "Use Template." You’ll then be taken to the customization screen, which displays a series of blank tiles—these tiles prompt you to add your own photos or videos to make the template complete.

To save time, it's efficient to create a content creation album on your phone loaded with your favorite photos and videos. Selecting these assets from a dedicated album makes the editing process faster.

Customizing the Template

Each blank tile in the template shows how long a video or photo will appear. To customize:

Select a blank tile and choose your photo or video.
After selecting a video, you can crop it to pick the exact moment and adjust the volume as needed.
You can replace any clip if it doesn’t suit your needs.
Although some templates allow for additional audio to be added, others don’t. It's often best to stick with the original audio that comes with the template, as it’s designed to match the timing of your clips.
If you wish to modify any text on the video (like changing the title), tap the pencil icon to edit the text. You can reposition it, change its font, and customize it further.

Exporting Your Video

Once satisfied with your edits, it’s time to export. For the best quality, select the highest resolution—usually 1080p. Be cautious about watermarks; CapCut gives an option to save your video without branding, which is advisable for posting on social media platforms. When saved without a watermark, your video gets downloaded to your phone, and you’ll be directed to TikTok for easy posting.

If you're not ready to post immediately, you can save it to your drafts.

Conclusion

Using templates in CapCut can save you a considerable amount of time while creating engaging content. From simple customizations to editing audio and text, the app provides ample options for creativity. The free version of CapCut contains numerous tools that make it perfect for anyone looking to create professional-looking videos quickly.
