I have teached a ton of videos here in this Channel about Final Cut Pro how you can do
plenty of effects in Final Cut Pro and how you can use it for video editing when I want to
edit something on the go and usually vertical content the sword form coding for Instagram
reels for Tik Tok or for YouTube search the app that I use is capcut recently I found out
that CapCut has also a desktop version a desktop version which is free and it's available for mac
and windows and what if I told you that after I used it for some weeks I can tell you for
sure that for someone who is just starting out in video editing someone who wants to
create vertical content short form content or even more advanced things on their videos
It's all they could ask for FREE Watch an example
let's go now into CapCut we're gonna start from the beginning I'm gonna show you a lot
of different features it's gonna be a long video so uh have your notes and if you have
any questions I'm waiting you as you watch the video in the comment section down below let's
go you open the capcat and you click on a new project now here we can import the videos that
we're gonna use by simply click on import or by drying them from the window so I have here
the videos that I'm gonna use and the music the music by the way is from art list great source
for music you will find links in the description of this video down below the first thing that you
need to do is to modify the settings of your video so you click here on modify and as you
can see here are the settings you can select the ratio from original of the videos to six
into nine four to three to thirty five to one two to one 185 to 1 and also the vertical ones then
you can have the resolution the adapted adapts into the video so you can use the customized if
you want to be more precise and on customize for a 4K we will select three eight four zero
and two one six zero frame rate I'm gonna Stick it to 25 frames per second here in Europe we have pal
if you're in America's NTSC 24 frames per second then you can select the color space if you want
to have HDR or HDR rec709 and you click save for those of you who have used in the past the program
to edit your videos the timeline basically uh it's the same timeline that we see in apps like Final
Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve it reminds a lot of the magnetic timeline for this example we're gonna
drag some footages here from here as you can see I can zoom in and zoom out now let me bring the
audio the music as well one very cool feature that capcat has is the auto bit so you go here
to Auto bit and you can select bit one and it automatically recognizes the Beats of
the music that you have played so you know exactly where you want to cut the footages
and you have the option for beat 1 or B2 the B2 basically is more beats more cuts that you can
do in your video now we're gonna Zoom again and we will see that let's start it here and
place it at the beginning and now as you can see if I place my footage where the cuts are
automatically it recognizes the beat and it basically it autocads for you and check this out
you saw here that the footage had a little bit of black at the top and at the bottom
so you go here you just drag this and as soon as you drag it a little bit too down and right
it automatically goes to the edges so you don't have to manually adjust everything or press any
shift or anything like that let me drag this here now to show you something else another
cool feature that the Kafka desktop version also the mobile version but the desktop version has
is the ability to have amazing speed drums and let me show you exactly what I mean so
you select this clip you go here to speed and you click on curve you can either select any
pre-made let's say you want to have a bullet for example and you will see that it automatically
does the bullet speedramp for you or you can click on customize and you
can select exactly the portions that you want to have so let's say that from here
to that point here you want it to be extreme fast right so you go here
and also if you click where you want it let's say here you can add one more point
to make it fast and here on the beat let's say that you want to add another key point you can
either select all of them at once if you click on the middle or you can select each one if you
want because maybe you want to do something like that let's continue with the example so you select
this you go again fast for all of this section and then you drag this and you make them slow
with this selection you can do up to 10 times fast and 10 times slow as you can see we're
creating some speed drums here now if you see any toppiness what you can do is that you can click on
smooth slow mo and what are we going to use from this either frame blading or Optical flow usually
what we do is use the optical flow something that also I have shown you in the past for Final Cut
Pro optical flow is the best option when you want to have the smoothest slow motion if we go now
into the interface to show you a little bit of cap Cuts you will see that on the audio section you
have the option to use custom music as well but also you can sign in into your tiktok account and
you can select music directly from Tick Tock which means that especially for vertical content editing
the vertical content that you can post in Tick Tock or Instagram reels you can have all these
trendy music for your videos also you can import a video let's say you download a video from Tick
Tock you want to have this exact audio you place it here the video and it extracts the audio that
you can use for your video another cool feature is that you have a variety of sound effects
that you can use for your video basically the video that you saw at the beginning
it was edited in capcat with all the music and sound effects that they are available
inside and something that a lot of content creators use in their everyday process of
creating videos is the auto caption the auto caption is basically when you have a video and
the speeds is becoming text visualized to you we've seen that a lot in Tick Tock in Instagram
in YouTube sort in all the sort form content and basically capcat takes any video and you
can select here the auto captions it recognizes the speeds and create captions for you let's see
an example because this is something that you're gonna use a lot if you download cop
cut again it's free and when you create short form content then numbers the statistics all
the analysis so that when you have text as well a lot of people don't watch videos with
the sound on so you can show the message that you have on your videos so you click on create
okay so I have this text for you to check we're clicking on create if your English is better
than mine the caption is going to be better now if there is any mistake you can go here
and you can correct it now you can select from here the font that you want to use
you can change the color and you can select any of the preset styles that
it has so you can have white background or yellow with black or this one here
you can change the scale if you want you can add a stroke or a background you can choose to
create a glow Shadow Etc you can also download different effects and Bubbles as well for your
speech to text and of course if you want it to be more word by word you can come here split it by
clicking here and this is you keep only with these parts and here again we split it we'll select here
disable it and let's check this out this is a test video to show the auto captions from capcat
you can select different animations for your text as you Mouse over you will see
all the available animations for in for example you can download the mini Zoom
you can have different animations for each of the text that you're gonna use
or you can simply select all of them go to animation and select one so all of the texts
are gonna have the same so individually or all of them and then you can also use motion
tracking so you can motion track a specific element if you want to have the captions
motion tracked as well on your video now you can place stickers you can have different
effects and the effects that capcat has right now available I'm telling you I have created the tone
of tutorials in Final Cut Pro to create a lot of these different effects and now we have them all
available with just one click I'm not gonna go into each one of them I'm gonna scroll them just
for you to check them out I'm telling you there are a lot of effects so and if you click in one
effect it's gonna show you exactly how it's gonna look for example you're gonna drag this
you can place it here on the footage and you will see it's very easy and very fast to do you also
have different transitions as all of the video editing programs and I can tell you that there are
very creative so we can check for example this dissolve and
we have a transition right away again I'm gonna scroll a little bit so you can check all the
different transitions that it has and then we go to filters just like all the applications
especially on the mobile that you need to be fast and easy to control all the edits you have all
the effects available on a desktop version of a video editing app and on the adjustment you can
have custom adjustments the adjustment layers for example or you can use lat to color grade capcat
also gives you the option to color correct your footage and you can go to the adjustment here and
you have all the options with lots or adjustments to temperature Hue saturation as you can see here
brightness contrast highlights sharpen with effects on the hsl to change the Hue of specific
colors the saturation and the brightness and of course the Beloved to all the video editors
photographers and people who like to color grade the fluids keros you also have the option to have
different animations on the footage for example let's see this sake again you click on that and
you my solver and you see how it's gonna look and again as you saw before with the captions you have
the option for motion track as well another cool feature is that you can stabilize your
shaky footage and as you can see the processing is not very slow it's getting on a decent amount of
time for you to stabilize the shot and something less that I want to mention here is that it also
has motion blur and the good thing is that you can either drag the effect to place it on the
actual footage or you can drag the effect and if you place it above it comes as an adjustment layer
that means that if you want to have a motion blur that you can change of course the horizontal the
strength everything on the spec on the settings like an inspector panel here on the right you
can add the motion blur just on the transitions or where you have a speed drum that you won't have a
motion blur as well a very common Trend that we've seen especially in car stories and car sort from
content online when you finish with your edit when you finish with your video you go on the top right
and you click on export to export the video from there you can select the resolution the bitrate
that you can see clicked from lower recommended higher or customized I'd say higher because we
like the high stuff the codec the format of the video if you want to be mov or MP4 the frame
rate and you click on export after of course you select the name and the location of the export
you click export and the export begins but also since cop Cuts is very connected with Tick Tock
you can sign into Tick Tock and you can post right away from cop cut on the desktop version
