Features of Capcut:
I. EDIT - to make changes to a text or film, deciding what will be
removed and what will be kept in, in order to prepare it for being
printed or shown.
a. SPLIT - to separate, cut, or divide into two or more parts; cause
to separate along the grain or length; break into layers.
b. SPEED - the rate of change of position of an object in any
direction. Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time
in which the distance was covered.
c. ANIMATION - the rapid display of sequences of static imagery in
such a way as to create the illusion of movement.
d. STYLE - the creative decisions you make while putting together
your film; they include the type of cuts you utilize, such as
simple cuts, jump cuts, or dissolves, as well as the overall tempo
of the movie. In contrast, editing methods are concerned with
the technical aspects of video editing.
e. ENHANCE VOICE - This involves removing background noise,
adjusting volume levels and equalizing the audio to make it
sound balanced. Dialogue enhancement: Sound editing allows
you to improve the quality of spoken words in your video.
f. VOCAL ISOLATION - a production technique where a voice that is
not part of the narrative is used in a radio, television production,
filmmaking, theatre, or other presentations. This voice can be
pre-recorded or performed live, depending on the specific
requirements of the production.
g. CAMERA TRACKING - the process of analyzing live-action footage
to determine the movement and position of the camera within a
scene, allowing for the seamless integration of 3D elements into
that footage.
h. AUTO REFRAME - intelligently identifies the actions in your video
and reframes the clips for different aspect ratios while keeping
the most important part of the action in the frame. Auto Reframe
works best when there is a mismatch between project and media
settings, i.e., when black bars are visible on the monitor.
i. CUT-OUT - is a video editing technique that involves removing a
portion of a video clip and replacing it with another clip or image.
This technique is commonly used to remove unwanted elements
from a video, such as a person or object that is obstructing the
view or distracting from the main subject.
II. OVERLAY - refers to a technique where multiple video clips or
images are layered over one another to create a single video. This
technique is often used to add special effects, text, or other
graphics to a video.
III. EFFECTS - transformations and filters that visually enhance your
footage. They could be as simple as a “hard cut”, which means
transitioning from one scene or location to another.
a. VIDEO EFFECTS - refer to the various techniques used to improve
the visual quality and impact of a video. Some common video
effects and enhancements include: Color correction and grading:
Adjusting the overall color balance, saturation, and contrast of
the video to create a desired look or mood.
b. BODY EFFECTS – idk
c. PHOTO EFFECTS - the process of making alterations to a photo.
These changes can be any number of alterations to color, light,
and/or tone. These edits also may involve making changes to the
mass of different elements in an image, such as composition and
focus.
d. AI EFFECTS - transcends the traditional, manual manipulations of
footage, offering tools that can learn, adapt, and even make
creative decisions. Utilizing sophisticated algorithms and
machine learning, AI can automate repetitive tasks, suggest
edits, and significantly reduce the time spent on post-production.
IV. RATIO - The video aspect ratio indicates the orientation of a video
by providing the ratio of width to height as measured in pixels. The
numbers that appear in the ratio are not necessarily representative
of the height and width in terms of pixels (px). It is just the ratio
between width and height.
V. FILTER - are used to adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, and
hue of the video footage. They can also be used to add special
effects such as blur, sharpen, and distortion. Filters are an essential
tool in video editing as they help to create a specific mood or tone
for the video.
VI. ADJUST - similar to ‘Sharpness’ slightly enhances the brightness of
the bright areas and the dimness of dark areas in an image.
a. PHOTO ADJUST - Adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, and
other properties of the photos and videos in your designs. You
can also isolate photo adjustments to the background or
foreground and color edit an object in your image. Talks about
enhancement and adjustment of a photo
b. COLOR MATCH - the process of ensuring that colors in a visual
production are consistent and accurate across various elements,
including different scenes, lighting conditions, and devices.
