CapCut’s user-friendly interface makes it a suitable choice for most creators.

This article guides you on how to add flash on CapCut for the best outcomes.

Add White Flash on CapCut

Consider adding flash when a dramatic transition is needed within a video. The CapCut flash effect is the best way to achieve a stunning outcome. Adding flash is relatively simple, as you’ll discover. This guide is mainly for the mobile interface, but the process is pretty much the same for the PC version.

1. On your mobile device, open the CapCut app. You’ll have to install it if you don’t have it already.
   
2. Select “New Project” to initiate the process. You’ll be directed to the phone gallery.
   
3. Choose the two videos you want to work with, then select “Add.” This imports them into your workspace.
   
   • Alternatively, split one video into two if you intend to use only one.
4. Tap the transition between your two videos to reveal the available transition tools.
   
5. Look for the “White Flash” transition under the “Overlay” option and select it.
   
   • Some CapCut versions have the white flash option under the Basic tab.

Selecting the white flash option adds a smooth white flash transition between the selected videos or split video. Under this method, adding the “Flashes” transition found in the “Lights” category allows a more artistic touch. The transition duration can be adjusted to make it even smoother. You can edit the videos at any phase by simply adjusting the effect.

After splitting a single video, you can successfully add a flash effect. Once the transition is applied, the icon in between the videos changes. You will be directed to the chosen effect if you click this new icon.

Once the flash has been added to your CapCut video, re-watch it to confirm that it’s the effect you wanted. You can then import the video by tapping the download button on the screen’s upper right corner.

Add Flash by Making a White Flash Template First on CapCut

The white flash effect is especially helpful when working on dark-toned videos to get a brighter and more appealing effect. Adding a template makes it more accessible.

1. Go to Google, find a plain white picture, and download it.
   
2. Open the CapCut app on your device or download it and then open it.
   
3. Tap the “New Project” to redirect to the device gallery.
   
4. Choose a video from the gallery to show it on the timeline.
   
5. Navigate the “Overlay” option under workspace and select it.
   
6. Choose the white image downloaded from Google and hit the “Add” option.
   
7. Maximize the white photo by tapping on it to cover the screen.
   
8. Go to the “Splice” option by scrolling to the editing tools bottom menu and selecting it. In some options, it is named “Blend.” It’s now possible to adjust the video’s flash effect and pick the level of brightness you want on it.
   

A bright outlook will be visible in the area where the white photo is placed. To extend the flash effect to the entire video, drag the handlebar. The video can be edited at any phase. Re-watch the video for final confirmation.

Once the white flash effect has been applied in the video, it is brightened. The video can be downloaded by clicking in the upper right corner. This saves it in the device gallery and completes the white flash template video. You can now share the creation at this point.

Add Black Flash in CapCut as a Flickering Effect, Overlay, or Transition

Black flash is an effect used in video editing to help transition between different video clips or create flickering effects on the video. The black flash effect has also become a trend on the Tik Tok app and is now used widely by content creators.

There are various video editing applications available on iPhone and Android that can utilize the black flash effect. CapCut is one of the best applications for this. The CapCut app creates a black flash effect using different ideas and techniques.

Using Black Flash as a Transition in CapCut

Just like a white flash, a black flash can be used as a transition in between video clips.

3. At the clip intersection, hit the CapCut transition menu.
   
4. Go to the “Basic Category” and select the black flash effect. It’s listed as “Black Fade.”

5. Choose the “Overlay” effect and tap.
