How to Use Motion Tracking in CapCut

If you want to make dynamic and engaging videos, you might want to use motion tracking. This is a technique where the camera follows an object on the move.

Fortunately, top video-editing app CapCut utilizes this great feature. This article will explain how to use motion tracking in CapCut.

How to Use Motion Tracking in CapCut

As mentioned, motion tracking refers to a technique which makes the camera follow an object on the move. Only a few video-editing apps have this feature, including CapCut.

These are the steps to adding motion tracking to your video in CapCut:

1. Open CapCut, then tap on “New project.”
   
2. Add your video from the gallery.
   
3. Open “Text” from the menu at the bottom.
   
4. Type just a “.” And make it a bright color.
   
5. Increase the size of the dot. Also, make sure the dot is centered.
   
6. Match the duration of the text (in this case, dot) to the duration of the entire video.
   
7. Add a “Key Frame” at the begging of the video.
   
8. Center the dot on an object you want to be tracked in the video.
   Do this step for the entire duration of the video.
   
9. Delete the text (dot).
   
10. Increase the video speed by just a little bit (1.2 for example).
    Now enjoy the result!
    

As you’ve seen, this is a quick way to make your videos dynamic. It also comes in handy when you physically weren’t able to follow the object around while filming.

How to Add Music in CapCut Using Your Android Device

What would make your fast-moving videos even more attention-locking? Adding some beat to go with the moves!
