How To Remove the Background in CapCut

Sometimes, you need quick editing tools to make last-minute changes to your video. Enter CapCut – an app that can remove the background from all your projects. This makes it a convenient solution for customizing your projects for various social media platforms. However, you might have trouble locating this option and other features.

In this article, we’ll show you how to remove the background with CapCut.

Lose Your Video Background with Capcut

CapCut boasts extensive video editing features on your desktop or smartphone. To remove the background, follow these steps:

1. Launch the app and tap on the “New Project” option. CapCut will direct you to your gallery.
   
2. Select a new picture or video. This shouldn’t be the video you intend to edit but the unique background.
   
3. From the bottom of the interface, select “Overlay” and then tap on “Add Overlay.”
   
4. Once the video is uploaded, select “Remove Background” at the bottom of the interface.
   
5. Save your video and export it for later use.
   

CapCut has now established a new background for the video. You might want to use an empty background or a plain black or white background. This is also a great opportunity to add extra personality to your videos by playing with different background options and pictures.

How to Use CapCut for Social Media

CapCut might not be the most advanced video editing app out there. Still, it certainly is convenient for posting social media videos. That’s why it has many ready-made options to reduce the editing time. However, there are a few rules to follow for optimal results:

• Use the right aspect ratio for your videos. Video formatting is a pre-condition for high-quality videos on social media. A video with the wrong aspect ratio can stretch out content and lose visibility. Make sure to use the aspect ratio the platforms suggest. For example, Instagram recommends Reels to be in the 9:16 dimensions or standard portrait mode. CapCut supports multiple aspect ratios changes across the board.
• Adjust the basics. A washed-out, grainy, and darkened video can reduce reach and engagement. Play with the built-in brightness, saturation, and contrast controls on the CapCut app to make your videos more attractive to a broader audience.
• Make your videos better quality. CapCut allows you to scroll through an efficient video resolution slider to adjust the quality of your video. The feature is handy as most social media platforms only recommend uploading videos in 1080p.
• Go the extra mile on your projects. Additionally, CapCut will let you add music to your videos along with stickers, captions, and text and even change the video time. You don’t need to use every option available, but consider how these features will enhance your video quality.

How to Share Your CapCut Project With the World

Once you’re done removing the background and making the edits to your video, it’s time to share it on your desired social media platform. Sure, you can permanently save your project and do it manually. But CapCut has a time-saving way to do so.

Here’s how it’s done on an Android or iOS device:

1. After editing your project, tap on the export button in the right-hand corner of the screen. The icon is an arrow pointing upwards.
   
2. A small menu will appear on the interface. You can select from a range of social media platforms for sharing. Ensure you download the app on your device to view the result later.
   

The process is slightly different for the desktop version:

1. After editing your projects, move the cursor to the option that says “export,” next to the minimize window icon on your screen.
   
2. A menu will pop up. Make sure to input any necessary changes or specifications. Select “Export” again.
   
3. The new menu will give you a range of options to choose from. You can also add other social media accounts if your preference isn’t on the list.
   

What to Do if Your CapCut Video Won’t Export

CapCut might refuse to export or even save your video in certain instances. This can be frustrating if you’ve spent some time editing it only to receive an error message. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to solve this problem and start posting your projects.

Most of the time, this type of error is likely to result from insufficient memory on your device. Here are a few ways to counter it:

• Turn off any apps running in the background of your device. If your memory is nearly full, shutting down the additional apps will enable CapCut to export your video.
• Delete unnecessary junk files from your gallery and uninstall useless apps. Many apps and unimportant files can eat away at the valuable memory you need for your project. No need to exit the app; minimize it while removing the other files.

In other cases, the problem with CapCut might be as simple as a faulty internet connection. Without a strong connection, the app might have issues uploading to other platforms. Try and save your video in your gallery and post it manually once you properly restore your device’s connection.
