CapCut Tutorial for Mac and PC 2024 - Best Free Video Editor

CapCut is a free video editor that really simplifies the video editing process.
And in my 15 years of editing experience, this might be the best, beginner friendly tool for creating social media and CZcams videos.
You can use it online, on Windows PC, Mac and they have mobile apps too.
With Capcut, you can easily create social media videos for TikTok and CZcams, marketing videos, personal videos. Pretty much any style of video you want.
And they recently added ton of new AI tools to make editing faster and easier.
So in this video, I’ll walk you through the entire editing process, step by step.
Before we get started, download Capcut to your computer. That is the best version of the app and far more useful than the mobile app and the online app.
There is a paid version of Capcut called Capcut pro that gives you more options, but for this video, we will only use the free version.
You still can sign in to get access to more free options on the login page.
Step 1: Create a new project and name your project
Step 2: import Media
Step 3: change aspect ratio
Step 4: basic editing
Step 5: adding b-roll
Step 6: adding music
Step 7: mixing audio
Step 8: add text and captions
Step 9: add effects and transitions

This is BY FAR the best video I've seen walking through the steps needed to use CapCut. Thank you for putting in the time and making this so user friendly for newbies!

Dude. Love your videos. Thank you for the tutorials. I am an instructional designer and communications professor. And I need tutorials like this so that I can master this program. Having gone from camtasia to davinci to now catcut I am a little overwhelmed. I just can't believe how much you can do with CapCut. This is crazy! Again thank you for your videos.

[@mobilebrakesexpert]

I've learned more from you than from other videos. Thank you

[@vcas404]

Hey. Can I import videos-photos on my Mac from photos app?

[@Crochetpraylove]

You mentioned vertical and then clicked on horizontal? Am I missing something 🧐 I want to edit videos for CZcams, what is the best way to shoot using my iPhone? Vertical or horizontal?

[@carolynbest2115]

I have a video training that is about 90 minutes...can I use Capcut with Powerpoint?

[@defaultname9281]

Can you import Powerpoint slides into Capcut?

[@jennyb1650]

I am using the Mac app and I do not have the template button. Does anyone know if they've moved where button is since this tutorial was made?

[@MrGheller]

How much is the Capcut course?

[@I_Mackenzie]

No media tab or library tab for Mac vesion? Is that a Pro feature?

[@hunterelement]

Yeah my capcut home page (Project Time line) does NOT look like his. Also, no wave form audio lines under my video clips...what did I miss in this video??

[@teddyw.charawa8989]

I cannot see the Media in the top left corner of my editor.

[@bentb.olesen9022]

I can't see the template on my free CapCut on my PC. Why?

[@mischform_ch]

Strange thing is, I do not have the "JOIN PRO" button option when I am logged in with the latest release...

[@martincole]

Yes same here, did you solve the mystery
