Since CapCut offers a lot of effects in its library, it can be very tempting to use almost every transition effect you get. Sometimes keeping it simple is the best choice. For you to make the best professional videos, stick to a few transitional effects. When the video has too many effects, it can become overwhelming.

Remain consistent with the chosen effects and polish the video for the final look. Also, using a few transitions will help you understand how to best manipulate the different effects available. However, keep in mind that simple does not mean basic. You can still make your videos eccentric without using all the transitional effects available on the app.

Use the Right Transition

There is no one way of editing a video; you can get creative and adjust the speed or change the direction of the transition. For example, if you are working on a dramatic or romantic video, you can adjust the speed too slow-motion to make the scene more dramatic and captivating. A faster speed can be effective in an action film or a video with very high energy. 

How to Add a Transition Using CapCut

Adding transitions to your videos using CapCut involves simple steps. First, ensure you have the app on your device, either mobile or desktop. Then, follow the following steps.

• Open the app and on the home screen, tap “New Project.”
• Choose the video you want to add the transition effect on and click next. 
• You will see a white vertical line. Slide it to where you want to add the transition to the video and press on edit.
• You will then have to split the video into two, where the transition will be added. So tap split. If you are dealing with multiple clips, then you will not use the split command. Simply choose the clips you want to transition between and place them in the order in which they should appear.
• Between the two videos, you will see a transition icon. Tap on the icon, it will open a library of transition effects. 
• Choose the transition you would like to add. You can also preview each transition effect before selecting.

• Don’t forget to preview the video to ensure it is exactly how you wanted it. If there is anything you would wish to change or add, then do so before tapping on the check mark.
• Your video is now ready to be posted to your audience.

Furthermore, you can also utilize the video background remover ability of the app to remove any unwanted things from the background of your video.
