Create a template in CapCut: How to save presets

Creating a template with Capcut is initially only possible for personal use, as you can only upload it officially as a member of the Capcut Creator Program

Creating a template in CapCut – how to set it up in the editor

Using the CapCut app on your PC, you can create a template that you can then use for yourself. As there is unfortunately no real template function, you have to export the whole thing as a normal video.

• To create your template, you must first install the CapCut app for PC or Mac. You then have several video editing tools at your disposal with the app and can cut your videos and add effects, for example.

• Start a new project now to open the editor and implement your planned template. Use the import button in the top left-hand corner of the screen to add media formats in video, audio or image format, which you can then use for your template.

• Drag & drop the desired files into the media track at the bottom of the screen. Here you can add text, visual effects, transitions and stickers, among other things, to round off your template.

• Once you are happy with the template, you now need to export the video. To do this, click on the turquoise export button at the top right to open the menu. Here you now have the option of making a few more settings regarding the video quality, the frame rate and the video format itself. You can also give your template a name here:

• Once you have exported the video, it will appear on the homepage of the CapCut app. As there is unfortunately no official template function for your own use, you will have to take this detour and work with a regularly exported video, which you can convert into a template.

• The only possibility to upload a template in order to be able to use it afterwards is sometimes not accessible to German users. Only members of the “CapCut Creator Program” have this feature and since the Creator Program is only available in the USA and Great Britain for the time being, you will have to create and use your templates via the more cumbersome way for the time being.

Create and save presets in CapCut for texts

In addition to an entire template, you can also create presets for texts in CapCut, the video editing software. You can then insert these quickly and easily into other videos.

• To do this, click on the text button at the top left of CapCut, whereupon the menu item “Add text” or “Add text” opens. Click to open the option “Default” or “Standard”. Now drag & drop these into the media track to the desired position.

• You will now see various setting options on the right-hand side. After you have inserted the text into the text box on the right, adjusted its color, placed it in the correct position in the video and optionally added animations, click on “Save as preset” or “Save as preset” in the bottom right-hand corner of the editing field.

• You will then always find the preset under Add text. Under “Standard” or “Default” there is also the option “Presets”. If you now add the preset to another video, for example, it will retain all the settings that you have previously configured. This is particularly useful if you want to place your username on your videos without having to enter it manually each time.
