How to remove 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 may have trouble locating this option and other features.

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

Lose the background of your video with Capcut

CapCut has 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 image or video. This should not be the video you want to edit, but rather the unique background.
   
3. From the bottom of the interface, select “Overlay” and then tap “Add Overlay”.
   
4. Once the video is loaded, select “Remove Background” at the bottom of the interface.
   
5. Save your video and export it for later use.
   

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

How to use CapCut for social media

CapCut may not be the most advanced video editing app out there. Still, it’s certainly convenient for posting videos on social media. That’s why you have many ready-to-use options to reduce editing time. However, there are some rules to follow to obtain optimal results:

• Use the appropriate aspect ratio for your videos. The video format is a precondition for high-quality videos on social networks. A video with the wrong aspect ratio can stretch the content and lose visibility. Make sure you use the aspect ratio that the platforms suggest. For example, Instagram recommends that reels be in 9:16 dimensions or in standard portrait mode. CapCut supports multiple aspect ratio changes across the board.
• Adjust the basics. Faded, grainy, and dark video can reduce reach and engagement. Play with the CapCut app’s built-in brightness, saturation, and contrast controls to make your videos more appealing to a broader audience.
• Improve the quality of your videos. CapCut allows you to scroll through an efficient video resolution slider to adjust the quality of your video. The feature is useful since most social media platforms only recommend uploading videos in 1080p.
• Go the extra mile on your projects. Additionally, CapCut will allow you to add music to your videos along with stickers, subtitles and text and even change the length of the video. You don’t need to use every option available, but consider how these features will improve the quality of your video.

How to share your CapCut project with the world

Once you’re done removing the background and making 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 way to do it that will save you time.

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

1. After editing your project, tap the export button in the right corner of the screen. The icon is an arrow pointing up.
   
2. A small menu will appear on the interface. You can select from a variety of social media platforms to share. Make sure to download the app on your device to see the result later.
   

The process is slightly different for the desktop version:

1. After editing your projects, move your cursor to the option that says “export,” next to the minimize window icon on your screen.
   
2. A menu will appear. Be sure to enter any necessary changes or specifications. Select “Export” again.
   
3. The new menu will give you a variety of options to choose from. You can also add other social media accounts if your preference is not listed.
   

What to do if your CapCut video doesn’t export

CapCut may refuse to export or even save your video in certain cases. This can be frustrating if you’ve spent some time editing it and get an error message. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to fix this problem and start publishing your projects.

Most of the time, this type of error is likely due to insufficient memory on your device. Here are some ways to counter it:

• Turn off any apps running in the background on your device. If your memory is almost full, closing additional applications will allow CapCut to export your video.
• Delete unnecessary junk files from your gallery and uninstall useless apps. Many unimportant applications and files can consume the valuable memory you need for your project. No need to exit the app; minimize it while deleting the other files.

In other cases, the problem with CapCut may be as simple as a faulty Internet connection. Without a strong connection, the app might have trouble loading on other platforms. Try saving your video to your gallery and publish it manually once you successfully reestablish your device connection.
