If you use the popular video editing app CapCut, you may need help mastering its splitting tool. Created especially with the TikTok audience in mind, it is ideal for anyone venturing into the world of video editing.
But it won’t do you any good if you don’t learn how to use it. In this article, we’ll show you how to perform and delete a split, on both Android and iOS devices.
The process of cutting a segment of a video and removing the split is quite simple:
- Tap the blue “New Project” button at the top center of the screen.
- Choose a video you want to edit and tap the small circle in the right corner to mark it, then tap the “Add” button in the lower right corner.
- Press and hold on the timeline, in the bottom half of the screen, and drag it to the left to find the point where you want to split your video. (Alternatively, you can press play above the timeline and let it get to the same point on its own.)
- When you find the scene, leave the white marker line on it and then tap the “Split” button in the bottom left corner.
- If you accidentally make a cut at the wrong point or press the split button somewhere else, simply tap the “Undo” button to the right of the “Play” button.
- Tap the play button again or drag the timeline to the left to find the end point of the split.
- Once you find the end point, tap “Split” again and the cut segment will be marked with two squares on the timeline.
- If you want to delete the part you pided from the rest, tap it and then tap the “Delete” option below.
- If you want to keep the split, select the previous part and tap “Delete.” Next, select the part below and tap “Delete” again. and then
- Save the video you made by tapping “Export” in the upper right corner.
Once you try to export your video, you’ll notice that there is an option to post it directly to TikTok, as CapCut was created by TikTok’s parent company. This can be useful if you want to recreate some of the popular trends on TikTok.
