CapCut templates are pre-made video editing formats that come with built-in music, transitions, effects, and timing synced to audio or visual beats. These templates are created by CapCut users and editors, and you simply need to insert your own photos or videos to generate an instantly polished video.
Templates vary in style—some are synced to trending TikTok audio, while others follow cinematic or aesthetic themes. Whether you want to make a quick vlog recap, an aesthetic mood board, a birthday edit, or a viral meme, there’s a template for that.
Benefits of Using CapCut Templates
Using templates has a lot of advantages, especially if you want to create content fast but still look creative:
Beginner-Friendly: You don’t need to know editing at all. Just pick a template and insert your clips.
Music & Beat Syncing: Most templates are already synced to trending audio or sound effects.
Saves Time: No need to add transitions, effects, or time things manually.
Customizable: You can still tweak the video after using a template to add your own style.
Free to Use: Many templates are available for free with no watermark.
How to Use CapCut Templates: Step-by-Step
1. Find the Right Template
Start by browsing CapCut’s template library or search for a specific vibe—like “travel,” “birthday,” or “beat sync.” You can find templates directly in the CapCut app or through links shared on social media.
2. Click ‘Use Template’
Once you’ve found a template you like, click the “Use Template” button. If you’re on a website like this one, the button will automatically redirect you to the CapCut app with that template open.
3. Add Your Photos or Videos
CapCut will show you how many clips the template needs. For example, it might say “4 videos, 2 photos.” Simply select those from your phone’s gallery. Try to pick high-quality, well-lit clips for the best result.
4. Let CapCut Work Its Magic
Once you’ve selected your media, CapCut instantly applies the effects, music, and transitions based on the template. You’ll see a full preview of the final video.
5. Edit Further (Optional)
If you want to make changes—like trimming a clip, replacing the music, adding text, or adjusting filters—you can tap “Edit.” This gives you full access to CapCut’s manual editing tools.
6. Export and Share
When you’re satisfied with your video, tap the Export button in the top-right corner. CapCut will save the final video to your device. From there, you can upload it directly to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or any other platform.
