How to Make a Gif in Capcut?

The first step in the process of making a Gif is to find the video or images you want to turn into a Gif.

You can use any video or image file on your phone that is less than 10 MB. Next, you’ll want to open the video and select the frames you want to use.

Depending on how long you want your Gif to be, you’ll want to select anywhere from 3-15 frames. The next step is to change the resolution and rotate the picture if necessary.

Depending on the dimensions of the video you select, you may want to rotate the picture or change the resolution to make it look better once it’s turned into a Gif.

You’ll want to save your new Gif as an MP4 file. It’s important that you select MP4 from the “Save as type” drop-down menu in order to save your Gif correctly. Here is a complete tutorial to help you create the GIF.

• First, open the CapCut app.
• Tap on New Project, then select your primary video clip and press Add.
• If you have multiple primary video clips, you can select multiple. But don’t upload any B-roll footage just yet – we’ll be adding that later.

CapCut will automatically set the project format to the type of footage you uploaded. So if your primary footage is a widescreen video, CapCut will set your project type to a widescreen project. 

If you want to change the project type, you can do this by going to Format in the bottom menu. You’ll see a range of options to choose from. Maybe you’re making a portrait video for TikTok, a square video for Instagram, or a widescreen video for YouTube. We’ll be using the 16:9 widescreen option to create a YouTube video. 

One really cool feature is that you can come back later and save different versions of your video in different formats. This is awesome for repurposing your content. Now let’s get familiar with the CapCut interface before we start diving into the editing side of things. 

In the top right corner is the 1080p button. This is where you can adjust the resolution and frame rate. The project defaults to 1080p and 30 frames per second. It’s a good idea to go with the defaults unless you have some specific requirements for your video. 

The other main aspects of the CapCut interface you’ll need to know are: 

• The Export button in the top right corner is how you save and export the project
• The playback window in the middle is where you preview your video
• The undo, redo and maximize buttons are below the playback window
• The editing timeline is where you add all of your footage and clips
• All of the settings (audio, text, effects, etc.) are located in the bottom menu bar

How to make a GIF?

• The first step in the process of making a Gif is to find the video or images you want to turn into a Gif. You can use any video or image file on your phone that is less than 10 MB.

If you want to use a video, you can record a new video or select a video from your camera roll. You can also select images from your camera roll. Keep in mind that you’ll want to select 3-15 images or frames for your Gif.

If you select too few frames, your Gif will be too long and boring. If you select too many frames, it will be too short and not as effective.

• Next, you’ll want to open the video and select the frames you want to use. Depending on how long you want your Gif to be, you’ll want to select anywhere from 3-15 frames. This will also determine the overall length of your Gif. You can do this by selecting “Trim” from the menu. You’ll then be able to select the beginning and end frames of your Gif.

• The next step is to change the resolution and rotate the picture if necessary. Depending on the dimensions of the video you select, you may want to rotate the picture or change the resolution to make it look better once it’s turned into a Gif. To do this, select “Resize and Rotate” from the menu. You can then change the resolution and rotate the image to your liking.

• The next step is to save your new Gif. You can do this by selecting “Save” from the menu. This will open the “Save As” menu where you can name your Gif and select the “MP4” format. This will save your Gif as an MP4 file that you can easily share on social media. And that’s it! You’ve just created your first Gif. Now, it’s time to share your creation with the world.
