CapCut Tutorial for Beginners Class 09: How we can do Masking in CapCut | English

Hello everyone, welcome to Class 9.

In today's class, we will learn how to use the CapCut Masking Tool.

Step 1: Import Videos

1. Import the videos you want to work with.
2. For example, we have a football video where a person falls from above to below.
3. Remove any watermark by tapping on it and deleting it.

Step 2: Overlay the Video

1. Select the second video that you want to appear in the center.
2. Tap Overlay to convert it into a video layer.
3. Hold and drag the layer to the left side of the timeline.
4. The previous video is now behind this layer.

Step 3: Apply the Masking Tool

1. Tap on the video layer → scroll to the end → select Mask.
2. You’ll see many masking templates. For example, the Mirror template.
3. Use the lock bar to adjust the mask:
4. Move it up or down
5. Rotate manually if needed

Step 4: Adjust the Mask

• To focus on a specific part of the video:
• Use the circle tool to select the area you want visible.
• There are two rows of tools:
• Arrow row: crop vertically
• Extend row: extend horizontally
• Use the Transform tool to smooth out the motion.

Step 5: Use the Tag Template (Optional)

1. For automatic masking, use the Tag template.
2. Options available:
3. X-axis → move video horizontally
4. Y-axis → move video vertically
5. Size X/Y → extend vertically or horizontally
6. Rotation → increase = clockwise, decrease = counterclockwise

• Adjust the feather of the layer to smooth edges.
• Round the corners if needed for a cleaner look.

Step 6: Review the Result

• Play the video to see the masking effect in action.
• Two videos can play together seamlessly, with the overlay video showing transparency as needed.
