Step 1: Open CapCut App
We will be editing this video using the CapCut app. Before opening CapCut, make sure your phone is connected to a VPN. You can download any VPN from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
After connecting the VPN, open CapCut, click on New Project, and import your video. Trim out the extra parts, then go to the end of the timeline.
Step 2: Freeze and Duplicate
At the end, you will see a tool called Freeze. Tap it to freeze a frame. Then, duplicate the frozen frame and move it to the overlay section. Place it below your main video layer.
Step 3: Remove Background & Apply Filter
Click on the overlay layer and remove its background. Then go to Adjust → Filter and search for the Red Filter. Apply it to give a creative look.
Step 4: Add Overlay Images
I have shared some pictures in the video description—download them and add as overlays. Rotate and adjust them full screen, then overlay them under your main video. Add a black border image by rotating it 90° and placing it across the video. Duplicate and adjust to fit properly.
Step 5: Layering and Keyframes
Bring the background-removed layer to the top. Apply keyframes to the black border layers and adjust their position (scrolling up and down). Also, apply a zoom keyframe to the image layer. This will create a smooth animation effect.
Step 6: Add Text and Animation
Go to the Text option, add your name, and choose a suitable font. If it’s not available, search for it in the font search bar. Apply effects and set animation style to “Open” with speed 1.0. Place the text layer below the main video.
Step 7: Transitions & Effects
For transitions, go to Glitch → Blocks and apply it. Then, add the Shake Effect from the Video Effects section. Adjust the length to match your video.
Step 8: Final Adjustments
Adjust the color grading of your video as per your preference. Lastly, add background music. The music link is given in the description. Download it, extract the sound, and replace the original audio.
Final Result
And that’s it! Your creative CapCut video is now complete. Making this edit was actually very simple. If you still have any doubts, feel free to DM me on Instagram (link is in the video description).
