Don't use Opus Clips or other tools, including CapCut's own Short Form Converter as the quality will suffer.

I will show you how to use CapCut to get quick and high quality videos to use as short form from your long term.

You have no idea how much this has helped me. I’ve been afraid to create shorts— just felt so intimidating! I know that sounds really juvenile, but I seriously have had a fear of learning this! I’ll watch this again and follow along. I can’t thank you enough!

this is super useful! i plan on converting my longer covers to short form for YouTube Shorts and TikTok so this is perfect

[RimeBeatz]

I agree. I experimented with Opus Clip, and ended up with ten clips where I basically could only use two because part of the frame positions was slightly cut off. This method, which I also use, is way better because you keep the quality as well as the ability to create end and start points, in such a way where it seem like the clip continues when it's looped.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your directions on how to create shorts with CapCut worked out very well for me. I just created 16 shorts for my YouTube channel and you made it very easy to follow. Now that I just finished uploading them all to my channel I will now go see what else I can learn from you. Thank you very much!

this is very efficient way to edit a few short videos from a long form content with more control. Thank you for very useful practical tips, thank you!!

[MyFullandFulfilledLife]

This was great! Thank you so much. I picked up some other tips (highlighting and applying to all as well). And you got a new subscriber. Great content. Thanks so much.

[StephTalk_TV]

This works for me. I need to have control of the quality and content. Thanks! This helps.

[CHSBelle]

This is bloody brilliant! Wowzi! Thank you so so much!

[zinabhabbal]

This is very very very genius!! Thank you very much for creating this video

[linalarue]

This was so helpful! Thank you for explaining it this way! Makes total sense to do it right after editing the long form video

What you are saying is no recommending to use the ai convert to shorts feature as it is not accurate enough to trim the bit you would like it to be. Instead just trim it yourself into a few parts? But then you still have to redesign the content to sum up the details of a long video right? So you are still doing all the work to recreate it to a shorter version, why are you saying it like a trick? I don't get it ....

Another great video. Paused often to take notes. Thanks Imran, super helpful.

Thanks for the advice. Glad to see that the logic applies to Premiere as well. Cheers!

[SolaceSaga]

Really helpful video! I’m gonna start doing this with my videos. Thank you!

I definitely feel your frustration. I've gone through the same exact thing A. I doesn't always do it right if you take the time and do it yourself. It will come out perfect but also capcutt. Now has a way where you can only take pieces that you want and export those pieces without having to delete. Like you're annoying, which takes a little bit more time. But once you export it, then you can highlight it back and the whole thing comes back so it's just much better in the new feature that they have.But I get the concept.Great video.Thanks.Got a new subscriber

Thanks, man.

This was super helpful. Thanks so much!

[pokeflash]

very helpful, appreciate it my brother, I would shorten the introduction in the beginning, because usually when people are looking for help, they prefer you just show them, when you explain too much in the beginning, they may lose interest

[LouYorkLife]

Thanks for the honesty and realness regarding to the other tools, their cons and decrease in quality, especially when youtube "experts" are hyping them yet do not provide real best practices and drawbacks. I like your approach to teaching and speaking the truth, much needed and welcomed.

thanks for this video, this was super helpful! quick question - is auto caption not free in capcut? it says only 2 free credit, was wondering if I need to go Pro to access full feature for auto caption. Thank u!
