CapCut’s keyframe + masking combo = pro-level motion effects on a mobile phone.
What’s the Trick?
By combining keyframe animation with masking tools, you can:
- Create seamless clone or teleportation effects
- Animate transitions that mimic professional motion graphics
- Reveal or hide parts of clips in visually stunning ways
This technique is widely used in apps like Adobe After Effects—but CapCut lets you do it without complex software or a computer.
How to Try It:
- Layer two video clips (e.g., same scene with and without the subject).
- Apply a mask (e.g., linear or radial) to one clip.
- Use keyframes to animate the mask's position or size across the timeline.
- Refine the edges for a seamless effect.
Boom—now you’re editing like a pro, all from your phone.
Why It Matters:
Most users stick to surface-level edits. But mastering this trick:
- Sets your content apart
- Unlocks storytelling creativity
- Mimics expensive, desktop-level edits—without the cost
Bonus Tip:
Pair this trick with CapCut’s AI background remover to create even more dramatic edits—like walking into another dimension, object reveals, or dynamic cutouts.
CapCut’s smartest features aren’t always the most obvious—**but once you find them, your editing game levels up fast.
