CapCut handoff
This page is for the person who will edit a short vertical video in CapCut after the builder leaves.
Handoff means you can open a project, trim a clip, set 9:16, and export without the builder sitting there.
Same stuck moment that turns into a support ticket. Short steps and a video so you do not have to ping the builder.

Steps
- Open CapCut on the phone or computer and sign in if it asks.
- Start a new project. Import the clips or photos you want to use.
- Set the ratio to 9:16 (vertical) before you spend time framing. That fits TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
- Drag clips onto the timeline. Trim the ends. Split and delete what you do not need.
- Add a short caption if you want text on screen. Keep it large and near the centre so it stays readable.
- Tap or click Export. Save the file, then upload it in TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube when you are ready.
Button names move a little between phone and desktop. Stay in the same places: new project, Import, Ratio 9:16, the timeline, and Export.
Write this down
- Which device has CapCut installed (phone or computer).
