How to do the walk-in edit on CapCut

After mastering the incredible 'walk-in text' effect in CapCut, I realized just how powerful its text features truly are! If you're looking to elevate your videos even further, there's so much more you can do with text. I want to share some of my favorite tips for adding and animating text, making sure your messages always stand out. First, let's cover the basics of simply adding text. It's super straightforward! Once you're in your project, tap 'Text' from the bottom menu, then 'Add text'. You can type out your message and immediately see it appear on your video or even a still image. Don't worry if it doesn't look perfect yet – that's where the customization comes in! I always start by choosing a font that matches my video's vibe. CapCut has tons of options under 'Fonts' (like Poppins, THINKER-RG, etc.), so take your time browsing. Then, you can easily adjust the 'Size' by pinching or dragging the text box, and change its 'Color' to make it pop against your background. I often use the 'Shadow' and 'Glow' options to give my text a little extra depth, which really helps with readability, especially on busy backgrounds. Now, beyond just the 'walk-in' animation, CapCut offers a whole world of text animations. Once your text layer is selected, tap 'Animation'. You'll find categories like 'In', 'Out', and 'Loop'. For a professional look, I love using subtle 'In' animations like 'Typewriter' or 'Fade In' to introduce my text smoothly. 'Out' animations are great for making text disappear gracefully. And 'Loop' animations, like 'Wiggle' or 'Bounce', can keep your text engaging throughout a longer segment. You can even adjust the speed of these animations to perfectly match your video's pace. For those moments when you want text to follow a really specific path or interact with objects in a unique way, 'Keyframes' are your best friend. This is a slightly more advanced technique, but totally worth learning! Essentially, you set points in time where your text should be at a certain position, size, or rotation, and CapCut automatically creates the smooth movement in between. I've used keyframes to make text fly across the screen, zoom in on a detail, or even create a custom 'mimic motion' effect that isn't pre-set. It gives you incredible creative control, letting your imagination run wild! And don't forget about other smart text features! I've found CapCut's 'Auto captions' a lifesaver for making my videos more accessible and engaging. Just tap 'Text' then 'Auto captions', and CapCut transcribes your audio into text automatically. You can then edit these captions to perfection. There's also 'Text to audio', which can be really fun for narrating your text if you don't want to use your own voice. Experiment with these tools – they can seriously transform your content! Playing around with all these text features has completely changed my CapCut editing game. From simple overlays to complex animated sequences, the possibilities are endless. So dive in, try out different fonts, colors, animations, and keyframe movements. You'll be amazed at how much personality and professionalism you can add to your videos with just a few taps!
