Full transcript

1. 0:00CapCut has just announced its biggest
2. 0:02update yet, and it's going to completely
3. 0:04change the way videos are made forever.
4. 0:06Now, CapCut is no longer just trying to
5. 0:09be the place where you edit your videos,
6. 0:11it's now expanded to an all-in-one
7. 0:13AI-powered creative platform that can do
8. 0:16everything from generating ideas, visual
9. 0:19design, video generation, and so much
10. 0:21more. So, in this video, I'm going to
11. 0:23break down the biggest announcements
12. 0:25from CapCut's latest event. I'll explain
13. 0:28why these updates are important for
14. 0:30everyone creating YouTube videos, and
15. 0:32then I'll show you exactly how to use
16. 0:34their new features by creating my own
17. 0:37video from scratch. Let's get into it.
18. 0:39So, on October 24th, 2026, CapCut hosted
19. 0:43CapCut World Los Angeles, where they
20. 0:45announced some major changes to the
21. 0:47platform and unveiled their latest
22. 0:49AI-powered creative tools. But, the
23. 0:51biggest announcement was actually how
24. 0:53CapCut is evolving from a traditional
25. 0:55video editor into an all-in-one creative
26. 0:58platform, bringing video editing, AI
27. 1:01generation, filmmaking, and design
28. 1:03together. And a big part of this is how
29. 1:06everything now connects to each other.
30. 1:08CapCut is building a connected ecosystem
31. 1:10across mobile, web, desktop, and tablet,
32. 1:14where your projects, your media, and
33. 1:16even your characters
34. 1:19all stay connected between each of these
35. 1:21devices. So, for example, you could
36. 1:23start creating a new YouTube video on
37. 1:26your tablet, continue working on it on
38. 1:28your phone, and then move over to your
39. 1:30desktop to finish the editing. And the
40. 1:33video is still there, like ready to use
41. 1:35on whichever device you want. Now, the
42. 1:37idea is to make the whole process more
43. 1:39seamless. So, you basically spend less
44. 1:42time transferring files or reorganizing
45. 1:44projects, and actually more time
46. 1:47creating videos. So, to show you how all
47. 1:49of this works, I'll create a video using
48. 1:52three key parts of CapCut's new creative
49. 1:55workflow. I'll develop the visuals in
50. 1:57design studio, I'll then build out the
51. 2:00video in video studio, and then I'll
52. 2:02finish editing on desktop. All right, so
53. 2:05now we're going to take a YouTube video
54. 2:07from initial ideas through to a finished
55. 2:10edit. Now, I'll use one consistent
56. 2:12example throughout this, so let's say
57. 2:14I'm going to make a brand new video on
58. 2:17how solitary tigers survive in freezing
59. 2:20Siberia. Now, one of the first things I
60. 2:23have to do is kind of figure out what
61. 2:25exactly this video is going to look
62. 2:26like. So, before I start building the
63. 2:28scenes and the full plan, I need to
64. 2:30decide what the focus of the video is
65. 2:33and what I'm going to use throughout the
66. 2:35video. So, this is where CapCut's
67. 2:37upgraded design studio and creative
68. 2:39assistant come in. So, rather than just
69. 2:42using like AI to generate a random image
70. 2:44for me, I can now use the inspiration
71. 2:47center in design studio to explore
72. 2:50different ideas, develop a specific
73. 2:52style, and then start creating the
74. 2:54visual assets that I'll be using in my
75. 2:57actual video. So, for this example, I
76. 2:59want to create a consistent tiger
77. 3:01character and a cold like cinematic
78. 3:04forest setting. So, essentially, I want
79. 3:07to follow like a specific tiger on its
80. 3:10journey through Siberia. So, in this
81. 3:11case, I need to create the tiger itself,
82. 3:14the cold freezing landscapes of Siberia,
83. 3:17and then I also need to create like
84. 3:19other secondary characters like the deer
85. 3:22the tigers eat, a female tiger that the
86. 3:24main one might come across, the freezing
87. 3:27forest, and all that kind of stuff. Now,
88. 3:29these visual elements here are going to
89. 3:30be the foundation of my video, and like
90. 3:33everything will be created with these as
91. 3:36the focus. So, it's really important you
92. 3:38spend a lot of time here in this section
93. 3:40because you need to perfect these
94. 3:42visuals because these are going to be
95. 3:43what you're taking with you for the rest
96. 3:44of the video. Now, you can make any
97. 3:46specific adjustments to any of the
98. 3:47visual assets you need to before you
99. 3:49carry forward the ones you want. So, if
100. 3:51there's any fine details that you want
101. 3:53to change with the tiger or with the the
102. 3:56the forest, I can do so in here, and
103. 3:58it's really easy to do so. Because doing
104. 4:00it this way, you can kind of like build
105. 4:02out all of the styles and the assets
106. 4:03first, which gives you something more
107. 4:06useful and more concrete rather than
108. 4:08just like a bunch of unrelated images
109. 4:10that don't really make any sense and
110. 4:12don't really stay consistent. All right,
111. 4:13so once I've chosen the focus of the
112. 4:15video and I'm happy with these visual
113. 4:17assets I've created, the next step is to
114. 4:20then bring these references into video
115. 4:23studio and start developing the actual
116. 4:25video plan. Now, the AI here can help
117. 4:27the early planning of the video and the
118. 4:29storyline. And then director mode
119. 4:31basically helps turn those creative
120. 4:33decisions into instructions for
121. 4:35generating the live video shots. So, we
122. 4:37basically want director mode to help
123. 4:40generate the video plan, the script, and
124. 4:42the shot list first. All we have to do
125. 4:44is just describe how you envision the
126. 4:46video to go, and then the AI will
127. 4:48actually create a full plan for you. We
128. 4:50can then use this plan and shot list to
129. 4:52turn all of those 2D flat images I
130. 4:55created earlier into actual videos. Now,
131. 4:57the important thing is that CapCut's AI
132. 4:59will keep the exact same details
133. 5:01consistent from these 2D flat images,
134. 5:04which is great because we need it
135. 5:05consistent across the whole video. So,
136. 5:07for this example, I'm going to keep it
137. 5:08simple. Just establish the forest,
138. 5:11introduce the main tiger, and then move
139. 5:13into a closer shot. Like a really easy
140. 5:15shot just to actually start this video
141. 5:16off. And look, it looks great. Like that
142. 5:19is the exact tiger, that is the kind of
143. 5:20visual forest I was looking for, and
144. 5:22we've got our first shot that is
145. 5:24consistent with the actual 2D images we
146. 5:26created at the start. And obviously,
147. 5:27look, this is still AI, so I do want
148. 5:30full creative control over how
149. 5:31everything looks, and I suggest you do,
150. 5:33too. So, I will always review the
151. 5:35generated clips before I actually use
152. 5:37them. Now, one of the important updates
153. 5:39is the new built-in timeline editor
154. 5:41inside of director mode. So, once I've
155. 5:43selected the shots that I like, I can
156. 5:45then bring them down from the canvas
157. 5:47into the timeline and then start shaping
158. 5:50the actual sequence without actually
159. 5:52having to leave video studio. So, I've
160. 5:54literally just dragged it down, and I'm
161. 5:55still here with all of that stuff
162. 5:57previously, and now I'm actually like
163. 5:59editing the video in the sequence, which
164. 6:00is cool. Now, the generation stage
165. 6:02before creates the actual videos, but
166. 6:04this new timeline editor is where I can
167. 6:06actually arrange these shots, choose the
168. 6:08perfect cuts, and then the right order,
169. 6:11and I can actually work on how the
170. 6:13sequence plays out as a rough cut. So,
171. 6:15I'm basically editing the video here
172. 6:17straight after developing the scenes.
173. 6:19Now, this is quite useful because it
174. 6:20connects the creative work on the canvas
175. 6:23to the first proper edit of the actual
176. 6:25video all in one proper flow. So, once
177. 6:27I've got the basic video together, I can
178. 6:29then continue the project in CapCut
179. 6:31desktop for a more detailed
180. 6:34post-production. So, here I'm actually
181. 6:36choosing desktop, and I'm carrying the
182. 6:39sequence forward. So, I can carry on
183. 6:41refining the work I've already done
184. 6:43beforehand without having to like
185. 6:45transfer any files or re-upload stuff
186. 6:47and anything like that. So, I can just
187. 6:49come in here like adjust the timing,
188. 6:51work on the tracks, and make a more
189. 6:53detailed like editing decision. Now,
190. 6:56edit pilot, which is another update they
191. 6:58have, already provides like AI-assisted
192. 7:00editing. Now, the new interactive edit
193. 7:03capabilities gives creators another way
194. 7:06to work directly with a footage, and
195. 7:08it's just like another useful tool that
196. 7:10if you weren't so confident with your
197. 7:11own editing, use this new edit pilot
198. 7:13because it's like new AI-assisted
199. 7:15editing can do a lot of the work for
200. 7:17you. So, for example, I can select a
201. 7:20visual area here like this shot, and
202. 7:22basically just describe the change I
203. 7:24want. So, now I can basically just say I
204. 7:27want a slightly darker background whilst
205. 7:29keeping the tiger unchanged. And then I
206. 7:32can keep refining it if I need to, or
207. 7:34even if I don't like this change, I'll
208. 7:36just reject it, and I can start again.
209. 7:39Now, this is pretty useful because I can
210. 7:41give a specific editing instruction, I
211. 7:44can review the output, and then still
212. 7:46make the final creative decision myself.
213. 7:48Like, it's not up to the AI if I don't
214. 7:50want it to. And look, already I'm well
215. 7:53on my way to creating a brand new fully
216. 7:55polished YouTube video extremely easy
217. 7:57thanks to all of these new tools from
218. 7:59CapCut. Now, having everything connected
219. 8:01has made it so easy to go from my idea
220. 8:03and a photo of a tiger to a fully edited
221. 8:07and polished YouTube video, which is
222. 8:08pretty crazy. Like imagine someone
223. 8:10showing you this 10 years ago, you'd
224. 8:12think they're going mad. But yeah, look,
225. 8:14there's also this thing called AI Lab in
226. 8:16the CapCut mobile app, which supports an
227. 8:18even different kind of workflow. It's
228. 8:21way can actually start with a batch of
229. 8:23photos and clips or a simple editing
230. 8:26instruction to create a first version
231. 8:28that you can review and continue
232. 8:30editing. So, the new CapCut platform
233. 8:32includes loads of different ways to
234. 8:34create depending on the task and the
235. 8:36actual device you're using. So, why does
236. 8:38all of this actually matter to
237. 8:39YouTubers? Well, look, the way I see it
238. 8:42is that most small YouTubers are doing
239. 8:44pretty much everything themselves.
240. 8:46You're coming up with ideas, you're
241. 8:48writing scripts, you're filming, and
242. 8:50then editing, then creating thumbnails,
243. 8:52and everything else. And that's pretty
244. 8:54much a full-time job on its own. And no
245. 8:57wonder people struggle between actual
246. 8:59work and YouTube work. And ultimately,
247. 9:01this means that you can spend less time
248. 9:02on the boring side of things and
249. 9:04actually have more time focusing on what
250. 9:06actually matters, like coming up with
251. 9:07cool ideas, telling better stories, and
252. 9:10understanding what your audience
253. 9:12actually want to watch. Now, personally,
254. 9:14I actually think this is a really
255. 9:15interesting and exciting direction for
256. 9:17CapCut, especially for you smaller
257. 9:19YouTubers. Because if CapCut and its AI
258. 9:22can take care of all of the more boring,
259. 9:24time-consuming production work, it gives
260. 9:26you far more time to focus on enjoying
261. 9:29YouTube and enjoying making videos. So,
262. 9:31yeah, like I think that the biggest
263. 9:32takeaway here is that CapCut is really
264. 9:35trying to make it easier for YouTubers,
265. 9:37big and small, to actually create
266. 9:39high-quality videos and bring every part
267. 9:41of the design process together all in
268. 9:44one place. So, you're not here, there,
269. 9:46and everywhere. So, look, guys, if you
270. 9:48do want to explore these new tools
271. 9:49yourself, I'll leave a link to CapCut in
272. 9:51the description below. I suggest you
273. 9:53click on it, give it a try. You'll
274. 9:55You'll really like it. And look, let me
275. 9:56know in the comments what you think of
276. 9:57these new updates, what you've created
277. 9:59with CapCut, and whether you think you'd
278. 10:02use AI more in your videos going forward
279. 10:05or not, given like how good they are
280. 10:07now. Anyway, thanks very much for
281. 10:08watching. Hope you enjoyed it. See you
282. 10:09next one. Goodbye.
