Let's talk about video formats. A video format is like a language for your video. Different devices and platforms understand different formats. Here are some common video formats that CapCut Pro supports:
-
MP4 Format
The MP4 format is the most popular. It works on almost every device. You can watch MP4 videos on phones, tablets, and computers. MP4 videos have good quality and small file sizes. This makes them great for sharing online. Most people choose MP4 when exporting videos from CapCut Pro.
-
MOV Format
The MOV format is another option. This format is often used by Apple devices. It gives high-quality videos but can have larger file sizes. If you are using a Mac or an iPhone, MOV might be a good choice. CapCut Pro allows you to export videos in this format too.
-
AVI Format
AVI is an older format but is still used today. It stands for Audio Video Interleave. AVI videos can be larger because they often have higher quality. However, not all devices can play AVI files. If you want high-quality videos and don’t mind the larger size, you can use AVI in CapCut Pro.
-
MKV Format
MKV is another format supported by CapCut Pro. It is good for high-quality videos and can store many different types of media. This includes subtitles and different audio tracks. MKV is great if you want more options, but it may not work on all devices.
-
WebM Format
WebM is a newer format designed for web use. It is efficient and can produce high-quality videos. WebM is great for sharing videos online. However, not all platforms support WebM. If you plan to upload your video to a website, check if it accepts WebM.
Video Resolutions
Now that we know about formats, let’s look at video resolutions. Resolution is the amount of detail in your video. It is usually measured in pixels. The higher the resolution, the clearer and sharper the video looks. Here are the resolutions CapCut Pro supports:
-
480p (Standard Definition)
480p is the lowest resolution supported by CapCut Pro. It has a size of 640x480 pixels. This resolution is not very clear, but it works well for small screens. If you are making a video for a low-speed internet connection, 480p is a good choice.
-
720p (High Definition)
720p is also known as HD. It has a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. This resolution offers much better quality than 480p. 720p is great for YouTube videos and watching on smartphones. Most people prefer 720p for their videos.
-
1080p (Full High Definition)
1080p is another popular resolution. It has a size of 1920x1080 pixels. This resolution gives clear and sharp videos. 1080p is perfect for sharing on social media. Many people choose this resolution for their projects because it looks good on all devices.
-
4K (Ultra High Definition)
4K is the highest resolution supported by CapCut Pro. It has a size of 3840x2160 pixels. 4K videos look amazing and have incredible detail. However, they also take up a lot of space. You need a powerful device to play and edit 4K videos. If you want the best quality, 4K is the way to go.
Choosing the Right Format and Resolution
Now that we know the formats and resolutions, how do you choose the right one? It depends on where you plan to share your video and what kind of quality you want.
- For Social Media: If you are making a video for social media, like Instagram or TikTok, MP4 at 1080p is a great choice. It looks good and is easy to share.
- For YouTube: For YouTube videos, use MP4 at 1080p or even 4K if you want the best quality. People watch a lot of videos on YouTube, so having a clear video is important.
- For Personal Use: If you just want to keep a video for yourself, you can choose any format. If you have enough space, you might even go for 4K.
- For Smaller Devices: If your video is for a small screen, like a low-end smartphone, 480p is fine. It saves space and is easier to load.
- For Higher Quality Needs: If you are making a video for a presentation or a professional project, use 1080p or 4K. High-quality videos impress your audience.
