πŸ“Έ Best CapCut Settings for HD Shorts Exports

For creating top-tier, high-definition content for platforms like YouTube Shorts, you need to set your export settings in CapCut just right. Here’s how to achieve HD quality that grabs attention and keeps viewers watching!

✅ Step 1: Set Your Video Format to 9:16

1.Open CapCut and create your project.

2.After importing your footage, tap the aspect ratio option and select 9:16 (ideal for Shorts, Reels, and TikToks).

  • This is the vertical format for mobile-first videos.

✅ Step 2: Set Video Resolution to 1080p

1.Tap the Export button (top-right).
2.
Resolution: Choose 1080p for high-definition quality (Full HD).

  • 4K is not necessary for Shorts, as it will increase file size unnecessarily.
  • 1080p is perfect for crisp visuals without sacrificing too much file size.

✅ Step 3: Choose 60 FPS for Smooth Motion

1.When in the export menu, set the Frame Rate to 60 FPS.

  • 60 FPS ensures ultra-smooth motion and makes fast edits, transitions, and effects look sleek.
  • It’s particularly great for action-packed content (like jump cuts or transitions).

✅ Step 4: Set High Bitrate

1.Set the Bitrate to High in the export settings.

  • Higher bitrates ensure that your video maintains its sharpness and quality, even after compression.
  • This is crucial for maintaining clarity, especially with detailed visuals and text.

✅ Step 5: Adjust Audio Settings for Clarity

1.In the audio section of your export, make sure the Audio Quality is set to High.

  • This ensures that background music, voiceovers, or sound effects don’t sound muffled or distorted.
  • You can also disable background noise reduction if you want to maintain raw sound clarity.

✅ Step 6: Add a Clean, High-Quality Thumbnail

1.YouTube Shorts and other platforms often auto-generate thumbnails, but you can add a custom thumbnail directly in CapCut before exporting.

2.Choose high-resolution images with clear, bold text to make your video more clickable.

✅ Step 7: Final Export & Check Quality

1.Once all settings are set, tap Export.

2.After export, check the video on your phone to ensure the quality is perfect (check for sharp visuals, smooth transitions, and audio clarity).
