upload capcut video to tiktok

Do you want to know how to upload CapCut videos onto TikTok? Well, we’ve got you covered.

You may have just edited a video in CapCut and now you want to upload it to TikTok for others to see.

Let’s get right into this!

Method 1: Upload a video directly from CapCut to TikTok

The first method we will explain will involve uploading the video directly from CapCut to TikTok.

1. Finish editing your project

Firstly, you need to finish editing your project. You could consider adding some music from TikTok to your project as well with the help of our other guide.

Make sure you have added everything (effects, transitions, music) you would like to add.

2. Export your project

Secondly, you need to export your project.

But, before you export your project, you may want to select a higher or lower resolution for your project and adjust the frame rate.

Otherwise, it will use the default selection which for us was 1080p. This is fine for most people.

In order to change the resolution, tap on the current resolution, which you can see in the top right of CapCut.

This will open up a menu where you can select the resolution and frame rate for your video and project.

Once you’re ready, tap on the Export button in the top right of the project page on CapCut.

The button looks like an arrow pointing upwards.

Then, your project and video will start to be exported.

The time this takes will depend upon the length of the video and the quality of it as well.

3. Post the video on TikTok

After the video has finished exporting you will see a few different places where you can share your video to.

One of them will be TikTok.

So, tap on the button which says “Share to TikTok”.

Then, you can tap on the Next button at the bottom of your screen.
