How to Use CapCut Free AI Video Generator to Create Stunning Content for Social Platforms

The new CapCut free AI video generator is mind-blowing. It takes faceless video creation to a whole new level, and it's totally free, at least for now. In this guide, you'll explore all about this tool and what you're able to create. So, let's get on with it.

Part 1. CapCut Free AI Video Generator Interface

You're currently able to access the CapCut free AI video generator on the web version, and also using the desktop app. Availability may depend on your region. You can open it directly in your browser, and using Google Chrome is recommended since it works properly with the tool.

When you go to the main CapCut online dashboard, the option you'll use here is the Free AI Video Maker.

Clicking on it opens this main window.

At the top, you have the option to start everything from scratch by clicking the New Project option. Below, you'll see templates that let you instantly create videos of all sorts and a bunch of other stuff.

Part 2. How to Create Instant Videos In CapCut Free AI Video Generator

On the main interface of the CapCut free AI video generator, when you click on Instant AI Video, it creates videos instantly using images.

Step 1. Choose Style and Aspect Ratio

Under the style section, you can scroll and choose any style you want. Options like Roman art or prehistoric styles are available, and you can pick whichever fits your idea.

Next, you can choose the aspect ratio. If you plan to post on TikTok or Instagram, you can select 9:16. If the video is for YouTube, you can choose the wider format. For this example, you can go with 9:16.

Step 2. Generate the Script and Voiceover

You can either bring in your script by selecting this option and importing it from ChatGPT. But this is an all-in-one tool, so you don't really need to bring it from there. You can go to Generate Script, give it a topic, and add some key points you want it to show, and it's going to create the script for you. For example, you might want to show people the formation of Roman soldiers in ancient times.

Below that, you can choose from multiple voiceovers. When you click on a voice, it opens a preview so you can hear how it sounds. You can also set the duration, up to 10 minutes, and this option is available for free. For a quick video, you can select 1 minute and click Create.

Now the tool goes straight to work and generates the script, voiceover, and media for your AI video.

Step 3. Edit the Script and Visuals

Once the video is created, you can play it and check how it looks. If you want to correct the script, you can select the text and click Rewrite.

Then, click on Improve It, and it creates a new script for you. From there, you click on Replace, and it replaces the script on that side.

After that, click to Update voiceover and captions. Since a new script was created, clicking this regenerates the voiceover for that part. Now you can play it and listen to it.

If you want to replace any images, you can click on them and click Replace.

Now, you can choose to generate a new AI image. In Scenes > Media, select stock media from CapCut, or upload your own media from your computer. Since this is meant to be an instant video, choose either Match your media or use stock media for a truly dynamic visual. For this example, click Stock media.

You can also trim clips or delete them from here.

Under Scenes, the existing voiceover stays intact while you adjust visuals.

Step 4. Add Captions and Music

If you're not happy with what it generated, you can go to Elements to change the captions. If you don't like the current caption style, you can select another one and apply it.

In case you want to add music before exporting, go to Music. From there, you can choose a recommended track and click the plus sign. That adds the music to the entire video.

Step 5. Export the Video

So within a few minutes, the video is ready. If you want to take it further, you can click on Edit More. Otherwise, you can click on Export, change the frame rate if needed, select a resolution up to 4K, rename the file, and export it to your computer.

Part 3. How to Brainstorm Ideas Using CapCut Free AI Video Generator

The Brainstorm with AI feature in the CapCut free AI video generator is like having a personal assistant right next to you.

Start with Brainstorming

When you click on Brainstorm with AI, this is really insane. You just need to put in a topic, like you may want to know what it takes to be a pro basketball player. That becomes your topic, and you brainstorm with AI.

Then, it brings you to a new window. It generates a few topics that you can start from. When you look here, you can zoom in and zoom out. Select an idea you input, and it creates these points for you. If you want more and you're not happy with the ones it created, you can click on Generate More, and it gives you more options.

Pick Points

This is what makes it really powerful. When you like one of the points, you can click on Pick, and it adds that point to the key points on this side. You can add as many as you want. If you like another point, you can click on it, and it drops on that side.

If you want to go really deep into that, you can click on Explore, and it creates more points from that main one. If you want to do the same again, you can click on it, and it gives you more options under that key point, and so on.

Source Links

Now check this out. CapCut free AI video generator comes with a source link too. If you want to check the source yourself, you can click on it, and it opens the exact article that the point was taken from. From here, you can do your research.

All of the points come with source links that you can click and check yourself before making the video. On this side, if you want to add more points, you can click on them, and they get added. If you want to explore more on a point, you can click on it, and it creates more for you.

Generate the Script

When you're happy with the points, you can click on Generate Script.

The tool now opens a pop-up. From here, you can select the duration you want. For example, you can go for 1 minute. You can also add requirements, such as fast-paced, energetic, or casual, by typing them on this side.

Then you click on Generate.

It takes you to the next screen. If you're happy with the script, you can click on Use. If not, you can create again.

Create AI Video and Export

In Scenes, you can add a voiceover for an avatar, or a tone or voice for that voiceover. To add media, click on Media. Generate AI Media creates a video with only images without adding dynamic visual elements. If you want videos, go to Match to Media or use Match stock media.

After that, you can go to Elements to change captions if you don't like them. Then you can go to Music, select from Recommendations, and click the plus sign to add music to the video.

When you're happy with it, you can go to Export, customize the export settings according to the platform you want the video to show, and export the video to your computer.

Part 4. How to Create a Custom Avatar for the Video in CapCut Free AI Video Generator

You can opt for an avatar for the video in the Scenes section, but you can make one yourself.

To do this, click the Avatar Video option on the main dashboard of the CapCut free AI video generator, and a new pop-up window appears on the right.

Here, click Create your avatars. Currently, you can create 5 of them for free.

Then, click Continue for the confirmation.

Next, you need to upload a selfie video of yourself speaking for at least 10 seconds. It should be in MP4 or MOV format, and the 720p or above resolution works best here. Also, it is better to upload one with a background in a solid color, and the color of your clothes is also different than the background.

What you look and sound like will be replicated in your custom avatar.

After your selfie video is uploaded, confirm CapCut's terms of use, and then click Next.

Once done, click Next, submit, and your custom avatar is created, which you can use to add to your generated AI videos in the CapCut free AI video generator.

Part 5. Using Templates to Create a Fast Video in CapCut Free AI Video Generator

On the CapCut free AI video generator page, you'll also see AI templates.

If you want a fast video to post, you can scroll through these templates and look at how they appear. If you like one, you can click on it.

Most of these templates come with an avatar and voiceovers.

Now comes the interesting part. You can put in just one word, which you already see as a suggestion in the box. Change it a bit if you like, and since the AI template is already selected, you can click on Create.

Once it's ready, it brings you to the same window again. This time, the music is added automatically. This option is meant for creating a super quick video that you want to post right away. You can play it, listen to it, and check the script. If you want the video not to be in still images, again, choose Match stock media or upload your own media.

When you're happy with the result, you can go to Export, enter the name you want to use, select the resolution, choose the frame rate, and export the video to your computer.
