LinkedIn is not a mere resume wall in our age of a digital-first society, but a dynamic tool of networking, thought leadership, as well as professional branding. Video content is one of the strongest instruments to gain prominence on LinkedIn.
Videos attract attention whether you want to market your brand, describe complicated services, or post a portfolio. CapCut Desktop Video Editor is one of the best video editors (because it is free and has all the power of a standard video editor), which can make professional-looking LinkedIn videos with less effort.
This tutorial takes you through five implementable steps to create LinkedIn videos of quality using CapCut. We will also go through how to leverage these powerful in-built AI options, such as the AI voice generator, AI video upscaler, as well as make the editing process smoother; there is a text-to-speech AI.
Why Use CapCut for LinkedIn Video Creation?
CapCut Desktop is great for professionals due to an easy operating panel, an accurate timeline to edit the video, and overall, vast standard built-in functions-including subtitle creation, background removal, to name two.
What is most important is, it does not require complex software or costly editors; thus, it is ideal when used by entrepreneurs, recruits, marketers, and content creators.
When it comes to shooting a short video message, updating your career, or teaching, CapCut provides all the tools you need under a single roof. In case you have limited voiceover materials, you can use CapCut AI voice generator to create high-quality audio to be read out loud on your script without having to read it yourself, suitable when you want to spread a critical statement or to teach your product.
So, now it is time to begin with the step-by-step process.
Step 1: Start a New Project and Import Your Footage
Launch the Open CapCut Desktop and press the ”New project“ button to enter the main combo of the programme. The screen will be empty with the timeline and other editing options visible.
Go to the “Media” part (top left) and click on “Import”, which will open a window where you select the video clips or assets you wish to add to your LinkedIn video. When uploaded, one simply needs to drag them into the timeline to start editing.
In order to make your LinkedIn videos short and to the point, you need to cut off extra recording time by clicking on the clip and moving its boundary on the timeline. We can also use the “Split” tool to divide clips into smaller pieces so as to reshape them or delete unwanted content.
Step 2: Add Text, Titles, and Branding
A professional LinkedIn video tends to include a title at the beginning of the video and a CTA (call to action) at the end of the video. With the help of CapCut, this is not a problem.
Use the top toolbar to select “Text”, and you will then have two options of using either “Default text” or “Text template” to include the headlines or subtitles. This page is typeable, and the right side has a properties panel to format fonts, colors, animation, and layout to align with your branding.
It is also a good spot to introduce your name, title, or site link, or LinkedIn moniker. Ensure that it is tidy and legible-do not stuff in too much text and make it less understandable.
Step 3: Enhance Visual Quality Using AI Tools
Photographs should be in focus, and they can be as clear as possible in a professional media site such as LinkedIn. In case your video material looks poor quality or blurred, CapCut Desktop will help you.
Click on the video on the timeline and then under the top toolbar select, “Enhance quality”. It will bring the possibilities to change brightness, contrast, clarity, and saturation.
When it comes to working with low-resolution clips, resort to the AI video upscaler, which upscales the quality and clears up the clips automatically with the help of AI optimization.
These enhancements help your video look crisp and credible, ideal for maintaining a professional edge in your LinkedIn content.
Step 4: Add Voice Narration or Convert Text to Voice
Nevertheless, when you are not planning to act as a narrator yourself, CapCut will help you with the “Text to speech” option.
There is a pointer in the upper toolbar, by clicking on “Text to speech”, the media player will open automatically. The next step is to add a script to the text box that will appear.
You can either enter your script there manually or copy and paste it there. Select one of the voices available; the differentiation should be done by what suits the speaker in the CapCut.
There are a variety of voices of different accents sounding like a natural voice to choose from. Upon choosing your favorite voice and language, hit the “Generate speech” button, and CapCut will transcribe the script in the form of a voiceover.
The feature comes in handy, particularly when you have a lot to do and very little time or when you need many voiceovers within a short period. Using text to speech AI, you can achieve a refined narration experience without having to recruit voice talents and deliver a studio recording.
Step 5: Export and Optimize for LinkedIn
When you have finished creating a video, it is time to export it.
Press the “Export” button at the top right part of the screen. Select a resolution (best is 1080p with LinkedIn), format (MP4 has proven best), and file name. To ensure that you do not have to make excessive buffering, make sure that your bitrate and frame rate settings are optimized to work on online platforms.
To have more interaction with LinkedIn posts, ensure that the video is less than 90 seconds, has a clear thumbnail, and a descriptive caption. Additionally, it is possible to add subtitles through the “Auto Captions” feature in CapCut, which makes it even more accessible and allows the audience to watch the videos even with the sound switched off.
