Saving & Exporting Your First Project in CapCut

So you’ve finished editing your first video in CapCut — you’ve trimmed the clips, added music, thrown in some effects, and now you’re ready to share it with the world. But wait… how exactly do you save and export your project the right way?

Whether you're using the regular app or CapCut Mod, this guide walks you through the final and most important step of your editing journey: saving and exporting your video.

💾 Saving Your Project (Auto-Save & Manual Save)

✅ Auto-Save

CapCut automatically saves your progress as you edit. So even if you accidentally exit the app or get a phone call, your project is safe in the background.

✅ Accessing Drafts

• From the home screen, tap on the “Drafts” section.
• Your unsaved projects will be listed here.
• Tap to reopen and continue editing anytime.

🔁 You can work on multiple projects at once and switch between them freely.

📤 How to Export Your Video

Once you’re happy with your project, here’s how to export it as a final video file:

✅ Step-by-Step:

1. Tap the arrow icon (⤴️) in the top-right corner of the editing screen.

2. Choose your export settings:

• Resolution: 480p, 720p, 1080p, or 4K (CapCut Mod unlocks higher resolutions).
• Frame Rate: 24fps, 30fps, 60fps — higher fps = smoother video.

3. Tap “Export” and wait for the rendering to finish.

4. Once done, your video will be saved to your device’s gallery or camera roll.

💡 You can also share directly to TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube from within the app.
