CapCut is a popular video editing app that allows users to easily edit videos with professional-looking effects and templates. If you want to access more templates in CapCut beyond the defaults it comes with, there are a few different options available.
Finding More Free Templates in CapCut
The CapCut app comes pre-loaded with some basic templates and effects that you can use on your videos. However, if you want access to more template options, you can find additional free templates right within the CapCut app.
Here are some ways to find more templates on CapCut:
- Tap on the “Templates” icon on the home page – this will open up the templates library where you can browse different template categories.
- Scroll all the way to the bottom of the template options – there is a “Get More” option here that will let you download additional free templates.
- Tap on the “Explore” tab – this shows curated video projects and templates created by other CapCut users that you can browse through.
Tapping “Get More” in the templates section is the easiest way to quickly find more free templates. This gives you access to template packs in categories like “Vlog”, “Cooking”, “Travel” and more. You can preview the templates and tap “Add” to download the ones you want directly in the app.
Subscribing to CapCut Premium for More Templates

If you use CapCut frequently, a premium subscription can be worth it to get more creative options. You can access it through the “Premium” tab in the app.
Using Video Templates from Other Sources
You aren’t limited to just the templates available directly within CapCut. There are lots of sites and resources that offer free and paid video templates that are compatible with CapCut.
Here are some options:
- Envato Elements – Subscription service with unlimited downloads from video templates, graphics, music, and more. Many templates work with CapCut.
- MotionDen – Marketplace for video creators selling templates, graphics, transitions and effects packs. Compatible with CapCut.
- Etsy – Sellers offer CapCut and other app-compatible templates and template bundles.
- Youtube – Search for CapCut template and effect packs people have uploaded to Youtube.
The advantage of using templates from third-party sites is you often get more options and variety. Just make sure the templates are specifically marked as compatible with CapCut before purchasing them.
Importing Templates into CapCut
Once you have downloaded template videos from external sites, it’s easy to add them into CapCut:
- Open up the CapCut app and tap on ” Projects” in the bottom menu bar.
- Tap the “+” button to start a new project.
- Select “Import Video” and find the template video file on your device storage.
- The template clip will now be imported into your CapCut project. You can edit it like any other video.
One tip is to use longer template videos (20-30 seconds), then you can split and use just a portion you need for your specific video project.
Creating Your Own CapCut Templates
If you can’t find a template that fits what you need, another option is to create your own custom CapCut template.
Here is a step-by-step guide to making a template:
- Plan the template design – Decide what visuals, effects, transitions you want to include.
- Collect assets – Gather video clips, images, graphics you want to use. Ensure you have rights to use them.
- Create the base video – Import clips into CapCut and assemble the template timeline, add effects and text.
- Save as a template – Export the finished template video from CapCut at highest resolution.
- Import back to CapCut – Import the rendered template back into CapCut as needed. Customize for each use.
The advantage of creating your own templates is you can build exactly what you need. You can reuse templates across multiple videos to maintain visual consistency and brand style.
Tips for Making Good CapCut Templates
- Use high quality source assets for best results.
- Make templates longer (20-30 seconds) to allow greater editing flexibility.
- Add multiple drop zones and text placeholders for easy customization.
- Include a variety of effects, transitions and visual elements.
- Use a consistent color palette and font scheme.
- Save the final template video in highest resolution.
Sharing Your Own CapCut Templates
Once you make your own custom CapCut templates, you can also choose to share them with the community:
- Sell on Etsy – List your template downloads on your Etsy shop.
- Sell on video marketplaces – Upload to sites like MotionDen and Envato.
- Share for free – Post your template files on sites like MediaFire and allow free downloads.
