Now that you’ve generated your animated Bible video and added a voiceover, it’s time to bring everything together in the editing phase. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to edit your video using CapCut, one of the most powerful and beginner-friendly video editors available today.
This process will help you turn your AI-generated visuals into a polished, scroll-stopping final product — ready to upload to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels.
🧰 Step 1: Import Your Assets Into CapCut
Open CapCut, and in the top-left corner:
- Click “Media” to import:
- Your dynamic video clips (from HailuoAI, Runway, or MidJourney)
- Your voiceover file (from ElevenLabs or other text-to-speech tools)
- Click “Add to Track” to place both into your editing timeline.
🗂️ Step 2: Understand CapCut’s Tool Panel
You’ll find CapCut’s tools arranged in the top-left toolbar in this order:
- Media
- Audio
- Text
- Stickers
- Effects
- Transitions
- Captions
- Filters
- Adjust
These tools are what you’ll use to enhance your video step by step.
✂️ Step 3: Match Voiceover With Video
Match each animated clip with its corresponding line of voiceover. Usually, the animation is longer than the voiceover — so you can:
- Speed up the video slightly
- Or trim it to match the voiceover
🔄 Pro Tip: Do this through the entire timeline before moving to the next steps. This keeps your story tight and engaging.
📱 Step 4: Set the Correct Aspect Ratio (Important for TikTok)
- Set your project to 9:16 — the vertical video format for TikTok and Reels.
- This ensures the video fills the screen and performs well on mobile devices.
🎯 Step 5: Open Strong – Use Eye-Catching Visuals First
If you’ve created multiple animated versions, pick the most dramatic or visually striking clip as your opening shot. This grabs attention in the first few seconds — which is critical for retention.
🌌 Step 6: Add Visual Effects (Optional but Powerful)
To enhance your storytelling:
- Navigate to the “Effects” section
- Browse categories or use the search bar
- Apply selective effects — not every scene needs them
📌 Example: For a horror-themed or prophecy-focused video, try “Dark Glitch” from the Glitch category to create a suspenseful atmosphere.
🔊 Step 7: Add Sound Effects (SFX)
Go to the Audio tab and add sound effects that match the visuals:
- Thunder
- Fire
- Trumpets
- Footsteps
- Angelic or demonic sounds
📣 Just remember: don’t let the sound effects overpower the voiceover. Keep them subtle and complementary.
🔁 Step 8: Add Transitions Between Clips
Use transitions from the “Movement” category to keep your video flowing naturally and dynamically.
Some solid choices include:
- Zoom
- Slide
- Rotate
- Cross-dissolve
Transitions help avoid awkward jumps between clips and enhance storytelling rhythm.
🎵 Step 9: Add Background Music (BGM)
This is the final audio layer. But before you choose a song, here’s what to know:
🎼 Music Selection Tips:
- Search for terms like:
- “Epic cinematic” for prophecy/judgment videos
- “Emotional piano” for comforting or redemptive stories
- Match the tone of your Bible story — don’t use overly dramatic music for calm narratives.
✅ TikTok Copyright Check:
To avoid takedowns or muted audio, use CapCut’s Copyright Check feature:
- Go to Audio
- Click Copyright
- CapCut will scan and confirm whether your track is safe for TikTok
If you see:
“Your video can be posted on TikTok.”
You’re good to go!
📤 Step 10: Export Your Final Video
Once everything’s aligned — voice, visuals, effects, transitions, music — click Export in the top-right.
✅ Recommended Settings:
- Format: MP4
- Codec: H.264
- Resolution: 1080p
- Frame Rate: 30 FPS
Your polished video is now ready to share with the world!
🙌 Final Thoughts: Why Editing Is Just As Important As Scripting
You might have the best AI-generated content, but without tight editing, even great stories can fall flat.
CapCut allows you to:
- Keep your pacing tight
- Make your message more powerful
- Create a consistent brand identity across Bible videos
