How to Make Paid Edits for Clients Using CapCut

💼 How to Make Paid Edits for Clients Using CapCut

✅ 1. Get Clear on Client Expectations

Before opening CapCut, ask your client:

  • What platform is this for? (IG, TikTok, YouTube)
  • Target video length (e.g., 15, 30, 60 sec)
  • Visual style or reference content
  • Fonts, colors, and logo (brand kit)
  • Deadline & number of revisions

📄 Use a client questionnaire or Google Form to collect this.

📁 2. Create a Project Folder for Each Client

Organize 

  • ClientName_ProjectName/
  • Raw_Footage/ – Unedited video clips
  • Audio/ – Voiceovers, music, sound effects
  • Logos_Assets/ – Brand logos, graphics, templates
  • Drafts/ – Work-in-progress edits and previews
  • Final_Exports/ – Approved and ready-to-publish videos

Keep everything clean to avoid delays.

🎞️ 3. Edit Using CapCut (Mobile or Desktop)

  • Start a new project with the client name and date.
  • Import footage from their drive or folder.
  • Add B-roll, transitions, and branding elements (logo overlay, captions).
