Using CapCut to Create Ad Reels for Brands
✅ 1. Understand the Brand Brief
Before editing anything, clarify:
- Goal of the ad (awareness, conversion, product highlight?)
- Target audience
- Key message or CTA (e.g., “Shop now,” “Link in bio”)
- Platform requirements (IG Reels, TikTok, etc.)
- Branding guidelines: colors, logos, fonts, tone
🧾 Use a quick intake form to gather all this in one go.
🧩 2. Organize Your Assets
Set up a folder like:
and_AdProject/
Product Clips/ – Shots of the product in use or staged
Voiceover/ – Recorded narration for the ad
Music/ – Background tracks and licensed music
Logo_Assets/ – Brand logos, fonts, and graphic elements
Final Exports/ – Finished, client-ready ad video
Tip: Ask for high-resolution logo files, product b-roll, and music licensing info.
🎬 3. Edit the Reel in CapCut
🔹 Start Strong (First 1–3 Seconds)
- Hook viewers with:
- Bold text: “Struggling with ___?” or “This changed my ___.”
- Product in action
Face + reaction + subtitle
🔹 Structure Example (30-Second Reel)
makefile
- 00:00–00:03 – Hook (problem or eye-catcher)
- 00:04–00:10 – Product introduction / key benefit
- 00:11–00:20 – Demo, testimonial, or comparison
- 00:21–00:28 – Call to Action (e.g., Shop Now, Learn More)
- 00:29–00:30 – Brand logo / outro
🎨 4. Add Branding & Visuals
- Upload the brand’s custom font and hex color codes into CapCut.
- Add logo overlays (bottom corner or outro).
- Use consistent transitions and text styles across ads.
- CapCut Pro users: Access premium transitions and effects to elevate polish.
🔊 5. Use Voiceover or Captions
- Add a conversational voiceover (use CapCut’s “Voiceover” tool).
- Or, use auto-captions and style them to match brand fonts/colors.
- Make sure voiceovers match the tone — fun, sleek, serious, etc.
🔁 6. Export & Deliver
- Resolution: 1080x1920
- Format: MP4, 30fps
- Export variations if needed:
- Text-heavy for silent viewing
- With/without music
- Different CTAs (e.g., "Order Now" vs. "Try It Today")
🗂 Deliver final files via Google Drive or Dropbox in labeled folders:
- Brand_Ad_Final/
- IG_Reel.mp4
- TikTok_Variant.mp4
- Captions_Only.mp4
- Source (e.g., .capcutproj or .zip)
🧠 Pro Tips:
- Watch 5–10 Reels in the brand’s niche to match tone and pacing.
- CapCut’s smart cutout or auto-background remover can enhance product focus.
- Use trending sound templates (with permission/licensing) for virality.
